Rounds of heavy rain with embedded thunderstorms will continue into the evening, especially in southeastern Connecticut.
Several inches of rain are possible, which will increase the threat for flash flooding and river flooding. The rain will fall on already saturated ground and swollen rivers, giving the state an elevated flood threat for small streams, rivers and basement flooding.
Several roads across Connecticut remain closed due to flooding. Tweed New Haven Airport is also closed until further notice because of flooding.
The rain and storms will move out Sunday night.
A slow moving cold front will push to the east by Monday bringing a return to sunshine and drier weather to start next week.
