There have been several problems on the highway as a storm system continues to bring rain.

Periods of rain throughout the day could create flooding due to poor drainage in areas where leaves have clogged storm sewers, according to NBC Connecticut First Alert Meteorologist Bob Maxon.

Wind speeds will likely increase, particularly in the southeastern part of the state, and gusts could reach 40 miles per hour later on Monday. This could result in scattered power outages as some tree limbs and brances might come down.
Temperatures are expected to drop again on Monday night, bringing cold weather for Tuesday and Wednesday.
