Severe Storms Possible for Clinton Tonight

The National Weather Service has issued a special weather statement warning of a strong storm system expected to move through the shoreline early this evening.

In case you were thinking of heading over to the East Haven free concert on the green, it's been cancelled by the mayor's office. 

Heavy Rainfall, Flooding Possible

Additionally, a separate second line of storms continue to make their way toward Connecticut from the west, which could impact the shoreline later tonight and into early Monday morning.

The weather service reports locally heavy rainfall is possible with these storms.

"Any areas experincing this could have minor poor drainage and urban flood," the meterologists stated in their report.

They added that "localized flash flooding is also possible."

"Especially if any location receives more than one bout of heavy rainfall in a relatively short period of time," the service stated.
