FROM THE CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY SERVICES AND PUBLIC PROTECTION: At 2:00 PM Tropical Storm Isaias was located near 40.9 N 79.1 W or approximately 40 miles west of New York City. Isaias has maximum sustained winds of 65 MPH and is moving to the north northeast at 40 MPH. Winds on Long Island having gusted to 70 MPH in the past 30 minutes. Winds in southwestern Connecticut are gusting to 50 – 55 MPH at times. A tornado warning is in effect for Fairfield County. Eversource and UI are currently reporting a total of 30,518 customers without power mainly in southwestern CT. The center of T.S. Isaias is forecast to make its closest approach (close to western CT) at approximately 4:00 PM (2 hours from now) this afternoon. The most likely timing for the tropical storm force winds is still from now until 7:00 PM. Towns can expect winds to gust from the south and southwest at 50 – 70 MPH at times with higher gusts possible in thunderstorms. We can expect a high end moderate to borderline major impact to trees and power lines. The tropical storm will also be accompanied by some heavy rain of 1” – 3” especially in western CT and minor urban flooding is possible. The earlier arrival timing continues to bring the strongest winds into the coast at low tide. Therefore, only minor coastal flooding is expected which may inundate a few low lying coastal roads with wave splash over but no structures. ... See MoreSee Less
