Thunderstorms producing heavy rainfall continued to move across Fairfield and New Haven counties on Sunday afternoon, dropping between 5 and 9 inches of rain with at least an additional inch forecast to fall. The National Weather Service in New York issued a Flash Flood Emergency for these communities, warning the situation was particularly dangerous and “widespread water rescues are taking place.”
