Gov. Malloy Warns of Potentially Hazardous Weather Conditions

(HARTFORD, Conn.) -- Gov. Dannel P. Malloy cautioned Connecticut residents Thursday to be ready for potentially hazardous weather conditions over the weekend.

“This latest round of severe weather will be similar to last week’s event,” Governor Malloy said in a statement. “The current forecast is calling for heavy rain to continue through Friday morning, so I am asking residents in low-lying areas and those along Connecticut’s rivers and streams to be aware of deteriorating weather conditions.”

The National Weather Service is predicting between 1 to 3 inches of rain, which could cause minor flooding on the state’s large rivers.

The larger rivers are expected to continue rising throughout the day on Friday, cresting either that night or on Saturday.

The Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security continues to monitor the storm and is ready to coordinate any response or assistance that may be necessary.
