CT Power Outages Town-By-Town: Over 6,000 Without Power Friday

CONNECTICUT — Over 6,000 homes and business are without power at 4:00 p.m. Friday, as a strong frontal system makes its way across the state, dropping power lines in its wake across the forecast area today.

Eversource is reporting 6,537 customers without power, or about 0.51 percent of its total base.

There are no United Illuminating homes and businesses in the dark as of 4:00 p.m.

According to the National Weather Service, the system will "bring a period of moderate to locally heavy rainfall from this morning through early to mid afternoon. Although widespread flooding is not expected, minor flooding of urban areas, small streams, and poor drainage areas is possible.

"Rainfall amounts will generally average around an inch, however locally higher amounts up to an inch and a half may be possible. With most of the rain falling in a 3-6 hour window, the local area has been placed in a marginal risk of excessive rainfall."

WTNH meteorologist Ryan Munn is predicting the inclement weather will blow out of Connecticut by 4 p.m.:
