Parts of Connecticut are flooding as a strong storm brings heavy rain and high winds to the state on Sunday evening.

Rain developed this afternoon and will be heavy at times through this evening.

Rainfall rates could top more than 1" per hour for a time tonight. Small streams and rivers will rise rapidly.

Street and basement flooding is looking likely in parts of the state by Monday morning.

The National Weather Service has placed the entire state in a "slight risk" for flooding and a portion of the state in a "moderate risk" for flash flooding.

Along with the heavy rain, strong wind gusts are likely. Gusts to 50 mph are possible, especially along the shore and the southeast coast.

The strongest of the wind and rain will shift east of the state by the Monday morning commute.

Some colder air will filter in on the backside of the storm and a flip to snow is possible in the northwest hills. Minor accumulation is possible Monday morning.

Monday will be cooler with highs in the 40s.
