“There is high confidence in bands of heavy downpours and thunderstorms developing in the vicinity of the Tri-State area along a stalling frontal boundary this (afternoon) into tonight, most likely focused on southern portions of the area, but there is still some uncertainty regarding location,” the weather service shared in a morning briefing.
“While heavy rainfall is likely this afternoon into tonight along a stalled frontal boundary, the front, along with the heaviest rainfall, is expected to shift south Wednesday morning. Confidence is only moderate with this timing,” the weather service added.
As of now, Debby is forecast to bring more rain and thunderstorms to southern Connecticut from Thursday through Saturday, before nicer weather is expected on Sunday. Specific impacts have not been released, but will be shared later in the week as the remnants of the storm move closer to the area.

Two people have been arrested in connection to a shooting at an event hall in Waterbury last weekend.
Officers received information about a shooting at So Blu’Niq on Wolcott Street on Sunday around 5 a.m. It was also reported that a victim from the incident had admitted themselves to the hospital for treatment of gunshot wounds.
