Plenty of research has been done on this question, for the general case: https://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/global-warming-and-hurricanes/
As for this year, it's been quite active up to this point, as the last eight years have been generally...
lots of moderate 0.2" per hour rain moving into CT, the heavier stuff is staying over/just off the sound. hopefully this is light enough to not contribute to flooding... at least that was my experience with lighter rain during IDA
i witnessed the housatonic/naugatuck confluence (derby) a couple hours ago. both rivers were raging and well above normal levels. the naugatuck rose 2-3 feet from 6:15pm to 7:15pm. i saw tires and trees floating, possibly a vehicle, along with other assorted detritus. thankfully derby is on very high ground and safe.
Long Island Sound is great for swimming because the water is calm and warm. Hammonasset is good and there are a few other state beaches. No big waves though and many of the beaches are kinda small.
