Seems like rain has lightened up a bit here in Branford...but still coming down heavy (just goes to show how insane it was). visibility much better. I can actually see the restaurant sign that's some hundred feet away
Gotta watch for a few strong/severe thunderstorms late afternoon/early evening (probably more evening) with the cold front.
Crushing rain...what a drive down 91. Actually just had a decent burst of wind here in Branford not long ago
Worst probably dips off to your south. These cells may ride along the instability gradient. Actually also heading into an area of enhanced shear. I can't believe this isn't warned yet (with a SVR)
I don't know if it will sufficiently destabilize that far north. NJ/SE NY/SW CT had a tremendous boost with some earlier sun and are sort of utilizing on the pocket of steeper lapse rates aloft.
There's going to be a quite a bit of lift and divergence aloft, especially with that trough amplifying a bit across southeastern Canada...not to mention the abundance of instability. Rainfall rates are going to be pretty insane.
