Rain, rain and more rain

Bridgeport, Conn. (WTNH) - Flood warnings have been posted for two rivers in Connecticut as heavy rains soak the state.

The National Weather Service issued a Flood Warning for Housatonic River at Stevenson Dam until further notice. At 9:00 a.m. the river was at 11.2 ft. Flood stage is 11 ft.

A Flood Warning was also issued for the Still River at Brookfield until Thursday morning. The river was a little more than a foot below flood stage as of 8:00 a.m.

"The Yantic River may get within 1.5 feet from all time record back in 1982," Storm Team 8 Meteorologist Gil Simmons said.

The rain storm hitting the state is expected to last into the middle of the week, and could bring from four to as much as 8 inches of rain to places before it's all done.

"It's a serious weather scenario today through the first half of Wednesday," Simmons said. "Most, if not all, rivers will reach moderate flood stage."

Gov. Jodi Rell on Sunday activated the state emergency operations center at the Hartford Armory to monitor the storm and potential flooding.

"We will make certain that cities and towns have all the help they need," the governor said in a statement. "Southern and southwestern Connecticut will once again bear the brunt of the storm, and we will be in constant contact will local emergency management officials."

As residents deal with the current storm, officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency are in the state to look at the aftermath of a previous storm. FEMA inspectors will surveying damage in a half dozen communities hit hard by the March 13-14th storm.
