'Severe Weather' Snarling Monday Evening Commute: Metro North

DANBURY, CT — Metro North has announced the weather is impacting the evening commute.

Harlem and New Haven Line service is temporarily suspended into and out of Grand Central Terminal because of a series of impacts from a severe summer storm moving through our area, the railroad posted on social media.

"We strongly advise that you delay traveling until we can restore train service," a Metro North spokesperson said.

Thunderstorms knocked out power to more than 31,000 electric customers across the state at one point Monday afternoon, but Eversource quickly restored power to the majority of those who lost it.

A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 10 p.m. for Fairfield and Litchfield counties.

The weather service said a strong thunderstorm will impact portions of southern Fairfield County through 5 p.m. and may produce 40 mph wind gusts. Locations impacted include: Bridgeport, Stamford, Norwalk, New Canaan, Fairfield, Greenwich, Westport, Darien, Wilton, Weston, Redding and Easton.
