Live updates: Henri downgraded to tropical depression

CHARLESTOWN, R.I. (AP) — The latest developments on Tropical Storm Henri and its impacts on the Northeast:

9 p.m.

Storm Henri weakened into a tropical depression Sunday night, as it crawled over the Northeast and continued to unleash downpours over a region already saturated by heavy rain.

At about 8 p.m. Sunday, the storm was located about 10 miles (15 km) southwest of Hartford, Connecticut, with sustained winds of up to 35 mph (55 kph), according to the National Hurricane Center.

The storm was expected to produce heavy rainfall and flooding across areas of New England, New York, New Jersey and northeast Pennsylvania on Sunday into Monday.

The storm was crawling west-northwest late Sunday evening at 7 mph (11 kph). It is expected to stall near the Connecticut-New York border, before making a slow turn north Monday morning, followed by movement east-northeast in the afternoon.

6:15 p.m.

The vast majority of customers who lost power in hard hit Rhode Island should be restored by mid-week, utility company National Grid said late Sunday.

The company said about 72,600 customers in Rhode Island and 8,500 in Massachusetts were still without power as of 5 p.m. More than 31,400 customers in Rhode Island and 20,700 Massachusetts have already had power restored since the storm’s impact began Sunday morning.

National Grid said the power outages are most prevalent in coastal Rhode Island, including South Kingstown, Narragansett, Westerly, Jamestown, Charlestown and North Kingstown.

Meanwhile, mandatory evacuations in some Connecticut shoreline communities were being lifted, hours after the worst of Tropical Henri passed through the state.
