Hermine may have seemed like a dud, sparing Connecticut from torrential rain and widespread damage, but the downgraded hurricane spawned winds as it sat offshore overnight, knocking down trees and wires in spots. 

Route 12, or Norwich Road, in Plainfield remains closed between Lathrop and Millbrook roads because of a broken utility pole, police said. The road will remain closed for some time, although one lane of the road was expected to be reopened sometime Tuesday morning. The pole snapped shortly before midnight.

And a tree fell on wires on Murdock Road in Pomfret, forcing police to close that street as well, the state Department of Transportation said. The road has since been reopened.

Tropical Storm Warnings along the Connecticut coast were lifted by noon, state officials said. The state Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection and the Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security said the wind is forecast to die down Tuesday night.

That certainly wasn't the case Monday night.

According to Eversource, as of 6:30 a.m., 11 Plainfield customers and two in Pomfret lacked power, which are .15 percent and .11 percent of customers in those towns, respectively, the power company said.

Old Saybrook had the highest number of customers without power — 181 — in Eversource's vast coverage area. The customers make up only 3 percent of the town's customers.

Five percent of Lyme customers, or 60, were in the dark.

Tuesday is expected to be cloudy, with a shower, according to AccuWeather.com. The high temperature is expected to be 79 degrees.

Summerlike temperatures will return at the end of the week, with high temperatures in the 90s forecast for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, AccuWeather said.
