Tornado touches down in Sharon

The National Weather Service says it is possible a tornado touched down in Sharon late Sunday afternoon.

The announcement comes after the organization issued a tornado watch for most of the state.

The NWS issued the watch for Fairfield, New Haven, Litchfield, Middlesex, Hartford and Tolland counties. It said the watch is in effect until 10 p.m. Sunday.

The watch was issued as Connecticut prepares for Tropical Storm Isaias to arrive later this week. Isaias is now off the coast of southeastern Florida and is expected to reach the New York City area on Tuesday, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
