If you've been dreaming of a wet Christmas, you're in luck.

Forecasters and officials are warning residents about heavy rain and winds expected to hit the region tonight.

Officials in Fairfield are expecting up to three inches of rain overnight. They say along with heavy snow melt, that's going to mean some flooded streets and basements come Christmas morning.

Fire chief and emergency management coordinator Denis McCarthy says with gusts of wind expected in the 50-mph range, there might not be power on Christmas morning.

Firefighters say it's important to secure any holiday lawn decorations.
