News 12 Connecticut's Mark Sudol is in Thunderbolt 12 with the latest on the wet road conditions.

Wet weather driving safety tips:

• Reduce speed: Wet roads can be hazardous. Reduce your speed by one-third on wet roads.

• Avoid jerky, abrupt movements when braking, accelerating, or turning.

• Turn on your lights: Rain makes it harder for other drivers to see your vehicle.

• Increase your following distance: You should leave at least five seconds of following distance between your car and the one in front.

• Avoid standing water: You should not drive on roads that are covered with water.

• Avoid using cruise control: Cruise control can interfere with your vehicle's ability to decelerate.

• Prepare your car: Make sure your tires have enough air pressure and tread and check your windshield wipers.
