Residents across coastal areas of New York and Connecticut should prepare for possible flooding starting Wednesday morning. The National Weather Service has issued a coastal flood warning from Wednesday morning through early afternoon, particularly impacting areas like New York City, White Plains, Bridgeport, and Groton.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS), localized minor flooding is expected in these areas, with the risk of more widespread, moderate flooding increasing by Wednesday afternoon. The alert warns residents living near coastlines to prepare for road closures and possible evacuations in flood-prone zones.
Key advice from the NWS includes avoiding driving on flooded roads and securing outdoor furniture or objects that could be displaced by rising waters. People are encouraged to monitor real-time updates via the NWS website and local authorities.
By Wednesday evening, the risk of coastal flooding will spread to additional areas, potentially affecting transportation routes and low-lying neighborhoods. Residents are urged to stay vigilant through the remainder of the week as more storms may develop.
