Coastal Flood Watch
Issued: 9:28 PM Feb. 20, 2026 – National Weather Service
...COASTAL FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT LATE SUNDAY NIGHT...

* WHAT...1 1/2 to 2 1/2 ft of inundation above ground level
possible in vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline.

* WHERE...In Connecticut, Southern Fairfield and Southern New
Haven Counties. In New York, Southern Westchester County.

* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Widespread moderate flooding of
vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline possible. 1
1/2 to 2 1/2 ft of inundation above ground level possible in low
lying, vulnerable areas. This would result in numerous road
closures and cause widespread flooding of low lying property
including parking lots, parks, lawns and homes/businesses with
basements near the waterfront. Vehicles parked in vulnerable
areas near the waterfront will likely become flooded. Flooding
will also extend inland from the waterfront along tidal rivers
and bays.

closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
property.
