We’ll see dangerous rip currents and high surf along coastal New England today into tomorrow as Tropical Storm Ernesto passes far out to sea. Beach erosion is also a concern with 4-7’ waves expected through Monday afternoon.
The National Weather Service issued a flash flood emergency for Fairfield and New Haven counties in Connecticut Sunday afternoon. The emergency has since expired, but flash flood warnings remain in effect through 10:15 p.m.

An upper-level system centered over the eastern Great Lakes will keep us unsettled through early Tuesday as several waves of low pressure pass through the region.
Much of the eastern half of southern New England will remain dry this afternoon with a few glimpses of sunshine, but western areas will remain more unsettled with the greater threat for showers and downpours in play through this evening, some localized flooding possible there.
We’ll be on humid side with highs reaching the low 70s along the coast, mid to upper 70s well inland. Widespread showers, downpours, and thunderstorms move in tonight and stick around much of the day Monday. No severe weather is expected, but a few thunderstorms may be strong enough to produce gusty winds and locally heavy.
Showers exit early Tuesday as a cold front pushes off shore, but we may see a weak wave of low pressure develop along it keeping eastern areas under the clouds longer with showers lingering into the early afternoon…we’ll keep an eye on that for you.
A dry and pleasant stretch of weather follows Wednesday through the end of the work week with temps in the 70s.
Have a great Sunday!
