The National Weather Service has issued both a Hazardous Weather Outlook and a Coastal Flood Advisory for southern Fairfield and southern New Haven counties for Sunday.

The National Weather Service states that minor to localized moderate coastal flooding is possible up until 1 p.m. Sunday on the shoreline.

Some of the potential hazards via the National Weather Service advisory include:

* TIDAL DEPARTURES...2 TO 2.5 FEET ABOVE NORMAL ON LONG ISLAND SOUND...AND 1.5 TO 2.0 FEET ABOVE NORMAL

* TIMING...AROUND THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE LATE THIS MORNING.

* IMPACTS...MINOR TO LOCALLY MODERATE FLOODING OF THE MOST VULNERABLE ROADS AND/OR ADJACENT PROPERTIES.

A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY INDICATES THAT ONSHORE WINDS AND TIDES WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE FLOODING OF LOW AREAS ALONG THE SHORE.

Rain, Thunderstorms, Fog, and Windy on Sunday

Rain and possibly a thunderstorm are expected before 3 p.m. and then there is a chance of showers this evening.

The National Weather Service states that some of the storms could produce heavy rain, and fog could also pose an issue.

But temps will feel a springlike 55-60 degrees! Winds will also be gusty, possibly as high as 30 mph. We could see another inch of rain on Sunday.

Tonight any leftover showers end, and it’s down to around freezing, which could lead to some slippery spots late tonight and early Monday.
