Coastal Flood in Southern New London, Connecticut

Moderate coastal flooding occurred at the New London NOS tidal gauge, with water levels above the moderate threshold of 6.0 ft MLLW from 600 AM to 800 AM EST,

and a peak water level of 6.2 ft MLLW at 730 AM EST.

Strong low pressure moving northeast from the Mid Atlantic region to southern New England during the night of January 9, 2024 into the early morning hours of January 10, 2024 produced high winds, which combined with high astronomical tides associated with an upcoming new moon to produce moderate coastal flooding along the southeast Connecticut coastline.
