Flash Flooding Disrupts Travel in Connecticut
Flash flooding caused significant disruptions in Connecticut on Sunday morning, leading to suspended train services and the temporary closure of an airport terminal.
Metro-North and Amtrak Services Suspended
Both Metro-North and Amtrak’s New Haven Line services were halted between Norwalk and Bridgeport due to unsafe track conditions following heavy rainfall. Governor Ned Lamont’s office noted that flooding was impacting several areas, particularly in New Haven, and officials are actively monitoring the situation. Residents are advised to remain alert, exercise caution, avoid flooded roadways, and never attempt to drive through standing water.
Tweed New Haven Airport Closure

Travelers scheduled to depart from the airport were urged not to arrive until further notice, while arriving flights are subject to real-time weather conditions. Passengers were encouraged to check with their airlines for the latest flight information, with the airport pledging to provide updates as conditions evolve.
