By |

Update 2:10 p.m. Sunday

Saying no “concerning weather scenarios” are predicted here, the town is shutting down its Emergency Operations Center, New Canaan Emergency Management Director Russ Kimes said in a 2 p.m. town-wide outcall. The EOC “will monitor conditions and forecasts and will re-activate if warranted,” Kimes said. “Substantial rainfall is still expected but over the next several days,” he said. New Canaan and all of lower Fairfield County remain under Tropical Storm and Storm Surge warnings, the National Weather Service said in a 12:22 p.m. update. “The main threats from Henri continue to be heavy rain capable of producing flash flooding and river flooding, tropical storm force winds, and potentially life-threatening storm surge,” the NWS said.
