The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a



* Flash Flood Watch for portions of southern Connecticut, 

  northeast New Jersey, and southeast New York, including the 

  following areas, in southern Connecticut, Northern Fairfield, 

  Northern Middlesex, Northern New Haven, Southern Fairfield, 

  and Southern New Haven. In northeast New Jersey, Eastern

  Nassau, Southern Queens, and Southern Westchester. 



* From noon EDT today through this evening



* A slow moving frontal system will bring numerous showers and 

  thunderstorms to the region this afternoon into this evening.

  

* Any thunderstorms will have the potential to bring torrential

  downpours with rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour. These

  types of rainfall rates will cause urban and poor drainage

  flooding, with potential for flash flooding in areas affected by

  multiple successive thunderstorms. Additionally, rapid water

  level rises can occur on flashy small rivers and streams in 

  basins affected by this activity. 



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead

to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action

should flash flood warnings be issued.
