...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH LATE

FRIDAY NIGHT...



The Flood Watch continues for



* All of southern Connecticut, most of northeast New Jersey, and

  all of southeast New York. 



* From Friday morning through late Friday night



* A deepening coastal low late Thursday night into Friday will 

  bring heavy rain across the area, with the potential for 2 to 

  3 inches of rainfall. Heavier bands could produce localized 

  higher amounts. 



* Smaller rivers and streams across the area will be most 

  vulnerable to the possibility of flooding. In addition, poor 

  drainage urban flooding is possible and may be enhanced by the 

  effects of coastal flooding. 



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on

current forecasts. You should monitor later forecasts and be

alert for possible flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to

flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding

develop.
