The National Weather Service in Upton NY has issued a



* Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory for Poor Drainage Areas

  for...

  North central Fairfield County in southern Connecticut...

  Northern Westchester County in southeastern New York...

  Eastern Putnam County in southeastern New York...

  Rockland County in southeastern New York...



* Until 345 AM EDT



* At 141 AM EDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain due to showers 

  and embedded thunderstorms. This will cause urban and small stream 

  flooding. Overflowing poor drainage areas will result in minor 

  flooding in the advisory area. Radar estimates indicate up to one 

  inch of rain has already fallen with more heavy rain on the way.



* Some locations that will experience flooding include...

  Danbury, Peekskill, Mahopac, Lake Carmel, Sherman, Brewster,

  Brookfield, New Fairfield, Carmel, Stony Point, Jefferson Valley,

  Patterson, Putnam Lake, Buchanan and Brewster Hill.



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood

deaths occur in vehicles.



Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the

dangers of flooding.



Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small

creeks and streams, country roads, farmland, and other low lying

spots.
