...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...



The Flood Watch continues for



* Portions of southern Connecticut and southeast New York, 

  including the following areas, in southern Connecticut, 

  Northern Middlesex, Northern New London, Southern Middlesex, 

  and Southern New London. In southeast New York, Northeastern 

  Suffolk, Northwestern Suffolk, Southeastern Suffolk, and 

  Southwestern Suffolk.

  area, with the potential for 2 to 4 inches of total rainfall. 

  Heavier bands could produce localized higher amounts.

  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.
