The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a



* 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, Northern New London, Southern 

  Fairfield, Southern Middlesex, Southern New Haven, and 

  Southern New London. In northeast New Jersey, Eastern Bergen,

  Richmond (Staten Island), Rockland, Southeastern Suffolk,

* 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.
