...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...



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, Fairfield, Middlesex,

  New Haven, and New London. In northeast New Jersey, Bergen,

  Essex, Passaic, Union, and Hudson. In southeast New York, Bronx,

  Kings (Brooklyn), New York (Manhattan), Suffolk, Nassau, Queens,

  Westchester, Orange, Putnam, Richmond (Staten Island), and Rockland.

* Showers and thunderstorms moving across the area will become

  widespread this afternoon and through Saturday morning with

  locally heavy downpours. This will result in a threat for flash

  flooding through Saturday morning across the region. 

  

* Flash flooding of urban areas will be possible where locally heavy 

  rainfall occurs. Locations that have already received substantial 

  rain in the last couple of days will be particularly vulnerable. 



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.
