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

The Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of northwestern Connecticut, western Massachusetts,
  eastern New York, and southern Vermont.

* Through Saturday morning

* River levels are elevated across the region and the ground is
  quite saturated from the recent rainfall and snow melt.

* An area of rainfall will spread through the region this
  afternoon into this evening, with 0.5 to 1 inch expected.
  Locally higher amounts are possible in thunderstorms. Additional
  lighter rainfall will linger into Friday night.

* This rainfall, along with some additional runoff from snow melt,
  will allow for many rivers to reach or exceed flood stage. The
  Hudson River, Hoosic River and Housatonic River basins will be
  the most susceptible to flooding.

* In addition to river flooding, some minor flooding of urban,
  low lying and poor drainage areas is possible this afternoon
  when the heaviest rainfall is expected. Ponding of water will
  lead to some road closures and standing water will be present in
  fields and yards.


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.
