This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northwestern Connecticut, western Massachusetts, east-central New York, eastern New York and southern Vermont.

.DAY ONE…Tonight.

Hazardous weather is not expected at this time.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN…Monday through Saturday.

Tropical moisture in the association of what was once Florence will bring a widespread rainfall to the region for late Monday through Tuesday. Although there is still some question as to where the heaviest rainfall will occur, it appears that most areas south of the Adirondacks will receive 1 to 3 inches of rain, which may fall heavy at times.

This rainfall is expected to produce localized ponding of water and standing water on roadways, with some minor flooding of urban and poor drainage areas possible. Due to the expected high rainfall rates, there is a slight risk for flash flooding. However, at this time, it appears most larger and main stem rivers will only have water rise
only within their bank’s and widespread river flooding is not anticipated.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT…

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
