Flash Flood Watch

Issued by the National Weather Service at 12:31 PM EDT on July 24, 2008

... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect until midnight EDT
tonight...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* portions of southern Connecticut 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
southeast New York... Nassau... northeastern Suffolk...
northwestern Suffolk... southeastern Suffolk and southwestern
Suffolk.

* Until midnight EDT tonight

* a slow moving cold front slowly crossing the tri-state will
provide a focus for the development of numerous showers and
thunderstorms... some of which could repeatedly move over the
same areas. These storms also could produce torrential
rainfall... with rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour.

* An additional 1 to 2 inches of rainfall is expected through this
evening... with locally higher amounts. This rainfall... on top of
the rain which fell Wednesday and Wednesday night will likely
cause flash flooding of small streams... urban areas and poor
drainage spots within the watch area... as well as sharp rises on
larger streams and rivers. Flooding of flood prone basements is
also likely.

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.
