...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT...

The Flood Watch continues for

* All of southern Connecticut, most of northeast New Jersey, and
  all of southeast New York.

* 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.
