Statement as of 4:19 PM EDT on September 5, 2008 |
... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect from 2 am EDT Saturday
through Sunday morning...
The Flash Flood Watch continues for
* portions of northern Connecticut... Massachusetts and Rhode
Island... including the following areas... in northern
Connecticut... Hartford CT... Tolland CT and Windham CT. In

* From 2 am EDT Saturday through Sunday morning
* tropical moisture associated with Hanna will bring periods of heavy
rain during this weekend... which could produce flash flooding. The
first round of significant rainfall is expected to occur late
tonight into early Saturday morning... well ahead of Hanna. A second
round of heavy rain is anticipated Saturday afternoon through early
Sunday morning as Hanna approaches and moves across the area. Over
the course of this weekend a widespread 3 to 6 inches of rain is
forecast in the watch area... with scattered 8 inch totals.
A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Much of this rain is expected to fall during
the nighttime. Be especially cautious at night when it is harder
to recognize the dangers of flash floods.
Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway.
For safetys sake... stay away from streams and openings to
drainage pipes. Swiftly moving waters can quickly pull a person
under water... creating a life threatening situation.
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should flash flood warnings be issued.
