... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through Sunday morning...
The Flash Flood Watch continues for
* portions of northern Connecticut... Massachusetts... southern

areas... in northern Connecticut... Hartford CT... Tolland CT and

* 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 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 southern New
England.
* In Massachusetts... Rhode Island... and northern Connecticut a total
weekend rainfall of 3 to 6 inches is forecast... with scattered 8
inch totals.
* In southern New Hampshire a total weekend rainfall of 2 to 5 inches
is forecast... with locally higher amounts possible.
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.
