continue through this afternoon. Rainfall rates may reach as
high as 1 to 2 inches per hour within the heaviest and most
persistent downpours.
Despite recent dry conditions, such high rainfall rates in a
short period of time can result in flash flooding, especially
in urban and poor drainage areas and where heavy rain
repeatedly impacts a given area. An additional 1 to 3 inches
of rain is expected for most areas in the flood watch, with
locally higher amounts possible of 3-5 inches across the
southern Greens, Berkshires and Litchfield County,
Connecticut.
