## extract

Flood Watch — Northern Litchfield; Southern Litchfield; Northern Berkshire; Southern Berkshire; Western Greene; Eastern Greene; Western Columbia; Eastern Columbia; Western Ulster; Eastern Ulster; Western Dutchess; Eastern Dutchess; Bennington; Western Windham; Eastern Windham
Severity: Severe. Certainty: Possible.
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.

* WHERE...The mid-Hudson Valley, eastern Catskills, and the central
and southern Taconics in eastern New York, Litchfield County in
northwest Connecticut, Berkshire County in western
Massachusetts, and Bennington and Windham counties in southern
Vermont.

* WHEN...Through this evening.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Periods of moderate to heavy rain and a few thunderstorms
continue overnight into Wednesday 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, especially across portions
of the eastern Catskills, and across portions of Litchfield
and Berkshire counties.
