Flash Flood Watch
Statement as of 7:15 PM EDT on September 6, 2008


... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through Sunday morning...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* portions of northern Connecticut... Massachusetts... southern
New Hampshire and Rhode Island... including the following
areas... in northern Connecticut... Hartford CT... Tolland CT and
Windham CT. In Massachusetts... Barnstable MA... central
Middlesex MA... Dukes MA... eastern Essex MA... eastern Franklin
MA... eastern Hampden MA... eastern Hampshire MA... eastern
Norfolk MA... eastern Plymouth MA... Nantucket MA... northern
Bristol MA... northern Middlesex MA... northern Worcester MA...
southeast Middlesex MA... southern Bristol MA... southern
Plymouth MA... southern Worcester MA... Suffolk MA... western
Essex MA... western Franklin MA... western Hampden MA... western
Hampshire MA... western Norfolk MA and western Plymouth MA. In
southern New Hampshire... Cheshire NH... eastern Hillsborough NH
and western and central Hillsborough NH. In Rhode Island...
Block Island RI... Bristol RI... eastern Kent RI... Newport RI...
northwest Providence RI... southeast Providence RI... Washington
RI and western Kent RI.

* Through Sunday morning

* widespread showers with scattered thunderstorms associated with
Tropical Storm Hanna are expected to continue to cross the watch
area for much of tonight. This rain will be heavy at times. The
thunderstorms will be capable of producing 3 to 4 inches of rain in
just one hour. At this time... the highest risk for significant
urban flooding will be along and northwest of a Providence to
Boston line. However... we can not rule out some flooding even across
Cape Cod and the islands.

* In Massachusetts... Rhode Island... and northern Connecticut total
weekend rainfall of 3 to 6 inches are expected with a few isolated
higher amounts possible. In southern New Hampshire... rainfall
amounts of 2 to 5 inches are expected. Much of this rain is
expected to fall prior to 2 am.

In Connecticut... the Farmington River valley could receive several
inches of rain during the next several hours. These rains are
expected to prompt a strong rise on the river... and could result in
minor flooding on the Farmington River in Simsbury during Sunday.

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.

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.
