Areal Flood Watch Statement as of 4:38 am EDT on September 5, 2008

... Flood Watch in effect from Saturday afternoon through late
Saturday night...

The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a

* Flood Watch for portions of southern Connecticut... northeast
New Jersey and southeast New York... including the following
areas... in southern Connecticut... northern Fairfield...
northern Middlesex... northern New Haven... northern New
London... southern Fairfield... southern Middlesex... southern
New Haven and southern New London. In northeast New Jersey...

Nassau... New York (manhattan)... northeastern Suffolk...
northern Westchester... northwestern Suffolk... Orange...
Putnam... Queens... Richmond (staten island)... Rockland...
southeastern Suffolk... southern Westchester and southwestern

* From Saturday afternoon through late Saturday night

* Tropical Storm Hanna is located north of the Bahama Islands
early this morning and is expected to continue to move northwest
today.

* Heavy rain associated with this tropical storm will spread well
ahead of the main low late tonight into Saturday night... with
the heaviest rain expected Saturday afternoon into Saturday
night. Tropical Storm Hanna is expected to produce anywhere
between 3 to 6 inches of rain with some possible higher amounts
across the watch area. These rainfall totals have the potential
to produce flooding across highly urbanized and poor drainage
areas and cause small streams and creeks to flow out of their
banks.

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

Flash flooding often leads to impassable roadways. Motorists that
attempt to cross flooded roadways but their lives in danger and
can cause thousands of dollars of damage to their vehicles due to
water entering the engine and vehicle.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
