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, and Berkshire County in western Massachusetts.
-
WHEN: From 2 PM EDT this afternoon through Wednesday evening.
-
IMPACTS: Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall rates may flood low-lying, poor drainage, urban, and other flood-prone locations. Areas where heavy rainfall rates persist will especially be vulnerable to flash flooding.
-
ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
- Periods of moderate to heavy rain and thunderstorms capable of heavy downpours arrive this afternoon from west to east and continue tonight with rainfall rates reaching or exceeding 1 to 2 inches per hour at times.
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. Steady rain continues into Wednesday before transitioning to showers Wednesday night into Thursday. Three day rainfall totals likely range from 1 to 3 inches with isolated amounts of 3 to 7 inches across portions of the eastern Catskills, Litchfield County and central and southern Taconics due to upslope enhancements.
