... Flood Warning remains in effect until 1230 PM EDT...
The Flood Warning includes... Windham County in northeast Connecticut... all of Rhode Island... Worcester County in central Massachusetts... Essex... Middlesex... Suffolk... Norfolk... Bristol and Plymouth counties in eastern Massachusetts.
As of 5 am... rainfall totals of 2 to nearly 4 inches have been reported. The highest totals were in southern Rhode Island. Heavy rain will lessen in intensity this morning... but runoff will continue to produce rises on small streams.
Storm total rainfall of 3 to 5 inches is expected by noon. This will produce widespread urban flooding of poor drainage areas. Small streams will likely rise out of their banks.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent. Stream rises will be slow and flash flooding is not expected. However... all interested parties should take necessary precautions immediately.
Drivers should be alert for ponding of water on streets... highways and underpasses.
... Flood Watch remains in effect through Monday morning...
The Flood Watch continues for
* northern Connecticut... Rhode Island... Massachusetts east of the Berkshires and southwest New Hampshire.
* Through Monday morning
* even though the heaviest rain fell last night... occasionally heavy rain today into Monday will continue to send runoff into rivers and streams. Rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches are expected by Monday morning.
* In addition to significant urban and poor drainage flooding... small streams may rise out of their banks today. Some larger rivers... which normally take longer to respond to heavy rain... may rise out of their banks late today or tonight. Some of the more vulnerable locations include rivers in the Merrimack basin of northeast Massachusetts... as well as the Blackstone... Charles and Neponset basins.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
