Flash Flooding: We are most confident in the potential for heavy rainfall Friday night into Saturday morning. Rainfall of 1 to 2 inches is likely with locally higher amounts. Minor urban flooding is likely but more significant urban and small stream flooding is possible depending on where the heaviest rain falls.
Wind: While it is more likely that sustained tropical storm force winds remain along the Connecticut coast, it is still possible that the track of Fay shifts east in later forecast, which could bring tropical storm force winds to the Rhode Island coast and adjacent waters. Prevailing wind direction should be from the south or southeast.
Rip Currents: There is a moderate to high risk of rip currents Friday through Sunday on south coastal beaches.
