Good morning everyone! Just a quick update that we have expanded the Flood Watch further west into this evening. It now includes the Hartford, Springfield, and Worcester Metro areas. Periods of heavy rain are anticipated this afternoon into early this evening. Rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour will be possible in heavier bands, which may coincide with the evening rush hour and result in pockets of flooding. We have just attached a graphic for the updated expansion of the Flood Watch. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns! Thank You! Meteorologists: Hayden Frank and Rob Megnia If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.
