Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,

While the heavy rain from today has moved into New England, rivers, mainly
in western New England, continue to rise towards flood stage. A few have
already exceeded flood stage and we have issued flood warnings for those
river points. Our Flood Watch remain in effect for this region until 1AM
tonight.

Eastern NY and western New England will stay mild tonight but we are
closely monitoring an area of showers and thunderstorms in western NY and
PA that may move into our region overnight. Any thunderstorm will be
capable of producing heavy downpours which may lead to localized poor
drainage or urbanized flooding.

Additional details on hazards expected from this ongoing event are attached.
