Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,

A Flood Watch has been issued for the entire forecast area from 8 PM
tonight through 6 AM Friday. A widespread 2 - 4 inches of rain is likely
through Thursday, with isolated higher amounts possible in the high
terrain.  The rainfall may become locally heavy which may result in some
poor drainage flooding of low lying areas, and ponding of water on
roadways. Leaves and other debris could clog some drains and produce some
nuisance flooding.

A Wind Advisory has been issued for the entire forecast area from 8 PM
tonight through 8 PM Thursday. Southeast winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts
over 45 mph are possible this evening for the Taconics, Berkshires,
northwest hills of Connecticut and southern Green Mountains of Vermont.
Winds then shift out of the northwest on Thursday with sustained winds 10
to 20 mph with gusts up to 45 mph expected.

Please see attached forecast graphics for total rainfall as well as maximum
wind gusts for this event.
