The National Weather Service in Albany has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for portions of northwestern Connecticut, 
  western Massachusetts, New York and southern Vermont, including 
  the following areas, in northwestern Connecticut, Northern 
  Litchfield and Southern Litchfield. In western Massachusetts, 
  Northern Berkshire and Southern Berkshire. In New York, Eastern 
  Albany, Eastern Columbia, Eastern Dutchess, Eastern Greene,

  Recent rainfall has saturated soils within our region and rainfall 
  rates will exceed one inch per hour at times in thunderstorms, 
  producing localized flash flooding.

  Vermont, Bennington, and Windham counties. 

* Through this evening

* Heavy rain and thunderstorms yesterday resulted in 1.5 to 3 
  inches of rainfall. Additional rainfall and some isolated 
  thunderstorms today may produce an additional inch of rainfall 
  with heavy downpours possible during any thunderstorms. These 
  areas are already saturated and are therefore more vulnerable 
  to flooding. 

* High rainfall rates may result in localized flash flooding, 
  especially in poor drainage and urban areas. Some smaller 
  streams may quickly rise out of their banks. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
