The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for portions of southern Connecticut, northeast 
  New Jersey and southeast New York, including the following areas, 
  in southern Connecticut, Northern Fairfield, Northern Middlesex, 
  Northern New Haven, Northern New London, Southern Fairfield, 
  Southern Middlesex, Southern New Haven and Southern New London. In 
  northeast New Jersey, Eastern Bergen, Eastern Essex, Eastern 
  Passaic, Eastern Union, Hudson, Western Bergen, Western Essex, 
  Western Passaic and Western Union. In southeast New York, Bronx,

  Southeast Suffolk, Southern Nassau, Southern Queens, Southern 
  Westchester and Southwest Suffolk.

* From Wednesday afternoon through Thursday afternoon.

  Thursday morning. The rainfall should begin to taper off Thursday 
  afternoon. A widespread 3 to 5 inches of rain is forecast with 
  locally higher amounts possible. This rainfall combined with wet 
  antecedent conditions may lead to flash flooding. Flooding of fast 
  responding rivers and streams is possible, and flooding of main 
  stem rivers cannot be ruled out.

* From 8 AM EDT this morning through Thursday afternoon.

* The remnants of Ida as a post-tropical low will approach the 
  region today and will move near Long Island late tonight into 
  early Thursday. This approaching post-tropical low will allow for 
  deep tropical moisture along the Middle Atlantic and Northeast to 
  produce heavy rain showers this morning through early Thursday

  Thursday morning into the early afternoon from west to east. A 
  widespread 3 to 6 inches of rain is forecast with locally higher 
  amounts likely. This rainfall combined with wet antecedent 
  conditions will likely lead to flash flooding. Flooding of fast 
  responding rivers and streams is likely, with potential flooding 
  of main stem rivers as well that could linger into the day 
  Thursday.
