Hello to all.....

.....The Remnants of Cindy now has a higher potential of producing
flooding
over portions of Southern New England with an isolated damaging wind
threat
also possible....
.....A Flood Watch is in effect for Northern Connecticut, Western and
Central Massachusetts as well as Northwest and Central Middlesex County
Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire through 6 AM Saturday Morning.
The
Heavy Rainfall will affect and slow down the Evening Commute Across the
Region and the potential exists for small flashier rivers and streams to
go
into flood if enough rainfall occurs over a specified area....
.....SKYWARN Activation in some form is possible today and Ops at NWS
Taunton is also possible today.....

The track of the remnants of Cindy is better defined and will affect much
of
Southern New England today. A Flood Watch is in effect for Northern
Connecticut, Western and Central Massachusetts as well as Northwest and
Central Middlesex County Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire through
6
AM Saturday Morning. Heavy rainfall of 2-4" is possible with isolated 5"
amounts possible. The isolated 5" amounts are possible along and north of
I-84 in Connecticut through Western and Central Massachusetts. The
Evening
commute will be significantly impacted by the heavy rainfall and could
result in significant urban and poor drainage flooding. Embedded
thunderstorms with heavier rainfall could also cause higher rainfall
amounts
in localized areas with a risk of isolated damaging wind gusts as well
particularly in Northeast Connecticut, Rhode Island and Southeast
Massachusetts including Cape Cod and the Islands.

SKYWARN Activation in some form is possible today and Ops at NWS Taunton
is
also possible today. Please report rainfall of 2" or more, final rainfall
amounts, significant flooding enough to close roads or get cars stuck in
flood waters as well as any river or stream flooding. This will be the
last
complete update. A brief update may follow if Ops at NWS Taunton is
initiated of if SKYWARN Self-Activation is needed where Flood Warnings
maybe
issued. Below is the Flood Watch Statement and Hazardous Weather Outlook
from NWS Taunton:
