Flash Flood Watch, High Wind Warning Issued for RI Through Monday
Monday, October 30, 2017
The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch for all of southern New England -- and a high wind warning for parts of Rhode Island -- through Monday morning.
"Moderate to heavy rain will impact all of Southern New England today and tonight. Forecast rainfall on the order of 1 to 3 inches with locally higher amounts of 3 to 4 inches are possible especially across western portions of Connecticut and Massachusetts. Potential convection may result in higher amounts across eastern MA, but confidence is lower," writes the NWS.
"Excessive rainfall, especially with any thunderstorms, could lead to localized flash flooding at some of the faster responding streams and rivers in the region."
