- Periods of moderate to heavy rain and thunderstorms arrive
this afternoon from west to east and continue into tomorrow
with rainfall rates reaching or exceeding 1 to 2 inches per

Despite recent dry conditions, such high rainfall rates in a

in urban and poor drainage areas and where heavy rain
repeatedly impacts a given area. Steady rain continues into
Wednesday before transitioning to showers Wednesday night
into Thursday. 2 to 4 inches of rain is expected for most
areas in the flood watch, with locally higher amounts
possible in the eastern Catskills, Berkshires, and Litchfield
