inches of rain with isolated maxima of 4 inches along and near its
track from eastern New York into portions of New England. This
rain may result in flash flooding and urban flooding in areas with
poor drainage where the heaviest amounts occur. Widespread river
flooding is not expected; however, rapid rises on small streams and
isolated minor flooding is possible.
