New York, Eastern Dutchess

Flash Flood Warning

Statement as of 7:07 PM EDT on May 23, 2013

Expires 1:15 AM EDT on May 24, 2013


The National Weather Service in Albany has extended the

* Flash Flood Warning for...
southern Dutchess County in east central New York...
this includes the cities of... Pawling... Beacon...
Litchfield County in northern Connecticut...
this includes the cities of... Torrington... New Milford...

* until 115 am EDT Friday

* at 700 PM EDT... National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated
flash flooding from thunderstorms over the warned area. More
showers and thunderstorms will train across the warned
area overnight. Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches can
be expected which will be enough to produce flash flooding.

* Locations in the warning include but are not limited to Winsted...
Sharon... Norfolk... New Hartford... Litchfield... Kent... Falls
Village... Cornwall Bridge... Canaan... Millerton... Millbrook... Dover
Plains and Amenia

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams... highways and underpasses. Additionally... country
roads and farmlands along the banks of creeks... streams and other low
lying areas are subject to flooding.

Most flood deaths occur in automobiles. Never drive your vehicle into
areas where the water covers the roadway. Flood waters are usually
deeper than they appear. Just one foot of flowing water is powerful
enough to sweep vehicles off the Road. When encountering flooded
roads make the smart choice... turn around... dont drown.

Please report flooding to the National Weather Service by email at
alb.Stormreport@noaa.Gov... on facebook at
www.Facebook.Com/US.Nationalweatherservice.Albany.Gov or twitter
@nwsalbany.
