Flash Flood Watch issued November 8 at 3:35PM EST expiring November 10 at 6:00AM EST

The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for portions of southeast New York, Bronx, Kings (Brooklyn), NewYork (Manhattan), Northern Nassau, Northern Queens, Northern Westchester, Orange, Putnam, Richmond (Staten Island),
Rockland, Southern Nassau, Southern Queens, and Southern Westchester.

* From Friday evening through late Friday night

* Low pressure will approach the tri-state area on Friday and pass
through during Friday night. This will bring a period of
moderate to heavy rain to much of the area.

* Rainfall is expected to begin Friday afternoon into early evening and become moderate to heavy during the evening. The rain then becomes lighter and tapers off during the overnight hours. The heaviest rainfall is expected to occur in the evening. Rainfall amounts will generally average between 1 and 2 inches, however locally higher amounts will be possible. The combination of heavy rainfall and leaf clogged drainages will pose a threat for flash flooding across the watch area. In addition, quick water level rises are possible across small
rivers, streams, and creeks, with flooding of adjacent areas.

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should flash flood warnings be issued. ... See MoreSee Less
