Additional Details: - Periods of moderate to heavy rain and thunderstorms capable of heavy downpours arrive this afternoon from west to east and continue tonight with rainfall rates reaching or exceeding 1 to 2 inches per hour at times. Despite recent dry conditions, such high rainfall rates in a short period of time can result in flash flooding, especially in urban and poor drainage areas and where heavy rain repeatedly impacts a given area.

Three day rainfall totals likely range from 1 to 3 inches with isolated amounts of 3 to 7 inches across portions of the eastern Catskills, Litchfield County and central and southern Taconics due to upslope enhancements. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
