TROPICAL STORM HENRI UPDATE for DUTCHESS COUNTY
The National Weather Service is expected to issue a Flash Flood Watch for Dutchess County this evening in anticipation of Tropical Storm rainfall associated with Tropical Storm Henri.
Tropical Storm associated rainfall is expected to impact Dutchess County tomorrow morning (Sunday) at approximately 8am and continue through 8pm.
Rainfall expectations are anywhere from 2-5 inches to 4-6 inches. Due to ground saturation, localized flooding is expected. Due to possible downstream storm surge, and full moon tidal conditions, Hudson River flooding is possible.
Tropical Storm associated winds are expected after the rainfall, with 20-40 mph wind gusts possible.
Dutchess County Emergency Management is actively monitoring this forecast and will continue to provide information, as it is received.
REMEMBER - NEVER drive a vehicle across a flooded roadway and NEVER approach a downed power line.
