The National Weather Service has issued a “Flash Flood Watch” beginning tonight and continuing until Friday afternoon for Southern Connecticut. The state, which is badly in need of rain, is expected to receive between 2-4 inches of rain before it stops Friday evening. Thunderstorms are also possible too, the weather service states.

Showers and thunderstorms will be moving into the region from the west early this evening and will overspread the region by late tonight.
