Flood watch issued as some could see rain on Saturday

An area of tropical moisture (and humidity) is slowly moving northward and is expected to bring rain to Connecticut overnight into Saturday.

A flood watch has been issued for parts of the state for the potential of localized heavy rain into the first half of Saturday. Embedded thunderstorms are also possible with the heavy rain.

There is the potential to see a couple of inches of rain in localized areas through Saturday morning, but the heavy showers look mostly scattered. Some improvement is expected by Saturday afternoon.

Along with the tropical downpours, high humidity is expected to return. Dew point temperatures are expected to climb well into the uncomfortable 70s by Saturday morning.
