Test post from Town of Norfolk, CT Emergency Management. Disregard and stay dry! ... See MoreSee Less

We havent had to share many weather warnings this summer besides the heavy rain and flooding back in July however, this one issued earlier today is worth noting.  The NWS have issued flood watches for Litchfield County and surrounding areas in CT and NY starting at 2 a.m. on Friday morning and continuing through 8 a.m. on Saturday.  Rain showers are expected to become heavy after midnight tonight in Western CT and we can expect to see another 4-7 of rain by the time everything is over.  With our overabundance of rain this summer, we could see more flooded basements and local streams reaching their limit tomorrow and Saturday.  As always, we will be keeping an eye on our known trouble spots and if you have an emergency, dont hesitate to call 911.
