Video: Flash flood watch posted for parts of the state
remnants of IDa continued to lift northward and a flood watch has been posted for southern parts of the state. This flash flood watches starting late this afternoon and will continue through tomorrow morning with the heaviest of the rainfall expected from about nine or 10 o'clock this evening through about sunrise on your thursday morning. And that's when most of the main effects will happen. So for today, clouds will be building low in mid seventies rainfall will start developing later in the day in southern New Hampshire, but then the heaviest will be tonight, but the potential of over 2 to 3 inches of rain in places and again, heaviest will be in southern New Hampshire as the system pulls away tomorrow morning. The dew points continue to fade on a breeze and that will set up comfortable conditions to kick off the holiday weekend clouds will continue to increase in thicken after a few sunny breaks up north this morning there's a look at the remnants of IDa continuing to edge north. Heaviest of this will across New England will be in southern New England where they could potentially see over 5 to 6 inches of rain will be on the northern edge of that shield of rainfall and the heaviest of the rain. So we will get in on some of that activity as we go through late this afternoon tonight and early tomorrow low and mid seventies light breeze out of the northwest today and clouds continuing to increase and thicken and lower as we go through the afternoon with some light rain possible after two or three o'clock this afternoon in southern New Hampshire. But anything we have through the evening commute will be steady but light we get into the evening though and that's when the heavier rainfall starts to move in. And within a few hours of midnight we're talking some periods of very heavy rainfall across southern parts of the state and after all the rain we have seen over the last month and a half. This obviously is the cause of concern with the rivers and streams running high as they are that we could have some flash flooding around overnight tonight and first thing tomorrow morning, back edge will move quickly across the state just after sunrise. Tomorrow we'll be looking for the potential of over 2 to 3 inches of rain with that band and lesser amounts farther north breeze out of the north through the afternoon will continue to dry things out, nothing more than a straight shower up north sixties to lower seventies thursday afternoon and it remains very comfortable with partial sunshine for both friday and saturday and saturday is the nicest of the three days for the holiday weekend. We'll start adding clouds and there will be the risk of a passing shower later on sunday and there might be a passing shower monday as well, temperatures. Both days will be in the seventies to near 80. Another look at the rainfall as it makes its way in and again a lighter version through the afternoon and maybe some light rain for the evening, commute in southern New Hampshire and as that lifts northward, you notice a certain definitive back edge to this up through the White Mountains in the great Northwoods, where some spots will wind up with literally nothing. And unfortunately for the north country, this is the area that could use the rainfall still in a moderate drought in parts of coast county back edge will move across the state early tomorrow morning. So if you do have to travel after diner 10 o'clock tonight through about sunrise tomorrow, it is going to be a very slow go and you're gonna want to use a lot of extra caution. As far as rainfall amounts, 2 to 3 inches is a pretty good expectation from about conquered south. There will be some spot higher amounts, especially across the terrain in southwestern New Hampshire and then the mounts really trail off the farther north you go out of this system before it eventually pulls away low and mid seventies, with some light rain developing later this afternoon. In southern New Hampshire pollen counts are made on the high side, but then get knocked down with this widespread rainfall overnight tonight and tomorrow. So the heaviest of the rain with the flood watch posted is for southern parts of the state during the evening and overnight hours tonight, Gradual clearing and a breeze out of the northwest with highs either side of 70 on your thursday from their comfortable conditions remain for both friday, with partial sunshine and saturday, with mostly sunny skies and a couple of showers possible sunday and monday.

Some lighter showers will start developing during the mid/late afternoon in southern before it really picks up in the evening. Highs will be in the low-to-mid 70s with a light breeze.As the remnants of Ida make their closest pass later tonight, the best chance of heavier rain will be in southern and central NH. Most of the rain looks to fall tonight and into the early morning hours of Thursday.At this point it looks like 1.5 to 3.5 inches of rain could fall in the southern half of NH with lower amounts farther north. Any amount over 3 inches could result in some flooding overnight into early Thursday morning. If those amounts climb even just a bit more, the chance for flooding will increase.It will be clearing and breezy Thursday, with a partly sunny sky Friday. Highs both days will be in the 60s to lower 70s with dew points dropping into the 40s.Saturday looks bright and pleasant ahead of a few scattered showers and t-showers by Sunday.
