Local weather forecast
Today's forecast is specific to Catskill, in Greene County:
The National Weather Service in Albany has issued a Flash Flood Watch for northwestern Connecticut, western Massachusetts, east central New York and southern Vermont through Friday afternoon. A cold front will slowly move from west to east across the watch area Friday afternoon. Ahead of this front a warm and very humid air mass remains in place across the region. Showers and thunderstorms, some with very heavy rain, are expected to become numerous across eastern New York and western New England. Rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches will be common with some areas seeing amounts up to 5 inches, which would be enough to produce flash flooding. The showers and thunderstorms are expected to end as the front moves east of the area late Friday afternoon or early Friday night.
Today: Showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms could produce heavy rain. High near 79. Friday night, a chance of showers and thunderstorms before 11 p.m., then a slight chance of showers between 11 p.m. and midnight. Mostly cloudy. Low around 62.

That includes not only monitoring those who talk to suspicious persons abroad, but also those who talk about them. In Washington, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein reports."
