NEW YORK (WABC) -- Much of New Jersey and the Catskills are drying out Wednesday morning after heavy rain soaked the region, but flooding concerns remain for parts of the Tri-State area. Flooding downpours are expected to continue through sunrise across Long Island, the Hudson Valley and Connecticut, where an AccuWeather Alert remains in effect and a Flood Watch continues.

The steady rain will gradually taper to scattered showers this afternoon, with a few breaks of sunshine possible and highs reaching the upper 70s.

Looking ahead, a few showers are possible Thursday, while Friday brings more sunshine and only the chance of a stray thunderstorm.
