As much as 6 inches (15 centimeters) of rain may fall along the North American coast before Andrea veers away from land late on June 9, according to U.S. forecasters. A flash flood warning is in effect for the New York City area until 7:15 p.m. and a warning lasts until 2 p.m. tomorrow. A watch for Boston runs until 10 a.m. tomorrow.
