Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,

A Flood Watch remains in effect for the Mohawk Valley and Adirondacks but is now in effect from 6 PM Saturday to 6 PM Sunday. Heavy rainfall combined with some snow melt may lead to minor flooding.

A strong storm system is expected to produce widespread moderate to locally heavy rainfall across portions of the region late Saturday into Sunday. This rain may lead to flooding within urban and poor drainage areas as well as some main stem rivers and smaller rivers and streams. Additionally, there is a small potential for minor river flooding in the Upper Hudson Valley and southern Vermont due to the combination of snowmelt and heavy rainfall. If confidence increases for potential widespread flooding, a Flood Watch may be needed in those areas. Some gusty winds to 40 to 45 mph are also possible Saturday night into Sunday morning, especially over the higher terrain.

Please see attached PDF briefing for details.
