Anomalously high moisture content and periods of heavy rain may lead to flooding including those within urban and poor drainage areas. Additionally, there is potential for river flooding due to the combination of snowmelt and heavy rainfall. The heaviest rainfall is expected across the southern Adirondacks, Mohawk Valley and Lake George Saratoga regions. Stay tuned for further updates from your National Weather Service. In addition, a brief period of a wintry mix, including freezing rain, sleet and snow is possible early Sunday morning, mainly north of I-90. See attached forecast rainfall amounts graphic.
