NWS Albany - Heavy Rain & Snowmelt May Lead to River Flooding & Urban/Poor Drainage Flooding Early Next Week - UPDATED Friday, April 12, 2019 530 AM
**** The information in this email pertains to the following areas only:**** *- In Connecticut: Litchfield County* *- In Massachusetts: Berkshire County* *- In Vermont: Bennington & Windham Counties* *- In New York: Albany, Columbia, Dutchess, Fulton, Hamilton, Herkimer, Montgomery, Greene, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Ulster, Warren and Washington Counties* Dear Emergency Managers and other partners, We are watching the potential for river flooding early next week from combined snowmelt and a possible significant rainfall event late Sunday through Monday. Rivers most at risk for flooding include the Mohawk, those located across the southern Adirondacks, the upper Hudson and Hoosic basins, and rivers across southern Vermont. Based on current timing, it appears that river crests would be most likely to occur Monday into Tuesday. We will continue to monitor trends until rainfall and snowmelt forecast amounts become more clear. In addition, locally heavy rainfall with possible embedded thunderstorms could lead to flooding of poor drainage and urban areas Sunday night into Monday. This potential includes all of eastern New York and western New England. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us via: 1. Email: alb.stormreport@noaa.gov 2.
