Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,

Confidence on a large storm system impacting eastern NY and western New
England with heavy rain and embedded thunderstorms Friday into Saturday
continues to grow. Due to increasing confidence in flooding, the Weather
Prediction Center's Excessive Rainfall Outlook continues to highlight the
entire region with a Slight Risk category (see attachment). This means both
flash flooding and poor drainage flooding are a concern. Also attached is
the Significant River Flood Outlook from the River Forecast Center. This
product highlights the areas where rivers could reach moderate or greater
flood stage from April 17 - 22, 2019.

Stay tuned for further updates from your National Weather Service.
