Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,

A *Flash Flood Watch* has been* extended* to include the mid-Hudson Valley,
central and southern Taconic's, Berkshires including Litchfield County
Thursday morning into Thursday evening.  Heavy rainfall combined with some
snowmelt and runoff due to frozen ground could result in urban/poor
drainage flooding, minor river flooding, and isolated flash flooding.

*Winter Weather Advisories* *remain* in effect through this evening for
most of eastern NY and western New England excluding the mid Hudson Valley
and Litchfield County primarily for light freezing rain.  Freezing rain is
possible even with air temperatures above freezing due to cold surfaces and
the dense snow pack.  The freezing rain will transition to plain rain from
south to north this evening into tonight.

Please see attached briefing for further details.
