Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,

A widespread soaking rainfall is expected Wednesday afternoon into Thursday
along with gusty winds. Total rainfall for this event is expected to be 2 -
3 inches with locally higher amounts possible in the eastern Catskills. The
rainfall may become locally heavy at times which may yield some poor
drainage flooding of low lying areas, and ponding of water on roadways.
Leaves and debris could also clog drains and produce some nuisance
flooding.

Southeast winds could gust to 30 - 35 mph Wednesday evening before turning
out of the northwest and increasing in strength. Wind gusts on Thursday
could exceed 40 mph with some localized wind gusts approaching 50 mph. If
confidence increases for damaging winds, a wind advisory may be needed.

Please see attached forecast graphics for total rainfall as well as maximum
wind gusts for this event.
