Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,

A storm system will bring rainfall to the region late Wednesday night
through Thursday night.  The heaviest rainfall will occur Thursday evening
into Thursday night. Storm total rainfall amounts will be 1 to 3 inches,
with the heaviest totals across the Adirondacks and in southern Vermont.
The rainfall will result in rises on area waterways, with river flooding a
possibility. The greatest threat for river flooding will be for areas north
of Interstate 90.  Some minor flooding of urban and poor drainage areas is
also possible. Due to high rainfall rates, there is marginal to slight risk
for flash flooding, especially within urban areas.    A Flood Watch will
likely be needed.

In addition, winds will become gusty for late Thursday night and into the
day on Friday behind the departing storm system.  Winds may gusts over 35
mph, which may result in some downed tree limbs.
