Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,

A storm system will bring rainfall to the region late tonight 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, eastern Catskills and 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 risk for flash flooding, especially within urban areas. A Flood
Watch may be needed.

In addition, winds will become gusty 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.
