WHAT: Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.
-
WHERE: The Greater Capital Region, the Lake George Saratoga region and Rensselaer Plateau of eastern New York.
-
WHEN: Through this evening.
-
IMPACTS: Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
-
ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
- Periods of moderate to heavy rain and a few thunderstorms continue overnight into Wednesday afternoon. Rainfall rates may reach as high as 1 to 2 inches per hour within the heaviest and most persistent downpours.
Despite recent dry conditions, such high rainfall rates in a short period of time can result in flash flooding, especially in urban and poor drainage areas and where heavy rain repeatedly impacts a given area. An additional 1 to 2 inches of rain is expected for most areas in the flood watch, with locally higher amounts possible.
