Areal Flood Watch
Statement as of 4:11 am EDT on July 24, 2008


... Flood Watch remains in effect through Friday morning...

The Flood Watch continues for

* all of eastern New York and adjacent western New England. This
includes the capital district... Mohawk Valley... Hudson
Valley... Catskills... Adirondacks... southern Green
Mountains... Berkshires and northwest Connecticut.

* Through Friday morning

* a nearly stationary frontal boundary oriented south to north
will gradually begin to drift east later today into tonight. An
abundance of moisture will continue advancing northward along
this frontal boundary. Periods of heavy rain will continue
through much of today... with the most persistent rainfall
expected from the Hudson River valley eastward.

* From the Hudson River valley eastward into western New
England... additional rainfall amounts by Friday morning are
expected to range between 1 to 3 inches... along with locally
higher amounts... especially where embedded thunderstorms
persist. This amount of rainfall will cause significant rises on
area streams and rivers... and may lead to some flooding. For
areas further to the northwest... including the western Mohawk
Valley and western Adirondacks... additional rainfall amounts
are expected to be less... generally up to one inch. This may
still produce localized flooding... especially in low
lying... poor drainage areas... and in areas adjacent to small
streams and creeks.

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop. Stay tuned for
further updates from your National Weather Service on this
developing situation.
