BENEATH A STRENGTHENING PIECE OF THE JET STREAM…BRINGING THE

CENTRAL NEW YORK AND NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA TONIGHT. IF THE
EXPECTED RAINFALL DEVELOPS…FLASH FLOODING COULD DEVELOP BY

RAINFALL FORECASTS SUGGEST STORM TOTALS THROUGH THURSDAY WILL
RANGE FROM 2 TO 3 INCHES ACROSS THE UPPER DELAWARE BASIN…TO 6
OR MORE INCHES ACROSS THE UPPER SUSQUEHANNA…CHEMUNG AND FINGER
LAKES BASINS. THAT RAIN COULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT RIVER FLOODING

CHANCE TO REACH MINOR TO MODERATE FLOOD STAGE ON THURSDAY. IF
ALL…OR MORE OF THE CURRENTLY FORECAST RAIN FALLS…THERE WOULD
BE A POTENTIAL FOR DANGEROUS MODERATE TO MAJOR FLOODING ON SOME
RIVERS BY THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.

THERE IS STILL CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY WITH THE TRACK AND FORECAST
AMOUNTS OF RAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM. A SMALL SHIFT IN THE STORM TRACK WILL
MEAN SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO RAINFALL AND RIVER CREST FORECASTS.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…

A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING ON SMALL
STREAMS…CREEKS…POOR DRAINAGE…URBAN AND LOW-LYING AREAS AND
MAJOR RIVER SYSTEMS BASED ON CURRENT FORECASTS. YOU SHOULD
MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE ALERT FOR POSSIBLE FLOOD WARNINGS.
THOSE LIVING…WORKING OR DRIVING IN AREAS PRONE TO FLOODING
