...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON...
* WHAT...Flooding caused by significant snowmelt and a general half
inch of rainfall.
* WHERE...Western and north central New York, including the
following counties, in central New York, Jefferson, Lewis,
Northern Cayuga and Oswego. In western New York, Allegany,
Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Niagara,
Northern Erie, Ontario, Orleans, Southern Erie, Wayne and Wyoming.
* WHEN...Through Thursday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff from significant snowmelt and a general
half inch of rain may result in flooding of rivers, smaller
tributaries, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. The
most prone areas for flooding will be where ice jams typically
develop. The greatest risk for ice jam flooding will be into this
evening with the risk for river based flooding later tonight into
Thursday.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- An intense storm system moving across Lower Michigan will
send a surge of Spring like warmth to our region through
tonight. Widespread temperatures will be above freezing into
Thursday. These temperatures will be accompanied by a general
half inch of rainfall. The fast melt off of the snowpack will
combine with this rainfall to cause significant rises to area
tributaries with flooding becoming possible. Flooding
concerns will be particularly elevated in areas where
tributaries are prone to ice jam flooding.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
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.
