...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by rain, snowmelt, and ice jams continues
to be possible.

* WHERE...The southwest Adirondacks, the western Mohawk Valley, and
the Upper Hudson Valley.

* WHEN...Through this afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur
in poor drainage and urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Mild temperatures over the past few days has allowed snow on
the ground to ripen and melt. In addition, there have been
periods of moderate to heavy rain. The combination of runoff
from snow melt and rainfall will continue to result in rising
rivers that will likely cause ice to break up and move,
potentially resulting in ice jams and associated flooding.
