...FLOOD WATCHES REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF SOUTHEAST NEW YORK
AND THE SOUTHERN 4 COUNTIES IN VERMONT...

HEAVY RAINS AND TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S OVERNIGHT HAVE PRODUCED
SIGNIFICANT RUNOFF INTO STREAMS AND RIVERS IN EASTERN NEW YORK AND
VERMONT. THIS RUNOFF HAS DIMINISHED FROM THE ADIRONDACKS TO THE
SUSQUEHANNA REGION WITH THE CAHNE OVER TO SNOW...BUT CONTINUES
TO INCREASE FURTHER EAST.

 THE HEAVIEST RAIN HAS FALLEN IN THE HUDSON VALLEY AND SOUTHERN
VERMONT... WHERE FLOOD WARNINGS HAVE BEEN UISSUED FOR SPECIFIC
COUNTIES.

  MEANWHILE RAIN CHANGED TO SNOW FROM THE ADIRONDACKS TO THE
SUSQUEHANNA REGION AND THE SNOW WAS COMMING DOWN HARD IN THE
CATSKILLS. SNOW WAS ALREADY FALLING IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS
AROUND THE CAPTIAL DISTRICT. RAIN WILL SLOWLY CHANGE TO SNOW IN THE
REST OF EASTERN NEW YORK AND IN VERMONT LATER TODAY.

 RIVERS WILL CONTINUE TO RISE FOR SEVERAL HOURS FROM PREVIOUS RUNOFF
AFTER THE CHANGEOVER TO SNOW...BEFORE THINGS START FREEZING UP THIS
AFTERNOON...SLOWING OR ENDING RUNOFF.

 THE CHANGE OVER TO SNOW WIL OCCUR FIRST AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS
THEN GRADUALLY WORK ITS WAY DOWN TO THE VALLEYS. BEFORE THE
SNOW TAPERS OFF TO FLURRIES 2 TO 4 INCHES IS LIKELY FROM THE
ADIRONDACKS TO THE SUSQUEHANNA REGION WITH UP THE 5 INCHES
IN THE CATSKILLS. THERE MAY EVEN BE AND INCH OR TWO IN THE
CAPITAL DISTRICT.

  A VERY INTENSE STORM IN QUEBEC MOVING NORTHEAST AND A DEVELOPING

MOST OF EASTERN NEW YORK AND VERMONT.
