EXTRATROPICAL. HOWEVER IT HAS DROPPED ITS LOAD ON OUR FA (AS WELL
MANY OTHERS). RAFL AMNTS RANGED FM 3 TO 11 INCHES WITH CAIRO IN
GREENE COUNTY COMING IN WITH THE WET HONORS. THE 5.60 INCH THAT FELL
ON SEP 16 AT THE ALB INTL ARPT MAY VRY WELL BE THE ALL TIME RECORD
FOR ALY WE WL CONFIRM THAT LTR.

EITHER WAY DROUGHT OF 99 IS ALL BUT OVR NOW WE HV SOME OF THE
GREATEST FLDG WE HV HD IN QUITE SOME TIME. THE HOOSIC RVR AND
TRIBUTARIES AFFECTED BY 10 INCHES OF RAFL ARE AFFECTED THE MOST. FLD
WATCHES WB REPLACED BY FLD WARNINGS IN THIS PCKAGE. MOISTURE HAS
ACTUALLY HALTED ITS NEWD PROGRESSION...AS WSR-88D HAS FILLED BCK IN.
THIS IS A BIT REMINICENT OF WHAT HAPPENING DRG AGNES BUT HOPEFULLY
NOT TO ANYWHERE NEAR THAT EXTREME. H20 LP SHOWS DRY AIR INJECTG BACK
INTO SYSTEM WHICH SHOULD AT LST CUT RAINFALL AMNTS DWN. BUT DAMAGE
DONE SO FFWS STL NEEDED.

MOHAWK EFFECT WL ENHANCE THE NWRLY FLW IN THE CD. HIER TRRN SURROUNDG
CD AND PTS E WL ALSO BE UNDER THE GUN AS WELL AS ALL AREAS NE. ONLY
PLC I WL OMIT HIGH WIND WARNING WB IN THE MID HUDSON VLY AS CATSKILLS
SHOULD HELP EFFECTIVELY DIMINISH WND EFFECT THERE. ALSO WE HV 2
CONSIDER THAT LEAFED TREES HV BEEN WEAKEN BY WET GROUND. THIS WB A
MARGINAL EVENT AT BEST BUT WE FEEL ITS BEST 2 REISSUE.

DVM AND DRYG. GRAD RELAXES. IN FACT...DECOUPLG MAY TAKE PLC N AND W
