...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM 2 AM EDT TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY
AFTERNOON...

The National Weather Service in Buffalo has issued a

* Flood Watch for Jefferson, Lewis, Oswego, Wayne, and Northern
  Cayuga Counties.

* From 2 AM EDT Tuesday through Saturday afternoon.

* A storm system tonight and Tuesday will bring 1 to 1.5 inches of
  rain to the area, with a additional 1 to 2 inches possible from
  another system on Thursday into Friday. In addition, warm
  temperatures during this period will melt snow pack which
  lingers across the Tug Hill and Adirondacks.

* Each system poses a threat for flooding. The first system will
  cause rises in the Black River basin, resulting in potential for
  flooding as a result of the run-off. Also, the Seneca River
  which flows into Cross lake is currently running high, and this
  system should result in steady or potentially additional rises 
  in the waterway.

* Rainfall amounts are a bit more uncertain with the second
  system, but there will be very little time for slower responding
  waterways to fall before this next round of rain arrives. This
  will likely result in a second crest on the Black River, as well
  as the Seneca and Oswego Rivers and adjacent lakes.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts. 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. Stay tuned to weather radio or other radio and tv
stations for further details or updates

  the rain has ended, runoff will continue today and result in
