to be possible.
* WHERE...The southwest Adirondacks, the western Mohawk Valley, and
the Upper Hudson Valley.
* WHEN...Through Thursday afternoon.

creeks, streams, brooks and other low-lying and flood-prone
locations. Creeks, brooks and streams may rise out of their banks.
Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Mild temperatures into tonight will allow snow on the ground
to continue to ripen and melt. There will also be moderate to
locally heavy rain late this afternoon into tonight. The
combination of runoff from snow melt and rainfall will result
in rising rivers that will likely cause ice to break up and
move, potentially resulting in ice jams and associated
flooding. For more information on river forecasts, please
