    Impacts
    Some flooding expected in upper Mohawk/ Tug Hill Plateau areas.
    Poor drainage, low-lying areas, small streams and smaller rivers have the highest flood potential. Current indications are that most areas see just minor flooding. Moderate flooding possible West Canada Creek Persons in flood prone areas in the Upper Mohawk/Tug Hill region should continue to monitor the latest forecasts and be prepared to take action in case more rain falls than is currently expected.

    Winds could be strong enough mainly in the Catskills and Poconos to knock down trees and power lines in scattered localities leading to sporadic power outages. Rapidly falling temperatures and a changeover to snow could make for icy road surfaces leading to hazardous travel late afternoon and early evening.
