The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch in effect from 8 PM EDT this evening through Thursday afternoon.
The Watch includes portions of New York and northeast Pennsylvania, including the following counties:
New York:
… Broome… Chemung… Chenango… Cortland… Delaware… Madison… northern Oneida… Onondaga… Otsego… Schuyler… Seneca… southern Cayuga… southern Oneida… Steuben… Sullivan… Tioga… Tompkins and Yates.
In northeast Pennsylvania… Bradford… Lackawanna… Luzerne… northern Wayne… Pike… southern Wayne… Susquehanna and Wyoming.
A warm moist and unstable airmass coupled with the passage of a cold front on Thursday morning will set the stage for numerous showers and thunderstorms starting this evening and continuing through Thursday morning.
Recent heavy rainfall has left the ground nearly saturated and it will only take one half inch of rain in a one hour period to cause flash flooding.
