Governor Andrew M. <\/span>Cuomo today announced the strategic deployment of assets throughout the state <\/span>as heavy rain and flash flooding are forecast for areas of the Southern Tier, Central <\/span>New<\/span> <\/span>York, Mohawk Valley, Capital Region and Mid-Hudson Valley. Remnants of Tropical Depression Florence will overspread the state today and will continue through Tuesday<\/span><\/span>, with the heaviest rain from Monday<\/span><\/span> night through Tuesday<\/span><\/span>. One to three inches of rain are possible locally, especially in urban areas, and near creeks and small streams, and at headwater points on rivers. Flash Flood Watches will be in effect from this evening through Tuesday<\/span><\/span> for portions of the Finger Lakes, Southern Tier, <\/span>Central<\/span>New<\/span> York, <\/span>Mohawk Valley, Capital Region and Mid-Hudson Valley.<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of New York’s ongoing support to states impacted by Hurricane Florence, the New York National Guard continues to support missions to states hardest hit. Today, two CH-47s Chinook helicopters, along with eight soldiers, departed from Rochester <\/span>Army Aviation Support Facility bound for Joint National Guard Base <\/span>McEntire<\/span> in Columbia, South Carolina. The CH-47 is a large double rotor helicopter which can carry up to 9.5 tons of cargo or up to 30 people.<\/span><\/p>\n

“As remnants of Hurricane Florence move into the state today and into tomorrow<\/span><\/span>, heavy rain and the potential for flash flooding are expected, especially in areas impacted by flooding from storms last month,” <\/span>Governor Cuomo said.<\/span> <\/span>“State assets stand ready to assist as needed, but I urge all New Yorkers to remain vigilant, monitor local forecasts, and plan accordingly to help ensure you and your families are safe ahead of the storm.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Tropical moisture resulting from Florence will bring widespread rainfall to the state late Monday<\/span><\/span> through Tuesday<\/span><\/span>. Areas south of the Adirondacks, especially in Central New York, the Southern Tier, Capital Region, and Mid-Hudson Valley, will receive 1 to 3 inches of rain, which may fall heavy at times. This rainfall is expected to produce localized ponding of water and standing water on roadways, with some minor flooding of urban and poor drainage areas possible. Due to the expected high rainfall rates, there is a slight risk for flash flooding. <\/span><\/p>\n

The heaviest rainfall rates will range from a half-inch to an inch per hour Monday <\/span><\/span>night and Tuesday<\/span><\/span> morning. Flash Flood Watches will be in effect from this evening through Tuesday<\/span><\/span> for portions the Southern Tier, Central New York, <\/span>Mohawk Valley, Capital Region and Mid-Hudson Valley. <\/span>Residents in areas prone to flooding should stay tuned to local media outlets for the latest weather forecast.  For a complete listing of weather watches and warnings as they are issued, visit the National Weather Service <\/span>website<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
