Flood watches continue in the Catskills

Across the Catskills, flood watches are still in effect Tuesday, after almost a week's worth of sporadic rainstorms that have caused much anxiety but little damage in the region. 

A flash flood watch issued by the National Weather Service in Binghamton remains in effect through Tuesday evening, covering Delaware and Sullivan counties along with a large portion of Central New York. In a briefing issued this morning, NWS Binghamton meteorologist David Nicosia said that the Susquehanna River Basin was hardest-hit by overnight rainstorms, and would have the greatest potential for flash flooding today in NWS Binghamton's region.

Delaware County also has a flooding advisory in effect until 11:15 am for streams in the northwest part of the county, northwest of Delhi and Walton, because of a cluster of heavy storms that are moving through.

The eastern Catskills -- Greene, Schoharie and Ulster counties -- are included in a flash flood watch issued by NWS Albany that covers much of eastern New York and western New England. NWS Albany's flash flood watch is also in effect through Tuesday evening.
