MID-HUDSON – The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch ahead of heavy, drenching rain that is expected to arrive Tuesday afternoon through early Wednesday morning. Two to four inches of rain are expected throughout the region.
The NWS says the rain combined with melting snow will affect Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, and Ulster Counties from Tuesday through Wednesday afternoon.
“Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall and snow melt may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations,” according to the NWS.
