Flood Watch issued March 16 at 3:32AM EDT until March 17 at 8:00PM EDT by NWS Binghamton NY

Heavy rain may fall on a deep primed snowpack leading to the melt
increasing. Flows in rivers may increase quickly and reach critical
levels.

* WHAT…Flooding caused by rain and snowmelt continues to be
possible.

* WHERE…A portion of central New York, including the following
area, Oneida County.

* WHEN…From 8 AM EDT this morning through Monday evening.

* IMPACTS…Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Highest concern is
for creeks and streams that drain out from the Tug Hill region due
to significant snowmelt.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…
– Up to an inch of rain is possible today into this evening.
However, significant snowmelt will be an even bigger factor,
as warm weather releases a lot of water from the heavy
snowpack across the Tug Hill region. Combined snowmelt and
rain, as well as lingering ice in some streams, will pose a
significant risk for impactful flooding. The highest concern
are the branches of Fish Creek, especially from the
confluence downstream into Oneida Lake including Sylvan
Beach. Tributaries of the Mohawk River upstream of Delta
Lake, are also of higher concern.
