Hunter news flash Sun Mar 28

Hi All
Hunter will be closed Monday and Tuesday March 29 & 30 due to the expected heavy rain (4 - 5 " possible) and re-open Wed Mar 31. There is a mix of rain & sleet falling now with moderate winds. Here we go again.....................

Weather warning out of Albany:

Weather Advisories: A FLOOD WATCH is in effect for the eastern Catskills, mid Hudson valley and Bennington, Berkshire and Litchfield counties from Monday morning through Tuesday afternoon.
.
An area of low pressure moving in from the Ohio valley will cause rain to overspread the region during the evening and overnight Sunday. Rain may become heavy at times into Monday morning. The rain may taper off a bit Monday afternoon and evening, but a new area of low pressure will then be forming along the mid-Atlantic coast. This low pressure will move northeast and looks to bring a second round of rain to the region from Monday night through Tuesday.
.
Both storms will bring plenty of moisture into the region and a widespread 1"-2" rainfall is possible. Localized amounts of 3" or more are also possible, mainly within the watch area of the eastern Catskills, mid Hudson valley and Berkshire and Litchfield counties. If you live near a flood prone area, now is the time to prepare for the potential of flooding. Many rivers and streams in the watch area are already running high due to previous rainfall and snowmelt.
.
Now is the time to take precautions to prevent flooding.


Ski ya,
Jon
