Flood Watch now through 7 a.m. Saturday for Erie and Chautauqua Counties. Rain and melting snow could cause flooding. Ice jam flooding is possible as well.
From the NWS Buffalo Office: Impacts...Excessive runoff may result in minor flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. There is a limited risk of ice jams as well on the Buffalo area creeks and other creeks across the western southern tier, with a chance of minor flooding associated with ice jams
Dense fog will be possible overnight into early Thursday. Another round of rain moves in during Thursday, combined with milder temperatures and snowmelt flooding will become an issue into the weekend.
