* WHERE...Portions of central New York, including the following
areas, Delaware and Sullivan and northeast Pennsylvania, including
the following areas, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Northern Wayne, Pike and
Southern Wayne.

* WHEN...From 11 AM EDT this morning through Wednesday 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. Flooding may occur
in poor drainage and urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Multiple rounds of showers and storms are expected to move over
the area starting this morning through Wednesday. Rainfall rates
could exceed 1-2 inches per hour with the heaviest downpours.

Even though this area has been somewhat dry recently, multiple
rounds of heavy downpours could cause urban flash flooding and/or
small streams and creeks to flow out of their banks. Two day
rainfall totals are expected to be in the 2-3 inch range, with
3-6 inches possible in portions of the Catskills if upslope
enhancement matches up with storms producing heavy downpours.
