– Multiple rounds of showers and storms will continue to move over
the area through Wednesday. Rainfall rates could exceed 1-2

Even though this area has been somewhat dry recently, multiple

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.
