A low pressure system developed over the lower Mississippi Valley on Wednesday, November 15th, and then tracked northeast into the Ohio Valley by Thursday morning on the 16th, while strengthening. The low then moved into eastern Canada by Friday morning, November 17th.
This storm system produced heavy rainfall across much of east central New York State Thursday afternoon and night, with rainfall amounts ranging from 2 to 4 inches across the Upper Mohawk River Valley, with 1 to 3 inches elsewhere. This heavy rainfall, combined with runoff, and antecedent saturated soil conditions, led to river and flash flooding across portions of New York from late Thursday November 16th, well into Saturday, November 18th.
