A slow moving frontal system produced widespread heavy rainfall and flooding across eastern New York from April 7-8, 2022. Rainfall amounts between 1.50 and 3.00 inches were common, though a few localized areas received upwards of 4.50 inches. Periods of light to moderate rainfall began during the daytime hours on April 7 with the steadiest and heaviest rainfall arriving during the evening hours on April 7 into the overnight hours on April 8 before ending.
This heavy rainfall led to over a dozen rivers to exceed minor flood stage with a few rivers reaching moderate flood stage. For some, it took days after the event for waters to recede.
In addition to the heavy rainfall and widespread flooding, strong winds developed across portions of the Taconics with peak gusts in the 35-50 mph range.
The combination of rain and wind led to only sporadic power outages. As a result of the heavy rain and flooding, a Travel Advisory was issued for Montgomery County during the overnight hours of April 7.
