Binghamton, New York – Flooding concerns are mounting across central and eastern New York, with a flood warning now in effect for the Susquehanna River at Conklin until Thursday afternoon. The National Weather Service is urging residents to be cautious, as the river’s water levels could cause minor flooding. The warning is part of a broader set of alerts, including an area flood warning for eastern Cayuga and western Onondaga counties, where flooding is reported near the town of Jordan.
According to the National Weather Service, scattered rain showers will continue to move eastward across the Finger Lakes region this morning, exacerbating the potential for rising water levels. Areas in these regions are particularly susceptible, as soils are already saturated from recent rainfall. Local authorities are advising drivers to avoid flooded roads, with instructions to find an alternate route if encountering water-covered roads.
A moderate rainfall event is expected to continue through Thursday afternoon, potentially leading to more flooding in vulnerable areas. An additional flood risk is noted for Delaware County to the southwest, with concerns of flash flooding increasing into Friday.
Travelers and residents are urged to stay updated on conditions and remain cautious as additional advisories may be issued in the coming days.
