A cold front will slowly move across the region today with periods of rain as low pressure rides north along the front. It will remain mild with gusty winds and some locally heavy downpours also possible. Cooler and breezy weather will return for midweek behind the frontal system.
- A Flood Watch is in effect for all areas in the region except the immediate Hudson Valley through Wednesday morning. The combination of rainfall amounts of three quarters of an inch to an inch and a half coupled with runoff from snow melt contributing an additional one to three inches of water may produce flooding of small streams as well as flooding along a few of the main stem rivers.
