As more thunderstorms are expected to hit the Capital Region, a flood watch will be in effect late Saturday night through late Sunday night for much of the area, according to the National Weather Service.
The flood watch, issued when conditions are favorable for flooding, goes into effect 2 a.m. Sunday through 2 a.m. Monday for much of the Capital Region, southern Adirondacks and Hudson Valley. Further rainfall could lead to runoff, resulting in flooding, according to the National Weather Service.
Thunderstorms are expected to hit the Albany area late Saturday night. They follow storms Thursday night and flooding last weekend. Meteorologist Abigayle Gant previously told the Times Union the soaked ground could lead to more flooding.
“The ground is definitely saturated at this point,” Gant said. “We really haven’t had a lot of dry days since then.”
The expected weather moved up some weekend events, including MVP’s Kids Day at West Capitol Park in Albany. The event was moved up an hour and will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to a release.
