  Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur 
  in poor drainage and urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - A low pressure system will bring 1.5 to 3 inches of rainfall
    to the region late tonight into Saturday morning. This
    rainfall will fall on already saturated soils from heavy
    rainfall from the past weekend into early this week.  Some
    isolated flash flooding can not be ruled out.  Minor flooding
    of main stem rivers, creeks and small streams may occur.
    Some rivers that could reach the minor flood stage include
    the Esopus, Schoharie, Hoosic, Walloomsac, Housatonic, and
    the Hudson River at Troy and Waterford.
