Flash Flood — Steuben, NY

Jan 25, 2010

A slow moving cold front moved northeastward toward northern Pennsylvania, and through the region on the 25th. A surge of deep moisture associated with this system produced a period of heavy rain from late on the 24th, through the morning hours on the 25th. In addition, mild temperatures combined with the rain to melt an existing snow-pack to cause isolated areas of flash flooding.
