A slow moving storm from the Ohio Valley brought 2 to 3 inches of rain on April 2nd and 3rd. Before this storm, river levels were elevated due to a previous storm March 28th and snowmelt. By the time the river fell below flood stage most of the snow had melted. The Susquehanna River at Unadilla rose to its 11 foot flood stage late on the 2nd, crested at 13.68 feet at 10:15 PM EST on April 3rd, then fell back below flood stage on the 5th. This was the 7th highest flood crest at Unadilla.
