3,560 first-hand accounts of flood events in New York, ranked by impact. Each is a NOAA-written narrative of the moment.
A stalled warm front was the focus for heavy showers and embedded thunderstorms which trained across the western Southern tier. Rainfall amounts of one to three inches in just a few hours resulted in flash flooding across the region. Roads and culverts were washed out.

Read the full account →Snowmelt from a late season snowpack combined with heavy rain produced widespread flooding across northern New York. Four to six inches of water was released from the snowpack over April 10 to 15 when daytime highs reached the 60s and 70s, and overnight lows remained well above…

Read the full account →A harsh winter built a much above normal snow pack in the Black River basin and this snow pack contributed significantly to flooding in that region. At the beginning of the month, snow water equivalent averaged about twice the normal value on the Tug Hill.
Read the full account →A slow moving frontal boundary and area of low pressure moved across the region and brought several rounds of rain totaling over an inch. The rainfall, mild temperatures, and moist dew points melted virtually all of the snowpack from the previous snows across the Southern Tier.
