A flood watch has been issued for parts of Central New York on Saturday afternoon.
The flood watch was announced around 1:30 p.m. and is expected to last until late Monday and possibly into Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.
Madison, Oneida and Cortland counties can expect possible flooding after heavy rainfall.
The heaviest rain is expected Sunday night into Monday, according to the weather service.
Flooding is possible in rivers and other low-lying and flood-prone locations due to excessive runoff.
