Locally heavy rainfall, expected to develop across the area tonight into Monday, could provide at least some relief from the “abnormally dry” conditions across western portions of New York State, including Allegany County.
Between an inch and an inch-and-a-half of rain, with up to two inches in a portion of northeastern Allegany, combined with thunderstorms at times, are expected throughout the area, which could produce some isolated flooding in low lying and poor drainage areas, according to the US National Weather Service Buffalo NY.
Projected rainfall graphics from the NWS Buffalo office are shown in the upper left and from the US National Weather Service Binghamton NY in the upper right, with the bottom chart being from the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
