THE MAJOR RIVER BASINS IN THIS AREA ARE THE HUDSON...THE MOHAWK...AND THE HOUSATONIC. THIS OUTLOOK IS VALID FOR THE TWO-WEEK PERIOD APRIL 18TH TO MAY 2ND 2013. FLOOD POTENTIAL... THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING FOR THE SPRING OF 2013 IS SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL IN THE ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS OF NEW YORK DUE TO LINGERING SNOWPACK AND NEAR TO BELOW NORMAL ELSEWHERE IN THE OUTLOOK AREA. THE FLOOD POTENTIAL FROM ICE JAMS HAS PASSED FOR THE SEASON. SNOW PACK CONDITIONS AND POTENTIAL FOR SNOWMELT FLOODING... SNOW TOTALS IN THE ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS OF NEW YORK REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL. AS A RESULT...THE POTENTIAL FOR SNOWMELT FLOODING IS ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE OUTLOOK PERIOD FOR AREAS AFFECTED BY ADIRONDACK SNOWMELT. LINGERING SNOW AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE SOUTHERN GREENS AND NORTHERN BERKSHIRES KEEPS THE FLOOD POTENTIAL NEAR NORMAL IN THOSE AREAS AS WELL.
