A storm passing through Western New York today could bring as much as two inches of rain to Genesee County, according to the National Weather Service.
A flash flood watch has been issued locally because of the potential for rapidly rising water in populated areas, especially along feeder streams.
The watch is in effect until 4 p.m.
The NWS reports that an elongated low-pressure zone over West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania is directing widespread soaking rain to zones north from the Southern Tier across the Genesee River Valley and Finger Lakes to the Eastern Lake Ontario region.
