You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.

Another round of steady rain is expected tonight, with rainfall amounts possibly exceeding a half inch. Snowmelt and runoff will increase tonight, bringing elevated flows to area creeks and rivers. Recent reports have indicated ice formation on the Buffalo area creeks, as well as creeks and rivers in the western Southern Tier. As creeks and rivers rise, a continued mild airmass will continue to encourage the creek and river ice to break, leading to possible ice jams and subsequent flooding. The ice is not particularly thick, which will likely limit the potential for ice jam flooding. ...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING... * WHAT...Flooding caused by rain and/or snowmelt and/or ice jam continues to be possible. * WHERE...A portion of western New York, including the following counties, Chautauqua, Northern Erie and Southern Erie. * WHEN...Through Saturday morning. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - The combination of snowmelt and rainfall runoff, combined with the breakup of creek ice, may bring a limited potential for minor flooding and minor ice jam flooding in low lying, flood prone areas. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
