Flooding and mudslides will be possible with the rain falling on already saturated ground.

The best chance for flooding will be along and west of I-81 in flood prone areas along creeks and streams.

We'll dry out by Sunday afternoon as tempertures climb back into 60s to near 70 degrees, Monday and Tuesday also appear to give us a break from the rain.
