Experts said warnings issued in the run-up to this weekend’s flooding were as timely and accurate as possible, but questions about whether the alerts reached people most at risk remain.

The National Weather Service issued a flood watch at 1:16 a.m. on Sunday valid from 11 a.m. until Monday 5 a.m. for Cayuga and Oswego counties.

Radar shows the rain is coming down at a rate of a half-inch to 1.5 inches per hour, according to the National Weather Service.
