ALBANY -- The National Weather Service has issued flood watches for much of upstate New York, where forecasts are calling for as much as four inches of rain in some areas.

Forecasters say heavy rainfall is expected Monday morning in parts of eastern New York, where melting snow pack could result in flooding along some creeks and rivers.

Two to three inches of rain are forecast for most of the mid-Hudson Valley with up to four inches across parts of the southeast Catskills and southern Adirondacks.

Temperatures are expected to climb into the 40s and 50s Monday, adding to the threat of flash flooding along smaller streams.

In the Southern Tier, flooding has caused a rock and mud slide near the intersection of Interstate 81 and Route 17 (the Southern Tier Expressway) in Binghamton.

Here are the Central New York counties affected by the flash flood warnings:

Onondaga
Cortland
Oneida
Chenango
Tompkins
Northeast Schuyler
