Perfect Storm Deluges Capital Region | Albany News

Flash floods turned the Capital Region into a waterlogged nightmare this week — not from one storm, but a perfect storm: two stubborn low-pressure systems, tropical moisture, and stalled thunderstorms that dumped 5-10 inches of rain over hours. Forecasters warned days ahead, flagging flood risks in the Hudson Valley, but even they couldn’t predict how extreme it would get — with some spots hitting over 11 inches in 24 hours. The result? Widespread road closures, water rescues, and a brutal reminder that when weather factors align just right, ordinary rain can become historic disaster.
