Syracuse, N.Y. -- A storm system that could bring up to 2 inches of rain across Upstate New York is raising flood worries for a second weekend in a row.

Snow from the big nor'easter this month is still melting in some areas, and some streams and rivers are running near flood stage, the National Weather Service said.

Soils across much of Upstate New York are already 75 to 85 percent saturated due to snow melt and recent rains. Up to 2 inches of rain could fall through Sunday.

The flood threat is greatest in the eastern Southern Tier and Catskills, which had the most snow in the nor'easter and are likely to get the most rain this weekend. A flood watch is in effect for that area through the weekend.

Forecasters are also keeping an eye on yet another storm system that could come early next week, bringing a mix of snow and rain.

Here's what the weather service is saying about flood potential in Upstate New York today through Sunday:

Central New York/Southern Tier/Catskills

Hudson Valley

Western New York
