What the National Weather Service wrote

State Highway 38A was impassible from high water at several points, including at Burdock Road, Sayles Corner Road, and Dresserville Road.

The wider storm

A slow moving upper level low pressure system interacted with a surface frontal boundary to induce torrential rain-producing thunderstorms. These storms moved into Central New York during the afternoon and repeatedly struck the same areas leading to localized flash flooding of roads, ditches and urban areas.
