Flash Flood/ Severe Weather Update

Hey Everyone,
     Just a quick update, a Severe Thunderstorm watch has been issued for far Southern Vermont, and all of Northern New York. The watch box covers the entire state of Vermont, but for some reason, they wont include those counties into the watch. I am checking forecast discussions, to figure out why this is. You will see an image down at the end of this post, and you will see what I mean. Beside that, the flash flood watch contiues for the same areas as before. So no update to that.
     Currently on Radar strong to severe thunderstorms are over Central/ Western New York Moving east-northeast into Northern New York. The primary threats being Damaging Winds, and Flooding Rains. Another line of less intense storms are behind this, these storms primary threat are for heavy rain. It is going to be tough to determine how far east the severe weather threat will be, but in my opinion a Severe Thunderstorm watch should be issued for the remainded of the State of Vermont. Although it will be tough to maintain a severe threat in Eastern Vermont, by the time the storms arrive. Below is several maps with explanations with each one. Stay tunned to your local weather and media outlets as well as this blog for further updated on this developing weather situation.

Severe Thunderstorm Watch Outline, And Counties
This is what I was explaining earlier. This is the Severe thunderstorm watch from the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center out of Norman, OK. As you can see the outline covers a large area and much of whats inside that watch outline is filled in with a dark blue color. That shows the watch is valid for those counties. They have not allowed the watch outline over Central and Northern Vermont to be valid. In the western portion of this watch you will see the same thing. Those counties however are under a seperate watch thats why they are not filled in. I have been unable to figure out why they wont allow the watch to be active for Northern and Central Vermont.
