Flash Flood Watch Issued For Much of Vermont

Hey Everyone,
     The National Weather Service in Burlington, VT has issued a Flash Flood Watch for much of Vermont, and portions of Northern New York. The National Weather Service in Grey, ME has issued a Flash Flood Watch for portions of Northern New Hampshire. As of now the The National Weather Service out of Albany, NY has not issued a Flash Flood Watch for the two southernmost counties in Vermont, Bennington, and Windham.
     The most vulnerable areas for Flash Flooding will be across Central/ Southern Vermont, where 3 - 4 inches of rain fall last night. The Otter Creek and Poultney river are still continuing to rise rapidly. But at this point they do appear to stay within there banks. They very well could flood depending on how much rain falls later today across that area. With a very moist atmosphere any storms that develop today could drop 1 - 3 inches of rain in an hour.
     Of another concern is the potential of Severe thunderstorms. Instability is expected to become moderate, and the upper wind fields for severe storms are much better then yesterday. Although wind fields are greater the storms will still continue to be slow movers. Storms that develop today have the best potential to produce damaging winds, second threat heavy rain, third threat being hail, and last threat is the potential of an isolated tornado across Southern Vermont. Below is a few maps. First being National Weather Service Current Alerts, then My map of Current Alerts, then the final map being where the best chance for flooding is. The last 2 maps have not been updated from last night due to the fact they are still valid, no changes need to be made to them as of right now. As always stay tuned to your local weather and media outlets, as well as this blog for any further updates on this developing weather situation...
