Just a quick update. A flash flood warning has been issued by the National Weather Service for Rutland, and Windsor Counties. Heavy rain over the past several hours has resulted in over 2 inches of rain falling, leading to significant runoff and Flash Flooding. A cooperative observer from Rutland County reported 2.35 inches of rain in 1 hour and 45 minutes earlier this evening. Moderate to heavy rain continues, and Law enforcement officials have reported numerous flooded basements and road closures across Rutland City. Heavy rain will taper off over the next hour or two before some additional rain in western New York makes it into the same area over night. The rain tonight should not be as heavy as earlier, however up to an additional inch of rain could be expected overnight tonight.
Tomorrow, additional problems will unfold as more numerous showers and thunderstorms develop, at this time it appears once again the heaviest rain will fall across Northern New York and Central/ Southern Vermont. Storms are expected to be slow movers again tomorrow, and with an extremely moist atmosphere torrential rain will likely fall in any of these storms. I have made a couple maps, one being my own current alerts map. I feel a flash flood watch should be issued for much of the area except the Northern Champlain Valley, and South-Eastern New Hampshire. The second map is where I am forecasting the highest likelihood of flash flooding. Stay tuned to your local media, and weather outlets for further updates on this developing situation.
