Flash Flooding Update

Hey Everyone,
     Just another quick update. The National Weather Service out of Burlington Vermont, has issued a new/ continued Flash Flood Warning for Rutland, and Windsor Counties. Another training/ back building thunderstorm has been dropping 1 - 2 inches in an hour or less. Doppler radar indicates as much as 3.9 inches of rain has fallen across Southern Vermont.There very well could be more then that, especially with a confirmed total of 2.35 inches at 6:45PM in Rutland. There has easily been another 2 inches that has fallen across that area if not a bit more. For a rare change the radar may actually be under estimating the rainfall totals by a bit.
     Another interesting note is that the heavy rain has been widespread enough over Rutland County that a couple main stem rivers are showing very sharp rises. This will have to be monitored closely. Things are becoming increasingly interesting for later today, 6/29. I have several images posted below, a brief description will be with each. As always please stay tuned to your local weather and media outlets as well as here for any further updates on this developing weather situation.
