Hey Everyone,
     It seems like we cant get away from these strong showers/ thunderstorms day after day. Knowing this, the ground is still very moist, and with more numerous showers and thunderstorms, along with atmospherical conditions being right, things could set up for some Flooding problems this weekend. It has been drier I shall say but ground conditions as stated before are still very moist.
     For today 6/28 and Tomorrow 6/29 the atmosphere will be very juicy I will call it. With dew points in the 60's and precipitable water values around 2 inches!! The atmosphere in the least will be extremely moist. Once storms pop up in the afternoon today and Sunday, with no real push in the upper layers of the atmosphere these storms will move slow, producing torrential rains. We could be talking about rainfall rates of 2 inches per hour, and perhaps a bit more. Now I do want to urge that this much rain is NOT going to fall across the entire area but some spotty locations will receive these excessive amounts of rain, leading to the potential of Flash Flooding, especially where the slowest moving storms are and where storms form over the same areas. At this point there is no real specific area that could see the highest potential of flooding as of yet. But due to the fact of storms yesterday 6/27, strongest being to the south, I will say Southern Vermont and Central New York have the best chance to have any flooding problems, although any of these slow, back building storms wont have much problem producing significant and potential flooding rainfall on there own, anywhere they pop up. Stay tuned to your local media and weather outlets for further updates on this situation.
