Severe Weather And Flash Flood Threat Into This Evening

Hello Everyone,
     I am back from work, and able to update everyone on the severe weather and flash flood potential for the rest of today/ tonight. Currently numerous showers and thunderstorms are across the region, most concentrated areas are Central/ Southern Vermont, Central/ Southern New Hampshire, and Central/ Southern/ Western New York. Some of these storms are severe with the most significant threat being large hail. Damaging wind is the secondary threat, with the final threat being an outside chance of a tornado across extreme southern Vermont.
     The northern areas of Vermont, New York, and New Hampshire have for the most part been able to avoid significant thunderstorms. Although now there is an area being watched across the St. Lawerence Valley, that is moving to the east. Depending on how fast this area of showers will make it across the area will determine whether or not it will be severe. The likelyhood of these storms being severe across Northern New York, and Northwestern Vermont is fairly good, but if they take longer to travel across the area then the severe weather threat may diminish due to the setting of the sun. Right now though as stated before the most significant threat for Severe weather will be further to the south, as you will see in the enhanced areas on the severe weather outlook maps below. (From the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center).
     Now to touch on the Flash flood threat, as always severe thunderstorms drop heavy rainfall, with Flash Flooding occuring two days ago in Central/ South-Central Vermont, storms currently moving through that area, very well could cause more flash flooding. I have made another map for today showing where the enhanced Flash Flood Threat will be. Stay tunned to your local weather/ media outlets for further updates on this developing weather situation.
