Potential Significant Flood/ Flash Flooding Wednesday into Thursday

Hey everyone,
     This rainy pattern just does not want to stop. It seems like we have had thunderstorms everyday for the entire summer. But in reality we obviously haven't. Over the last two weeks we have seen 3 - 6 inches of rain with isolated amounts up to 8 inches. Much of that occuring Friday and yesterday. Over the past two months we have seen anywhere from 8 inches to as much as 20 inches of rain!!!! Some isolated areas across Northern New York and Vermont are 400% of Normal for precipitation!!!! Today there were isolated thunderstorms with heavy rain but it was not widespread. Although it only took a little bit of rain to cause some minor problems. One area that was hit with heavy rain today was East Fairfield and Bakersfield, the heavy rain that likely accumulated around an three quarters of an inch caused significant run off which only adds to the already swollen waterways. Field flooding had already occurred and was still ongoing from Friday and Yesterday, and today's rain only aggravated things a bit. With this said the threat of heavy rainfall Wednesday into Thursday will bring the potential for Flooding and Flash Flooding.
     A tropical-like airmass is expected to overspread the region Tuesday Night into Wednesday Morning, with rain developing by Mid Wednesday. The rain will likely become heavy at times, and with any thunderstorms that for, rain will become torrential. Models are indicating as little as 1.75 inches to as much as 6 inches of rain across the region. I am in strong agreement at this point with the national weather service of the models being overdone but we could easily see 1 - 3 inches of rain. The heaviest rain right now is expected to be over the Champlain Valley and points east. The potential of river flooding as of current forecasts are high for the Valleys and higher elevations with a significant Flash Flood threat across the higher/ hilly terrain. Stay tunned to local forecasts and your local media and weather outlets as well as this blog for any further updates. Below I posted my own map of the areas with an increased threat for Flooding. STAY TUNNED!
