Rain mainly light with some areas of heavier rain in Northeastern Vermont continues. Although breaks in the precipitation will become increasingly common. Widespread rainfall totals have been 1.5 - 2.5 inches with a more narrow band of 2.5 - 3.5 inches, along with a few isolated spots of 4 - 5 inches. Significantly lighter totals have been witnessed across Franklin and Grand Isle Counties in Vermont, as well as all of Northern New York except Southern Essex Counties. Rain totals across this area have generally been .5 - 1 inch across Franklin, and Grand Isle Counties in Vermont to a half inch or less in much of Northern New York.
     So far flooding has been minor, mainly on small streams, brooks, and small rivers. This is due to the fact that the precipitation has had significant time breaks in it. Such as the first batch came in yesterday morning, followed by a second round late evening, a third round overnight, and a fourth round this afternoon. So it has been spaced out just enough for area waterways for the most part to handle it. Main stem rivers are beginning to respond, but flooding should remain minor.
     A new rainfall total map has been issued mainly to reflect the lighter amounts of precipitation across extreme Northwestern Vermont, and Northern New York...
