Vermont Rain Threatens Flash Floods | Montpelier News

Heavy rain is pounding Vermont and northern New York, with some areas bracing for over four inches by Wednesday night—enough to trigger flash flooding in low-lying spots and poor drainage zones. The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for southern and central Vermont plus Essex County, New York, warning of 1-3 inches more, especially in the Green Mountains. While major rivers are expected to stay contained, smaller streams could swell fast. The worst of the downpours hit Wednesday morning through afternoon, easing by nightfall—with lighter showers Thursday and clearing by Thursday night. Stay alert, watch local streams, and prepare for slick roads and possible localized flooding. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
