Western Rutland

... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through Friday morning...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* portions of northern New York and Vermont... including the
following areas... in northern New York... eastern Clinton...
eastern Essex... southeastern St. Lawrence... southern
Franklin... western Clinton and western Essex. In Vermont...
Caledonia... eastern Addison... eastern Chittenden... eastern
Franklin... eastern Rutland... Essex... Grand Isle... LaMoille...
Orange... Orleans... Washington... western Addison... western
Chittenden... western Franklin... western Rutland and Windsor.

* Through Friday morning

* thunderstorms this evening and tonight will have the potential
to produce rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches an hour. These storms
will be training... or moving over the same area... and this will
increase the threat for flash flooding.

* Flash flooding can occur quickly... thus roads can flood in a
very short period of time. Small rivers and streams can also
rise rapidly... and culverts can fill up or become blocked by
debris quickly. All of these situations can lead to flooding in
a short period of time and create locally dangerous conditions.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should flash flood warnings be issued.

... Record daily maximum rainfall set at Burlington VT...
