The National Weather Service in Burlington has issued a
* Flash Flood Watch for the northern Adirondacks of New York... the
Champlain Valley... and the remainder of Vermont.
* From noon EDT today through Friday morning
* thunderstorms this afternoon 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 will occur quickly... thus roads can flood in a
very short period of time... small rivers can rise rapidly... and
culverts can fill up quickly. All of these situations can lead
to flooding in a short period of time.
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.
