…FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM NOON EDT TODAY THROUGH THIS EVENING…

* WHAT…Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.

* WHERE…Eastern Clinton and Eastern Essex in northern New York, and all of northern and central Vermont.

* WHEN…From noon today through this evening.

* IMPACTS…Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, as well as other low-lying and flood-prone
locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks and
result in flooding with more heavy rain, especially across
portions of northeastern Vermont. Isolated landslides are also
possible in areas of hilly terrain that have seen recent heavy
rainfall.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…
– Widespread showers with embedded thunderstorms are expected
to develop this afternoon and continue into the evening.
Localized areas that see multiple rounds of thunderstorms and
heavy downpours will be at greater risk of flash flooding. In
isolated locations that have seen recent heavy rainfall,
little rainfall is needed to produce flooding.
