A Flood Advisory continues for Essex County in New York until 12:30AM, and a Flood Advisory continues for Clinton County in New York until 2:30AM.

Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:
     Thunderstorms are beginning to diminish, and the threat for them to be Severe has diminished. With the sun setting, daytime heating has ended too, and with the showers, and thunderstorms that have moved over the region, the atmosphere is stabilizing rapidly.

     Rain and non-severe thunderstorms will continue until midnight, and then rain showers will continue for a few more hours before all but ending. The most additional rain should fall in the Champlain Valley of Vermont, and New York, and the nearby Eastern Slopes of the Adirondack mountains, and the Western Slopes of the Green Mountains. Additional rainfall totals should range from a half to one and a half inches. The flash flood threat will persist for several more hours, but it should not be as high a threat as earlier. We may be doing this all over again tomorrow, so stay tuned for further updates!
