Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:
     Heavy rain has begun to cause some flooding concerns, especially across Northeastern New York. Doppler Radar indicates that 2-3.5 inches of rain has fallen across Rouses Point, back west to Champlain Village with rainfall rates of nearly 3 inches per hour. Radar indicates that the storms have begun to weaken, but are continuing to train over Rouses point. Additional rainfall of up to an inch is possible. Click the "Flood Advisory" link in red above for further details. Stay tuned for further updates.

     The Flash Flood threat looks to continue overnight, mainly for areas across Central, and Southern Vermont. Currently a Flash Flood Warning has been issued for Northwestern Rutland County Vermont, where 3-4 inches of rain has fallen, and additional amounts of 1-2 inches is possible overnight. Currently PWAT values are running pretty close to what I had predicted. PWAT values are in the 1.6 to 2.1 range, with the highest values to the south, and the lower values to the north. Radar shows some breaks across central New York, but with some more precipitation to the west, so continued rain overnight looks like a good bet, some of which could be locally heavy. Stay tuned for any further updates.
