Remnants Of Ida Effecting The Region Today

Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:
         Currently light to moderate rain is falling across the entire region, infact some occasionally heavy rain has been noted in some areas. This rain is from the remnants of former Hurricane Ida, which made landfall in the US as a Tropical Storm. Ida then transitioned from a tropical system to an extra-tropical low pressure system and pounded the mid-Atlantic states, dropping up to a foot of rain, and strong damaging winds to hurricane force, 75MPH. The center of Ida's remnants is actually still well off the southeast coast of the United States, but her moisture continues to move North, and break away from the low pressure center.
         Rain will continue light to moderate at times today, with occasional heavier showers. Intensity of the precipitation should begin to diminish later this evening, and all but end by midnight. Total rainfall accumulations should range from a quarter to half inch in the Champlain Valley, with isolated amounts up to three quarters of an inch, to half to one inch across the Western slopes of the Green mountains and points east. Locally higher amounts could occur across Eastern and Southeastern Vermont. There should be no flooding issues, other then ponding of water on roadways in some of the heavier rain, and poor drainage areas.
