UPDATE 2: Heavy Rain & Strong Winds Tonight Into Monday








Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:
         Just a quick update. Everything appears to be on track. I just wanted to re-issue the maps to reflect that Champlain Valley Weather has issued a Flood Watch to now cover all of Vermont and all of Northern New York. Previously the St. Lawrence Valley, and Grand Isle County of Vermont were not in the watch. Due to model trends, more rain is expected in the St. Lawrence Valley, enough so to expand the Flood Watch. While there is no major waterways in Grandisle County other then the broad lake, there is still small streams that could overflow, and not to mention localized street flooding is likely to occur due to clogged storm drains, so I have covered Grandisle county in the Watch now as well. Other then these minor changes everything else appears to be on track. Only brief freezing rain will occur in the Northern St. Lawrence Valley and Eastern Vermont, before temperature rapidly warm above freezing. The National Weather Service offices have made no changes to their official alerts at this time. Please view the previous post for full details on the storm, and stay tuned for further updates.
