... Flood Watch remains in effect until 8 am EDT Friday...

The Flood Watch continues for

* the northern Adirondacks of New York... the Champlain
Valley... and the remainder of Vermont.

* Until 8 am EDT Friday

* while the threat for heavy rain has diminished... heavy rainfall
in the past 24 hours combined with an already saturated ground
has led to flooding across portions of the north country. This
threat will continue through the overnight hours.

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding. You should
monitor later forecasts... and those living in areas prone to
flooding... should be prepared to take action should flooding
develop.
