Areal Flood Watch
Statement as of 3:37 PM EDT on July 24, 2008


... Flood Watch remains in effect through Friday morning...

The Flood Watch continues for

* the northern Adirondacks of New York... the entire Champlain
Valley... and all of central and northern Vermont.

* Through Friday morning

* showers and scattered thunderstorms will continue across the
north country tonight... with locally heavy rainfall possible.
Storm totals since Wednesday are expected to range from 1 to 4
inches across the watch area... with isolated higher amounts.
Showers will taper off overnight... but flood effects could
linger into Friday morning.

* Rainfall over the previous week has saturated soils and
increased the water levels in rivers and streams. Additional
runoff from todays rainfall will result in an increased flood
threat across a good portion of the north country.

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.

Please stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio... your local media... or
go to www.Weather.Gov/Burlington for further updates on this
weather situation.
