Areal Flood Warning Statement as of 8:52 PM EDT on July 23, 2008

The National Weather Service in Albany has issued a

* Flood Warning for small streams in...
Bennington County in southern Vermont...

* until 245 am EDT

* at 852 PM EDT National Weather Service Doppler radar indicates one to
two inches of rainfall have occurred in less than 3 hours across
the County. An additional one to two inches of rainfall will be possible
by early Thursday morning bringing small streams and creeks out of their
banks. Some rural areas will likely flood too.

A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or has been reported.
Stream rises will be slow and flash flooding is not expected.
However... all interested parties should take necessary precautions
immediately.

Most flood deaths occur in automobiles. Never drive your vehicle into
areas where the water covers the roadway. Turn around... dont drown.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause elevated levels on
small creeks and streams... and ponding of water on country roads and
farmland along the banks of creeks and streams.

Please report flooding to the National Weather Service by email at
alb.Stormreport@noaa.Gov.

The Flood Watch continues for

* all of eastern New York and adjacent western New England. This
includes the capital district... Mohawk Valley... Hudson
Valley... Catskills... Adirondacks... southern Green
Mountains... Berkshires and northwest Connecticut.

* Through Friday morning

* a frontal boundary oriented south to north will become nearly
stationary across the region tonight. An abundance of moisture
will advance northward along this frontal boundary. Rainfall is
expected to become heavy at times this evening and tonight.
Periods of heavy rain will linger through much of Thursday...
especially from the Hudson River valley eastward.

* Total rainfall amounts by Friday morning are expected to range
between 2 to 4 inches... with locally higher
amounts... especially where embedded thunderstorms persist. This

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop. Stay tuned for
