Heavy rain; Isolated flash flooding possible Saturday
All is quiet around the region tonight, but that will change as we move towards dawn Saturday morning. Our storm system looks to be tracking a bit further inland, bringing some of the higher rainfall totals to our region, and increasing our risk for flash flooding. Although most of our larger waterways look to remain within their banks (Otter Creek is the only spot expected to enter 'Action Stage') but sharp rises on smaller streams and creeks could wash out dirt roads and clog culverts. Rainfall totals range between 1-2″ for most folks, but some isolated locations east of the Green Mountains could reach 2-3″+ The clouds hold on Sunday, but we're only left with a few sprinkles or spot showers and temperatures climb into the upper 50's and lower 60's for both days this weekend!
