It's still incredibly humid across Vermont and eastern New York as of 3 p.m. Friday. Heavy rain has hit some areas, with flash flood warnings for much of southern New England and a watch for the southern two thirds of Vermont.
The threat of heavy rain and possible flash floods continues in Vermont through this evening. There is a band of heavy rain now entering far northwestern Vermont which could cause some local street flooding and such in places like St. Albans and Burlington.
Another band of heavy rain is across central Vermont. That central Vermont band, plus the rain over northwestern Vermont that could sink southeastward through the rest of the day, might touch off the flash floods forecasters are worried about.
It also rained harder last night and early today across parts of central Vermont, with a few places getting more than two inches. Those areas are more prone to flooding this afternoon than areas more to the north, which got received less rain.
So it's not over yet. The threat will go away tonight. You'll be able to tell right away the heavy rain is done. If you feel it turning noticeably less humid where you are this evening, you can forget about torrential downpours.
It's still looking like a dry, much less humid and rather sunny weekend, so that's a good thing.
