Debby expected to bring rainfall to Vermont starting tonight
Tropical Storm Debby’s impact on Vermont is expected to begin tonight, with the remnants of the storm causing rainfall and potential flooding.
Forecasters from the National Weather Service’s Burlington office predict 1-3 inches of rainfall in the state between tonight and Saturday.
Eric Myskowski, a forecaster from NWS Burlington, told the USA Today Network that there is still uncertainty over where the band of heaviest rainfall will land in Vermont.
“There’s gonna be basically rainfall from tonight to sometime on Saturday morning,” Myskowski said. “The heaviest rainfall will fall late Friday and Friday night.”
The NWS is concerned about flooding depending on where the heaviest band of rainfall lands, Myskowski said.
“This basically could cause some scattered flash flooding and or river flooding for kind of the area,” Myskowski said. “There’s gonna be some gustier winds, nothing right now we’re thinking damaging but there will be some generically gustier winds.”
However, NWS forecasts are currently predicting higher flooding concerns in areas of northern New York.
