Heavy rain...again

Another heavy rain warning is in effect for southern Quebec. Low pressure over the mid Mississippi Valley is moving along a stationary front draped just to the south of Montreal, bringing with it abundant moisture. Rain has been falling since noon and it should fall for the next 24 hours. Some of the rain will be quite heavy, especially overnight. Forecast amounts are expected in the 25 to 75mm (1-3 inch) range when all is said and done. Sadly the heaviest rain will fall south of the St. Lawrence Valley and into northern New York and Vermont. The last thing this area needs is more rain. Lake Champlain is already at a record 102.9 feet with severe flooding and this rain will only increase the risk. Flood warnings and advisories remain posted for Lake Champlain and the Richelieu Valley as well as all northern New York and Vermont counties.
