National Weather Service Issues High Wind Warning and Flood Watch
Vermont Business Magazine Green Mountain Power (GMP) is ready to respond as forecasters say a regionwide storm will bring gusty winds and heavy rain to Vermont and all of the northeast Thursday. Rain is predicted to be heavy – up to three inches especially in the parts of central and southern Vermont that got heavy snow last week. Snow melt could add to waterways, and the National Weather Service issued a Flood Watch for Addison, Bennington, Chittenden, Orange, Rutland, Washington, Windham and Windsor counties.
Forecasters expect gusty winds statewide with the strongest gusts to be in higher elevations and along the western slopes of the Green Mountains late Thursday into Friday – possibly strong enough to take down trees and power lines.
