| National Weather Service office in South Burlington released this map Sunday, showing how much rain fell over six days ending early Sunday. Areas that needed the rain most in general got the most rain, which is nice. |
The map is in this post. Click on it to make it bigger and easier to see.
As is normal with summer rainfall, totals were really variable, but everybody got a good soaking. Some spots that got bullseyed by thunderstorms Thursday and Friday did really well.
I saw a 5.28 inch total in eastern Rutland County, and a few places in north-central Vermont that had over four inches.
In general the heaviest rain hit where it was most needed, in that north-central Vermont area. That's where the U.S. Drought Monitor has been regarding as the driest area of the Green Mountain State, and the area that needed the most rain.
As I noted yesterday, aside from isolated showers Monday and Tuesday, we're dry through Friday. There are hints that it might end up raining hard again, at least in spots, this coming Saturday and Sunday.
But that's a long way off, so that forecast is subject to change.
Despite all the rain we just had, it really wouldn't hurt to see more. One rainy week can't entirely wipe out the effects of a dry spring.
