Flash Flood — Windham, VT

Jul 16, 2000

A stalled frontal boundary across extreme southern Vermont interacted with a strong upper level disturbance from July 15 into early July 16. The result was a slow-moving low pressure area which formed over Virginia. This low pumped a deep layer of tropical air into the region and produced the second widespread heavy rainstorm of the summer. Two to four inches of widespread rain fell, with locally higher amounts across the higher terrain of Windham County. Specific amounts included 3.00 inches
