Flood watch in effect this weekend

The National Weather Service in Burlington has issued a flood watch for the North Country from Friday evening through Sunday evening.

Record warm temperatures and a period of moderate to briefly heavy rainfall is expected on Saturday.

“Minor to locally moderate flooding is possible due to (a) combination of snow melt and rainfall amounts between a half (inch) and one inch,” the Weather Service reported.

The heaviest rainfall is expected Saturday afternoon into Saturday night. Localized ice jam flooding could begin sooner with ongoing snowmelt and warm temperatures today into Friday.
