While yesterday’s floods were much smaller in scale than in previous years, the date’s symbolic nature brought painful memories and underlined the new regularity of flooding in Vermont.

This year's flash floods were confined to the northeastern part of the state. They were far less catastrophic than those of the previous two years.

Parts of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom see up to 5 inches of rainfall in 3 hours, long-time residents reflect on three back-to-back summers of flooding on July 10

The flooding came on the exact anniversary of catastrophic flooding that hit Vermont on July 10, 2023 and again, on the same day, in 2024.

Vermont Governor Phil Scott was in Lyndonville, in the state’s Northeast Kingdom, on Wednesday to mark the anniversaries of flooding in the state.

A mix of sun and clouds is expected on Sunday, with highs in the mid to upper 80s and high humidity. A few spotty showers are likely in the morning. Then, a round of slow-moving storms is likely in northern New York this afternoon. A few storms likely come east into northern Vermont this evening.

Thursday will be a “storm sandwich” with pockets of heavy rain in the morning, a dry midday, and scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms popping up across the region.
