Over 1/2 inch of rain on Thursday

This chart shows the precipitation that will acumulate between 12Z (7AM) Thursday and Friday. Northeastern Vermont is in the dark blue, meaning that we will receive over .5 inches of rain. That is a good soaking.

For perspective, compare this to the monthly climatology for September. The average rainfall for this month is 3.47 inches per month. Half an inch represents about 1/7 of the rainfall for the whole month.

Fearless prediction: this amount looks about right. There is already a lot of moisture and rain in the Ohio valley. Bring an umbrella on Thursday!
