Areas affectedNortheastern United States (particularly New York and Vermont)

A significant flash flood event, known as the Great Vermont Flood of 10-11 July 2023 in Vermont occurred in the Northeastern United States from July 9 to 29, 2023, leading to widespread damage across multiple states in the Mid-Atlantic, with the heaviest and most destructive flash flooding centered around northern New England, specifically Vermont.[1] Across the affected areas, numerous roads and bridges were washed out, and dozens of water rescues were conducted. Downtown Montpelier was flooded, and numerous state roads around the city were closed.

Meteorological history

The areas where the flooding occurred were already saturated by recent rainfall several weeks prior, and a large area of moisture traveled from the Atlantic Ocean to the Northeastern United States, likely contributed by warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean, where moisture evaporated and produced additional rainfall over New England.[2] The storm, producing heavy rainfall, eventually slowed over the northeastern United States due to a large high pressure area over Greenland, which stalled the storm bringing high rainfall rates.[2]

The Weather Prediction Center’s excessive rainfall outlook for July 10. This outlook included a rare Level 4–High Risk for most of Vermont.

Preparations
