Event narrative

CoCoRaHS observer reported flash flooding along Depot Brook in Groton. NWS Storm surveys the following morning confirmed additional, and in some cases severe flash flooding in Groton, particularly along stretches of US Route 302. Here, several tributaries to the adjacent Wells River damaged the road, driveways and some structures.

Wider weather episode

The remnants of TS Beryl combined with deep tropical moisture and a stationary front draped across the region produced multiple rounds of heavy showers and storms. This led to numerous reports of flash flooding, some locally severe across a roughly 50 mile swath through Chittenden, Washington, Lamoille, Caledonia, Orleans and Essex Counties.
