SNOW  MELT...RIVER ICE...AND A PERIOD OF RAIN LATER TODAY WILL  CONTRIBUTE TO RISING WATER LEVELS ON AREA RIVERS. VERY MILD  TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY WILL THEN ACCELERATE THE SNOW MELT. A  MORE WIDESPREAD FLOODING THREAT WILL THEN DEVELOP BY TUESDAY AS  WARM TEMPERATURES AND ADDITIONAL MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY  RAINFALL MOVE INTO THE REGION.* AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT ANY RIVER FLOODING THROUGH MONDAY  IS LIKELY TO BE MINOR FIELD AND ROAD FLOODING. THE POTENTIAL FOR  MORE SIGNIFICANT FLOODING WILL OCCUR IN THE TUESDAY THROUGH  WEDNESDAY TIME PERIOD ON MAIN STEM RIVERS...AS WELL AS SMALLER  RIVERS AND STREAMS ACROSS THE AREA.PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING BASED ONCURRENT FORECASTS.YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE ALERT FOR POSSIBLEFLOOD WARNINGS. THOSE LIVING IN AREAS PRONE TO FLOODING SHOULD BEPREPARED TO TAKE ACTION SHOULD FLOODING DEVELOP.&&$$SCHWIBS

Yeah BTV put out a Flood Watch on Friday for this area, and one of the longest running flood watches I can remember but it's that time of year. Issued Friday morning and valid through Wednesday haha.

Should be more substantial melting with the warm temps Monday and with today's rain brooks , rivers and streams are already running high here and with the potential heavy rain mid week it could be seriously problamatic

Yeah our river in town is running decently, but not near flood.  However, seeing as it drains all of Mansfield's east side and neighboring peaks, along with the considerable SWE left up here, an inch of rain plus 3-5" worth of melt could be interesting.  The upper elevations are near 20" SWE so that may cause some issues if even a fraction of that comes out.  Similar to a thunderstorm sitting over the mountain that dumps several inches of rain into the system.

It's funny how MADIS thinks all of the U30s and L40s obs in the dreary sector are suspicious. Usually I only see that in the winter in the north country when there's extreme radiational cooling.

Posted this in the other thread, but wanted to make sure Tamarck saw it.  Wondering what he's got for water content as I'm sure he's still got a decent pack left.  This is pretty darn ripe now.

 

At my 1,500ft plot, the snow is now running >40% water content as of this afternoon.

 

Snowpack is 14-16" deep on level ground at that elevation, and contains a whopping 6-7" of snow-water equivalent.  This is on par with the highest I've seen which is in that 40-50% water range...as last April I had a core with 64" depth and 26" SWE at 3,000ft.
