Beryl brings flash flooding to parts of Vermont, New York: What to know

The remnants of Tropical Storm Beryl hit Vermont late Wednesday, bringing flash flooding and flood warnings to areas of the state.

According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, a Flood Watch is in effect through noon ET Thursday for most of Vermont and northern New York. The rain, however, is expected to ease throughout the day Thursday.

"Heavy rain that has caused flash flooding is lifting north and east out of the forecast area this morning," the NWS said in an advisory around 10:25 a.m. ET Thursday. "Rivers are on the rise and cresting this morning, some within flood states."

"Precipitation will become isolated and scattered today, gradually drying out into the weekend. Temperatures will remain warm and humid, increasing over the weekend," the NWS said.

According to the Burlington Free Press, part of the USA TODAY network, many roads are closed or have been damaged in the state as a result of 2 to 4 inches of rain falling.

Beryl unleashed a barrage of severe weather to southeast Texas on Monday, killing at least four people, flooding highways, closing oil ports, canceling more than 1,300 flights, and knocking out power to millions.

Last week, Beryl carved a path of destruction across the Caribbean — leaving at least 11 people dead and destroying or severely damaging infrastructure on several islands. Beryl, which at one point strengthened into the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record, last made landfall on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula Friday morning.
