This flooding occurred after 3 to 8 inches of rain fell, leading to washed out roads and water rescues. This event is a 1,000-year flood event - meaning it has a 1 in a 1,000 chance of happening in any given year (or a .1% probability).
Any storm that develops Tuesday could bring another chance at localized flash flooding, though much of New England will be dry. A flood warning remains in place for parts of Vermont through 4 p.m.

This afternoon brings us some sun and clouds as an area of low pressure moves slowly across Maine Tuesday.

Heat index values will be in the mid-90s. Wednesday will be in the mid-80s with a chance for scattered showers and storms as another system moves in.
