The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for the Connecticut River in anticipation of heavy rain overnight Tuesday combining with melted snow, The Associated Press reports.
The river is already swollen from melted snow due to mild temperatures in Vermont and New Hampshire over the last three days and forecasters are calling for as much as inch of rain in some areas on Wednesday.
The weather service says there is a risk of minor flooding beginning Wednesday in low-lying areas along the river. Swift river flows could also disrupt some cross-river ferry services.
