The episode as NWS BTV wrote it up.
Warm moist air over the northeast provided the ingredients for heavy rainfall, and saturated ground from record May and June rainfall made the region vulnerable to flooding. Showers and thunderstorms developed during the afternoon and evening of July 2 2013, producing heavy rainfall moved repeatedly across southeast Vermont, with isolated flash flooding.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
746 PM EDT TUE JUL 2 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE RIDING NORTH ALONG A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY
WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE NORTH COUNTRY WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS...WITH HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND ISOLATED AREAS OF FLOODING
POSSIBLE. INCREASINGLY WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AS
WELL...WITH HIGHS PUSHING BACK INTO THE MID TO UPPER 80S BY
WEDNESDAY...WITH DEWPOINTS REMAINING IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 745 PM EDT TUESDAY...WITH IS UPDATE WILL EXTEND FLASH FLOOD
WATCH JUST A FEW HOURS TO LEAVE IT IN EFFECT AS LONG AS ONGOING
CONVECTION PERSISTS. POTENT BAND OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS MOVED
OUT OF ESSEX COUNTY NY AND NOW IN A LINE FROM CHITTENDEN THROUGH
ADDISON TO RUTLAND. STRONGER STORMS COULD DROP A QUICK INCH OF
RAIN...AND IF MULTIPLE STORMS PASS COULD STILL GET FLASH FLOODING.
LAPS SURFACE BASE CAPE PEAKED OUT IN SOUTHERN CHAMPLAIN VALLEY
2500-3000 J/KG, BUT HAVE DROPPED OFF SINCE THEN. RAINFALL RATES
HAVE BRIEFLY SPIKED TO 3" PER HOUR FOR ONLY 1-2 VOLUME SCANS, AND
WOULD WANT TO SEE THOSE RATES CONTINUE FOR A HALF HOUR TO START
GETTING CONCERNED. GIVEN HIGH PWAT VALUES AROUND 1.5" OVER THE
REGION EXPECT TO SEE A FEW MORE INTENSE STORMS DEVELOP. AREAS OF
GREATEST CONCERN CONTINUE TO BE ALONG A LINE FROM ESSEX COUNTY NEW
YORK TO ESSEX COUNTY VERMONT WHERE RECENT RAINFALL OVER THE PAST
24 HOURS TOPPED 1". AVERAGE BASIN 1-3HR FFG REMAINS VERY LOW IN
THE 1.5" RANGE SO IT WON'T TAKE MUCH FOR SOME AREAS TO FLOOD. IN
ADDITION...TWO LARGER SCALE BASINS NEED TO MONITORED...CENV1 AND
ASFN6 WHERE NOTABLE RIVER RISES OCCURRED LAST NIGHT.
OVERALL THE TREND AFTER 03-04Z WILL BE FOR SCATTERED CONVECTION
TO DIMINISH THOUGH WITH THE LOSS OF WHAT LIMITED DAYTIME SURFACE
HEATING WE GET. WARM AND MUGGY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT
THOUGH WITH LOWS ONLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S...AND DEWPOINTS NOT
FAR BEHIND. GOOD BET FOR AREAS OF DENSE FOG AGAIN AS
WELL...THOUGH HARD TO PREDICT HOW WIDESPREAD.
&&
.SHORT TERM /8 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM EDT TUESDAY...LITTLE CHANGE IN THE OVERALL PATTERN
IS EXPECTED FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY AS THE NORTH COUNTRY
REMAINS STUCK BETWEEN A BERMUDA HIGH TO OUR EAST AND UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH TO THE WEST. HEIGHTS CONTINUE TO RISE HOWEVER AS THE
BERMUDA HIGH SHIFTS SLOWLY WEST...WHILE REMNANTS OF SURFACE
BOUNDARY GRADUALLY LIFT NORTH OF THE AREA. THIS PATTERN WILL
SUPPORT INCREASINGLY WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS AS 925MB TEMPS
RISE TO NEAR +20C WEDS AND WARMER THURSDAY WITH MAX TEMPS GOING
BACK INTO THE 80S TO NEAR 90. DEWPOINTS REMAIN VERY HIGH AS WELL
IN THE 60S TO POSSIBLY 70S WHICH WILL SUPPORT SUFFICIENT SURFACE
INSTABILITY EACH AFTERNOON FOR SCATTERED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT. OVERALL THOUGH THINK AREAL COVERAGE WILL DECREASE
EACH DAY WITH THE BUILDING HEIGHTS ALOFT...BUT NEVERTHELESS THE
THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING WILL LIKELY CONTINUE AS SOILS REMAIN
VERY SATURATED. LOW TEMPS EACH NIGHT WILL ALSO BE INCREASINGLY
MUGGY...WARMING A COUPLE DEGREES EACH NIGHT AND HOLDING STEADY IN
THE 60S.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 359 PM EDT TUESDAY...UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BEGINS TO SHIFT
WESTWARD...INCREASING HTS OVER THE NORTH COUNTRY. A COUPLE OF
WEAK IMPULSES WILL MOVE THROUGH THE MORE ZONAL FLOW OVER THE
NORTHEAST...SO CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT CHC FOR SHOWERS. EXPECT
ANY SHOWERY ACTIVITY TO BE SCATTERED AT MOST...MAINLY IN THE AFTN
INTO EVENING. WENT WITH SLGT CHC FOR THE WKND WITH PARTLY CLOUDY
TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. WARM TEMPERATURES EXPECTED WITH 925MB
TEMPS REACHING 20-23C AND 850MB TEMPS REACHING 16-18C. WITH MORE
SUNNY CONDITIONS DURING THE DAY...COULD SEE M-U80S IN THE VALLEYS
AND U70S-L80S IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD WITH A
SLGT COOLING TREND MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS RETURN FOR THE BEGINNING OF
THE WORK WEEK AS ZONAL FLOW CONTINUES TO ALLOW QUICK MOVING
SHORTWAVES TO TRAVERSE THE NORTHEAST.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY...SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL
MOVE IN FROM THE ADIRONDACKS AND HUDSON VALLEY OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF HOURS AFFECTING BTV...PBG...RUT...AND MPV. PERIODS OF
MVFR VISIBILITY SHOULD BE COMMON IN THESE SHOWERS...THOUGH LOCALLY
IFR VISIBILITY IN HEAVIER DOWNPOURS IS ALSO POSSIBLE. MAIN THREAT
OF ANY THUNDER IS AT RUT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS GIVEN SLIGHTLY
BETTER INSTABILITY THERE. SHOWERS/THUNDER LOOK TO END AFTER SUNSET
BUT WILL TRANSITION OVER TO MIST/FOG DEVELOPMENT DURING THE
OVERNIGHT AS WINDS GO LIGHT/VARIABLE. THINK IT WILL BE FAVORABLE
AT MOST OF THE TAFS TONIGHT...BUT ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT DO GET
RAIN IN THE NEAR-TERM.
FOR WEDNESDAY...EXPECTING MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS AFTER AREAS OF
MIST/FOG LIFT. ONE EXCEPTION MAY BE SOME LEFTOVER 5SM HZ DUE TO
SMOKE WHERE WINDS MAY BE MORE VARIABLE IN THE EARLY/MID-MORNING.
WINDS TURN SOUTHWEST WHICH SHOULD KEEP ANY HZ FROM ADVECTING
IN...BUT WILL BRING PERIODS OF SHOWERS/THUNDER ONCE AGAIN DURING
THE AFTERNOON.
OUTLOOK 00Z THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
00Z THURSDAY THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY...VFR EXCEPT BRIEF REDUCTION TO
MVFR IN SHOWERS EACH AFTERNOON/EVENING...AND IFR SOME LOCATIONS
DUE TO FOG GENERALLY 06-12Z.
00Z SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...DRYING TREND WITH VFR CONDITIONS
AND ONLY SLGT CHC FOR SHOWERS ON SUNDAY.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
AS OF 300 PM EDT TUESDAY...FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES THROUGH 03Z
WEDNESDAY FOR MOST OF THE NORTH COUNTRY.
THERE IS STILL THREAT FOR ADDITIONAL FLOODING WITH POSSIBLE FLASH
FLOODING THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER PAST 24
HOURS HAVE RANGED BETWEEN ONE HALF AND ONE INCH ACROSS THE
REGION.AND WITH AS WET AS ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS ARE...WILL TAKE VERY
LITTLE ADDITIONAL RAINFALL FOR FLASH FLOODING. SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE
AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL...
WHICH COULD CAUSE ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING.
