Forecast Discussion:
A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for our area. Our first major snowstorm
is currently making its way towards the Northeast Kingdom. Expect snow showers
to develop during the evening hours. The snow will then become steady and
heavier after midnight. The steady snow will continue into Monday, possibly
mixing with sleet at lower elevations. The precipitation will taper to snow
showers during the afternoon, but not before leaving 6 to 10 inches of the
white stuff on the ground, with higher amounts possible in the mountains.
Mostly cloudy skies with intermittent snow showers will continue into Tuesday
with some more light accumulation possible. Wednesday looks mostly cloudy as
well. Temperatures will remain below average throughout the forecast period.
