Forecast Discussion:
Our first major snowstorm is continuing to produce winter like conditions all
throughout the Northeast Kingdom for Monday night and into Tuesday morning.
Currently, an area of low pressure located over the Saint Lawrence Valley will
weaken overnight as another low pressure system located east of Cape Cod
continues to strengthen and allow for more snow to fall throughout our region.
For Monday night, expect periods of snow showers and below average temperatures
with lows ranging in the mid teens to lower 20s. Additional snowfall
accumulations of 3 to 5 inches with higher amounts in the higher elevations
expected. On Tuesday, we should see the storm system begin to move north and
eastward away from our region and allow for lingering snow showers throughout
the day. An additional 1 to 3 inches of snow with higher amounts in the higher
elevations. Total snowfall accumulations of 8 to 14 inches with even higher
amounts in the higher elevations. Make sure if you have to venture out on the
roads be sure to allow yourself plenty of extra time to reach your destination
safely. On Wednesday, we will see mostly cloudy skies with scattered snow
showers throughout the day with little to no snowfall accumulation expected.
High Temperatures for the next couple of days will remain 10 to 15 degrees
below average.
