Forecast Discussion:
The Northeast Kingdom has been spoiled with a stunning stretch of springtime
weather. High pressure suppressed precipitation and clouds well to the south
yesterday as very dry and warm airmass is holding strong across northern New
England. However, the lack of rainfall over the past week combined with
increasing winds on Friday ahead of a cold front will result in a heightened
fire danger. Luckily by Saturday, this cold front will approach from the north
and give the area a chance of some rain showers to mitigate the threat for
fires for the first part of the weekend. With the exception of a few showers
early Saturday, the next few days will be ideal for all outdoor activities.
