Forecast Posted on Wednesday Mar 11, 2009 09:23
** The latest forecast for Northeast**
** including Caledonia, Orleans, and Essex Counties**

!!! Watches, Warnings and Advisories !!!
COMBINED WITH SNOW MELT, RAINFALL WILL CAUSE AREA RIVERS TO RISE SHARPLY TODAY
AND INTO THIS EVENING AND THE POTENTIAL FOR ICE JAM FLOODING EXISTS ESPECIALLY
IN NORTHERN COUNTIES.


Forecast Discussion:
Rain and rising temperatures are results of a warm front that moved across the
area this morning. This will bring a risk flooding with potential ice jamming
later today. A cold front will then move across the Northeast Kingdom dropping
temperatures which could allow wet roadways to freeze, so exercise caution
later this afternoon and tonight. Friday an area of high pressure will move
east from the Mississippi Valley bringing sunny skies and a much needed break
from precipitation.
