Forecast Discussion:
After a rainy day Wednesday, the Northeast Kingdom will be graced with a nice
stretch of weather through this weekend as an area of high pressure builds in
from the west. This area of high pressure will also keep the area protected
from an active weather pattern across the southern United States. Expect mixed
clouds and sun through this evening as strong northwest flow helps trigger
terrain-induced cloudiness over the mountains. Luckily, the sunshine will
return in full swing on Friday with deep blue skies and lighter winds. The
first part of the weekend will be dry but with warming temperatures and
sunshine. Nighttime lows over the next few days will be very cold with some
places dropping below zero, especially Thursday night. This means with daytime
highs by the weekend above freezing and nighttime lows below freezing, it will
be prime weather for maple sugaring.
