Forecast Discussion:
A winter-like scenario is setting up for the end of the week in the northeast
kingdom. A storm system taking shape in the midwest in the form of an upper
level trough will make its way into our area tonight, which will adversely
affect our weather for Thursday. As the storm redevelops off the coast of North
Carolina, with the bulk of its energy moving out to sea, we will be spared of
the major effects of this winter storm. However, the trough that is supplying
the energy for this redevelopment will pass through, gracing us with widespread
rain showers tomorrow, with snow in elevations above 2500 ft, which will
transition to widespread snow showers with the cooling of the day. As always,
storm track will play a crucial role to the amount of precipitation (and
precipitation type) that we will see, so stay tuned to the LSC weather center
for further updates.
