Forecast Discussion:
A fairly active weather pattern will continue through the weekend across the
Northeast Kingdom. This afternoon we are watching a storm system move northeast
out of the Ohio Valley. As it advances closer to New England, we will see the
chance of showers increase throughout the day. By tonight the showers will turn
to a steady, light rain. The cold front attached to the storm will pass through
the area during the morning hours of Saturday. With cooler air moving into the
region Saturday, it will be tough to shake the clouds. By evening, the skies
will gradually become clearer, and by Sunday morning expect widespread
sub-freezing temperatures across the Kingdom. Another disturbance approaches
the region during the day Sunday, with generally cloudy skies remaining the
theme to close out the weekend. Next week appears to begin generally tranquil
as high pressure crests over the region. Temperatures will be cooler than
average though, as we quickly begin to transition into mid-autumn.
