Forecast Discussion:
We’ve been in a very cool pattern lately with temperatures running 10-20
degrees below average over the past several days. Thursday has been no
exception The average high in St. Johnsbury for Thursday is 58 degrees. As of m
id-afternoon, Lyndonville has only gotten into the mid-30s. Temperatures look
to moderate over the next couple of days, but will still be about 10 degrees or
so below average. We have a low pressure system brushing by to our Thursday
afternoon, and that, along with an upper level trough, has been providing us
with some cloud cover. A ridge passes through Thursday evening, which will
clear out some of those clouds, but by Friday morning, more clouds move in with
a trough of low pressure moving through. A weak ridge will provide some partial
clearing for Saturday before another low pressure system develops to our south,
providing clouds and possibly some rain showers (snow showers at higher
elevations) on Sunday. The storm slowly passes to our south and east, leaving
unsettled conditions for Monday, before a ridge clears us out for Tuesday.
