Forecast Discussion:
A cold front is currently moving through our area, bringing widespread showers
and much cooler temperatures. Based on Saint Johnsbury climate data, our
temperatures have been right around the average 30 year temperatures. With this
front passing through, we will see that todays temperatures will be roughly 10
degrees below average for this time of year, and tonight while tonight will not
be so cold due to residual clouds from the front, Saturday night's low will
make us think that winter is beating down our door, with the chance of
widespread frost and freeze warnings likely. Be sure to take care of those
outdoor plants, and be prepared with warm clothing during the nights if you are
planning any nighttime activity this weekend. Other than the threat of rain
today and cooler nighttime temps, the weekend looks to be gorgeous with
rebounding high temperatures approaching the 70 degree mark, which is still
roughly around the climate average for this time of year.
