LSC Northeast Kingdom Forecast

Forecast Discussion

STUDENT METEOROLOGIST: Steve Breault Forecast posted on Friday Nov 20, 2009 13:12 The latest forecast for Northeast & North Central Vermont including Caledonia, Orleans, Essex, and Orange Counties. Low pressure that has been slow to move across the center of the nation the past several days is now zipping east just over the Canadian border this afternoon. This storm system is responsible for the rain we saw this morning, and as the afternoon progresses we only run the chance of scattered showers, despite mainly cloudy skies. Through tonight, moisture in the low levels will be tough to scour out so we should continue with mostly cloudy skies. High pressure begins to build in from the Ohio Valley Saturday and this should help to break up the clouds through the afternoon. Sunday will feature more sunshine as high pressure crests over the region. Throughout the weekend, the jet stream will split in the center of the country with the northern branch extending from the Plains and turning sharply northeast to the west of Hudson Bay. This will keep the cold air bottled up across northern and western Canada while keeping above normal temperatures across the eastern third of the country. Next Update: Friday before 9 PM
