(áááWALLááá) ———————– The (áááWALLááá) ———————– The ridge axis shifts to our east overnight, allowing the flow to turn to the south. MId/high clouds will increase from west to east overnight as well in response to the onset of warm air advection This makes for a bit of a tricky low temperature forecast as both the turning winds and the increasing clouds will limit cooling overnight. Lows will likely occur early, especially from the Champlain Valley westward, and will be in the mid teens to mid 20s. Some locations in the Northeast Kingdom could see readings closer to 10F, especially if the clouds hold off longer than currently anticipated. Along with the increasing clouds, we will see a quick round of snow as warm ai advection takes place. The precipitation will lift northward ahea of the warm front late tonight, spreading across mainly northern N after midnight. Snow will become widespread from the St Lawrence Valley eastward along the international border int northern VT by 7-9 am Wednesday. This initial activity will lift north into Canada by noon or so, an expect many areas will see a break from the snow for a good part of the afternoon, excep perhaps far northern areas and the higher terrain. Areas from the Champlain Valley westward will see temperatures warm into the mid and upper 30s, and any lingering precipitation will change over to rain in the wider valleys during the afternoon. The colder air will hold in longer in eastern VT, so precipitation would be more likely to remain snow in these locations as temperatures will remain in the lower
It’s going to be a cold start on Wednesday. temperatures will be in the low and mid 20s with a breeze to make it feel even cooler. There will also be some light snow that will generally leave a little dusting or coating of snow but in a few places it could add up to an inch throughout the morning. By the afternoon showers will turn to rain as we warm up but it will still be light and intermittent. Highs will reach the low 40s with a south wind around 10 to 15 mph.The warm air will stick around overnight with low on Thanksgiving morning only in the upper 30s. Light rain will continue through the overnight tapering to some light rain showers that will fall at times on Thanksgiving. But it won’t be a washout, just a little gloomy and damp at times. It’ll also be nice and warm on Thanksgiving with highs near 50 and a light south wind.If you’ll be out and about on Friday, maybe some shopping, expect another mild day with highs again near 50. Mostly cloudy and pretty quiet. Saturday will be in the mid 40s with just a few spot showers but once again not a washout and we’ll be back to the dry weather on Sunday. Monday night into Tuesday brings our next most substantial shot at rain which could be heavy.Follow the weather team on Facebook: Tom Messner | Caitlin Napoleoni | Tyler Jankoski | Ben Frechette
