Hello to everybody in southern Vermont! We've flipped the switch to Autumn, and I'm afraid summer lovers are going to be pining for warmth until the Spring at this rate. Despite the potential for a couple of warmer periods, the last warm-up appears to arrive the first and/or second week in November. Beyond that, we're heading into Winter, my friends. The coming season will not be like last year's, from what I can see at this point. But, that's off in the future. Let's handle what's transpiring this week, shall we?
For Wednesday, high pressure will move east over our region, and will bring cold air with it. While we'll enjoy substantial sunshine, high temperatures will only reach into the mid 40s in the valley, and upper 30s in the mountainous regions of western Windham County.
By Wednesday night, calm winds and initially-clear skies will allow for radiational cooling to form. This will allow temps to drop into the low to mid 20s overnight! This will be the coldest night of the new cold season, and it just so happens to occur as low pressure makes its move at us for Thursday.
By Thursday morning, we should be overcast, with snow moving in by late morning, the way it looks now. Folks in western Windham County could see 1 to 4 inches of snow from this system before a change to ice and/or rain occurs into the night. Valley locations should see snow, as well, but it will likely only coat grassy surfaces. Still, expect slick conditions in some county locations.
Good day to you, fine denizens of Windham County - I come with meteorological news of varying shapes, sizes, conditions, and temperatures. We've got the potential for quite a variety over the next seven days, so let's jump into the fray together, shall we? The wide view is that...
Whether it's morning, noon, or night when you read these words, I hope you're having a good moment or two. Sometimes that's all we need to make a good day for ourselves. As far as the weather is concerned, we've got no shortage of sunshine on the way to...
Good day to all of you in southern Vermont! After some needed rainfall, we've got a stretch of fair weather on either side of the upcoming weekend. However, the potential exists for Hurricane Matthew to make landfall over Long Island as a Category 1 or 2 storm and pass to the southeast of Windham County with substantial impacts late this weekend. Do I think that's going to transpire? I honestly don't at the moment of this writing (Tuesday), but that...
Good morning, noon, or night to you, and happy autumn! Generally speaking, we've been soaking in sunshine for a very long time. The drought and dry weather has persisted thanks to dominant high pressure in the southeast U.S. But as we move deeper into autumn, there are signs we could experience more stormy weather later in October and into November. For now, fair weather is more likely to be the rule. However, over the next several days into Sunday, the...
Good day to all in the windy hamlets of southeastern Vermont! After a good drink of rain over the past couple days, we have entered back into a fair weather regime. Drought conditions continue, but at least we received a substantial rainfall to help the cause. We do have at least a temporary pattern shift upcoming this weekend and into the middle of next week, but it won't be accompanied by much in the way of wet weather. For Wednesday,
I hope that you're having a good moment whenever it is that your eyes reach this printed page. I also hope that you enjoy autumnal weather conditions, because there will be no shortage of them in the coming week. We do have a couple of chances at rain, and although it's a low chance, we could enjoy a longer-duration rainfall this coming Sunday and Monday, if we're lucky. For Wednesday, we find ourselves in atmospheric transition. A southwesterly flow will...
Hello and good day to you, southern Vermonters. As mentioned in last week's column, the tropical system did make it up this way, but never really affected southern Vermont. The wind we happily did without, but the rain we needed very much. It's unfortunate that we missed out, but we've got a couple chances for wet weather coming up this week. For Wednesday, the remnants of Hermine well to our south and east will begin to be pushed eastward and...
