DISCUSSION

As of 1247 AM EST Friday...

KEY MESSAGE 1: Large scale troughing will continue to dominate the weather through the weekend, but there will be no significant storm systems. The nor'easter will stay well to the south and east, so no snow is expected in the region from it. Its only effects look to be increased northerly winds on Sunday and a few high clouds. Snow showers will develop during the rest of the night and into the day today as moisture descends from the northeast as part of weak warm air advection. A few of these could linger into Saturday in the mountains. Due to a relatively stationary pattern, the air was able to wrap around off the North Atlantic and down through Quebec so it will technically be marine modified. The coldest day will be today with highs in the single digits for most places. Highs over the weekend will be in the teens for most places, and lows look to be in the single digits above and below zero, but they could end being a bit lower if there are less low clouds and the boundary layer is able to decouple.

KEY MESSAGE 2: Only very slight chances for light snow showers at times through the period. Maximum temperatures will be in the teens to lower 20s, and minimum temperatures will be in the single digits above and below zero. Some indications that an upper level trough could bring some snow showers and maybe temperatures closer to seasonal normals late next week.

EQUIPMENT

NOAA Weather Radio station WXM-44, transmitting from Mt. Ascutney, Vermont, on frequency 162.475 MHz is non- operational at this time. NWS technicians have diagnosed the problem, but repairs will likely not be able to occur for quite some time due to circumstances beyond our control. Therefore, the time of return to service is currently unknown. The following NOAA Weather Radio transmitters may be able to provide service during this outage: WWG 50 from Burke Mtn, VT at 162.425 MHz and WNG 546 from Hanover, NH at 162.525 MHz.

The Colchester Reef meteorological station is out of service. This site is not serviced by the NWS and there isn't an estimated return to service at present. Use extra caution when navigating the broad waters of Lake Champlain. Please contact us if you observe winds significantly deviating from the recreational forecast.
