                        _LSC WEATHER CENTER FORECAST
                       11:00PM, Friday April 22, 2000
                  STUDENT METEOROLOGIST: Dina R. Freedman_
       _** The latest forecast for Northeast & North Central Vermont**
       ** The area bounded by Waterbury, St. Johnsbury, and Newport**_


                       _FLOOD WATCH FOR ALL OF VERMONT


   Tonight: Tonight just might be one for the record books for the
   snowiest April ever! Periods of rain and snow will continue throughout
   the night with snow accumulations in the higher elevations like the
   LSC campus of about 1 to 2 inches on the grassy areas. Fog will also
   be a problem tonight as this cooler air moves over the warmer land.
   Winds will be light and out of the southeast with temperatures tonight
   hovering around freezing.

   Saturday: The sun is not going to be out this weekend at all! Rain
   will continue all day with mixed precipitation in the morning expected
   for higher terrain. Saturday might be a good day to check out the Home
   show down at the Fenton Chester Arena. High temperatures will be in
   the lower 40's with light winds out of the southeast.

   Saturday night: Rain will continue throughout the night so if you like
   puddle stomping this might be up your alley. Low temperatures will be
   in upper 30's.

   Sunday: The easter bunny might need and umbrella and you might need
   some goloshes to hunt for eggs! Rain will continue throughout the day
   with the approach of yet another system to our north. High
   temperatures will be in the lower 50's and lows will be in the lower
   40's. Winds will be shifting to easterly and be around 5 mph.

                             Extended Forecast

   Monday: As we head back to work from the holidays a strong northerly
   wind will be greeting us making it feel blustery outside. Light rain
   showers will continue thoughout the day. High temperatures will be in
   the upper 40's with lows in the low 30's.

   Tuesday: The color gray will continue to be over our heads with
   another day of light rain. Winds will still be gusty with high
   temperatures in the lower 50's with lows in the low 30's.

   Wednesday: Partly cloudy skies will return for the area, enjoy it
   while you can! High temperatures will be in the lower 50's with lows
   in the low 30's.

                            Forecast Discussion


   Well I hope these April showers bring lots of May flowers, really now,
   it's spring, enough with the winter like conditions! Snow will
   continue to be a problem in the higher elevations tonight with light
   accumulations. However, down in the valley of the very damp
   Lyndonville, rain will also continue through tonight and for the next
   3 days, at least. Please be careful driving around and even walking,
   river and stream heights are going to be on the rise for the next few
   days. Please also be cautious of the soccer field, the overflow of the
   Passumpsic river is making the field look more like a lake and is no
   place for children to play. Fog will also be a driving problem tonight
   and into tomorrow morning. A strong low pressure system is moving very
   slowly to our south over the mid atlantic states and we will be
   recieving the Easter and Passover gift of rain showers througout the
   next few days. Rain will be very heavy at times and total
   accumulations will easily be close to 2 inches. As the low heads out
   to sea it will leave us with yet another basket full of blustery and
   cold northerly wind instead of candy! Wednesday looks to be the next
   half way decent day to head down to Carmen's and get some ice cream,
   believe me, I can't wait!
