                        _LSC WEATHER CENTER FORECAST
                      5:00 PM, Saturday April 17, 1999
                   STUDENT METEOROLOGIST: Damian Lampman_
       _** The latest forecast for Northeast & North Central Vermont**
       ** The area bounded by Waterbury, St. Johnsbury, and Newport**_


   _
   This Evening/Tonight: Mostly cloudy with rain showers, becoming less
   numerous late at night. Some wet snow or sleet may mix in with the
   rain from time to time and especially at the higher elevations.
   Temperatures falling back into the mid-30's, along with a light and
   variable wind.

   Sunday: Mostly cloudy with the chance of some isolated rain showers.
   Highs reaching into the upper-40's to around 50. The wind will be from
   the west at 5-10 mph.

   Sunday Night: Continued mostly cloudy with the just a slight chance of
   an rain or snow shower early. Temperatures dipping down into the
   lower-30's. The wind will be light and variable.

   Monday: The mostly cloudy and cool weather will continue into the new
   work week, with temperatures once again topping out only in the
   upper-40's. There will also be the chance of some more isolated rain
   showers. The wind will be from the west at around 5 mph.

                             Extended Forecast

   Tuesday: Partly sunny and warmer. Highs in the lower-50's. Lows in the
   mid-30's.

   Wednesday: Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain showers. Highs in the
   upper-40's. Lows in the mid-30's.

   Thursday: A mix of sun and clouds. Highs in the 50's. Lows in the
   30's.

                            Forecast Discussion


   The damp and dreary weather will be will us in the North Counrty for
   the next 48 hours, as area of low pressure passes over our area this
   evening to merge with an upper-level feature over the Canadian
   Maritines. This setup will be giving our area some rain showers
   through tonight, and the the threat of some isolated showers thru
   Monday. There is the possiblilty of some snow or sleet mixing in with
   the rain tonight as there is some rather cold air aloft which could
   cause the mix of liquid and frozen precipitation. The weather beyond
   Monday looks to improve only slighly, with the possiblity of some
   sunshine existing for Tuesday, but a return to the chance of showers
   for Wednesday. Beyond the showers of mid-week the the sun and mild
   temperatures that we all expect for spring should start to make a
   return.
