                        _LSC WEATHER CENTER FORECAST
                      11:00 PM, Sunday April 25, 1999
                   STUDENT METEOROLOGIST: Jason Lachance_
       _** The latest forecast for Northeast & North Central Vermont**
       ** The area bounded by Waterbury, St. Johnsbury, and Newport**_


   _
   Tonight: If you're heading out for a late night walk, the weather will
   cooperate as it will be a tranquil night around the Northeast Kingdom.
   Clouds will be on the increase, but no rain is expected and
   temperatures will be comfortable with lows falling between 35 and 40
   degrees. Winds will be light.

   Monday: Cloudy skies will reign supreme across northeast Vermont and
   there is a slight chance of a passing shower. Highs will be in the low
   to mid 50's. Winds will be out of the west shifting to the northwest
   in the afternoon at 20-25 MPH.

   Monday Night: It won't be the best night to be outdoors as cloudy
   skies have the potential to produce some snow showers. That's right,
   snow showers! Lows will be chilly, falling into the upper 20's to low
   30's. Winds will be northwest at 10-15 MPH.

   Tuesday: Early morning clouds will give way to increasing sunshine.
   All in all, it'll be a great day to try out those new rollerblades.
   Highs will be in the upper 40's while lows will be in the low 30's.

                             Extended Forecast

   Wednesday: Clouds and sunshine will once again be battling for
   supremacy as variable cloudiness will be the weather story for the
   middle of the workweek. Highs will be in the lows 50's while lows will
   dip to the low 30's.

   Thursday: A nice day will be on tap as it will be partly sunny with
   highs in the mid 50's and lows in the mid 30's.

   Friday: Today will probably be the best day of the workweek as sunny
   skies will dominate with daytime highs in the low 60's and overnight
   lows in the upper 30's to around 40 degrees.

                            Forecast Discussion


   I hope everyone had the chance to get out and enjoy the weekend. After
   a blustery day on Saturday, Sunday turned out fabulous with sunshine,
   warm temperatures, and light winds. Unfortunately, sunshine won't be
   dominating the first part of the upcoming week. A cold front currently
   located to our northwest will slide southeastward overnight, bringing
   clouds and the chance for showers tomorrow. The unsettled weather will
   continue into the middle of the week as atmospheric instability will
   cause cloudiness and possible showers. For the end of the week,
   though, high pressure will build in giving us a fabulous end to the
   workweek. If the weather gets you down, consider this. Parts of
   Wyoming received 6-8 inches of SNOW last night. Have a great week
   everyone.
