5PM, Sunday October 20, 2002
STUDENT METEOROLOGIST: Heather Vieira
** The latest forecast for Northeast & North Central Vermont**
** The area bounded by Waterbury, St. Johnsbury, and Newport**
Tonight: It will feel like winter tonight with very cold temperatures.
Morning lows will be in the upper 20s with a chilly northwest wind
blowing at 10-15 mph. The skies will be remain mostly cloudy
throughout the evening hours.
Tomorrow: The clouds will begin to make its way out of the Kingdom as
a strong Canadian high pressure system moves in. The high temperature
will only make its way into the mid to lower 40s. Winds will remain
brisk with Northwesterly winds blowing at 10-15 mph.
Tomorrow Night: Northeastern Vermont will see another cold night with
lows dropping well into the 20s. Some valley locations could even see
lows near the teens. The skies will remain mostly clear throughout the
night.
Tuesday: On and off sunshine throughout the daytime hours with highs
once again in the lower 40s. The evening will be very cold with lows
plummeting into the 20s. It will be a good night to stay indoors and
enjoy BINGO at the Barton Memorial Building at 6:30pm.
Extended Forecast
Wednesday: Partly cloudy with temperatures very similar to the first
half of the week. Highs will be in the lower to mid 40s and lows will
once again sneak down to the 20s.
Thursday: We will see slightly warmer temperatures, with highs nearing
the 50 degree mark. Lows will also not be as bitterly cold, with
temperatures in the mid-upper 30s. It will be a much better day to
come out and watch the Lyndon State College women's soccer team take
on Castleton State College at home around 3pm.
Friday: Most of the day will remain cloudy with some showers making
its way into the region during the night. Highs will be near 50, and
lows in the mid-upper 30s.
Forecast Discussion
The very strong cold front that brought heavy showers into the
Northeast Kingdom Saturday has moved off the coast. Behind it, we saw
very chilly temperatures today. The rest of the week will be very
similar to today, with highs in the lower 40s and lows in the mid 20s.
This is due to a powerful high pressure system that is filtering into
our area very cold dry Canadian air. The high pressure will stick
around throughout the majority of week making the weather feel more
like winter. If you plan on venturing out during the night or early
morning hours, plan on bundling up in your winter clothing. This will
be the last good week to get out and enjoy the fall foliage as we are
just about peaked across the region.
