| May continues on, green and lush in St. Albans, Vermont. No frost here, but there was patchy frost elsewhere in the state. A nice day today, capped by the chance of a quick, gusty evening shower or storm. |
The very coldest spots included 25 degrees in Saranac Lake, New York. It got down to at least 28 degrees in Island Pond and Gallup Mill, Vermont. But almost everybody else stayed near or a wee it above freezing.
It was hit or miss frost, with some spots seeing a bit of iciness on the grass, while others just down the road got away scot free.
Speaking of hit or miss, there's actually a chance a few places could get some interesting weather to close out the day.
Overall, today will be gorgeous, with a good amount of sun, pleasant temperatures in the 60s and a nice breeze. Perfect May weather.
I mentioned earlier this week, though, we're getting into that summertime pattern of weak disturbances setting off showers and thunderstorms. The kind of weather we get all summer, really.
Well, a weak weather front is forecast to sneak down from Quebec this evening. That just might be enough to trigger some evening showers and thunderstorms, some of them gusty.
The air ahead of the front is dry, and the air behind it is even drier yet. So any showers and storms that form won't have a lot of rain with them.
However, the dry air could help foster some gusty winds with a few of these showers and storms. As some rain falls out of the clouds, a lot of it will evaporate in the dry air on the way down. This will help foster some gust fronts with the stronger cells.
It doesn't look like any of the storms would actually be severe, but a few could briefly contain gusts in the 35-40 mph range. Enough to cause a minor moment of drama for us weather geeks.
If these storms develop, they are most likely in the northern half of Vermont. They'll tend to weaken as they head further south after dark.
