Southern Vermont might still eke out a decent wetting over the next several days. But unless there's an abrupt change in the forecast, northern Vermont will miss out.
The first disturbance came in yesterday with ominous afternoon clouds in the north which amounted to......about three raindrops.
It seems like days in advance, we think we're going to get a soaking, then it turns out not to be a big deal.Thi
Let's walk through the forecast;
TODAY
The warmest day of the week. Then gloom overhead should break up somewhat to become a variably cloudy day. Highs should get well into the 70s, with some banana belt warm valleys touching 80 degrees. One of summer's last gasps.
THURSDAY
We're in a squeeze play between a front to the south that will have a little disturbance riding along it and a cold front coming in from the north.
This setup looks like it will create some rain in the south. But questions remain as to how far north this might get. Varying computer models disagree so we might have some surprises. For now. maybe a quarter to a third of an inch of rain might come down in southern Vermont. That would gradually taper off to a trace to a tenth of an inch north.
Again, results may vary.
We're into September now, so we're more likely to see just plain rain rather than scattered showers and thunderstorms. So, probably no thunder tomorrow. Highs should make it into the low and mid 70s for most of us so not bad.
FRIDAY
We'll squeeze in a classic autumn day. We should have sunshine with highs in the 60s to near 70. A brisk northwest breeze will add a chilly bite to the air. Humidity will plummet, says the National Weather Service, setting us up for a chilly night with frost possible in colder places again
SATURDAY
Dawn Saturday is looking a little colder than the nippy one we experienced yesterday. Just a couple degrees makes a big difference on whether you'll see frost or not. Only one or two isolated areas had frost yesterday. Saturday morning, this frost might hit a few more of the colder hollows of northern and central Vermont.
I imagine some places might end up falling under a frost advisory. Stay tuned for updates. The rest of the day should be more typical September. Highs in the 60s with maybe some increasing clouds.
The next rainy system looks like it would arrive Saturday night and Sunday. Early indications are this one could, once again, go by to our south, but there's plenty of time for that forecast to change
