The next couple of days will be dry before we enter a more active weather pattern. Today will be very quiet, but tomorrow will become increasingly gusty with warm temperatures topping the 70s for most.

South to southeast winds of 10 to 20 mph with gusts of 35-40 mph possible later today and tonight. PLEASE do not burn any yard debris or any campfires. #vtwx #nywx

The combination of dry fuels, low relative humidity's and brisk winds today creates the potential for any fires to quickly get out of control. All of VT and northern NY should take the necessary precautions and avoid any fires or sparks. #vtwx #nywx #firewx

The current wind advisory for the northern Greens has been expanded to include the downslope regions of the northern Adirondacks for gusts up to 45 to 55 mph. Gusts in the Adirondacks will be highest this evening, with the higher winds shifting east for tomorrow. #VTwx #NYwx

Here are the estimated rainfall totals expected for tomorrow's system that will swing through the region.

Periods of rain will move through today and tonight.

💦Rain, with pockets of brief heavy rain, will continue this afternoon. Observed rainfall so far has varied widely from about 0.1" to 0.75" with localized areas of greater than 1". ☔️Where it is not currently raining, we expect precipitation to fill back in by this evening.

Flow is turning northwesterly with showers expected to continue through much of the night.

Any lingering showers will exit quickly this morning and most places will see some sun this afternoon

Yesterdays rain was a welcome sight for many in the drought stricken locations, especially in the Champlain Valley and north and central Green Mountains. Additional light, showery rain is expected tomorrow. Here are the precipitation totals from yesterdays rainfall event:

While we enjoy this brief respite of calm after yesterdays rain, our next system is hot on its heels for tonight and tomorrow. A large upper low across the Great Lakes will move in tonight with scattered showers for tomorrow, and even some lake effect showers in St. Lawrence Co.

As seen in this model-simulated radar loop, there will be a few rounds of showers across Vermont and the North Country overnight tonight into the mid-afternoon hours Wednesday. Embedded thunderstorms will be possible, along with some gusty winds and graupel or very small hail.

An upper low is settling near the Great Lakes. Expect periods of rain showers the next several days. Today may even feature a rumble of thunder and small hail. Areas above 4000 feet may experience some light snow over the coming days as temperatures slowly cool through Friday.

Showers and thunderstorms are moving across the forecast area this afternoon, some even producing small hail. We expect conditions to improve later this afternoon and evening, then shower chances return tomorrow.

Isolated to scattered showers will continue overnight, mainly in areas east/northeast of Lake Ontario as cool air flows over the relatively warmer waters. Otherwise, we expect variably cloudy skies with lows in the mid 30s to mid 40s.

There will be daily shower chances and a cooling trend heading into the weekend. Coverage of showers will be highest today becoming isolated with some high elevation snow showers anticipated. Temps become cooler than seasonal averages over the weekend.

Welcome rain has fallen this week. Image shows rainfall that accumulated from Tuesday evening through this morning. Additional rain fell today as well.

A weak trough will move through today bringing mainly scattered showers for most locations and more numerous showers along higher terrain. Highs will be running in the upper 40s to low 50s. Temperatures will continue to cool heading into the weekend.
