...Breezy Winds Today, Rain Arriving Tonight...
.DISCUSSION...
Dry conditions are expected to continue for much of the day today,
with increasing cloud cover ahead of our next chances for
precipitation. Breezy easterly winds are expected across southern
Vermont today, with gusts up to 25 mph with localized higher
gusts the western slopes of the southern Greens. Minimum RH values
this afternoon will generally be between 40% and 50% this
afternoon. Breezy easterly winds will continue with downsloping
off the western slopes tonight, however, precipitation will arrive
late tonight into Monday, which should mitigate any fire weather
concern heading into Monday. Wetting rain between 0.5-1" is
expected in southern Vermont by Monday afternoon, with up to 0.25
inches in the Adirondacks and central Vermont. Much drier
conditions are expected near the international border and the St.
Lawrence Valley.
