We're tracking a soggy Saturday with some downpours especially in the Upper Valley. Here's where to expect a few thunderstorms that could be on the stronger side.
We finally got a decent soaking rain last night, especially through the Champlain Valley and west into the Adirondacks. And another cold front will roll through tomorrow bringing more beneficial rainfall. But then next week we'll be cool and dry again.
Sunshine emerging today, before a second round of rain arrives for tomorrow.
In the last 24 hours we've seen between a trace and about an inch of rain. The highest rainfall totals are to the west of and through the Champlain Valley. And the majority of tomorrow's rainfall looks like it will mostly be to the south and east of the Champlain Valley.
Most of the rain has moved off to our east this morning, but there are still a few lingering showers in our region. Those lingering showers will dry up this morning and the sunshine will be returning today. Then more rain is on the way for tomorrow.
Tracking much needed rain moving in this evening. Here's the latest futurecast on what to expect, and how much rain could fall now through Saturday.
A Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued for the shaded area until Sep 04 3:45PM. If you are in the warning area, seek shelter in an enclosed building immediately.
Take a look at the difference! In just a month, our region has gone from just being abnormally dry to having severe drought conditions. We are expecting some good soaking rain over the next few days, but we'll be dry again after that.
Fire danger today is VERY HIGH! It's a beautiful day today, but the dry and breezy conditions are causing an elevated fire risk. Any fires that start today will spread quickly and be difficult to contain. Please use caution and properly discard cigarettes.
Our weekly drought monitor update is now showing SEVERE DROUGHT🌵 34% of Vermont, all of northern New Hampshire, and part of Essex County, NY are now in a severe drought. While we do have some beneficial rain on the way, it will NOT be enough to get us out of the drought.
As the first round of wet weather rolls in later today, there's a chance for some gusty thunderstorms. The areas of northern New York that are shaded in dark green have a marginal risk for a few strong or severe storms later today. Rain will likely start moving in around 3-4pm.
Tomorrow will be warm and windy which will lead to an elevated fire risk. But much needed rain returns overnight Thursday into Friday and again Saturday afternoon to help bring some needed relief.
If you're enjoying the warm summer-like temperatures, you'll love tomorrow's forecast! Temperatures today are hanging out in the upper 70s to low 80s and it looks like tomorrow will be even warmer thanks to a brisk southerly breeze that will be picking up.
Another warm, sunny start to the day tomorrow and the sun sticks around for most of the day! But more clouds will filter in through the late afternoon and evening ahead of a good soaking rain coming tomorrow night🌧
A foggy start to Wednesday morning🌫 But once the fog lifts, we'll have a good amount of sunshine again! Today will almost be a repeat of yesterday with a chance for a few showers and storms in and around the mountains and highs in the upper 70s and low 80s.
We're running above average tomorrow and Thursday, but a big drop in temperature expected by this time next week. Conditions will be feeling a bit more October-like by next Monday!
Clouds fading to more sunshine through our Tuesday, but there could be a spotty shower or thunderstorm especially over the northern mountains.
There's a chance for a few isolated showers today and tomorrow, mostly in and around the mountains. But the better chance for rain comes with two cold fronts that will be entering our region late Thursday. Most of us will see between 0.5" to 1" of rain by early Sunday morning.
A brief warmup into the midweek before temperatures drop end of week. This is all due to a cold front bringing us a few chances for rain... here's how cool and how wet to expect things to get.
Happy September 1st!🍁 Through the month, we'll see our average high temperatures go from the upper 70s into the mid-60s. And if you've been enjoying the cool mornings there are more on the way. By the end of the month average morning low temperatures will be down into the 40s.
