Forecast Discussion:
Forecast discussion goes here.As the low pressure system from last night
continues to move northeast towards the Gulf of Maine, the Northeast Kingdom
will continue to be affected by its associated precipitation. Upper air aloft
has warmed up just enough to allow for freezing rain to fall on top of the snow
and sleet accumulation, making already hazardous road conditions even worse. As
the morning progresses, the rain will change back over to sleet and eventually
snow showers by the afternoon, with an additional light accumulation expected
during this time. By the nighttime hours, clearing will begin to occur, as high
pressure will move in and stabilize the region. Colder air will be in place
over the weekend, with lows dipping below zero degrees on Saturday night before
leveling out to seasonable conditions on Sunday.
