Nor'Easter To Strike The Region Tonight Into Monday








Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:
         The National Weather Service in Burlington, VT has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Rutland and Windsor Counties for 3-5 inches of snow by Monday afternoon.

         The National Weather Service in Albany, NY continues a Winter Storm Watch for the potential of 7 or more inches of snow, with a trace of ice accumulation, by Monday afternoon.

         Champlain Valley Weather has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Bennington, Windham, Windsor, and Eastern Rutland Counties in Vermont for 6-9 inches of snow with up to a tenth of an inch of ice accumulation. Also a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Western Rutland County for the potential of 3-6 inches of snow.

         Currently, everything appears to be on track with this storm system. Right now a 1000mb low pressure system is over central Tennessee, and is starting to transfer its energy to the coast. The low pressure system should continue to move Northeast and up to around Southern West Virginia, where it will then transfer the rest of its energy to the new low pressure system over the Delmarva Peninsula. This low pressure system will then continue to move Northeast, and pass to the east of Cape cod.

         This track will result in precipitation starting as a Wintry mix over the area late this afternoon, and rapidly change to snow, and become heavy at time overnight before ending by Monday afternoon. Total snow accumulation remain unchanged from the previous post, and the map I issued last night at the top remains unchanged. Stay tuned for further updates.
