Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:

OVERVIEW
         Low pressure currently North of the region is slowly strengthening resulting in a tight pressure gradient. The low pressure system should continue to move East-Northeast, and continue to bring strong winds to the region.

WIND
         The primary concern with the system is the wind. Much of the steady rain has moved North and East of the region with just some scattered showers left for this evening and overnight. A tight pressure gradient across our region is resulting in these strong winds. The winds will continue to strengthen this evening, and reach there peak overnight. Sustained winds will range from 15-30MPH with gusts in the 40-50MPH range. The highest gusts should be across the downslope areas of the Eastern slopes of the Adirondack mountains, and across the Southern Green mountains of Vermont. Winds of this magnitude have the potential to bring down weak trees, and tree limbs, resulting in scattered power outages.

PRECIPITATION
         The precipitation has pretty much ended with this storm. Some showers will be possible as winds turn to the Northwest and push any additional moisture into the mountains. The heaviest of showers will be combined to the Northwest upslope regions. A change from rain showers to snow showers is likely overnight. There is a slight chance of some snow flakes in the Champlain Valley if enough moisture is present by the time the temperatures drop.
