Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:
OVERVIEW
Low pressure over the Great Lake region will continue to move Northeast towards the St. Lawrence River Valley. A new low pressure system is expected to form near North Carolina, and move Northward over Western Vermont. This will result in primarily strong winds and rain.
WIND
Winds will be the primary concern with this storm, especially along the Western slopes of the Green mountains. At this point winds shouldn't be quite as strong as they were on the Dec. 1st storm, but still gusts in excess of 65MPH is likely across the favored downslope areas. Isolated gusts to 75MPH could be possible. Max wind gusts in the Dec. 1st storm were in the 80-90MPH range, so this time around it will be damaging but not quite as bad. Conditions will continue to be monitored closely.
PRECIPITATION
This system will start of with a mix of Snow/Sleet/Freezing Rain, and change over to all rain Sunday afternoon. Precipitation will change back to some snow by late Monday. By then most of the precipitation will be out of the region. Rain totals will range from a half inch in downslope areas to around 1 inch in the favored upslope areas. No flooding is expected. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing storm system.
