Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:

OVERVIEW
         Low pressure that tracked through the St. Lawrence Valley, has redeveloped to the East of New England, and will back into Quebec. This will result in snow across the region. Snow could be heavy at times overnight.

SNOWFALL
         Snow is currently falling across much of the region, with the heaviest concentration across the Champlain Valley of Vermont, and New York, and into the Northeastern portions of the Northern Adirondack mountains. Snow is falling moderate at this time in these areas, and should become occasionally heavy as moisture pinwheels down into the region, on a North to Northwest flow. This moisture will also concentrate in an area where there is a tight thermal gradient, helping to enhance the intensity. At this time I have kept the alerts similar to the previous snow event from last week. I am increasingly concerned due to radar trends starting to lean towards the hi-res NMM-ARW model which depicts Warning criteria snow across Grandisle County in Vermont, and much of Clinton County in New York, including the Champlain Valley side of Clinton County, which currently is under no alerts. If conditions become immanent that higher snow totals will occur there, then an Advisory or Warning will be issued. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing situation.
