Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:
         Another low pressure system moving north of the region is expected to bring some light precipitation, and strong winds to the region, tomorrow.

         Currently, winds and temperatures are rising across much of the region. In the Champlain Valley temperatures have risen 3-6 degrees in the past hour. Winds have also gone from calm or light and variable to sustained 5-15MPH with gusts ranging from 10-20MPH. Winds will markedly increase over the next few hours and peak out tomorrow late-morning/ early afternoon. At the peak of the strong winds, speeds will range from 20-30MPH with gusts to 50MPH. Over the open waters of Lake Champlain, winds could be slightly stronger. In fact, right now winds over Lake Champlain are mixing nearly 100% down to the surface from 5000 feet above the surface, mainly due to the warm lake waters helping the winds mix down. So, as always in these events slightly stronger winds are likely over the open waters of the lake, and near the immediate lake shore. These areas could see winds at their peak range from 25-40MPH with isolated gusts to 55MPH.

         For the St. Lawrence Valley of New York, Southwest winds of 15-30MPH with occasional gusts of 45-50MPH are possible. The strongest winds in this area will likely be from Ogdensburg to Malone. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing weather situation.
