Recreational Forecast

Mountain Forecast:
The summits will be obscured in clouds, with an icy mix or rain, possibly a morning thunderstorm, tapering off, as cloud bases rise through the day, with summits emerging from the clouds. Moderate to strong west winds, and temperatures climbing several more degrees. Friday features a mix of sun and clouds, moderate northwest winds, causing temperatures to cool several degrees. The weekend outlook starts with clouds lowering on Saturday, as periods of rain and wet snow spread northeast. Moderate to strong south and southeast winds will give us marginal temperatures, so a mix of snow and rain is possible, especially across the mountain peaks. Sunday should also see the summits obscured in clouds, with rain or snow possible. Temperatures will likely fall, but it is uncertain as to the timing, either earlier or later in the day. Moderate southwest winds will turn to the northwest.

Wind At Lower Elevations:
Winds today from the south to southeast 10 to 25 mph, gusting up to 30 mph east, and 50 mph west of the Green Mountains. Tonight, winds becoming west 10 to 15 mph, gusting 25 to 35 mph. On Friday, northwest winds 10 to 15 mph, gusting to 25 mph east of the Green Mountains. The outlook for Saturday calls for light winds, becoming south 10 to 15 mph, gusting to 25 mph.

Detailed Discussion

It is an icy mess in places this morning – solidifying, literally, April’s reputation for undesirable weather! Low pressure tracked northeast through the Great Lakes late yesterday, wreaking havoc on parts of the Midwest, with a horrendous outbreak of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. This far to the east of the storm, the combination of cold high pressure to our east, and the moisture from the storm arriving from the west, spread snow and a wintry mix in the north, and through much of NH, and a mix or cold rain south. Accumulations of 1 to 4 inches of snow and ice, highest totals northeast, and up to one quarter inch of sleet and a glaze of ice elsewhere have resulted in the glaze of ice, and the Winter Weather Advisories continue through late morning for all areas outside the Champlain and St. Lawrence Valleys. The high to our east, and the storm to our west are also funneling strong south winds into the region, especially from the Green Mountains west, gusting to 50 mph, so additionally, Wind Advisories remain in place through the day for northern NY east into the northern Champlain Valley. Loose objects may blow around, branches and small trees could come down, and a few local power outages possible. These strong winds, with the storm’s track through wester, then northern Quebec, draws another spell of spring-like warmth north into the region, changing any mix to milder rain showers, and temperatures again finding their way into the 50s this afternoon north and east of I-89, and 60s to the south and west this afternoon. The storm continues passing to our north this afternoon, drawing a less-than-impressive cold front east through here tonight, leaving us with seasonably mild air Friday into the weekend. This front should stall to our south, before lifting back north this weekend. There won’t be much cold air in place, so mainly rain showers are expected, increasing on Saturday, mixed with snow in the mountains Saturday night and Sunday, while rain showers linger for most of us.
