Today is one of those perfect summer days with temperatures in the low to mid 70s, light wind and low humidity. Couldn’t ask for a nicer day in my opinion. Last night was on the cool side for July with lows in the 40’s in the NEK. We bottomed out at 45° here in Island Pond.
The forecast is calling for another cool night tonight followed by another beautiful day tomorrow with slightly warmer temps. By Sunday the humidity will be a little higher with a chance of showers by afternoon.
This was the holiday weekend was the weekend of tropical Storm Arthur. Friday wasn’t a complete washout, but we did see a few showers throughout the day and evening. Most towns throughout te area postponed their holiday celebrations and fireworks. Here in Island Pond the parade and fireworks show were scheduled for the 5th already. Saturday was mostly sunny with a pretty heavy wind as Arthur moved off toward Canada. We did have a quick shower just before the fireworks. But, the rain stopped just in time for a wonderful show over the lake!. Sunday was rather windy, too. However, the winds calmed down as the day went on. All and all it was a good weekend in the NEK of Vermont.
Today, , Monday, is mostly cloudy with temps in the low 70s. The dewpoints have been creaping up making it feel a little sticky. The forecast is calling for unsettled weather through midweek with warmer weather and chances of thunderstorms. We should see a cold front come through the region Wednesday with cooler drier Canadian air for a few days.
It certainly feels like summer in the NEK. After a beautiful weekend with temperatures in the 70’s and 80’s with low huhumidity, the dewpoint is now in the upper 60’s. The result is very muggy air. The forcast is calling for the warm and humid air with a chance of thunder storms to stick around most of the week. There is also a chance of a tropical storm developing off the southeast coast and coming our way around the 4th of July. Hopefully it goes out to sea if it does develop so everyone can enjoy the holiday festivities!
