Heat and humidity give way to thunderstorms

The heat and humidity from the past several days will be nothing but a memory as a cold front moves through later today.  There could be some strong storms out ahead of the front.  The timing of the storms in the NEK appears to be early to mid afternoon.  Should you be outside when one of these comes through,  seek shelter immediately.  After the front clears the area,  we will return to more comfortable summer weather right into the weekend.

4th of July weekend in NEK

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.

Summer weather in full swing

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!
