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!

Summer almost here

Tomorrow,  June 21st, is the first day of summer.  You would think it is more like the first day of fall with the temps we’ve been having over the past few days here in the Northeast Kingdom of VT. On Wednesday the high at least broke 70 degrees with a high of 71°. Yesterday it only got up to 67°. The gusty NW winds made it feel colder than that. Today is another cool day with the same NW winds blowing.  It’s almost noon and the temps are still in the 50’s throughout most of the area. The forecast is calling for a warming trend with sunny skies right through the beginning of next week.  Get out there and enjoy it because after tomorrow the daylight hours start their downward trend toward fall.
