From the Fairbanks Museum in St. John'sbury, welcome to this afternoon edition of the I on the Sky forecast. Showers have now pushed into much of the north and will stime me much if any additional rise in temperatures for the rest of this afternoon. A steadier rain should take hold across the region by this evening, preceding a strong cold front and a reprise of winter-like temperatures for Friday and Saturday. For the rest of today, showers will be likely near and north of Route 2 with steadier falling temperatures in those areas, mainly in the 50s, but only low to mid 40s in the St. Lawrence Valley. Meanwhile, just a chance of showers in the south, mainly southwest, with upper 50s to mid 60s in the south, even some upper 60s far south, wins today from the west to southwest 5 to 15 miles an hour. Showers, presently, are resulting as the front that lifted to our north, now sags back southward as a cold front. This front should reach the Massachusetts border after midnight, but a secondary and much colder cold front will sweep in from our northwest late tonight.
After rain becomes likely early tonight, it will mix with or change to snow showers late, perhaps with a dusting, except becoming all snow over the mountain summits with an inch or two possible there. Winds will become northwest and increase late tonight, along with lows from the upper teens to mid 20s, north and upper 20s to mid 30s in the south, the far cry from the very April-like temperatures we've seen today. On Friday, snow showers will be likely early in the northern mountains, otherwise the chance of an early snow shower and then clouds decreasing in the south, doing so more gradually in the north, especially over high terrain. As they gust to 25 miles an hour northwest, winds on Friday will suppress valley temperatures in the mid 30s to around 40 degrees in southern areas and northern valleys just in the upper 20s to mid 30s. Very cold conditions will persist on Friday night, with lows from 5 to 15 above in northern areas, around 0 in northern cold hollows and in the teens to around 20 in the south.
With cold high pressure becoming centered over the Ohio Valley, Saturday is likely to be even colder than Friday. There will be the chance of an afternoon snow shower or flurry in the Adirondacks on Saturday, and high temperatures will range from the mid 20s to lower 30s north and low to mid 30s in the south. Temperatures will revert to seasonable levels on Sunday, with highs largely in the 40s, the warm-up will continue on Monday, probably more so in southern areas. From Monday in the Tuesday, a cold front will likely knock temperatures back a bit. Rounds of precipitation, largely of rain, then appear likely through mid-week as the front wavres overhead or nearby, creating another large temperature contrast between areas to the north of the front and those to the south. I'm meteorologist Lawrence Hayes with an eye on the sky.
