Your Weather News @ January Edition 2024

We actually had a decent Friday and got in on some sunshine for a change. But this was only the calm before the storm. Another storm system will be moving in overnight with the same kind of weather and effects as the storm that just hit us a few days ago.


Clouds will thicken up through the evening. A little before midnight, snow will move in and quickly overspread the area. Winds will be picking up out of the southeast and become very strong, especially along the western slopes of the Green Mountains where, like the last storm, wind gusts could be as high as 70mph. Wind gusts that magnitude could be bring down trees, limbs, branches, and power lines. Power outages are again likely.


As the warmer air comes in overnight, the snow will be changing to rain showers early Saturday. The winds will settle down in the early afternoon, but then shift around to the west-southwest and pick up again, although not nearly as strong as the overnight winds. Colder air will be moving in late Saturday through Sunday on those blustery WNW winds, so Sunday will be a chilly, blustery day with scattered snow showers.


Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday will be a quieter day, but it will be colder. The cold air will stick around through most of the week.



A coastal system may clip us with some snow late Tuesday into Wednesday. And there could be more snow showers again by the end of the week on Friday.
