Forecast Discussion:
High pressure ridged from central Ontario to the southern Appalachians will shift slowly eastward through tomorrow, bringing quiet but chilly weather to the state. A compact, potent mid-level cyclone will pass just to our north this afternoon, provoking some clouds and maybe a flurry or two over the far northern Green Mountains through the Northeast Kingdom; tonight and tomorrow will be clear state-wide as the HIGH settles overhead. Looking further ahead, an early season nor’easter will take shape over the northeast Gulf Coast Tuesday morning, then turn up the coast. It’ll bring a bout of mixed precipitation here Wednesday night through Thursday night.
