Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Vermont Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 17th. Folks, here's the deal. February is still running the show out there. Step outside and you'll feel 21 degrees in the south. Head up through the central valleys and it's 25 degrees. The Northeast Kingdom? Sitting at 22 degrees with a light northeast breeze that makes it feel colder. Southern Vermont sees a chance of light flurries today. Nothing dramatic. Highs struggle into the upper 20s, then tonight you're dropping back to the mid teens. Classic February tease. Now drive north on Route 100 into central Vermont. Clouds hang heavy up here. You've got a better shot at scattered snow showers. Highs barely crack the low 30s. Overnight lows settle into the upper teens. The Kingdom is the cold spot today. Snow showers are likely, adding a dusting to an inch. Highs only reach the mid 20s. Tonight drops to the low teens. Here's the thing. Untreated roads get slick fast after dark, so you'll want to take it slow heading home. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. We're stuck in this almost spring, definitely still winter pattern. Highs creep into the 30s by midweek, but mornings stay frosty. A weak system might bring light snow Tuesday. Nothing scary. The real story? We're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight every single day. Sunrise at 6:45, sunset at 5:30. Your evenings are getting longer and your coffee is getting warmer. Air quality sits in the good range too. Perfect weekend to get outside. Just bundle up, because frostbite doesn't care about your weekend plans. One more thing. If this forecast helped you plan your Saturday, share it with a neighbor. Word of mouth keeps us going. Stay safe out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and you're listening to the 6 AM Vermont Weather Podcast. It's Friday, February 23rd. Folks, Vermont pulled a weird trick overnight. Brattleboro woke up at 29 degrees. Montpelier? A balmy 38. The mountains are warmer than the valleys this morning, and yes, you read that thermometer right. Here's the deal. A warm front is pushing north but stalling out over southern Vermont. So Brattleboro stays trapped in the cold pocket while Montpelier and the Northeast Kingdom ride that milder air. A nine degree spread between south and north, completely backwards from the usual script. Now drive north on Route 100 from Brattleboro. You'll feel the temperature climb with every mile. Central Vermont sits at 38 degrees with the best chance of rain or a wintry mix today. Those above freezing temps mean it's mostly wet stuff. Down in southern Vermont, you're colder but drier. Maybe a few flurries or some drizzle. Up in the Kingdom, you're splitting the difference. About a coin flip on precipitation, leaning toward cold rain or wet snow. Tonight things even out. Southern Vermont drops to the mid 20s. Central and northeast hover in the low 30s. Any lingering precipitation wraps up by midnight. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Saturday brings mostly cloudy skies statewide with highs in the mid to upper 30s. Not bad for late February. Sunday stays mild, though a weak system might sneak in a few snow showers late in the day. Monday and Tuesday keep us in the 30s and low 40s with a mix of sun and clouds. No big storms lurking. We're adding nearly three minutes of daylight every day now. Spring is whispering. Air quality is moderate today, so take it easy if you're sensitive. One more thing. If these morning updates help you plan your day, share us with a neighbor. Word of mouth keeps this going. I'll be back at 9 AM with any changes. Enjoy that extra daylight, and stay warm out there!
