Another Smattering Of Strong Storms In Vermont Today

A storm bubbles up over northwestern Vermont on Saturday.
Today looks similar to Saturday as partly sunny skies
get interrupted by scattered storms, some strong. 

It looks like today in Vermont is going to be a bit like Saturday was:

In other words, we'll be dodging some thunderstorms, and some will be strong.

It's only moderately warm and humid out there today. And there's a weak cold front approaching.

That doesn't sound like the perfect setup for severe storms, and it's not. But the atmosphere has more instability than you'd expect from my description, so some of the storms this afternoon will get strong to marginally severe.

It will totally be hit and miss, like Saturday was. Most of us won't have any big deal weather, while a few pockets will.

The best chances of severe weather, if any develops, would be northeastern New York, all of Vermont, especially north of a Middlebury to Thetford line, and western New Hampshire.

As far as timing goes, it looks like the 2 to 8 p.m. slot looks best for the storms.

So the usual applies: Keep an eye on the sky. Head indoors if things look threatening. And be prepared, in just a few spots, for strong gusty winds, some hail, dangerous lightning and brief, heavy downpours.

You know, the usual summer drill.

Wednesday, we go back to partly sunny skies with temperatures down a bit again.
