Did You Take Your Vacation This Week: You Lucky Dog!

After a year that has so far brought more than our share of weather drama, it's kind of nice to see that most of the nation is having pretty quiet weather this week.

A nice summer day on Lake Champlain in Vermont

this week. Enjoy!   

Yes, there's still a flood threat in the Southeast, and the West still has big forest fires which aren't going away any time soon. But at least there's no extreme storms on the way in our immediate future.

Up here in the Northeast, it's going to be a delightful week, with warm weather and plenty of sunshine for those trying to get more beach time in before school starts.

A cold front will probably cross the Northeast Thursday with some showers and thunderstorms, but that's pretty much it for weather this week.

Most places will be in the 80s all week, and then trending cooler toward the weekend, especially up here in Vermont, the rest of northern New England and northern New York. But at this point, it still looks gorgeous next weekend, too, with highs in the 70s.

So unless something unexpected comes along, it looks like smooth sailing all week. Except maybe Thursday, but you can't have everything.
