NBC Five First warning weather. The area's certified most accurate
forecast.
All right, let's head down to Windham County this evening.
This is the view in Brattleboro.
29° there. You can't tell.
I can't tell whether there's fresh snow on the ground
there or not.
But there was outside my house.
It was a shock. Tyler,
you were shocked. Did you have to shovel or
did? The plow came through and it's not much,
but you know, wow, it was green grass on Sunday.
It was just weird. So now you got a little
covering and then we'll add to it Thursday night and
Friday,
which will be good, which we need it.
And gusty too. I'm surprised you know,
you're still your hair is in one piece.
There he is. There he is with the hair.
We had a 45 mile per hour gust at the
NAP State Airport today and
also saw Manchester, NH had
56 mph, so cold. But then the wind chill was
an added element to what was going on today.
But it is nice to have the clear sky just
one more time to enjoy all that blue.
I think probably all of us,
we have 100% sunshine tomorrow morning and then the clouds
will come in,
but they'll be higher clouds in the afternoon.
The snow doesn't really start till mostly after the evening
commute tomorrow,
so that's why the winter weather advisory is up.
Now it's a little deceiving in that you might look
at this and go,
oh, if I'm in Brattleboro,
I'm not getting snow. I think everyone gets snow.
The value in this map is this.
The shaded areas get the most,
pretty much 4 to 8 inches in a lot of
those shaded areas.
But we'll have the map here in just a SEC.
The clouds in the Northeast Kingdom will slowly melt away
tonight,
but you weren't quite as lucky during the daytime today.
Usually how it goes, the clouds linger there the longest.
This sliver of clear night is going to be right
over us tonight.
And then the clouds will thicken up because the snow
that you see here getting into Minneapolis will be here
tomorrow evening into
Friday. So it's only 17 in Saranac Lake,
16 in Saint Jay right now.
Here comes the sunshine for tomorrow morning.
The brightest part of this
well almost five day stretch is tomorrow morning,
8:00 to about 12 noon tomorrow.
And then in the afternoon,
the clouds really come in the snow,
though not really till 7/8 9:00 tomorrow.
I think the most widespread snow is tomorrow evening after
dark,
so that is when it will be slippery and slow
travel.
On Friday, it's mostly just mountain snow that continues.
So if you're on Route 100 or somewhere near Malone
or South of Malone,
yes, it still snows on Friday.
But for most of us,
the snow shuts down. Clouds linger,
some breaks of sunshine. The snow map looks like this.
2 to 4 inches in the lowest of elevations like
Plattsburgh and Burlington,
but 4 to 8 from alone,
4 to 8 in the Newcomb area,
8 plus. At J, that darkest blue color is 8
plus.
And notice as you travel North and South on route
100,
it's about 4 to 8 inches with some lollipops higher
than that.
One of them is almost always J,
just as an example, almost a foot of snow expected
there right before Presidents Day weekend begins.
So let's check in on how things look right now
with meteorologist Andrew Grotsky.
How's it going?
Hi, Tyler. Yeah, I am live at Jay Peak right
now.
I'm here in the stateside parking lot and not noticing
any more snow falling at this point through the day.
Today the northern Green Mountains,
especially Jay Peak have been noticing that upslopes snow very
localized,
but it's been continuing a lot of the day so
I want to switch things over to the roof Cam.
You can see it is cloudy overhead right now at
Jay Peak,
but the snow is pretty much winding down at this
point.
I did notice along Route
242 in the area right around Montgomery and coming up
to Jay Peak the road is snow covered and also
here in the parking lot it is snow covered with
a little coating as well.
A lot of this is what fell through the day
today.
And the other story is,
of course it's been breezy as you've been mentioning Tyler,
but especially right here near the mountain at Jay Peak,
the wind has been enhanced a little bit.
You can see some drifts of snow coming right through
the parking lot right now.
There have been some gusts
on multiple occasions up around
40 mph here right at the base of Jay.
So of course with it,
the air temperature being around 11 degrees,
that wind chill is well below 0 as well.
So the snow is wrapping up.
A lot of this has fallen earlier,
it's just cloudy for the time being.
But of course, we have seen about 5 inches here
at Jay Peak today and several more inches of snow
on the way later this week.
So that's some good news for the ski lovers.
It won't be super cold this weekend either.
So, Tyler, for more on the forecast,
moving ahead here, I'll send it back to you.
All right. Thanks. Yeah, you can see the snow swirling
around there in the parking lot.
So we've got a cold night tonight,
single digits and teens as the sky clears out.
If you've got some clouds where you are right now,
I think they'll be pretty much all gone first thing
in the morning.
So the sun will wake you up.
That's always nice, unless you're up earlier than that.
But the point is it'll be very bright tomorrow morning.
Temperatures right around 30° for the high in the Champlain
Valley tomorrow.
So it's a lot warmer and there's barely any wind.
So if you put all of that together,
it feels a lot warmer tomorrow than what we had
today.
And then the snow comes in mostly after dark tomorrow
evening.
It lingers in the higher elevations during the day.
Friday, several inches of accumulation.
So travel Thursday night into early early Friday is slow,
and I think there'll be some flakes around Saturday with
clouds,
but it slowly turns brighter through the weekend.
The brightest day Presidents Day weekend is Monday itself.
29 early next week looks pretty good.
38 there with sun on Tuesday.
Could be another system by Thursday of next week.
