Winter Weather in Vermont, February 25, 2001

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
945 PM EST SAT FEB 24 2001

GOING FORECAST IN REAL GOOD SHAPE AND ONLY CHANGES WILL BE VERY
MINOR...ESSENTIALLY JUST KEEPING THE FORECAST CURRENT.  DRY AIR
MASS IN PLACE OVER THE FORECAST AREA WITH DEW POINTS IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS OR BELOW ZERO.  EVAPORATIVE COOLING WILL LIKELY BE A FACTOR
IN HAVING PRECIPITATION START A LITTLE LATER WHICH GOING FORECAST
HAS ALREADY TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.  SIGNS OF THIS ALREADY OCCURRING
OVER PARTS OF WEST CENTRAL NEW YORK WHERE RADAR IS
FILLING IN BUT NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF PRECIPITATION IS
ACTUALLY REACHING THE GROUND.  THUS PRECIPITATION SHOULD BEGIN AFTER
MIDNIGHT ACROSS NORTHERN NEW YORK AND TOWARD THE MORNING HOURS IN
VERMONT. TEMPERATURES HAVE MOST LIKELY REACHED THEIR LOW ALREADY AND
TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE SLOWLY RISING DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS
CLOUDS CONTINUE TO INCREASE. WILL INDICATE THIS IN THE UPDATED
FORECAST. OTHERWISE...SNOW AMOUNTS/WINDS/POPS IN REAL GOOD SHAPE.

SEE NO REASON TO CHANGE THE SUNDAY PERIOD...THUS ALL ADVISORIES TO
REMAIN IN PLACE.  UPDATED ZONES AND WSWBTV TO BE ISSUED BY 1000 PM.
