 LABOR DAY MONDAY: Any early morning showers and areas of fog clear out by mid-morning. The northwest wind increases as high pressure moves in and dries the air column out. Dew point temperatures drop. High temperatures are 5-10° cooler than Sunday with the reduced humidity. MONDAY NIGHT: PATCHY FROST POTENTIAL for the north and mountains Tuesday morning as the windmill shuts down. That is the key there. Where the breeze completely drops AND where dew point temperatures fall to around 32° is where the vulnerability for a frost threat exists. Protected valleys north and west of the mountains along the Quebec border region have a better chance. There is also a risk if your area is protected from a light northwest breeze (hello, Fryeburg). NWS Burlington has posted a frost advisory for Essex County, VT, for the northeast kingdom. Expect pockets of fog and/or steam to form around the lakes and rivers as the air-to-water temperature may vary as much as 30-35 degrees. TUESDAY / TUESDAY NIGHT: With the high overhead, expect a carbon copy of Monday, with less wind and slightly cooler temperatures. The high shifts to the east which allows for a southwest flow to develop, which will bump up overnight lows 5-10° higher than Tuesday morning’s low point, with no frost threat. EXTENDED OUTLOOK: It will be cool through Wednesday, warm up into late week, and shower chances will increase heading into next weekend. Be advised that heavy rain is possible on Saturday, with showers around for Sunday. SWITCHING INTO FALL MODE: I’ve posted daily updates since Memorial Day weekend. They have always been popular with the summer folks and vacationers, and I enjoy doing them. With Labor Day’s arrival, the start of school, and the resumption of typical day-to-day life for most, I will shift into tracking impact weather in the short-term and long-term outlooks. I will utilize the website more, but I will do my best to keep the discussions as simple and short as possible. Please understand that the more complex and dynamic storms are, the longer the discussions will be, as there is more information to cover. I will also be working on video production and may have to use it more with complicated events. I will also take time to rest periodically and may post in the afternoons rather than in the mornings during quieter times. I will also work on the website to provide more information and prepare it for winter, along with a couple of other projects I need to do.  Please support PTW as I head into my 14th year in 2025 Always have MULTIPLE ways to receive weather alerts. Stay aware, stay on alert, and stay safe. - Mike PRINT MEDIA: Feel free to quote and cite my work here for your stories.
