Morning Forecast March 31, 2026

Good morning!

From the Fairbanks Museum in St. John'sbury, welcome to this morning's edition of an

Eye on the Sky.

Under the cover of darkness, a cold front has stealthily settled at south through Quebec

and appears to be stalling through portions of the Adirondacks and then just south of

about Cernac Lake, east just south of Route 2 through Vermont and into the white mountains

of New Hampshire.

Temperatures behind the front are falling through the thirties.

This cooling may continue for a few to several hours and for areas near and north of the

Quebec border, temperatures won't rise much, holding in the upper thirties and low

forties during the day today.

Meanwhile, southern areas that climbed into the May like sixties and low seventies yesterday

remain mild, mostly in the forties and low fifties this morning.

The front also features an area of rain and showers along and south of the front, some

of it coming down moderate to heavy at times this morning with a few rumbles of thunder

through New York that may edge into Vermont as they fall apart.

This will tend to diminish for time the saft in noon and evening as the first wave of

low pressure works east along the front, followed by another period of rain this evening,

perhaps including some rumbles of thunder and some heavier downpours.

As temperatures cool overnight, it might be cold enough for pockets of freezing rain

to develop near and north of the Quebec border, the best chance across the St. Lawrence

Valley, north of the Adirondacks.

This leads to the potential for some hazardous driving and walking conditions and requiring

the national weather service to post winter weather advisories for the northern border

counties of Clinton, Franklin and St. Lawrence in northern New York.

The front's position will keep much cooler readings in the north, expected to remain

in the thirties north, but climbing into the fifties or remaining really in the fifties

in the south.

The periods of rain along the front tomorrow morning will diminish as this second system

heads east with a few spotty showers tomorrow afternoon.

We expect the front to drift a little bit more to the south through tomorrow night

into thursday morning, at which point high pressure builds east through Quebec, helping

the feeds slightly colder air in, pushing south, temperatures cooling into the upper

twenties and low thirties in the north, in the thirties south to start the day on thursday.

Meanwhile a new storm forms along the western end of the front in the southern plains.

This storm tracks northeast thursday, drawing the front back to the north as a warm front,

however, enough cold air through northern areas could result in some wintery mix, maybe

a little bit of snow, but mostly some sleet or freezing rain as a possibility, especially

as we get into thursday afternoon and thursday night.

The storm then tracks to our north on friday, pulling the front all the way back to our

north, welcoming in another period of mile, but unsettled weather for the Easter weekend,

readings will climb into the fifties and sixties starting on friday, there'll be lots

of clouds, maybe some limited breaks of sun on saturday and rising chance of showers,

and then showers more likely on easter sunday, especially in the afternoon.

Now back to the forecast details, which include winter weather advisories for far northern

New York, tonight through wednesday morning.

For today, periods of rain this morning may be a thunderstorm west of the green mountains

tapering to showers this afternoon.

Highs in the forties, from the Adirondacks and root for north, upper thirties in Quebec,

fifties to low sixties, south.

Tonight, periods of rain and showers perhaps a thunderstorm, some freezing rain near and

north of the Quebec border, quite mild in the south, lows ranging from the thirties to

low forties north, forties and low fifties in the south.

Wednesday, rain or showers likely in the morning, some freezing rain near and north of the

Quebec border, especially the St. Lawrence Valley tapering off midday and afternoon.

Highs in the forties, from the Adirondacks and root to north, upper thirties near and

north of the Quebec border, still the mid fifties to mid sixties across southern sections.

That's the weather story from the Fairbanks Museum in St. John's Bray, make it a great

day.
