· Wet weather did not make it for most of NE VT and North central Vermont yesterday – but it will today with showers likely spreading across much of this region.

· Far northern areas of Vermont may still see driest weather, while adjacent New York will see most prevalent showers and a brief embedded thunderstorm or two with few claps of thunder about all this afternoon and evening.

· First half of Tuesday remains wet but then improves with some great weather and likely the pick of the week Wednesday, but possibly Thursday as well.

· Warmest day most humidity comes Friday where temps could reach the mid and possibly upper 80s.

· A Coronal Mass Ejection or solar flare occurred recently aimed toward earth. There’s an elevated chance for the Aurora Borealis Tuesday, possibly OK viewing Tuesday night (partly cloudy). Most of the time this does not work out but we’ll see what might develop.
