· First day of Fall to yield cooler more seasonal temperatures mainly in the 60s today but some cooler upper 50s northern areas.

· Temperatures tomorrow remain cool and in fact temperatures in the 50s and 60s will rule the roost for about the next week or so.

· Rain showers to gradually exit out our region later this afternoon, while our next opportunity for more rainfall not until Monday night-Tuesday.

· Gardeners should be keeping a close eye on some frost possibilities in the colder Northeastern Vermont valleys for Sunday night/Monday morning and possibly Monday night as well.
