This morning is feeling MUCH more comfortable than yesterday with dew points about 10 degrees lower! Yesterday's dew points started off in the upper 60s to low 70s. But after yesterday's cold front passed it became comfier and today's dew points are feeling nice in the 50s!

Very heavy downpours possible this afternoon!💧 There's a lot of moisture in the air with dew points in the upper 60s and low 70s today. That could lead to very heavy downpours, especially within storms this afternoon. Flash flooding is possible due to the threat for downpours, but the risk is low.

Very humid conditions this morning to go with the rain🌧️ A cold front will pass through this afternoon bringing showers, storms, and relief from the humidity. Dew points are in the upper 60s and low 70s this morning but they will drop quickly back into the 50s by this evening.

Make sure to grab a rain jacket before heading out the door!🌧️ Monday morning is starting off with widespread shower activity across Vermont and New Hampshire. Showers will become more scattered through the morning. Then this afternoon plan for more showers and thunderstorms.
