Sunny today in North Country before showers move in

Posted

Mainly clear skies early this morning will give way to increasing clouds through the day today, but the National Weather Service says the North Country will see one more dry day today before the clouds spread showers over the region starting tonight, Saturday and Saturday night.

Meanwhile, Hurricane Dorian will track northeastward off the New England Coast tonight through Saturday, and will bring higher winds to Vermont, but the NWS says it will have little effect on winds here.

Highs today could be a couple of degrees warmer than yesterday’s with readings in the upper 60s to mid 70s expected, but the trend, forecasters say, is for below normal temperatures Sunday through early next week with highs in the mid to upper 60s and lows in the 40s to low 50s.

The NWS forecast for the St. Lawrence Valley and northwestern Adirondacks:
