Might sound crazy, but Wildcat could be good. If the winds are going to hit SW, that means that to strike Wildcat, the winds have to go through the Notch. And if anybody's went through there, you know the weather can be drastically different.

If VT won't get rain till Saturday afternoon, does that means the Whites will stay dry (liquid-wise, snow is ok) till end of day? How about the wind situation? Only late in the day also?

That would be good news for planning Saturday if we have the full daylight to work with.

They may be ok precip-wise as well--maybe some snow showers turning to rain showers in the PM (a southerly flow is upslope for southern Whites...Loon/WV)...winds may still be an issue for them as well.

Is the wind going to be high all day or just PM?

I'm at northern NH. So hopefully it'll be more snow than rain. Or at this point, I'd be happy if it's just as little precip as possible. We've got tons of snow on the ground already. The later the rain comes, the bigger the window we get to play with the snow already on the ground without having to worry about wind hold or wetness.

With a SW flow like this, you can get some showers with the initial surge of warm air working in (minor, light batch in the AM)...THEN you're in the warm sector through the day (mainly dry, some sun), THEN the spotty rain showers just before the bulk of the system late PM/eve. The forecast is a little text heavy but as best as we could get it. Most of the day looks ok.

Mostly all day ABC, sorry. Here's Bretton Wood's forecast which hold out well with winds. A few extra showers for the North Country and may hang onto some snow a bit longer...light spotty precip though.

Oops, sorry Scotty...I had to update Monday a bit. Here it is...not expecting very much. Will watch for a possible flare up as this system departs Monday and will keep you posted.
