712 FXUS61 KBOX 080614 AFDBOX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA 214 AM EDT Thu Oct 8 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... No significant changes to the forecast. && .KEY MESSAGES... - Mostly dry weather prevails through Sunday with the exception of a few scattered showers Thursday. Highs consistently in the 60s after a warmer Thursday. Saturday morning may be frosty in spots. - The next quick moving round of rain comes Sunday evening and overnight, exiting sometime on Monday though confidence in exact timing is low. Not expecting any flooding or damaging winds at this time. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1...Mostly dry weather prevails through Sunday with the exception of a few scattered showers Thursday. Highs consistently in the 60s after a warmer Thursday. Saturday morning may be frosty in spots. High pressure dominates during this stretch of weather once we get past today as a pre-frontal trough and a moisture starved surface cold front coming swinging through this morning. Just enough moisture to squeeze out some isolated showers, mainly in the early morning (west) and late morning/early afternoon (east). Kept only a slight chance of showers at most, though many will stay dry. After a period of increased cloudcover with the frontal passage clear skies return in the afternoon and overnight. As sprawling high pressure expands overhead this will lead to cool and dry weather through much of if not all of Sunday. Cool NW flow around the high causes 925mb temps to drop from 15C today to 8-10C Fri/Sat leading high temps to struggle to escape the low to mid 60s. The airmass moderates Sunday as return flow kicks in behind the exiting high. KEY MESSAGE 2...The next quick moving round of rain comes Sunday evening and overnight, exiting sometime on Monday though confidence in exact timing is low. Not expecting any flooding or damaging winds at this time. Confidence remains moderate to high that our next rain event arrives late Sunday/Sunday night and is quite progressive as the remnants of Tropical Storm Isaias are swept up in a northern stream trough. This ushers it through rather quickly before deepening over the Gulf of Maine. While moisture parameters are good, at least over southern parts of the area, the progressive nature of the system will limit rainfall amounts and mitigate flooding issues. On the whole this looks to be a fairly typical rain maker for the region without hazards from flooding or damaging winds. Guidance generally paints a picture of a quarter inch or less for northern MA to 1.25" along the south shore in closer proximity to the better forcing and moisture. Ensemble probabilities of >1" of rain are essentially NIL except for 10-20% along the immediate south coast. && .AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Forecaster Confidence Levels... Low - less than 30 percent. Moderate - 30 to 60 percent. High - greater than 60 percent. 06z TAF Update...High confidence. VFR conditions continue through Friday.

High - greater than 60 percent. Tonight through Friday...High confidence. A SW low level jet ahead of an approaching cold front will result in SW wind gusts of 20-25 knots early this morning and persisting into Thu afternoon. Small craft advisories are in effect for most of our waters. Wind gusts should drop below small craft thresholds later Thu and especially Thu night. Friday high pressure will be approaching leading to W winds 10-15 kts gusting to 20 kts. Outlook /Friday Night through Monday/... Friday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft.

Mountain & avalanche safety

Know before you go
Check today's avalanche bulletin from the regional avalanche center before any off-piste / side-country / backcountry travel. Conditions can shift dramatically between morning and afternoon on storm days.
Carry the gear, know how to use it
Beacon, shovel, probe. Practice companion rescue on a calm day, not during a real burial.
Mind the weather window
Heavy snow + wind builds wind slabs at ridgelines. The day after a storm is often the riskiest in the backcountry, even if the resort itself is open.
Respect closed terrain
Ropes are there for a reason. Even in-bounds, ducking a closure can trigger a slide that catches you and others below.

FAQ

About Middlebury College Snow Bowl

Where does the snow data for Middlebury College Snow Bowl come from?

Snowpack, SWE, 24-hour snowfall, and air temperature come from the nearest USDA NRCS SNOTEL station. Forecast comes from the National Weather Service / yr.no feed that Snoflo's iOS app uses.

How often is the snow report updated?

Snowpack and SNOTEL data are updated continuously by NRCS (typically hourly). The 15-day weather forecast is refreshed throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- look for the "as of" timestamp on the snowpack hero.

What's the elevation at Middlebury College Snow Bowl?

See the Resort Metrics panel above for base / summit / vertical drop. The summit elevation drives snowpack accumulation -- higher summits hold snow longer through spring.

How is "% of normal" calculated?

Today's snowpack is compared to the average snowpack on this calendar day across every recorded year at the nearest SNOTEL. 100% means right on average; 130% is a big year; 60% is thin.

What ski resorts are near Middlebury College Snow Bowl?

See the Other Ski Areas pill grid at the bottom of the page for resorts within driving distance. The sister Other Ski Areas card in the Plan-a-longer-trip grid above shows the closest few.

Can I get alerts when fresh snow hits?

Yes -- snow alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this resort, set a snowfall threshold (e.g. "alert me when 6+ inches"), and you'll get a push the moment the SNOTEL crosses.
