Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
412 AM EDT Fri Jul 16 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms this morning will be 
followed by cooler and briefly dry weather. Then rain chances 
increase with widespread rain now expected by late Saturday, with 
steadiest and heaviest rainfall over southern counties. After drying 
out and warming up gradually from Sunday into Monday, a seasonably 
strong cold front will arrive on Tuesday to promote organized 
showers and thunderstorms. with more showers possible, with drier 
and cooler weather arriving in its wake. Temperatures will be near 
or a bit below normal during the upcoming week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 411 AM EDT Friday...An area of decaying showers is 
currently exiting the northern Adirondacks. Model soundings in 
this area show meager CAPE and high cloud bases with abundant 
dry air supportive of weak shower activity, with perhaps some 
gusty winds but nothing hazardous expected. Slightly better 
moisture and instability is currently over the eastern Champlain
Valley, so showers could get a little stronger and have 
maintained a slight chance of thunder with this activity through
just the next few hours across northern Vermont. These showers 
are associated with a piece of relatively strong upper level 
energy moving eastward across the North Country early this 
morning, which also has promoted moderately strong south to 
southwest winds across the Champlain Valley and higher terrain.

After sunrise, a cold front oriented from southwest to northeast
over eastern Lake Ontario towards Ottawa will sweep through 
northern New York and northwestern Vermont. In response will be
weak cool air advection on west winds, which will be locally 
gusty but the flow is not particularly strong. Temperatures will
also be suppressed by gray skies, with stratus and 
stratocumulus expected, as water vapor imagery shows moist air 
lingering behind the front. Rapid clearing will then occur late 
in the day, which will set the stage for potential drier air 
lagging behind. Farther south and east areas, including much of
eastern Vermont, partial sunshine is expected. That heating will  
lead to just enough instability to work with some additional 
upper level support to develop a few low-topped showers with a 
rumble of thunder possible. In these areas, such as the lower
Connecticut River Valley, temperatures will recover a bit better
with 80-85 readings anticipated. With light winds and drying
overnight, will need to watch for areas of fog developing
especially where it rains this afternoon. Lows across the North
Country will be cooler with mid-50s to low 60s in most places.

For Saturday, we will see the approach of a frontal wave
currently in the vicinity of Missouri that is now progged by all
available model guidance to move northeastward into our area as
we move through the day. Broad lift and warm air advection will
promote increasing coverage of showers that will transition 
into a stratiform, wetting rain that will spread into southern 
portions of the region by evening. Sufficiently dry low level air across 
northern areas may help keep these areas rain-free for the
daytime hours, but have at least slight chances advancing up
through the Northeast Kingdom late in the afternoon. Lowering 
and thickening cloud cover associated with this system will mean
temperatures likely will be warmer as you go north, with highs 
near 80 by the International Border and low to mid 70s in the 
Adirondacks and southern Vermont. 



&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 344 AM EDT Friday...Better consensus among 00Z NWP guidance
suite concerning rainfall potential for Saturday night into Sunday.
Overall, 00Z GFS, NAM, and ECMWF indicate a more amplified mid-level
trough and more well-defined surface frontal wave tracking ewd 
across Central NY Saturday evening, and eventually exiting ewd 
into the Gulf of Maine during Sunday afternoon. The more 
amplified flow pattern is expected to bring better nwd moisture 
advection and a period of stronger frontogenetic and large-scale
forcing, especially during the overnight hours Saturday night. 
Both the 00Z NAM and GFS indicate PW values of 1.7-1.8" 
advecting nwd in advance of the mid- level trough during 
Saturday night. Have increased PoPs to 70-90% (highest in south-
central VT) as well as QPF, and indicated a stratiform rainfall 
Saturday night into Sunday morning. Storm total rainfall will 
range from 1-1.5" across central/s-central VT into Essex County 
NY, 0.5-1" rainfall across the remainder of the northern 
Adirondacks into the Champlain Valley, and generally <0.5" nwd 
toward the International Border. Widespread cloud cover will 
contribute to rather uniform low temperatures in the upper 50s 
to lower 60s, with highs on Sunday low-mid 70s south, and closer
to 80F across the northern Champlain Valley and St. Lawrence 
Valley where prospects exist for partial breaks and afternoon 
sunshine. Should see quieter conditions Sunday night as mid-
level trough departs ewd. However, narrow surface ridge axis and
moist soil conditions suggest favorable conditions for fog 
formation as skies clear Sunday night. Low temperatures Sunday 
night once again in the upper 50s to lower 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 344 AM EDT Friday...Highest rainfall chances during the
extended forecast period occur on Tuesday (PoPs 60-70%). Global
deterministic guidance continues to indicate an intensifying mid-
upper level ridge across the Intermountain West. In response, strong
nwly flow across central Canada and embedded shortwave troughs will
tend to reinforce the mid-upper level trough across the eastern
Great Lakes into New England. The 00Z GFS and ECMWF continue to
show the most robust upper jet streak and mid-level trough axis
moving into our region from sern Ontario on Tuesday, with the 
potential for widespread shower activity and embedded 
thunderstorms, aided by potentially steep mid-level lapse rates
in the nwly flow regime. Lower chances for showers exist 
Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday of next week. The overall upper 
flow pattern favors temperatures near seasonal averages with 
modest humidity levels. Highs Monday/Tuesday should reach the 
lower 80s in valley sections, and generally 75-80F for 
Wednesday/Thursday.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Through 06Z Saturday... An area of scattered showers will cause
brief low visibilities at SLK, PBG, and BTV between 06Z-09Z, 
and showers are also possible at EFK and MPV mainly from 12-15Z 
in advance of a diffuse cold front. Strong flow aloft ahead of 
the front is causing some low level wind shear which is 
indicated at some terminals, and some of these winds are mixing 
to the surface with periods of gusty south or southwest winds. 
The front will cause winds to gradually shift to westerly and 
northwesterly in the 12Z to 18Z period and will tend to diminish
by 00Z.


Outlook...

Saturday: VFR. Chance SHRA.
Saturday Night: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Chance
SHRA.
Sunday: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Chance SHRA.
Sunday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance SHRA.
Monday: VFR. Chance SHRA, Chance TSRA.
Monday Night: VFR. Chance SHRA, Slight chance TSRA.
Tuesday: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Chance SHRA,
Chance TSRA.
