Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
620 AM EDT Tue May 11 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
An unsettled and cool weather pattern continues across the
forecast area today with scattered showers developing and
temperatures mainly in the 50s. Additional showers are possible
over Vermont on Wednesday, before a drying trend develops for
Thursday into Friday. Temperatures will be warming back into the
60s by Thursday with lows mainly in the in the mid 30s to mid
40s.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 618 AM EDT Tuesday...Quick update to remove frost advisory
from eastern Rutland/Addison counties, as combination of
winds/clouds have held temps mainly in the mid 30s overnight
with limited frost formation. Otherwise, did bump hourly temps
upward in several locations, as SLK is crntly 39F. Rest of fcst
in good shape.

Water vapor shows our next closed 5h/7h circulation just north 
of Lake Superior with elongated 5h vort approaching the northern
Great Lakes. This energy and associated 7h ribbon of enhanced 
moisture wl approach our northern cwa by 18z this aftn. 
Expecting the areal coverage of widely scattered showers to 
increase, especially near the International Border and expanding
southward by 00z. Based on steepening sfc to 3 km lapse rates 
and moisture btwn 800-700mb, expecting high based cumulus cloud 
field to develop btwn 15-18z today, which wl limit additional 
heating/instability during the aftn hours. This idea results in 
minimal CAPE values of 100 to 200 j/kg when best s/w dynamics 
arrive, so while the thunder chances are not zero, the coverage 
wl be minimal<10% and have not mention in fcst attm. Also, while
thermodynamic profiles are cold enough to support some 
hail/graupel, uncertain exists if updrafts wl be strong enough 
to produce this threat. The best forcing from 5h vort and axis 
of deepest moisture arrives btwn 22z-03z acrs our northern cwa, 
therefore have the highest pops of 45 to 60%, along with the 
highest qpf values of 0.10 to 0.20 acrs the northern Dacks/Green
mtns. Temps today wl be cool with clouds developing and progged
925mb temp only in the 3-6C range, supporting upper 40s SLK/NEK
to mid/upper 50s elsewhere. Tonight, areal coverage of precip 
decreases aft 06z with some low clouds possible, as modest llvl 
caa continues on northwest 925mb to 850mb flow of 25 to 30 
knots. The combination of pres gradient and clouds, should limit
frost formation acrs our fa with lows in the lower 30s to lower
40s. Weds...mid/upper lvl trof prevails with additional s/w 
energy dropping acrs central/eastern VT, including the NEK btwn 
15z-18z. This energy, along with 850 to 500mb RH > 80% supports 
the idea of additional showers, mainly over VT. Have continued 
with chc pops (35 to 45%) on Weds, as temps warm back into the 
50s to near 60F.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 356 AM EDT Tuesday...For Wednesday night, quiet conditions
expected with deeper moisture departing eastwards. Anticipate a cool
night under northwest flow with lows in the 30s to near 40. During
the day, weather conditions will feel quite pleasant. Building
heights and increased atmospheric thicknesses should yield pleasant
temperatures amidst northwesterly flow. Anticipate highs to reach
the low to mid 60s. Late in the evening, a density boundary will
propagate southwards from Canadian surface high descending across
Hudson Bay in Canada. Some showers will develop with diurnally
driven instability across Quebec Province and shift southeastwards.
Depending on the strength of the incoming upper ridge, portions of
our forecast area could be affected, or the focus could shift east
towards New Hampshire and Maine. Thus, the most likely chances for
precipitation will be displayed for the Northeast Kingdom around 8
PM Friday, and slight chances will exist across the remainder of our
northern tier.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 356 AM EDT Tuesday...We are definitely transitioning towards
summer based on the weaker jet stream, along with the chances for
diurnally driven convection just about every day in the extended.
Synoptic models are depicting some convection on Friday; however,
the upper ridge will be shifting directly overhead. Thus, this
forecast will depict a slight chance for much of the region, but
better odds over the high terrain. Saturday looks a bit better for
afternoon showers, mainly since there will be warmer afternoon
temperatures in the lower 70s and an upper trough that will wash out
across the eastern US. Then on Sunday, a remnant surface trough will
shift across the region with some weak warm advection. There will be
more CAPE available, approaching 500 J/kg, but rising heights may
put a damper on convective development.

Heading into the new week, synoptic models diverge on forecasting
the speed and strength of two northern stream shortwaves. Monday
will likely be relatively dry as the upper ridge looks to be at peak
strength over the North Country, suppressing convection over the
area. How the middle of next week will play out will depend on
whether the upper ridge maintains strength or begins to break down
as these shortwaves translate eastwards. Ensemble prediction systems
offer no clear path for precipitation chances, but it seems likely
that temperatures will warm above seasonal normals.

&&

.AVIATION /10Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Through 06Z Wednesday...Expecting vfr conditions into Tuesday,
with exception of a period of mvfr cigs possible at slk btwn
09z-14z this morning. Otherwise, as mixing increases expect
localized winds to increase at 10 to 20 knots from the
westerly direction by mid morning. Widely scattered showers
develop aft 18z with increasing areal coverage toward 00z,
especially near the international border. Have utilized vcsh
wording to cover potential in tafs. Soundings support high
convective cloud bases btwn 5000 and 6000 ft today, but lowering
toward mvfr conditions at mss/slk/mpv aft 00z this evening. 

Outlook...

Wednesday: VFR. Slight chance SHRA.
Wednesday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Thursday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Thursday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Friday: VFR. Slight chance SHRA, Isolated TSRA.
Friday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Saturday: VFR. Slight chance SHRA, Isolated TSRA.
