AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
646 AM EST TUE NOV 10 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE MOVING EAST OF NEW ENGLAND WILL PROVIDE THE NORTH
COUNTRY WITH DRY WEATHER TODAY. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE
APPROACHING FROM THE OHIO VALLEY WILL BRING SOME LIGHT RAIN TONIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL BRING MORE RAIN
TO THE REGION THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. OVERALL...TEMPERATURES
ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH FRIDAY...THEN TREND
COOLER OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 623 AM EST TUESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTH COUNTRY AT
THIS TIME WILL SLIDE EAST OF NEW ENGLAND TODAY. AS THE HIGH DEPARTS
AND A MID LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHES FROM THE OHIO VALLEY...WE CAN
EXPECT SUNSHINE TO GIVE WAY TO INCREASING CLOUDS. IT SHOULD REMAIN
DRY THROUGH THE DAYLIGHT HOURS...WITH JUST A LOW CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS SOUTH AND WEST PRIOR TO 00Z. WEAK SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT SO WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT. SLIGHT WARMING IN 850MB
TEMPS...SO DESPITE INCREASING CLOUDS WE CAN EXPECT HIGH
TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON IN THE 50S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /7 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 359 AM EST TUESDAY...CHANCES FOR SOME LIGHT RAIN WILL BE ON
THE INCREASE TONIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.
MID LEVEL TROUGH WEAKENS AS IT MOVES ACROSS NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND
DURING THIS PERIOD. SURFACE LOW DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED OFF COAST OF
DELMARVA THIS EVENING. THIS LOW EXPECTED TO TRACK NEAR 40N 70W
AROUND 06Z WEDNESDAY AND THEN PASS SOUTHEAST OF CAPE COD WEDNESDAY
MORNING. MEANWHILE...INVERTED SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDS NORTHWEST INTO
CENTRAL NEW YORK DURING THIS PERIOD. HIGHEST POPS (AROUND 70
PERCENT) FOR TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING INDICATED ACROSS
SOUTHERN PORTION OF FORECAST AREA WITH ONLY CHANCE POPS INDICATED
OVER THE NORTH. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS WILL BE LESS THAN A QUARTER
INCH...WITH JUST A TRACE TO A FEW HUNDREDTHS INDICATED FOR THE FAR
NORTH. MIN TEMPS TONIGHT IN THE MID 30S TO AROUND 40...WITH HIGHS
WEDNESDAY IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S. AFTER ANY LIGHT RAIN
SHOWERS COME TO AN END...EXPECT RATHER CLOUDY CONDITIONS FOR
THE REST OF THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY.

A PERIOD OF SHORTWAVE RIDGING DEVELOPS WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN WAKE OF
DEPARTING TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE...WHICH SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOME
PARTIAL CLEARING. MIN TEMPS EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE LOWER 30S
EAST OF THE GREENS TO AROUND 40F IN THE CHAMPLAIN AND ST. LAWRENCE
VALLEYS.
 
WEATHER CONDITIONS DETERIORATE RATHER RAPIDLY ON THURSDAY AS NEXT
UPPER TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW MOVE EAST FROM THE GREAT
LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY. EXPECT RAIN TO DEVELOP FROM SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST DURING THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON HOURS AHEAD OF WARM
FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW...WITH OCCLUDED FRONT APPROACHING
LATER IN THE DAY. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 0.25 TO 0.50 INCHES EXPECTED
THROUGH THE DAY ON THURSDAY. MAX TEMPS RANGING FROM THE MID 40S
EASTERN VERMONT TO THE LOWER AND MID 50S ELSEWHERE.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 246 AM EST TUESDAY...UNSETTLED BUT SEASONAL CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED DURING THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD FROM THURSDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. POTENT VERTICALLY STACKED LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM CENTERED OVER THE GREAT LAKES THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE THE
PRIMARY WEATHER MAKER FOR THE NORTH COUNTRY THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS
IT SLOWLY SHIFTS NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH SOUTHERN ONTARIO/QUEBEC.
ATTENDING WARM FRONT SHIFTS NORTH OF THE INTL BORDER THURSDAY
NIGHT WITH A MID-LEVEL DRY SLOT BRINGING A BRIEF BREAK IN PRECIP
ON SOUTHWEST FLOW AS THE TRAILING COLD FRONT APPROACHES. AS THE
COLD FRONT SHIFTS THROUGH THE REGION FRIDAY, THE PARENT MID/UPPER
LOW STRENGTHENS WITH FAVORABLE CONDITIONS DEVELOPING FOR UPSLOPE
RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE ADIRONDACKS AND NORTHERN GREENS
FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. CLOSED 700MB LOW PASSES JUST NORTH
OF THE CANADIAN BORDER WITH DEEP LOW/MID LEVEL MOISTURE WRAPPING
AROUND INTO THE NORTH COUNTRY ON NORTHWEST FLOW. PROGGED FROUDE
NUMBERS OFF THE GFS SHOW PRIMARILY UNBLOCKED FLOW FROM 06Z
SATURDAY THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY AND A 925-850MB NORTHWESTERLY JET OF
OF 35-45KTS INDICATING PRECIPITATION WILL FALL CLOSE TO THE
MOUNTAIN RIDGE CRESTS AND ON LEE SIDE. THERMAL PROFILES SUPPORT A
RAIN/SNOW MIX AT THE VALLEY FLOOR WITH PRIMARILY SNOW ACROSS THE
SUMMITS WITH SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW POSSIBLE ABOVE 2000 FEET
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.

BY SUNDAY MORNING DEEP LAYER MOISTURE SHIFTS FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM
THE REGION FOR PRECIPITATION TO TAPER OFF, THOUGH NORTHWEST FLOW
WILL REMAIN SO HAVE KEPT IN SOME LOW CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST KINGDOM. FROM THIS POINT ONWARD IN THE FORECAST, GLOBAL
MODELS ARE IN DISAGREEMENT WITH THE HANDLING OF THE EXITING UPPER
LOW OVER THE GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE AND A BUILDING RIDGE ACROSS THE
CENTRAL CONUS. THE ECMWF IS QUICK TO SHIFT THE LOW OFFSHORE ALLOWING
THE RIDGE AND SURFACE HIGH TO SHIFT INTO THE NORTHEAST BY SUNDAY
AFTERNOON, WHILE THE GFS KEEPS THE UPPER LOW IN PLACE A GOOD 24
HOURS LONGER BLOCKING THE RIDGE'S EASTWARD PROGRESSION. AT THIS
POINT, IT'S ANYONES GUESS WHICH SOLUTION IS RIGHT SO WILL OFFER A
BLEND THOUGH LEAN TOWARDS A DRIER FORECAST WITH SOME LOW CHANCE POPS
ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY...A MIX OF VFR AND MVFR CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH INCREASING CLOUDS THROUGH THE
DAY. CEILINGS CURRENTLY ARE VFR, BUT AN MVFR DECK JUST TO OUR
SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WILL BE SLOWLY MOVING NORTH/NORTHEAST INTO THE
AREA THROUGH THE DAY. MVFR CIGS WILL MOVE INTO KRUT/KSLK/KMSS, BUT
AS THE DECK LIFTS FURTHER NORTHWARD EXPECT IT TO LIFT ENOUGH TO BE
VFR AT THE NORTHERN TERMINALS. CHANCES FOR SHOWERS ALSO INCREASE
FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AFTER 00Z, WITH RAIN MOVING INTO KRUT AFTER
04Z. WINDS WILL BE GENERALLY LESS THAN 10KTS, AND VARIABLE IN
DIRECTION SHIFTING FROM THE SOUTH THIS MORNING, TO
NORTHWEST/NORTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK 06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY... 
12Z WED - 00Z THU...GENERALLY VFR WITH AREAS OF MVFR IN RAIN
SHOWERS.
00Z THU - 12Z THU...VFR UNDER HIGH PRESSURE.
