409 AM EDT WED OCT 9 2002

A WEAK SYSTEM WILL TRACK NORTH OF THE REGION TODAY...DRAGGING A
DYING WARM FRONT ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF OUR REGION THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.  ETA/RSM PRECIP FIELD ENSEMBLE MEMBERS ARE
CLUSTERING AROUND THE OPERATIONAL RUNS...WITH SUCH PALTRY DYNAMICS
THAT EVEN CHANCE POPS MIGHT BE A WISH.  THE TRAILING COLD FRONT
WASHES OUT AS THE UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD OVER THE EASTERN
UNITED STATES.  SO A PROLONGED PERIOD OF STEADY BUT WEAK WARM
ADVECTION WILL BEGIN TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY WITH A DECREASING CLOUD
TREND.  HOWEVER...THE MODELS ARE SUGGESTING AN INFLUX OF THE
MARINE AIRMASS THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...WITH INCREASING LOW-LEVEL
SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW TO THE SOUTH AND WEST OF THE STRONG ANTICYCLONE
OVER THE CANADIAN MARITIME PROVINCES.  THE MODELS ARE HAVING SOME
DIFFICULTY IN CONVERGING ON THE STRENGTH AND TRACK OF A SHORTWAVE
EJECTING FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY TOWARD THE
NORTHEASTERN U.S.  MODEL TRENDS ARE FOR THE PRECIP WITH THIS WAVE TO
BE SHUNTED SOUTH OF OUR REGION...GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE SURFACE
RIDGE OFFSHORE.  AT THIS TIME HAVE ONLY MENTIONED A CHANCE OF PRECIP
FOR THURSDAY NIGHT...BUT MODEL UNCERTAINTY INCREASES AFTERWARD SO
WILL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE LATER PERIODS OF THE GOING FORECAST
AT THIS TIME.  IT STILL APPEARS THAT A MUCH STRONGER NORTHERN STREAM
TROUGH WILL APPROACH AROUND THE SUNDAY/MONDAY TIME FRAME...AS
INDICATED IN THE EXISTING FORECAST PACKAGE.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
228 PM EDT TUE OCT 8 2002

SATELLITE TRENDS SHOW SOUTHERN EDGE OF CLOUD COVER OVER NORTHERN
LOWER MICHIGAN AND SOUTHERN ONTARIO BEGINNING TO ERODE.  AS A
RESULT...THE POTENTIAL FOR MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES IS INCREASING AS IT
ONCE LOOKED AS IF ENOUGH CLOUD COVER WOULD MOVE INTO THE REGION
DURING THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF
RADIATIONAL COOLING THAT TAKES PLACE.  WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH AS WELL
THIS EVENING AND WITH HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY MOVING EAST OF THE
REGION...IT APPEARS FROST SHOULD BE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD LATER
TONIGHT.  AREA IS OUT OF THE GROWING SEASON...BUT THE MILD EARLY
FALL HAS ALLOWED PLANTS AND VEGETATION TO CONTINUE THRIVING THIS
LATE IN THE YEAR.  FEEL AREAS AWAY FROM THE LAKE WILL SEE WIDESPREAD
FROST WITH TEMPERATURES GENERALLY IN THE MID 20S TO THE MID 30S
EXPECTED TONIGHT.  LOW LEVEL FLOW DOES TURN TO THE SOUTH AFTER
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...BUT SINCE HIGH TEMPERATURES WERE ONLY IN THE 40S
TO AROUND 50 TODAY...IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH TO HAVE TEMPERATURES FALL
RAPIDLY ONCE THE SUN SETS.

POTENTIAL FOR PRECIPITATION ON WEDNESDAY APPEARS TO BE CONFINED TO
THE FAR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.  SHORTWAVE
TROUGH/SURFACE LOW TO REMAIN NORTH OF THE BORDER DURING THE DAY.
WILL HAVE TO GO WITH ADDITIONAL ZONE BREAK UPS TO CONFINE ANY THREAT
OF LIGHT RAIN ACROSS THE FAR NORTHERN ZONES.  BASED ON PRECIPITATION
THAT HAS FALLEN UPSTREAM ACROSS THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF WISCONSIN
AND MICHIGAN...WILL ADD THE QUALIFIER OF LIGHT TO THE RAINFALL.  THE
MAIN THREAT FOR ANY PRECIPITATION ACROSS THIS AREA WILL BE IN THE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS.  STRENGTHENING SOUTHERLY GRADIENT
WILL ALLOW FOR WARMER TEMPERATURES THAN TODAY...LOW LEVEL
THICKNESSES SUGGEST HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 50S ON
WEDNESDAY.

CLOUDS WILL EVENTUALLY BEGIN TO DIMINISH WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY
THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN.  WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT ON
THURSDAY WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT WARMER TEMPERATURES INTO THE
REGION.  LOW LEVEL THICKNESS TRENDS SUGGEST HIGH TEMPERATURES ON
THURSDAY WILL BE A COUPLE OF DEGREES WARMER THAN WEDNESDAY.

GRADUAL WARMING TREND WILL CONTINUE FOR FRIDAY AND ON INTO THE
WEEKEND AS UPPER TROUGH DEVELOPS OVER THE WESTERN UNITED STATES AND
DOWNSTREAM RIDGE AMPLIFIES OVER THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE
COUNTRY.  NO PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED DURING THIS PERIOD WITH THE
NEXT THREAT OF SHOWERS COMING ON COLUMBUS DAY.

WORK ZONES IN ALBWRKCWF BY 300 PM.

                        LSC WEATHER CENTER FORECAST
               [1]Lyndon State College Meteorology Home Page
                      12:00PM, Tuesday October 8, 2002
                    STUDENT METEOROLOGIST: Jill Gilardi
       ** The latest forecast for Northeast & North Central Vermont**
       ** The area bounded by Waterbury, St. Johnsbury, and Newport**

   Tuesday: This afternoon there will be plenty of sunshine. It will feel
   cool with temperatures rising into the lower 50s and winds gusting
   from the northwest at 5-10 mph.

   Tuesday Night: Skies will be mostly clear and winds calm, which will
   be great for viewing at 7pm, the lovely crescent Moon in the
   southwest. Make sure you also take a look in the north because there
   is a chance, just like last night to see the Aurora. Bring a jacket,
   as temperatures will cool into the frosty, upper 20s to lower 30s.

   Wednesday: Clouds will increase throughout the day with a slight
   chance for a sprinkle. Breezy winds switch into the south and highs
   will rise into the low-mid 50s.

   Wednesday Night: Expect mostly cloudy skies and the chance for
   showers. Temperatures will drop into the mid-upper 30s.

                             Extended Forecast

   Thursday: Showers end during the early morning hours and skies slowly
   clear. Temperatures will warm into the upper 50s.

   Friday: Partly sunny and pleasant with highs in the upper 50s to lower
   60s.

   Saturday: Again, partly sunny and warm. Highs in the lower 60s.

                            Forecast Discussion

   A fair weather system moves over us today through this evening,
   subsiding the air. The cool northwesterly flow around the system will
   result in a cool day for the Northeast. Tomorrow it moves into the
   Canadian Maritimes as a weakening storm system in southwestern Ontario
   tracks eastward. The bulk of the rain will remain in Quebec once the
   storm system heads east, which means just scattered showers for the
   Northeast Kingdom, Wednesday night into Thursday morning. The activity
   will be light, dropping around a .10 with spotty higher amounts as you
   head northward towards the border. Dry and pleasant weather then
   settles in through the rest of the afternoon on Thursday and into the
   weekend. Conditions look good on Saturday when the Mens Cross Country
   team competes in the Lyndon State College Invitational.
