AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
358 AM EDT SAT JUL 4 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A FEW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN 
VERMONT THIS MORNING...FOLLOWED BY ADDITIONAL SHOWERS OVER NORTHERN 
NEW YORK INTO NORTHERN VERMONT THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING 
HOURS. OVERALL...PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT AND SCATTERED 
IN NATURE. TEMPERATURES WILL HOLD IN THE 70S TODAY WITH MORE 
CLOUDS...BUT WILL BE WARMER ON SUNDAY WITH EXPECTED SUNSHINE.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 400 AM EDT SATURDAY...FCST CHALLENGE THROUGH THIS EVENING
WILL BE CHANCES FOR PRECIP AND AREAL COVERAGE OF ANY SHOWERS. 00Z
ALBANY SOUNDING SHOWS A DEEP DRY LAYER FROM 850 TO 300MB WITH PW
VALUE OF ONLY 0.49". HOWEVER...DEEPER MOISTURE CONTS TO STREAM
QUICKLY FROM SW TO NE ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC STATES INTO THE NE
CONUS...AHEAD OF S/W TROF OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND STRONG 25H JET.
IN ADDITION...TO MOISTURE STREAMING INTO OUR CWA...WATER VAPOR
SHOWS EMBEDDED 5H VORT IN THE FAST PROGRESSIVELY FLW ALOFT OVER
CENTRAL OHIO. USING THE RADAR AND COMPOSITE REFLECTIVITY PROGS OFF
THE HRRR THINKING INITIAL SURGE OF MOISTURE NOW LOCATED OVER
CENTRAL PA INTO NY WILL ADVECT NE INTO OUR CENTRAL/SOUTHERN
CWA...WHILE WEAKENING DUE TO DRY AIR ALOFT. BEST CHANCE FOR
MEASURABLE QPF WILL BE SOUTH OF A SLK TO BTV TO MPV LINE THIS
MORNING...WITH PRECIP AMOUNTS GENERALLY < 0.10 ACROSS
RUTLAND/WINDSOR COUNTIES. WILL INCREASE POPS AND MENTION LIKELY
(60%) ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN TWO COUNTIES AND TAPER TO NIL NEAR THE
INTERNATIONAL BORDER. MEANWHILE...THIS AFTERNOON ADDITIONAL S/W
ENERGY LOCATED OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES WILL APPROACH THE
SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY. GFS/NAM AND LOCAL MODELS SHOW ADDITIONAL
RAIN SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED RUMBLES OF THUNDER DEVELOPING OVER THE
SLV/WESTERN DACKS AFTER 18Z. INTERESTING THE LOCAL MODELS SHOW A
WEAK LAKE BREEZE BOUNDARY...ALONG WITH A DIFFERENTIAL HEATING
BOUNDARY DEVELOPING ON EDGE OF CLOUD DECK...WITH SFC BASED CAPE
VALUES BTWN 500 AND 800 J/KG. THINKING SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL
DEVELOP OVER THE SLV/WESTERN DACKS BTWN 18Z- 21Z...AND MOVE
EASTWARD TWD THE CPV VALLEY AROUND 00Z...AND THRU CENTRAL/NORTHERN
NY BY 03Z. HAVE MENTIONED HIGH CHC TO LOW LIKELY POPS TO COVER
THIS SCENARIO LATER TODAY...WITH QPF GENERALLY BTWN A TRACE TO
0.25" IN THE HEAVIER SHOWERS. TEMPS WILL BE TRICKY WITH A VARIETY
OF CLOUDS LEVELS EXPECTED...WHICH WILL HOLD VALUES MAINLY IN THE
70S. A FEW HIGHER VALUES ARE POSSIBLE IN THE SLV WHERE MORE SUN IS
EXPECTED THIS MORNING INTO EARLY AFTN HOURS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 400 AM EDT SATURDAY...NORTHERN STREAM 5H VORT WILL SWING
ACROSS OUR CWA THIS EVENING...WHILE RIBBON OF ENHANCED 850 TO
500MB MOISTURE QUICKLY SHIFTS INTO NORTHERN MAINE BY 06Z. ANY
SHOWERS WILL WEAKEN OR BE EAST OF OUR CWA BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.
WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY CHC POPS DURING THE EVENING HOURS...WITH
THE MAIN FOCUS FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS THE EASTERN DACKS INTO
CENTRAL/NORTHERN VT...INCLUDING THE CHAMPLAIN VALLEY. GIVEN TIMING
OF SHOWERS...SOME EVENING ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE HOLIDAY
MAYBE IMPACTED...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN CPV VALLEY INTO
PARTS OF NORTHERN VT BTWN 00Z AND 03Z. EXPECT AREAS OF CLEARING TO
DEVELOP AFT 06Z WITH 1021MB SFC HIGH PRES BUILDING INTO OUR CWA.
SOME PATCHY FOG/BR IS POSSIBLE TOWARD SUNRISE...ESPECIALLY OVER
THE DEEPER/PROTECTED RIVER VALLEYS OF THE DACKS. LOW TEMPS WILL BE
HIGHLY DEPEND UPON CLEARING...MAINLY 40S MTNS VALLEYS TO MID/UPPER
50S CPV.

SUNDAY AND MONDAY...MID/UPPER LVL RIDGE DEVELOPS ACROSS THE NE CONUS 
WITH WEAK SFC HIGH PRES. STILL NOTICING ANOTHER 5H VORT IN THE NW 
FLOW ALOFT IMPACTING NORTHERN VT BTWN 18Z-00Z SUNDAY...WHICH MAY 
PRODUCE A FEW SPRINKLES. MOISTURE IS VERY LIMITED. PROGGED 85H TEMPS 
NEAR 12C....SUPPORT LOWER 70S MTNS/NEK TO NEAR 80F WARMER VALLEYS ON 
SUNDAY. MONDAY WILL FEATURE MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND MILD TEMPS. 
PROGGED 85H TEMPS WARM BTWN 12C AND 14C...SUPPORTING MID/UPPER 70S 
MTN TOWNS TO LOWER 80S VALLEYS. 

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 400 AM EDT SATURDAY... A HINT OF SUMMER NEXT WEEK AS
HEIGHTS AND TEMPERATURES RISE TO OR JUST ABOVE NORMAL WITH A SURGE
OF MOISTURE AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS ON TUE. THEREAFTER...STILL LOTS
OF QUESTIONS/DIFFERENCES ON TIMING/PROGRESSION OF FRONT THAT
DELIVERS OUR SHRA/TSRA LATE TUE/WED.

REST OF DISCUSSION TAKEN FROM DAYSHIFT AS SAME ISSUES/QUESTIONS OF 
PAST FEW DAYS.

SHORT WAVE RIDGING ON MONDAY BRINGING TEMPS IN THE 80S WITH 850 
TEMPS RISING TO 14-15C WILL BE PUSHING EAST MONDAY NIGHT AND TUE.

MODELS SIMILARLY INCREASING HUMIDITY AND INSTABILITY (1000-2000J/KG 
CAPE) ON TUESDAY AHEAD OF A FRONTAL SYSTEM AS SOUTHWEST FLOW ADVECTS 
MOISTURE INTO THE REGION. SO THAT WILL INCREASE OUR CHANCES OF 
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. LITTLE 
CHANGE IN 850 TEMPS SO TEMPS AGAIN IN THE MID 80S.

WHERE MODELS DIFFER IS ON HOW FAST THE FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH 
WITH GFS BRINGING FRONT THROUGH BY WEDNESDAY MORNING WHILE ECMWF IS 
SLOWER AND BRINGS IT THROUGH LATER IN THE DAY. BOTH MODELS SHOW 
UPPER TROF WEAKENING AND LIFTING NORTH, SO NOT EXPECTING A DEEPENING 
TROF LIKE WE'VE HAD LATELY. THE TIMING OF THE FRONT WOULD MAKE A 
SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN THE CONVECTIVE PROBABILITIES, SO WENT WITH 
A BLEND WITH SHOWERS AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS HANGING 
AROUND ON WED. TEMPS A BIT COOLER ON WED.

SOME UNCERTAINTY CONTINUES THU-FRI AS FLOW ALOFT IS GENERALLY 
WESTERLY WITH WEAK TROFFING SO CAN'T COMPLETELY RULE OUT A SHOWER 
WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR (80/60).

&&

.AVIATION /08Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY...PRIMARILY VFR EXPECTED THROUGH THE
PERIOD...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME IFR/LIFR FOG/BR EARLY THIS MORNING
AT MPV/SLK. WILL SEE INCREASING HIGH DECK OF CLOUDS THROUGH
TODAY WITH SOME ADDITIONAL CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT BY AFTERNOON.
AREAS OF FOG/BR WILL LIKELY DEVELOP 08Z-11Z AT MPV/SLK...BUT
DENSITY AND COVERAGE NOT EXPECTED TO BECOME WIDESPREAD. AN
ISOLATED SHOWER OR BRIEF THUNDERSTORM MAY ALSO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON...BUT
LEFT OUT FOR NOW AS COVERAGE NOT EXPECTED TO BE WIDESPREAD.
OTHERWISE...LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS TONIGHT (EXCEPT SE 7-10 KNOTS
AT RUT) TURN SOUTHERLY AT 5-10 KNOTS ON SATURDAY.

OUTLOOK 00Z SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

06Z SAT-SUN...MAINLY VFR. ISLD MVFR -SHRA OVER THE HIGHER
TERRAIN. MON...MAINLY VFR UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. LCL LIFR FG PSBL
KMPV/KSLK. TUE..MAINLY VFR. SCT MVFR TSRA WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE TUE
NIGHT. WED...MAINLY VFR. SCT MVFR POST FRONTAL -SHRA.
