AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
401 AM EDT SUN JUL 5 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BOTH ALOFT AND AT THE SURFACE 
WILL SLOWLY BUILD INTO THE NORTH COUNTRY TODAY AND CONTINUE
THROUGH EARLY THIS UPCOMING WEEK. THIS WILL RESULT IN CLEARING
SKIES AND WARMING TEMPERATURES TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS. A SPOT
SHOWER IS POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHERN VERMONT TODAY...HOWEVER THE NEXT
CHANCE FOR WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE TUESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 400 AM EDT SUNDAY...WATER VAPOR SHOWS MID/UPPER LVL TROF 
DIRECTLY OVERHEAD WITH FINAL 5H VORT AND WEAK RIBBON OF ENHANCED MID 
LVL MOISTURE ACROSS NORTHERN NY ATTM. THIS ENERGY AND MOISTURE WILL 
MOVE EAST INTO NORTHERN VT TODAY...RESULTING IN SOME SPRINKLES/LIGHT 
SHOWERS OVER THE NEK. OTHERWISE...GIVEN PLENTY OF BOUNDARY LAYER 
MOISTURE AND TEMPS REACHING CONVECTIVE VALUES EXPECT DIURNALLY 
DRIVEN FAIR WEATHER CUMULUS CLOUDS TO DEVELOP. THESE CLOUDS WILL 
HAVE LIMITED VERTICAL GROWTH DUE TO DRY AIR ALOFT AND BUILDING 
HEIGHTS ASSOCIATED WITH RIDGE. PROGGED 85H TEMPS WARM BTWN 12-14C 
TODAY AND WILL SUPPORT HIGHS MID/UPPER 70S NEK/MTN TOWNS TO LOWER 
80S CPV/SLV WITH A FEW WARMER READINGS IN THE MID 80S POSSIBLE NEAR 
BTV AND MSS.  

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 400 AM EDT SUNDAY...MID/UPPER LVL RIDGE BUILDS 
OVERHEAD FOR TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...WITH LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE 
EXPECTED. THIS DEEP DRY LAYER AND WARMING THICKNESS VALUES WILL 
SUPPORT ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS ON MONDAY WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND 
SOUTH WINDS. PROGGED 85H TEMPS WARM ANOTHER DEGREE OR TWO WITH 
VALUES BTWN 14-16C...SUPPORTING HIGHS WELL INTO THE 80S. ON MONDAY 
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...MOISTURE NOW LOCATED OVER THE MS VALLEY AND 
ASSOCIATED 5H CIRCULATION IS EXPECTED TO LIFT TWD THE NE CONUS AHEAD 
OF NEXT TROF. BOTH GFS/NAM AGREE ON QUICKLY ADVECTING 850 TO 500MB 
MOISTURE INTO OUR REGION ON MID LEVEL SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 30 TO 40 
KNOTS. MODELS ALSO IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND 
EMBEDDED STORMS ON TUESDAY MORNING ACROSS OUR CWA...AHEAD OF 
APPROACHING COLD FRONT AND DIGGING MID/UPPER LVL TROF. 

FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON IT EXTREMELY CHALLENGING TO DETERMINE AREAL 
COVERAGE/INTENSITY OF STORMS...GIVEN THE POTENTIAL PRE TROF MOISTURE 
AND SHOWERS...COMBINED WITH DELAYED ARRIVAL OF ACTUAL SFC COLD FRONT 
AND DYNAMICS ALOFT. AS IN MANY CASES ALREADY THIS SUMMER...BEST 
DYNAMICS AND CONVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH BOUNDARY LOOKS TO OCCUR AFT 
00Z WEDS...WHEN INSTABILITY IS MINIMAL. IN ADDITION...BEST 0 TO 3 AND 
0 TO 6 KM SHEAR VALUES LAG BEHIND THE ACTUAL FRONT AND ARE CLOSELY 
TIED TO THE MID/UPPER LVL TROF OVER SOUTHERN CANADA LATE TUESDAY 
AFTN. MY THINKING IS THAT WE WILL SOME SOME SHOWERS/EMBEDDED STORMS 
WITH INITIAL SURGE OF 850 TO 500MB MOISTURE AND EMBEDDED VORT BTWN 
15Z-20Z TUESDAY...FOLLOWED BY SOME CLEARING AS OUR CWA WILL BE BTWN 
SYSTEMS. THIS WILL HELP TO DESTABILIZE THE REGION WITH SFC BASED CAPE 
VALUES APPROACHING 1500 J/KG BY 00Z...BUT BETTER FORCING/FRONT IS 
STILL WEST OF THE SLV. AS FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE REGION BTWN 03Z-
09Z SFC INSTABILITY WILL BE LIMITED AND THE BEST DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS 
LOCATED TO OUR NORTH...SUPPORTING A BROKEN LINE OF SHOWERS WITH 
EMBEDDED STORMS. GIVEN SCENARIO NOT EXPECTING ANY SEVERE...BUT A FEW 
STRONGER STORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY DOWN POURS WILL BE 
POSSIBLE. HAVE NOTED PW VALUES SURGE AHEAD OF BOUNDARY BTWN 1.60 AND 
1.80". TEMPS ON TUES WILL BE TRICKY WITH CLOUDS...BUT 925MB TEMPS 
WARM TO NEAR 20C...SUPPORTING HIGHS IN THE MID/UPPER 80S...WITH 
INCREASED DWPTS...MAKING IF FEEL MUGGY/SUMMER-LIKE. 

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 400 AM EDT SUNDAY...NUMERICAL MODELS ARE 
COMING AROUND TO A CONSENSUS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PERIOD THUS MAKING 
AN INCREASING FORECAST CONFIDENCE THAT HAS BEEN LACKING AS OF LATE.

THERE IS GENERAL CONSENSUS THAT SHORT WAVE AND SURFACE FRONT MOVE 
NORTH AND ACROSS REGION TUE NGT/WED FOR SHRA/TSRA THREAT SLIDING 
EAST AS WEDNESDAY PROGRESSES. THEREAFTER...MODELS HAVE MERGED TO A 
SIMILAR SOLUTION OF PREDOMIANT ZONAL FLOW WITH ANY POTENTIAL SHORT 
WAVES IN THE FLOW MINOR WITH A DISCONNECT TO ANY MOISTURE TO THE 
SOUTH. THEREFORE...DO I DARE SAY IT A DRY PERIOD FOR THU-FRI AND 
POSSIBLY SAT BEFORE ANOTHER SHRA/TSRA THREAT SUNDAY.

AFTER A WARM TUE...SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES IN THE LONGER TERM WITH 
HIGHS IN THE 70S/80 AND LOWS IN THE 50S/60S.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THROUGH 06Z MONDAY...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH
THE PERIOD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LOCALIZED IFR/LIFR IN FOG/BR
EARLY THIS MORNING AS CLOUD DECK SCATTERS OUT AND RADIATIONAL
COOLING COMBINED WITH LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE DUE TO
YESTERDAYS RAINFALL WILL LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOG/BR WITH IFR/LIFR
STILL LIKELY AT LEAST FOR A TIME AT MPV/SLK. 

ANY FOG/BR LIFTS AND SCATTERS OUT AFTER 12Z WITH ONLY SCATTERED
FAIR WEATHER CUMULUS EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF TODAY. WINDS LIGHT AND
VARIABLE EARLY (EXCEPT SE 4-5KT AT RUT) TURN WESTERLY ON
SUNDAY...BUT REMAINING LESS THAN 10 KNOTS.

OUTLOOK 00Z MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... 
06Z MON - 12Z TUE: VFR. IFR FOG POSSIBLE AT KMPV/KSLK 08-12Z MON.
12Z TUE - 00Z THU: VFR W/SCT MVFR TSRA POSSIBLE. 
00Z THU - 00Z FRI: VFR. EARLY MORNING IFR FOG POSSIBLE AT
KMPV/KSLK.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
KTYX RADAR WILL BE OUT OF SERVICE UNTIL TUESDAY OR LATER.

&&

.BTV WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
VT...NONE.
NY...NONE.
