Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
620 AM EST Wed Mar 10 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
If you enjoyed the temperatures yesterday, you'll really enjoy the 
temperatures over the next several days as high temperatures are 
expected to range from the upper 40s to upper 50s. A cold front will 
push through the region Friday afternoon and will bring the return 
of below normal temperatures to the region through Monday before a 
steady warming trend develops by the middle of next week. Scattered 
showers will develop ahead of the front Thursday night into Friday 
morning but rainfall totals will be rather unimpressive.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 617 AM EST Wednesday...The high clouds have begun to
dissipate as expected with clear skies presiding across the
North Country. Temperatures will warm quickly underneath
abundant spring sunshine today with the current temperature
forecast right on track. 

Previous Discussion...High clouds have begun to move into the
region this morning and have really squashed any potential for fog
development. Nevertheless, with multiple reporting sites well past
their crossover temperatures, any areas that aren't under the
influence of these high clouds could see a brief period of patchy
fog prior to sunrise. These high clouds won't linger much into the
morning after sunrise as model soundings show additional dry air
entering the region which should, in essence, help evaporate the
clouds over the region. The net result will be mostly sunny skies by
mid morning at the latest which will continue through at least
sunset. Temperatures will rebound nicely as we continue to see warm
air advection into the region and full sun today. Afternoon highs
will easily warm into the upper 40s to mid 50s.

Winds will increase this afternoon, especially across the northern
Champlain Valley as channeled southerly winds and boundary layer
mixing help support wind gusts in the 20 to 30 mph range. While we
expect some of these winds to weaken as we head into the evening
hours, most places will see winds remain around 10 to 15 mph through
the overnight period. The combination of these winds and increasing
mid-level clouds will yield a very warm night across the region with
lows only dropping into the mid 30s to mid 40s. This should set the
stage for even warmer temperatures on Thursday as we will start
significantly warmer than this morning. Even with abundant clouds
cover on Thursday, we expect highs to climb into the mid to upper
50s with a few places in southern Vermont approaching 60 degrees. We
will have the potential to see some record high temperatures on
Thursday and you can find more information in the climate section
below.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 307 AM EST Wednesday...Cold front will be moving across the
area Thursday night into Friday as a well defined shortwave trough
passes to our northwest. Best dynamics will remain north and west of
the area and convergence not that strong with the front. Thus can
see precipitation amounts decreasing from west to east as the night
wears on. Still looks like a tenth to quarter inch for parts of
northern New York, but a tenth of an inch or less across Vermont.
Air mass behind the front on Friday is not that cold and thus
looking at above normal temperatures continuing with highs in the
mid 40s to mid 50s. Drier air behind the front should limit the
threat of precipitation for much of the day.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 307 AM EST Wednesday...Shortwave trough moves down from Canada
Friday night to bring about a noticeable change to the weather.
First precipitation chances will be increasing across northern New
York and the northern half of Vermont. Snow Squall Parameter
suggests conditions are favorable for some snow squalls across
northeast New York and the northern third of Vermont Friday evening.
Right now the depth of the dry adiabatic lapse is forecast to about
10,000 feet so instability would be present for the convective snow
showers. Would like to see a greater depth to the dry adiabatic
lapse rate for more impactful snow squalls, but something that will
need to be monitored. Winds will be increasing from the north behind
the snow showers and temperatures will be falling as cold air
advection develops. So will need to keep an eye on any flash freeze
potential. Cold air advection on Saturday helps to return
temperatures back to seasonal normals and if anything a couple of
degrees below. Another shortwave trough moves down into the area on
Sunday with northwest flow aloft established over the region. Can
see some additional snow showers with this, but a reinforcement of
colder air on brisk northwest winds. Highs on Sunday will be in the
mid 20s to lower 30s. As high pressure builds in for Sunday night
and Monday the stage should be set for clear skies and light winds
which will promote low temperatures in the single digits and teens.
Despite sunshine on Monday northwest flow aloft keeps us in the
colder pattern with highs once again in the mid 20s to lower 30s.
Tuesday into Wednesday an upper ridge will build in and allow for a
warming trend to take place. Dry conditions will persist with high
pressure over the area.

&&

.AVIATION /11Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Through 12Z Thursday...VFR conditions will continue through the
forecast period with just some mid to high level clouds moving
in from the west this afternoon and overnight tonight. Otherwise,
southerly winds will ramp up across the northern Champlain 
Valley this afternoon with wind gusts approaching 20-25 knots 
after 16Z. Elsewhere, southerly winds of 12 knots or less are 
expected during the daylight hours. After 20Z, a strong low 
level jet is poised to enter the region with wind shear expected
at all terminals this evening and through the overnight period. 
Based on the latest guidance, we will see winds ranging from 
35-50 knots at 2000 ft with the strongest winds across northern 
New York.


Outlook...

Thursday: VFR. Slight chance SHRA.
Thursday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance
SHRA.
Friday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Friday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance SHRA,
Slight chance SHSN.
Saturday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. NO SIG WX.
Saturday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHSN.
Sunday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Slight chance SHSN.
