Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
446 AM EDT Tue Jul 19 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Today will be mainly dry outside of isolated thunderstorms this 
afternoon and evening. Storms will be capable of strong winds and 
small hail. Heat and humidity will be with us through the next 
several days, peaking on Wednesday and Thursday when heat index 
values will reach into the low 90s in many locations.
Widespread showers and thunderstorms will sweep eastward on 
Thursday, followed by more chances of showers and thunderstorms over 
the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 427 AM EDT Tuesday...
*Strong thunderstorms possible today*
*Hot and Humid conditions on Wednesday*

Active weather continues today with isolated to widely scattered
thunderstorms. Good heating and associated dry adiabatic lapse rates
will eat away at the morning CIN, with CAPE growing into the 1000 to
2000 J/kg range and exist as a relative maximum across the
northeastern US. The latest SPC day 1 convective outlook shows a
marginal (level 1) risk of severe thunderstorms areawide in an
environment with effective shear in the 30 to 40 knot range. I
believe this coverage was expanded southward in deference to
somewhat varied CAM depiction of storm initiation. In today's
convection, uncertain mesoscale triggers, rather than a larger
synoptic scale forcing, will be capable of generating strong
updrafts out ahead of any more organized storms late in the day. The
potentially organized thunderstorms will be associated with a 
strong low pressure system in northern Quebec, as it will be 
dragging multiple boundaries southeastward. The first one may 
trigger thunderstorms that move across northeastern Vermont, 
where scattered thunderstorms are forecast for the early 
afternoon. CAMs have somewhat varied ideas as to if 
thunderstorms will be triggered due to differential heating 
farther south during the afternoon. West/west-northwest flow 
will also tend to advect somewhat drier air into the region. 
Soundings show a vertical V shape that support potential 
damaging wind and large hail threats for the strongest 
thunderstorms that develop today.

The main focus for Wednesday will be increasing heat as weak upper
level ridging builds into the region, and the rising heights
will be accompanied by increasing temperatures. Current maximum
wet bulb global temperatures look to be in the extreme category
in the Champlain and Connecticut River Valleys due to hot and
humid conditions with light wind and abundant sunshine. Have
held off on a heat advisory with questions as to how high our
dew points will be, which as of now are not forecast to be high
enough to get heat index values into the 95 + range. Another
complicating factor is a lot of model guidance is suggesting
that showers and non-severe thunderstorms develop in the early 
afternoon which could alleviate the heat somewhat. Not fully
buying a wide extent of thunderstorms, but the amount of
instability expected and low shear could result in pulse-type 
thunderstorms once the cap is overcome.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 427 AM EDT Tuesday...
* Strong Thunderstorms Possible on Thursday *

It will be a muggy Wednesday night, especially if showers and
thunderstorms do not develop to cool things off. An influx of
deeper moisture in strong southerly low level flow will make it
hard for the temperature to fall much in advance of an 
anomalously strong low pressure system. This system will 
bring particularly strong wind fields aloft, setting the stage
for potential severe thunderstorms. In particular, the 700 and 
850 millibar level southwesterly winds over our region will be 
above the climatological 99th percentile Thursday, and that
means once again any strong updrafts in thunderstorms could
bring damaging winds to the surface in the form of a downburst.
The high dew point air and expected sunshine out ahead of a
ribbon of deeper moisture and linear convection will be
supportive of hot conditions again, although it currently looks
like the level of heat will be a bit below that of Wednesday.
Given that a series of pre-frontal troughs will be the forcing
for thunderstorms, have continued to have categorical chances of
precipitation throughout the day but for any given location
it will actually rain for only a short period of time.


&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 427 AM EDT Tuesday...Low pressure expected to exit the region
Thursday night with lingering showers mainly in northeastern
Vermont. Temperatures will trend slowly downward for Friday as upper
flow goes more zonal with the departing low pressure peeling
northwestward towards the Hudson Bay. This flow pattern will keep
more neutral thermal advection rather than scouring heat from the
North Country. Still, temperatures will marginally cooling into the
mid/upper 80s for Friday. More noticeably, will be the overnight
temperatures dropping back into the upper 50s to low 60s allowing
for cooler morning starts.

Temperatures trend back towards seasonal averages over the weekend
into early next week with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s as broad
cyclonic flow dips across the North Country. This will favor daily
chances of showers and potential for afternoon thunderstorms with
several waves moving along the southern rim of the cyclonic
curvature. Models differ vastly on timing of individual waves, so
kept a blanket slight chance to chance of showers mentioned through
Monday. Deterministic runs do hint at another more consolidated
front possibly moving through Monday or Tuesday which may become a
focus for stronger convection.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Through 06Z Wednesday...A surface cold from is pushing northwest
to southeast at the initial hour of the forecast; currently draped
across the northern Champlain Valley. This front will continue
to bring periods of precipitation to Vermont terminals with some
more limited shower chances at PBG and SLK for the initial hour.
MVFR/IFR CIGs will linger with ample low level moisture despite
northwesterly, and relatively drier, flow. Where clouds do break
out, MVFR/IFR VIS will be a concern with mist/fog formation with
SLK, PBG, and MSS being the most likely terminals to experience
these conditions through around 10Z. CIGs begin to break in
earnest around 12Z with VFR and breezy westerly flow; gusts up
to 22kts possible for terminals with average gusts 15-20kts.
After 18Z, another weaker frontal boundary is expected to push
through the North Country with potential for showers and
isolated thunder mainly over terrain and for northeastern
Vermont. Have mention of VCSH for EFK which stands the best
chance of seeing a shower or thunderstorm, but can't rule out a
10-15% chance for any terminal. Gradients relax by 00Z with
frontal boundary out of the North Country.

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