Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
618 AM EDT Wed May 24 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front will cross the region today, bringing widespread 
showers and possible thunderstorms, some of which may produce gusty 
winds. Temperatures will fall sharply behind the front, making for a 
chilly and blustery afternoon and evening. High pressure takes hold 
thereafter, with a trend toward warmer and drier weather for 
Memorial Day weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 615 AM EDT Wednesday...The cold front still lies poised to
to the north and west of the St Lawrence Valley this morning.
However, a prefrontal trough/wind shift line is making its way
into northern NY/VT, allowing some scattered showers to pop up
ahead of the main area of precipitation. Latest CAM runs
indicate that this preceding trough will serve as a focus for 
additional shower development, especially over central/southern 
sections closer to peak heating. Have updated PoPs and weather 
accordingly. Also increased cloud cover this morning as per the 
latest satellite. Otherwise the forecast remains in good shape 
and no other changes were needed. 

Previous discussion...The cold front can be seen making its
approach from Canada this morning. It should move into the St
Lawrence Valley by 7 am or so, then quickly scoot southeastward
across the forecast area through the day as an upper trough pivots
through Canada and becomes negatively tilted. The swath of showers
associated with front can already be seen on upstream radars;
although a few isolated showers will be possible ahead of the front,
it is this area of rain that will bring the bulk of today's
precipitation. As has been the trend over the past few forecast
packages, expect ample convergence with this boundary, though
instability is looking a little more meager, generally less than 500
J/kg and mainly confined to areas along and south of a line from
roughly St Johnsbury VT to Newcomb NY. So have continued with the
idea of a slight chance of thunder for those areas. Winds will
become gusty out of the south ahead of the front, and then quickly
surge out of the north/northwest as it passes through. Gusts of 30
mph will be possible with/just after the frontal passage. Brief
heavy downpours will be possible as well, though given the quick
forward movement of the front, total rainfall should be a third of
an inch or less in most spots. The temperature forecast is a bit
tricky for today, as much colder air will follow in the front's
wake. Most locations will have early daytime highs (potentially even
before or shortly after sunrise) as temperatures will in the 60s to
near 70 will quickly fall through the 50s and into the 40s this
afternoon/early evening. The incoming airmass will be much drier
too, and showers will quickly come to an end by midnight.
Temperatures will drop into the 30s areawide, coldest in the
Adirondacks and Northeast Kingdom. Continued north winds should be
enough to preclude frost development though, so no frost headlines
will be needed.

The upper low will stall over northern Maine Thursday, keeping us
under brisk north flow. Fair weather cumulus will pop up as we see
daytime heating, especially over the higher terrain. The airmass
will be pretty dry, but can't rule out a stray sprinkle over the
Northeast Kingdom, closest to the upper low. Highs will top out in
the mid 50s to lower 60s, several degrees below normal for late May.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 327 AM EDT Wednesday...Some unseasonably cold temperatures
linger around Thursday night. Overnight lows will be in the 30s to
low 40s, which is about 10 degrees below normal this time of year.
These chilly temperatures combined with lack of wind will support
the development of frost, particularly in the Adirondacks and
portions of eastern Vermont.

Luckily, this cold spell will come to end as high pressure starts to
nose its way into the region. Temperatures will be in the mid to
upper 60s. Some mostly sunny skies along with the warmer
temperatures will make for a beautiful end of the work week.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 327 AM EDT Wednesday...A beautiful Memorial Day weekend is in
store for the region as high pressure continues to build.
Temperatures on Saturday will be low to upper 70s, warming into the
80s for Sunday. Skies should continue to be mostly clear, allowing
for abundant sunshine.

The most recent model guidance is even drier than previous runs,
keep the next chance of appreciable precipitation outside of the
forecast period. Dry weather and warming temperatures can be
expected for the first portion of next week as high pressure
continues to be the dominate feature across the region.

&&

.AVIATION /10Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Through 06Z Thursday...VFR conditions will prevail through 12Z 
Wednesday with increasing mid-clouds through daybreak ahead of 
an approaching cold front. The front will be at KMSS around 12Z 
with cigs/vsby lowering to MVFR at all sites through the morning
in light to moderate rain, and winds rapidly shifting from the 
south to northwest. Locally some gusts from 06-14Z are possible 
at KBTV from the south, then all sites will see the potential 
for gusts up to 25 kt along the frontal passage. Brief IFR is 
additionally possible along the front. Conditions will improve 
from northwest to southeast during the afternoon, but likely 
after 00z. 

Outlook...

Thursday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Thursday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Friday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Friday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Saturday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Saturday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Sunday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
