Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
350 AM EDT Fri Aug 21 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will slowly move south across the North Country,
today. This will produce scattered showers and a few
thunderstorms across the region today. A few stronger 
thunderstorms will be capable of locally gusty winds this 
afternoon into early this evening. Saturday is expected to be 
mostly dry, with an isolated shower near the higher summits. 
Additional weather disturbances will pass through our area, 
bringing intervals of scattered showers and a few thunderstorms 
throughout much of the next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 350 AM EDT Friday...A weak warm front is currently 
shifting eastwards. Warm advection and low-level convergence 
noted in Q-vectors fields has allowed light showers to develop, 
though amounts have not been high due to low-level dry air. A 
few moderate showers are beginning to cross into the St. 
Lawrence Valley. Shower activity is moving eastward, following 
zonal flow across the mid-levels. A east-west oriented cold 
front will slowly sag southwards later this morning. North of 
the boundary, temperatures will generally remain in the 70s, but
south of the boundary, some low to mid 80s will develop. The 
thermal contrast with modest destabilization up to 500-1000 
J/kg, subtle height falls as the base of an upper trough reaches
our forecast area, and 0-3km shear values of 30 knots support 
the potential for at least some organization of shower activity 
and a few thunderstorms. Any storms that congregate into 
clusters could produce strong, gusty winds, but will struggle as
noted through tall, skinny CAPE profiles and poor lapse rates 
making it difficult to mix these winds down though. The SPC 
maintains marginal risk severe weather outlook for our region 
today, indicating the potential for isolated, short-lived severe
weather.

Cold front sags south of our region tonight with waning shower 
activity. Lows generally in the 50s across the region. It 
appears the front will push far enough south that we should see 
partial clearing. It will not be ideal for fog given shortwave 
ridge and surface high are not directly overhead, but given the 
precipitation, think some valley fog will be possible. Frontal 
boundary generally remains south, and that will be the 
convective focus for Saturday. A few showers could try to 
develop near Mt. Marcy and in the southern Greens, but height 
rises and mid-level capping appears to stymie storm potential. 
Thus, mostly dry for Saturday with highs in the mid 70s to lower
80s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 350 AM EDT Friday...The front will lift northward 
overnight into Sunday morning as a warm front, eventually 
pushing very near or just north of the international border. In 
the meantime, a weak area of low pressure will push eastward 
through Ontario and into Quebec. This feature passing by just to
our north will allow showers and thunderstorms to develop 
during the afternoon. The most concentrated activity will likely
occur over southern Quebec/Ontario and slide southeastward 
across the border during the late afternoon- evening hours. 
Areas south of the warm front will warm well into the 80s. CAPE 
values will approach or even exceed 1000 J/kg, along with shear 
of 25-35 kt. Hence some stronger storms capable of gusty winds 
will be possible , mainly in northern areas closest to the best 
shear and dynamic forcing. A weak frontal boundary will move out
of Canada Sunday night once the low moves to our east, which 
should shunt any lingering convection out of our area during the
evening hours. Flow turns more to the west/northwest, and note 
that some of the guidance indicates another round of possible 
convection late Sunday night with an upper disturbance passing 
through the flow aloft. Highs on Sunday will mostly be in the 
lower to mid 80s. Overnight lows both Saturday and Sunday nights
will be in the mid 50s to around 60.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 350 AM EDT Friday...It will remain unsettled through much
of next week as we'll remain under west/northwest flow aloft, 
with a series of upper shortwaves and surface fronts will 
traverse across the region. This makes for a bit of a complex 
forecast as models continue to have a hard time agreeing on 
exact timing/placement of these features. Regardless, we will be
in for several rounds of precipitation through the week, with 
the best chances to occur on Tuesday with the passage of a 
sharper shortwave and cold front. Note that the GFS keeps 
Wednesday dry with high pressure building over the North 
Country, while the other guidance including the ECMWF and CMC 
bring yet another weak shortwave and showers to the region. 
After near normal temperatures earlier in the week, the 
aforementioned cold front will usher in cooler air with highs in
the 70s areawide for the latter half of the week.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Through 06Z Saturday...Anticipate VFR conditions with scattered
showers crossing eastwards over KMSS/KPBG/KSLK/KBTV through 
about 08Z-11Z. Still some LLWS for KPBG and KMSS the next few hours
as a low-level jet pushes east with a warm front through about 
10Z. Coverage of showers decreases briefly during the morning 
before reinvigorating after 14Z and then sagging south towards 
KMPV and KRUT as well towards 18Z with a few storms possible. 
Winds will be terrain driven or out of the south to southwest, 
increasing from 3 to 7 knots up to 5 to 9 knots with some gusts 
up to 15 knots at KBTV and KRUT. As a cold front crosses 
southward around 21Z, winds become more west to northwesterly at
5 knots or less. Showers and storms wane after 00Z. Ceilings 
fall to 2500-5000ft agl, with possible MVFR ceilings most likely
at KSLK and KMPV after 00Z.

Outlook...

Saturday: VFR. Slight chance SHRA.
Saturday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHRA.
Sunday: VFR. Chance SHRA, Chance TSRA.
Sunday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHRA.
Monday: Mainly MVFR, with areas VFR possible. Slight chance SHRA.
Monday Night: Mainly MVFR, with local IFR possible. Slight chance
SHRA.
Tuesday: Mainly VFR, with areas IFR possible. Chance SHRA.
