Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
359 AM EST Sat Mar 13 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Seasonably cold and brisk conditions will be the rule across the
North Country through Monday as northwesterly winds prevail. An
embedded upper level disturbance will bring scattered snow
shower activity to the North Country tonight into Sunday
morning. Snowfall accumulations will generally be less than an
inch in valley locations, but several inches of snow are
possible across the northern Green Mountains. The coldest 
temperatures of this stretch are expected on Monday, with 
rapidly moderating temperatures forecast for Tuesday and 
Wednesday next week. Present indications suggest generally dry 
weather for much of next week. 

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 322 AM EST Saturday...Lingering low clouds and flurries
will rapidly dissipate early this evening as shortwave trough
translates east of VT as low-level drying continues. Low-level 
CAA has been strong overnight, with temperatures falling back 
into the teens across much of northern NY and into the low-mid 
20s across VT at 08Z. Will see gusty NW winds gradually diminish
later this morning with increasing sunshine expected (and mostly
sunny conditions from late morning through afternoon). High 
temperatures will be notably cooler than recent days, generally 
in the low- mid 30s, except upper 20s across the northern 
Adirondacks. 

Next embedded shortwave trough in northwest flow arrives tonight
with strong 700-500mb height falls noted. Should see widespread
light snow shower activity develop after 03Z Sunday, and 
persist through the overnight hours. Orographic ascent and
developing shallow daytime instability should allow scattered snow
showers to persist thru Sunday across the higher terrain, 
especially for the central and northern Green Mtns. Should see 
snowfall amts of 0.5"-1" across valley locations, with snow-to- 
liquid ratios a fluffy 20:1. Orographic ascent brings 1-3" 
snowfall to the higher terrain, and possibly locally higher for 
the summits from Mt. Mansfield to Jay Peak (3-5") by late
afternoon on Sunday. Abundant clouds will keep overnight lows 
in the low- mid 20s, except a few upper teens across the 
Northern Adirondacks and far nern VT.

Brisk NW winds will be the main story on Sunday, with next surge
of low-level CAA and steep lapse rates promoting strong low-
level mixing. Widespread NW winds 15-25 mph expected for the
daylight hours Sunday, with gusts up to 35 mph, especially on
the ern slopes of the Adirondacks and Green Mtns. High
temperatures on Sunday generally in the upper 20s to lower 30s,
with a few mid 30s possible across s-central VT. Sunny breaks
are possible in valley locations later in the day. 

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 AM EST Saturday...The back side of the upper trough 
pulls east Sunday night with northern mountain snow showers 
gradually ending by Monday morning as sprawling 1030+ hPa 
surface high builds into the region. Given persistent and gusty 
gradient northwest flow have leaned just a tad warmer than 
blended guidance for overnight lows - generally offering +/- 
single digits to near 10F in the Champlain Valley/southern VT.

Then partly to mostly sunny and unseasonably cold for Monday, though 
winds will trend light with aforementioned high nearly overhead. I'm 
going to go out on a limb and suggest this will be the coldest day 
until next November or December as highs struggle into the mid teens 
to lower 20s, and lows Tuesday morning mainly +/- single digits - 
tough to do for mid-March.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 300 AM EST Saturday...The general trends from Tuesday 
onward into later next week suggest an overall quiet weather 
pattern as temperatures moderate considerably. Latest guidance 
supports the idea that two separate and moderating southern 
Canada high pressure systems will build southward and 
essentially act to shunt any north/northeastward progression of 
central US systems attempting to ride toward the region. 
Consensus is now solid that a weakening feature will ride into 
the area later Tuesday night into the first half of Wednesday, 
then some lingering uncertainty during the Thursday/Friday time 
frame on how far northeast another low pressure system makes it 
into our area. For now I've offered decaying slight chance PoPs 
for some light snow shower activity for the first system, then 
capped values mainly from 25-35% for Thu/Fri. As mentioned 
above, temperatures will moderate quickly after Monday, topping 
out in the 30s to around 40 on Tuesday, and in the 40s to around
50 for Wed/Thu. Toward the back end of the week there is some 
evidence of a mainly dry frontal passage associated with the 
second high pressure system off to our north, allowing 
temperatures to cool back into the 30s by Fri/Sat.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Through 12Z Saturday...Second axis of snow shower activity
moving swd from southern Quebec will bring periods of 2-4SM
in light snow shower activity through 09Z at BTV/PBG/MPV/SLK. 
Otherwise BKN-OVC VFR ceilings will prevail through the 
overnight before scattering out after sunrise. NW winds will
remain strong, with gusts generally 20-30kt through 12-15Z this
morning. Should see winds NW 10-12kt with gusts to 20kt during
the late morning through afternoon hours on Saturday, along with
VFR conditions areawide. Additional light snow showers are 
possible Saturday night, mainly after 03Z, and may result in 
intervals of MVFR or IFR conditions. 

Outlook...

Sunday: VFR. Windy with gusts to 30 kt. Chance SHSN.
Sunday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHSN.
Monday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Monday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Tuesday: VFR. Slight chance SHSN.
Tuesday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHSN.
Wednesday: VFR. Slight chance SHSN.
