Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
637 AM EST Thu Jan 28 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A polar low dropping south from James Bay will bring a shot of 
arctic air to the region late tonight and into the weekend. 
Very cold temperatures combined with breezy winds will result in
very cold wind chills overnight through Friday morning. For such
reasons, Wind Chill Advisories are in effect for the northern
Adirondacks and all of eastern Vermont from late tonight until
11 AM Friday morning. High temperatures on Friday and Saturday will
only be in the single digits above zero with overnight lows 
near zero to 15 below in some locations. Warmer weather returns
Sunday into next week with increasing chances for snow coming 
towards the middle of next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 624 AM EST Thursday...Overall, the going forecast remains
in good shape. Only slight changes were made to increase the
chance of snow within the northern Champlain Valley and portions
of the Adirondacks. Otherwise,the forecast continues on track.
See previous discussion below: 

Light snow continues across portions of North Country this 
morning under sufficiently moist, blocked northwest flow. Snow 
will continue in a similar fashion throughout the day, favored 
most along the northwest slopes of the Adirondacks, northern 
Green Mountains, and the high terrain of the Northeast Kingdom. 
Overall, accumulations of 1 to 2 inches are expected throughout 
the day, with up to 3 inches along mountain summits. 
Temperatures today will be noticeably cooler, especially across 
northern New York as arctic air is advected in from the 
northwest. Highs will be in the low teens across northern New 
York, while in the upper teens to low 20s across Vermont.

An upper low of polar origins will descend into the North Country
from Ontario, Canada later today and is responsible for the much
colder temperatures that will affect the area for the remainder of
the week. Overnight lows tonight will drop into the single digits
below zero across much of Vermont, while as low as -10F across
portions of northern New York. Meanwhile, low temperatures in the
Champlain Valley will be near zero. The one saving grace in regards
to overnight low temperatures will be the lingering cloud cover,
especially across northern New York and northern Vermont.
Additionally, a tightening pressure gradient will cause an increase
in NNW winds beginning late this evening and continuing through
Friday. Winds will be sustained at 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25
mph possible. This will result in very cold wind chills overnight of
-15 to -30. For such reasons, Wind Chill Advisories are in effect
for the Adirondacks, the western slopes of the Green Mountains, and
all of eastern Vermont beginning late tonight through 11 AM Friday
morning.

Meanwhile, there exists a reinvigorated chance of light snow showers
across portions of the Adirondacks, northern Greens, and the
Northeast Kingdom on Friday as mid-level moisture is advected around
the backside of the upper low. Paired with upslope northwesterly
flow and steepening lapse rates, we could see an additional 1 to 3
inches of snow across these areas throughout the day. Chances for
snow will diminish by Friday evening as high pressure begins to
build in from the west. Winds will abate during this time as well.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
As of 322 AM EST Thursday...Any lingering snow showers across 
the northern high terrain come to an end Friday night as high 
pressure continues to build into the region under gradually 
abating northwest flow. Still some pesky clouds through the 
overnight hours in favored northern mountain/valley locales as 
lows drop into the -10F to 0F range with some slight 
variability. We could approach wind chill advisory criteria once
again in the northern mountains, but wind chill values will be 
bit more marginal than on Thursday night.

Then trending partly cloudy to mostly clear in all areas by Saturday 
into Saturday night as aforementioned surface high continues to edge 
east from the upper Great Lakes/southern Ontario. Northwesterly 
winds will continue to slowly abate, trending light by evening. High 
temperatures to average about 3 degrees warmer than Friday's values, 
which is not saying much - generally 7 to 14 above. Coldest night of 
the 7-day forecast then likely occurs Saturday night with all areas 
solidly below zero - mainly from 5 below to 15 below, slightly 
milder near Lake Champlain.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 322 AM EST Thursday...Quiet weather continues for Sunday 
into Monday afternoon as high pressure remains bridged across 
southern QE/eastern ON. Low pressure tracking east from the Ohio
Valley states will likely spread thickening mid to high level 
cloud cover into southern counties by afternoon, but mainly dry 
weather is expected. Temperatures begin a welcomed moderating 
trend during this period, topping out in the teens to lower 20s 
on Sunday, and solidly in the 20s by Monday.

Thereafter, we continue to monitor a coastal storm that will develop 
along the Mid Atlantic seaboard on Monday and track northeastward 
toward the Gulf of Maine/Nova Scotia Monday night into Tuesday. 
Consensus from the 00Z model operational and ensemble output 
suggests that there is an increasing chance that this system will 
affect at least a portion of the area Monday night into Tuesday with 
an accumulating snowfall. Highest probabilities continue to exist 
across the southeastern half of the forecast area, and as such have 
maintained solid 40/50% PoPs generally along and south of a 
Ticonderoga to St. Johnsbury line for now. The expected Miller Type-
B evolution looks to be a somewhat challenging one from a forecast 
perspective, with complex interactions within the upper flow pattern 
leading to a somewhat broader overall cyclonic gyre and a weaker 
surface low. Given these trends future forecasts will likely change 
for better or worse (depending on your fondness of snow) over the 
next few days as we enter the time frames of the higher-res output.

By Tuesday night system pulls east with precipitation chances waning 
over time, setting the stage for a return of drier, seasonal weather 
for the back half of the work week.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Through 12Z Friday...Mostly MVFR cigs across the forecast area
with occasional bouts of VFR. Clouds will linger through the TAF
period, though slight improvement to VFR cigs is expected after
15z as winds begin to pick up and aid in lifting out the clouds.
Light snow continues at a few locaions, namely KSLK, KBTV, and
KRUT tho vis has remained VFR. NNW winds will increase after 15z
becoming sustained at 10-15 knots with gusts up to 25 knots. 

Outlook...

Friday: VFR. Slight chance SHSN.
Friday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Saturday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Saturday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Sunday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Sunday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Monday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
