Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
645 AM EDT Tue May 26 2020
.SYNOPSIS...
A very warm airmass will develop across the North Country today and
continue through mid week. Temperatures will soar into the mid 80s
to lower 90s for both Tuesday and Wednesday, with just a slight
chance of a shower or thunderstorm. The chances for showers and
thunderstorms increase late Thursday into Friday, as a surface cold
front impacts the region. Some localized heavy downpours are
possible with the stronger convection on Friday. Much cooler and
drier weather is anticipated for the weekend as strong high pressure
building into the area.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 634 AM EDT Tuesday...Early morning vis shows llvl clouds
east of the Green Mtns acrs central/eastern VT, which should
burn off in the next 1 to 3 hours. These clouds might slow hrly
rate of sfc heating this morning, but should warm quickly this
aftn under mostly sunny skies. Did some tweaking to hrly temps,
dwpts and sky grids, otherwise rest of fcst in good shape. Still
thinking aftn highs mid 80s to lower 90s most locations with
south winds 5 to 15 mph.
Previous discussion below:
The near term concerns will be increasing heat/humidity, along
with chances for showers/storms. Water vapor with RAP analysis
shows building 700 to 500mb heights acrs our cwa, along with a
large scale area of subsidence. Better moisture and associated
embedded 5h vorts are located over southern Canada in the fast
westerly flow aloft on northern periphery of mid/upper lvl
ridge. Large scale forcing is minimal today acrs our fa, along
with soundings showing deep dry layer btwn 850mb and 300mb,
which should limit areal coverage of convection. NAM3km and
BTV4km continue to show a few isolated showers possible in their
respective composite reflectivity fields, developing from llvl
lake breeze convergence and lift provided by trrn, especially
acrs the eastern Dacks. In addition, sfc based CAPE parameters
look to be around 1500 j/kg, helping to support convective
updrafts if anything can fire. Have continued with previous
couple of days thinking and just mentioned 15 to 25% chc acrs
the eastern/central Dacks. Progged 925mb temps in the 21-23c
range support highs in the mid 80s to lower 90s acrs our cwa,
while dwpts values climb into the l/m 60s most locations. This
will create heat index values in the 87F to 93F range today,
with warmest values in the urban areas of the CPV/SLV. Another
mild night anticipated with dry conditions prevailing on
southerly winds. Expect lows ranging from the l/m 50s NEK/deeper
valleys of the dacks to near 70f CPV urban areas.
On Wednesday, fcst challenge will be potential for showers/storms
and associated areal coverage, followed by very warm temps. Large
scale synoptic pattern shows very little change with mid/upper lvl
ridge anchored acrs the Mid Atlantic/NE Conus. Upstairs forcing and
moisture will be limited again, but high resolution models are
slightly more aggressive with development of convection along lee
side trough/lake breezy boundary on Weds aftn. BTV4km and NAM3km
show sharp llvl convergence btwn the two mesoscale features, along
with building CAPE profiles in the 1800 to 2400 j/kg. Have bumped
pops into the chc (30 to 40%) range acrs most of northern NY and
schc (15 to 25%) for mtns of central/northern VT on Weds aftn. Given
the large CAPE profiles in localized soundings a few stronger
convective elements are possible with very localized gusty
winds/brief down pours. However, overall threat is limited and will
not mention in fcst at this time. Progged 925mb temps remain in the
22-24c range again supporting highs 87F to 93F acrs our cwa,
with warmest values acrs the central/northern CPV. Slightly
cooler temps wl prevail near Lake Champlain with values in the
lower/mid 80s associated with well pronounced lake breezy
boundary. Once again heat index values range in the upper 80s to
l/m 90s, just shy of the 95f degree heat advisory threshold.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 403 AM EDT Tuesday...After a hot day on Wednesday, a pocket of
slightly cooler air advects into the North Country overnight, along
with some relatively drier air. With the steady south winds and
occasional mid-level cloudiness ahead of a weak shortwave anticipate
our area will have another night in the 60s, though. Thursday
afternoon, temperatures at 925 hPa are still around 20-21 C, but
there should be greater cloud cover and heights will be falling as a
shortwave currently impacting south Florida lifts into our region
during the day. With that, max temps should top out in the lower to
mid 80s for our region. Scattered showers or light rain develop
later in the day, as warm, moist advection ahead of the shortwave
trough will provide forcing for ascent, along with subtle
deformation along the vort. The warming temperatures at 700mb will
result in a modest mid-level inversion that should preclude
thunderstorm development, but an isolated rumble of thunder cannot
be ruled out.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 403 AM EDT Tuesday...Light precipitation will gradually lift
north and east overnight, dropping a few hundredths across portions
of our area. A stronger upper trough digging southeast from the
Hudson Bay in Canada will follow Friday into Saturday. Southwesterly
flow will accelerate as pressure gradients tighten, and our offshore
upper level high will begin to deamplify and shift east, placing us
at the end of a Gulf- of-Mexico airmass. Our PWATs climb to 1.6"-1.9"
across our region Friday and 925 hPa temps will rise to about 22 C.
A prefrontal trough should amplify along a lee-side trough along the
Adirondacks and initiate convection by late Friday morning/early
afternoon. CAPE values should be around 1000 J/kg and a
strengthening upper jet will provide effective ventilation for
developing convection. 0-6km bulk shear of 40-50kts could even allow
for some organization. Brief training of convection will be possible
based on initial depictions of meso-beta element vectors, which will
need to be watched due to the anomalously moist air mass in place.
Anticipate numerous showers and a few thunderstorms that will
coalesce as it exits the state, or does so downstream, into some
kind of linear structure. More temporal/spatial details to come as
we get in the range of CAM models over the coming days.
Upper shortwave and main frontal axis will shift southeastward
Saturday. A few scattered showers could remain on Saturday along
northwest facing slopes from orographic lift as temps cool aloft
while surface temps warm during the day. Saturday's highs will be in
the 70s with some areas near 80 in the Connecticut River valley.
Bulk of the cooler air will settle for the start of next week with
highs in the mid to upper 60s and lows in the mid 30s to mid 40s.
Return flow appears to become re-established sometime next week, so
we will be relatively dry as well.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Through 12Z Wednesday...Expecting LIFR cigs to quickly improve
to VFR conditions at MPV by 13z. Otherwise, building sfc high
pres both aloft and at the sfc will result in VFR conditions at
all taf sites. Light winds, combined with clear skies and temps
reaching cross over values, may produce some localized patchy
fog again at MSS/SLK and PBG with IFR/LIFR. The combination of
low cigs and vis could impact MPV aft 06z and have mentioned in
TAF. Otherwise, south winds 5 to 15 knots prevail today, before
becoming light trrn driven overnight.
Outlook...
Wednesday: VFR. Slight chance SHRA, Slight chance TSRA.
Wednesday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Thursday: VFR. Chance SHRA.
Thursday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance
SHRA.
Friday: Mainly MVFR, with areas VFR possible. Likely SHRA, Slight
chance TSRA.
Friday Night: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Chance SHRA.
Saturday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Slight chance
SHRA.
