Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
408 AM EDT Tue May 15 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front across southern Quebec and Ontario will settle 
southward across the North Country today. Combined with a mid-level 
disturbance approaching from the Great Lakes, periods of showers are 
expected across the region today, with a chance of thunderstorms, 
mainly across south-central Vermont. Cooler and drier conditions 
return tonight with light north winds. Will see areas of fog tonight 
as skies become mostly clear. Dry and seasonable weather conditions 
are expected Wednesday through Friday. Additional rain is expected 
to accompany a warm front during the day Saturday. 

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 338 AM EDT Tuesday...At 0730Z, a cold front extended from
north of Quebec City wswwd into the northern Great Lakes region.
Strong 300mb jet extends along and north of the front, with
right entrance region enhancing upper tropospheric divergence 
and helping to drive convective storms early this AM across Lake
Erie and southeastern Ontario into srn lower Michigan.

It's a relatively warm pre-dawn period across the North Country.
South of the frontal bndry, south winds and mid-upper level 
clouds overspreading the region from WSW-ENE are keeping 
temperatures mainly in the 50s, though better mixing in the 
Champlain Valley has BTV at 67F at 0730Z. 

Overall expectation for today is that mid-upr level forcing
across the ern Great Lakes will shift enewd into our region this
morning, driving widespread clouds and numerous showers crossing
the nrn half of the CWA during the 12-18Z period...mainly 
across nrn NY and nrn VT. There is some modest moistening of the
low- mid levels with PW values climbing to 1.2-1.4" per 00Z 
NAM. Raised PoPs to 80-90% for light to moderate 
showers...should see QPF mainly in the 0.25-0.50" range. 

A bit further south, surface-based instability axis develops
with daytime heating from central PA newd into western New
England. South-central VT is on the northern fringe of the 
instability, with SBCAPE values reaching 400-600 J/kg across 
Rutland/Windsor counties around 18Z per NAM and 3km NAM- Nest. 
As surface boundary settles southward across the North Country 
this afternoon, will see increasing likelihood of some embedded 
convective elements across across Windsor/Rutland/Orange 
counties 18-22Z time frame. While activity is not expected to 
become severe, dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning and brief 
heavy rainfall will be possible. Included mention of this in the
morning Hazardous Weather Outlook for Rutland/Windsor/Orange 
counties. Further north, will generally see showers ending once 
front pushes thru the area around 18Z. 

Abundant clouds will keep temperatures near seasonal averages
for mid-May, with highs today generally be in the upper 60s to 
lower 70s.

Light northerly flow and ridge axis building into nrn NY and VT
will bring drier air tonight with dewpoints dropping back into
the 40s. With the expected 0.25-0.50" rainfall today and 
clearing skies/light winds tonight, anticipate areas of fog, 
especially in the favored valleys. Overnight lows mainly in the 
low-mid 40s, except as low as the mid 30s across the nrn 
Adirondacks and far nern VT. 

Once fog dissipates, should see mostly sunny conditions on
Wednesday with a return of southerly winds 10-15 mph.
Temperatures will moderate back into the low-mid 70s for highs.
PoPs NIL overnight thru Wednesday. 

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 338 AM EDT Tuesday...High pressure remains over the area for 
Wednesday night into Thursday as dry weather continues. Seasonal
temperatures are expected with lows in the upper 40s to mid 50s
and highs in the mid 60s to the lower 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 338 AM EDT Tuesday...Thursday night into Friday will 
continue to see dry weather with high pressure remaining over 
the northeast United States. Models have slowed a bit as deeper 
moisture looks to begin moving into the region Friday night into
early Saturday morning. Periods of rain showers are expected 
across most of the region Saturday afternoon and into Sunday. 
Plenty of cloud cover...precipitation...and deeper moisture will
result in daytime temperatures slightly below normal 
temperatures for the weekend. Higher precipitable water values 
are expected in this flow pattern and the idea of fairly 
widespread rainfall totals of a half inch to an inch continues 
to looks good. Deeper moisture pushes east Sunday night into 
Monday for a return toward drier weather next week.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Through 12Z Wednesday...Will see a gradual increase in mid- 
level VFR cloudiness (9-12kft) across the region through 
sunrise. Thereafter, will see region of light to moderate rain 
showers move across the TAF sites between 12-18Z, with periods 
of MVFR ceilings and vsby possible. There is also a chance of a
thunderstorm, mainly for KRUT between 16-20Z where surface-based
instability will be greatest. Frontal zone shifts sewd across 
the area with nwly wind shift expected 17-19Z (18Z at BTV). 
Overall wind speeds will not be strong...generally 5-10kts thru 
the daylight hrs. Diminishing winds with weak high pressure 
building in tonight. With clearing skies and wet ground, 
anticipate areas of fog 02-12Z tonight. Currently carrying 
3-4SM BR at SLK/MPV/RUT after 02Z Wednesday...and will need to 
monitor for possible BR or FG at the remaining TAF locations as 
well. 

Outlook...

Wednesday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Wednesday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. NO SIG WX.
Thursday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Thursday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Friday: VFR. Slight chance SHRA.
Friday Night: VFR. Chance SHRA.
Saturday: VFR/MVFR conditions possible. Likely SHRA.
