Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
415 AM EDT Tue Aug 7 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Warm and muggy conditions will persist through the middle of the 
week . A cold front will be gradually moving toward the region 
through the day, bringing the threat of showers and thunderstorms. 
Some of the storms may be strong with gusty winds and heavy 
rainfall. Showers will once again be possible on Wednesday but 
Thursday and Friday are looking drier with near normal
temperatures.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 330 AM EDT Tuesday...Anticipating scattered showers and 
thunderstorms to affect the North Country today as a weak cold 
front slowly approaches from the northwest. A very humid airmass
exists out ahead of this front with dewpoints well into the 60s
to around 70. Radar imagery already shows convection firing up 
in western NY as the pre-frontal trough interacts with this 
ample moisture, and this activity will slide eastward into the 
region as the trough/front do likewise. While a few 
thunderstorms will be possible in the St Lawrence 
Valley/Adirondacks this morning, instability will be lacking a 
bit here due to current cloud cover and the lack of daytime 
heating. Instability will be maximized from the Champlain Valley
eastward as the pre-frontal trough will move through during 
peak heating, especially central and southern Vermont where 
cloud cover will be thinnest. SB CAPE values of 1000+ J/kg are 
anticipated in these areas, and this will be more than enough to
allow storms to fire, particularly along any lingering outflow 
boundaries from this morning's convection. The best shear will 
exist across the north as a jet will skirt by along the 
international border, so not quite collocated with the best 
instability, but still anticipate storms will become organized 
enough to produce some gusty winds, with locally damaging gusts 
possible. PWATs of 2+ inches and warm cloud depths of 10-12 kft 
indicate briefly heavy rainfall will be possible as well. The 
latest Day 1 storm outlook from SPC has the entire North Country
under a Marginal Risk, as does WPC's excessive rainfall 
outlook, so the above thinking seems reasonable. Otherwise, for 
today, continued warm and humid but not as hot as yesterday with
highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s. 

Showers/storms will wane in coverage and strength after sunset as 
heating is lost. It'll be another muggy night with lows remaining in 
the mid 60s to most 70s. Showers will redevelop on Wednesday with a 
shortwave moving through the southwest flow aloft. However, expect 
the focus will be more south and east as this is where the best 
instability will lie. Convection in our forecast area should be tied 
more to the higher terrain. Lesser instability due to more cloud 
cover and marginal lapse rates will limit severe potential. Clouds 
will keep temperatures down a bit as well, with highs expected to be 
a few degrees cooler than today's readings.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 400 AM EDT Tuesday...Some lingering showers and
thunderstorms for Wednesday night though most of the
precipitation will be done. There will be a slight chance for 
showers and thunderstorms again on Thursday, but mainly confined
to the higher terrain as upper level trough is still
influencing. Ridge of surface high pressure will build into the
area from west to east on Thursday. 

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 400 AM EDT Tuesday...Weather continues to look active over
the weekend after a pretty quiet day Friday. There will be a 
chance for showers and thunderstorms through the weekend, but 
exactly which day depends on what model you look at. Have
continued with previous forecasters thinking of chance for
showers both days. Exactly what happens with the long wave 
pattern is highly dependent on the system coming onshore along 
the Pacific Northwest sometime on Friday. The location of the 
developing cut-off low over the Great Lakes/Mid-Atlantic will 
greatly influence whether we see cool cloudy conditions or some 
clearing with a ridge building to the east of it. Overall, 
temperatures will continue to be slightly above normal through 
the period with high temperatures in the low to mid 80s and low 
in the lower 60s.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Through 06Z WEDNESDAY...VFR conditions are expected through the
period with the exception of KMPV. There may be some low clouds
and fog between 08z and 12z at this location that could result 
in IFR to LIFR conditions. Otherwise...expected increasing 
clouds after 10z for all areas...but ceilings will generally be 
above 4000 feet. Scattered showers will also be possible with VFR
visibilities are expected. A better chance for showers and 
thunderstorms will occur after 18z and this will be when we 
could see MVFR to IFR conditions in any thunderstorms. Winds 
will be from the south and southwest at speeds generally under 
15 knots.

Outlook...

Wednesday: VFR. Chance SHRA, Slight chance TSRA.
Wednesday Night: VFR. Chance SHRA, Slight chance TSRA.
Thursday: VFR. Slight chance SHRA.
Thursday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHRA.
Friday: VFR. Slight chance SHRA.
Friday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHRA.
Saturday: VFR. Chance SHRA, Slight chance TSRA.
