Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
252 AM EDT Thu Sep 10 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A stationary front, which has remained atop northern counties 
over the past two days, will finally push south of the area this
afternoon and evening with a few showers. Behind the front, 
seasonably cool and dry weather are expected for Friday into 
Saturday. A more pronounced threat of showers along with 
blustery winds arrives on Sunday, after which dry and seasonable
weather returns for the start of the work week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 252 AM EDT Thursday...A pesky stationary front, which has
remained draped across northern counties over the past 48 hours
will finally get a push south today in response to northern 
stream upper troughing passing off to our north. Patchy low 
stratus and fog will slowly lift through late morning in all 
areas outside the northern SLV leading to a short window of 
partly to mostly sunny skies, especially across central/southern
counties. In these areas high temperatures will once again top 
out in the lower to mid 80s, while across far northern counties 
temperatures will remain cooler in the mid 60s/lower 70s with 
proximity to the front and variable cloud cover. As the front 
shifts southward through the afternoon/early evening hours 
clouds will fill back into all areas with lower-end chances for 
scattered showers, mainly from the Adirondacks east through VT. 
As mentioned yesterday, forcing is weak along the boundary, so 
showers will be driven mainly by low level moisture 
pooling/convergence. An isolated storm will also be possible, 
but should be the exception rather than the rule given weak mid 
level lapse rates and evidence of a capping inversion near 700 
mb.

By tonight the front clears well south with light to modest 
northerly winds and clouds giving way to partial to full clearing in 
most spots other than northern higher terrain by sunrise on 
Saturday. Low temperatures will defintely herald the arrival of 
autumn with values ranging through the 40s to around 50, slightly 
milder near Lake Champlain (50s).

Friday begins a two day stretch of outstanding weather as broad 
surface high pressure builds east from the Great Lakes. Skies will 
trend mostly sunny in all areas by late morning under light to 
moderate northerly flow as high temperatures top out in the 60s to 
locally around 70.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
As of 252 AM EDT Thursday...High pressure will continue to 
build across the North Country Friday night and will shift 
eastward and out of the region Saturday night. Looking at model 
soundings for the Friday night and Saturday timeframe, it looks 
like it'll be difficult buy a cloud given the amount of dry air 
and subsidence in place across the region. With decreasing cloud
cover Friday night and light winds underneath the building 
surface high, temperatures are expected to tank. Overnight lows 
will range from the mid 30s to mid 40s with the coldest 
temperatures expected across the northern Adirondacks and 
northeastern Vermont. Given these temperatures and light winds, 
we could see patchy frost across the aforementioned locations. 
Any frost development will likely be confined to the colder 
hollows and doesn't appear to be widespread at this time. Cloud 
cover will begin to increase Saturday afternoon as our flow 
aloft shifts from the northwest to the southwest well ahead of 
an approaching frontal boundary. This return flow will allow 
temperatures on Saturday to be noticeably warmer than those seen
on Friday with highs in the mid 60s to mid 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 252 AM EDT Thursday...An approaching cold front on Sunday
will yield widespread showers across the North Country for a 
good portion of the day. Models continue to show an potent 
shortwave ejecting across the region Sunday afternoon in line 
with the cold front. Good surface convergence and shear should 
help to maximize rainfall rates as PWATs increase above 1.5" 
Sunday morning. There will be a glaring lack of instability on 
Sunday from the abundant cloud cover and timing of rainfall 
ahead of the cold front isn't ideal. This will likely inhibit 
thunderstorm potential and any mention of thunderstorms was 
removed from this forecast package. Nevertheless, it looks like 
a good third to two-thirds of an inch of rainfall should be 
fairly widespread with localized amounts up to an inch possible.
In addition to the rainfall on Sunday, gusty southerly winds 
continue to look more and more likely. Strong gradient flow 
develops between the departing high pressure system that was 
over us Friday and Saturday and the approaching cold front. The 
orientation of the pressure gradient is ideal for bringing these
gusty winds up through the Champlain Valley. Overall it still 
looks like 20-30 mph winds will be possible for much of the 
Champlain Valley with gusts of 40-45 mph over the Lake. These 
gusty winds will develop late Sunday morning and will abate 
around 7 or 8 PM with rapidly decreasing winds expected through 
the overnight hours into Monday.

Most of the showers activity will exit the region by Monday morning
but a few additional showers will be possible through the first half
of the day as the upper level trough axis swings through the region.
High pressure will be quick to build back across the North Country
Monday night into Tuesday morning with the high cresting across the
region Tuesday morning. Good radiational cooling as skies clear and
light winds develop under the high pressure system should allow
temperatures to tank Monday night and again Tuesday night. Lows in
the mid 30s to mid 40s will once again be seen with patchy frost
possible across northeastern Vermont and the northern Adirondacks. A
warming trend will begin on Wednesday as we begin to see a western
extension of the Bermuda high begin to move across the east coast.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Through 06Z Friday...Stationary front currently draped along 
the intl border and south through the Champlain Valley, will
lift slightly north this morning, before pushing bodily south
through the area this afternoon/evening. Cigs quite challenging,
but overall trends suggest widespread MVFR/IFR through 12/13Z,
lifting briefly to VFR/MVFR by late morning/early afternoon 
before lowering back to mainly MVFR after 18-21Z as boundary 
slides south. Threat of showers along front is rather marginal,
but VCSH will be maintained at mainly VT terminals this 
afternoon for a short 2-4 hour window. Winds variable 2-6 kt 
through 16Z, dependent on terminal, then trending largely 
north/northwest from 6-10 kts thereafter as front pushes south.

Outlook...

Friday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Friday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Saturday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Saturday Night: VFR. Chance SHRA.
Sunday: MVFR/IFR conditions possible. Likely SHRA.
Sunday Night: Mainly MVFR, with areas IFR possible. Chance SHRA.
Monday: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. NO SIG WX.
