Area Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED
National Weather Service Burlington VT
422 AM EDT Mon Aug 6 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Hot and humid conditions will continue this afternoon as Heat 
Index values increase into the upper 80s to upper 90s due to hot 
temperatures and high humidities. Muggy conditions continue Monday
night as low temperatures will remain in the mid 60s to lower 
70s. A cold front will track through the North Country on Tuesday 
and bring the possibility for strong to possibly severe storms. 
Behind the frontal system we'll see a more normal airmass with dry
conditions and highs in the low 80s and lows at night in the 50s 
to low 60s.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 411 AM EDT Monday...Patchy fog continues over the 
Connecticut River Valley this evening as a few light cirrus 
clouds move over northern New York. Boundary layer winds 
continue to preclude much fog over much of northern New York and
Champlain Valley. Low level winds from the VAD wind profiles 
and the winds on Whiteface and Mansfield in the 20-25kt range 
confirm the presence of a weak low level jet.

Temps have been slow to fall this evening as warm air advection
continues to surge in. With forecast 925mb temps about 1-3C 
warmer today than they were yesterday I fully expect temps to 
warm into the low 90s in the Champlain Valley and in the Saint 
Lawrence Valleys. With dew points still expected in the mid to 
upper 60s heat index values are expected to warm into the mid to
upper 90s in the Champlain and Saint Lawrence Valleys and into 
the upper 80s to the low 90s elsewhere across the North Country.
Thus I've continued the Heat Advisory already in place and feel
that its important to keep getting the message out that due to 
societal factors temperatures in the 90's with relatively high 
humidity are especially dangerous across the North Country.

This evening there's not a lot of relief as temperatures only 
fall to the upper 60s to low 70s. The fall will be fairly 
incremental so its still likely to be in the low to mid 70s at 
midnight once again with high humidity.

Tuesday a cold front will be pushing into the region and will 
bring a round of showers and thunderstorms. There's a chance 
that as the front moves in we could see a few isolated strong to
severe thunderstorms. With the warm and humid airmass in place 
once we see diurnal heating the atmosphere should become 
unstable fairly quickly and there's already going to be 30-40kts
of bulk 0-6km shear in place. Lapse rates look relatively weak 
as the 700-500mb lapse rates average 5-6 C/km so not much higher
than moist adiabatic. This points to the primary threat as 
gusty to damaging winds. We remain in a marginal risk from SPC 
which still looks good. The threat of severe should quickly end 
heading into the evening hours.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 326 AM EDT Monday...Any lingering showers or 
thunderstorms that are ongoing Tuesday evening will subside 
overnight as instability decreases and the deepest moisture 
shifts to our south and east. A frontal boundary will remain 
draped over or near the North Country Tuesday night into 
Wednesday morning and will likely not make much southward 
progress until later Wednesday when the upper shortwave finally 
crosses the region. Another round of showers/thunderstorms will 
fire along this front again on Wednesday, though the details of 
exactly where and when are still a little up in the air since 
they depend on (1) where the front sets up and (2) when the 
upper shortwave arrives. For now, consensus shows the morning 
hours staying mainly dry under some brief ridging, then things 
becoming more active for the afternoon/evening hours as the 
shortwave trough approaches from the west. By the time the wave 
draws near, the best instability looks to be focused to our 
south, but still anticipate we'll have some convective 
potential. Precipitation will likely linger into Wednesday night
but should end by daybreak Thursday. Temperatures will remain 
near to above normal while dewpoints in the 60s will keep the 
mugginess around through the period.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 326 AM EDT Monday...Staying somewhat unsettled through 
the end of the work week, then drier for the weekend. Another 
upper shortwave will rotate around the upper low Thursday, 
keeping the threat of showers in the forecast. The best chances 
for thunderstorms arrives on Friday with another, stronger cold 
frontal passage. This front will finally bring some relief from 
the humidity as we'll see dewpoints drop down into the 50s. High
pressure builds in for the weekend, though with the front 
poised just to our south, can't completely rule out some 
additional convection, mainly in central/southern portions of 
our forecast area. Temperatures will remain near normal through 
the extended period, though as mentioned above, it will trend 
drier as we head into the weekend.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Through 06Z Tuesday...VFR conditions will persist across most 
TAF sites through the forecast period with the exception of some
intermittent IFR fog at SLK and possibly MPV. Fog looks primed 
to develop around 06-07z across eastern Vermont and portions of
the Northern Adirondack Mountains which includes both KMPV and 
KSLK. The fog should be patchy in nature and will likely bounce
around a little as some stronger winds will develop above the  
surface inversion which will mix some of the fog out and will
likely limit overall coverage of fog. Any fog that does develop
will quickly dissipate between 11Z and 13Z.

Outlook...

Tuesday: VFR. Chance SHRA, Chance TSRA.
Tuesday Night: VFR. Chance SHRA, Chance TSRA.
Wednesday: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Chance SHRA.
Wednesday Night: VFR. Chance SHRA.
Thursday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance SHRA,
Slight chance TSRA.
Thursday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Slight
chance SHRA.
Friday: VFR. Chance SHRA, Slight chance TSRA.
