Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
631 AM EDT Thu Apr 6 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
Today will be mild with temperatures reaching well into the 40s and 
even 60s across the region. A cold front will cross from west to 
east during the day, bringing the chances for rain showers, as well 
as ushering a colder and drier airmass. Friday will be dry, but 
cooler and blustery with gusty northwest winds. The cooler weather 
will persist through Saturday, then we'll see a warming trend 
through next week, along with continued dry conditions.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 626 AM EDT Thursday...No significant changes were needed
with this update. As expected, we've had a little bit of a break
from the precipitation this morning, but additional showers are
now developing along the St Lawrence Valley down toward the east
end of Lake Ontario, ahead of the approaching cold front. Have
made some slight adjustments to PoPs and weather to match the
latest radar trends. Also incorporated the latest temperature
data; note that KMSS is still sitting at 33F and likely won't
warm until front goes through. Areas east of the Greens remain
in the lower to mid 30s as well, but generally above freezing
except perhaps a few isolated colder pockets in the Northeast
Kingdom. Overall the forecast remain in good shape, so no other
changes were needed. 

Previous discussion...A cold front lies poised to our west
early this morning, and it will continue to push eastward, crossing
our area during the daylight hours. Although steadier rain has
exited to our east this morning, scattered showers remain possible
as the front moves through. South winds out ahead of the front will
allow temperatures to warm well into the 50s and even 60s,
especially in Vermont where the frontal passage won't occur until
this afternoon. Northern New York will stay a bit cooler since the
front will move through there first, but still expect highs to get
into the lower to mid 50s. We'll start the day with mostly cloudy
skies, but expect clouds to thin and scatter out through the
afternoon and evening hours.

Cooler and drier air will spill in behind the front, with high
pressure building in from the west. Any showers will end by this
evening, leaving just partly to mostly clear skies overnight. Lows
will be seasonable, generally in the mid 20s to mid 30s.

Friday will be cooler and brisk as cold air advection continues on
gusty northwest winds. Steepening low level lapse rates will result
in efficient mixing of winds, so anticipate gusts of 25 to 35 mph
areawide. The incoming airmass is quite dry (PWATs will be less than
0.25 inch), and afternoon relative humidity will likely drop into
the 25 to 35 percent range. Highs will be several degrees below
normal, generally in the mid 30s to mid 40s, with some locations in
the southern Champlain and Connecticut River Valleys approaching 50.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
As of 358 AM EDT Thursday...Should any light rain fall on Friday,
it'll likely come to an end by Friday night as dry air filters in
behind the cold front. This should lead to plenty of sunshine for
the North Country on Saturday, albeit a little cool with highs
topping out in the mid 30s to mid 40s. Winds will still be blowing
around 20 mph Saturday morning in a few locations but winds will
abate quickly as surface high pressure moves overhead. The air mass
will moderate slightly Saturday night as the core of coldest
temperatures shifts eastward but another night of below normal
temperatures with lows in the upper teens to mid 20s appears to be
on tap.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 358 AM EDT Thursday...A pronounced warming trend will 
take center stage Sunday through the upcoming work week with 
temperatures returning to seasonal normals on Sunday and could 
be upwards of 20 degrees above normal by Thursday. Deep layer 
ridging is expected to become well established by early next 
week which will help usher in this above normal air mass. 
Previous models runs had shown a weak frontal boundary trying to
sag south as the deep layer ridging briefly gets suppressed to 
the south but the latest suite of deterministic data shows this 
now appears unlikely with the front washing out as the deep 
layer ridging never gets suppressed southward. We've trended 
PoPs to 10 percent or lower given the latest model trends. 
Looking back at temperatures, although temps are expected to be 
well above normal, it doesn't appear any records are in jeopardy
just yet but it'll be interesting to see how the 
Thursday/Friday time works out as some guidance is hinting at 
even warmer than advertised temperatures. Another area of focus 
towards the end of next week will be the potential for a 
"dewpoint bomb". With a plethora of dry air in place, deep 
mixing during the afternoon hours could drop relative humidity 
values into the lower 20 percent range or even the upper teens.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Through 06Z Friday...A variety of flight conditions across the
region early this morning, but overall expect MVFR to prevail at
most terminals through 14z Thursday, with LIFR at KMSS and
possibly at KSLK during that time frame. Rain showers will
persist through 10z, especially at KRUT and KMPV, and can't rule
out isolated thunder at these sites. Showers wane after 10z, but
additional activity will be possible after 18z Thu, mainly at
KRUT and KMPV. Ceilings gradually lift after 14z, with all sites
to be VFR by 20z. South to southwest winds will remain around 10
kt through 12z, except gusty to 30 kt at KRUT and KBTV. Winds
will gradually turn more toward the west from west to east after
12z, generally around 10 kt with gusts to 20 kt. 


Outlook...

Friday: VFR. Windy with gusts to 30 kt. NO SIG WX.
Friday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Saturday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Saturday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Sunday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Sunday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Monday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
