AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
413 AM EDT MON MAR 21 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A PERIOD OF UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL RETURN BY MID WEEK AS A
CLIPPER SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BRING A CHANCE FOR SNOW. THERE IS
POTENTIAL FOR SOME MIXED PRECIPITATION ON THURSDAY, THOUGH STILL
LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY AT THIS TIME. EXPECT THE COLDER TEMPERATURES
TO TREND MILDER BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 400 AM EDT MONDAY...WEATHER WILL BE QUIET TODAY AND TONIGHT
WITH ONLY A CHANCE FOR SOME MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS AS AN UPPER
LEVEL TROF CROSSES THE AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL BE VERY NEAR TO
SEASONAL NORMALS...GENERALLY MID 30S TO LOWER 40S FOR MAX TEMPS
AND TEENS WITH LOWER 20S OVERNIGHT FOR MIN TEMPS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 315 AM EDT MONDAY...AS WE PROGRESS INTO TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY OUR SENSIBLE WEATHER WILL BE TRENDING MORE UNSETTLED
THROUGH TIME. HIGH PRESSURE INITIALLY OVER THE AREA TUESDAY
MORNING WILL QUICKLY GIVE WAY TO A FAST MOVING NORTHERN STREAM
SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION BY TUESDAY EVENING/NIGHT
AS IT TRACKS ALONG THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER. MODELS HAVE REMAINED
QUITE CONSISTENT IN REGARD TO TIMING, TRACK AND MEAN QPF FOR THIS
FEATURE AND HAVE LARGELY KEPT WITH PRIOR THINKING SHOWING
WIDESPREAD LIGHT SNOWS/RAINS ARRIVING BY THE EVENING HOURS AND
TRANSITIONING TO ALL SNOW TUESDAY NIGHT AS WET BULB/PBL COOLING
PROCESSES STRENGTHEN. PRECIPITATION THEN QUICKLY TAPERS OFF BY
LATER TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. ALL AND ALL MAINLY
LIGHT QPF EXPECTED WITH THIS SYSTEM WITH SOME SHADOWING EFFECTS
EXPECTED IN THE CHAMPLAIN/SOUTHERN VT VALLEYS OWING TO FAIRLY
ROBUST 925-850 MB WEST/SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OF 35 TO 50 KTS. USING
LOCALLY DEVELOPED STANDARDIZED CLIMO SLR RATES OFFERS LIGHT SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES ACROSS THE SLV/NRN GREENS AND
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS TO 4 INCHES OR SO IN THE NORTHERN
ADIRONDACKS TUESDAY NIGHT. LESS SNOWFALL EXPECTED IN THE CHAMPLAIN
VALLEY FROM BURLINGTON SOUTHWARD AND IN THE LOWER CT RIVER VALLEY
FROM WHITE RIVER SOUTH WHERE SOME AREAS WILL SEE LITTLE IF ANY
ACCUMULATION. HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD CLIMB INTO THE 30S TO
AROUND 40 ON TUESDAY, THEN 30S NORTH AND 40S SOUTH ON WEDNESDAY.
LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 315 AM EDT MONDAY...AS DISCUSSED LAST NIGHT, AN
INCREASINGLY COMPLEX/DIFFICULT PATTERN THEN EVOLVES BY WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. DURING THIS PERIOD THE POLAR FRONT DROPS SOUTH
INTO THE REGION, THEN RETREATS SLOWLY NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT AS
LOW PRESSURE ADVANCES EAST FROM THE CENTRAL STATES CREATING THE
POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD WINTRY/MIXED PRECIPITATION/RAIN ACROSS
THE REGION. WE'RE STILL DEALING WITH QUITE THE DISPARITY IN THE
GUIDANCE REGARDING THE EVOLUTION OF THE LARGE SCALE SYNOPTIC
PLAYERS WITH THIS MORNING'S MODELS LARGELY HOLDING FIRM WITH THEIR
PRIOR SOLUTIONS. THE DIFFERENCES INVOLVE THE STRENGTH OF A
POTENTIAL BLOCKING POLAR HIGH OFF TO OUR IMMEDIATE NORTH AND THE
EXTENT TO WHICH IT EITHER 1) HOLDS FIRM, OR 2) GIVES WAY TO THE
ADVANCING LOW. QUITE IRONIC IN A COOL SEASON VIRTUALLY ABSENT OF
BLOCKING IT DECIDES TO APPEAR IN THE WANING DAYS OF MARCH. ANYHOW
THE EVOLUTION/INTERACTION BETWEEN THE SURFACE FRONT/HIGH/LOW
YIELDS LARGE DIFFERENCES IN BOTH TIMING/ARRIVAL OF PRECIPITATION
AND PBL THERMAL STRUCTURE WITH THE EURO/UKMET CAMP ON THE
COLDER/SLOWER SIDE OF THE ENVELOPE. GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE HIGH
I'VE TRENDED SOMEWHAT COOLER THAN BLENDED GUIDANCE DURING THESE
PERIODS AND CONTINUING THE IDEA OF WIDESPREAD WINTRY MIXED
PRECIPITATION AFFECTING THE AREA LATER WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY
MORNING BEFORE A SLOW TRANSITION TO MAINLY RAIN BY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON. TIME WILL TELL HOW IT ALL EVOLVES SO STAY TUNED.

BY NEXT WEEKEND LARGE DIFFERENCES CONTINUE AS GUIDANCE OFFERS A
VARIETY OF SOLUTIONS FROM MAINLY DRY TO QUITE WET. THIS APPEARS
MAINLY DUE TO RIPPLING EFFECTS FROM THE TIMING DISPARITIES
ORIGINATING IN THE THU/FRI TIME RANGE DISCUSSED ABOVE. FOR NOW WILL
KEEP WITH PRIOR TRENDS OFFERING MAINLY DRY WEATHER SATURDAY/SUNDAY
UNDER HIGH PRESSURE WHICH IS CLOSE TO THE LATEST WPC DAY 5/6
OUTLOOK. THINGS COULD CHANGE THOUGH. I DO HAVE SLIGHTLY HIGHER
CONFIDENCE THAT TEMPERATURES WILL TREND MILDER DURING THIS PERIOD
WITH DAILY MEANS AVERAGING SLIGHTLY ABOVE LATE MARCH NORMS.

&&
