Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
400 AM EDT Fri Mar 30 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Rain ends this morning as surface low pressure tracks from northern
New York toward the Gulf of St. Lawrence late today. Drier and 
seasonable weather is expected on Saturday, followed by another 
frontal passage with scattered light rain and snow showers for 
Saturday night. Temperatures will trend cooler to start next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 227 AM EDT Friday...Frontal wave (1002mb low) tracking
newd across the nrn Adirondacks early this morning is 
associated with moderately strong QG forcing and PW values 
1.1-1.2" per latest RAP-based SPC mesoanalysis. Ongoing periods 
of moderate rain and patchy fog will continue thru 12Z. Appears 
best large- scale forcing moves north and east of the region by 
12Z or so, with rainfall winding down. Trailing cold front 
should clear the CT River valley by 12-13Z, with just a few 
lingering orographic rain/snow showers thru the remainder of 
the daylight hrs as winds shift W-NW. It appears that moisture 
will linger in the 925-850mb layer, and generally looking for 
low clouds to prevail thru most of the day, even as 
precipitation ends. High temperatures will generally be reached 
this morning, ranging from around 50F across the valleys of VT, 
and only in the low- mid 40s across nrn NY with winds already 
shifting NW in the St. Lawrence Valley at 07Z. Should see 
relatively steady or slowly falling temperatures this afternoon 
with increasing low- level CAA.

The remainder of the near-term period will be dry and relatively
tranquil. Sfc ridge builds in from the Great Lakes tonight with
gradual clearing expected overnight. Should see good radiative
cooling, especially late. Overnight lows expected in the 20s
areawide. Saturday will feature mostly sunny conditions and sw
winds, though an increase in mid-upper clouds is expected late
in the afternoon as the next shortwave trough moves thru the
northern Great Lakes region. Saturday's highs are expected in
the 45-50F range.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 328 AM EDT Friday...An upper level short wave will track
well to the northwest of the North Country and will swing a cold
front through. We'll be in the warm sector to start Saturday
evening as the front will rapidly track through the region. The
speed of the front should temper how much total rain occurs. 
There should be some elevational snow accumulation but given 
how fast the system moves through and the relative lack of PWAT 
I wouldn't anticipate much more than an inch or two in 
elevations above 1500 feet.

We'll likely see moderate to strong winds developing during the
overnight hours as the pressure gradient should be quite strong
Saturday night into Sunday. Still looking at southerly winds 
shifting to westerly at 10 to 20 knots and gusts of 25 to 40 
knots. Steep lapse rates and excellent mixing should mean that 
the Saint Lawrence Valley will be quite gusty.

Temps will be in the mid 30s Saturday night but behind the cold
front temps on Sunday during the day will top out in the upper
30s to near 40 and then fall into the teens to low 20s Sunday
night.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 358 AM EDT Friday...The work week starts off quiet as 
high pressure builds in. However that quiet weather will be 
short lived as an upper level low develops and brings a more 
unsettled pattern to the North Country. The first system is a 
Ohio Valley runner that will bring widespread light snow 
becoming light to moderate rain Tuesday. Specific rain/snow 
totals will depend on on timing of the system but early model 
runs do indicate significant precipitation will be possible.

High pressure builds in Thursday as colder air returns to the
North Country. The well below normal temps should continue
heading into the weekend with highs in the mid 30s to lower 40s
and lows in the 20s.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Through 12Z Saturday...MVFR ceilings will prevail much of this 
evening with rain thru 12Z. Occasional IFR will be possible in 
moderate rain thru 12z with TRRN OBSCD, then a slow trend after
12Z back to a mix of MVFR and VFR by 18Z Friday. Will see 
gradual clearing skies tonight. 

Some localized LLWS remains possible thru 10Z at RUT/MPV, but 
that should also subside as low-level jet shifts east of VT 
toward daybreak. In terms of winds, generally SE-S thru 10-12Z 
from the Champlain Valley ewd, then shifting NW with frontal 
passage. At KMSS/SLK, winds have already shifted W-NW with low 
pressure passing east of those sites. 

Outlook...

Saturday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Saturday Night: VFR. Chance SHRA, Chance SHSN.
Sunday: VFR. Windy with gusts to 30 kt. Slight chance SHRA,
Slight chance SHSN.
Sunday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. NO SIG WX.
Monday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Monday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHSN.
Tuesday: Mainly MVFR and IFR, with areas VFR possible. Likely RA,
Likely SN.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
As of 300 AM EDT Friday...Still looking at widespread moderate 
rain event (0.6" to 0.85" basin average rainfall), combined with
a decent amount of snowmelt, with SWE loss of around 1" 
expected through today. Fortunately, rivers are starting out 
near base levels. Seeing small streams rising early this 
morning, with larger rivers rising and cresting late today into 
tonight. It continues to appear that a few sites could crest 
very near the "minor flood" stage threshold, consistent with 
previous forecasts. The Winooski @ Essex Jct and Otter Creek @ 
Center Rutland should crest near minor flood stage while the 
Ausable River, Mad River @ Moretown and Lamoille @ Johnson 
should stay just below action stage. Think ice jam related 
flooding is minimal, as there isn't much ice left -- but we know
there is some downstream of Swanton, VT, so that will have to 
be watched along the Missisquoi. We will continue to closely 
monitor, but it appears that any flooding issues thru today will
be relatively minor and isolated, as bulk of rainfall ends 
early this morning.
