Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
425 AM EDT Sun Aug 5 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Today begins another stretch of hot and humid conditions as 
drier weather moves over the region. Temperatures will warm into
the upper 80s to lower 90s through early part of the work week.
Relief will come on Wednesday as unsettled weather returns 
through the rest of the week. Expect more seasonable high 
temperatures with above normal lows through the end of the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 421 AM EDT Sunday...Fog is lighting up on IR satellite
this evening and is fairly widespread in the valleys across 
both sides of the Champlain Valley as welll as much of the rest
of Vermont. Fog isn't quite as prevalent in the Adirondacks
however there are a few pockets showing some fog potential in
the Saint Lawrence Valley. This should continue through the 
rest of the evening as high pressure continues to build aloft.

During the daytime today warm air pushes in over the region. 
925mb temps will warm into the 23-25C range which supports temps
in the upper 80s to near 90 as I'm adding 9C to get surface 
temps given mostly sunny skies today. With dewpoints still in 
the mid to upper 60s anticipate the air to feel really muggy 
this afternoon. Winds will be fairly light and so we'll feel the
full impacts of the heat this afternoon. Based on the forecast 
heat indexes we'll be slightly lower that heat index thresholds 
so I've opted not to issue a heat advisory but plan to note the 
potential heat issues via an SPS later this morning.

This evening I anticipate similar conditions with fog 
potentially building in. The likelihood of fog will be mainly 
across eastern Vermont and the Connecticut river valley. 
Anticipate some cloud cover to build in over northern New York 
as the ridge shifts east ahead of an upper level trough. That
cloud cover should inhibit much fog development over northern
New York.

During the day on Monday, first and foremost it will be hot and
humid and likely a heat advisory will be needed during the 
afternoon for both the Saint Lawrence and Champlain Valleys. 
Expected heat index values increase to 95+ by mid morning and 
will stay higher than our 95 degree threshold for much of the 
day. Second, a weak frontal boundary will be pushing towards the
international border during the afternoon and while most 
guidance indicates it should weaken and fall apart before it 
reaches the North Country. However if it doesn't, the airmass 
over us will be supportive for some stronger storms to develop.
Lapse rates are moderately steep (6.0-7.5) in the 850-500mb 
range and decent shear profiles with upwards of 40kts in the 
0-6km range. So we'll need to pay attention to see whether or 
not any of these showers manifest themselves over the North 
Country.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 313 AM EDT Sunday...Hot and muggy conditions will 
continue through the short term period as we remain under 
southwest flow ahead of an upper trough. A series of vort maxes 
will speed through this upper flow. Meanwhile, at the surface, a
cold front will approach from the Great Lakes Monday night 
before hanging up somewhere near or across the North Country 
Tuesday into Tuesday night. Monday night will be uncomfortably 
muggy with lows in the upper 60s to lower 70s, but expect we 
will see a brief break in the precipitation. However, showers 
and thunderstorms will redevelop on Tuesday as the 
aforementioned surface front/pre-frontal trough approach from 
the Great Lakes. Models differ in how much southeastward 
progress the front makes, but consensus seems to be that it will
move across the St Lawrence Valley and into the Adirondacks 
Tuesday by Tuesday evening, then hang up somewhere across 
northern VT/NY through the night. Very moist air will stream 
northward ahead of this front, and PWATs will once again 
approach 2 inches by Tuesday evening. This influx of moisture 
combined with the front and an upper jet will allow showers and 
thunderstorms to develop by Tuesday afternoon and persist into 
Tuesday night. Lapse rates are unimpressive given the moist 
sounding profile, but shear will be an ample 30-40 kt. Tuesday's
temperature forecast is a bit tricky given the differences in 
exact frontal placement, but have gone a few degrees cooler for 
Tuesday's highs than Monday, especially over northern areas 
where frontal passage would occur first. Regardless, Tuesday 
night will be another muggy one with lows in the mid and upper 
60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 313 AM EDT Sunday...Unsettled weather will prevail 
through next week as we will see several upper shortwaves push 
across the region. Such features are notoriously hard to 
pinpoint in timing and placement, so have a slight chance/low 
chance PoPs just about every day for mid-late next week. One 
saving grace is that it does look to cool down back closer to 
normal with slightly less humid conditions by the end of the 
week.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Through 06Z Monday...Expect generally VFR through the taf 
period except for VLIFR fog and low stratus at RUT/SLK/MPV 
through the overnight hours. By 12-13z expect all sites to 
return to VFR and VFR will prevail through the rest of the taf 
period under mostly clear skies and light winds.

Outlook...

Monday: VFR. Slight chance SHRA, Slight chance TSRA.
Monday Night: VFR. Chance SHRA.
Tuesday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance SHRA,
Chance TSRA.
Tuesday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance SHRA,
Chance TSRA.
Wednesday: Mainly MVFR, with areas VFR possible. Chance SHRA.
Wednesday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Thursday: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. NO SIG WX.
