Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
458 AM EDT Sat Mar 28 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure over the North Country will bring another day of
dry weather, a good deal of sunshine, and above normal
temperatures. A noticeable change will take place tonight as
precipitation chances increase overnight as a warm front
approaches the area. A large upper level low pressure system
will then move slowly eastward out of the Great Lakes and into
the northeast United States Sunday and Monday. Thus you can
expect an extended period of wet weather across the entire area.
The majority of the precipitation will be in the form of rain,
but areas east of the Green Mountains in Vermont could see some
freezing rain and snow Sunday and Sunday night.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 458 AM EDT Saturday...Expect a good start to the weekend 
with high pressure over the area today. There will be some 
increasing high clouds, but we should still see a good deal of 
sunshine and no precipitation is expected. Warmer 925 millibar 
temperatures today and a very dry air mass over the area 
suggests we should be a few degrees warmer than yesterday. Thus 
looking at highs in the upper 40s to upper 50s.

Flow aloft begins to back to the southwest tonight in advance 
of a large upper level low pressure system moving into the Upper
Midwest. This will bring a warm front and deeper moisture into
the region and overnight precipitation should become widespread
over the area. Feel temperatures over much of the area will be
above freezing and thus expecting precipitation mainly in the
form of rain. Forecast soundings show pronounced warm nose
moving over the area, but areas east of the Greens will see
temperatures hovering around the freezing mark. The Northeast
Kingdom of Vermont will be the area most likely to see these
colder surface temperatures and thus the potential for some
freezing rain will exist. Where freezing rain will be most
noticeable will be across the mountaintops. With the warm
temperatures during the day today ground temperatures will warm
as well and this could actually limit impacts from any freezing
rain in the lower elevations. This is definitely not a classic
freezing rain pattern where cold air damming develops near the
surface. Temperatures will be hovering right around the freezing
mark. Will not issue an advisory at this time, however will
issue a Special Weather Statement to highlight the potential for
freezing rain.

As mentioned earlier widespread precipitation will be across the
area on Sunday with most locations picking up a half to three
quarters of an inch of rain. This will lead to rises on area
rivers and streams. Snowpack is confined to the highest
elevations and thus additional runoff from snowmelt may not be
significant enough to cause flooding issues at this time.
However the situation will be monitored. Highs on Sunday will
range from the upper 30s to around 40 east of the Green
Mountains and in the mid 40s to lower 50s elsewhere.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 458 AM EDT Saturday...Sunday night and Monday will see 
the upper level low move right over the area. While there might 
be a few breaks in the precipitation sufficient dynamic support 
will exist for widespread showers across the entire area during 
this time period. Additional rainfall is expected during this 
time period with another quarter to half inch possible. This 
will lead to additional rises on area waterways. We start to 
lose the warm layer of air aloft on Monday and this will help to
bring snowmelt to an end, but will likely change some of the 
precipitation over to snow, especially over the higher terrain 
and east of the Greens for some minor snow accumulations. Highs 
on Monday will generally be in the 40s.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 458 AM EDT Saturday...Showery weather is expected Monday 
night into Tuesday morning as a cold core upper level low 
situates across the North Country. With cold air advection 
noticeable in the mid and upper levels, any chances of mixed 
precipitation will be non- existent as thermal profiles will be 
either below freezing through the entire column or below 
freezing through the entire column except at the surface. This 
should yield generally elevational dependent snow showers with 
rainfall likely at the lower elevations. Precipitation rates 
during the time frame will be fairly light but we will hold onto
PWAT values near 0.5 inches. Any snow accumulations Monday 
night into Tuesday morning should be less than an inch and and 
snow that does fall will change over to rain Tuesday morning as 
temperatures warm above freezing.

The weather pattern becomes rather complicated this upcoming week as
we remain under a longwave trough with several reinforcing upper
level lows dropping out of Canada to help amplify the upper level
trough across the northeastern US. While no one particular day looks
to be dry, no one particular day looks to be a washout. With colder
air in the mid and upper levels, diurnally driven "instability"
showers look probable. We have included a lot of 30-40 percent PoPs
through the extended period to account for these diurnal showers.
Nevertheless, temperatures should hover right around seasonal
normals through the upcoming week with highs in the mid 40s to lower
50s and lows in the 30s.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Through 06Z Sunday...VFR conditions and light winds will 
prevail through the forecast package. Rainfall will begin to 
approach the North Country around 06Z and have included VCSH at 
KRUT, KMSS and KSLK but the bulk of the rainfall won't arrive 
until closer to 12Z. 

Outlook...

Saturday Night: VFR. Definite RA.
Sunday: Mainly MVFR, with local VFR possible. Definite RA.
Sunday Night: Mainly MVFR, with local IFR possible. Likely RA.
Monday: MVFR. Likely RA.
Monday Night: Mainly MVFR, with areas IFR possible. Slight chance
SHRA, Slight chance SHSN.
Tuesday: Mainly MVFR, with local IFR possible. Slight chance
SHRA.
Tuesday Night: Mainly MVFR, with local VFR possible. NO SIG WX.
Wednesday: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Slight chance
SHRA.
