Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
324 AM EDT Wed Mar 25 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Quiet weather is in store for the North Country today as a low 
pressure system tracks well to our south. Temperatures today will 
warm back to above normal temperatures and this trend will continue 
through the upcoming weekend. Several rounds of rainfall are in 
store for the North Country Thursday night, again Friday afternoon 
and finally on Sunday. The Sunday event will be the most impactful 
event with widespread rainfall continuing through the day before 
tapering off to snow showers Monday morning.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 324 AM EDT Wednesday...Patchy dense fog will continue east of
the Green Mountains through sunrise before quickly dissipating under
springtime sun. Cirrus clouds associated with a coastal low off the
Virginia coastline will overspread the North Country this morning
from southwest to northeast through the morning hours. Based on the
00Z RAOB analysis, the surface high over the northeastern US was
slightly stronger than what the models had been depicting and this
has been reflected in the 00Z run of the American models. Both the
GFS and NAM show precipitation being suppressed to the south as the
high remains very expansive which has led us to cut PoPs to less
than 20% for our entire forecast area. We will still see mostly
cloudy skies through the daylight hours but weak warm air advection
at 925 mb and 850 mb should yield temperatures in the lower to upper
40s this afternoon. Temperatures overnight will also be about 3-5
degrees warmer than those observed this morning due to this weak
warm air advection and increased cloud cover.

Thursday is shaping to be a decent springtime day across the North
Country with partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies prevailing from mid-
morning through mid-afternoon. Highs on Thursday will warm into the
mid 40s to mid 50s underneath this partial sunlight. However, we
will begin to see increasing clouds mid-afternoon as we head into
the evening hours ahead of a weak upper level disturbance. Rain
chances will increase as we head into the evening hours, mainly
across northern New York and near the international border as the
disturbance pushes through. Rainfall totals will this disturbance
will be meager at best with amounts totaling 0.05" to 0.15".

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 324 AM EDT Wednesday...Shortwave trough moves across eastern
Canada and northern New England Thursday evening. Dynamic forcing,
sufficient to produce some light precipitation, moves east of the
region after midnight and precipitation will come to an end. Thermal
profile suggests precipitation will mainly be in the form of rain,
but could end as some snow showers at the end of the event. Another
shortwave trough moves toward the region on Friday, this time to our
south, and there could be a few showers across the southern third of
Vermont Friday morning through about mid-afternoon. The rest of the
area will remain dry with highs on Friday generally in the 40s.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 324 AM EDT Wednesday...Northwest flow aloft develops over the
area Friday night through Saturday night with dry weather expected
during this period. Slightly warmer temperatures are expected on
Saturday with highs in the upper 40s to lower 50s. Given the
northwest flow aloft over the area...it appears any precipitation
will hold off until later Saturday night. This is when flow aloft
eventually backs to the southwest in response to an strengthening
upper level trough of low pressure moving across the central part of
the country. This system is slow to move across the region and thus
we are looking at an extended period of wet weather, especially
during the Sunday through Monday time period. Deep moisture within
the southwest flow aloft will allow for widespread precipitation to
develop over the area throughout the morning hours on Sunday.
Precipitation will be mainly rain, but could see some snow across
areas east of the Green Mountains in Vermont. Deeper moisture moves
out of the area Sunday night, but dynamic forcing increases over the
area as upper low moves into the region. This should maintain fairly
widespread precipitation across northern New York and Vermont late
Sunday night into Monday. Slow drying takes place as upper low
finally moves east of the area Monday night into Tuesday. High
temperatures Sunday through Tuesday will generally be in the 40s.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Through 06Z Thursday...VFR conditions prevail across much of the
region this morning with either clear skies or scattered cirrus
moving overhead. Some LIFR fog has formed at KSLK and KMPV this
morning but should remain very isolated to these two terminals.
As high clouds continue to build in from the southwest, the fog
should begin to mix out. However, KMPV could be down until
12Z-13Z based on the cloud timing at this time. VFR conditions
will then develop for the remainder of the TAF period with winds
switching to the southeast at 5-10 knots. It's not looking like
any precipitation that falls today will be south of our forecast
area so have removed all mention of VCSH with this forecast
package.

Outlook...

Thursday: VFR. Chance SHRA.
Thursday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance
SHRA, Slight chance SHSN.
Friday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Slight chance SHRA,
Slight chance SHSN.
Friday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Saturday: VFR. Chance RA.
Saturday Night: VFR. Definite RA, Definite SN.
Sunday: Mainly MVFR, with local VFR possible. Likely RA.
