Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
645 AM EDT Wed May 27 2020
.SYNOPSIS...
Another record breaking day of heat expected across the region
this afternoon as temperatures climb into the upper 80s to mid
90s. A few isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible
across the northern Adirondacks and parts of the central and
northern Green Mountains today. A very warm and muggy night
tonight, will be followed by slightly cooler with more clouds on
Thursday. A cold front will produce additional showers and
thunderstorms on Friday with some localized heavy rainfall
possible.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 639 AM EDT Wednesday...Temps already 2 to 4 degrees warmer
this morning compared to yesterday with mainly clear skies
prevailing. Any lingering fog/mist will quickly dissipate by
11z, with south winds at 4 to 8 mph expected and highs upper 80s
to mid 90s. Still anticipated a few showers/storms to develop
over the dacks and parts of the central/northern Greens btwn
18z-23z today. All covered will in fcst.
All time record high temp for the month of May maybe broken at
BTV this aftn. Our crnt fcst has 94 with the record all time
high temp being 93F for BTV.
Mid/upper lvl ridge continues acrs the mid Atlantic/NE Conus
today with very warm 925mb to 850mb thermal profiles. Progged
925mb temps range from 23-25c today, which adding 10c placed
many areas in the upper 80s to mid 90s for high temps. Soundings
continue to show as high temps are approached this aftn, mixing
of slightly drier air near 850mb transfers to the sfc, resulting
in dwpts values in the l/m 60s. This will create heat index
values in the 89F to 96F range today, with the warmest values in
isolated urban areas acrs the CPV/SLV and parts of the upper CT
River Valley. The limited areal coverage of 95 or greater heat
index values and limited duration of an hour or two at best,
prevents heat advisory thresholds for being reached.
Next question is the areal coverage of convection this
aftn/evening. Once again mid/upper lvl forcing with building
ridge is very weak, along with limited moisture profiles.
However, NAM3km and BTV4km, along with the GEM/GFS continue to
show some isolated activity building during peak heating this
aftn acrs the dacks and parts of the central/northern mtns of
VT. Expect llvl convergence from lee side trof on eastern slopes
of the dacks and associated lake breezy boundary off both
Ontario and Champlain to create enough lift, along with trrn to
produce some shower/storm activity this aftn. Deep layer shear
is very weak with values <15 knots, so not expecting any
organized convective, even with sfc based cape values in the
1800 to 2400 j/kg range. The very light flow <20 knots from sfc
thru 500mb, indicates very slow storm motions and the potential
for localized heavy down pours. However, areal coverage of
measurable precip is <20% in most areas acrs the higher trrn
today. A secondary threat would be the potential for an isolated
wind gust from localized microburst, associated with efficient
preicp loading with moderate cape profiles. Tonight activity
will quickly dissipate around sunset as llvl stabilize, with
some patchy fog possible in areas that received measurable
precip during the daytime. Another very warm and muggy night
anticipated with lows upper 50s slk/nek to lower 70s CPV.
On Thursday, the combination of clouds and slightly cooler 925mb
to 850mb temps will result in high temps in the upper 70s to mid
80s most locations. Several weak embedded 5h vorts move acrs our
cwa during the daytime, which could produce scattered showers,
with highest pops acrs northern NY/SLV. Progged instability is
very limited with sfc based capes <500 j/kg, so thunder threat
is minimal on Thurs. Also, soundings indicate near moist
adiabatic thermal profiles, indicating the atmospheric
stability.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 342 AM EDT Wednesday...Not much change in the overall forecast
philosophy for Friday. Warm and muggy with temps in the mid to upper
60s around sunrise warming into the mid to upper 80s. A prefrontal
trough will develop during the day with about 800-1500 J/kg of
surface based CAPE with continuing trends to a lighter shear profile
with 0-6km shear now forecast to be around 35 kts. Due to the
relatively weak low-level convergence and lack of a synoptic forcing
mechanism, we will need to rely on terrain boundaries and some lake
breeze convergence for initiation. But once convection does develop
towards late morning/early afternoon, a supportive jet structure,
falling heights, and the aforementioned shear should allow for
clusters to develop and perhaps organize some capable of producing
brief, gusty winds. Starting to see CAM models suggest convective
initiation occurs earlier across Central New York, which would place
debris clouds over our region in the southwesterly flow. Given this
is a common occurrence, this could very likely limit the potential
for stronger storms. Moist airmass with 1.6"-1.9" PWATs and a 30-35
kt low-level jet could support training of convection until a
stronger upper level vort will push through overnight and allow the
strengthening cold front to shift south and east. Decided to include
heavy rain wording from about 5 PM to 11 PM. Even with declining
instability overnight, thunder chances could continue given the
favorable synoptic dynamics. Anticipate roughly 0.25"-0.5" across
the region, but there will areas of locally higher amounts
associated with any convection, especially if training cells develop.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 342 AM EDT Wednesday...Cold front a little slow to push east as
the upper jet becomes more meridionally oriented, and it will come
across piecemeal. The Theta- E boundary crosses through about dawn.
Not much of a wind shift, still seeing cooler, drier conditions.
Highs in the 70s with some upslope showers possible as the secondary
front associated with the shift to northwest winds on Saturday
evening. This will usher in a cooler air mass with a few days of
below normal temps in store with mostly dry conditions forecast. NWP
solutions diverge greatly after Monday with regards to a trough
digging into the Northern New England and whether it develops into
an upper low. If no upper low develops, then a northern stream
shortwave trough will propagate through the region on Wednesday. If
an upper low does develop, we could end up on the drier side of
things as better moisture gets shunted south. Although if the upper
low is close enough to the New England coastline, we could get some
wrap around precipitation. Not looking at any significant warm up,
just a gradual moderate to near normal values for temperatures.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Through 06Z Thursday...Tafs have been challenging this morning
with brief ifr at slk/mpv/pbg and mss, but conditions are
improving with vfr anticipated through the next 12 to 18 hours.
As convective temps are reached, expect cumulus clouds to
increase, especially acrs the trrn with some vcsh at slk by 18z.
These showers/storms will dissipate by sunset this evening with
some patchy fog/br possible again at SLK. However, increasing
mid/upper lvl moisture may produce more clouds and limit fog/br
and associated ifr/lifr conditions at taf sites tonight. Winds
generally south/southwest at 4 to 8 knots, except southeast at
PBG associated with lake breezy boundary.

Thursday: VFR. Slight chance SHRA.
Thursday Night: Mainly MVFR, with local IFR possible. Chance
SHRA.
