Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
400 AM EDT Sun Mar 14 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Widely scattered snow showers will redevelop this afternoon in a
brisk northwesterly flow. Highs will reach the low to mid 30s 
by midday, with temperatures slowly falling this afternoon, and 
then dropping quickly into the single digits for tonight. Very
low wind chills are expected tonight into Monday morning.
Moderate northwest winds continue on Monday with ineffective 
sunshine as temperatures rise only to the upper teens to lower 
20s for afternoon highs. A warming trend is expected for Tuesday
and Wednesday, with no significant precipitation systems 
expected over the next 5 to 7 days.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 345 AM EDT Sunday...A fast-moving shortwave trough south
of James Bay will traverse across the North Country this
afternoon. Associated height falls and forcing for ascent will
combine with developing surface-based instability (SBCAPE ~100
J/kg) to produce widespread snow shower activity this afternoon.
In the absence of an organizing boundary, appears snow showers
will be cellular in nature, and may see brief moderate/heavy
snow across especially higher terrain areas. May also see some
graupel in stronger reflectivity cores. Indicated max PoPs of 
70-80% across n-central and northeastern VT, and generally 
30-70% elsewhere. Snow accumulations generally less than 1" 
across valley locations, but 2-4" are possible across the higher
summits through early tonight, especially across the central 
and northern Green Mountains. Temperatures by mid-day will reach
the low-mid 30s. Thereafter, increasing NW winds and low-level 
CAA will allow temperatures to slowly fall this afternoon. 
Increasing pressure gradient and steep surface-based lapse rates
will promote increasingly gusty conditions. Looking for 
widespread 15-25 mph winds, with gusts 32-38 mph during much of 
the afternoon hours. 

These gusty NW winds and plummeting temperatures tonight will 
create areas of very low wind chill values. As a result, have 
issued a Wind Chill Advisory for the northern Adirondacks and 
Essex County VT from 05-15Z, where wind chill readings should
fall into the 20 to 25 below range. Overnight lows generally
-3F to +7F across the North Country. Snow shower activity will 
generally taper off to just a few mountain flurries by midnight.

Monday will feature mostly sunny skies, but unseasonably cold 
conditions with 850mb temperatures of -20C to -25C at 15Z. 
Should see highs on Monday in the mid-teens across the northern 
Adirondacks and across Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, and lower 
20s for the Champlain and St. Lawrence Valleys. NW winds will 
diminish somewhat to 10-15 mph, but temperatures will be 
15-20deg below the 30-year climo mean for mid-March. 

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 317 AM EDT Sunday...Clear and cold weather continues 
Monday night with 1030 hPa surface high building atop the 
region. Undercut blended guidance in the Dacks/northeastern VT 
where deepest snow cover remains, and closer to guidance in the 
valleys in the absence of a snow pack - mainly +/- single digits
to around 10 above. Flow turns light southerly on Tuesday as 
high slides east leading to a sharp warming trend by afternoon 
with highs in the mid 30s to lower 40s.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 317 AM EDT Sunday...Consensus continues to build that a 
nice stretch of weather is in store for the region during the 
remainder of the forecast period. A weak wave with decaying mid-
level warm advection will lift northeast through the region 
Tuesday night into early Wednesday with possibly a few/spotty 
light sprinkles or flurries, so continued lower end PoPs in the 
10-20% range for this period. Otherwise, the back end of the 
work week is now appearing mainly dry as this morning's GFS has 
trended solidly into the ECMWF and Canadian camp which have 
shown more consistency over the past few days. This argues for 
another Canadian high pressure center building southward with a 
mainly dry frontal passage by Thursday, essentially shunting the
remnants of the current high plains storm south of our region 
Thursday night/early Friday. The surface high center then builds
atop the region by next weekend with clear skies and nil PoPs. 
Temperatures remain seasonably mild in the 40s for Wed/Thu, then
trend cooler (upper 20s to mid 30s) for Friday behind 
Thursday's frontal passage before moderating nicely once again 
by next weekend.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Through 12Z Monday...Periods of MVFR snow showers early this 
morning will give away to VFR conditions from 11-16Z. Thereafter,
instability-driven snow shower activity will become widespread 
during the afternoon hours. These snow showers should result in 
brief periods of MVFR or IFR conditions at the TAF locations 
between 17-22Z, and will likely be most frequent at SLK and MPV.
May see a bit of graupel in the stronger cells. West to northwest
winds around 10 knots early this morning will become increasingly
gusty during the daylight hours. Should see widespread NW winds
15-25kts this afternoon with gusts up to 35kts. 

Outlook...

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