200 AM EDT WED APR 28 1999

WEDNESDAY'S WEATHER PROMISES MORE OF THE SAME STUFF WE'VE SEEN FOR
THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS...APPROACHING-NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND LOW-
TOPPED CUMULUS.  CLOUD COVER IN VERMONT IS FORECAST BY 00 UTC MODELS
TO BE CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN ON TUESDAY...WHICH SHOULD HELP LIFT
TEMPERATURES 2-3F IN WESTERN VERMONT AND 3-5F IN NORTHEASTERN
VERMONT.  CLOUD COVER AGAIN TO BE LEAST IN NEW YORK ZONES FOR ABOUT
3F WARMER THAN TUESDAY.  WHAT INSTABILITY EXISTS TODAY WILL BE
OFFSET BY MEAGER MOISTURE.  EXPECT CUMULUS WILL BE A LITTLE THICKER
IN NORTHEASTERN VERMONT BUT WILL NOT MENTION ANY SPRINKLES IN
FORECAST.

MOSTLY CLEAR TO CLEAR SKIES ALL AREAS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH LIGHT
WINDS...EXPECT MIN TEMPERATURES TO PEG A FEW DEGREES LOWER THAN THIS
MORNING'S MINS.

BY THURSDAY FORECAST AREA BEGINS TO BE TRAPPED IN COL BETWEEN
OFFSHORE CUTOFF AND ELONGATED CYCLONE CURRENTLY IN THE LOWER
MISSOURI VALLEY.  SOME LOW-LEVEL EASTERLY RETURN FLOW AND WARM
ADVECTION PUSH INTO THE REGION THURSDAY AFTERNOON FOR INCREASING
CLOUD COVER.  DESPITE THIS...DAY SHIFT FORECAST OF 3-5F WARMER MAX
TEMPERATURES COMPARED TO WEDNESDAY LOOKS GOOD.  AM NOT CONVINCED AT
THIS TIME CLOUDS WILL BE THICK ENOUGH TO KEEP MAX TEMPERATURES DOWN.

3 TO 5 DAY...REGION REMAINS DRY AS AVN CONTINUES NORTHERLY LOW-LEVEL
FLOW THROUGH FRIDAY.  NO CHANGES RECOMMENDED TO EXTENDED FORECAST.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
139 PM EDT TUE APR 27 1999

SATELLITE IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW SURGE OF MOISTURE WEST-
SOUTHWESTWARD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON.  GREATEST
CONCENTRATION REMAINS OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF VERMONT.  STEEP LOW
LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL STILL PROVIDE ENOUGH INSTABILITY THIS
EVENING FOR A CONTINUED MENTION OF SPRINKLES FOR THE HIGHER TERRAIN
OF VERMONT.  DISTINCT NORTHERN EDGE OF CLOUD SHIELD NOTED NORTH OF
MAINE WITH STEADY PROGRESSION SOUTHWARD...SO MOST AREAS WILL GO FROM
MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES THIS EVENING TO MOSTLY CLEAR.  MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY'S READINGS GIVEN SLOW
EROSION OF THE CLOUDS AND SOME NORTHERLY SURFACE GRADIENT CONTINUING.

ON WEDNESDAY...FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ANY
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE DESPITE STEEPENING LOWER LEVEL LAPSE RATES...950-
800MB...THUS OTHER THAN SOME VERY SHALLOW CUMULUS OVER THE HIGHER
TERRAIN...MOST AREAS TO SEE PLENTY OF SUNSHINE.  FLOW ALOFT REMAINS
FROM THE NORTH-NORTHWEST AND LITTLE CHANGE IN THE THERMAL
FIELDS/THICKNESSES OCCURS.  THUS AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD
BE A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN TUESDAY.

STILL DEALING WITH THE UPPER LOW OVER THE MARITIMES ON THURSDAY AS
FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE NORTHEAST AS THIS FEATURE GETS ELONGATED.
AS A RESULT...ANOTHER SURGE OF MOISTURE...PRIMARILY BELOW 850 MB...
MOVES BACK TOWARD THE FORECAST AREA.  THUS AFTER A SUNNY START...
CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO MOVE BACK IN DURING THE AFTERNOON.  WILL ADD
EXTRA WORDING IN ZONE TO REFLECT THIS SCENARIO.  DESPITE THE
NORTHEAST FLOW ALOFT...FLOW ACTUALLY BECOMES A WARM AIR ADVECTION
FLOW AND TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE WARMER THAN WEDNESDAY'S HIGHS
DESPITE THE INCREASE IN CLOUDS.  LOOKING FOR AT LEAST 5 DEGREES
WARMER THAN WEDNESDAY.

IN THE EXTENDED...UPPER LOW MOVES FAR ENOUGH AWAY TO HAVE NO IMPACT
ON THE FORECAST AREA.  FLOW ALOFT BECOMES LIGHT FROM THE NORTH-
NORTHWEST AS UPPER RIDGE AMPLIFIES OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF THE
COUNTRY.  THIS PATTERN TO PERSIST FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY AND AS A
RESULT...SUNNY AND DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED.  GRADUAL WARMING TREND
TO TAKE PLACE THROUGH THIS TIME AS WELL WITH MOST AREAS IN THE 60S
TO LOWER 70S BY SUNDAY.

WORK ZONES IN ALBADMBTV BY 145 PM

                        _LSC WEATHER CENTER FORECAST
                        10pm, Tueday April 27, 1999
                    STUDENT METEOROLOGIST: Adam Stampfl_
       _** The latest forecast for Northeast & North Central Vermont**
       ** The area bounded by Waterbury, St. Johnsbury, and Newport**_


   _
   Overnight: Clouds will eventually begin to break before midnight,
   leaving us with clear skies and cool temperatures. Lows will range
   from 28 in the higher terrain and in the low 30's in the valley. Winds
   will be light and out of the north.

   Wednesday: A great day to be outdoors and enjoying the sunshine. A few
   clouds will meander across the area, but over-all the day will feature
   sun, sun, sun. Temperaturtes will rise into the 50's. Winds will be
   5-10 mph out of the north-northwest.

   Wednesday Night: Well after all those nights of cloudy conditions,
   tonight will be a different situation. Mostly clear skies will prevail
   with cool temperatures. Lows will drop to around the 30 degree mark.

   Thursday: A nice sunrise will welcome you to work or school today, but
   don't be fooled as clouds will be on the increase in the late
   afternoon. Temperatures will be warmer than Wednesday and around the
   60 degree mark.

                             Extended Forecast

   Friday: Mostly sunny and seasonably mild. Highs in the low 60's and
   lows in the 30's.

   Saturday: Another winner of a day with mostly sunny skies. Highs in
   the upper 60's and lows in the 30's.

   Sunday: Mostly sunny once again and very warm. Highs reaching 70 and
   lows in the 40's.

                            Forecast Discussion


   If you are a spring type person this forecast is one you will enjoy.
   Clouds and precipitation will be in the past as a low that has been
   sitting over the Canadian Maritime will begin to pull away over the
   next day. It had brought clouds and rain showers earlier this week,
   but that is all behind us now. A ridge that is building in the mid
   section of the country will migrate our way and set us up with what
   will be a perfect weekend!!!!!! Temperatures will warm throughout the
   forecast period by 5 degrees everyday. We may see some clouds move in
   Thursday afternoon, but that will be short lived as they will
   dissipate as we move into Friday and the weekend. Enjoy this weekend
   by hiking, biking, walking, or yard work as it will be the first real
   taste of spring.
