300 AM EDT WED SEP 15 1999

A LITTLE SPEED MAX SHOWED UP NICELY IN THE WATER VAPOR WINDS AND
THE 00 UTC RUC MOVING THROUGH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA INTO EASTERN NEW
YORK. THIS FEATURE ALIGNED WELL WITH THE VORT CENTER MOVING INTO
SOUTHWESTERN QUEBEC PROVINCE TONIGHT...SETTING OFF WIDELY SCATTERED
SHOWERS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA EARLY THIS MORNING.
HAVE ADDED EARLY MORNING PERIOD TO SOUTHERN VERMONT AND ADIRONDACKS
ZONES TO HANDLE THIS.

WEAK FRONT TO STALL TODAY FROM THE CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY INTO
WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS...LEAVING MORE CLOUDS IN EASTERN AND SOUTHERN
VERMONT.  HAVE GONE WITH A DECREASING CLOUDS TREND IN WESTERN ZONES.
FRONTAL FORCING WEAK FOR NO MENTION OF POPS IN ANY ZONES TODAY.  MAX
TEMPERATURES TO RANGE FROM UPPER 60S IN THE DACKS TO THE LOWER TO MID
70S IN WESTERN ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY.

TRYING TO USE SOME REASONABLE COMBINATION OF ETA/AVN/NESTED MODELS...
WILL ESTIMATE THAT THE GREATEST THREAT OF TROPICAL-BASED
PRECIPITATION WILL GET INTO RUTLAND/WINDSOR COUNTY OVERNIGHT.  LOW
CHANCE OF PRECIP AT BEST IN NORTHEASTERN VERMONT AND THE DACKS.  LESS
CLOUD COVER BACK TO THE NORTHWEST IN ST. LAWRENCE VALLEY.  MIN
TEMPERATURES 50 TO 60F.

PRECIP LIKELY INTO SOUTHERN VERMONT BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON...BUT
UNCERTAINTY OF FLOYD'S TRACK LEAVES ME WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO CONTINUE
ONLY CHANCE POPS FOR THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA.  CLOUDS WILL KEEP
MAX TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S.

3 TO 5 DAY...THANKS BUFFALO FOR HELPFUL COORDINATION.  WILL BUMP ALL
ZONES' POPS TO LIKELY FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.  HAVE WORDED
PRECIP AS RAIN IN VERMONT AND AS SHOWERS IN NORTHERN NEW YORK.  WILL
ALSO ADD BREEZY WORDING FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY AS NORTHERLY
GRADIENT INCREASES.  THE COMPARATIVELY SLOW AVN STORM TRACK TAKES
PRECIP OUT OF FORECAST AREA BY FRIDAY EVENING...SO WILL GO WITH A
CLEARING TREND FOR SATURDAY PERIOD.

216 PM EDT TUE SEP 14 1999

STILL DEALING WITH SOUTHWEST-NORTHEAST ORIENTED BAND OF RAIN SHOWERS
THAT HAS MOVED VERY LITTLE THIS MORNING AND INTO THE FIRST PART OF
THIS AFTERNOON.  WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A VORT MAX AND ITS
ASSOCIATED SPEED SHEAR THAT MOVED UP ALONG THIS AREA OF
PRECIPITATION.  THIS APPEARS TO HAVE ENHANCED THE PRECIPITATION
ENOUGH TO INCREASE THE AREAL COVERAGE ACROSS NORTHERN NEW YORK AND
THE CAHMPLAIN VALLEY OF VERMONT.  THIS POINTED OUT EARLIER BY ALBANY
AND APPEARS TO BE A VERY ACCURATE ASSESSMENT. WITH THIS VORT/SPEED
MAX NOW MOVING OUT OF THE AREA...TREND SHOULD BE FOR A DECREASE IN
AREAL COVERAGE OVERNIGHT.  THUS WILL MENTION SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS
FOR NORTHERN NEW YORK AND THE CHAMPLAIN VALLEY OF VERMONT...BUT
ONLY A CHANCE OF SHOWERS FOR THE REMAINDER OF VERMONT.  BAND OF
MOISTURE HAS BEEN VERY SLOW TO PUSH EAST AND MAY NOT EVEN MAKE IT
VERY FAR INTO VERMONT BEFORE GRADUALLY WEAKENING.  BUT WITH THE
FRONT MOVING THROUGH...STILL LOOKING AT THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME
SHOWERS.

PLENTY OF MOSITURE TO LINGER AROUND ON WEDNESDAY...SO WILL CONTINUE
TO MENTION MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS.  CLOUDS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES
GENERALLY IN THE 60S.

SOME CLEARING TO TAKE PLACE WEDNESDAY NIGHT BEFORE POTENTIAL INFLUX
OF MOISTURE FROM HURRICANE FLOYD.  STILL PLENTY OF UNCERTAINTY ON
HOW FAR NORTH FLOYD WILL GET.  IT APPEARS TO BE DEPENDENT UPON THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST AND HOW FAR
IT DIGS SOUTH.  THIS WOULD HELP BACK THE UPPER FLOW TO A MORE
SOUTHERLY DIRECTION AND ALLOW FOR THE MOISTURE TO SPREAD ON UP INTO
NEW ENGLAND.  THIS WOULD THUS BRING A THREAT OF RAIN TO MUCH OF THE
FORECAST AREA IN THE AFTERNOON.  WILL JUST MENTION A 40 PERCENT
CHANCE MOST AREAS.  THIS APPEARS TO WORK WELL WITH ALBANY'S
THINKING.

IN THE EXTENDED...AGAIN UNCERTAINTY ARISES WITH THE PATH OF FLOYD.
OLD MRF STILL KEEPS TROUGH OVER THE NORTHEAST FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
BEFORE SHRTWAVE RIDGING DEVELOPS ON SUNDAY IN ADVANCE OF ANOTHER
TROUGH.  THUS WILL CONTINUE CHANCE OF RAIN FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...
THEN GO MOSTLY SUNNY ON SUNDAY.

EVENSON

.BTV...NONE.

                        _LSC WEATHER CENTER FORECAST
                    11:00 PM, Tuesday September 14, 1999
                    STUDENT METEOROLOGIST: Jason Dollard_
       _** The latest forecast for Northeast & North Central Vermont**
       ** The area bounded by Waterbury, St. Johnsbury, and Newport**_


   _
   Tonight: Cloudy with the chance of a scattered sprinkle this evening
   as the cold front to the West pushes near us. Low's overnight will be
   in the low to mid 50's and winds will be out of the Southeast at 5 to
   10 mph.

   Wednesday: Clouds will begin to clear up and we will see a mix of sun
   and clouds throughout the day. High's will be right near 70 and winds
   will be out of the West at 5 to 10 mph.

   Wednesday Night: Continued clearing early in the evening hours, but
   then clouding right back up. Low's will be in the low to mid 50's and
   winds will remain out of the West at 5 to 10 mph.

   Thursday: Cloudy with a chance of rain late in the day as the first
   bits of Hurricane Floyd moves in. High's will be in the low to mid
   60's, with low's in the mid to upper 40's.

                             Extended Forecast

   Friday: A chance of rain, may be heavy and accumulating at times
   depending on where Floyd ends up. High's will be in the low to mid
   60's and low's will be in the upper 40's to lower 50's.

   Saturday: Once again we have a chance of rain. This will not be as
   heavy as Friday's and anything hitting the ground should be over
   towards the end of the day. High's will be in the mid 60's and low's
   will be in the upper 40's to low 50's.

   Sunday: The unsettled weather moves on out and we will see mostly
   sunny skies. High's will be in the mid to upper 60's and low's will be
   in the mid 40's.

                            Forecast Discussion


   Our slow moving cold front is still to our West and should pass over
   us Wednesday night and into Thursday. Any precipitaion we will get
   from this frontal passage will be scattered and very minimal. Our next
   concern is how much precipitation we will get from Hurricane Floyd and
   when it will hit our area. Right now the models show the first bands
   of precipitation moving in Wednesday night and into Thursday. It looks
   like the bulk of the storm will stay off to the coast and
   accumulations over our area will be significantly lower than
   anticipated and all should be said and done by Saturday afternoon.
   Then the skies will start to clear up for Sunday. Keep in mind that
   this is still to early to give and EXACT estimate of where the
   precipitation will fall and when it will fall, so keep in touch with
   the weatherphone to find out the latest changes.
