Temperatures will warm today into the single digits and teens above zero, then steadily rise overnight as well in warm air advection ahead of approaching low pressure system. Winds will be breezy out of the southwest, areas of blowing snow are possible. Snow showers will develop late this afternoon and continue into Monday with a plowable snow likely in the mountains. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/... As of 345 AM EST Sunday...Wind chill warning continues until 10 AM. High pressure will shift east of the region today allowing for brisk southwesterly flow to develop with 850 jet around 40 kts over the region. Surface temperatures will steadily rise today and overnight, as well as Monday. By early this evening temperatures will be in the single digits and lower teens across the north country. There will be an increasing chance for some light snow showers, especially along the Saint Lawrence valley and international border in our Northern zones with shortwave passing to our Northwest. Plenty of clouds in place overnight, as mentioned warm air advection will keep surface temperatures on a steady rise overnight. Temperatures continue to increase on Monday, and a surface trough and upper level shortwave cross the area bringing some light snow to the area. Warm air and moisture advection will result in widespread area of synoptic scale isentropic ascent, which results in widespread snowfall on Monday. Southwesterly flow will cause Champlain valley to be a bit shadowed, so only very light accumulation there. More favorable upslope areas of the northern Adirondacks/northern Green Mountains will see some higher accumulations. Looks like Burlington will finally reach freezing by Monday afternoon. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... As of 425 AM EST Sunday...The upper level trough will be tracking through the North Country continuing to produce snow showers however the moisture will be depleting and so the showers will be becoming more orographic in nature. A strong low jet will lead to much of the Champlain Valley being shadowed and so I dont anticipate too much more snow through the evening hours. Total accumulations from Monday into Monday night should range in the 2-5 inch range across the higher terrain with generally 1.5 inches or less in the valley. I wouldn't be surprised to see 6-8 inches or more along the higher summits. Temps overnight will be cooling but with warm air advection we'll only fall to the mid 20s. Quite the change of pace from the -18F it is currently. On Tuesday the high starts building in and it's warm air advection for the foreseeable future. There will still be some lingering mountain snow showers but on the whole it will be a pleasant day under partly cloudy skies and temps in the low 30s. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... As of 448 AM EST Sunday...High pressure builds in and warm air advection surges into the region by mid week. We'll be looking at temps warming every day with a good chance at multiple days of 40 degrees or more and a chance to see 50 on Thursday. The medium ranged models are coming a bit more in line with each other towards the end of the week with a North Atlantic High pressure system interacting with a upper level trough over the eastern CONUS. A rich airmass with high PWATs will bring rain to the North Country Thursday night. Unfortunate this is going to lead to a messy situation given how cold the current ground temps are. Rain that falls will have the potential to freeze on contact causing a travel impacts. There is some colder air on the back side of that trough so the rain will switch back over to snow at some point its just going to be a function of how much precip falls at what time. Looking over things from a hydro perspective, we are certainly paying attention to any potential threat. Looking at the temp period between 18z Wed through 12z Sat portions of the Saint Lawrence and Champlain valleys will see 350+ thawing degree hours and the combination of rain could lead to some breaking of the river ice. The recent cold spell has cause significant river ice and I've got to think its pretty thick in most areas. So I'm not confident on the threat of flooding but we're certainly going to continue to monitor. && .AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Through 12Z Monday...Skies have cleared across the region overnight and winds have gone nearly calm, causing temperatures to plummet across the North Country. Winds will pick up out of the south southwest today 8-10 kts and clouds will increase from the west. Should see development of mid-level (8-12kft) ceilings after 18Z Sunday. Outlook... Monday: Mainly MVFR, with areas VFR possible. Chance SN. Monday Night: Mainly MVFR, with areas VFR possible. Chance SHSN. Tuesday: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Chance SHSN. Tuesday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. NO SIG WX. Wednesday: VFR. Slight chance SHSN. Wednesday Night: MVFR/IFR conditions possible. Chance SHSN, Chance SHRA.
