Today will be the first of several this week with light precipitation expected across much of the area, as well as above normal temperatures. Warm front lifts across the area today, spreading light rain across the region. A cold front will change the precipitation to light snow showers before ending overnight. More light rain is expected later Tuesday into Tuesday night. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/... As of 619 AM EST Monday...Some showery precipitation is evident on radar out ahead of warm frontal light rain which will move into our area this afternoon. Winds have already begun to pick up. No big changes for the 630 am update. Previous discussion follows. Warm moist air moves into the region today along a surface warm front. Warm air aloft moves into the area, then followed by warming at the surface this afternoon. Will have a chance of light snow showers this morning, then a change over to light rain by this afternoon. Northeast Kingdom will be last to changeover. High temperatures will range from the mid 30s in the Northeast Kingdom to the lower 40s across the rest of the area. Best chance for rain will be in the Saint Lawrence valley. Mainly a snow showers changing to light rain scenario, but can't rule out a brief period of sleet or freezing rain during the transition. Precipitation will come to an end overnight as surface cold front pushes east across the area. Rain will change over to light rain or snow showers before ending. Rainfall totals will range from just a few hundredths of an inch to almost half an inch in the Southern St Lawrence valley. Temperatures overnight will only dip into the upper 20s to lower 30s. Surface cold front is slow to exit to our east. Tuesday will be a changeable weather day with briefly dry conditions in the morning, but increasing chances for precipitation headed into the afternoon as a low pressure system lifts northeastward along aforementioned stalled frontal boundary. Southwesterly flow develops on Tuesday and an upper level shortwave swings through later in the day Tuesday bringing a chance for rain. Temperatures will be quite warm on the warm southwesterly flow, temperatures will reach the mid 30s to lower 40s. The Southern Champlain and Connecticut river valleys will see upper 40s to around 50. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As of 340 AM EST Monday...Conditions become aligned for widespread precipitation across the area Tuesday night into early Wednesday. Surge of moisture occurs within the southwest flow aloft over our area as a shortwave trough moves in from the west. Increasing dynamic support results in precipitation spreading from southwest to northeast across the area during the first half of the night before dynamic support/deeper moisture moves east of the area. Area remains in cyclonic flow aloft on Wednesday and this will keep showers around, especially in the mountains. In terms of precipitation type low temperatures will be in the 30s and thus looking at rain or snow with the far northern areas being cold enough for the best chances of accumulations. Looking at 1 to 3 inches late Tuesday night into Wednesday with less than an inch in the larger values and points south where warmer temperatures exist. Highs on Wednesday will be in the upper 30s to mid 40s. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... As of 340 AM EST Monday...Still looking at some lingering showers over the area Wednesday night through Thursday morning, but most will be confined to the mountains. High pressure builds into the region later on Thursday bringing drier weather to the area. The flow aloft will be backing Thursday night into Friday in advance of shortwave trough digging into the Upper Midwest. Eventually this feature becomes even more amplified on Friday and eventually becomes a closed circulation off the eastern seaboard. This time yesterday there was good agreement on the evolution of this system and it appeared the chances for precipitation, mainly snow, would be increasing. But now the long range data is not in good agreement with the evolution of this system. It still looks like the trough deepens and eventually closes off...but where that occurs is in question and this will determine who gets precipitation. Will keep the mention of a chance for snow showers in the forecast later Friday into Saturday and continue to monitor. Highs Thursday and Friday will be in the upper 30s to mid 40s, but highs return to the 30s for Saturday and Sunday. && .AVIATION /12Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Through 12Z Tuesday...As a warm front lifts across the north country today, followed by a cold front overnight, we'll have light rain changing to light snow showers before ending. Very changeable conditions over the next 24 hours. Winds have picked up out the south southwest. Some light scattered showers are out ahead of the main precipitation which will be entering the region later today. Best chance for prevailing light rain will be at MSS and SLK. Have mentioned VCSH for PBG and left out mention of precipitation at our other TAF sites for now. A strong southwesterly wind upwards of 40 kts develops near 2000 ft, especially favored during the afternoon hours, will result in strong wind shear and possibility for enhanced turbulence at all TAF sites. Towards evening, rain showers will become widespread at BTV and MPV, while heavier showers affect SLK and MSS where MVFR conditions may quickly deteriorate to IFR or LIFR due to low ceilings. Mist and fog are concerns with the combination of snow pack, temperatures near 40, and high relative humidity. Outlook... Tuesday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Slight chance RA. Tuesday Night: Mainly MVFR, with areas IFR possible. Likely SN, Likely RA. Wednesday: Mainly MVFR, with areas VFR possible. Chance SHRA, Chance SHSN. Wednesday Night: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Slight chance SHRA, Slight chance SHSN. Thursday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. NO SIG WX.
