Seasonably cold and brisk conditions will be the rule across the North Country through Monday as northwesterly winds prevail. An embedded upper level disturbance will bring scattered snow shower activity to the North Country tonight into Sunday morning. Snowfall accumulations will generally be less than an inch in valley locations, but several inches of snow are possible across the northern Green Mountains. The coldest temperatures of this stretch are expected on Monday, with rapidly moderating temperatures forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday next week. Present indications suggest generally dry weather for much of next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/... As of 322 AM EST Saturday...Lingering low clouds and flurries will rapidly dissipate early this evening as shortwave trough translates east of VT as low-level drying continues. Low-level CAA has been strong overnight, with temperatures falling back into the teens across much of northern NY and into the low-mid 20s across VT at 08Z. Will see gusty NW winds gradually diminish later this morning with increasing sunshine expected (and mostly sunny conditions from late morning through afternoon). High temperatures will be notably cooler than recent days, generally in the low- mid 30s, except upper 20s across the northern Adirondacks. Next embedded shortwave trough in northwest flow arrives tonight with strong 700-500mb height falls noted. Should see widespread light snow shower activity develop after 03Z Sunday, and persist through the overnight hours. Orographic ascent and developing shallow daytime instability should allow scattered snow showers to persist thru Sunday across the higher terrain, especially for the central and northern Green Mtns. Should see snowfall amts of 0.5"-1" across valley locations, with snow-to- liquid ratios a fluffy 20:1. Orographic ascent brings 1-3" snowfall to the higher terrain, and possibly locally higher for the summits from Mt. Mansfield to Jay Peak (3-5") by late afternoon on Sunday. Abundant clouds will keep overnight lows in the low- mid 20s, except a few upper teens across the Northern Adirondacks and far nern VT. Brisk NW winds will be the main story on Sunday, with next surge of low-level CAA and steep lapse rates promoting strong low- level mixing. Widespread NW winds 15-25 mph expected for the daylight hours Sunday, with gusts up to 35 mph, especially on the ern slopes of the Adirondacks and Green Mtns. High temperatures on Sunday generally in the upper 20s to lower 30s, with a few mid 30s possible across s-central VT. Sunny breaks are possible in valley locations later in the day. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... As of 300 AM EST Saturday...The back side of the upper trough pulls east Sunday night with northern mountain snow showers gradually ending by Monday morning as sprawling 1030+ hPa surface high builds into the region. Given persistent and gusty gradient northwest flow have leaned just a tad warmer than blended guidance for overnight lows - generally offering +/- single digits to near 10F in the Champlain Valley/southern VT. Then partly to mostly sunny and unseasonably cold for Monday, though winds will trend light with aforementioned high nearly overhead. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest this will be the coldest day until next November or December as highs struggle into the mid teens to lower 20s, and lows Tuesday morning mainly +/- single digits - tough to do for mid-March. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... As of 300 AM EST Saturday...The general trends from Tuesday onward into later next week suggest an overall quiet weather pattern as temperatures moderate considerably. Latest guidance supports the idea that two separate and moderating southern Canada high pressure systems will build southward and essentially act to shunt any north/northeastward progression of central US systems attempting to ride toward the region. Consensus is now solid that a weakening feature will ride into the area later Tuesday night into the first half of Wednesday, then some lingering uncertainty during the Thursday/Friday time frame on how far northeast another low pressure system makes it into our area. For now I've offered decaying slight chance PoPs for some light snow shower activity for the first system, then capped values mainly from 25-35% for Thu/Fri. As mentioned above, temperatures will moderate quickly after Monday, topping out in the 30s to around 40 on Tuesday, and in the 40s to around 50 for Wed/Thu. Toward the back end of the week there is some evidence of a mainly dry frontal passage associated with the second high pressure system off to our north, allowing temperatures to cool back into the 30s by Fri/Sat. && .AVIATION /09Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Through 12Z Saturday...Second axis of snow shower activity moving swd from southern Quebec will bring periods of 2-4SM in light snow shower activity through 09Z at BTV/PBG/MPV/SLK. Otherwise BKN-OVC VFR ceilings will prevail through the overnight before scattering out after sunrise. NW winds will remain strong, with gusts generally 20-30kt through 12-15Z this morning. Should see winds NW 10-12kt with gusts to 20kt during the late morning through afternoon hours on Saturday, along with VFR conditions areawide. Additional light snow showers are possible Saturday night, mainly after 03Z, and may result in intervals of MVFR or IFR conditions. Outlook... Sunday: VFR. Windy with gusts to 30 kt. Chance SHSN. Sunday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHSN. Monday: VFR. NO SIG WX. Monday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX. Tuesday: VFR. Slight chance SHSN. Tuesday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHSN. Wednesday: VFR. Slight chance SHSN. && .BTV WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VT...None.
