Mainly sunny and dry today with increasing clouds from south to north this afternoon with comfortable temperatures in the mid 70s to low 80s. Thereafter, an unsettled weather pattern is expected for late Friday through the weekend and into early next week with showers and embedded thunderstorms likely. Some locally heavy rainfall is possible with much higher dewpoints and normal temperatures. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... As of 633 AM EDT Thursday...As expected river valley fog east of Green Mountains, some locally dense that should burn off between 8-9am. Otherwise, all is going well and no changes to forecast. Previous discussion...Rex block upper level pattern will begin to breakdown today as the upper ridge slides ESE offshore allowing for closed low that has been problematic across the Southeast and Applachians for much of this week to slowly lift, weaken and fill Friday and maintain a trof across our forecast area through the weekend. Today will still feature abundant sunshine with increasing high and mid clouds from the south beginning midday-early afternoon but not reaching the northern border til evening. Temperatures warming again a few more degrees from today into the upper 70s to lows 80s. The pattern begins to change tonight as the aforementioned high shifts offshore and a moist southerly flow develops as a closed upper level circulation over the central Appalachians begins to shift north. Mid/low clouds will increase through the night from the south, along with a +1.5" PWAT axis which could produce some isolated showers and/or sprinkles. Overall the night should be dry for most locales, with lows milder than the previous nights in the mid 50s to low 60s. Friday...southerly flow continues with deeper moisture advecting into the area and marginal instability. It looks like a better low level jet and area being more influenced by the approaching upper low versus the departing ridge with perhaps some lift as PWAT's >1.75 inches moves in. Some mid-level energy rotating around upper flow progresses and influences PA/SE NY but it looks like some weaker leading edge vorticity combined with the PWAT surge could trigger a scattered afternoon shower/two. Temperatures in the M70s- L80s with dewpoints climbing into the 60s. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... As of 252 AM EDT Thursday...As a rex block continues to weaken Friday night, we will continue to see deep moisture advect northward from the Gulf of Mexico and western Atlantic. There is increasing deterministic and ensemble guidance showing an anomalously moist air mass moving overhead by Saturday morning that will be highlighted by PWATs approaching an possibly exceeding 1.75" across the North Country. A deepening mid- latitude cyclone across the Ohio Valley/Great Lakes Region should provide ample upper level diffluence and possibly some shortwave energy that should act as a catalyst for widespread showers and thunderstorms Saturday afternoon as instability peaks during the afternoon hours. Some organized convection is possible given decent instability forecasted by the NAM and GFS with marginal shear but the likelihood we see anything strong to severe seems limited at this time. The bigger picture will be the likelihood of some heavy rain in thunderstorms given the high PWAT air mass that'll be overhead on Saturday. It looks like most places will see decent rainfall on Saturday but some places could easily top a half of three quarters of an inch of rain in thunderstorms but trying to pinpoint more favorable locations this far in advance is virtually impossible. We should see this shower and thunderstorm activity begin to wane during the evening hours on Saturday but weak elevated instability and broad lift across the region should be enough to keep some scattered shower activity possible through Saturday night. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As of 252 AM EDT Thursday...Rain, rain, and more rain is on the way for Sunday and much of the upcoming week. A weak blocking pattern is expected to keep the North Country under the influence of an upper level trough that'll gradually decrease in amplitude through the week. Sunday looks as though it'll be a repeat of Saturday with a big uptick in shower and thunderstorm activity during the afternoon hours with heavy rainers once again expected with high PWATs across the region. The closed low across the Ohio Valley will open up and weaken as it ejects across the North Country Sunday night but this feature should act as a good source of lift and may keep more widespread shower and thunderstorm activity through the evening and overnight hours. Monday is also shaping up to be a wet day (noticing a pattern here?) as a mature mid-latitude cyclone begins to weaken as it pushes across the Great Lakes. Monday should be the warmest day of the week with highs in the low to mid 80s with dewpoints pushing the 70 degree threshold. With some mid-level height falls across the region and a ensemble CAPE average of close to 1000 J/kg, it's feasible to think we could have a few strong thunderstorms across the region. However, it looks like Monday could see rainfall early in the morning hours which may stabilize the surface layer just enough to really preclude and strong to possibly severe storms. But guess what? Heavy rain will be possible yet again. By this point we will have to keep a close eye on hydro issues as multiple days of heavy rainers could begin to prime the soils and slow the intrusion rate of rainfall leading to increased runoff and flood potential. And another round of rain is expected on Tuesday. The higher PWAT airmass will remain in place but the longwave pattern is expected to become more progressive as the aforementioned cyclone opens up and allows for faster flow aloft. This should help push a cold front through the region on Wednesday which will finally force this high PWAT air mass out to see and replace it with noticeably drier air with lower dewpoints. We cannot rule out showers of Thursday of Friday unfortunately as some models are showing the boundary stalling just to our east with Atlantic moisture potentially wrapping back into the region. Stay tuned but make sure to have your rain jackets or umbrellas ready this upcoming week. && .AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Through 06Z Friday...VFR conditions will prevail through the majority of the forecast period, with the exception of KMPV where fog possible between 10Z and 12Z will bring reduced visibilities and flight conditions. There is the potential for fog tonight at KSLK/KEFK given clear skies and calm winds however, based on last night's performance, the confidence is too low to include in the forecast. Outside of the brief stint of fog, skies will generally be clear overnight tonight with some increasing high clouds moving in during the day tomorrow with lower-mid clouds toward evening in the south moving north. With the exception of light SE winds at KRUT, winds tonight will be mostly calm, before becoming more southerly between 5-10kts tomorrow. Outlook... Thursday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHRA. Friday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance SHRA. Friday Night: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Likely SHRA, Slight chance TSRA. Saturday: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Definite SHRA, Slight chance TSRA. Saturday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance SHRA, Slight chance TSRA. Sunday: MVFR/IFR conditions possible. Likely SHRA, Chance TSRA.
