AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
320 PM EDT MON APR 3 2006

FCST CHALLENGE IS UPCOMING PRECIP EVENT TONIGHT INTO WEDS AND
POTENTIAL FOR A HEAVY WET SNOWFALL ACRS THE HIR TRRN.

.SYNOPSIS...
WATER VAPOR TRENDS THIS AFTN SHOW A VERY COMPLEX PATTERN ACRS THE
EASTERN CONUS WITH SEVERAL POTENT PIECES OF ENERGY AND ASSOCIATED
JET COUPLETS. FIRST CLOSED S/W ENERGY IS LIFTING NE ACRS THE CENTRAL
GREAT LAKES THIS AFTN WITH SEVERAL AREAS OF CONVECTION NOTED BY
LIGHTNING DATA OVER THE MID ATLANTIC STATES AND SE CONUS. NEXT
VIGOROUS PIECE OF ENERGY IS DROPPING SOUTH AND APPROACHING THE
NORTHERN GREAT LAKES ATTM. THE INTERACTION BTWN THE TWO ENERGY
SOURCES AND THE DEVELOPMENT AND MOVEMENT OF THE NEGATIVELY TILTED
AND CLOSED MID/UPPER LVL CIRCULATION WL MAKE FOR A VERY DIFFICULT
FCST THE NEXT 12 TO 48 HRS. IN ADDITION...TO THE COMPLEX ULVL
PATTERN...THE TIME OF YEAR/HIGH SUN ANGLE...ALONG WITH LLVL THERMAL
PROFILE WL ADD UNCERTAINTY INTO PRECIP TYPE AND IF THE SNOW CAN
ACCUMULATE...ESPECIALLY DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS.

OVERALL...BASED ON UA ANALYSIS AND CRNT WATER VAPOR TRENDS MODELS
HAVE INITIALIZED WELL WITH 5H/7H FEATURES ACRS THE EASTERN
CONUS...ALONG WITH THE 25H JET STRUCTURE. SFC ANALYSIS PLACES
PRIMARY LOW ACRS EASTERN MI WITH 3HR PRES FALLS INDICATING
SECONDARY LOW DEVELOPMENT OVER THE SOUTHERN MID ATLANTIC STATES
ATTM. INTERESTING SFC TEMP PROFILE THIS AFTN WITH MSS AT 46F AND A
NE WINDS...WHILE ROC HAS BROKEN INTO THE WARM SECTOR AND HAS A TEMP
OF 69F.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
MODELS CONT TO QUICKLY WEAKEN MID/UPPER LVL CIRCULATION ACRS THE
EASTERN LAKES TONIGHT AS SYSTEM OVER THE NORTHERN LAKES CAPTURES
THIS ULVL FEATURE. MEANWHILE...THE PRIMARY SFC LOW WL LIFT NE AND
WEAKEN ACRS SOUTHERN CANADA TONIGHT AND SECONDARY COASTAL
DEVELOPMENT WL OCCUR OVER THE MID ATLANTIC COAST LINE ALONG SFC
OCCLUSION. THIS WL BCM THE PRIMARY LOW TONIGHT AND TRACK NE INTO THE
GULF OF MAINE BY 00Z WEDS.

FEEL MODELS WEAKEN INITIAL 5H TROF TOO QUICKLY THIS
EVENING...BUT ALL AGREE ON TAKING ANOTHER 5H VORT AROUND THE TROF
BASED AND ENHANCING SFC LOW PRES NEAR NYC TONIGHT. IN
ADDITION...THIS ENERGY WL HELP TO CURVE OUT A NEGATIVELY TILTED
MID/UPPER LVL TROF OVER THE EASTERN CONUS BY 12Z TUES. PLENTY OF
ATLANTIC MOISTURE WL BE PUMPED INTO THE REGION FROM A 50-60KT LLVL
JET. THIS JET WL HELP TO ENHANCE LLVL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE
OCCLUSION FRNT TONIGHT. WL MENTION CAT POPS IN ALL ZNS TONIGHT AND
THERMAL PROFILE IS WARM ENOUGH FOR INITIAL BAND OF PRECIP TO BE ALL
RAIN. NEXT QUESTION IS TIMING OF RAIN CHANGING TO SNOW AND HOW MUCH
MOISTURE WL PULLED BACK INTO THE COLD AIR.

MODELS CONT TO INCREASE TIMING OF COLD AIR INTO OUR FA ON TUES WITH
GENERALLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON QPF PLACEMENT/AMOUNTS. BASED ON
1000-850MB AND 850-700MB CRITICAL THICKNESS PATTERNS FEEL SNOW WL
DEVELOP BY 12Z ACRS SLV/HIGHER TRRN OF THE DACKS...AND BE INTO THE
NORTHERN/CENTRAL MTNS OF VT BY 15Z...AND INTO THE CPV/SOUTHERN VT BY
18Z TUES. UPSTREAM OBS SHOW RA/SN LINE ASSOCIATED WITH THE -3C 85H
ISOTHERM FOR THE VALLEY LOCATIONS AND WL USE FOR RA/SN LINE
INTERPOLATION IN GRIDS. WITH PLENTY OF LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH VERY
STRONG 850-700MB FGEN FORCING AND FAVORABLE 850-500MB Q-VECTOR FEEL
PERIOD OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW WL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ACRS
THE HIGHER TRRN OF THE DACKS/GREENS. SOME SHADOWING MAY OCCUR ACRS
UPPER CT VALLEY FROM STRONG SE FLW TUES MORNING...BUT AS WINDS TURN
TO THE NW PRECIP WL QUICKLY INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE. GFS/NAM
CONTS TO SHOW SEVERAL BANDS OF STRONG 7H FGEN ROTATING ACRS OUR FA
THRU 12Z WEDS...ALONG WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE LOW/MID LLVL
MOISTURE. THIS COMBINED WITH PROLONGED FAVORABLE UPSLOPE
FLW...ENHANCED 1000-850MB OMEGA FIELDS...AND PLENTY OF WRAP AROUND
LLVL MOISTURE WL INCREASE WATCH TO WARNING FOR THE DACKS/WESTERN
SLOPES OF THE GREENS. FEEL BEST CHANCE FOR A SIGNIFICANT SNOW
ACCUMULATION WL BE ABOVE 1000 FEET ACRS THE DACKS AND ALONG A JAY
PEAK TO STOWE LINE IN THE GREEN MTNS. WL MENTION TOTAL SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS OF 4 TO 8 INCHES IN THE DACKS AND 8 TO 14 INCHES
ALONG THE WESTERN SLOPES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE NEAR
JAY PEAK BY WEDS MORNING. WL MENTION 4 TO 8 INCHES FOR THE SOUTHERN
GREENS AND CONT WATCH FOR UPPER CT VALLEY DUE TO DOWNSLOPING
DELAYING THE SNOW FROM ACCUMULATING. OTHERWISE...GIVEN STRONG
DYNAMICS AND VERY COLD AIRMASS ADVECTING INTO FA...FEEL EVEN CPV WL
SEE SOME ACCUMULATING SNOW ON GRASSY SFC. WL MENTION AN INCH OR TWO
BY 00Z WEDS AND ANOTHER INCH OR SO OVERNIGHT INTO WEDS.

UPSLOPE FLW AND WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WL CONT INTO WEDS WITH PROGGED
85H TEMPS NEAR -10C...SUPPORTING HIGHS ONLY IN THE 30S TO L40S. SOME
MORE ACCUMULATION WL BE POSSIBLE ACRS THE WESTERN SLOPES AND MTNS OF
NORTH-CENTRAL VT ON WEDS.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
RIDGING AND FAIR WEATHER AT START OF EXTENDED PERIOD THURSDAY
NIGHT/EARLY FRIDAY...THEN APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SPREADS
WARM FRONTAL RAIN ACROSS THE REGION LATE FRIDAY. MODEL DIFFERENCES
WE SAW YESTERDAY STARTING TO COME TOGETHER...BUT ECMWF REMAINS THE
FASTEST IN BRINGING THE SURFACE FRONT THROUGH THE REGION BY 12Z
SATURDAY. GFS DELAYS PASSAGE AS A SURFACE LOW SPINS UP IN THE SAINT
LAWRENCE VALLEY..THEN MOVES THROUGH ABOUT 12HRS BEHIND THE ECMWF
FORECAST. BETWEEN ALL SOLUTIONS...CHC POPS MOVE IN WEST TO EAST
STARTING FRIDAY...THEN DECREASE WEST TO EAST ON SATURDAY.

DIFFERENCES IN MODEL TIMING MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO TIME THE MOVEMENT
OF COLDER AIR ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW...AND THUS PICK A TIME FOR
PRECIP CHANGEOVER. AT THIS TIME WENT WITH RW/SW MIX IN THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...BUT KEPT ST. LAWRENCE...
CHAMPLAIN VALLEYS AND RUTLAND/WINDSOR VT COUNTIES IN WARMER AIR AND
RAIN.

USED HPC GRIDS TO INITIALIZE WITH SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO POP FIELDS.
TEMP/WIND/SKY GRIDS ALL OK.

.AVIATION...
COMPLICATED AVIATION FORECAST THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY. BAND VFR LIGHT
RAIN MOVING WEST TO EAST THROUGH TAF SITES AT 18Z...SHOULD EXIT KMPV
