.SYNOPSIS...
A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS COMBINED WITH AN APPROACHING COLD
FRONT WILL BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE NORTH
COUNTRY TONIGHT. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE. A
COOLER AND DRIER AIR MASS WILL BUILD INTO THE NORTH COUNTRY

HUMID THROUGH THIS EVENING WITH SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY FOR SVR
TSTMS. WEAK LARGE-SCALE FORCING AND MARGINAL H8-H5 LAPSE RATES
AROUND 6C/KM HAVE - THUS FAR - LIMITED COVERAGE OF CONVECTIVE
STORMS ACROSS THE CWA...BUT AS FLOW ALOFT BECOMES SLIGHTLY MORE
CYCLONIC THROUGH THIS EVENING...BELIEVE WE/LL SEE AN INCREASE IN
CONVECTIVE COVERAGE WITH STRONGER CORES PRODUCING LOCALIZED
DAMAGING WINDS AND MARGINALLY SVR HAIL. SFC-6KM SHEAR RANGES FROM
20-25KTS...WHICH SHOULD ALLOW FOR A FEW LONG-LIVED STORMS.

LATE TONIGHT...A COLD FRONT...NOW ACROSS SERN ONTARIO...WILL
TRAVERSE THE FORECAST AREA...ENTERING THE ST. LAWRENCE VALLEY
AROUND MIDNIGHT...AND REACHING VERMONT AROUND DAYBREAK. ALTHOUGH
THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED ALONG AND
JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT ITSELF...LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING SHOULD
DECREASE SEVERE THREAT...WITH REMAINING CONVECTIVE STORMS PRODUCING
BRIEFLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND PERHAPS LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS.

AIR INTO THE FORECAST AREA FROM NW-NE. LINGERING CLOUDS IN THE
MTNS THROUGH EVENING ARE EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY WEST FACING SLOPES
WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF -SHRA. HELD ONTO CHANCE POPS FOR RAIN
SHOWERS INTO THE AFTERNOON ACROSS FAR S-CENTRAL VT AND WILL LET
FOLLOWING SHIFT MONITOR TRENDS/TIMING FOR ENDING PRECIPITATION.

RIDGE OF SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS EWD FROM THE GREAT LAKES REGION
THURSDAY NIGHT...AND WILL BE THE CONTROLLING WEATHER FEATURE
THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. TRENDED CLOSER TO MET GUIDANCE ON
TEMPERATURES THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...WHICH HAS BEEN
BETTER IN STG CAA SCENARIOS DURING THE PAST 1-2 MONTHS. LOOKING FOR
VLY HIGHS LOW-MID 70S FRIDAY WITH MID-UPR 60S IN THE 1000-2000 FT
RANGE. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL DIP INTO THE LOW 50S BTV/PBG VCNTY
THU/FRI NIGHT...WITH WIDESPREAD 40S ELSEWHERE. THE 12Z GFS
INDICATES A MID-LEVEL VORT IN NW FLOW APPROACHING LATE FRIDAY INTO
FRIDAY NIGHT. THERE COULD BE LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY WITH THIS
FEATURE...BUT HAVE KEPT POPS IN THE SLIGHT CHANCE CATEGORY AT THIS
POINT.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

BACK ON POPS FOR SUNDAY HOWEVER AS MDLS HINTING AT RIDGE...TO THE
WEST OVER CENTRAL CANADA...BEING A BIT MORE PROGRESSIVE IN MVG INTO
THE AREA...SO WILL CUT BACK TO SL CHANCE FOR RW SUNDAY AS REMNANTS
OF UPPER LOW PUSH AWAY FROM THE CWA. HIGH PRESSURE OVERHD FOR
MON/MON NGT. A COUPLE OF WK LOWS WILL DIVE OUT OF THE GREAT LKS
REGION CUTTING OVER CENTRAL/SOUTHERN NEW ENG IN SUCCESSION EARLY
TUES INTO WEDNESDAY. BASED ON CURRENT MDL TRACK...WILL HIGHLIGHT
BEST CHANCE FOR -RW FOR CENTRAL/SOUTHERN CWA. HAVE GONE AT OR JUST
BLW GUIDANCE MDL TEMPS FOR ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD...DUE TO EXPECTED
CLD COVER/PRECIP...AND NNW WINDS AS RIDGE SLIDES INTO THE AREA.
