AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
414 PM EDT TUE AUG 16 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
THERE IS THE CHANCE OF A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM THIS EVENING AS
LOW PRESSURE DEPARTS. SKIES WILL THEN BECOME CLEAR TONIGHT WITH
AREAS OF FOG FORMING AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION.
CLEAR AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ON WEDNESDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE REMAINS OVER THE AREA. CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION WILL
INCREASE AGAIN THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY AS A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
MOVES ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 408 PM EDT TUESDAY...SURFACE LOW MOVING UP INTO NOVA SCOTIA
WITH AXIS OF UPPER TROUGH OVER EASTERN NEW ENGLAND. WHILE STEADY
RAIN HAS EXITED TO REGION...A TRAILING SHORTWAVE COUPLED WITH
SOME INSTABILITY IS RESULTING IN SOME WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER SOUTHERN QUEBEC AND NORTHERN PORTION
OF FORECAST AREA. WITH MOST OF FORECAST AREA NOW EXPERINCING AT
LEAST PARTIAL SUNSHINE...EXPECT SOME FURTHER DESTABILIZATION TO
OCCUR OVER CHAMPLAIN VALLEY AND REST OF VERMONT OVER NEXT COUPLE
OF HOURS. WITH PASSAGE OF SHORTWAVE AND LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING
THIS EVENING...EXPECT THE SHOWERS TO QUICKLY END. HAVE INCLUDED
SLIGHT CHANCE SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS MOST AREAS UP UNTIL ABOUT 00Z.

HIGH PRESSURE BOTH AT SURFACE AND ALOFT THEN BUILDS INTO FORECAST
AREA OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL RESULT IN CLEAR SKIES. THE COMBINATION
CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT/CALM WINDS WILL ALLOW FOR GOOD RADIATIONAL
COOLING. HOWEVER...THE RECENT RAINFALL COMBINED WITH CLEAR/CALM
CONDITIONS WILL ALSO RESULT IN DEVELOPMENT OF FOG OVERNIGHT. IT WILL
BE MOST PROBLEMATIC IN THE CLIMO FAVORED AREAS...BUT WILL BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE REST OF THE REGION AS WELL. HAVE CONTINUED

ALONG WITH COMFORTABLE HUMIDITY LEVELS AS DEWPOINTS FALL INTO THE

HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFFSHORE WEDNESDAY NIGHT ALLOWING FOR LIGHT
RETURN SOUTHERLY FLOW TO DEVELOP. WARM AIR ADVECTION COUPLED WITH

EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 50S TO NEAR 60...EXCEPT FOR SOME UPPER 40S
IN THE NORTHEAST KINGDOM AND PARTS OF THE ADIRONDACKS. FOG
POTENTIAL HIGHEST EAST OF THE GREEN MOUNTAINS.

SOME DEEPENING OF UPPER TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES/OHIO VALLEY
THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. SERIES OF VORTS/SHORTWAVE TROUGHS
COUPLED WITH SOME MOISTURE LIFTING NORTH FROM MID ATLANTIC REGION

ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS THURSDAY IN THE LOWER 80S AND LOWS THURSDAY
NIGHT IN THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S.
