AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT

.SYNOPSIS...
AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM EXITS THE NORTH COUNTRY EARLY THIS
MORNING...EXPECT INCREASING NORTHWEST WINDS AND FALLING
TEMPERATURES ALONG WITH SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SNOW
SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS. DRY BUT COLDER WEATHER IS
EXPECTED TONIGHT AND THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE
REGION. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
ON FRIDAY AND BRING LIGHT SNOWS TO THE NORTH COUNTRY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 1148 AM EST WEDNESDAY...HAVE UPDATED ZNS TO HOIST A WIND
CHILL ADVISORY FROM 00Z THIS EVENING THRU 12Z THURS FOR WIND CHILL
VALUES BTWN -15F AND -25F ACRS THE SLV...NORTHERN DACKS...AND
PARTS OF CENTRAL/NORTHERN VT...INCLUDING THE NEK. THE COMBINATION
OF TEMPS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND BLW ZERO...AND GUSTY WEST TO
NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WL CREATE WIND CHILL READINGS BTWN
-15F AND -25F OVERNIGHT ACRS THE ADVISORY AREA. ELSEWHERE...TEMPS
WL HOLD IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND LOWER TEENS WITH WIND CHILL
VALUES BTWN -5F AND +5F.

OTHERWISE...SFC BOUNDARY IS LOCATED ACRS THE CENTRAL CPV AT
17Z...WITH RADAR SHOWING LOTS OF SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY DEVELOPING
ALONG THE WESTERN SLOPES/NORTHERN DACKS. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO CONT
THRU THE REST OF THIS AFTN...ALONG WITH FALLING TEMPS...WHICH WL
CREATE HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. SEVERAL REPORTS OF SLIPPERY
ROADS CAUSED BY SNOW MELTING WITH TEMPS IN THE MID 30S...BUT NOW
FREEZING AS TEMPS QUICKLY FALL INTO THE 20S. TEMPS ALREADY IN THE
MID TEENS AT SLK/MSS AND CONT TO FALL.

TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES WL BE POSSIBLE ACRS THE
NORTHERN DACKS INTO THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN GREENS BY THIS
EVENING...WITH A DUSTING TO 2 INCHES ELSEWHERE.

SFC ANALYSIS PLACES ARCTIC BOUNDARY FROM ELLENBURG DEPOT TO
SARANAC LAKE AT 14Z...WITH TEMPS DROPPING ABOUT 7F PER HOUR BEHIND
THE FRNT. KMSS AT 20F WITH SINGLE DIGITS UPSTREAM ACRS THE OTTAWA
VALLEY. EXPECT SFC BOUNDARY TO BE ACRS THE NORTHERN CPV/NORTHERN
VT BY 16Z...THRU CENTRAL VT BY 18Z...AND ACRS OUR SOUTHERN CWA BY
20Z THIS AFTN. THE COMBINATION OF CAA...SOME LEFTOVER SFC TO 700MB
RH...AND DEVELOPING UPSLOPE FLW WL PRODUCE OCCASIONAL SNOW
SHOWERS. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES WL BE POSSIBLE
ACRS THE NORTHERN DACKS INTO THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN GREENS BY THIS
EVENING...WITH A DUSTING TO 2 INCHES ELSEWHERE. STILL ANTICIPATING
A FEW SLICK SPOTS TODAY WITH TEMPS ABOVE FREEZING AHEAD OF THE
FRNT AND AREAS OF LEFTOVER WATER ON ROADS...WHICH WL QUICKLY
FREEZE AS TEMPS DROP BACK INTO THE 10S/20S THIS AFTN.

FOR TONIGHT...TEMPS WL CONT TO FALL AS COLD SFC HIGH PRES BUILDS
INTO THE REGION. STILL CONCERNED ABOUT NW WINDS OF 5 TO 15 MPH AND
TEMPS BTWN -5F AND 5F...CREATING WIND CHILL VALUES BTWN -10F AND
-20F. WE WL EXAMINE NEW 12Z DATA AND ASSOCIATED SFC TEMPS AND
WINDS TO DETERMINE IF A WIND CHILL ADVISORY IS NEEDED ACRS THE
MTNS AND PARTS OF THE SLV. UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS WL QUICKLY
DISSIPATE BY 03Z AS DEEP LAYER MOISTURE LIFTS NORTH OF OUR CWA AND
SFC DWPTS CONT TO DROP.

OVERALL FORECAST IN GOOD SHAPE AND ONLY TWEAK WAS TO MATCH UP
TEMPERATURE FORECAST WITH CURRENT TRENDS AS IT LOOKS LIKE THE COLD
AIR IS NOT MOVING INTO THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY. SURFACE LOW HAS
NOW MOVED INTO SOUTHERN QUEBEC PROVINCE AND THIS NORTHWARD
MOVEMENT IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY TODAY. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
DEVELOP ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS LOW AND PULL COLDER AIR INTO THE
REGION. THUS HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE EARLY AND THEN FALL
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. WIND GUSTS WILL INCREASE INTO THE 30 TO 40 MPH
RANGE THIS AFTERNOON. THE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR FAVORABLE
UPSLOPE CONDITIONS ACROSS THE NORTHERN ADIRONDACKS AND WEST SLOPES
OF THE GREEN MOUNTAINS. THUS WOULD EXPECT THE GREATEST
CONCENTRATION OF SNOW SHOWERS TO BE ACROSS THESE REGIONS WITH 1 TO
4 INCHES OF SNOW ACCUMULATION BY LATE IN THE DAY. ELSEWHERE ONLY
LOOKING AT SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WITH ANY ACCUMULATIONS LESS THAN
AN INCH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 409 AM EST WEDNESDAY...THE AREAL COVERAGE OF THE SNOW
SHOWERS WILL DECREASE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS AS HIGH PRESSURE
BEGINS TO BUILD INTO THE REGION. COLDER LOW LEVEL AIR WILL MOVE
INTO THE REGION AND CREATE THE FIRST NOTICEABLY COLDER NIGHT OF
THE WINTER SEASON. LOW TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE AND BELOW ZERO. SOME GUSTINESS TO THE WINDS
WILL STILL REMAIN THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE NIGHT AND ALL FOR
WIND CHILL VALUES IN THE 15 TO 20 BELOW RANGE.

BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL EXIST ON THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINS OVER THE REGION. DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED ALONG WITH A GOOD
DEAL OF SUNSHINE. CLOUDS WILL EVENTUALLY BEGIN TO INCREASE LATER
THURSDAY NIGHT AS AN ALBERTA CLIPPER APPROACHES THE REGION. EXPECT
THIS FEATURE TO TRACK ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND ON FRIDAY AND
THIS WILL PUT NORTHERN NEW YORK AND VERMONT IN A FAVORABLE AREA TO
PICK UP SOME LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS. GOING FORECAST HAS THIS
COVERED WELL AND WILL CONTINUE THIS IDEA OF SNOW LIKELY WITH LIGHT
ACCUMULATIONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 409 AM EST WEDNESDAY...A CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL BE DEPARTING FA
FRI NGT-SAT WITH STILL A CYCLONIC MID-LVL FLOW AND CHC -SHSN ACRS
MTNS. SNOWFALL TOTALS FRI-SAT OF A FEW INCHES POSSIBLE... HIGHER
IN THE MTNS.

WEAK RIDGING AT ALL LEVELS LATE SAT/SAT NGT BEFORE NRN STREAM SFC
LOW AND SHORTWAVE MOVE ACROSS JAMES BAY WITH COLD FRONT AND TROF
MOVE ACROSS THE FA SUN AFTN/NGT. MARGINAL TEMPS WILL BRING A CHC OF
SNOW AND RAIN SHOWERS AHEAD OF COLD FRONT SUNDAY AFTN.

THE ABV MENTIONED NRN STREAM UPR LOW WILL ROTATE A SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE
AND SEVERAL FRONTS ACROSS FA MON-MON NGT WITH LIKELIHOOD OF SNOW
SHOWERS AND SNOW SQUALLS AS THE COLDEST AIR OF THIS YOUNG WINTER
SEASON MAKES AN APPEARANCE.

THE MED RANGE MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT OF ARCTIC AIR BUT DIFFER ON
THE AMPLITUDE OF NRN STREAM S/W. THE GEM NOW HAS A COASTAL WITH
POSSIBLE AMPLIFICATION AND MORE WIDESPREAD SNOWFALL MON-MON NGT
WHILE THE GFS JUST HAS THE ARCTIC FNT AND SNOW SHOWERS WHILE THE
ECMWF IS IN THE MIDDLE WITH AN ATTEMPTED WAVE FORMING ALONG THE
ARCTIC FNT AS IT MOVES ACRS FA BUT TOO LATE FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT STORM.

ATTM...FCST LEANING TOWARD GFS SOLN BUT I LIKE THE ECMWF SOLN WITH
THE AMPLIFICATION AND STG BAROCLINIC ZONE WITH LACK OF SNOW COVER
CAN SEE WAVE DEVELOP INLAND VS. COAST THEN COLD AND DRY MIDWEEK.

IT LOOKS LIKE WINTER FINALLY ARRIVES NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY...SFC LOW HAS EXITED FA WITH STRONG COLD
FRONT MOVING ACROSS NRN NY ATTM AS WELL AS A CONTD MOIST FLOW.
THIS WILL ALLOW MTN -SHSN TODAY. MAINLY MVFR WITH -SHSN MAINLY IN
