AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
419 AM EDT SUN APR 29 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO THE NORTH COUNTRY
TODAY...AND DOMINATE THE REGIONS WEATHER THROUGH MONDAY. DRY
CONDITIONS ALONG WITH MAINLY CLEAR SKIES...AND UNSEASONABLY COOL
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT. SUNNY AND MILDER
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED MONDAY...BEFORE WEAK LOW PRESSURE MOVING
INTO THE REGION BRINGS THE NEXT CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION MONDAY
NIGHT AND TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 418 AM EDT SUNDAY...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER CENTRAL
ONTARIO WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE NORTH
COUNTRY TODAY...AND WILL BE THE DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE ACROSS
THE REGION THROUGH MONDAY. SUNNY SKIES AND DRY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED FOR TODAY...HOWEVER AN UPPER TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE
REGION RESULTING IN BRISK NORTHWEST WINDS...AND TEMPERATURES A
BIT BELOW NORMAL FOR LATE APRIL. LOOKING AT HIGH TEMPS THIS
AFTERNOON ONLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S...WITH A FEW LOWER 50S
POSSIBLE IN THE VALLEYS. EXCEPTION WILL BE THE LOWER CONNECTICUT
RIVER VALLEY WHERE TEMPS WILL LIKELY CLIMB INTO THE MID TO UPPER
50S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 418 AM EDT SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE CRESTS OVER THE FORECAST
AREA TONIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES CONTINUING BELOW NORMAL. CLEAR
SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS WILL ALLOW FOR EXCELLENT RADIATIONAL
COOLING AND ANOTHER NIGHT OF SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES IS
EXPECTED WITH LOWS IN THE TEENS AND 20S AREA-WIDE. MORE FREEZE
WARNINGS ARE LIKELY FOR THE CHAMPLAIN AND SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEYS
WHERE THE GROWING SEASON HAS BEGUN.

HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO SHIFT OFFSHORE MONDAY ALLOWING MORE
NORMAL TEMPS TO RETURN TO THE AREA ON WARM SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW.
EXPECT HIGHS ON MONDAY TO BE NOTICEABLY WARMER THAN THIS
WEEKEND...WITH MOST LOCATIONS PUSHING INTO THE UPPER 50S AND
LOWER 60S UNDER CONTINUED SUNNY SKIES AND LIGHTER WINDS.

FORECAST BECOMES A BIT MORE UNSETTLED AND UNCERTAIN GOING INTO
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AS FORECAST GUIDANCE OVER THE LAST 2
DAYS HAS BEEN QUITE INCONSISTENT. DEVELOPING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
MOVING OUT OF THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY WILL PUSH A WARM FRONT INTO
THE NORTHEAST LATE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. LATEST MODELS
HAVE SHIFTED THE BEST MOISTURE AND UPPER SUPPORT FARTHER SOUTH
THAN PREVIOUS RUNS...HIGHLIGHTING THE GREATEST CHANCES FOR PRECIP
ACROSS OUR CENTRAL/SOUTHERN ZONES AND POINTS SOUTH. WILL
HIGHLIGHT LIKELY POPS FOR SHOWERS ACROSS THESE AREAS FOR
NOW...AND KEEP A CHANCE NORTH. WITH THE CURRENT TRACK AND WARMING
TEMPS...MOST AREAS WILL SEE RAIN AS THE DOMINANT PRECIP
TYPE...BUT WITH COLDER AIR LOCKED IN PLACE ACROSS FAR NORTHEAST
VERMONT...THERE COULD BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN AT ONSET
IF PRECIP DOES OCCUR UP THERE BEFORE DAWN TUESDAY.

WITH THE TIMING OF THE FRONT MONDAY NIGHT...EXPECT OVERNIGHT LOWS
TO BE GENERALLY AROUND MIDNIGHT GIVE OR TAKE AN HOUR OR
TWO...THEN SLOWLY RISING THEREAFTER. LOOKING AT MIN TEMPS
GENERALLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S...THOUGH AS MENTIONED
ABOVE...NORTHEAST VERMONT COULD SEE SLIGHTLY SUB-FREEZING TEMPS
AROUND 30. HIGH TUESDAY WILL BE NEAR NORMAL WITH MOST AREAS IN THE
MID TO UPPER 50S.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 405 AM EDT SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT ON WEDNESDAY WILL
BREAK DOWN INTO MORE ZONAL FLOW AND UNSETTLED WEATHER FROM
THURSDAY ONWARD.

BROAD 500 MB RIDGING ACROSS THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY WILL BRING
GENERALLY FAIR WEATHER...THEN SERIES OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS FROM
NORTHWESTERN US WILL BREAK DOWN RIDGE. FOR THURSDAY UPPER FLOW
REMAINS ANTICYCLONIC...AND TRACK OF VORT CENTER IS ACROSS SOUTHERN
QUEBEC. SURFACE WARM AIR ADVECTION PATTERN IN SOUTHERLY RETURN
FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE VORT WILL BRING CHANCE POPS THURSDAY.

MODEL DISCREPANCIES ENTER THE PICTURE ON FRIDAY...REDUCING
FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. GFS DEPICTS A MORE
VIGOROUS 500MB TROUGH MOVING INTO THE NORTHEAST US TOWARD THE END
OF THE WEEK...WHILE ECMWF IS SLOWER AND WEAKER. ON THE GFS...HEIGHTS
FORECAST TO RISE AHEAD OF TROUGH...AND 850 MB TEMPS RISE INTO THE
MID TEENS FRIDAY. MEANWHILE ECMWF DEPICTS NORTHERLY FLOW AND WEAK
COLD AIR ADVECTION...WITH 850 MB TEMPS IN THE UPPER SINGLE DIGITS.
DIDN'T BITE COMPLETELY ON THE GFS SOLUTION WHICH WOULD PUT HIGHS
NEAR 80 IN CHAMPLAIN VALLEY ON FRIDAY...BUT DID TREND WARMER THAN
THE ECMWF.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THROUGH 06Z MONDAY...VFR CLEAR WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD DURING
THE TAF PERIOD. CALM TO VRB04KT WIND...THEN WITH DAYTIME HEATING
