AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
945 AM EST FRI JAN 13 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE AND ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT OVER WESTERN NEW YORK
STATE WILL SWING ACROSS NORTHERN NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND TODAY.
THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING MIXED PRECIPITATION TO THE NORTH COUNTRY
THIS MORNING...WHICH WILL CHANGE TO SNOW. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
INTO THE REGION LATER TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...BRINGING MUCH
COLDER AIR FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 945 AM EST FRIDAY...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR
MUCH OF THE REGION TODAY...WITH POTENTIAL FOR SOME WARNING
CRITERIA SNOWS ALONG WITH SOME ICING ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHERN NEW
YORK.

GOING FORECAST IN GREAT SHAPE THIS MORNING WITH ONLY A FEW TWEAKS
TO MATCH CURRENT OBSERVATIONS. LOW PRESSURE OVER WESTERN NEW YORK
STATE WILL MOVE UP ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER TODAY WHILE THE COLD
FRONT SWINGS FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH 18Z. IMPRESSIVE DYNAMICS WITH THIS SYSTEM AS CLOSED UPPER
LOW AND POTENT VORT MAX MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. THIS
COMBINED WITH DEEP MOISTURE...STEEPENING LAPSE RATES AND STRONG
UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION WILL LEAD TO PRECIPITATION BECOMING
WIDESPREAD. IT WILL BE CONVECTIVE IN NATURE AND POSSIBLY MODERATE
TO HEAVY AT TIMES IN SQUALLS.

MORNING PRECIPITATION TYPES HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH FZRA
REPORTED ACROSS THE NORTHERN ST LAWRENCE VALLEY AND PORTIONS OF
EASTERN VERMONT...WHILE THE CHAMPLAIN VALLEY HAS SEEN A MIX OF
RAIN AND SLEET. IN THE SOUTHERN ST LAWRENCE VALLEY..PRECIP HAS
BEGUN TO CHANGE OVER TO SNOW...AND THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE TO
SHIFT FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST THROUGH THE DAY WITH RAPID
COOLING ALOFT BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. MOST SIGNIFICANT QPF TODAY
EXPECTED OVER SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY AND ADIRONDACKS DUE FAVORABLE
TRACK OF UPPER LOW...AND ADDITIONAL MOISTURE INPUT FROM LAKE
ONTARIO. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA TODAY WILL
RANGE FROM A DUSTING TO 2 INCHES IN MUCH OF THE CHAMPLAIN VALLEY
AND SOUTHERN VERMONT...TO AS MUCH AS 6 INCHES OR LOCALLY MORE OVER
WESTERN NEW YORK ZONES. SOME LIGHT ICING WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
MID-DAY ACROSS EASTERN VERMONT AND NORTHERN SAINT LAWRENCE
VALLEY...BUT SHOULDN'T AMOUNT TO MUCH MORE THAN AN ADDITIONAL
TRACE OF ICE. WINDS WILL ALSO BECOME QUITE GUSTY WITH PASSAGE OF
THE FRONT...AND MARGINAL INSTABILITY MAY EVEN ALLOW FOR A RUMBLE OF
THUNDER AS UPPER LOW MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. WE'VE ACTUALLY ALREADY
HAD A FEW REPORTS OF THAT THIS MORNING IN THE CHAMPLAIN VALLEY. MAX
TEMPS TODAY WILL BE IN THE MID 30S TO AROUND 40 THIS MORNING...WITH
FALLING TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON. COULD BE A HAZARDOUS EVENING
COMMUTE ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 459 AM EST FRIDAY...FLOW TURNS WEST-NORTHWEST TONIGHT
WHICH WILL ALLOW PRECIPITATION TO BECOME MORE OROGRAPHIC IN NATURE.
LOCALLY SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THE WESTERN
SLOPES OF THE NORTHERN GREEN MOUNTAINS AND THE NORTHERN ADIRONDACKS.
BEST ESTIMATE IS FOR TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 4-6 INCHES OVER THE
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. SNOWFALL TOTALS IN
THE CHAMPLAIN VALLEY AND THE VALLEYS OF SOUTHERN VERMONT ARE
EXPECTED TO BE MAINLY IN THE 1 TO 3 INCH RANGE. MOUNTAINS SNOWS
WILL TAPER OFF LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY AS FLOW TURNS MORE
ANTICYCLONIC ALLOWING FOR DRIER AIR TO FILTER INTO THE REGION. MIN
TEMPS TONIGHT EXPECTED TO BE IN THE SINGLE NUMBERS TO LOWER TEENS.
THESE READINGS WILL BE CLOSE TO THE MAX TEMPS SATURDAY AS REGION
WILL BE UNDER STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION. ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING IN WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY SOME SUNSHINE.

HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY.
CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES EXPECTED...ALTHOUGH THE COMBINATION OF
VERY COLD TEMPERATURES MOVING OVER THE MILDER LAKE CHAMPLAIN WATERS
COULD PRODUCE CLOUDS AND FLURRIES ALONG THE IMMEDIATE LAKE SHORE.
COLDEST NIGHT OF THE WINTER SEASON SO FAR IS EXPECTED SATURDAY NIGHT
DUE COMBINATION OF MAINLY CLEAR SKIES...LIGHT WINDS AND FRESH SNOW
COVER ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. SUBZERO READINGS EXPECTED JUST ABOUT
ALL LOCALES WITH THE ADIRONDACKS DROPPING TO BETWEEN 15 AND 30
BELOW ZERO. CORE OF THE COLD AIR SLIDES EAST ON SUNDAY...BUT TEMPS
WILL STRUGGLE TO REBOUND THROUGH THE SINGLE NUMBERS...TOPPING OUT
BETWEEN 5 AND 15 DEGREES.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 410 AM EST FRIDAY...NEXT SYSTEM TO IMPACT OUR CWA WL BE TUES
INTO WEDS...WITH ANOTHER MIXED PRECIP EVENT LIKELY. ECMWF/GFS IN
VERY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH TAKING PRIMARY SFC LOW PRES TO OUR NORTH
AND WEST ON TUES...PLACING OUR CWA UNDER STRONG LLVL WAA AHEAD OF
APPROACHING SFC COLD FRNT. THIS WAA WL RESULT IN A PERIOD OF SNOW
SHOWERS ON TUES...CHANGING TO MIXED PRECIP/RAIN...BEFORE ENDING AS
A PERIOD OF SNOW SHOWERS BY WEDS MORNING. OVERALL QPF AMOUNTS WILL
RANGE FROM A TENTH TO FIVE TENTHS OF AN INCH ACRS OUR CWA...WITH
ONLY LIGHT SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATION ANTICIPATED. TEMPS SUNDAY WL
BE MUCH BLW NORMAL WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND
TEENS...BUT WILL WARM BACK INTO THE 20S ON MONDAY AND WELL INTO
THE 30S BY TUES...BEFORE COOLING BACK INTO THE 20S AND TEENS FOR
LATE NEXT WK. ALSO...SOME GUSTY WINDS WL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY
