AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
1254 PM EST TUE DEC 25 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL BRING SOME LIGHT SNOW TO
PORTIONS OF THE NORTH COUNTRY ON THIS CHRISTMAS MORNING. FAIR AND
SEASONABLY COLD CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. A
NOR EASTER WILL AFFECT THE REGION WITH HEAVY SNOW WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND THURSDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT TRAVEL IMPACTS WITH
SNOW COVERED ROADS AND LOW VISIBILITY...AND THE POTENTIAL FOR
HEAVY SNOW ACCUMULATION ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 942 AM EST TUESDAY...VERY SIMILAR TO LAST UPDATE.

FORECAST PRETTY MUCH ON TRACK. WITH LATEST UPDATE...ONLY MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS TO HOURLY PARAMETERS FOR THIS MORNING TO REFLECT
LATEST CONDITIONS AND TRENDS. SOME LIGHT SNOW FALLING ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA ON THIS CHRISTMAS MORNING. RADAR
LOOKS A BIT MORE OMINOUS THAN WHAT IS BEING REPORTED ON OBS...AS
LOW LEVELS QUITE DRY IN ADVANCE OF THE PRECIPITATION. STILL
LOOKING AT ONLY LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS WITH A DUSTING TO 2 INCHES
EXPECTED...MAINLY SOUTH.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING EAST FROM THE GREAT LAKES WILL
BRING SOME LIGHT SNOW TO PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS
MORNING. WEAK SURFACE LOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE DISTURBANCE WILL
PASS SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND THROUGH MIDDAY. BEST CHANCE FOR SEEING
AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW ACCUMULATION WILL BE OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS
OF THE AREA...WHILE JUST A DUSTING IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE FAR
NORTHERN TIER OF ZONES. AS BOTH THE UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE AND
SURFACE DISTURBANCE MOVE EAST OF THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON...THE
CHANCES FOR LIGHT SNOW WILL DIMINISH...ALTHOUGH SKIES WILL REMAIN
GENERALLY CLOUDY. MAX TEMPS EXPECTED TO BE IN MOSTLY IN THE 20S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 502 AM EST TUESDAY...SHORT-TERM PERIOD BEGINS QUIET...BUT ENDS
WITH THE A SIGNIFICANT NOR'EASTER WHICH IS LIKELY TO BRING A HEAVY
SNOWFALL TO THE REGION BEGINNING WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST
TONIGHT AND THRU THE DAY WEDNESDAY BRINGING DRY WEATHER AND
SEASONABLY COLD TEMPERATURES TO THE NORTH COUNTRY. AMOUNT OF
CLEARING WE SEE TONIGHT IS IN QUESTION...AS SOME MODEL SOUNDINGS
INDICATING AN ABUNDANCE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE OVER THE REGION.
HAVE GONE WITH A FORECAST OF PARTLY CLOUDY...AND RAISED TEMPS A
FEW DEGREES FROM MOS GUIDANCE NUMBERS. EXPECT LOWS IN THE SINGLE
NUMBERS AND TEENS. LOOK FOR A CONTINUATION OF PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES
DURING WEDNESDAY...ALTHOUGH AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS CAN BE EXPECTED
LATER IN THE DAY.

NWP MODELS ALL IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH LOW PRESSURE OVER THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY WEDNESDAY REDEVELOPING ALONG MID-ATLANTIC COAST
AT 00Z THURSDAY...LIFTING NNEWD ALONG THE NEW JERSEY COAST BY 12Z
THURSDAY. STRONG NEGATIVE TILT 500MB WAVE DRAWS SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE
NORTHWARD INTO THE FORECAST AREA WITH STRONG SYNOPTIC ASCENT
BEGINNING AFTER MIDNIGHT. ONCE SNOW DEVELOPS...IT APPEARS FROM MODEL
SOUNDINGS THAT INTENSITY WILL INCREASE QUICKLY WITH SNOW BECOMING
HEAVY AT TIMES WITH STRONG UVV AND DENDRITE SNOW GROWTH. HAVE
CONTINUED WITH PREVIOUS THINKING OF HEAVY SNOW DEVELOPING LATE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW ON THE GROUND BY
DAYBREAK THURSDAY. PERIOD OF HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION CONTINUES
THROUGH ABOUT 18Z THURSDAY...THEN BEGINS TO DIMINISH AS SURFACE LOW
REACHES GULF OF MAINE BY THURSDAY EVENING. BY NIGHTFALL...EXPECT
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 8 TO 13 INCHES ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION.
HAVE GONE WITH 12:1-14:1 SNOW RATIO...WHICH IS COMMON FOR THESE
TYPES OF SYSTEMS WITH E-SE 850MB FETCH ACROSS THE REGION.

ALTHOUGH MOST MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT REGARDING THE STORM
TRACK...IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE NAM HAS CONTINUED WITH A TRACK A
BIT FURTHER WEST...WHICH IF PROVEN CORRECT COULD POSE SOME PROBLEMS.
THE RESULT WOULD BE POTENTIALLY STRONG GUSTY WINDS...ESPECIALLY
ALONG THE WEST WESTERN SLOPES OF THE GREEN MOUNTAINS. IT WOULD
ALSO ALLOW FOR MORE MIXED PRECIPITATION ACROSS MUCH OF VERMONT.
THE MIXTURE COMBINED WITH SHADOWING WOULD LIKELY REDUCE SNOW
AMOUNTS SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE GOING FORECAST. SO CONFIDENCE NOT
THE GREATEST IN THE FORECAST DETAILS...ESPECIALLY FOR SOUTHERN AND
EASTERN VERMONT. IN ANY EVENT THOUGH...IT WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT
STORM WITH MAJOR IMPACTS TO THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA.

OF NOTE...IT HAS BEEN 658 DAYS SINCE THE LAST 6+" SNOWSTORM AT BTV
(3/7/11) AND THIS WILL LIKELY BREAK THAT STREAK.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 350 AM EST TUESDAY...SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL BE LOCATED
JUST NORTHEAST OF CAPE COD BY 00Z FRIDAY...SHIFTING NORTHEAST
INTO THE GULF OF MAINE THROUGH THE NIGHT. THE COMBINATION OF
ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND SURFACE/MID-LEVEL WINDS SHIFTING
TO THE NORTH/NORTHWEST WILL CREATE A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR
CONTINUED MODERATE SNOW ACROSS THE REGION...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
FAVORED UPSLOPE LOCALES ALONG THE WESTERN SLOPES OF THE NORTHERN
GREEN MOUNTAINS AND NORTHERN ADIRONDACKS. ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS OF 2-3" ARE LIKELY THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH STORM TOTALS
ACROSS THE REGION LOOKING TO BE IN THE 10-16" RANGE BY FRIDAY
MORNING WITH LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS ACROSS THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS.

12-18Z FRIDAY...SURFACE LOW RACES NORTHEAST TO THE GULF OF SAINT
LAWRENCE AND OVER NEWFOUNDLAND DRAGGING THE BULK OF LOW/MID LEVEL
MOISTURE ALONG WITH IT. THUS...SOME LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS ARE
POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE AREA...BUT SHOULD BE
FAIRLY LIGHT AND TAPERING OFF BY THE AFTERNOON AS SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD INTO THE NORTHEAST. THIS SURFACE HIGH
REMAINS OVER THE REGION THROUGH SATURDAY WITH GENERALLY DRY
CONDITIONS EXPECTED. UPPER FLOW REMAINS FAIRLY ZONAL THROUGH THIS
PERIOD WITH SEVERAL WEAK EMBEDDED VORTS MOVING THROUGH THE FLOW SO
WHILE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE OVER THE REGION AT THE SURFACE...EXPECT
SKIES TO REMAIN PRETTY CLOUDY THROUGH THIS TIME-FRAME.

NEXT SYSTEM IN LINE TO AFFECT THE NORTHEAST COMES SATURDAY NIGHT AS
A POTENT UPPER TROUGH MOVING OUT OF THE MIDWEST DEVELOPS SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE OFF THE CAROLINA COAST. LATEST LONG RANGE MODELS OF THE
ECMWF AND GFS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT SHOWING THIS LOW STAYING SOUTH
OF THE FORECAST AREA THOUGH...AND MAINLY AFFECTING THE MID-
ATLANTIC STATES WITH MAYBE SOME LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS
FAR SOUTHERN VERMONT.

BEYOND THE WEEKEND...LARGE SCALE TROUGH REMAINS OVER THE REGION WITH
BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND A CHANCE FOR SNOW SHOWERS EXPECTED.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY...AVIATION CHALLENGE THRU 18Z WEDS WL
POTENTIAL FOR LOW CLOUDS AND IFR CONDITIONS AT BTV/MPV/SLK/RUT.
SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS LIGHT SNOW FROM THIS MORNING...QUICKLY
DISSIPATING WITH SFC HIGH PRES BUILDING INTO OUR NORTHERN TAF
SITES. THIS HAS RESULTED IN CLRING SKIES AND DRIER AIR TO ADVECT
INTO THE REGION WITH SFC DWPTS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS. QUESTION
TONIGHT WL BE AMOUNT OF LLVL MOISTURE IN MODIFIED ARCTIC AIRMASS
AND POTENTIAL FOR CLOUDS. NAM12 AND RAP SOUNDINGS SHOW LLVL RH
DEVELOPING ACRS BTV/SLK/MPV THIS EVENING...WITH POTENTIAL FOR IFR
CIGS. GIVEN SOME CLOUDS UPSTREAM AND SOUNDINGS SHOWING GOOD RH
BTWN SFC AND 800MB...EXPECT SOME LOW CLOUDS WITH A FEW FLURRIES
POSSIBLE AT MPV/SLK/BTV...WL USE TEMPO GROUP TO COVER MVFR TO
POTENTIALLY IFR CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY AT SLK.
OTHERWISE...MSS/RUT/PBG SHOULD STAY VFR THRU 18Z WEDS.

OUTLOOK 18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
SIGNIFICANT STORM WL HAVE MAJOR IMPACTS ON THE AVIATION COMMUNITY
FROM 06Z THURS THRU 12Z FRIDAY WITH LONG DURATIONS OF IFR/LIFR IN
PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW AND LOW CIGS. SOME SLEET WL BE
POSSIBLE AT RUT/MPV ON THURSDAY...WITH EASTERLY WIND GUSTS TO 45
MPH POSSIBLE AT RUT. THESE GUSTY WINDS WL CREATE AREAS OF BLOWING
SNOW AND TURBULENCE AT ALL SITES...ESPECIALLY ON THURSDAY ASSOCIATED
WITH A LLVL JET OF 40 TO 60 KNTS. FLYING CONDITIONS WL SLOWLY
IMPROVE ON FRIDAY AFTN...WITH VFR CONDITIONS LIKELY BY FRIDAY
NIGHT AND SATURDAY.
