AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
402 PM EDT TUE JUL 9 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
SCATTERED...SLOW MOVING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL TAPER OFF
ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING WITH WARM AND MUGGY CONDITIONS
CONTINUING. A HIGHER THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY
RAINFALL WILL EXIST ON WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY EVENING AS A SURFACE
FRONT MOVES INTO THE REGION. BEHIND THIS FRONT...DRY AND SEASONABLY
WARM WEATHER IS EXPECTED BY LATER IN THE WEEK AND INTO NEXT
WEEKEND...THOUGH TEMPERATURES MAY TREND HOTTER BY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 402 PM EDT TUESDAY...AS EXPECTED...WIDELY SCATTERED PULSE
SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE REGION
TODAY...CONCENTRATED MAINLY ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN WHICH IS
TYPICAL DURING SUCH LIGHT FLOW REGIMES. CAN'T RULE OUT AN ISOLATED
FLASH FLOOD THREAT THROUGH THE MID-EVENING HOURS...BUT OVERALL
IDEA IS FOR ACTIVITY TO WANE OVER TIME LEAVING GENERALLY PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES AND MUGGY CONDITIONS AS TEMPERATURES BOTTOM OUT IN
THE 60S TO AROUND 70. MODELS ARE IN GENERAL CONSENSUS SHOWING A
BAND OF LEADING MOISTURE AND SHOWERS CREEPING SLOWLY SW TO NE INTO
OUR AREA LATER TONIGHT WHILE SLOWLY WEAKENING...SO WILL CONTINUE
PRIOR IDEA OF INCREASING POPS BACK UP INTO THE CHANCE CATEGORY
FROM THE CHAMPLAIN VALLEY WEST AFTER 2 AM OR SO.
&&
.SHORT TERM /8 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 402 PM EDT TUESDAY...A POTENTIALLY ACTIVE DAY THEN ON TAP
FOR WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY EVENING AS A FAIRLY ROBUST H5 TROUGH
AND ATTENDANT SURFACE FRONT TRACK INTO OUR REGION FROM THE ERN
LAKES/OHIO VALLEY STATES. AFTER MORNING CLOUDS AND SCATTERED
SHOWERS/SPRINKLES...SKIES SHOULD TREND PTLY SUNNY ACROSS A GOOD
PORTION OF THE AREA AND WITH DAYTIME HEATING/INSTABILITY AND
APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH...THIS SHOULD BE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO GET
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS GOING ACROSS THE
AREA...ESP BY AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS. A TAD MORE ORGANIZATION
WITH POTENTIAL FOR SEVERAL MULTI-CELL CLUSTERS OR LINES OF
ACTIVITY TRAVERSIING THE AREA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS.
MORE PROBLEMATIC WILL BE POTENTIAL TRAINING OF STORMS WITH MEAN
CORFIDI VECTOR VALUES GENERALLY AT OR BELOW 10 KTS AND PWAT VALUES
NEAR 2.0 INCHES DURING THIS PERIOD. INDEED...AREA MODEL SOUNDINGS
SHOWING MOIST-ADIABATIC LAPSE RATES AND GREATER THAN 80% RH ALL
THE WAY UP TO THE 500 MB LEVEL SO CONCERN FOR HEAVY RAINFALL IS
CERTAINLY WARRANTED...ESP GIVEN 1/3 HR FFG/HEADWATER GUIDANCE
VALUES CONTINUE TO RUN QUITE LOW. THEREFORE HAVE HOISTED A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH FROM OUR ADIRONDACK COUNTIES EASTWARD TOMORROW
AFTERNOON/EVENING TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS POTENTIAL (SEE HYDRO DISC
BELOW). IN REGARD TO SEVERE POTENTIAL...FEEL AFORMENTIONED WEAKER
LAPSE RATES AND ONLY MARGINAL 0-6 KM SHEAR VALUES SHOULD PRECLUDE
WIDESPREAD THREAT. BEST POTENTIAL LOOKS TO OCCUR LATER IN THE
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING ACROSS THE SLV/WESTERN DACKS WHERE BEST
SHEAR AND MODEL SIG SVR PROGS EXIST SO WILL MENTION SOME LOWER END
GUSTY WINDS/SMALL HAIL WORDING IN THESE AREAS ACCORDINGLY. AFTER
MIDNIGHT ACTIVITY SHOULD SLOWLY EDGE EASTWARD AS SFC BOUNDARY
PUSHES THROUGH THE REGION WITH ACTIVITY BECOMING MAINLY CONFINED
TO OUR VT COUNTIES TOWARD THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. HIGHS TOMORROW
IN THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S AND LOWS TOMORROW NIGHT AGAIN IN THE
60S TO LOCALLY AROUND 70.
BY THURSDAY SFC FRONT CONTINUES TO SAG SLOWLY SOUTH AND
EAST...EXITING OUR AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS WITH UPPER TROUGH
LAGGING BY 6-9 HOURS. WHILE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE TRANSITIONING TO A
DRIER AIRMASS...STILL ENOUGH BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE TO PERHAPS
SPARK A FEW SHOWERS OR A STRAY STORM FROM OUR ADIRONDACKS EASTWARD
DURING THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON HOURS...THOUGH ACTIVITY SHOULD
BECOME INCREASINGLY SPARSE AND SETTLE SOUTH BY LATER IN THE DAY AS
LOWER LEVELS CONTINUE TO DRY. HIGHS SEASONABLY WARM FROM THE MID 70S
TO LOWER 80S. ANY ISOLATED SHOWERS SOUTH AND EAST TO THEN END
THURSDAY EVENING AS SKIES TREND MAINLY CLR TO PTLY CLOUDY. LOW
TEMPERATURES QUITE REFRESHING IN THE 50S WITH SOME PATCHY FOG HERE
AND THERE.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 347 PM EDT TUESDAY...THE PATTERN CHANGE TO A WESTERLY FLOW
OF DRIER WEATHER WILL PERSIST FRIDAY-TUESDAY WITH A WARMING TREND.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OVER THE REGION FRIDAY AND PERSIST THROUGH
THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH UPPER LEVEL RIDGING AND A NW
TO W FLOW ALOFT.
INITIALLY THE AIRMASS FROM CENTRAL CANADA WILL BE COOLER THAN
NORMAL AND DRIER THAN WHAT WE'VE HAD LATELY WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S
FRIDAY AND LOWS IN THE 50S. WARMING WILL TAKE PLACE WITH
TEMPERATURES WARMING INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S SATURDAY
AFTER A COOL START IN THE 50S. FURTHER WARMING WILL CONTINUE SUCH
THAT WE WILL TREND TO WARMER THAN AVERAGE TEMPERATURES SUNDAY-TUES
WITH HIGHS IN THE 80S, PERHAPS NEAR 90, BUT KEPT IT MAINLY IN THE
80S FOR NOW UNTIL IT BECOMES MORE CERTAIN.
HAVE BASICALLY KEPT CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION OUT OF THE FORECAST
UNTIL TUESDAY WHEN MORE UNCERTAINTY CREEPS INTO THE PICTURE AND
HAVE INCLUDED A TOKEN CHANCE OF PM TRW.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY...MAINLY VFR THROUGH 04Z THEN MVFR CIGS
VSBYS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. EXCEPTIONS WOULD BE ISLD TSRA THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH LCL IFR VSBY MAINLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS.
WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON MAINLY
ANCHORED IN THE ADIRONDACKS AND GREEN MOUNTAINS. WITH WEAK
STEERING FLOW OF 10 KNOTS OR SO, DON'T EXPECT MUCH IN THE VALLEYS,
BUT CANT RULE OUT SOME DRIFT EAST TOWARD BTV WHERE THE MOST
UNSTABLE AIR IS LOCATED. EXPECTING THESE TO DIMIMISH AFTER
SUNSET. COULD BE SOME FOG OVERNIGHT AT KSLK OR KMPV, BUT PRESSURE
GRADIENT IS INCREASING SO LOW STRATUS IS MORE LIKELY WITH 2-4MI BR
AT THE LOW END.
WEAK BOUNDARY WITH EVEN MORE HUMID AIR ASSOCIATED WITH APPROACHING
FRONTAL SYSTEM AROUND 9-14Z WED WITH CHANCE OF SHOWERS, PERHAPS A
RUMBLE OF THUNDER SO HAVE INCLUDED VCSH. OTHERWISE UNSTABLE AIR
WILL BE GENERATING WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BY 18Z OR SO.
WINDS WILL BE INCREASING FROM THE S-SW ON WED WITH 10-20 KNOTS
SUSTAINED AND GUSTS 15 TO 25 KNOTS ESPECIALLY BTV-KMSS.
OUTLOOK 18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
WED PM...MAINLY MVFR BUT LCL IFR TSRA WITH A FRONTAL PASSAGE.
THU...MAINLY VFR AFTER SOME EARLY MORNING SHOWERS AND FOG.
FRI-SUN...MAINLY VFR WITH NORTHERLY FLOW AND HIGH PRESSURE.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
AS OF 402 PM EDT TUESDAY...AN ISOLATED FLASH FLOOD THREAT WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY TO MID-EVENING HOURS AS SLOW MOVING
PULSE SHOWERS/STORMS CONTINUE ACROSS OUR AREA...ESP IN THE HIGHER
TERRAIN. MANY AREAS WILL REMAIN DRY HOWEVER...INCLUDING MUCH OF
THE CHAMPLAIN VALLEY WHERE THE STABILIZING EFFECTS OF THE LAKE
SHOULD INHIBIT MOST ACTIVITY.
A LARGER AREAL COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ON
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY EVENING ALONG WITH A MORE
ORGANIZED THREAT OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND POTENTIAL FLASH FLOODING.
SEVERAL CLUSTERS OR LINES OF STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH POTENTIAL
TRAINING OR BACKBUILDING OF CELLS GIVEN QUITE LOW MBE/CORFIDI VECTOR
ANALYSIS. WITH 1 TO 3 HR FLASH FLOOD/HEADWATER GUIDANCE VALUES
REMAINING QUITE LOW (~1.5 TO 2.0 INCHES) HYDROLOGICAL CONDITIONS
WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED VERY CLOSELY. AS A RESULT...A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MUCH OF THE REGION FROM NOON TO MIDNIGHT
LOCAL TOMORROW.
