NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
746 PM EDT TUE JUL 8 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE
REGION THROUGH MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...BEFORE DISSIPATING. THE THREAT
FOR LOCALIZED DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY DOWN POURS WILL BE POSSIBLE
WITH THE STRONGER STORMS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN NEW YORK. A
TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY
THROUGH FRIDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN COOLER AND DRIER ACROSS OUR
REGION...WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES ANTICIPATED. AN ISOLATED
SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE ON WEDNESDAY...BEFORE SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS DIRECTLY OVERHEAD BY THURSDAY AND CONTINUES INTO
THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 635 PM EDT TUESDAY...UPDATED ZNS TO MENTION SVR THUNDERSTORM
WATCH #405 UNTIL 04 UTC FOR ALL OF OUR CWA. WATCHING A LINE OF SVR
THUNDERSTORMS ACRS EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO...WHICH IS ABOUT TO ENTER
SOUTHWEST SAINT LAWRENCE COUNTY ATTM. LAPS INSTABILITY SHOWS SFC
BASED CAPE VALUES BTWN 800-1200 J/KG AND 0 TO 6 KM SHEAR
INCREASING TO 45 TO 55 KNOTS. HAVE NOTED VAD OFF KTYX OF 70 KNOTS
AT 85H/925MB...INDICATING THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DESCENDING REAR
INFLOW JET. THIS DEVELOPING APEX OF THE BOW ECHO IS EXPECTED TO
IMPACT SOUTHERN SAINT LAWRENCE COUNTY BY 715 PM AND INTO THE
CENTRAL DACKS BY 800PM. WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS ARE LIKELY WITH
POWER OUTAGES AND TREES DOWN...ESPECIALLY NORTHERN NY. STILL SOME
UNCERTAINTY HOW MUCH THE LINE HOLDS TOGETHER ACROSS THE CPV AND
INTO CENTRAL/EASTERN VT...AS WE WILL BE DECREASING OUR LLVL
INSTABILITY WITH THE LOSS OF SFC HEATING. WL MENTION DAMAGING
WINDS THRU MOST OF VT...BUT THE HARDEST HIT AREAS WL BE NORTHERN
NY INTO THE WESTERN CPV. REST OF FCST IN GOOD SHAPE WITH LIKELY TO
CAT POPS EXPECTED THRU MIDNIGHT...BEFORE TAPERING OFF TO SCATTERED

SYNOPTIC SCALE SHOWS DEVELOPING MID/UPPER LVL TROF ACRS THE CENTRAL
GREAT LAKES WITH POTENT 5H VORT LIFTING FROM WESTERN NY INTO THE SLV
BY 03Z TONIGHT. THIS ENERGY WL COMBINED WITH FAVORABLE LOW TO MID
LVL WIND PROFILES TO PRODUCE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
STORMS ACRS OUR FA FROM 21 UTC TO 06Z TONIGHT. THE LIMITING FACTOR
WITH REGARDS TO HIGH END SVR WL BE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY AND TIMING
OF SYSTEM...FEEL BEST CHC FOR DAMAGING WINDS OF 60 MPH OR GREATER WL
BE ACRS NORTHERN NY INTO THE CPV. THE LINE OF STORMS SHOULD WEAKEN
ACRS CENTRAL/EASTERN VT AS INSTABILITY DECREASES FROM THE LOSS OF
SFC HEATING. HAVE ALREADY NOTED SFC BASED CAPE PARAMETERS DECREASING
AS MID LVL CLOUDS MOVE INTO OUR REGION...WITH LAPS SHOWING VALUES
BTWN 1500 AND 2000 J/KG...THIS COULD LIMIT AREAL COVERAGE/INTENSITY
OF STORMS ACRS OUR CWA. WL CONT TO MENTION DAMAGING WINDS IN FCST

COMPOSITE REFLECTIVITY STRUCTURES ACRS NORTHERN NY. OTHERWISE...WL
TAPER LIKELY/CAT POPS TO CHC WORDING AFT MIDNIGHT WITH TEMPS
DROPPING BACK INTO THE 50S MTNS TO 60S VALLEYS. SFC GRADIENT SHOULD
PREVENT WIDESPREAD FOG FORMATION. MAYBE A FEW PATCHY AREAS IN THE

ISOLATED/SCATTERED SHOWERS WITH AN EMBEDDED RUMBLE OF
THUNDER...BEST SFC BASED CAPE IS WELL TO OUR SOUTH. CWA WL BE

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 416 PM EDT TUESDAY...THIS PERIOD WL FEATURE A TRANSITION
BTWN MID/UPPER LVL TROF INTO A FAST WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT...BEFORE
ANOTHER TROF DEVELOPS BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. TIMING OF INDIVIDUAL S/W
FEATURES IN THE FLW ALOFT AND AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE MOISTURE WL
BECOME INCREASINGLY MORE DIFFICULT ON SAT/SUN INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK. SFC HIGH PRES SHOULD KEEP FRIDAY AND SATURDAY DRY WITH TEMPS
NEAR NORMAL ON FRIDAY AND SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL VALUES BY
SATURDAY. THE THREAT FOR SHOWERS/STORMS INCREASES ON SUNDAY INTO
MONDAY...ASSOCIATED WITH EMBEDDED S/W ENERGY AND SFC BOUNDARY.
BEST CHC FOR THUNDERSTORMS WL BE NEXT MONDAY...WHEN THE
