What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind chill warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Burlington, VT wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind chill warning went out at Mar 10, 2:33 PM EST, 32 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 10, 2:33 PM EST, 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
233 PM EST Fri Mar 10 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong arctic cold front will sweep South across the area
this afternoon into the early evening along with a period of
heavier snow showers and possible squalls. Behind this front
much colder air arrives for the upcoming weekend. A wind chill
advisory is in effect from 1 am to 1 pm Saturday for parts of
the region. Cold weather continues into next week with
additional chances of snow by Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
As of 1239 PM EST Friday...Forecast remains on track for this
afternoon with surface obs and new GOES-R satellite imagery
showing the widely advertised arctic front dropping into the
Ottawa/St. Lawrence Valley with light snow developing out ahead
of the boundary. Convective nature to the clouds across northern
New York and and portions of northern Vermont indicate there
still remains some potential for some squall activity but our
feeling is that it won't be as widespread as yesterday morning
and fairly isolated. Average snowfall through the daylight hours
should be a dusting to perhaps 2 inches, with localized higher
amounts possible in any squalls that do develop.

Previous Discussion for tonight...
Tonight will be very cold with strong cold air advection and
pressure gradient leading to minimum temperatures in the single
digits above and below zero with some negative teens in the
Dacks and Northern Green Mountains. Strong North-Northwesterly
winds will continue through the overnight hours will be around
10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph. Have issued a wind chill
advisory from 1 am to 1 pm Saturday for the Northern Adirondacks
and from the spine of the Greens eastward, as well as the
extreme Northern Champlain valley.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 400 AM EST Friday...Saturday will continue with very cold
temperatures and gusty winds. Apparent temperatures will be
above wind chill advisory criteria, but it will still be very
cold. Maximum temperatures on Saturday will only be in the
single digits to lower teens. Winds will continue to be brisk
with tight pressure gradient, 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph.
May have some lingering light snow showers especially across
the higher terrain with upper level trough and vorticity
advection moving across the area. May have wind chill issues
again Saturday night as temperatures once again drop into the
single digits above and below zero. Winds and wind gusts will be
a bit lighter than Friday night, but still brisk. Surface high
pressure will be building Saturday night into Sunday, but
Northwesterly upper level flow remains with upper level trough
still over us. Temperatures will about twenty degrees below
seasonal normals through the weekend, with Saturday night
slightly warmer than tonight and Sunday slightly warmer than
Saturday.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 230 PM EST Friday...Monday very quiet and cold with
1035mb high pres anchored across northern New England. Expecting
a cold day with some high clouds possible during the afternoon
hours. Progged 850mb temps between -16c and -18c...but with
light winds mixing is limited...so looking at 925mb temps show
values between -12c and -14c supporting highs mid teens to mid
20s...with light winds.

Tuesday through Thursday...watching the development of a
significant coastal system and potential impacts across the North
Country. Still 4 to 5 days away with plenty of uncertainty given
large spread in models between the GFS/UKMET and GEM/ECMWF. 12z data
shows potential surface track from CT River Valley to well southeast
of the benchmark...leading to lots of uncertainty.

The key to the forecast is timing of short wave interaction and
phasing across the eastern CONUS on Monday into Tuesday...and
eventual surface low pres track. The southern stream energy is still
about 1000 mile off the NW CONUS coast...while northern stream is
around the arctic circle. The GFS the past 3 runs in a row show
these two vort centers phasing and developing a deep closed 5h/7h
circulation with surface low pres of 998mb near Hatteras on 12z Tues
and moving directly north to a 990mb low near Canaan, VT by 12z
Weds. This would advect plenty of deep Atlantic moisture back over
cold air supplied by departing arctic high pres to produce a
widespread significant snowfall across our region. The closing 5h/7h
circulations and blocking high pres to the north...would support a
prolonged snow event with several parts from front side warm air
advection lift to long duration upslope/backside deformation snow on
Weds into Thurs. This general idea is also supported by the 00z/12z
Ukmet progs...we would have to watch potential warm nose between
4500 and 8000 feet...associated with deep easterly flow...supporting
some mixed precip. If the past 3 runs of the gfs were to verify
exactly with surface low track and qpf fields we would be looking at
widespread significant snowfall. Also...just viewed the new 12z gfs
ensemble and the mean surface low track and 7h/5h mean fields are
very favorable for snowfall across our region.

However...the 00z/12z GEM/Euro paints a completely different story
across our region with much less impacts...as system stays unphased
with only minor impacts. The GEM/Euro solutions show two distinct
energy centers at 12z Tuesday with one located over the se CONUS
helping to develop low pres near Hatteras and northern stream over
the western Great Lakes. These two energy pieces never really phase
and keep our cwa on western edge of deeper qpf fields...as surface
low pres tracks southeast of the 40/70 benchmark and lies on the
eastern side of the guidance envelope. Taking these two solutions
verbatim would suggests advisory level snow eastern/southern
cwa...with maybe a couple inches here in the CPV.

Plenty of uncertainty and lots of time to investigate new model
runs...when short waves of interest are being better sampled by
upper air balloons. For this package I have expanded the likely pops
into the CPV for late Tuesday into Weds...and kept some terrain
focused upslope precip into Weds Afternoon/Evening. This will help
to keep us from flip flopping in pops when new data arrives and
keeps our forecast consistent. Temps through the period will be
below normal...mainly highs in the 20s and lows in the teens to near
20f.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z Friday THROUGH Wednesday/...
Through 18Z Saturday...Overall, VFR conditions are generally
expected through the period with brief periods of MVFR/IFR in
snow showers and possible squalls this afternoon through about
00z along an arctic frontal passage. Behind the front, aviation
concerns shift towards gusty northwest winds and falling
temperatures with winds gusting area-wide in the 20-30kt range
through the remainder of the period.

Outlook 18z Saturday through Wednesday...

18Z Saturday through 12z Monday...Mix of MVFR/VFR cigs with
isolated higher terrain snow showers.

12z Monday through 12z Tuesday...VFR under high pressure.

12Z Tuesday through 00Z Thursday...Potential for a significant
coastal system possibly bringing widespread IFR snow to the
region. Very low confidence at this time in regards to aviation
impacts.
