Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
307 AM EDT Mon Mar 13 2017
.SYNOPSIS...
Cold arctic air remains entrenched across the North Country for the
next couple days. continuing to bring well below normal temperatures
for this time of year. A storm developing off the Carolina coast
Monday night will move northeast up the coastline, intensifying
rapidly on Tuesday and reaching Cape Cod Tuesday night. Snow is
expected to develop across the North Country during the day on
Tuesday, and become heavy at times late Tuesday afternoon through
Wednesday morning, before slowly tapering off Wednesday night.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
As of 122 AM EDT Monday...Quiet weather under building high
pressure this morning with NW winds 5-10kts for most areas.
Morning lows will be dependent on wind speeds as most of the
area has clear skies through sunrise. Have raised min temps a
few degrees as winds persist and keeping locations warmer than
previous forecast. Areas that have fallen to around zero or
below are contained to higher elevations/summits and areas of
calm wind conditions.
Skies partly/mostly sunny to start Monday but high clouds will
rapidly advance from the southwest to northeast through the day
ahead of our next system approaching for Tuesday. Despite less
cloud cover tonight, temperatures will be similar to last night
with mean 925-850mb temps a good 5C warmer than 12-18 hours ago.
That makes for another chilly night with lows ranging from the
-10F to around zero. On Monday though we finally break out of
the arctic air as the flow aloft turns southwesterly and temps
rise into the mid teens north to low/mid 20s south.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 324 PM EDT Sunday...No significant changes needed from
previous forecast. Forecast remains on track for moderate to
heavy snowfall with Winter Storm Watches continuing across the
entire North Country 12z/Tue thru 00z/Thu.
Overall snowfall amts expected 6-12" across nrn NY, with 8-14"
across central/nrn VT. Please see our web page for graphical
depiction of snowfall forecast.
Concerning the Nor'easter Tue/Wed, a bit less of a range in NWP
model solutions with the 12z cycle, but still some concern with
the 12z GFS, which is further offshore (near 40N/70W) compared
to nearly all the other guidance (NAM/CMC/SREF/ECMWF). This
prevented an upgrade to a Warning for the moment, but if other
trends continue, that upgrade may happen overnight.
Still a complex northern and southern stream mid-upr level
trough phasing process shown by all solutions, but there has
been some consolidation in the track (and depth) of the sfc
cyclone. Looking at 980mb sfc low east of NJ by 18Z
Tuesday...tracking near/across Cape Cod at 00z Wed, and slowly
thru the Gulf of Maine Wednesday as a vertical stacked system
with potential for abundant deep-layer moisture in the comma
head portion of the cyclone across our region thru Wednesday.
Again, the GFS is further offshore and quicker, with more
limited duration/intensity of snow. All solutions have vertical
temp structure cold enough to support all snow with this system.
Arrival of strong QG forcing suggests snow intensifying rather
abruptly from south-north around 12Z across Rutland/Windsor and
then northward to the Canadian Border by 15Z or so. Should see
some moderate to heavy snowfall Tuesday aftn with strong UVV and
excellent dendrite growth shown in model soundings. Snow-to-
liquid ratios appear 12:1 or greater, so not expecting any major
issues related to power outages.
Main impacts will be difficult travel Tuesday thru Wednesday
morning, and potential for 30-35mph gusts Tue night/Wed causing
blowing and drifting snow on the wrn periphery of the low as it
pulls away thru central/nrn ME on Wednesday. May see some low-
level Champlain Valley convergence on Wednesday with continued
accumulations thru the daylight hrs Wednesday. May see some amts
greater than 14", but with the 12Z GFS soln, needed to not
totally discount the possibility that the 500-300mb low may not
completely consolidate. We'll continue to monitor and we'll
obviously continue to refine the snow fcst as the event gets
closer.
Temperatures generally in the teens for lows with overcast
skies Monday night, with highs in the low-mid 20s Tuesday and
Wednesday.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 248 AM EDT Monday...Have to admit very excited about short
term storm and potential for heavy snow...limited time spent on
days 4 through 7. However...after viewing the 00z GEM/Euro
solutions...trends are increasing for another potential storm on
Saturday into Sunday.
First...favorable upslope snow continues Weds Night into
Thursday with deep layer moisture and strong 925mb to 850mb flow
of 35 to 45 knots. See no reason why accumulating snowfall does
not continue overnight Weds into most of Thursday...especially
northern Dacks and northern Greens from Mt Allen to Mansfield to
Jay Peak. Have mention likely to cat pops with chc pops in the
valleys Wed Night into Thursday with additional accumulation of
2 to 4 inches...except localized higher amounts likely. Finding
the off switch to the snow machine given deep cyclonic flow and
rich moisture feed will be difficult. Have trended toward the
lower side of guidance with deep snow cover and brisk northerly
winds and associated low level cold air advection.
Next potent northern stream energy dives across the central
Great Lakes and curves out deep closed mid/upper level
circulation across the northern Conus...as surface low pres
develops off the eastern Seaboard. This system becomes closed
from the mid/upper level flow and sits and spins across our
region for several days...resulting in periods of accumulating
snowfall possible. Based on latest proggs have bumped pops into
the high chc/low likely range from Saturday into Sunday...with
temps mainly in the 20s to mid 30s depending upon location. Lets
see if we can get the snow depth atop Mt Mansfield back to 100
inches given the upcoming active weather pattern. Still plenty
of uncertainty and realize things will change...but definitely
stay tuned as we approach the weekend.
&&
.AVIATION /07Z Monday THROUGH Friday/...
Through 06Z Tuesday...Very quiet with vfr conditions prevailing
at all taf sites with northwest winds 5 to 10 knots...shifting
to the northeast by 06z Tuesday. Mid/upper level clouds increase
from south to north after 00z Tuesday.
06Z Tuesday through Friday...Significant impacts expected to
aviation community between 15z Tuesday through 00z
Thursday...with widespread ifr conditions and periods of lifr in
bands of moderate snow. Greatest potential for vis 1/2sm or less
will be pbg/btv/rut/mpv between 21z-06z Tues/Weds. Gusty
north/northwest winds develop on Weds with areas of blowing snow
and snow continuing with at least ifr vis and mvfr cigs. A slow
improving trend is anticipated by Thursday with lingering
mountains snow showers at mpv/slk/btv and ifr conditions. High
pres with vfr returns on Friday.
