Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
345 PM EDT Mon Sep 3 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong upper level ridge centered across the mid-Atlantic states
will  keep very warm and humid conditions to the North Country
through Wednesday. We'll be a little cooler and drier on Tuesday
after a weak frontal passage tonight, but the heat returns for
Wednesday with heat indices pushing into the low to mid 90s. A cold
front sliding southward out of Ontario and Quebec will bring a more
widespread chance for showers and thunderstorms on Thursday, and
also bring more seasonable temperatures and lower humidity levels
toward the end of the week, and likely into next weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 343 PM EDT Monday...Scattered showers and thunderstorms
are currently ongoing this afternoon, and precipitation chances
will continue into the evening hours as a weak cold front sags
across the region. Still very hot and humid this afternoon, and
CAPEs are still 1500-2500+ J/kg. The best shear remains along
the international border, hence these areas will still have the
potential to see some strong storms through early evening, with
gusty winds and heavy rainfall the main threats, though can't
rule out some small hail as well. Overall, though just isolated
to scattered showers/thunderstorms are expected. This activity
will wane as we lose daytime heating this evening. The front
will mainly bring a slightly drier, cooler airmass to the region
with high pressure settling in from Canada later tonight.
Dewpoints will drop out of the 70s back into the lower and mid
60s, making it slightly less muggy overnight; lows will be in
the 60s areawide tonight. Patchy valley fog is expected tonight
as we see lingering low-level moisture and light winds under the
subsidence inversion. Dry weather continues on Tuesday with the
high cresting over the region. A weak shortwave will ride along
the top of the upper ridge during the afternoon, but don't
expect much more than increasing clouds owing to the dry air in
place. The cold front, which will settle just to our south
tomorrow, will begin to lift back north as a warm front Tuesday
night. Winds will begin to shift back to the south late, but
temperatures will still be able to drop into the mid 50s in the
mountains/lower to mid 60s in the valleys overnight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 343 PM EDT Monday...Potential for near record heat still
appears possible on Wednesday. Current forecast of 91 for BTV would
be a daily record. Strong deep- layer high pressure and an eastward
propagating ridge axis will cause 500mb heights to rise to 594dams
across portions of the North Country. 850mb temperature anomalies
will be near 8C above normal with an unseasonably moist airmass in
place. The latest nested NAM and local WRF output indicates clearing
cloud cover during the afternoon. The current forecast could be
conservative if sky cover is clearer. Highs will be in the 80s to
lower 90s across the North Country. With strong ridging in place and
an unfavorable thermodynamic profile, showers and storms will be
hard to come by. Some terrain driven showers could still develop
later in the day, though. Lows will remain well above normal due to
moist, southwest flow. Lows will generally be in the 60s, with the
Champlain Valley likely struggling to get below 70.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 343 PM EDT Monday... A strong cold front will slowly
shift southward on Thursday as a strong upper trough develops in
Canada while deep- layer ridging begins to weaken and shift
southwards. Some differences in timing and moisture content
remain with the GFS faster and drier, while the ECMWF is a bit
slower and maintains better moisture and dynamics through the
day on Thursday. Better shear still lags behind the best
instability with low-level jet dynamics weakening as the front
pushes across the North Country. Will continue to monitor as we
draw closer, and will continue to offer 30%-60% PoPs.

A welcomed cooling trend will take place with the front to our
south. Dry and seasonable conditions are anticipated for the weekend
with cool surface high pressure to our north. Temperatures will be
in the 60s and 70s for daytime highs. Heading into early next week,
a low pressure system will intensify moving northeast over the Great
Lakes region borrowing moisture from newly formed Tropical Storm
Gordon. This will send the cold front that passes through on Friday
back northward as a warm front. Quite a bit of uncertainty remains
regarding the timing and location of better rainfall early next
week. Also looks like a 40-50kt low-level jet could develop ahead of
the system. Most likely outcome looks to be a wet and windy start to
the next work week.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Through 18Z Tuesday...VFR conditions will largely prevail
through the much of the period under SCT mid clouds. Storms are
developing across southern Quebec and the Adirondacks in
response to a cold front approaching the international border
along with some other local boundaries, and this activity will
slowly spread southeast through 00z Tuesday. KMSS, KBTV, KPBG,
and KSLK have the best chances of seeing precipitation, and
MVFR/IFR conditions will be possible in any showers/storms.
Otherwise, the only other possible restrictions will come after
06z tonight with patchy fog developing in the favored locations.
IFR/LIFR will be possible 07z-13z at KMPV and KSLK, but not
enough confidence at this time to include in the TAF.

Outlook...

Tuesday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Wednesday: VFR. Slight chance SHRA, Slight chance TSRA.
Wednesday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance
SHRA, Slight chance TSRA.
Thursday: Mainly MVFR, with local IFR possible. Chance SHRA.
Thursday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHRA.
Friday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Friday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
