Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
128 AM EDT Fri May 4 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Showers will wind down overnight. Another round of showers with
scattered thunderstorms is expected for Friday. Some of the
storms could be strong with gusty winds. Briefly heavy rainfall
will also be possible with most areas receiving up to an inch of
additional rainfall through Friday evening. High pressure will
build back across the region on Saturday and will usher in the
return of drier weather, although a chance of rain is possible
on Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 2 PM THIS AFTERNOON/...
As of 1032 PM EDT Thursday...Scattered light rain showers are
winding down across the area. May have a few showers skirt
across our southern areas tonight. Some fog has formed in areas
that had rainfall and now have light winds as well as some
breaks in the cloud cover. Any clearing will be short lived
though as more clouds are moving into the area. Previous
discussion follows.

Main concerns for Friday and Friday night will be the potential
of strong to possibly severe thunderstorms late Friday
afternoon, followed by gusty winds Friday evening.

Low pressure is currently skirting by to our north, with its
cold front dragging along in its wake. Showers exist out ahead
of this front, and they will continue to move eastward through
the region as the cold front does likewise. Instability is
limited this afternoon due to this morning's precipitation, so
don't anticipate much more than an isolated thunderstorm that
may produce some gusty winds and briefly heavy rainfall. The
showers will come to an end once the front goes by, and could
even see some stars peak through the clouds. Lows will be in the
50s in most areas.

For Friday...another low will lift across the Great Lakes and
along/north of the Saint Lawrence Valley. This will allow
tonight's front to lift back north as a warm front, ushering
moisture back into the North Country. Although we will see a
brief break in the precipitation, showers and thunderstorms will
redevelop again during the afternoon as the increasing moisture
interacts with another, stronger cold front approaching from the
west. Thunderstorms will be possible as the upper shortwave
associated with this system is more potent than today, making
for better dynamics. A strong 60-70kt jet out ahead of the front
will aid in any convection, as well as add ample shear to any
storms; progs indicate 0-6km bulk shear of 60-80 kt will exist
by late afternoon/early evening. Hence any convection that does
get going will have the potential to become organized and
capable of producing strong winds and perhaps some small hail.
However, the uncertainty comes with the amount of instability
that will be available for convection. Model guidance indicates
SBCAPEs of as little as 200-300 J/kg or as much as 1200+ J/kg.
Much will depend upon how much clearing/sunshine we can get in
the morning hours prior to the prefrontal trough/cold frontal
passage. Even a little instability combined with this much
shear could mean strong to possible severe convection, but there
is still a lot of uncertainty as to exactly how things will
play out Friday afternoon and evening. Therefore, SPC's current
Marginal Risk in the Day 2 outlook seems reasonable. Regardless,
with PWATs approaching 1.75 inches, any showers or thunderstorms
will be capable of producing heavy rainfall. Storms will be
moving at a good clip, but with streams still running high with
snowmelt and today's rain, the flooding situation will need to
be monitored closely. Best timing for storms will be roughly 2 pm
to 8 pm.

The other concern for Friday comes with the aforementioned jet
which will move across the region as the surface low/upper wave
traverse just to the north of the international border. 850mb
winds will approach 60-70 kt; the question will be how much of
this is able to mix to the surface. Lapse rates will increase
once the front moves through, which should allow us to mix at
least some of this down. Widespread gusts of 35-45 mph are
likely, with some locally higher gusts of 50 mph or more
possible, especially over the higher terrain. This is enough to
cause some downed trees and power outages.

The front will finish crossing the region by midnight or so
Friday night, ushering in much drier air. Any precipitation will
quickly come to an end, with some clearing even possible by
daybreak. Lows will be 40s most spots.

&&

.SHORT TERM /2 PM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
As of 408 PM EDT Thursday...The cold front that will move
through Friday night will clear out any lingering precipitation
as a drier air mass is ushered in behind. After a showery end of
the work week, good news is in store for those hoping to head
outside Saturday; building high pressure will gift us with
sunshine. Temperatures will reach the mid to upper 60s in most
locations and the air will feel much less muggy than that we've
experienced recently, thanks to northwesterly flow bringing in
drier, Canadian sourced air. After a windy night in many areas
Friday, Saturday will be significantly less gusty, though not
completely calm.

Flow aloft will become weakly confluent over the region
Saturday night, and clouds will be on the increase as weak
northern and southern stream shortwaves move through. Lows
Saturday night will generally be in the 40s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 408 PM EDT Thursday..Sunday we'll see another round of
precipitation move through during the afternoon/evening hours as
a front pushes through. This will be followed by quieter
weather as surface high pressure builds in to start the work
week. Monday will be the coolest day of the week, with highs in
the upper 50s to low 60s. By Tuesday however, the warmer weather
will return and highs will once again be in the 60s to 70s
through the middle of the week. Looking further into the
longterm, the passage of a cold front Thursday will bring an end
to the dry spell and a return of precipitation.

&&

.AVIATION /05Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Through 06Z Saturday...Ceilings have been trending downward to
MVFR conditions as a surplus of moisture moves into the region.
Widespread ceilings between 1000 ft and 2500 ft are common but
some areas may see IFR ceilings approaching 600 ft; especially
near KSLK. A few breaks in the clouds have been observed which
has allowed for patchy MVFR fog conditions at KSLK and KPBG
through the overnight hours thus far but should improve before
12Z as thicker clouds are already almost over the area. Little
improvement in flight conditions will be observed through the
morning hours but as a warm front lifts across the region,
ceilings could begin to trend upward.

A cold front will push through KMSS and KSLK between 18Z and 21Z
and the Vermont TAF sites between 21Z and 03Z. Showers and
thunderstorms are expected to develop ahead and along the
frontal boundary this afternoon which could create some locally
erratic and gusty winds as storms collapse. Conditions will
quickly trend toward VFR following the frontal passage as drier
air moves into the area. Strong winds on the back side of the
front could produce gusts upward to 40 kt across KSLK/KMSS/KRUT
after 03Z. In addition, those sites may see a period of wind
shear before the gusts kick in as winds at 2000 ft could
approach 60 kts.

Outlook...

Saturday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Saturday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Sunday: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Chance SHRA.
Sunday Night: Mainly MVFR, with local IFR possible. Chance SHRA.
Monday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Monday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Tuesday: VFR. NO SIG WX.

Washington-Western Addison-Orange-Western Rutland-Windsor-
Eastern Franklin-Eastern Chittenden-Eastern Addison-Eastern Rutland-
709 AM EDT Thu May 3 2018

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northern New York, central
Vermont, northeast Vermont, northwest Vermont and southern Vermont.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Showers and scattered thunderstorms will move across the region this
afternoon. Some thunderstorms may produce locally heavy rainfall,
frequent lightning and damaging wind gusts. The greatest likelihood
for strong to severe thunderstorms will be across Rutland and Windsor
counties.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday.

A cold front will move through the North Country just prior to peak
heating on Friday and will interact with some elevated instability
and strong low level shear. This could help produce a squall line
with bowing segments that could be favorable for isolated damaging
wind gusts. Periods of locally heavy rainfall and frequent lightning
are possible ahead and along the frontal boundary on Friday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
