PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

For your protection move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a

Intense thunderstorm lines can produce brief tornadoes and widespread
significant wind damage. Although a tornado is not immediately
likely, it is best to move to an interior room on the lowest floor of
a building. These storms may cause serious injury and significant
property damage.

If on or near Lake Champlain, get away from the water and move 
indoors or inside a vehicle. remember, lightning can strike out to 
15 miles from the parent thunderstorm. If you can hear thunder, you 
are close enough to be struck by lightning. Move to safe shelter 
now!  Do not be caught on the water in a thunderstorm.

Torrential rainfall is occurring with these storms, and may lead to
flash flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
155 PM EDT Sat Oct 16 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front will bring widespread showers to the area
today. A narrow band of showers and isolated thunderstorms is
expected to develop ahead of the front across the northern
Adirondacks of New York by early afternoon and move east across
Vermont during the remainder of the afternoon hours. Expect
strong gusty winds and heavy downpours with any of these showers
and storms. Behind the front colder air will move into the
region Sunday and Monday with isolated to scattered showers both
days and maybe even a few snow showers over the higher terrain
on Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 124 PM EDT Saturday...Main impetus behind this update was
to issue a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for much of the North
Country. The fine line is starting to take shape across northern
NY as expected, and while gusts have not been impressive with
the line itself, it will have the potential to produce gusts to
60 mph, especially as it comes into the Champlain Valley where
some clearing has allowed for greater instability. The remainder
of the forecast is unchanged.

Previous discussion...Forecast remains on track for a sharp
change in the weather later this afternoon as a strong cold
front moves across the area. Before the front moves in we first
will have a warm front lift north of the area this morning,
which has been responsible for the early morning showers and
isolated storms. Eventually the precipitation will become more
tied to far northern New York where the cold front will be. The
rest of the area will get into the warm sector with high
temperatures climbing into the upper 60s to lower 70s. This will
help to steepen low level lapse rates and create some
instability, but not expecting much. The compensating factor
that suggests the potential for some stronger convection will be
a strongly sheared environment. Enough instability may develop
ahead of the front that allows any showers or storms to produce
locally strong wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph and brief heavy
downpours. At this time it looks like a narrow line of
convection will form over the northern Adirondacks around 2pm,
reach the Champlain Valley around 5pm, and eventually eastern
Vermont after 7pm. See no reason to move off the messaging of
gusty winds and heavy downpours with this line and will continue
this idea in the forecast. Total rainfall amounts today into
tonight still look to be in the one half to one inch range. With
the stronger flow aloft, channeled flow up the Champlain Valley
will result in some southerly wind gusts in the 30 to 40 mph
range and a Lake Wind Advisory will also be issued for Lake
Champlain.

The precipitation ends from west to east this evening and on
Sunday we will start to see an upper level low move down from
Canada and into northern New England. Colder air aloft will help
to create a greater depth to the dry adiabatic lapse rates and
this should be sufficient for isolated to scattered showers
developing in the afternoon hours. Not expecting much in the way
of precipitation with amounts generally less than a tenth of an
inch. High temperatures will be back to seasonal normals with
readings in the mid 50s to around 60.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 429 AM EDT Saturday...Scattered rain and summit level
snow showers are expected through the night on Sunday as we
remain underneath the upper level trough axis. Strong cold air
advection through the overnight hours will allow temperatures to
drop quickly, even under cloudy skies, with lows in the mid 30s
to mid 40s. Steepening low level lapse rates will help
invigorate the shower activity as we head into Monday and start
to see some sunshine help create a few hundred J/kg of CAPE.
Highs on Monday will be the chilliest of the season with highs
only rebounding into the mid 40s to lower 50s. Those with
outdoor recreation activities, especially those in higher
terrain, should dress appropriately with temperatures at summit
level only warming into the lower 30s.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 429 AM EDT Saturday...We will see a gradual downward
trend in shower activity across the North Country during the day
on Tuesday as we switch from northwest flow aloft to a more
zonal upper level pattern. Given the more westerly upper level
and low level flow, we should see some weak warm air advection
Wednesday and Thursday with temperatures climbing back into the
mid 50s to lower 60s by Thursday. A developing trough of low
pressure is expected to start forming across the Upper Mid- West
on Thursday and shift eastward toward the North Country next
Friday. This looks like the best chance of rainfall through the
extended portion of the forecast but there are still some
discrepancies across the global numerical guidance. Right now,
it looks like another cold front, not too dissimilar to the one
a week prior, with another slug of moisture followed by cooler
temperatures. We will be able to start fine tweaking the timing
for these showers in the coming days.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Through 18Z Sunday...A line of convection will move through
the region through 00z associated with a cold front. Brief IFR
conditions are expected with the line of convection and we could
see wind gusts up to 45 knots very briefly along the leading
edge of the convection. Shower activity abates this evening with
cigs mainly bordering VFR/MVFR thru daybreak. Instability clouds
and sct showers developing Sunday, esp NY and VT higher terrain.

Brisk SSW winds 10-20G28kts ahead of the front then shifting to
W at 8-12ktsG18kts this evening and then WNW 5-10 kts overnight
into Sunday.

Outlook...

Sunday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Scattered
SHRA.
Monday: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Scattered SHRA.
Monday Night: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Scattered
SHRA.
Tuesday: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Slight chance
SHRA.
Tuesday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. NO SIG WX.
Wednesday: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. NO SIG WX.
Wednesday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Thursday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Slight chance
SHRA.

&&

.MARINE...
A Lake Wind Advisory is in effect for Lake Champlain as south
winds increase into the 15 to 30 knot range this morning and
persist through much of the afternoon. This will create very
choppy conditions as waves build to 2 to 5 feet. Wind gusts to
35 knots can also be expected before a cold front moves in late
in the day and shifts the winds to the southwest and eventual
west. A narrow band of showers and isolated thunderstorms will
exist with the front and localized wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph
and brief heavy downpours will be possible with any of the
showers or storms.
