What forecasters said that day

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

Area forecast discussion, Jun 21, 3:27 PM EDT, 4 hours 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
327 PM EDT Mon Jun 21 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Thunderstorms, some strong to severe, will continue to move
across the North Country this afternoon and evening. Damaging
winds, large hail, heavy downpours, and frequent lightning will
be the main threats with any thunderstorms. The threat for
storms will come to an end later tonight as a cold front moves
into the region and cooler and drier weather moves in for the
remainder of the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 327 PM EDT Monday...Forecast remains on track for strong
to severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening across much
of our area. Main area of thunderstorms is moving into the
northern Adirondacks and we have already had reports of downed
trees across portions of Saint Lawrence County. Deep layer shear
remains favorable over the area and storms are moving into area
of maximum instability. Thus expect strong to severe storms to
continue this afternoon and evening over the remainder of our
area with damaging winds, large hail, heavy downpours, and
frequent lightning.

Eventually the convection comes to an end later tonight as a
cold front moves in overnight. Cooler and drier air will help
decrease the areal coverage of showers with a few lingering
showers later on Tuesday over southern Vermont. Noticeable
cooler temperatures will be on tap for Tuesday with highs in the
60s to around 70. Dry weather and no precipitation is expected
Tuesday night with lows in the 40s, but some 30s in the
mountains.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 327 PM EDT Monday...A quiet stretch of weather is
expected for the middle to end of the work week as a ridge of
high pressure builds into the region. On Wednesday temperatures
will run several degrees below normal as a cold upper level
trough traverses the area. Highs will be cool in the upper 60s
to low 70s, and lows Wednesday night in the mid 40s to low 50s
under clear/sunny skies. As the surface high shifts offshore
Thursday, more summer-like temperatures evolve as
south/southwesterly surface to mid-level flow redevelops. Highs
both days bump back into the upper 70s to mid 80s, with lows
near normal to slightly above in the 50s to 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 327 PM EDT Monday...Heading into the weekend attention
turns to a developing full-latitude trough over the central
CONUS which will enhance southwesterly flow over the Northeast
and usher in increased heat and humidity. Temperatures each day
will be firmly in the upper 70s to mid 80s with dewpoints
increasingly muggy, especially Sunday and Monday. The potential
for afternoon/evening showers and thunderstorms will also exist
each day with the best chances Sunday and Monday.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Through 18Z Tuesday...Heads up for strong to severe
thunderstorms across the entire area right through 02z. Wind
gusts of 40 to 50 knots can be expected with any of the storms
along with heavy rainfall and frequent lightning. There may even
be some hail as well. These storms will produce IFR to LIFR
conditions during this period. Improving conditions are expected
between 02z and 06z as storms come to an end, but showers
linger. Eventually the winds shift to the west and northwest
after 12z and VFR conditions are then expected for the remainder
of the period.

Outlook...

Tuesday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Wednesday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Wednesday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Thursday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Thursday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Friday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Friday Night: VFR. Chance SHRA.
Saturday: VFR. Chance SHRA, Slight chance TSRA.

&&

.MARINE...
Active weather will continue into tonight across Lake Champlain
with south winds in the 15 to 25 knot range with gusts to 35
knots. This will create very choppy conditions, especially over
the northern portions of the lake. Storms will move across the
lake through 7:00 pm and any storms will likely produce strong
wind gusts, hail, heavy downpours, and frequent lightning.

&&

.BTV WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
VT...None.
NY...None.
