AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT 145 PM EDT TUE JUN 25 2013 .SYNOPSIS... THE WARM AND HUMID WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY THROUGH THIS WEEKEND...WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EVERYDAY THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY WILL PRODUCE HAIL...GUSTY WINDS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. MORE HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY NIGHT. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... AS OF 111 PM EDT TUESDAY...ADJUSTED HOURLY PARAMETERS SUCH AS TEMPS/POPS WITH LATEST UPDATE. BASED ON INCREASED COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS OVER NORTHERN NEW YORK...RAISED POPS A BIT IN SOME AREAS. ATMOSPHERE CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE AS TEMPS WARM INTO THE MID AND PERHAPS UPPER 80S THIS AFTERNOON. THREAT OF STRONGER STORMS WILL INCREASE AS THEY ENTER A MORE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT. GOING FORECAST HAS THIS COVERED WITH ENHANCED WORDING. EXPECT COVERAGE OF STORMS TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND THEN MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS PM/EVENING. MAIN THREATS WILL BE STRONG WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL...WITH SOME HAIL ALSO POSSIBLE. EARLIER DISCUSSION FROM 435 AM EDT TUESDAY...RATHER QUIET WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION EARLY THIS MORNING WITH SOME PATCHY DENSE VALLEY FOG ACROSS EASTERN AND NORTHEAST VERMONT. TODAY WILL BE ANOTHER DAY SIMILAR TO THE LAST 2 DAYS WITH MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY DEVELOPING...MAINLY FROM MIDDAY THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. HAVE GONE WITH LIKELY POPS FOR TODAY. COMPOSITE RADAR LOOP ALREADY SHOWING SOME THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST ONTARIO AT THIS TIME MOVING NORTHEAST. AGAIN...EXPECTING HIGHS IN THE 80S TODAY. CONDITIONS AGAIN DESTABILIZE ACROSS THE REGION TODAY DURING DAYLIGHT SURFACE HEATING...AND THUS ANOTHER ROUND FOR SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. HAVE PUT IN ENHANCED WORDING IN THE FORECAST FOR HAIL...GUSTY WINDS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. BUFKIT FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOWING PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OVER 1.5 INCHES BY THIS AFTERNOON...SO SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE. SPC HAS THE REGION IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 435 AM EDT TUESDAY...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DIMINISH BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT DUE TO THE LOSS OF DAYTIME SURFACE HEATING. ALSO...EXPECTING PATCHY FOG TO DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN THOSE AREAS THAT RECEIVE RAINFALL TODAY. MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN DEVELOP ON WEDNESDAY...BUT DO NOT LOOK AT THIS TIME TO APPROACH SEVERE LIMITS. EXPECTING ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ON WEDNESDAY WILL DIMINISH WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME SURFACE HEATING WEDNESDAY NIGHT. ALSO...MODEL SHOWING A MID LEVEL DRY SLOT TO MOVE INTO THE REGION LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. ON THURSDAY...MODEL SHOW A DIGGING UPPER TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES. THIS UPPER TROUGH WILL HELP TO PULL A LOT OF MOISTURE NORTHEAST INTO THE REGION FROM THURSDAY AND BEYOND...ESPECIALLY FROM THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. BUFKIT FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES TO CLIMB TO JUST OVER 2 INCHES THURSDAY AFTERNOON...SO THE MAIN THREAT THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND BEYOND WILL BE HEAVY RAINFALL. IF LATER MODEL RUNS CONTINUE TO SHOW THIS TREND...THEN A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY NEED TO BE ISSUED. HAVE PUT IN ENHANCED WORDING IN THE FORECAST FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON FOR HEAVY RAINFALL. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... AS OF 145 PM EDT TUESDAY...UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN PERSISTS WITH THREATS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY AS WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS CONTINUE. UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CONTINUES TO DIG SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY BECOMING A CLOSED LOW AS A BERMUDA HIGH REMAINS IN PLACE TO THE EAST IN THE ATLANTIC AND ANOTHER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WRN HALF OF THE USA STRENGTHENS. SEVERAL SHORTWAVES/PIECES OF ENERGY ROTATE ABOUT THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH WITH CONTINUAL S-SW FLOW USHERING IN WARM MOIST AIR. ECMWF SHOWS JET AT 250MB VARYING IN STRENGTH BUT PERSISTENTLY KEEPING SW FLOW OVER THE AREA FOR THE ENTIRE PERIOD. MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW PWATS OF 1-2 INCHES...WITH HIGHEST PWATS EXPECTED LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. 12Z GFS BACKS OFF ON PRECIP FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...BRINGING A DRY SLOT OVER THE AREA WITH POSITIVELY TILTING OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. BUT PLENT LY OF VORTICITY CONTINUES TO AFFECT THE AREA WITH PWATS REMAINING ABOVE AN INCH...SO WILL LEAN TOWARD HPC AND 00Z ECMWF GUIDANCE. THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING AND MAIN STEM RIVER FLOODING WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED VERY CLOSELY AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND...GIVEN THE PROGGED SYNOPTIC PATTERN AND AVAILABLE MOISTURE AND SATURATED ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS FROM SEVERAL DAYS OF RAINFALL. MAX TEMPS GENERALLY IN THE 70S TO L80S AND MIN TEMPS RANGE FROM M50S TO M60S WITH MUGGY...STAGNANT AIR. FOG DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE EVERY NIGHT/EARLY MORNING WITH THE WARM MOIST AIR. && .AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY...VFR CONDITIONS AT ALL TAF SITES WILL SEE MORE SCT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING IFR/LIFR...ESP THIS AFTN AS ATMOSPHERE HAS ALREADY BEGUN TO DESTABILIZE. AVIATION CHALLENGE WILL BE TIMING AND AREAL COVERAGE/INTENSITY OF SHOWERS/STORMS TODAY. SHRA/TSRA HAVE DEVELOPED OVER NRN NY AND SW ONTARIO MOVING EASTWARD...WITH KMSS/KSLK/KPBG/KBTV ALREADY SEEING TCU...DSNT LGT AND VCTS. THE STRONGER STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALIZED GUSTY WINDS...BRIEF HEAVY DOWN POURS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING...AND ASSOCIATED BRIEF PERIOD OF IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS. IN ADDITION...LOCALIZED AREAS OF WIND SHEAR WILL BE POSSIBLE IN AND NEAR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TODAY...ESPECIALLY AS SEVERAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES DEVELOP. THE OVERALL AREAL COVERAGE/INTENSITY OF SHOWERS/STORMS WILL WEAKEN AFT 00Z WED...WITH SOME FOG/BR DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE AFT...06Z WED IFR/LIFR AT KMPV/KSLK....06Z-08Z MVFR AT KBTV/KPBG/KMSS. FLOW LOOKS TO BE WEAKER THAN LAST NIGHT SO THERES MORE CONFIDENCE IN BR/FG DEVELOPMENT. ALL TAF SITE WILL IMPROVE TO VFR BY LATE MORNING BEFORE MORE SHOWERS/STORMS DEVELOP EARLY MONDAY AFTERNOON. OUTLOOK 18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...UNSETTLE PATTERN CONTINUES AS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DEEP TROF ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS WILL PRODUCE NUMEROUS ROUNDS OF SHOWERS/STORMS...EACH AFTN/EVENING...WITH OCCASIONAL MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN THE HEAVIER STORMS. OVERNIGHT/EARLY MORNING FOG/BR WITH MVFR/IFR WILL BE POSSIBLE MAINLY AT KMPV/KSLK...ESPECIALLY IF RAIN OCCURS THE PREVIOUS AFTN. IN ADDITION...SOME GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY AT RUTLAND ON FRIDAY AFTN...WITH LOCALIZED AREAS OF WIND SHEAR AND TURBULENCE POSSIBLE. && .HYDROLOGY... SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY WILL PRODUCE LOCALIZED VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING. IN ADDITION...SOME MINOR URBAN POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE...ALONG WITH PONDING OF WATER IN LOW LYING AREAS AND SHARP RISES ON SMALLER STREAMS AND RIVERS. ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL IS LIKELY FOR THURSDAY INTO THE WEEKEND...WITH THE INCREASED THREAT FOR FLOODING . STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY ON THE EXACT TIMING...PLACEMENT AND AMOUNT OF RAINFALL...BUT CURRENT FORECASTS SUGGEST AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO 3 INCHES IS LIKELY BY SATURDAY ACROSS MOST OF THE NORTH COUNTRY.
