Fxus61 kbtv 210854 afdbtv area forecast discussion national weather service burlington vt 454 am edt Wed aug 21 2019 Synopsis Numerous showers and embedded thunderstorms return to the north country today. A few stronger afternoon thunderstorms are expected with gusty winds, locally heavy rainfall, and frequent lightning. A cold front will follow late tonight into Thursday morning, bringing a few additional light rain showers. Canadian high pressure building into the region will ultimately bring noticeably cooler and drier conditions, with high temperatures generally in the 70s Friday through next Monday. Near term through Thursday As of 444 am edt Wednesday... Unsettled weather returns to the north country today with a few strong to severe thunderstorms and a localized threat of flash flooding. Early this morning, we continue to monitor the evolution of convectively induced mid-level vorticity MAX across nern ohio and lake erie. Meanwhile, a developing sfc-850mb warm front and strong surge of higher dewpoints higher pw values is beginning to develop newd in advance of the vort across s-central ny into the catskills. 850mb flow increasing to 25-30kt will aid in moisture advection into nern ny and vt late this morning through the afternoon hours. Overall, large-scale forcing will become quite favorable for precipitation in the form of numerous showers across our region late this morning through this afternoon. However, the ongoing early am arrival of mid- level clouds and potential shower activity suggest that the surface- based instability may remain limited, and may mitigate a more significant severe thunderstorm threat. At this point, it appears best juxtaposition of low-level moisture and mid-level forcing will line up across the adirondacks ewd across central s-central vt. With instability limited, the greater threat may be localized flash flooding, especially if training thunderstorms develop... Which appears increasingly possible given forcing along elongated east-west thermal moisture boundary across our southern zones. Also have noted warm cloud depths near 12kft, so rainfall should be efficient with expected convection. Have indicated average rainfall amounts of 0.50" to 1", but localized totals in excess of 2" are indicated in 06z run of the nam3km. Could see a strong cell or two further north, but have lowered daytime highs by several degrees (mainly 75-80f highs), and pbl won't be quite as favorable for severe activity with marginal surface heating. Localized flash flood and severe weather trends will need to be monitored through the afternoon hours. Best synoptic support passes east of the region by 22z or so, and a trailing cold front will bring just a few additional rain showers for the overnight hours into early Thursday morning. Low temperatures tonight generally in the low-mid 60s. Pbl flow will shift into the west for Thursday, with 2-m dewpoints falling back into the 50s by early to mid afternoon hours. Included just 20-30 pops for rain showers, mainly across the adirondacks and green mtns, but should see partly sunny conditions on balance across most of the forecast area. Afternoon highs on Thursday will range from the low to mid 70s for the adirondacks and st. Lawrence valley, to 75-81f from the champlain valley ewd across central ERN vt.

Short term Thursday night through Friday As of 253 am edt Wednesday... Upper level trough and associated cold pool will move through the area between 15-18z on Friday bringing an increase in cloudiness and a slight chance for showers across the far northern parts of the nek. Very minimal elevated CAPE shown in model soundings (barely even reaching 0 c in some locations) so not expecting any thunder with these showers despite dry adiabatic low level lapse rates. Winds remains generally out of the west ahead of this shortwave passage so have kept temperatures very near superblend MOS guidance with highs in the mid upper 60s to low 70s. Winds turn out of the NW behind this front which will bring below normal overnight lows in the low 40s to mid 50s across the area. Long term Friday night through Tuesday As of 253 am edt Wednesday... No major changes to overall synoptic pattern and therefore forecast for the extended with high pressure in control through early next week. Highly amplified pattern builds in towards the end of the weekend with large scale ridging and subsidence across new england. Slightly below to near normal temperatures expected Saturday Sunday under mostly sunny skies. With heights rising behind departing shortwave have offered a dry forecast despite some guidance showing precipitation. After this, model uncertainty increases after Sunday with differences in the long wave pattern and quickness of large scale trough for midweek next week. Aviation 09z Wednesday through Sunday Through 12z Thursday...VFR conditions are expected through 13z with increasing mid to upper level cloudiness from sw-ne. After 13z, combination of developing warm front across s-central ny and approaching shortwave trough from the ERN great lakes will bring increasingly numerous showers and embedded thunderstorms to the north country TAF locations. During the 15-22z period, should see generally overcast conditions with a mix ofVFR to MVFR ceilings. Brief ifr intervals are also possible in any heavier convective showers or thunderstorms. A few stronger cells will contain gusty winds and brief heavy rainfall. Winds will increase from the s-sw at 10-12kt, with gusts to 20 kt possible at times at btv. Should generally see a return toVFR conditions tonight, though fog development is possible at slk mpv 05-12z Thursday. Outlook... Thursday:VFR. Slight chance shra. Thursday night:VFR. No sig wx. Friday:VFR. No sig wx. Friday night:VFR. No sig wx. Saturday: mainlyVFR, with local MVFR possible. No sig wx. Saturday night:VFR. No sig wx. Sunday:VFR. No sig wx.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
