NWS Forecaster Discussion
285 fxus61 kbtv 211719 afdbtv Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Burlington Vermont 119 PM EDT Thursday Aug 21 2008 Synopsis... high pressure will move off the northeast Atlantic coast this afternoon and will remain anchored there through Saturday. This will bring warm and dry conditions to the forecast area...with above normal temperatures expected through the weekend. && Near term /until 6 PM this evening/... as of 1024 am EDT Thursday...morning fog in the CT valley has dissipated. The high pressure center over New York will shift off the northeast coast this afternoon with sunny and warm weather expected. 850mb temperatures at cwmw +13c at 12z should warm slightly this afternoon and allowing maximum temperatures of lower 80s in the valleys and upper 70s elsewhere. && Short term /6 PM this evening through Saturday/... as of 321 am EDT Thursday...quiet weather will continue for the remainder of the short term as high pressure will remain in control. Center of the high will drift east of the Atlantic coast tonight and remain there through Saturday. This will help develop a southerly wind gradient and bring well above normal temperatures northward into the forecast area. With 850 temperatures warming to +16c on Friday and +15c Saturday expect to see valley temperatures near 90f on Friday and middle to upper 80s on Saturday. Other locations will see temperatures generally in the 80s both days...warmest on Friday. && Long term /Saturday night through Wednesday/... as of 321 am EDT Thursday...generally quiet weather will continue into the long term with exception of Sunday where we will see a cold front passage. Clouds will be on the increase Saturday night into Sunday ahead of frontal boundary. Latest GFS and European model (ecmwf) in good agreement in regards to timing of precipitation onset which doesnt bring anything across the are until after 12z Sunday. At this point feel the best chance for showers and thunderstorms will be during the afternoon hours where the best heating and instability will be. Even though confidence on this feature occurring is fairly high...will continue with high chance probability of precipitation in the forecast for now. Associated upper trough pushes through the region on Monday and cannot rule out a shower or two as it passes by...otherwise behind this high pressure returns to the region through the remainder of the forecast period with seasonal temperatures expected at this time. && Aviation /18z Thursday through Monday/... through 18z Friday...mid/upper level ridge and associated surface high pressure will provide taf sites with VFR through 18z Friday. Visible Sat pic and looking out the window shows no clouds...therefore p6sm sky clear. However...patchy fog with visible between 1/4sm to 1/2sm will develop between 06-08z at slk/mpv tonight and continue until 12z Friday. Will mention vlifr conditions at slk/mpv. 18z Friday through Monday...mid/upper level ridge will continue to dominate taf sites Friday into Saturday...before a digging trough and associated cold front increase the chances for precipitation on Sunday. The small ribbon of 850-500mb moisture and brief stripe of 700-500mb Omega...suggests overall duration of rainfall will only be a couple of hours...with some VFR conditions possible in the stronger showers. Overall...instability parameters are minimal...but given dynamics and timing of frontal passage...a few storms will be possible. Otherwise...mid/upper level trough deepens across our County Warning Area on Monday...with weak embedded 500 mb vorticity...which may produce a few scattered showers through 18z Monday with MVFR conditions. && Btv watches/warnings/advisories... Vermont...none. New York...none. && $$ Synopsis...Sisson near term...Sisson short term...lahiff long term...lahiff aviation...Taber
