319 FXUS61 KBTV 010225 AFDBTV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Burlington VT 1025 PM EDT Sun Jun 30 2024 .SYNOPSIS... Thunderstorms will wane through the late afternoon and evening hours, though scattered showers will linger into the overnight. Quieter weather is expected for the upcoming week with seasonable warmth and mostly rain-free conditions. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/... As of 1023 PM EDT Sunday...We`re still watching the last piece of this front slowly drag itself through the region. Precipitation intensity continues to taper off with the areal coverage slowly but surely shrinking. Things are starting to cool off nicely. Spying a few upper 50s to lower 60s just north of the international border that will make their way across soon. Previous discussion below. Ridging will begin to build over the area on Monday, leading to clearing skies, especially by the afternoon. Temperatures will be much cooler than today, mainly in the 70s. The dry and cool conditions will continue Monday night, with lows in the upper 40s to mid 50s. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT/... As of 326 PM EDT Sunday...High pressure will be directly overhead on Tuesday, bringing dry and sunny weather. Winds will be very light as well. Highs will be in the 70s and low 80s. Light winds will continue into Tuesday night and it should allow for decent radiational cooling. However, high clouds will be beginning to stream in from the west. Lows should drop into the 50s and 60s. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... As of 326 PM EDT Sunday...After a dry day on Wednesday, a weakening cold front passes into the region Wednesday night and brings some showers and possible embedded thunderstorms. The most likely solution is that it passes through northern New York in the evening and through Vermont around and after midnight. However, there is still decent ensemble spread so put a lot of chance PoPs on either side for now until confidence grows. While there is a low chance of thunderstorms, there is no severe risk. The showers have trended to look a little more scattered compared to yesterday. While the front will not bring in a dry airmass behind it, it will shunt the ridge back to the south before it can become entrenched over the area send the temperatures and humidity to high levels. The formal front generally dissipates but there will still be a bit of a boundary in place on Thursday. There is the possibility that a few showers fire along this but anything would be light and scattered. Overall, the shower threat for the Fourth of July is decreasing and thunderstorms are not expected regardless. The boundary looks to push to the south for Friday and it should be a completely dry day. A area of low pressure moves into the region for the weekend and brings more chances of rain showers. && .AVIATION /03Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Through 00Z Tuesday...Conditions are mainly VFR right now. There`s a strip of showers about to reach KSLK and KPBG that cold briefly reduce visibilities to about 3 to 5 SM for 30 minutes to an hour. They could reach KBTV as well, but the trend will be for showers to break apart. Post-frontal stratus will build across northern New York, especially. This will result in some MVFR ceilings at KSLK, KRUT, and possibly KMPV, mainly between 04z and 12z. KSLK may come close to 800-1000 ft ceilings between 07z and 11z, and is not currently shown in the TAF. Otherwise, after 12z, anticipate gradually clearing skies. Winds will continue to shift towards the northwest or west at 5 to 10 knots and decline towards about 5 knots after 04z. Beyond 14z, winds pick up again to 5 to 10 knots with a few gusts to 16 to 18 knots that subside after 22z Monday. Outlook... Monday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX. Tuesday: VFR. NO SIG WX. Tuesday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX. Wednesday: VFR. Chance SHRA. Wednesday Night: VFR. Chance SHRA, Slight chance TSRA. Independence Day: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Slight chance SHRA. Thursday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX. Friday: VFR. Slight chance SHRA, Slight chance TSRA. && .BTV WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VT...None.
