Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
623 AM EST Sun Nov 2 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Generally pleasant, but somewhat cool, weather is expected today
across Vermont and northern New York. Monday will be warmer, but
maybe not noticeably so due to gusty winds of 20 to 30 mph
developing as temperatures reach into the mid 50s to near 60.
Southwesterly wind gusts will be a bit stronger across the St.
Lawrence Valley at 35 to 45 mph briefly Monday afternoon before rain
arrives. Precipitation chances quickly increase Monday afternoon as
a fast moving front crosses the region. Little cooling will happen
behind the front Tuesday with seasonable weather conditions,
followed by a train of several weather systems over the course
of the week.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 123 AM EDT Sunday...Cool conditions are expected today with
temperatures likely failing to rise above 50 for all but our
southernmost locations, but it`ll be overall pleasant as overcast
skies trend more partly cloudy and winds remain mostly 5 to 10 mph.
Winds will remain overnight as gradients tighten ahead of the next
system. Temperatures will still fall into the mid 20s in sheltered
basins, but most will stay in the 30s tonight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 123 AM EDT Sunday...Monday itself will be warmer in the 50s to
near 60, but it`ll be less pleasant as gusts increase to 20 to 30
mph. Flow will be fastest across northern New York. Fortunately,
rain will begin advancing before we can develop better low-level
lapse rates. However, there`s still probably a window from about
11am-4pm across the St. Lawrence Valley where wind gusts increase to
35 to 45 mph on Monday.

Around 2pm or so, rain will move east of the St. Lawrence River
along and just behind a speedy front. The front is dynamically
strong, but the forward motion is so fast. Most areas will likely
see about 0.05-0.25" of precipitation by 8am Tuesday. A few showers
lingering on the backside will likely transition to snow Monday
night into early Tuesday. The overall progressive, channeled pattern
will filter in dry air fairly fast with temperatures quickly
moderating such that Tuesday is fairly average in mid 40s to mid
50s. West-northwest winds will be breezy across most the entire area
at 25 to 35 mph in the afternoon.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 123 AM EDT Sunday...An active pattern continues as our region
remains embedded in the westerlies with fast, semi-zonal flow aloft
in the mid to late week time frame. There are no less than two
additional systems to track, one later Wednesday into Thursday
morning, and a slightly stronger system later Friday into Saturday.
Both of these systems will be accompanied by blustery flow with
mainly rain as the p-type in mid to lower elevations save perhaps a
brief window of lowering snow levels as precipitation tapers off
with the first system Thursday morning. Given the relatively fast
flow aloft, no large-scale temperature swings are expected through
the period with daily averages generally remaining within 5 degrees
of seasonal norms.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Through 12Z Monday...BKN/OVC VFR cigs from 035-050 AGL to
persist at most terminals through 18-21Z, after which skies
trend SCT/SKC this evening into the overnight hours. Winds light
west/southwest less than 10 kts which will tend to veer to
south/southwest after 00Z. No precipitation or obscuration is
expected through the forecast period.

Outlook...

Monday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Windy with gusts to
35 kt. Definite SHRA.
Monday Night: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Likely SHRA.
Tuesday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Windy with gusts
