AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
135 AM EDT TUE JUL 1 2025
SYNOPSIS
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS RETURN LATE TONIGHT THROUGH MUCH
OF TOMORROW AS A SERIES OF FRONTS TRAVERSES THE REGION. DRY WEATHER
PREVAILS THROUGH WEDNESDAY BEFORE SHOWER CHANCES INCREASE THURSDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE CLOSE TO AVERAGE THIS WEEK.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
AS OF 709 PM EDT MONDAY...NO DRASTIC CHANGES IN THIS UPDATE. CLOUDS
ARE INCREASING ACROSS THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST. A FEW LIGHT
SHOWERS JUST EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO ARE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE IT INTO
ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY, BUT ARE ENCOUNTERING SOME DRY AIR OUT
AHEAD OF THEM. A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS MAY MAKE THEIR WAY ACROSS
NORTHERN NEW YORK LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING,
BUT LARGELY MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL LATE
THIS EVENING. WINDS ACROSS THE CHAMPLAIN VALLEY MAY BE SLIGHTLY
MORE BREEZY OVERNIGHT WITH A WEAKER INVERSION EXPECTED, WHICH
COULD BRING SOME HIGHER GUSTS 20-25 ACROSS THE LAKE AND NEAR
15-20 IN THE SURROUNDING AREAS. OTHERWISE, MOST SHOULD SEE WINDS
LIGHTEN OVERNIGHT.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...CLOUDS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE THIS
EVENING AND TONIGHT AHEAD OF A PREFRONTAL TROUGH THAT MOVES
THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING. PRECIPITATION SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL
LATE TONIGHT. THIS FEATURE WILL BRING MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS
TOMORROW, BUT THEY SHOULD BE OUT OF THE REGION BY MID
AFTERNOON. THESE SHOWERS WILL CONTAIN A FEW EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS BUT ANY INSTABILITY SHOULD BE ELEVATED. CLEARING
BEHIND THIS TROUGH MAY ALLOW FOR A COUPLE THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM
LATER IN THE AFTERNOON, MOSTLY OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
VERMONT. THERE ARE SEVERAL FACTORS ACTING AGAINST ANY SEVERE
POTENTIAL, BUT WITH HIGH DEW POINTS FROM THE REGION ALREADY
BEING IN THE WARM SECTOR AND PLENTIFUL SHEAR, ISOLATED SEVERE
STORMS ARE STILL POSSIBLE. MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL BE
RELATIVELY SHALLOW AND RESEMBLE A MOIST ADIABATIC PROFILE, THERE
WILL LIKELY BE SOME CLOUDS AND SHOWERS AROUND FROM THE
PREFRONTAL TROUGH TO PREVENT EFFICIENT DESTABILIZATION, THERE
WILL BE NO CIN BEHIND THE PREFRONTAL TROUGH, AND THERE IS NOT
MUCH OF A DEFINED FRONTAL FEATURE/SURFACE CONVERGENCE. DESPITE
ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS BEING VERY FAVORABLE FOR HEAVY RAIN, FAST
STORM MOTION SHOULD PREVENT MUCH OF A FLOOD THREAT. THE COOLER
AND DRIER AIR GRADUALLY FILTERS IN TUESDAY NIGHT.
SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT/
AS OF 251 PM EDT MONDAY...DRY WEATHER PREVAILS THROUGH WEDNESDAY,
WITH NORTHWEST FLOW BRINGING IN COOLER TEMPERATURES AND LOWER
HUMIDITY. BY AFTERNOON, DEW POINTS SHOULD BE DOWN INTO THE 50S FOR
MOST AREAS. A TROUGH WILL BE DIGGING INTO THE REGION AND IT WILL
DROP TEMPERATURES ALOFT, BUT LAPSE RATES WILL LIKELY STAY LOW ENOUGH
WHERE SHOWER CHANCES WILL BE INHIBITED.
LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
AS OF 251 PM EDT MONDAY...TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO DROP
INTO THURSDAY AND THIS WILL CAUSE SOME INSTABILITY TO DEVELOP AS
DIURNAL HEATING WARMS SURFACE TEMPERATURES. A SHORTWAVE WILL ALSO
PROVIDE SYNOPTIC FORCING AND IT WILL INCREASE THE SHOWER COVERAGE.
THERE MAY BE ENOUGH FORCING TO CREATE A MORE LINEAR FEATURE IN THE
AFTERNOON. SOME EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY BUT THE COLD CORE
SETUP IS NOT FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE WEATHER. THE SHOWERS SHOULD
DIMINISH THURSDAY EVENING AS THE SHORTWAVE PASSES TO THE EAST AND
THE DIURNAL HEATING ENDS. GUIDANCE IS NOW LEANING TOWARD HAVING A
POCKET OF ANOMALOUSLY COLD AIR ALOFT STAY TO THE NORTH THURSDAY
NIGHT AND FRIDAY. THIS SHOULD KEEP MANY OF THE SHOWERS TO THE NORTH
DURING THIS PERIOD, BUT THERE WILL STILL BE A FEW SHOWER CHANCES,
PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST KINGDOM. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
BEGINS TO BUILD IN ON FRIDAY AND IT WILL BRING AN END TO THE RAIN.
DRY WEATHER SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH SATURDAY BEFORE SHOWER CHANCES
INCREASE FOR SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES DURING THE PERIOD LOOK TO BE CLOSE
TO SEASONABLE WITH RELATIVELY LOW DEW POINTS.
AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY...VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO PREVAIL
ACROSS ALL TERMINALS, WITH SOME SHOWERS LIFTING INTO THE REGION
OVERNIGHT. VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS, WITH MORE WIDESPREAD MVFR CEILINGS EXPECTED TOWARDS 12Z
THIS MORNING. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE TAF PERIOD, SOME OF
WHICH MAY BRIEFLY REDUCE VISIBILITIES. SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL
BEGIN TO TAPER OFF AFTER 21Z, WITH VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR
THE REST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. WINDS GENERALLY REMAIN SOUTH TO
SOUTHWESTERLY THIS MORNING, AROUND 10 KNOTS WITH SOME HIGHER
GUSTS POSSIBLE.
