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 SUNDAY/
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 /17Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
THROUGH 18Z MONDAY...PRIMARY FOCUS FOR NEXT 6 TO 12 HOURS WILL
BE CLOUDS, FOLLOWED BY DEVELOPING GUSTY WINDS AND VARYING LEVELS
OF WIND SHEAR AND TURBULENCE. CLOUDS AT 4000-6000 FEET AGL WILL
LINGER INTO THE EVENING HOURS, BEFORE SOME LIFTING INTO A HIGHER
DECK IS ANTICIPATED. LOW LEVEL SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST JET OF 20 TO
30 KNOTS DEVELOPS AFTER 06Z AND RESTRENGTHENS TO NEAR 40 KNOTS
AT 2000 FEET TOWARD 18Z ON MONDAY. THIS INCREASING WIND FIELD
WITH LIGHT AND VARIABLE AT THE SURFACE WILL CREATE AREAS OF WIND
SHEAR AND TURBULENCE AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. AS BETTER MIXING
DEVELOPS ON MONDAY MORNING LOCALIZED GUSTS 15 TO 25 KNOTS ARE
EXPECTED WITH SOME HIGHER GUSTS LIKELY AT MSS AND SLK. VFR
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS AT ALL TAF
SITES.
