DISCUSSION
AS OF 241 PM EDT SUNDAY...
KEY MESSAGE 1: A SOUTHERN STREAM LOW WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH OFF TO THE
NORTHEAST AND EASTERN VERMONT WILL BECOME COMPLETELY DRY BY MID-
AFTERNOON. AS THE CENTER PASSES TO THE EAST, IT WILL HELP DECREASE
THE SOUTHERLY WINDS AND WARM AIR ADVECTION. A PREFRONTAL TROUGH WILL
MOVE INTO NORTHERN NEW YORK FROM ONTARIO THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING,
CAUSING A BROKEN LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS TO DEVELOP. THESE WILL
BE SLOW MOVING AND SHOULD MOSTLY BE CONFINED TO NORTHERN NEW YORK
UNTIL 7-8 PM. THESE WILL WEAKEN AS THEY PUSH EAST. ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHOWERS WILL MOVE THROUGH OVERNIGHT FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST
ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT, THOUGH LOW INSTABILITY SHOULD KEEP
THEM WEAK. A BRIEF STRONG TO SEVERE STORM IS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON
IN THE ST. LAWRENCE VALLEY WHERE INSTABILITY IS THE HIGHEST. DEW
POINTS HAVE REACHED AROUND 70 THERE AND SOME BREAKS OF SUN HAVE
CAUSED TEMPERATURES TO RISE INTO THE UPPER 70S. THE CLOUDY MARINE
MODIFIED AIRMASS FARTHER SOUTHEAST WILL CAUSE STORMS TO QUICKLY
WEAKEN AS THEY TRY TO PUSH EAST.
KEY MESSAGE 2: RELATIVELY ZONAL FLOW WILL DEVELOP HEADING INTO MID-
WEEK, THOUGH THE NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY SHOULD MOSTLY STAY TO THE
NORTH AND THE SOUTHERN STREAM ENERGY SHOULD MOSTLY STAY TO THE
SOUTH. THE ONE EXCEPTION IS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING
WHERE A FEW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE IN NORTHERN AREAS AS A DYING COLD
FRONT MOVES INTO THE REGION. OTHERWISE, SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL
GENERALLY REMAIN IN CONTROL. EFFICIENT RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL
CAUSE TEMPERATURES TO DROP INTO THE 30S AND 40S ON MONDAY NIGHT,
WITH PATCHY FROST EXPECTED IN THE COLDEST HOLLOWS OF THE ADIRONDACKS
AND NORTHEAST KINGDOM. OVERALL, DURING THIS STRETCH, HIGHS WILL
GENERALLY BE IN THE 60S AND 70S WITH LOW HUMIDITY.
KEY MESSAGE 3: UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL REMAIN HIGH ZONAL AND UNBLOCKED
NEXT WEEK SUPPORTING A SERIES OF FAST-MOVING WAVES MOVING THROUGH
EVERY 2-3 DAYS. THE RESULT WILL BE FOR CONTINUED PERIODS OF SHOWERS
WITH HIGHS AROUND TO SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONAL AVERAGES AND OVERNIGHT
LOWS REMAINING SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGES. MODEL CONSENSUS FAVORS
TROUGH PASSAGE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY, BRIEF HIGH PRESSURE SATURDAY,
AND ANOTHER WAVE POTENTIALLY LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY THE
FOLLOWING WEEK. WITH WAVE AMPLITUDE REMAINING SHALLOW, SIGNIFICANT
IMPACTS ARE UNLIKELY, BUT SOME MODERATE TO LOCALIZED HEAVIER
PRECIPITATION WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE THURSDAY WAVE SINCE PWATS
CLIMB ABOVE 1.25". A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER COULD OCCUR ALONG THE
FRONT, ESPECIALLY TOWARDS SOUTHERN VERMONT. HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE
FAVORED TO REMAIN IN THE UPPER 60S TO MID 70S WITH LOWS GENERALLY IN
THE MID 40S TO MID 50S.
