402 AM EDT Fri May 14 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Seasonably warm days with sunshine and scattered afternoon
showers will persist Friday through Monday, with the chance for
a rumble of thunder on Sunday and Monday. Generally quiet and
pleasant weather is expected for the middle of next week as a
ridge of high pressure establishes itself over the region.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 330 AM EDT Friday...A gorgeous spring day is expected as
upper ridge builds eastwards. 925 hPa temperatures will be a
couple degrees celsius warmer, so expect afternoon highs to be
about 3-4 degrees F warmer today. This puts afternoon highs in
the upper 60s to mid 70s. Mostly sunny skies will give way to
fair weather cumulus in the afternoon. A few showers will be
possible in the afternoon. However, abundant dry air remains in
place, which will limit coverage and may prevent much
precipitation from making it to the surface.

Overnight, temperatures will quickly cool with effective
radiational cooling from the light winds, partly cloudy skies,
and dry PBL conditions. Thus, lows are expected to dip into the
upper 30s to lower 40s across the cold hollows, and generally in
the 40s for the rest of the region. Saturday will be a near
carbon copy of Friday, except an upper trough will be
approaching from the west and winds will be more west to
southwesterly than northwesterly. Trends have been for less and
less convection with each cycle, likely due to the abundant dry
air across the region. Thus, an overall pleasant start to the
weekend is expected, but a spot shower will be possible in the
afternoon, especially near high terrain.

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 400 AM EDT Friday...Saturday night will feature quiet
weather once again, and temperatures will drop into the 40s
areawide. Sunday looks to be our best chance for showers as
better chances for convection develops with an upper level
shortwave crossing our area. Forecast soundings show the best
boundary layer instability we`ve seen in days developing in the
afternoon helping to support the development of scattered
showers and some isolated rumbles of thunder. Temps once again
will be in the upper 60s to mid 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 400 AM EDT Friday...Trends for the extended are for a
drier and warmer period to take shape. Looks like we could have
a chance for some afternoon showers on both Monday and Tuesday
afternoons especially in Vermont, but really not a good strong
feature to hang your hat on. Drier weather will then be expected
from Wednesday onward as a large surface and upper level ridge
will dominate the weather pattern. Temperatures will be in the
upper 60s to lower 70s with lows dropping into the 40s each
night.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Through 06Z Saturday...VFR conditions are expected over the
next 24 hours. Variable to terrain driven flow is expected
tonight, then becoming northwesterly at 5 to 10 knots after 14Z.
A few gusts around 15 knots possible from 17Z to 22Z. Isolated
showers will develop around 17Z to 22Z as well with cloud based
around 8000ft agl. Do not anticipate impact to TAF terminals.
Winds subside after 22Z, becoming variable and terrain driven
once more with any showers dissipating quickly after sunset.
