777 FXUS61 KBTV 101857 AFDBTV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Burlington VT 257 PM EDT Sun Aug 10 2025 .SYNOPSIS... Unseasonably hot temperatures are expected to continue for the North Country through Tuesday as high pressure builds over the region. Highs in the 90s are expected for broader valleys with some locations warming into the mid 90s by Tuesday. Conditions will remain mainly dry through Tuesday before a front brings more widespread thunderstorm chances, some possible severe, by mid week and a relative cool down for the end of the week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... As of 249 PM EDT Sunday...Unseasonably warm to hot conditions will persist Monday afternoon with highs ranging from the mid 80s to low/mid 90s. Low RH will keep the worst at bay allowing temperatures to cool into the 60s during the overnight hours while the tamping the heat index down a degree or so from the high temperature. However, caution is advised for those without adequate cooling for Monday as high temperatures reach 90-95 degrees with three days above 90 for some locations. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... * A Heat Advisory is in effect for Tuesday and Tuesday night in the St Lawrence Valley and portions of the northern Champlain Valley and northern Vermont. As of 249 PM EDT Sunday...Heat will peak Tuesday with little relief overnight into Wednesday. Highs in the mid 90s and overnight lows around 70 degrees are anticipated for the St Lawrence Valley and northern Champlain Valley. This will be the most hazardous period after multiple 90+ degree days since heat impacts are cumulative. Those with plans outdoors or without access to air conditioning will be most susceptible to heat illness and should have a plan to mitigate these conditions. Elsewhere, temperatures will range in the upper 80s to low 90s remaining uncomfortably warm. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... As of 244 PM EDT Sunday...A weak cold front will attempt to dislodge the persistent ridge that is responsible for our heat mid week. With dry air ahead, moisture will be limited, though with modest forcing along the boundary it may eke out a few showers and a thunderstorm or two across northern New York. The better forcing and chances for any stronger storms will be closer to the international border and north of our region, closer to the actual low in Quebec. With the meager front propagation, some locations may see a fifth straight day of 90s, especially across the valleys and southern Vermont. The front will break down late Wednesday afternoon across the region, though it will help shunt the center of the ridge axis to the south of our region, allowing for some cooler air to filter in from the north by the end of the week. Highs Thursday and Friday will only be in the upper 70s to low 80s with overnight lows in the 50s, providing some brief relief from the heat earlier in the week. Ridging looks to build back in for the weekend with highs returning back into the upper 80s with a slower moving potential front by the weekends end. && .AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Through 18Z Monday...High pressure overhead will keep VFR conditions through at least 05Z at all terminals. Winds will generally remain variable through the daylight with the exception of MSS/PBG where valley channeling and lake breeze influences, respectively could lead to light southerly winds near 10 knots. Winds will become calm overnight across all sites. Based on persistence from last night, and being detached from recent rainfall, probabilities of fog are low. Only MVFR to 5SM with mist is forecasted at SLK/EFK/MPV. MPV will likely have fog around the terminal, but it may not drift to the terminal, which was the case last night. There may be brief periods of IFR visibilities, though they will be short-lived with visibilities primarily in the MVFR category at SLK/MPV. Furthermore, light winds just off the surface may add another limitation overnight. Calm winds and clear skies look to continue for tomorrow. Outlook... Monday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX. Tuesday: VFR. NO SIG WX. Tuesday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX. Wednesday: VFR. Chance SHRA, Chance TSRA. Wednesday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHRA, Slight chance TSRA. Thursday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Slight chance SHRA. Thursday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX. Friday: VFR. Slight chance SHRA. && .CLIMATE... Record daily high temperatures are likely on Monday, August 11, and Tuesday, August 12.
