354 FXUS61 KBTV 052356 AFDBTV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Burlington VT Issued by National Weather Service Albany NY 756 PM EDT Thu Jun 5 2025 .SYNOPSIS... Quiet conditions will develop tonight with winds calming. More wet weather is expected beginning Friday afternoon and continuing into Saturday. Generally seasonable weather is expected next week, and an unsettled pattern should lead to more chances for rain. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... As of 736 PM EDT Thursday...No big changes for the near term portion of the forecast. The thunderstorm threat has decreased throughout the area. A few current lingering showers will continue to track across Rutland and Windsor Counties over the next few hours, but for the most part, shower activity has significantly decreased area wide. Where rain fell, some patchy fog is possible, particularly in the Adirondacks and near the Connecticut River Valley. Overnight lows tonight will dip into the low to mid 60s. Previous Discussion...Tonight will be quiet transitioning to additional showers and thunderstorms by Friday early afternoon. The latest consensus has trended wetter and cooler, especially in southern portions of the region, where greatest moisture and instability will be present. North and west of the frontal zone there should be more sunshine into the afternoon hours, so best bet for a fully dry day with seasonably warm conditions will be across the St. Lawrence Valley eastward into northwestern Vermont. Most locations will see highs in the 70s and overnight lows near 60. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... As of 330 PM EDT Thursday...Did not make many changes for the short term portion of the forecast. Additional rainfall, possibly heavy, is expected on Saturday. At this time biggest totals are expected across our southern Vermont zones. In these areas around an inch and a half of rainfall is possible. Temperatures will be cooler and closer to normal on Saturday, max temps in the 70s. WPC has much of our region in the excessive rainfall outlook on both Friday and Saturday. Some thunder is possible but not really expecting severe storms on Saturday. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... As of 400 AM EDT Thursday...The second half of the weekend is looking more favorable as we`ll see some brief ridging settle over the region. A few showers can`t be ruled out, but expect if any develop they`ll be pretty isolated. Otherwise, expect partly sunny skies and highs in the 70s. Thereafter, we`ll see a return to a more active weather pattern as the mid/upper level trough deepens across the Central Plains/Great Lakes regions. The result will be an unsettled weather pattern for our region as a series of shortwaves and frontal boundaries pinwheel push through. As per usual, exact timing of these features is difficult at this time, so stayed close to NBM through this period, which gives showers chances every day through mid week. Temperatures will remain seasonable with daytime highs in the 70s to around 80F and overnight lows in the 50s. && .AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Through 00Z Saturday...VFR conditions will continue at all terminals through majority of the TAF period. Winds over the area will continue to trend toward variable and calm beyond sunset and should remain predominately light and variable through the period. BTV/PBG may hold on to a prevailing wind for a few more hours from channeled flow, but should also reach variable winds overnight. A few scattered showers are possible between 09-12Z at SLK/BTV/RUT/MPV along a slow moving cold front. Expanded shower and possible thunderstorm chances increase at all sites outside of MSS/EFK tomorrow beyond 18Z. While winds will generally be light, they may become briefly gusty under any thunderstorms that develop tomorrow afternoon. Outlook... Friday night: VFR. Chance SHRA, Slight chance TSRA. Saturday: MVFR. Chance SHRA. Saturday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX. Sunday: VFR. NO SIG WX. Sunday Night: VFR. Chance SHRA. Monday: VFR. Chance SHRA, Chance TSRA. && .BTV WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
