722 FXUS61 KBTV 060241 AFDBTV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Burlington VT Issued by National Weather Service Albany NY 1041 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 SATURDAY/... As of 1035 PM EDT Thursday...Showers have moved out of the region with some lingering mid to high clouds across the region. No major changes to this forecast update. Some haze has briefly reduced some visibilities across the St. Lawrence Valley as the boundary layer diurnally sinks towards the surface, but this should be short lived with nocturnal boundary layer mixing. 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 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 WEDNESDAY/... 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 /03Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... 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...
