901 FXUS61 KBTV 060601 AFDBTV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Burlington VT Issued by National Weather Service Albany NY 201 AM EDT Fri Jun 6 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 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 /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Through 06Z Saturday...VFR conditions will continue at all terminals through much of the TAF period. Calm or light north, or northeast at MSS, will be present. A shower will move over RUT roughly between 0630 and 0730Z with some MVFR visibility reductions possible, but otherwise the next 6 hours look uneventful. Beyond that, light showers could affect sites from about 16Z through 00Z, primarily in the central part of the airspace, while northwestern areas stay dry. Meanwhile, greater chances for thunderstorms exists at RUT, primarily after 18Z and peaking between 20 and 22Z before chances decrease. Any direct hits would result in IFR visibilities, gusty winds, and possible small hail. Ceilings after 00Z, especially after 03Z, will trend MVFR especially where rain is more likely to occur today, at MPV and RUT, and possibly EFK. 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... VT...None.
