.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will bring dry and seasonably cool temperatures to the

thunderstorms.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
As of 244 AM EDT Friday...After all of the rain yesterday, some areas
of fog have developed across the region, although it should
dissipate rather quickly as we head towards daybreak. High pressure
will continue to build into the region, with seasonably cool and dry
conditions expected through the day. Northwesterly winds will
continue to usher in a drier airmass, as well as cooler temperatures
compared to previous days. High temperatures will climb into the
70s, with plenty of sunshine this Independence Day. Another cool
night is expected tonight, with the high pressure overhead allowing
for some radiational cooling. Overnight lows will drop into the 50s,
with portions of the Adirondacks and Northeast Kingdom dropping into
the 40s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 244 AM EDT Friday...Another pleasant day is in store for
Saturday as surface high pressure and upper level ridging crest
overhead. Temperatures will be several degrees warmer than the
previous day, with high temperatures once again in the 80s.
Southerly flow will begin to advect a more humid airmass into the
region, with dewpoints back into the 60s by Saturday night. This
increased moisture along with cloud cover will help keep overnight
low temperatures on the mild side, with temperatures in the mid to
upper 60s.

The warming trend will continue for Sunday, with high temperatures
climbing into the upper 80s and mid 90s across the region with
dewpoints in the 60s. Heat indices across the area are expected to
range in the 90s areawide, feeling quite uncomfortable after a few
days of cooler weather. While the heat is not as strong as earlier
this season, be sure to stay hydrate and use caution with any
outdoor activities.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 244 AM EDT Friday...The warm conditions will continue into the
start of next week, before a cold front drops through the region.
The front will begin to approach the region Sunday night, bringing
some chances for showers near the International Border. The boundary
looks to finally push through Monday afternoon, bringing chances for
showers and thunderstorms. Looking at some of the model soundings,
the environment could be quite favorable for convective development,
especially across portions of southern Vermont where high
temperatures could climb into the upper 80s and low 90s ahead of the
front although there is still plenty of time to see how all of the
ingredients come together. Behind this feature, conditions become
more seasonable although unsettled for mid-week, with highs
generally in the 80s.

.AVIATION /11Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Through 12Z Saturday...At this hour, thick fog remains at KRUT.
Elsewhere, clouds are around mountain summits, but skies are
otherwise clear. Historical observations suggest that in these
set ups, KRUT has never held on to fog beyond 13z. So at least
one more hour of fog is expected. Skies will be mostly clear
with northwest winds increasing to 7 to 12 knots sustained with
gusts 15 to 20 knots possible. After 23z, winds will trend light
and variable. Fog appears likely, but there is a caveat.
Convective debris clouds at or above 20000 ft agl will propagate
south about 03-07z. Depending on how it progresses, this could
prevent significant fog. For now, after 04z, have noted 4SM at
KSLK and KMPV. Otherwise, all other sites will remain VFR.

Outlook...

Saturday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Saturday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Sunday: VFR. Slight chance SHRA.
Sunday Night: VFR. Chance SHRA.
Monday: VFR. Chance SHRA, Chance TSRA.
Monday Night: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Chance SHRA,
Chance TSRA.
Tuesday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance SHRA,
Slight chance TSRA.
