TYLER… Active and very changeable weather conditions expected across the North Country today into tonight. A series of cold fronts will produce scattered rain changing to snow showers with embedded snow squalls this afternoon and evening. Behind these boundaries gusty northwest winds develop with sharply falling temperatures. These localized gusty winds may cause a few power outages, while wind chill values drop to near 20 degrees below zero by Tuesday morning. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/… As of 941 AM EST Monday… Confidence is increasing on snow showers and squalls for the northern portions of the forecast area, including the Champlain Valley, late this morning into the afternoon hours. In between the occluded front that has moved into southeastern Vermont and the arctic front still several hundred miles to the west, a convective boundary can be seen on satellite imagery just west of Ottawa moving southeastward. The latest convective allowing models show some intensification of the line as it moves through the northern Champlain Valley between 2 and 4 PM. As it nears the Saint Lawrence Valley by 11 AM, we should get a better sense of how intense the snow showers will be. A limiting factor is poor surface heating with the area socked in clouds ahead of the boundary. However, other ingredients look favorable for gusty winds and briefly heavy snow during the midday hours. Therefore, we are preparing for snow squall warnings as needed across the North Country. As of 615 AM EST…First boundary is moving acrs the SLV and into the dacks with a broken line of mainly rain showers. Expect this to enter the cpv shortly and exit VT by 16z. Analysis shows dry slot with some breaks possible midday, before arctic boundary arrives btwn 18z-00z with more snow showers and potential embedded snow squalls. Still some uncertainty on evolution of snow squalls, given limited llvl convergence, but instability and dynamics look pretty favorable on the latest 06z data. So have continued with chc/likely pops for snow showers, with embedded stronger convective elements capable of producing isolated snow squalls.
