Mesoscale Discussion 0089
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0700 PM CST Wed Jan 24 2024

   Areas affected...Northern Vermont...Northern New
   Hampshire...portions of Western and Central Maine

   Concerning...Freezing rain 

   Valid 250100Z - 250500Z

   SUMMARY...Freezing rain accumulations around 0.01-0.03 per per hour
   likely through the evening.

   DISCUSSION...Freezing rain accumulations of 0.01-0.03" have been
   reported across upstate New York over the last hour, with freezing
   rain being reported at several stations across portions of Vermont
   and New Hampshire. This threat will likely shift eastward into
   western Maine over the next few hours. The observed 00z sounding
   from GYX shows the profile is largely below zero from the surface to
   just above 850 mb. Strong warm air advection is ongoing in low to
   mid-level west to southwesterly flow from 850-500 mb. This is
   further supported in RAP forecast soundings indicating warming above
   the surface should support the downstream threat of freezing rain as
   the heavier precipitation arrives northeastward. Areas across the
   higher terrain of the White Mountains will likely see snow, with the
   best potential for freezing rain accumulations located across the
   lower valleys.
