...MINOR COASTAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE DURING THE VERY EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING AND WEDNESDAY MORNING HIGH TIDE CYCLES ACROSS
NORTH AND EAST FACING BEACHES...

NORTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 30 TO 40 MPH OVER THE WATERS
SOUTH AND EAST OF CAPE COD SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. THESE STRONG
WINDS WILL RESULT IN SEAS BUILDING TO 10 TO 15 FEET OVER THE OPEN
WATERS BY LATE MONDAY INTO EARLY TUESDAY. A FEW WAVES OF 15 TO
20 FEET ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. THE WAVE ACTION COMBINED WITH A 1 TO
1.5 FOOT STORM SURGE MAY PRODUCE MINOR SPLASH DURING THE MONDAY
AFTERNOON HIGH TIDE...MAINLY ACROSS THE CAPE AND NANTUCKET.

THE EARLY TUESDAY MORNING HIGH TIDE CYCLE POSES A GREATER THREAT
FOR MINOR COASTAL FLOODING AS THIS IS A HIGHER ASTRONOMICAL TIDE.
PERSISTENT HIGH SEAS OF 10 TO 15 FEET AND A STORM SURGE UP TO
1.5 FEET MAY BRING AT LEAST MINOR COASTAL FLOODING TO NORTH AND
EAST FACING SHORELINES AROUND THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING. AT THIS TIME...LATEST FORECASTS SUGGEST THE MOST
VULNERABLE AREAS WILL BE ACROSS THE SHORELINES SOUTH OF BOSTON...
INCLUDING CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET.

THE EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING HIGH TIDE WILL CONTINUE TO OFFER A
RISK OF MINOR COASTAL FLOODING. THE ASTRONOMICAL TIDE WILL BE ONE-
HALF FOOT LOWER THAN THE TUESDAY MORNING HIGH TIDE. BUT SEAS WILL
PERSIST AT 10 TO 15 FEET AND WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE THOSE
SEAS TOWARD SHORE. AS WITH TUESDAY MORNING...THE MOST VULNERABLE
AREAS WILL BE ACROSS THE SHORELINES SOUTH OF BOSTON...INCLUDING
CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET.

CRITICAL HIGH TIDES AT NANTUCKET WILL OCCUR AT 416 PM MONDAY
AFTERNOON...411 AM TUESDAY MORNING...508 PM TUESDAY AFTERNOON...
AND 503 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING. HIGH TIDES AT BOSTON OCCUR AT
254 PM MONDAY AFTERNOON...300 AM TUESDAY MORNING...345 PM TUESDAY

...SPLASHOVER AND PERHAPS A BIT OF VERY MINOR COASTAL FLOODING IS 
POSSIBLE AT THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE VERY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING...

SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO BUILD TO BETWEEN 10 AND 15 FEET ACROSS THE OPEN
WATERS TODAY ON GALE FORCE NORTHEAST WIND GUSTS. ASTRONOMICAL HIGH
TIDE OCCURS IN BOSTON AT AROUND 3 AM TUESDAY MORNING AND ON NANTUCKET
AROUND 411 AM.

ALTHOUGH NORTHEAST WINDS WILL DIMINISH SOME TONIGHT...SEAS WILL
REMAIN HIGH. WE MAY SEE AROUND A FOOT OF STORM SURGE THAT MAY RESULT
IN SOME SPLASH OVER OR PERHAPS SOME VERY MINOR COASTAL
FLOODING. THE BEST CHANCE OF ANY OF THIS WILL BE SOUTH OF BOSTON ON
THE OUTER-CAPE AND NANTUCKET. AT THIS TIME...THIS DOES NOT LOOK TO
HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON COASTAL COMMUNITIES.

HOWEVER...STAY TUNED TO THE LATEST NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECASTS
JUST IN CASE.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
936 PM EDT SAT APR 29 2006

.SHORT TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/...
NO MAJOR CHANGES MADE TO THE FORECAST THIS EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE
CENTERED OVER QUEBEC WILL KEEP SKIES CLEAR OVERNIGHT. WINDS HAVE
ALREADY DIMINISHED ACROSS INTERIOR LOCATIONS...PROVIDING A GOOD NIGHT
FOR RADIATIONAL COOLING. TEMPERATURES SHOULD DROP INTO THE 20S AND
30S ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 440 PM EDT SAT APR 29 2006/

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
SEASONABLY COOL WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THIS PERIOD WITH SLIGHTLY
BELOW NORMAL TEMPS ACROSS EASTERN MA...GIVEN THE COOL NE FLOW OFF
THE CHILLY WTRS OF MASS BAY AND THE ADJACENT WTRS. LONG WAVE TROF
AXIS REMAINS JUST E OF NEW ENGLAND...ACROSS GLF OF ME AND GEORGES
BANK THROUGH SUN. THIS WILL PROMOTE DRY WEATHER THROUGH AT LEAST THE
DAYLIGHT HOURS OF SUNDAY.

THEREAFTER (LATER SUN NIGHT)...THE FORECAST BECOMES COMPLEX AS
NORTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE ENERGY MOVING ACRS QUEBEC AND NORTHERN
NEW ENGLAND DIVES SE INTO WRN ATLC LONG WAVE TROF. MDLS IN FAIRLY GD
AGREEMENT ON NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY EVOLVING INTO A CLOSED MID LVL
LOW VCNTY OF SRN NEW ENGLAND BY 12Z MON.

12Z GFS IS A BIT WEAKER AND FARTHER N WITH EVOLVING MID LVL LOW LATE
SUN NGT INTO MON. PREFER THIS SOLUTION AS ALL MDLS INDICATE THE BULK
OF THE JET ENERGY WILL SCOOT ACRS THE MARITIMES...WITH ONLY A
PORTION OF THE JET IMPULSE DIVING SE. THIS SHOULD YIELD LESS HEIGHT
FALLS ACRS THE NE (HENCE - WKR MID LVL CIRCULATION) ALNG WITH
EVOLVING CLOSED LOW NOT TO DIG AS FAR S AS THE NAM AND NGM
ADVERTISE.

ALL MDLS LIMIT RN CHANCES TO CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET THROUGH DAYBREAK
MON. THIS SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN THE HIGH AMPLITUDE PTN.
THEREFORE...WL NOT DEVIATE MUCH FM MDL GUID REGARDING ONSET OF RAIN.
OTHER ISSUE WL BE INCREASING WINDS ACRS SE MA AND BID SUN NGT. BOTH
NAM AND GFS INDICATING G40 KT POSSIBLE LATE SUN NGT OVER CAPE
COD/NANTUCKET/MVY AND BID. GIVEN THE ONSET OF STRONG WNDS REMAINS
36-42 HRS AWAY COMBINED WITH UNCERTAINTY ON THE STRENGTH OF THE
CLOSED MID LVL LOW AND ATTENDING INVERTED SFC TROF...WL HOLD OFF ON
ISSUING A WIND ADVISORY FOR NOW AND CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT IN
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK (BOSHWOBOX).

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW WIDE SPREAD...MAINLY DURING THE
LATTER PORTION OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD.  WITH THE LONG TERM BLOCKING
PATTERN IN PLACE...WILL BE DIFFICULT THE BREAKDOWN OF THIS FEATURE.
THIS LENDS TO A LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST.  SEEMS THE ONLY MODELS THAT
ARE SHOWING ANY CONTINUITY ARE THE 06Z/12Z GFS AND THE 12Z
UKMET...WHICH ARE SOMEWHAT SIMILAR THROUGH TUESDAY.  THESE ARE
TENDING TO BE THE SLOWEST IN BREAKING DOWN THE BLOCK...WHICH SEEMS
TO BE PRUDENT.  EVEN AFTER THAT...THOUGH... DIFFERENCES COME INTO
PLAY.

LEANED THE EARLY PORTION OF THE LONG TERM...THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT...TOWARD THE GFS SINCE IT HAS BEEN SHOWING SOME CONSISTENCY.
THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE THAT IS IMMEDIATELY APPARENT IS THE HANDLING
OF THE LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPMENT OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD.  LEANED
TOWARD A WEAKER SOLUTION OF THE LOW OFF THE COAST...WHICH SHOULD
PLACE IT FURTHER NORTH AS SUGGESTED BY THE GFS.  THE LARGE HIGH OVER
SOUTHERN QUEBEC AND THE MARITIMES WILL BE IN PLACE...SO AS THIS LOW
MOVES NORTH OR EVEN A BIT NORTHWEST...EXPECT PRESSURE GRADIENT TO
CONTINUE TO INCREASE.  WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
TUESDAY FOR CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS.

AS THE LOW SHIFTS NORTH...AN INVERTED TROUGH TYPE FEATURE TRIES TO
TAKE SHAPE...AS SEEN ON THE QPF FIELDS.  WITH THE CYCLONIC LOW LEVEL
FLOW IN PLACE...WILL STREAM THE PRECIP INTO THE REGION FROM THE
OCEAN.  EXPECT A CHANCE OF RAIN TO MOVE INTO THE CAPE AND ISLANDS BY
MONDAY...THEN INTO COASTAL AREAS LATE MONDAY OR MONDAY NIGHT.  WITH
STRONG ONSHORE FLOW IN PLACE...DO EXPECT PRECIP TO MAKE IT ALL THE
WAY ACROSS THE CWA.  THE ONLY QUESTION AT THIS POINT WILL BE HOW
FAST IT WILL WORK WESTWARD.  USED THE GFS AS A GUIDE...BUT DID PUSH
THE PRECIP TIMING IN FASTER THAN THE GFS SUGGESTED WITH THE MOIST
LOW LEVEL FLOW IN PLACE...THOUGH NOT NEARLY AS FAST AS THE NAM
SUGGESTED.  WILL BRING CHANCE PRECIP INTO WESTERN AREAS AFTER
MIDNIGHT MONDAY NIGHT.

WILL KEEP BEST CHANCE OF PRECIP FOR LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND
TUESDAY...WITH CATEGORICAL POPS FOR TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...BUT
WILL KEEP ONLY CHANCE GOING FOR THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES.

ANOTHER QUESTION WILL BE HOW RAIN WILL FALL.  MODELS DO SUGGEST SOME
RAINFALL.  HAVE PLAYED BACK THE GFS AMOUNTS...BUT DID NOTE THAT IT
WAS TRYING TO BRING IN A BULLSEYE DURING TUESDAY. APPEARS THAT THE
HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION WILL TEND TO SET UP OVER NORTHERN NEW
ENGLAND...FROM EASTERN NEW HAMPSHIRE INTO MAINE...AT THIS POINT.

THE STEADIEST RAINFALL SHOULD BEGIN TO TAPER OFF WEDNESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE LOW BREAKS DOWN OFF THE SOUTH COAST AND THE
CANADIAN HIGH SHIFTS EAST.  A WEAK RIDGE TRIES TO BUILD IN FOR
THURSDAY...BUT ANOTHER LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN
CANADA AND THE GREAT LAKES THEN.  THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT IS
FORECAST TO ARRIVE FOR LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...BUT TIMING
IS UNCERTAIN.  WILL CARRY CHANCE POPS ON FRIDAY.   GFS IS SUGGESTING
THAT THE FRONT MAY BEGIN TO STALL OVER EASTERN AREAS...WITH A WEAK
LOW FORMING ON IT...WHICH WILL DELAY THE EXIT OF THE PRECIP INTO
NEXT SATURDAY.

AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS THRU SUN. NE WNDS GUSTING TO 25 KT ACRS RI AND SE MA.

MARINE...
MODEST NE WND OF 15-20 KT WITH GUSTS TO 25 KT WL CONTINUE ACRS ALL
WTRS LATE TDA THROUGH SUN NGT...EXCEPT LIGHTER WNDS N OF
PROVINCETOWN TO THE MERRIMACK RVR.  LOW END (35-40KT) E-NE GALES ARE
POSSIBLE BY DAYBREAK MON FROM BID-ACK-PVC. EVEN THE WEAKER GFS
SUGGEST A PERIOD OF LOW END GALES POSSIBLE. HAVE SMALL CRAFT UP FOR
MOST OF THE WATERS THROUGH EARLY MONDAY FOR NOW.

AS FOR OUR MARINE WEATHER AND COASTAL FLOOD STATEMENTS...WE WILL
HOLD OFF ON UPDATING THESE PRODUCTS UNTIL COMPLETELY REVIEWING 12Z
ECMWF AND 12Z GFS ENS. EXPECT UPDATED STATEMENTS OUT BY 530 PM.

IN THE LONG TERM...EXPECT LOW END GALES TO CONTINUE MAINLY ON THE
OUTER WATERS THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...THEN WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH.  WNA
WAVEWATCH III GIVING SEAS UP TO 15 FEET SOUTH AND EAST OF NANTUCKET
WITH STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS AND FETCH OVER THE WATERS.  AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES AND THE LOW WEAKENS...EXPECT WINDS TO
DIMINISH DURING TUESDAY.  EXPECT SEAS TO FINALLY SUBSIDE TO BELOW 5
FEET BY LATE WEDNESDAY.

FIRE WEATHER...
NEAR RED FLAG CONDITIONS AWAY FROM THE COASTLINE THIS AFTN...WITH
MOST LOCATIONS FALLING SHORT ON WND SPDS (25 MPH OR GREATER).
SIMILAR SITUATION SUN...WITH DRY FUELS/LOW RH AND WNDS GUSTING TO
AROUND 20 MPH. GIVEN WND CRITERIA WL FALL SHORT...WL HOLD OFF ON A
RED FLAG AND CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE AS AN ELEVATED FIRE DANGER.
