...HIGH WIND WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH LATE FRIDAY NIGHT...

STRONG TO POTENTIALLY DAMAGING WEST WINDS MAY DEVELOP JUST BEHIND A
STRONG COLD FRONT LATE FRIDAY AND LAST THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING. THE
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE QUICKLY THROUGH THE CONNECTICUT VALLEY BY MID
AFTERNOON FRIDAY...REACHING THE CAPE AND ISLANDS BY EARLY EVENING.

AFTER THE FRONT PASSES WEST WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 25 TO 35 MPH
WITH GUSTS TO 50 MPH POSSIBLE. THE STRONG WINDS MAY LAST THROUGH
MIDNIGHT. SINCE MOST TREES ARE STILL FULLY LEAVED...THESE WIND
GUSTS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE DAMAGING.

A HIGH WIND WATCH MEANS THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR STRONG DAMAGING
WINDS TO DEVELOP IN THE MENTIONED AREAS. THESE STRONG WINDS ARE
CAPABLE OF DOWNING TREES AND POWER LINES AS WELL AS CAUSING
PROPERTY DAMAGE. IF A HIGH WIND WARNING IS ISSUED...STAY INSIDE
AND AWAY FROM WINDOWS.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1126 AM EDT THU OCT 19 2006

.SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY/...
JUST A QUICK UPDATE FOR TEMPS. CURRENTLY RUNNING AROUND 3 DEGREES
BELOW FORECAST AND WITH ANTICIPATED CLOUD COVER DECIDED TO DROP
AFTERNOON MAX BY 2 TO 3 DEGREES. ALSO DID SOME MINOR UPDATING OF THE
SKY GRIDS TO REFLECT SATELLITE TRENDS BUT THIS HAD NO REAL IMPACT ON
THE WORDED FORECAST.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 626 AM EDT THU OCT 19 2006/

..SHOWERY FRIDAY ON TAP WITH LOW PROB OF WIND ADVY/GALE POTENTIAL
ON BLUSTERY WLY FLOW LATE IN THE DAY...

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
FCST PROBLEM IS THE INTENSITY/TRACK OF THE SFC LOW MOVING THROUGH
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND FRIDAY.  00Z/19 OP RUNS OF THE ECMWF/UKMET/RGEM
WERE ALL NOTABLY WEAKER THAN THE NCEP MODELS FOR FRIDAY.  THE 00Z
GFS OP RUN WAS VERY CLOSE TO THE UK/EC TRACK.  THE 00Z AND 06Z NAM
ARE BELIEVED TO BE FAR TOO INTENSE AND CONSEQUENTLY OUTLIERS TOO FAR
NW. THE 00Z/19 GFS ENS MSP PRES ARE SPLIT INTO TWO CAMPS. SO WHILE

CONFIDENCE IN THE OVERALL FCST OFFERED FROM THIS MORNING THROUGH
FRIDAY AFTERNOON IS ABOVE AVERAGE...THERE IS STILL A CHANCE FOR THE
DEEPER AND INLAND VSNS OF THE NAM AND GFS TO VERIFY. ATTM...THE 500
MB PATTERN TO ME DID NOT APPEAR STRONG ENOUGH...NOR NEG ENOUGH TO
PROMOTE THE LEFTWARD OVER DEEPENED TRACK.  TIME WILL TELL ON THIS
DECISION THO WE KNOW THAT NCEP VIA THEIR 0509Z PMDHMD FAVORED THE GFS
/AND ITS TRACK/.

06Z GFS CONTS THE 00Z VSN OF TRACK AND INTENSITY. 06Z NAM IS STILL
200 NM LEFT OF THE GFS AT 00Z SAT.

POPS WERE TAPERED SLIGHTLY FM THE PREV FCST FOR THIS AFTN/EVE...THEN
BACK ON THE PRIOR TRACK FOR A STRONG FRIDAY MORNING ONSET WITH A
RAPID DEPARTURE FRI MID OR LATE AFTN.

THUNDER CONTS IN THE FCST...BASICALLY DUE TO THE VT MAX TRACK...BUT
TT ARE NOT ALL THAT HIGH AND IF THE UK/EC VERIFY...DEEPENING WILL BE
LESS WITH LESS INFLOW AND LESS ASSTD DESTABIZATION.  SO THUNDER IS IN
THE FCST BUT NOT A HIGH PROBABILITY EVENT...YET.

HYDRO...BLV WE ARE LOOKING AT QPF TOTALS RANGING FM LESS THAN 1/4
INCH ON ACK TO AS MUCH AS 1.25 INCHES IN FRANKLIN AND CHESHIRE
COUNTIES OF THE EXTREME NW PTN OF OUR FA.

TEMPS/DEWPOINTS/WINDS/MXG HTS AND WIND GUSTS...PRIMARILY DRIVEN BY
THE 00Z GFS...ITS MAVMOS AND BLENDED WITH PRIOR FCST.

GUSTS LATE FRI AFTN MAY REACH WIND ADVY CRITERIA IF THE 00Z GFS/NAM
VERIFY...FIRST IN THE HIGH TERRAIN W OF THE CT RVR ARD 21Z...THEN
REEMERGING ALONG THE E MA COAST ARD 23Z...HOWEVER...IF THE WEAKER
VSNS OF THE 00Z/19 UK/EC VERIFY...THEN I THINK WE WONT HAVE TO WORRY
MUCH ABOUT WIND GUSTS AOA 35 KT.  SO THAT WILL BE DEBATED FOR ANOTHER
FEW CYCLES BUT ATTM...PREFER A MORE CONSERVATIVE APPROACH DUE TO THE
PREDICTED APPEARANCE OF THE 500 PATTERN INCLUDING ONLY A MODEST 120M
12 HR HFC. CAA IS DECENT. HRLY PRES FALLS AND RISES WILL BE ON THE
ORDER OF 1 TO 2MB/HR AND WINDS ALOFT IN THE LOWEST 150 MB WILL
QUALIFY FOR WIND ADVY...SO ITS MATTER OF WHICH MODEL GROUP YOU BLV.

SKYCVR IS A BLEND OF TIME SECTION ASSESSMENT OF THE 00Z NAM/GFS.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MODELS COMING INTO DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGH MONDAY...BUT CONFIDENCE
IS NOT THAT HIGH AFTER THEN. BOTH THE 18/18Z GFS ENSEMBLE AND 18/12Z
CMC ENSEMBLE RUNS DEPICT SIGNIFICANT VARIABILITY IN THE 500 MB
HEIGHTS AFTER TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. PROBLEMS LIKELY
STEMMING FROM TIMING AND AMPLITUDE PROBLEMS WITH VARIOUS SHORTWAVES
ROTATING AROUND A CUTOFF LOW NEAR HUDSON BAY.

USED THE CONSENSUS OF THE VARIOUS 19/00Z MODELS AS BASIS FOR THIS
FORECAST...OF WHICH THE NAM IS A BIT OF AN OUTLIER. NAM DEVELOPS A
MUCH STRONGER LOW PRESSURE IN THE GULF OF MAINE FRIDAY NIGHT THAN
MOST OF THE OTHER MODELS. THE GFS IS IN BETWEEN THE NAM AND THE ECMWF
AND UKMET. DO NOT WANT TO DISCOUNT THE STRENGTH OF THE EUROPEAN
MODELS...BUT THINKING WINDS WILL BE SIGNIFICANT WITH STRONG COLD AIR
ADVECTION AND A LOW LEVEL JET OF 55-60 KTS AT 850 MB. INCREASED WINDS
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY FROM WHAT WE HAD BEFORE...BUT NOT QUITE TO
WIND ADVISORY LEVELS.  WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS OVER THE NEXT 24 HRS.

HIGH PRESSURE FOR SATURDAY...BEFORE ANOTHER QUICK MOVING LOW PRESSURE
ARRIVES SUNDAY. A SMALL POSSIBILITY OF SOME SNOW OR FREEZING RAIN
EARLY SUNDAY ACROSS SOUTHWEST NH IF THE PRECIPITATION STARTS SOON
ENOUGH. WOULD PREFER TO LIMIT LIKELY POPS TO JUST SUNDAY NIGHT OR
MONDAY...BUT CONFIDENCE IN THE TIMING IS JUST NOT THERE RIGHT NOW. SO
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO

LATEST MOS TEMPERATURES LOOK REASONABLE...AND HAVE MADE SOME TWEAKS
HERE AND THERE TO PREVIOUS FORECAST TEMPERATURES.

AVIATION...
00Z NAM/GFS TSEC GOVERNED THE FCST CLOUD CVR WHICH ATTM FAVOR 2500-
3500 FT BKN DECK...POSSIBLY THINNING THIS EVENING THEN A STRATUS
DECK AOB 1000 FT DEVELOPING DURING THE NIGHT.

WX RELATED DELAYS POSSIBLE 06Z FRI-00Z SAT LOWERING STRATUS DURING
THE PREDAWN HRS FRI AND THEN IN BANDS OF SHOWERS/ISO THUNDER DURING
THE DAYLIGHT HRS FRI.

MARINE...
SHORT TERM THROUGH FRIDAY...NO HEADLINES BEFORE FRI MIDDAY WHEN SCA
CONDS MAY DEVELOP PTNS OF THE OUTER WATERS.  BETTER CHC OF SCA
CONDS 21Z-23Z FRI EVEN POSSIBLY GALE IF THE DEEPER NCEP MODELS
VERIFY.  21Z SREF HAD ONLY A 10 PCT PROB OF SUSTAINED GALE JUST E OF
OUR WATERS NR 06Z SAT.

IN THE LONGER TERM FROM FRIDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...LOOKING AT A
LIKELY GALE FRIDAY NIGHT AS A LOW PRESSURE MOVES NORTH THROUGH THE
GULF OF MAINE. HIGH PRESSURE ARRIVING SATURDAY SHOULD CAUSE WINDS
AND SEAS TO SUBSIDE QUITE A BIT...WITH CALMEST CONDITIONS EARLY
SUNDAY. A LOW PRESSURE ARRIVING SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY SHOULD
INCREASE WINDS AND SEAS SLIGHTLY...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE SOUTH
COASTAL WATERS.
