AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
730 PM EDT FRI JUL 21 2006

.MESOSCALE UPDATE 6...
THREAT FOR ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS NEXT 3 HOURS.

MAIN LINE OF STORMS NOW RUNS FROM BOSTON AND N SHORE BACK INTO S
WORCESTER COUNTY AND ALONG MA/CT BORDER TO LITCHFIELD HILLS. A
COUPLE OF STORMS ON LINE HAVE FLARED UP AND REACHED SEVERE
LEVELS...ONE NEAR MONSON MA WHICH PRODUCED WIND DAMAGE AND ANOTHER
NEAR UPTON MA WHICH RADAR SHOWS HAS POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE WIND DAMAGE
WITH 44KT WIND AT 1000 FT. YET ANOTHER STORM IN NORFOLK COUNTY NEAR
NORWOOD AND DEDHAM IS TRYING TO PULSE UP...AS IS ONE NEAR MEDFORD.

WE CONTINUE TO EXPECT A SLOW TRANSITION FROM ISOLATED SEVERE TO
LOCALIZED FLASH FLOOD THREAT...THOUGH THERE SHOULD BE A DECREASE IN
REFLECTIVITY AS WE FIGHT LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. NONETHELESS...
ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND LEFTOVER INSTABILITY WILL KEEP
STORMS GOING A FEW MORE HOURS...EVEN IF THEY LOSE SEVERE POTENTIAL.

MAIN AREA OF CONCERN NEXT 3 HOURS IS N CT...NORTHERN RI AND MUCH OF
EASTERN/SE MA AS FAR S AS TAUNTON/PLYMOUTH AREAS.

JWD

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGH CAPES OF BETWEEN 1500 AND 3000 J/KG WILL CONTINUE TO PROMOTE
THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS
EVENING... DESPITE WEAK WIND FIELDS AND POOR MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES.
WITH DEWPOINTS OVER 70 DEGREES...THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOPS WILL
BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING TORRENTIAL RAINFALL AND ISOLATED POOR
DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING.  OTHERWISE...EXPECT THE ACTIVITY TO
DIMINISH IN AREAL COVERAGE AND INTENSITY A FEW HOURS AFTER SUNSET.
MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS MAY SEE CONDITIONS TEMPORARILY DRY OUT
WITH AREAS OF PATCHY FOG DEVELOPING...PARTICULARLY ON THE CAPE AND
ISLANDS.

OTHERWISE...MODELS SHOW UPPER LEVEL AND ASSOCIATED LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM LIFTING TO THE WEST OF OUR REGION ON SATURDAY.  THIS SHOULD
PROMOTE WIDESPREAD RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS WHICH WILL OVERSPREAD THE
REGION FROM SOUTH TO NORTH ON SATURDAY.  SINCE THE ATMOSPHERE WILL
BE JUICED LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS EXPECTED WITH THE ACTIVITY.  AS
FOR SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...NOT TOO EXCITED ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW SINCE
WE WILL BE RELATIVELY WARM ALOFT AND AN ABUNDANCE OF CLOUD COVER
SHOULD KEEP INSTABILITY SOMEWHAT IN CHECK.  NONETHELESS...SOMETHING
LATER SHIFTS WILL STILL HAVE TO CONSIDER.

AS FOR THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY...SWELL FROM THE BERYL WAS DIMINISHING
SO WILL LET THE ADVISORY EXPIRE ON TIME AT 6 PM.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FAIRLY AMPLIFIED UPPER TROF FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR ACRS GT LAKES WITH
RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF JET WILL WILL RESULT IN SFC LOW MOVING NE
ACRS NYS AND CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NEW ENG SAT NGT.  GFS HAS DEEPEST
AND FASTEST SOLUTION BUT MAY BE HAVING FEEDBACK ISSUES SO A SLIGHTLY
WEAKER AND SLOWER SOLUTION IS PREFERRED...CLOSER TO GFS/WRF BLEND
AND GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN.  HEAVY RAINFALL LIKELY ALONG AND LEFT OF THE
TRACK OF THE LOW WHICH WOULD BE MAINLY N AND W OF SNE.
HOWEVER...VERY TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT WILL ADVECT INTO SNE IN WARM
SECTOR WITH PWATS NEAR 2.25 AND LLJ ACRS REGION SO THERE IS
POTENTIAL FOR VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS.  AS A RESULT...WE CONTINUED
LIKELY POPS FOR SAT NIGHT WITH CATEGORICAL NW ZONES CLOSEST TO LOW
TRACK.  WIDESPREAD RAINFALL IS NOT EXPECTED AS BEST LARGE SCALE
FORCING SHOULD BE TO THE N AND W...BUT ISOLD HEAVY AMOUNTS ARE
POSSIBLE IN VERY TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT WITH DECENT LOW LEVEL JET.

SFC LOW MOVES NE OF REGION ON SUN WITH TRAILING CDFNT MOVING INTO
FA.  MODELS DIFFER ON TIMING OF CDFNT WHICH COULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT ON SEVERE WX POTENTIAL.  WRF IS SLOWEST WITH FROPA AND WOULD
BE FAVORABLE FOR SVR WX AS STG MID LEVEL WINDS MOVE INTO REGION.
GFS IS FASTEST WITH FROPA WITH VERY LOW PROBABILITY OF SVR AS
DEWPOINTS FALL LIMITING INSTABILITY.  WE THINK GFS MAY BE A BIT TOO
FAST AS UPPER TROF STILL TO THE WEST...AND UKMET/CMC GLOBAL AND
MAJORITY OF GFS ENSEMBLES SUPPORT A SLOWER SOLUTION.  SO WE WILL
CONTINUE WITH CHC SHOWERS/TSTMS SUN WITH GREATEST CHC E ZONES.
TIMING OF FNT WILL BE CRITICAL TO SEVERE POTENTIAL.  DUE TO
UNCERTAINTY...CONFIDENCE IS LOW BUT BEST CHC WOULD LIKELY BE ACRS E
ZONES.  WE DO EXPECT SOME SUNSHINE SUN AS DRY SLOT MOVES INTO REGION
WHICH SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS TO REACH LOW/MID 80S AWAY FROM S COAST.

FNT MOVES OFFSHORE SUN EVENING WITH CHC OF LINGERING RW/TRW
ESPECIALLY E ZONES...THEN DRYING OVERNIGHT AS WEAK RIDGE BUILDS INTO
REGION.

MON AND TUE LOOK DRY AS SUBTROPICAL RIDGE BUILDS OVER WRN ATLC WHICH
SHOULD KEEP CONVECTION N AND W OF FA.  TEMPS AWAY FROM THE S COAST
WILL WARM INTO MID 80S MON...PSBLY APPROACHING 90 IN THE INTERIOR
TUE AS 850 TEMPS WARM TO +17...ALTHOUGH ECMWF KEEPS IT A LITTLE
COOLER.  850 DEWPOINTS REMAIN LOW MON/TUE SO MIXING SHOULD KEEP
HUMIDITY LEVELS MANAGEABLE.

CONTINUED VERY WARM AND HUMID WED WITH CHC RW/TRW.  THERE IS SOME
UNCERTAINTY IN THE THU-FRI PERIOD REGARDING PSBL CDFNT DROPPING SWD
ACRS NEW ENGLAND.  00Z ECMWF BROUGHT FNT SWD INTO REGION LATE
THU/EARLY FRI BUT 12Z ECMWF NOW KEEPS IT TO THE N WITH VERY
WARM/HUMID AIRMASS IN PLACE.  GFS HINTS AT WEAKENING FNT INVOF SNE
THU/FRI.  WE WILL CARRY CHC POPS FOR THU/FRI BUT CONTINUED
WARM/HUMID.

&&

.AVIATION...
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS THIS EVENING EXCEPT LOCALLY IFR TO EVEN LIFR
IN ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS.  OTHERWISE...PATCHY FOG AND
AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS WILL DEVELOP TONIGHT AND THEY WILL BE MOST
PREVELANT ON THE SOUTH COAST CAPE AND ISLANDS.

&&

.MARINE...
IN THE SHORT TERM...SOUTHWEST WINDS STRENTHEN ON SATURDAY BUT
PROBABLY NOT AS MUCH AS THE GFS SUGGESTS WITH THE INVERSION OVER THE
WATERS.  NONETHELESS...EXPECTING SCA CONDITIONS OVER THE WATERS WITH
20 TO 25 KNOTS OF WIND AND SEAS BUILDING OVER THE SOUTHERN WATERS TO
7 OR 8 FEET BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON.  THIS IS IS SEVERAL FEET UNDER
WHAT THE WNA MODEL HAS FORECAST.

LONG TERM...SW LLJ EXCEEDS 40 KTS SAT NIGHT INTO SUN SO WINDS SHOULD
BE FAIRLY STRONG.  WHILE WE WONT FULLY MIX THIS DOWN SOME GUSTS TO
30 KTS LIKELY SAT NIGHT INTO SUN AND SCA WILL EVENTUALLY BE NEEDED.
SEAS WILL BE INCREASING OVER SOUTH COASTAL WATERS BUT NOT TO THE
EXTENT THAT WNAWAVE GUIDANCE INDICATES WITH UP TO 14 FT SEAS NOTED
OVER SOUTHERN WATERS.  WE CUT THIS BACK AND CAPPED SEAS AT 9 FT OVER
OUTER WATERS AND 7 FT OVER THE SOUNDS.

WINDS WILL DIMINISH SUN NIGHT WITH LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED THRU REST OF
THE PERIOD.  HIGHER SEAS WILL LINGER INTO MON.
