AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1025 PM EDT THU APR 26 2007

.NEAR TERM /OVERNIGHT/...
ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO FORECAST...MAINLY TO FRESHEN UP SKY AND POP
GRIDS WITH ASSOCIATED REFINEMENT OF TIMING OF STEADIER RAIN ONSET.
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS SLUG OF MOISTURE WORKING ITS WAY NE ALONG
THE SE USA COASTAL PLAIN. THIS IS REFLECTED WELL IN HIGH PW AXIS ON
MODELS. THE 06Z OPERATIONAL NAM AND GFS RUNS PLACE NOSE OF LOW LEVEL
JET ACROSS WARM FRONT NEAR S COAST...AND THINK POTENTIAL FOR SOME
1.0 TO 1.5 INCH AMOUNTS BETWEEN 10Z AND 18Z ACROSS PARTS OF RI AND
SE MA.

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
CURRENTLY...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WAS CENTERED OVER THE EASTERN
COASTAL WATERS LATE THIS AFTERNOON. VERY DRY AIRMASS REMAINS
IN PLACE WITH DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS NEAR 30F. LOW PRESSURE WAS
LOCATED ACROSS EASTERN ILLINOIS.

.TONIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE WILL TRACK OFFSHORE. LOW PRESSURE WILL
TRACK NORTHEAST INTO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES TONIGHT. A WARM
FRONT WILL DEVELOP SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND AS THE LOW TRACKS NORTHEAST
LATE TONIGHT. A FAIRLY IMPRESSIVE MOISTURE PLUME SEEN ON THE WATER
VAPOR LOOP FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL ADVANCE INTO SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND LATE. SCATTERED SHOWERS SEEN ON THE LATEST RADAR MOSAIC
ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION WILL EVAPORATE HEADING INTO SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND THIS EVENING. ONSHORE FLOW WILL INCREASE LATE TONIGHT
ALLOWING THE VERTICAL COLUMN TO GRADUALLY MOISTEN. IN ADDITION
INCREASING MOISTURE CONVERGENCE DUE TO A DEVELOPING SW 40KT LOW
LEVEL JET ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC STATES AND MID LEVEL FRONTOGENETIC
FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEVELOPING WARM FRONT WILL BRING AN
INCREASING THREAT FOR OVERRUNNING RAIN LATE. CONTINUED WITH
CATEGORICAL POPS ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND LIKELY POPS FURTHER EAST
ALONG THE COAST PRIOR TO 12Z. ALTHOUGH THE AIRMASS IS VERY
DRY...TEMPERATURES WILL DROP SHARPLY BUT ONLY DURING THIS EVENING
GIVEN THE INCREASING AND THICKENING CLOUD COVER.

.FRIDAY...RAIN WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION DURING THE MORNING...HEAVY
AT TIMES AS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES INCREASE UP TO 1.6 G/KG. THE
MOISTURE COLUMN WILL BECOME SATURATED WITH THE BEST OMEGA OCCURRING
JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE ADVANCING WARM FRONT. BEST LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE IS EXPECTED ALONG THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR AND
POINTS NORTHWEST. INSTABILITY PARAMETERS ARE SOMEWHAT FAVORABLE FOR
THUNDER AS WELL. SHOWALTER INDICES DROP TO AROUND ZERO...K INDICES
RISE INTO THE LOWER 30S AND TOTAL TOTALS INTO THE UPPER 40S. THUS
KEPT A CHANCE OF THUNDER.

.FRIDAY NIGHT...RAIN TAPERS OFF TO SHOWERS AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS
NORTH AND LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. CYCLONIC FLOW WILL
REMAIN AT 500MB WITH THE 700 MILLIBAR TROUGH REMAINING TO THE WEST.
AREAS OF FOG WILL FORM GIVEN LEFTOVER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...LIGHT
WINDS AND LACK OF DOWNWARD VERTICAL MOTION.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL BE WEST OF SNE ON SAT WITH SW FLOW ALOFT WHICH
WILL KEEP LOTS OF MOISTURE ACROSS REGION...ESPECIALLY INTERIOR.  AT
THE SURFACE A WAVE OF LOW PRES WILL MOVE SWD INTO REGION DURING SAT
ACTING TO INCREASE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE.  BEST CONVERGENCE AND
DEEPEST MOISTURE WILL BE IN THE INTERIOR AND WE INCREASED POPS TO
LIKELY NW OF LWM-FIT-BAF...WITH CHC POPS ELSEWHERE DECREASING TOWARD
THE COAST.  TT INCREASE TO 50-51 SAT AFTN SO CANT RULE OUT ISOLD
THUNDER SO WE INCLUDED SLGT CHC TSTM IN THE GRIDS FOR THE
INTERIOR.

EXPECT LOW CLOUDS AND FOG ALONG THE COAST SAT MORNING...OTRW CROSS
SECTIONS INDICATE SOME SUN MAY DEVELOP IN THE COASTAL PLAIN.  850
TEMPS ARE NEAR +6 SO 70 DEGREES IS PSBL WHERE THERE IS ENOUGH
SUN...MOST LIKELY ACRS RI AND INTERIOR SE MA...BUT BUT WE ARE NOT
CONFIDENT ON AMOUNT OF SUN SO WE KEPT TEMPS IN THE MID/UPPER 60S
SOUTHERN INTERIOR...WITH LOWER 60S NW ZONES WHERE MORE
CLOUDS/SHOWERS EXPECTED...AND 50S OUTER CAPE/ISLANDS.

UPPER LEVEL TROF MOVES EWD ACRS SNE SAT NIGHT.  AXIS OF DEEPER
MOISTURE PERSISTS SO EXPECT MORE SHOWERS FROM TIME TO TIME.  FOCUS
FOR SHOWERS SHOULD GRADUALLY SHIFT TO THE COAST DURING THE NIGHT AS
SFC WAVE AND ASSOCD AREA OF CONVERGENCE GRADUALLY MOVES EWD OFF THE
COAST BY 12Z SUN.

TROF AXIS AND DEEPER MOISTURE MOVES EWD DURING SUN SO EXPECT GRADUAL
IMPROVING CONDITIONS FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE DAY.  BEST CHC
SHOWERS WILL BE ACRS EASTERN ZONES DURING THE MORNING...AND THERE
MAY BE SOME SUN DEVELOPING ACROSS WESTERN ZONES IN THE AFTERNOON.
WE WILL HAVE MORE NORTHERLY FLOW ON SUN AND 850 TEMPS A LITTLE
COOLER SO EXPECT MAXES 60-65...WITH 50S CAPE/ISLANDS.

GFS/ECMWF AND GGEM IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT ON TIMING AND AMPLITUDE
OF WEATHER SYSTEMS TO AFFECT THE REGION IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD FROM
MON-THU.

STRONG SHORTWAVE DIVING SE FROM NORTH OF GREAT LAKES SUN NIGHT WILL
RESULT IN AMPLIFYING UPPER TROF NE OF SNE ON MON.  GFS MORE
AMPLIFIED THAN ECMWF BUT BOTH SHOW CDFROPA DURING MON.  MOISTURE IS
LIMITED SO WE ONLY HAVE LOW CHC SHOWERS FOR N ZONES ON MON.  850
TEMPS NEAR +6 WITH W/NW FLOW WHICH SHOULD TRANSLATE TO NEAR 70
DEGREES CR/RI/E MA WITH MID 60S NW HIGHER TERRAIN WHERE 850 TEMPS
ARE COOLER.

NEXT SHORTWAVE IN NW FLOW APPROACHES ON TUE.  ASSOCD SFC WAVE WILL
MOVE EWD FROM GREAT LAKES LIKELY BRINGING A PERIOD OF OVERRUNNING
RAINS TO SNE ON TUE.  LAST FEW RUNS OF THE GFS SUGGESTING THERE WILL
BE A NARROW AXIS OF HEAVIER RAFL BUT THERE IS UNCERTAINY ABOUT WHERE
THIS BAND WILL SET UP SO WE WILL JUST HAVE CHC RAIN FOR TUE.  WE
FOLLOWED GFS MOS TEMPS FOR TUE...IN THE 50S TO LOWER 60S WHICH MAY
END UP TOO WARM IF GFS IS CORRECT...ESPECIALLY FROM S NH TO E MA.

CHC SHOWERS WILL PERSIST TUE NIGHT AS CDFNT MOVES SWD ACROSS
REGION...THEN CLEARING SKIES EXPCTED FOR WED AND SUNSHINE CONTINUING
THU WITH DRY NORTHERLY FLOW AS SFC HIGH BUILDS N OF GREAT LAKES.

ENSEMBLE MEAN 850 TEMPS ON WED RANGE FROM 3-5 SO MAXES WED SHOULD
REACH THE 60S...BUT COOLER AIR WILL FILTER INTO REGION THU AS UPPER
TROF AMPLIFIES TO THE NE.  850 TEMPS COOL TO NEAR ZERO WITH EXPECTED
MAXES THU IN THE 50S TO LOWER 60S.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z-18Z/...
VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 06Z TONIGHT W AND THROUGH 08Z OR 09Z E.
CEILINGS AND VSBYS WILL DROP TO IFR OVER MOST TERMINALS IN
DEVELOPING RAIN AND FOG EXCEPT POSSIBLY MHT HYA AND ACK BY
12Z...THEN AREAS LIFR CEILINGS BEYOND 12Z. CONDITIONS MAY LOWER
QUICKLY AS WARM FRONT BEGINS TO SET UP ALONG S COAST AND WIND
BECOMES MORE E OR SE N OF THE FRONT WITH ONSHORE COMPONENT. IN
ADDITION LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR IS EXPECTED BY 12Z FRIDAY DUE TO A LOW
LEVEL INVERSION NEAR THE SURFACE AND ADVANCING LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY
JET. PLEASE SEE TAFS FOR DETAILS.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY HAS BEEN POSTED FOR THE
SOUTHEASTERN WATERS FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING.
HAZARDOUS SEAS WILL DEVELOP WITH AN INCREASING SOUTHERLY SWELL
BRINGING WAVE HEIGHTS UP TO 4 TO 7 FEET OVER THE OUTER WATERS.
BELIEVE THE WNA WAVE GUIDANCE IS A TAD HIGH. SCATTERED GUSTS TO 25
KT WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE...BUT A DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL INVERSION WILL
KEEP STRONGER SPEEDS FROM TRANSFERRING TO THE SURFACE. THIS SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED ACROSS THE EASTERN WATERS AND
SOUTHERN SOUNDS AND BAYS FOR THE SAME TIMEFRAME.

LONG TERM...SW FLOW UNDER 20 KTS SAT/SAT NIGHT BECOMING NORTHERLY ON
SUN.  WE UNDERCUT WNAWAVE GUIDANCE FOR SAT/SAT NIGHT AS IT LOOKED
OVERDONE IN MODEST SW FLOW.  WE MAY HAVE A BRIEF PERIOD OF SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY W/NW WINDS LATER MON/MON EVENING BEHIND CDFNT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
QPF AMOUNTS SHOULD RANGE FROM 0.50 TO 1.00 WITH LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS POSSIBLE IN THUNDERSTORMS. HEADWATER GUIDANCE INDICATES
MANY OF THE SMALLER STREAMS AND RIVERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCOMODATE
THESE TOTALS. HOWEVER THE CURRENT FORECAST INDICATES THESE AMOUNTS
MAY BE ENOUGH TO CAUSE POINTS ALONG THE CONNECTICUT RIVER TO RISE
BACK TO FLOOD BY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. LOCALIZED URBAN FLOODING IS
POSSIBLE FRIDAY. PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST FLSBOX.
