AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
429 PM EDT FRI AUG 3 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT EXITING THE GREAT LAKES WILL SWEEP ACROSS NEW ENGLAND
TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...WITH SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND AHEAD
OF IT. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BRINGS DRY AND LESS HUMID WEATHER ACROSS
THE REGION SUNDAY. THE HIGH WILL PUSH OFFSHORE SUNDAY NIGHT ALLOWING
A WARM FRONT TO CROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT.
WARMER AND MORE HUMID AIR WILL THEN MOVE BACK ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND TUE. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION LATE TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY...TRIGGERING THUNDERSTORMS. THE FRONT WILL MOVE OFFSHORE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED BY DRIER AND COOLER AIR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
***A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY EARLY THIS EVENING NORTHWEST OF
I-95 WITH THE BEST CHANCE ACROSS WESTERN MA AND SOUTHWEST NH***

LATEST ANALYSIS SHOWS FAIRLY HIGH INSTABILITY ACROSS THE REGION WITH
MEAN LAYER CAPES BETWEEN 1000 AND 2500 J/KG.  SURFACE TEMPERATURES
HAVE WARMED INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S ACROSS THE REGION WITH SURFACE
DEWPOINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S.  500 MB TEMPERATURES ARE BETWEEN
-10C AND -11C CURRENTLY...WHICH IS QUITE COLD CONSIDERING HOW HOT
OUR TEMPERATURES ARE AT THE SURFACE.  THIS IS YIELDING STEEP MID
LEVEL LAPS RATES ON THE ORDER OF 7.0C/KM.

HIGH INSTABILITY AND STEEP LAPSE RATES HAVE ALLOWED THE CAP TO BREAK
AND ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WERE DEVELOPING ACROSS
SOUTHERN NH AND EASTERN NEW YORK STATE.  MID LEVEL WIND FIELDS ARE
FAIRLY WEAK WHICH SHOULD LIMIT THE THUNDERSTORMS FROM ORGANIZING
INTO A SQUALL LINE.  NONETHELESS...WITH THE HIGH CAPES WE PROBABLY
WILL SEE A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO THE NORTHWEST OF I-95 THIS
EVENING WITH THE BEST CHANCE ACROSS WESTERN MA AND SOUTHERN NH.  THE
MAIN THREATS WILL BE STRONG DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WIND GUSTS AND
LARGE HAIL BECAUSE OF THE STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES.

LATER THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WE MAINTAIN FAIRLY
STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES OF AROUND 7C/KM WITH 500 MB TEMPERATURES
AROUND -11C.  THIS RESULTS IN AROUND 1000 J/KG OF SURFACE BASED CAPE
ALL NIGHT LONG AND SHOWALTER INDICES -2 AND -3.
THEREFORE...ALTHOUGH WE DONT HAVE A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET WEAK
BOUNDARY IN THE VICINITY SHOULD ALLOW FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH THE NIGHT.  WE PROBABLY WILL SEE THE AXIS OF THE BEST CHANCE
FOR CONVECTION SHIFT TO THE COASTAL PLAIN BY AROUND 12Z.  WILL RUN
WITH CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION OVERNIGHT.  ANY
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
WITH HIGH PWATS ALL NIGHT.

LOW TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN QUITE MILD WITH READINGS IN THE UPPER
60S TO LOWER 70S.  IN FACT...DOWNTOWN BOSTON MAY NOT FALL BELOW 73
OR 74 DEGREES ALL NIGHT.  WE WILL LIKELY SEE PATCHY FOG LATE AND IT
PROBABLY WILL BE DENSE AGAIN ON NANTUCKET.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...A MOSTLY
SUNNY AND BEAUTIFUL DAY IS ON TAP TO THE NORTHWEST OF I-95.
SOUTHEAST OF I-95...ANY ELEVATED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL PROBABLY
DIMINISH BY MID MORNING.  HOWEVER...THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE
HUNG UP ACROSS RHODE ISLAND AND SOUTHEAST MA.  THEREFORE...WE
PROBABLY WILL SEE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS RE-DEVELOP
ACROSS RHODE ISLAND AND SOUTHEAST MA IN THE AFTERNOON.  WIND FIELDS
ARE A BIT STRONGER THAN TODAY AND LAPSE RATES WILL BE FAIRLY STEEP
BETWEEN 6.5 AND 7.0C/KM.  THEREFORE...A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THIS REGION.  THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE DAMAGING
STRAIGHT LINE WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL.

HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90 NORTH
OF MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE...WITH READINGS IN THE LOWER 90S SOUTH OF
THE MA PIKE AND AWAY FROM THE SOUTH COAST.

IN ADDITION...WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS WE EXPECT A MODERATE RISK FOR RIP
CURRENTS ALONG THE SOUTH FACING BEACHES OF THE SOUTH COAST ON FRIDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SATURDAY NIGHT...
COLD FRONT WILL BE DRAPED ACROSS THE SOUTH COAST SATURDAY
EVENING...ALONG WITH THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
SOUTHEAST MA AND SOUTHERN RI. ONE OR TWO STORMS MAY BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS BEFORE THE FRONT MOVES OFFSHORE. BY
LATE EVENING...FRONT SHOULD BE PUSHING OFFSHORE WITH DRY AND MUCH
LESS HUMID WEATHER OVERSPREADING THE ENTIRE REGION. LOOKS LIKE ONE
OF THE FEW COMFORTABLE NIGHTS WITH DEW PTS IN THE 50S AND MINS BY
SATURDAY MORNING IN THE 50S AND 60S.

SUNDAY...
LOOKS LIKE A GEM OF A DAY AS DEEP LAYER RIDGE MOVES OVER NEW ENGLAND
PROVIDING ABUNDANT SUNSHINE...DEW PTS IN THE 50S AND AFTERNOON TEMPS
IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S. IN FACT...SURFACE DEW PTS MAY DIP INTO
THE UPPER 40S INLAND...AS MODEL SOUNDINGS FROM BOTH THE GFS AND NAM
INDICATE GOOD MIXING TO 4-5 KFT YIELDING DRY AIR MIXING FROM TOP
DOWN...RATHER THAN HORIZONTAL ADVECTION.

SUN NIGHT AND MONDAY...
NEXT SHORT WAVE TROF AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW EXIT THE GREAT LAKES
AND INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THE NAM APPEARED TO BE AN OUTLIER
HERE WITH ITS OVER AMPLIFIED AND FASTER SOLUTION WHEN COMPARED TO
THE GFS AND UKMET. THEREFORE...THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST WAS
BASED ON 12Z GFS AND UKMET.

A WARM FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION MON...WHICH WILL RESULT IN
THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS REGION WIDE...WITH THE HIGHEST CHANCE ACROSS
NORTHERN MA INTO NH. THE WARM FRONT EXITS THE AREA SOMETIME MON
NIGHT OR EARLY TUE...SO THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE
INTO MON NIGHT.

IT WILL BE COOLER MON GIVEN ONSHORE FLOW...OVERCAST SKIES AND
POSSIBLE SHOWERS. HOWEVER...DEW PTS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE GIVEN
THE ONSHORE FLOW.

TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
OVERALL THEME HERE IS FOR VERY WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS TUE AND WED
WITH A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE /BACKDOOR/ SOMETIME WED-WED
NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY COOLER TEMPS AND LESS HUMID WEATHER THU AND
POSSIBLY INTO FRI. THE TRICKY PART OF THE FORECAST WILL BE THE
LOCATION OF THE COLD FRONT TUE AND WED AND RELATED POP FORECAST. 12Z
GFS APPEARS TO HAVE TOO MANY WAVES ALONG THIS FRONT WHICH MAY BE A
CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK PROBLEM. THE 12Z ECMWF HAS LESS IF ANY
CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK ISSUES...SO THE HIGHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
TSTMS APPEARS TO BE WED /PER THE 12Z ECMWF/ WITH LESS OF A THREAT
TUE.

BACKDOOR FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA SOMETIME WED NIGHT WITH COOLER
AND MUCH LESS HUMID WEATHER THU AND FRI. TEMPS MAY REMAIN IN THE 70S
REGION WIDE THU /EXCEPT AROUND 80 CT RIVER VALLEY/...THEN PROBABLY
WARMING INTO THE LOW 80S INLAND FRI...AS HIGH PRES MOVES OFFSHORE.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE EVENING...BUT ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS THE INTERIOR MAY BRIEFLY RESULT IN
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS.  OTHERWISE...A FEW HOURS OF MVFR CONDITIONS MAY
DEVELOP LATE IN PATCHY FOG.  IN ADDITION...IFR CONDITIONS WILL
LIKELY DEVELOP ACROSS NANTUCKET THIS EVENING AND POSSIBLY MAKE THEIR
WAY ONTO HYANNIS.

ON SATURDAY...VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD DEVELOP BY EARLY TO MID
MORNING.  HOWEVER...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS RHODE
ISLAND AND SOUTHEAST MA MAY RESULT IN BRIEF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS.

IN THE LONGER TERM...
MVFR CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS AND TSTMS MAY LINGER SAT EVENING OVER SE
MASS AND SRN RI AS COLD FRONT DEPARTS. THEN VFR CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT
SAT NIGHT INTO SUN AND POSSIBLY SUN NIGHT.  MVFR CEILINGS MON AND
MON NIGHT AS WARM FRONT AND SHOWERS MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. LOW PROB
OF IFR CONDITIONS IF DENSE FOG FORMS MON-MON NIGHT AHEAD OF WARM
FRONT.

CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE TUE AS WARM FRONT EXITS THE AREA.
HOWEVER...MVFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE TUE AFTERNOON AND NIGHT IN TSTMS
AS NEXT COLD FRONT APPROACHES. COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA
SOMETIME WED WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS...PROBABLY IN THE MVFR
CATEGORY.
&&

.MARINE...
MARGINAL SCA CONDITIONS THIS EVENING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS WITH
GUSTS BETWEEN 20 AND 25 KNOTS.  WE HAVE HOISTED A SMALL CRAFT FOR
OUR FAR SOUTHERN WATERS WHERE MARGINAL 5 FOOT SEAS ARE POSSIBLE
THROUGH THE NIGHT.

ON SATURDAY...ANOTHER ROUND OF NEAR SHORE 20 KNOT WIND GUSTS AND 2
TO 4 FOOT SEAS.  MARGINAL 5 FOOT SEAS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN WATERS SO LATER SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO CONSIDER SCA BUT ITS
TOO MARGINAL TO HOIST AT THIS TIME.

IN THE LONGER TERM...EXPECT CONDITIONS TO REMAIN BELOW SCA SUNDAY
AND MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. FOG PATCHES MAY LOCALLY REDUCE VISIBILITIES
UNDER 1 MILE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT ESPECIALLY ALONG THE
SOUTH COAST.

BOUNDARY LAYER WIND SPEEDS INCREASE NEAR 30 KT FROM THE SOUTH MONDAY
EVENING...BUT A LOW LEVEL INVERSION WILL INHIBIT MOMENTUM TRANSFER
EXCEPT POSSIBLY ALONG IMMEDIATE SOUTH COASTAL LOCATIONS.
