AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
205 PM EDT SAT SEP 8 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
SUB TROPICAL STORM GABRIELLE...PLEASE FOLLOW TPC TRACKS AND DISCUSSIONS
REGARDING THE 4 DAY PROJECTED INTENSITY...RECURVATURE TRACK AND SWATH OF
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS. FIRST ADVISORY WAS AT 11 PM THIS PAST FRIDAY
EVENING.

SOME OF OUR PRODUCTS NORMALLY ISSUED AROUND 4PM AND 4AM MAY BE DELAYED
ABOUT AN HOUR BEYOND NORMALLY DELIVERED TIMES THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS DUE
TO INTERNAL COLLABORATION WITH TROPICAL PREDICTION CENTER WIND GRIDS.

HIGH PRESSURE OFFSHORE WILL PROVIDE NEAR RECORD HEAT TODAY. A COLD
FRONT WILL CROSS A PORTION OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT STALLING
SUNDAY OR POSSIBLY MOVING NORTH LATE SUNDAY AS A WARM FRONT. THERE
MAY BE A LARGE CONTRAST IN TEMPERATURES ACROSS A PORTION OF OUR AREA.

MONDAY INTO TUESDAY WILL INCORPORATE THE TRACK OF GABRIELLE ALONG
WITH A STRONGER COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD PREVAIL
OVER THE NORTHEAST WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. A NEW COLD FRONT WILL
APPROACH FROM THE WEST LATE FRI.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS INCREASING IN AREAL COVERAGE FROM SE NYS TO S NH.
17Z MESOANALYSIS SHOWING MLCAPES OF 2000-2500 J/KG ACROSS INTERIOR
SNE WITH MAX INSTABILITY IN LOWER HUDSON VALLEY TO NW CT. TSTMS OVER
LOWER HUDSON VALLEY IS THE AREA TO WATCH AS IT MOVES INTO VERY
FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT.

***RECORD HEAT LIKELY AT BOS AND POSSIBLY BDL***

STRATUS HAS BURNED OFF AND SUNNY SKIES WILL PREVAIL INTO THE
AFTERNOON BEFORE CLOUDS INCREASE ACROSS NW ZONES AS 850-700 MB
MOISTURE AXIS MOVES SOUTHWARD INTO REGION.

TEMPS RISING RAPIDLY AND ALREADY UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S AT 10 AM. 12Z
NAM 2M TEMPS STILL SHOWING 93-94 BOS-ASH AND 91-92 BDL-CEF SO WE
SHOULD EASILY SEE MID 90S BOS-MHT AND LOW TO MID 90S BDL-CEF.

96/67 YIELDS HI OF 101 BUT DURING MAX MIXING WE MAY SEE DEWS DROP A
LITTLE SO WE HELD OFF ON HEAT ADVISORY AS NOT CONFIDENT DEWPOINTS
WILL STAY IN UPPER 60S. BUT HI SHOULD BE NEAR 100 FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS
THIS AFTERNOON BOS-MHT.

IT WILL BREEZY ALONG THE SOUTH COAST AND CAPE COD AREA SHOULD SEE
GUST 24-28KTS THIS AFTN.

OTHER CONCERN IS POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER AS COLD FRONT FROPS
SOUTH THROUGH NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. WITH HOT TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS
WELL INTO 60S WE EXPECT SBCAPES TO INCREASE TO 2000+ J/KG WITH SREFS
SHOWING HIGHEST PROB OF THIS OCCURRING ACROSS NW HALF OF FA. WIND
FIELD IS NOT THAT STRONG AND 0-6KM SHEAR ONLY AROUND 20 KTS SO
WIDESPREAD ORGANIZED SEVERE EVENT NOT LIKELY...BUT HIGH CAPES AND
INVERTED V PROFILE SUPPORT PULSE SEVERE AND POSSIBLE WET
MICROBURST/DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WITH SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS.

BEST CHANCE OF SEVERE WILL BE NORTH OF BOS-BDL IN AXIS OF HIGHEST
KI/TT AND WHERE SREFS SHOW BEST INSTABILITY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
***TEMPS 20-25 DEGS COOLER IN NE MASS ON SUNDAY AFTN COMPARED TO
 THIS AFTN***

COLD FRONT SAGS SOUTH INTO SNE SAT NIGHT BUT MAY END UP STALLING
NEAR MASS PIKE OVERNIGHT AS BEST PRESSURE RISES LIFT NE INTO THE
MARITIMES. WE DO EXPECT SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS TO LINGER INTO THE EVENING
N ZONES AS CDFNT MOVES INTO REGION.

THEN AS W FRONT LIFTS N LATER SUN...HEAVY SHOWERS POSSIBLE S NH WITH
TSTMS POSSIBLE ANYWHERE N CT W MASS SW NH.

DIFFICULT TEMP FCST SUNDAY DUE TO STRATUS COOL ELY FLOW SEPARATED
FROM RESIDUAL BL WARMTH S OF THE BOUNDARY. TEMP FCST CONFIDENCE W
MASS AND N CT IS LOWER THAN NORMAL SUNDAY.

DENSE FOG COULD BECOME A PBLM IN ERN MASS IN LIGHT COOL SATURATED
ELY FLOW.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE PREVAILS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA DURING
SUNDAY. A SERIES OF SHORT WAVE DISTURBANCES TRACKING FROM THE OHIO
VALLEY INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL ALLOW THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
TO GRADUALLY FLATTEN ALLOWING FOR A MORE ZONAL PROGRESSIVE FLOW.
IN ADDITION WILL NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE RECENT DEVELOPMENT OF
SUBTROPICAL LOW GABRIELLE WHICH IS GRADUALLY GETTING MORE ORGANIZED
OFF THE SOUTHEAST U.S. COAST. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DEEPENING ACROSS
THE MIDSECTION OF THE COUNTRY LATER THIS WEEK WILL ALLOW THE UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE TO REBUILD ACROSS THE EASTERN SEABOARD.

A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL ADVANCE INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND ON MONDAY
WHICH IS MORE PROGRESSIVE THAN SOME OF YESTERDAYS 00Z GUIDANCE.
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WITH ITS SHALLOW MARINE AIRMASS WILL BEGIN LOSE
ITS INFLUENCE ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. VERTICAL CROSS SECTIONS
INDICATE LOTS OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. ALTHOUGH THE WARM FRONT MAY
NEVER LIFT NORTH OF THE ENTIRE REGION...SUNSHINE MAY BURN THROUGH
THE LOW LEVEL INVERSION AWAY FROM THE COAST AND COULD ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO RISE AROUND 80 DEGREES OR HIGHER. HOWEVER WITH THE
COLD FRONT NEARBY WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES SOMEWHAT CONSERVATIVELY
WARM FOR NOW AND UNDERCUT MOS TEMPS BY JUST A FEW DEGREES. WILL
ALSO CONTINUE WITH CHANCE POPS.

OUR ATTENTION TURNS TO SUBTROPICAL STORM GABRIELLE WHICH IS BECOMING
GRADUALLY BETTER ORGANIZED OFF THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. COAST. THE LOW
IS PROGGED BY THE TROPICAL PREDICTION CENTER TO MAKE LANDFALL ALONG
THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST SUNDAY MORNING BEFORE MAKING A SHARP TURN TO
THE NORTHEAST...TRACKING ACROSS THE OFFSHORE WATERS TUESDAY MORNING.
OUR WIND GRIDS WERE POPULATED WITH THE LATEST TCM DATA FROM THE
TROPICAL PREDICTION CENTER. THIS SHOULD BRING TROPICAL STORM FORCE
WINDS NEAR OR JUST OUTSIDE THE OUTER COASTAL WATERS TUESDAY. OTHERWISE
CONTINUED WITH CHANCE POPS TUESDAY AT THIS TIME AS A COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO SLOWLY CROSS THE REGION.

DID NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES BEYOND TUESDAY AT THIS TIME EXCEPT
TO MODIFY WIND VELOCITIES TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY MAINLY DUE TO
GABRIELLE FOR COLLABORATIVE PURPOSES. OTHER ELEMENTS MAY NEED TO BE
MODIFIED IN FUTURE RUNS FOR CONSISTENCY PURPOSES WEDNESDAY DAY 5
DEPENDING ON THE PROJECTED TRACK OF GABRIELLE. THE LATEST GFS/ECMWF
BUILDS A HIGH PRESSURE AREA INTO THE NORTHEAST. THIS MAKES SOME SENSE
GIVEN A DEVELOPING PROGRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL FLOW. MORE UNSETTLED
WEATHER COULD DEVELOP LATER IN THE WEEK AS THE MIDWESTERN TROUGH
DEEPENS AND A COLD FRONT APPROACHES.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS MAY BRIEFLY LOWER CONDITIONS TO MVFR/IFR
THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING MAINLY ACROSS INTERIOR TAF
SITES...OTHERWISE VFR. MORE WIDESPREAD MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS LIKELY
LATER TONIGHT WITH AREA OF SHOWERS POSSIBLY DEVELOPING FROM CT
VALLEY NORTHWARD TO SOUTHERN NH AND MERRIMACK VALLEY.

TRICKY FORECAST FOR SUN AS FRONT WILL LIKELY STALL NEAR MASS PIKE
REGION. NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY WIDESPREAD MVFR/IFR LIKELY INCLUDING
KMHT/KBOS WITH LESS PROBABILITY AT KBAF...AND STEADY OVERRUNNING
SHOWERS LIKELY ACROSS N MA AND S NH. SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY...AREAS
OF MVFR/IFR SHOULD IMPROVE TO VFR BY MIDDAY AS DRIER AIR ADVECTS
NORTHWARD FROM THE OCEAN.

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL BRING SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH MARGINAL VFR/IFR CONDITIONS MONDAY AND
TUESDAY. FOG PATCHES AND STRATUS WILL BRING IFR CONDITIONS SUNDAY
NIGHT AND AGAIN MONDAY NIGHT MAINLY ALONG THE COAST AND INTERIOR
VALLEYS. CONDITIONS MAY IMPROVE TO VFR BEHIND THE COLD FRONT IN
NORTHWEST FLOW BY LATE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...SCA ISSUED FOR S COASTAL WATERS AS SW WINDS INCREASE
CONSIDERABLY MIDDAY AS LAND HEATS AND DEVELOPS SWLY LLJ SE NEW
ENGLAND. BEST MIXING WILL BE OVER NEARSHORE S COASTAL WATERS AND WE
EXPANDED SCA TO INCLUDE RI SOUND.

TONIGHT...WINDS AND SEAS EASE.

SUN...SHIFTING WINDS...BRIEF PRD OF 20-25 KT NE WINDS IN THE MORNING.
THEN AS WINS SETTLES...DENSE FOG MAY BECOME A NAVIGATION PROBLEM NR
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW SUNDAY NIGHT WILL DIMINISH...WITH WINDS VEERING
TO THE SOUTH MONDAY AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO
NORTHWEST BEHIND A COLD FRONT TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. WINDS
MAY INCREASE CLOSE TO TROPICAL STORM FORCE FOR A TIME TUESDAY ACROSS
THE OUTER PORTIONS OF ANZ254-255. ANY INCREASE IN SWELL SHOULD BE
CONFINED TO THOSE LOCATIONS GIVEN THE LOW TRACK ALMOST DUE EAST.

SUB TROPICAL STORM GABRIELLE IS APPROACHING THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF

SOUTHEAST OF NEW ENGLAND THIS COMING MONDAY AND TUESDAY SHOULD
MONITOR FORECASTS EVERY 6 TO 12 HOURS INCLUDING TROPICAL PREDICTION
CENTER GUIDANCE ON THE EVENTUAL RECURVATURE OF THIS STORM.

THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY THAT THIS STORM MAY GRAZE THE SOUTHERN
MOST PORTIONS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLAND COASTAL WATERS

WINDS. THERE CAN BE LARGE TRACKING ERRORS FOR STORMS 3 TO 4 DAYS IN

SIZE AND TRACK WHEN THIS RECURVES ARE STILL HIGHLY UNCERTAIN. THE
PRIMARY RISK IS FOR A PERIOD OF WIND THAT WOULD BE SIMILAR TO A
SQUALLY GALE. OTHER IMPACTS MIGHT BE A PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN...HIGH
SEAS AND ASSOCIATED SURF AND INCREASED RISK OF DANGEROUS RIP
