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

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO CENTRAL NEW ENGLAND THIS EVENING AND
STALL NEAR NORTHERN MASSACHUSETTS BY SUNDAY MORNING. THE FRONT WILL
MOVE NORTH AS A WARM FRONT SUNDAY NIGHT. LOW PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS
NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL THEN SWING THE FRONT THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND ON MONDAY NIGHT. TROPICAL STORM GABRIELLE WILL PASS 180
NAUTICAL MILES SOUTH OF NANTUCKET MONDAY NIGHT. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. LOWPRESSURE WILL
MOVE EAST FROM THE GREAT LAKES...SWINGING A COLD FRONT EAST AND
BRINGING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 10 PM THIS EVENING/...
SHOWERS/TSTMS ORGANIZING INTO A LINE AHEAD OF COLD FRONT MOVING SWD
FROM FAR NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  SCT-BKN LINE OF CONVECTION FROM S NH
THROUGH BERKS TO SE NY AT 3 PM.  19Z MESOANALYSIS SHOWS MAX
INSTABILITY AXIS WITH MLCAPES 2000+ J/KG FROM SE NH THROUGH CENTRAL
MA AND NW CT.  SO WE EXPECT CURRENT AREA OF CONVECTION TO INCREASE
IN INTENSITY AS IT MOVES INTO VERY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT.  AREA FROM
NE MA THROUGH NW CT IS OF MOST CONCERN NEXT FEW HOURS.

WARNING THRESHOLDS ARE 50-55 DBZ TO 26K AND 60-65 DBZ TO 15K.

BASED ON KI/TT AXIS...MAIN AREA OF CONVECTION SHOULD REACH LWM-HFD
LINE EARLY THIS EVENING WHILE GRADUALLY WEAKENING WITH LOSS OF
HEATING AND DECREASING INSTABILITY.  NO WEATHER EXPECTED SOUTH AND
EAST OF BOS-PVD CORRIDOR THROUGH EARLY EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /10 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE SOUTH TO N MA LATE TONIGHT AND HIGHER
RESOLUTION NAM SUGGESTS IT WILL ONLY GET TO MASS PIKE SUN MORNING
BEFORE STALLING AND EVENTUALLY LIFTING BACK NORTH SUN NIGHT.

MODELS SHOW GOOD OVERUNNING NORTH OF BOUNDARY WITH BEST LIFT ACROSS
NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND LATE TONIGHT AND SUN.  BUT IT DOES APPEAR
SOUTHERN EXTENT OF OVERUNNING MOISTURE/LIFT WILL AFFECT FAR N ZONES
LATE TONIGHT AND SUN WHERE IT MAY BE WET.  IT WILL BE DRIER SOUTH OF
THE BOUNDARY ACROSS CT/RI AND SE MA AND EXPECT LITTLE OR NO PRECIP
THROUGH SUN CLOSER TO THE SOUTH COAST.  IN FACT...DRIER AIR FROM THE
OCEAN ADVECTS NORTHWARD ACROSS SOUTH COASTAL AREAS ON SUN WITH 850
TDS DROPPING TO NEAR ZERO AND SO WE EXPECT SOME SUNSHINE WILL
DEVELOP ACROSS PORTIONS OF CT/RI AND SE MA ON SUN.

WE RELIED ON SREF AND GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN POPS AND HAVE INDICATED
LIKELY POPS LATE TONIGHT/SUN NORTH OF ROUTE 2 REGION DECREASING TO
SLIGHT CHANCE NEAR THE SOUTH COAST BUT LITTLE IF ANY PRECIP EXPECTED
IN THE COASTAL PLAIN.  WE ALSO INCLUDED THUNDER ON SUN AWAY FROM S
COAST BASED ON ELEVATED INSTABILITY PARAMETERS.

DIFFICULT TEMP FCST SUNDAY DUE TO STRATUS COOL ELY FLOW SEPARATED
FROM RESIDUAL BL WARMTH S OF THE BOUNDARY. MUCH COOLER DAY ON SUN N
OF THE BOUNDARY ACROSS N MA AND S NH LOCKED IN CLOUDS AND SHOWERS
WITH TEMPS IN THE LOWER 70S AND POSSIBLY FALLING INTO 60S NE MA.
BUT TEMPS SHOULD REACH 80 DEGREES S OF THE PIKE WHERE SOME SUNSHINE
WILL LIKELY DEVELOP...AND GIVEN LEFTOVER WARM 850 MB TEMPS...IT
COULD GET INTO MID 80S IF THERE IS ENOUGH SUNSHINE BUT LOW
CONFIDENCE AT THIS TIME.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
WITH THE BOUNDARY TO OUR NORTH SUNDAY NIGHT THAT WILL LEAVE THE WARM
HUMID AIR OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THE SURFACE WIND FLOW LOOKS TO
BE LIGHT. SO WE WILL GO WITH FOG FOR SUNDAY NIGHT. LOW PRESSURE
SWINGS THE COLD FRONT THROUGH OUR AREA ON MONDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. WITH MOISTURE FROM GABRIELLE FEEDING IN...THIS SHOULD BRING
A CHANCE OF SHOWERS...AND ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR A CHANCE OF THUNDER.
THE UPPER FLOW REMAINS SOUTHWEST THROUGH TUESDAY...MAKING IT
DIFFICULT FOR THE FRONT TO COMPLETELY MOVE OFFSHORE. MEANWHILE THE
RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF THE 250 MB JET MOVES OVER SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND TUESDAY AND TUESDAY EVENING WHICH SHOULD HELP REGENERATE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WITH THE UNCERTAINTY ON EXACT TIMING...WE
WENT WITH CHANCE POPS FOR TUESDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN WEDNESDAY...SO NO POPS. THE NEXT FRONT
APPROACHES LATE THURSDAY OR FRIDAY...SO CHANCE POPS FOR THE LATE
WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z 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.

MVFR EXPECTED IN AREAS OF FOG SUNDAY NIGHT...THEN MVFR OR IFR IN
LOCALLY HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY-TUESDAY AS THE COLD
FRONT SLOWLY SWINGS THROUGH. VFR MIDWEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY EXTENDED UNTIL 8 PM FOR NEARSHORE
WATERS.  WINDS WILL SUBSIDE OVERNIGHT WITH SW FLOW 10-15 KTS ON SUN
SOUTHERN WATERS...AND LIGHT ELY FLOW ACROSS NE WATERS.  SEAS OVER
OUTER WATERS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW 5 FT.

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

WINDS AND SEAS SETTLE MONDAY-TUESDAY ALTHOUGH SOME CONCERN OF SWELL
FROM GABRIELLE OVER THE SOUTHERN WATERS DUIRNG THIS TIME. ONCE THE
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH LATE TUESDAY NORTH WINDS ON WAVEWATCH KICK
UP THE SEAS ON THE OUTER WATERS FOR WEDNESDAY TO MARGINAL SMALL CRAFT
LEVELS.
