AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
433 PM EDT MON JUN 11 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE 350 MILES ESE OF CAPE COD WILL KEEP A PERSISTENT OCCASIONALLY
DAMP NE FLOW OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND INTO WED NIGHT. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER NEW ENGLAND THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY WITH A
TREND TOWARD WARMER WEATHER. A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP SOUTH ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS IN ON MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 10 PM THIS EVENING/...
TSTMS OCCURRING WITH SMALL CORES 65 DBZ ABV THE FRZG LVL OF ABOUT 11.5
PROB RESULTING IN SML HAIL VCNTY CEF ARD 1920Z PER RADAR OPR MLE.
THIS IS IN BEST FGEN REGION ALONG WITH BEST MUCAPE AND INSTABILITY.
INVERTED V SOUNDING TO ALLOW FOR CONTD GUST 25 KTS NR HEAVIEST
SHWRS. MODELS INDICATE MARGINAL INSTABILITY IN THE INTERIOR SO WE
CONTINUED CHANCE TSTMS. 500 TEMPS AROUND -13 SO ANY TSTMS COULD
PRODUCE SMALL HAIL BUT SEVERE WEATHER NOT ANTICIPATED DUE TO WEAK
WIND FIELD AND MARGINAL INSTABILITY.

CONVECTION DIMINISHES RAPIDLY AROUND SUNSET.

OTRW SHOWERS ON THE PERIPHERY OF NEARLY STNRY LOW PRES ABOUT 350 MI
ESE OF ACK AND PER RADAR..HANDLED IN THE ZONES.

SRF FCST WAS CHECKD AT 1045 AM AND 2 PM W MDT RISK FOR OUTER CAPE
COD STILL POSSIBLY ENDING UP A LOW RISK. THIS FCST IS PARTLY BASED ON
THE MODELED FCST OF INCREASING ELY SWELL JUST BEGINNING TO REACH THE
OUTER WATERS. ITS A MARGINAL MDT RISK AT WORST BUT IF SWELLS BUILD
ANOTHER FOOT OR TWO...THEN THE CURRENT LOW RISK WOULD BE A MDT. ALL
OTHER FACTORS ARE NULL FOR NOW. SWELL IS VERY SLOWLY BUILDING AT
44008.

&&

.SHORT TERM /10 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
THERE IS NOT MUCH FOCUS FOR PRECIP OVERNIGHT WITH PRIMARY REGION PROB E
MASS COAST ASSTD WITH ONSHORE FLOW AND SHIELD OF DEEPER MOISTURE
ASSTD WITH OFFSHORE NRLY STATIONARY CIRCULATION.

ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SPREADING INLAND WILL RESULT IN LOW
CLOUDS IN EASTERN ZONES WITH AREAS OF FOG AND DRIZZLE LIKELY LATE BOS
TO PYM TO CAPE/ISLANDS.

GFS MOS GUIDANCE TEMPS.

STACKED LOW EAST OF THE BENCHMARK WILL MAINTAIN NE FLOW ACROSS SNE
ON TUESDAY WITH LOTS OF CLOUDS....ESPECIALLY EASTERN ZONES.  WEAK
LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS NEAR THE COAST WHICH SHOULD BRING BREEZY CONDITIONS
TO SE COASTAL MA AND CAPE/ISLANDS. WE WILL CONTINUE WITH LOW CHANCE
POPS FOR TUE ALTHOUGH THERE IS NOT MUCH FORCING FOR ORGANIZED PRECIP.
MARGINAL INSTABILITY DEVELOPS AGAIN IN THE INTERIOR SO WE MENTIONED
CHANCE TSTMS WEST FRINGE. TEMPS TUE SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO MON...RANGING FROM
UPPER 60S EAST COASTAL MA TO LOWER 80S CT VALLEY.

BL RH OF GFS/NAM UTILIZED FOR THE LOW CLOUDS/FOG...BASICALLY BACKS
WWD TO ORH AREA ARD 06Z THEN SLIDES S FOR A BIT ARD 12Z BEFORE
HEADING BACK W TUE AFTN.

CONCERN FOR HIGH SURF ADVY CAPE COD TUE AFTN BUT LOW PRO AT THIS TIME
FOR 7 FOOTERS.

ALSO CONCERN FOR SPLASHOVER AT HIGH TIDE BUT THATS MORE OF A POSSIBLE PBLM
TUE NIGHT?

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY LOOKS GENERALLY DRY. MAIN UNCERTAINTY
WOULD BE IN THE INTERIOR. WHILE MOST STABILITY INDICES BECOME
UNFAVORABLE FOR CONVECTION WEDNESDAY...THE TQ INDEX CLIMBS TO AROUND
16 IN THE WEST AND THE CENTRAL HILLS. SO CONVECTION IS NOT ENTIRELY
OUT OF THE QUESTION. WE WILL GO WITH 25-30 PERCENT CHANCE POPS IN
THE INTERIOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THE ATMOSPHERE SHOULD THEN
STABILIZE IN THE EVENING.

A LIGHT TO EASTERLY FLOW THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH TEMPS ALOFT
6-8C...SO MAXIMUM HEATING POTENTIAL SHOULD BE IN THE 70S WITH COOLER
TEMPS EXPECTED NEAR THE EASTERN COAST. THE HIGH SHIFTS SOUTH FRIDAY
NIGHT SETTING UP A SOUTHWEST FLOW SATURDAY AND WITH TEMPS ALOFT
10-12C WHICH WOULD SUPPORT MAX VALUES IN THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80.

THE BLOCKY UPPER PATTERN BREAKS DOWN A LITTLE SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY AS LOW PRESSURE FROM THE PLAINS CLIMBS NORTH OF THE GREAT
LAKES TO HUDSON BAY AND THEN SWINGS A COLD FRONT SOUTH INTO NEW
ENGLAND. CLOUDS AHEAD OF THIS FRONT SHOULD INCREASE SATURDAY NIGHT.
WHILE MOST OF THE DYNAMICAL SUPPORT REMAINS IN NORTHERN
QUEBEC...A 57 KNOT NORTHEAST JET IS FORECAST OVER THE MID ATLANTIC
SUNDAY WITH NEW ENGLAND IN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION. SO CHANCE POPS
ARE REASONABLE SUNDAY WITH THE COLD FROPA. TEMPS ALOFT ARE AROUND 14C
WHICH WOULD SUPPORT LOW TO MID 80S WITH SUFFICIENT SUN.

HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS IN FOR MONDAY BUT THE AIRMASS IS ABOUT THE
SAME AS THE PRE-FRONTAL AIRMASS WITH TEMPS ALOFT 14C.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
PLS SEE TAFS FOR DETAILS.

VFR INTERIOR XCPT IN PATCH OF SMALL TSTMS MOVING SWWD OUT OF CT RVR
VALLEY WHICH SHOULD DIMINISH OR PUSH W OF OUR AREA ARD SUNSET.

IFR CONDS IN ST DEVELOPING MIST-DRIZZLE SHOULD BE REFORMING ACK AND HYA
BY 00Z AND SPREAD STEADILY W PER THE NAM AND GFS BL RH OF 97 PCT.
BASICALLY IT RECEDES BRIEFLY S ARD 12Z TUE THEN REDEVELOPS WNW DURING
MIDDAY INTO BOS AND BACK TO ORH BY 00Z WED.

SCATTERED SHOWERS OFFSHORE SPREADING ONTO THE CAPE NOW AND LATER
TONIGHT REMAINDER E MA COAST.

NE WINDS MAY GUST TO 25 KTS HYA/KACK AND BOS AS LOW LEVEL NE FLOW
INCREASES.

OUTLOOK TUE NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...LINGERING INSTABILITY INLAND MAY
CAUSE A FEW SHOWERS ACROSS MHT-ORH-BAF-BDL WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. LOW
PRESSURE OFFSHORE WILL BRING LOWER CLOUDS AND POSSIBLY SHOWERS TO
THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. OTHERWISE...WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY LOOK DRY
AND COOL WITH AN EASTERLY FLOW. THE WINDS SHOULD COME AROUND TO
SOUTHWEST ON SATURDAY WITH CONTINUED DRY WEATHER.

&&

.MARINE...
IN THE SHORTER TERM...SCA ISSUED FOR SOME OF THE EASTERN WATERS WHERE
SEAS SLOWLY BUILDING AND GUSTS OF 20-27 KTS. SLOWLY WORSENING
CONDITIONS THROUGH TUE EVENING. SCA HAS HIGH PROB VERIFICATION BY TUE
IN WATERS E OF CAPE.

SCA MAY NEED EXPANSION TUE AFTN OR NIGHT FOR WATERS S OF NEW ENGLAND.

INCREASING E/NE SWELL WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASED RISK OF RIP
CURRENTS FOR EAST FACING BEACHES TUESDAY.

IN THE LONGER TERM...
EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS THROUGH MIDWEEK WITH SPEEDS AT OR GUSTING TO
SMALL CRAFT LEVELS WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS
OVER THE WATERS AND SHOULD DIMINISH THE WINDS FOR FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY. THE CONSTANT EAST AND NORTHEAST FLOW WILL BUILD A 5 TO 7 FOOT
SWELL WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY. THIS WILL DIMINISH AS THE WINDS LIGHTEN AND
SWITCH TO SOUTHWEST ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
SURGE SLOWLY BUILDING THIS AFTN AT BOS/ACK TO BTWN 0.4 TO 0.7 FT.

ASTRO TIDES ARE COMING UP NOW AND WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE 8 FOOT OCEAN
SWELL WELL E OF CAPE COD EVENTUALLY ARRIVING MIDWEEK AND COMBINING WITH
PERSISTENT NE WIND CAUSING A 1 FT SURGE AND POSSIBLE MINOR SPLASHOVER
AT THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE THE E MASS COAST. BEACH EROSION COULD BECOME
NOTICEABLE ON OUTER CAPE COD TUESDAY AFTN DUE TO THIS LARGE OCEAN LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM.
