AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
412 PM EDT THU JUN 28 2007
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE REGION THIS EVENING WILL BE
ACCOMPANIED BY SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY
SOUTH OF THE MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE. OTHERWISE...MUCH COOLER
WEATHER WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION FROM FRIDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
UNSETTLED WEATHER MAY RETURN BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...BUT TIMING
AND DURATION IS HIGHLY UNCERTAIN.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 10 PM THIS EVENING/...
NO CHANGE YET TO THE FCST.
STORMS TRYING TO DEVELOP...NOT QUITE YET BUT EMPHASIS SHOULD CONTINUE
SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE...WHERE AT 2PM MOISTURE POOLING APPARENT
IN CT/RI SE MASS.
BOSTON AND HARTFORD HAVE NOW OFFICIALY HEAT WAVE...3 CONSEC DAYS OF
90 OR HIGHER. BOS DID IT AT 205 PM. BDL BEFORE 2 PM. PVD AND MHT MAY
SOON GO TO 90 PLUS. HI NOW LOW-MID 90SW BOS-CEF SWD.
MODIFIED ALB 12Z SOUNDING FOR 90/69 AND PW IS 1.9...KI36 TT 45 SWEAT
241 WITH 35 KTS DOWN TO 12K...WBZ 13.2 LCL IS FAIRLY LOW...300O FT.
1100J OF CAPE WITH ONLY 5J OF CIN. THIS CIN SHOULD EASILY BE
OVERCOME.
USING ABOUT 14.4 FOR 0 AND 25.5 FOR -20C AS WELL AS TROP 40 AND EL
41-44. MAX CLOUD TOP ARD 51K. VIL AROUND 55 SHOULD BE A GOOD NUMBER
FOR NON MESO SVR...BUT WELL ADJUST AS NEEDED.
&&
.SHORT TERM /10 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THIS ACTIVITY SHIFTS TO THE SOUTH COAST BETWEEN
00Z AND 06Z THIS EVENING THEN OFFSHORE OVERNIGHT. COOLER AND DRIER
AIR WILL THEN GRADUALLY INFILTRATE THE REGION.
AN AIR QUALITY ALERT CONTINUES FOR ALL OF RHODE ISLAND UNTIL 8PM
TODAY. PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST AQABOX STATEMENT.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT. GUIDANCE NUMBERS LOOK
REASONABLE AND WE EXPECT LOWS MAINLY IN THE 50S...WITH LOWER 60S IN
THE URBAN HEAT ISLAND OF BOSTON.
SKIES WILL START OUT SUNNY SATURDAY MORNING...BUT WE SHOULD SEE
SKIES BECOME PARTLY CLOUDY WITH SOME DIURNAL CUMULUS DEVELOPING
DURING THE AFTERNOON. GUIDANCE NUMBERS LOOK GOOD AND WE EXPECT
HIGHS TO RANGE FROM THE UPPER 70S TO AROUND 80.
LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING A STRONG SHORTWAVE WILL DROP
DOWN IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE
LACKING...BUT COLD AIR ALOFT WITH 500 MB TEMPERATURES DROPPING TO
BETWEEN -16C AND -20C MAY STEEPEN LAPSE RATES ENOUGH TO PRODUCE
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND EVEN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS LATE IN
THE AFTERNOON/EVENING. WILL RUN WITH 15 TO 30 POPS FOR A FEW HOURS
DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING TO COVER THIS POTENTIAL.
BEST CHANCE WILL BE IN SOUTHERN NH...CLOSEST TO THE COLD POOL.
EITHER WAY...THE AREAL COVERAGE AND DURATION OF THE ACTIVITY WILL BE
LIMITED. OTHERWISE...SKIES SHOULD BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR LATER
SATURDAY EVENING AS LOW TEMPERATURES FALL MAINLY INTO THE 50S.
SUNDAY LOOKS TO BE A PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY AND BEAUTIFUL DAY. WITH
DEEP NORTHEAST TROUGH FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...HIGHS SHOULD MAINLY BE
IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S...WITH HIGHS ONLY REACHING INTO THE UPPER
60S ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. WILL INSERT A 15 TO 20 POP FOR A FEW
HOURS DURING THE LATER AFTERNOON/EVENING IN CASE AN ISOLATED SHOWER
OR THUNDERSTORM POPS UP AS ITS QUITE COLD ALOFT. EITHER WAY
THOUGH...MOST LOCATIONS SHOULD REMAIN DRY.
OUR STRING OF NICE WEATHER SHOULD CONTINUE INTO MONDAY. SKIES
SHOULD BE PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S WITH COOL
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
THE FORECAST BECOMES MORE UNCERTAIN IN THE TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
PORTION OF THE FORECAST. THE GFS MODEL SEEMS A BIT FAST IN BRINING
IN PRECIPITATION TO OUR REGION MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY
MORNING...WHEN COMPARING IT TO THE UKMET/CANADIAN/ECMWF. FOR NOW WE
WILL HOLD OFF ON CHANCE POPS UNTIL THE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY TIME FRAME. CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY ON TIMING OF THE
PRECIPITATION BUT WE DO NOT EXPECT A WASHOUT OVER THIS TIME AND IT
MAY BE RAIN FREE FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE TIME. AS FOR HIGH
TEMPERATURES...THINK HIGHS WILL MAINLY BE IN THE 70S TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY BUT MUCH OF THE REGION MAY BE BACK INTO THE 80S BY
THURSDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ALL TAFS WERE AMENDED FOR SOMEWHAT IMPROVED VSBY. LIFR ST/FOG FLIRTS
WITH HYA AND TAF TODAY...A PBLM FCST.
CONCERN FOR THUNDER BTWN BOS-ALB... MOST OF IT SHOULD BE ALONG AND
S OF MASS TURNPIKE THIS AFTN.
GROWING CUMULUS WILL DEVELOP TO CUMULONIMBUS CLOUDS BY 16-17Z SOON
AFTER THE CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURE HAS BEEN REACHED INLAND.
AREAS SHRA-TSRA WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE NORTHERN TERMINALS BETWEEN
16Z-18Z THEN KBDL-KBAF-KORH-KBOS-KPVD FM 18Z TO 23Z WITH SCT
MVFR-IFR VSBYS AND CEILINGS. SOME STORMS COULD PRODUCE STRONG GUSTY
WINDS... FREQUENT LIGHTNING...HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND HAIL. SHRA-TSRA
SHIFT TO KHYA-KACK TERMINALS 23Z-05Z.
OUTLOOK FROM FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY: WE EXPECT MAINLY VFR
CONDITIONS OVER THIS TIME. THERE COULD BE VERY BRIEF MVFR
CONDITIONS LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING IN ANY ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS THAT DEVELOP.
&&
.MARINE...
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE SOUTHEASTERN WATERS DUE
TO SOUTHWESTERLY SWELL. AN SCA FOR BUZZARDS BAY CONTS DUE TO FAVORABLE
SW WIND TRAJECTORY WHICH SHOULD ALLOW SEAS TO BUILD TO 5 FT. LATEST
OBSERVATIONS INDICATE WIND GUSTS TO 25 KT AS WELL.
MVCO PEAKED IN WH OVERNIGHT...SO A ITS AN UNCOMFORTABLE 4-5 FT OUT
THERE... NOT THE HUGE NUMBERS FROM WNA OF SEVERAL DAYS AGO.
IN THE LONG TERM...NO HEADLINES ARE ANTICIPATED ACROSS OUR WATERS
FROM FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL
OF LOW 20 KNOT WIND GUSTS NEAR SHORE SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH
EXCELLENT MIXING OVER LAND. THERE ALSO IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME
ISOLATED CONVECTION TO MAKES ITS WAY OUT OVER THE WATERS LATE
SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING.
