DEVELOPING OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WILL BRING A PROLONGED PERIOD
OF RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES BEGINNING TONIGHT AND CONTINUING INTO
SATURDAY. RAIN SHOULD BE MORE SHOWERY BY SUNDAY...WITH DRIER AND
SEASONABLE WEATHER THEN RETURNING EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SOME LOW CLOUDS WERE LINGERING NEAR BOSTON WITH THE ONSHORE WIND
LATE THIS MORNING...BUT THIS SHOULD DISSIPATE BY EARLY AFTERNOON.
OTHERWISE...NOTING INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS OVER THE REGION ON THE FAR
NORTHERN EDGE OF THE DEVELOPING MID ATLC LOW. ALSO NOTE SOME LOW
SCATTERED CLOUDS INTO LONG ISLAND AS WELL.
REGIONAL MOSAIC RADAR SHOWING SOME PRECIP TRYING TO GET INTO THE
SOUTH COAST OF LONG ISLAND...BUT TENDING TO DISSIPATE AS IT SHIFTS
N. STEADIEST RAIN FROM ABOUT THE SOUTHERN NJ COAST SOUTHWARD. ALSO
NOTED GOOD CONCENTRATIONS OF C/G LIGHTNING EARLIER THIS MORNING...
BUT TENDING TO WANE AROUND MIDDAY. AT THIS POINT...FEEL THAT THE
SUBSIDENCE IN PLACE WITH THE HIGH RIDGING OVER S NH INTO THE GULF OF
MAINE AND SOUTHERN NOVA SCOTIA WILL KEEP REGION DRY THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE DAY.
TIGHTENING PRES GRADIENT WILL RESULT IN 30 MPH GUSTS REACHING THE
CAPE AND ISLANDS LATE IN THE DAY...THEN SHIFTING N.
TEMPS ON THE GRIDS RUNNING A BIT WARMER THAN CURRENT READINGS AT
15Z...BUT ONLY A DEGREE OR TWO AT MOST. FEEL THAT CURRENT MAX TEMP
FORECAST ON TRACK TO FEW IF ANY ADJUSTMENTS ON THE FORECAST.
IN ADDITION...BUILDING SEAS AND STRENGTHENING EAST TO NORTHEAST
WINDS OVER THE WATERS WILL CREATE HIGH SURF AND DANGEROUS RIP
CURRENTS TO BEACHES ALONG THE SOUTH COAST/CAPE/ISLANDS.
THEREFORE...WILL CONTINUE THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR THIS REGION.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
TONIGHT...
THE LOW OFF THE CAROLINAS WILL CONTINUE TO GATHER STRENGTH. AFTER A
QUICK LOOK AT THE NEW 12Z OP MODELS...STILL NOTING AN INVERTED
TROUGH TRYING TO SET UP FROM THE LOW INTO EASTERN MA/RI REGION...
THOUGH STILL SOME SPREAD AS TO WHERE IT WILL ULTIMATELY SET UP.
APPEARS THAT IT WILL BE A RATHER SHARP PRECIP LINE ON THE NORTHERN
EDGE TONIGHT...BUT MAY START TO SHIFT IN A BIT EARLIER THAN PREVIOUS
FORECAST. HAVE UPDATED THE ZONES AND GRIDS TO REFLECT A LITTLE
FASTER START TIME.
IN ADDITION...MODELS STILL SHOWING STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL JET
MOVING ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL RESULT IN THE
POTENTIAL FOR 30 TO 35 MPH WIND GUSTS ALONG THE SOUTH COAST. THE
WINDS WILL EVEN BE STRONGER ACROSS THE ISLANDS. BUFKIT SHOWS THE
POTENTIAL FOR 40 TO 45 MPH WIND GUSTS ACROSS BLOCK ISLAND AND
NANTUCKET. WITH POCKETS OF HEAVY RAINFALL...WILL NOT TAKE MUCH TO
MIX DOWN HIGHER WINDS AT 2-3KFT ABOVE THE SURFACE. WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR THE POTENTIAL FOR A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE SOUTH COAST...CAPE
COD AND THE ISLANDS LATE TONIGHT.
FRIDAY...
PERIODS OF RAIN AND A STIFF NORTHEAST WIND WILL MAKE FOR A MISERABLE
DAY ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. WILL BE RUNNING WITH 100 POPS
ACROSS THE REGION AS CONFIDENCE IS VERY HIGH. THE HEAVIEST RAIN
LOOKS TO FALL SOUTH OF THE MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE BASED ON MODEL
CONSENSUS. THIS MAKES SENSE CONSIDERING THE INVERTED TROUGH WILL BE
TO THE SOUTH OF THIS REGION...WITH A STRONG SOUTHEAST LOW LEVEL JET
INTERSECTING THE REGION. PWATS WILL ALSO BE QUITE HIGH FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR AT AROUND 2 INCHES. THIS WILL LEAD TO THE TYPICAL
URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING.
IT WILL FEEL QUITE CHILLY WITH GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY REACH INTO THE UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S. WE
ALSO WILL BE CONTINUING THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR THE SOUTH
COAST...CAPE AND ISLANDS AS LARGE BREAKERS AND DANGEROUS RIP
CURRENTS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO AFFECT AREA BEACHES. WE MAY NEED
TO EXPAND THIS ONTO THE EASTERN MA COAST AS SEAS BUILD OVER THIS
REGION AS WELL.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE WEATHER THEME REMAINS THE SAME THIS FORECAST PERIOD - PERIODS OF
HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE FRI NIGHT INTO SAT NIGHT AS CLOSED LOW OVER THE
MID ATLC AND A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN ATLC SETS UP A
TROPICAL CONVEYOR BELT OF MOISTURE INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
TWO FEATURES OF INTEREST WITHIN THIS LARGE SCALE FLOW ARE - AN
EXTRATROPICAL LOW WITH BANDED PRECIP CURRENTLY OFF THE MID ATLC
COAST. THIS FEATURE MAY BECOME SUB-TROPICAL WITH TIME...HOWEVER ALL
MODEL GUIDANCE HAVE THIS SYSTEM MOVING INLAND AND WEAKENING...WITH
THE MAIN THREAT BEING HEAVY RAIN. THIS CLOSED LOW IS EXPECTED
TO WEAKEN AND BECOME AN OPEN WAVE AS IT TRACKS NORTHEAST INTO NEW
ENGLAND SAT AND SUN. THIS WILL RESULT IN TROPICAL DRENCHING SHOWERS
HERE FRI NIGHT/SAT AND SAT NIGHT...POSSIBLY LINGERING INTO THE FIRST
HALF OF SUN.
THE OTHER FEATURE OF INTEREST IS THE TROPICAL LOW NEAR HISPANIOLA.
ALL MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUE TO SUGGEST THIS CIRCULATION BECOMING
BETTER ORGANIZED WITH TIME AS IT SLOWLY MOVES NORTHWARD ON THE
WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. THE 00Z GFS TRACKS THIS
CIRCULATION EAST OF CAPE COD LATE SAT. THE 00Z NAM AND GGEM ARE
FARTHER WEST INTO EASTERN MA...WITH THE 00Z ECMWF FARTHER EAST THAN
THE GFS. GIVEN THE LARGE SPREAD IN TRACK THE GFS SEEMS LIKE A
REASONABLE SOLUTION GIVEN ITS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ENVELOPE OF
SOLUTIONS. SO AT THIS TIME RANGE WE FOLLOWED THE GFS
SOLUTION...WHICH WOULD RESULT IN A TROPICAL SYSTEM TRACKING CLOSE TO
EASTERN MA IN THE SAT-SAT NIGHT TIME FRAME.
GIVEN THIS TROPICAL LOW STILL REMAINS VERY DISORGANIZED...CONFIDENCE
IS LOW ON THE STRENGTH OF A POSSIBLE TROPICAL CYCLONE TRACKING NEAR
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND SAT-SAT NIGHT. IN ADDITION...PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS
INDICATED A MUCH BETTER ORGANIZED TROPICAL SYSTEM BY NOW.
HENCE...MODELS HAVE BEEN TOO AGGRESSIVE IN DEVELOPING THIS TROPICAL
LOW. FOR NOW WE WILL JUST HAVE TO MONITOR LATEST OBSERVATIONS AND
LATER MODEL RUNS.
SUNDAY...
TROPICAL SYSTEM SHOULD BE WELL EAST OF THE REGION. HOWEVER...CLOSED
LOW OVER THE MID ATLC CURRENTLY IS PROGGED TO BE A WEAK OPEN WAVE
OVER NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY. THEREFORE...SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE.
ALTHOUGH NOT EXPECTING A WASHOUT SUNDAY.
MONDAY/TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY...
SHOULD BE A PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER MON HERE BEFORE THE NEXT SYSTEM
ARRIVES EITHER TUE OR WED. LOW CONFIDENCE ON TIMING AS 00Z
GGEM/ECMWF AND GFS ALL OFFER DIFFERENT TIMING.
&&
.AVIATION /16Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THIS AFTERNOON...VFR DESPITE AN INCREASE IN MID AND HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDINESS. NOTED SCT CLOUDS AROUND 1500-2500 FT AT KBOS WITH
ONSHORE WIND. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR. OTHERWISE...CLOUD DECK WILL
LOWER BUT NOT EXPECT MUCH BELOW 8000 FEET BEFORE SUNSET.
TONIGHT...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PROBABLY CONTINUE FOR THE FIRST PART
OF THE NIGHT. HOWEVER...CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE TO MVFR/IFR
LATE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AS LOW CLOUDS AND RAIN ADVANCE NORTHWARD.
IN ADDITION...25 TO 35 KNOT WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED ON THE SOUTH
COAST/CAPE/ISLANDS.
FRIDAY...WIDESPREAD IFR CONDITIONS OR LOWER EXPECTED ACROSS SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND IN PERIODS OF RAIN WHICH WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES.
OUTLOOK...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...
IFR CONDITIONS IN LOW CIGS AND RAIN SHOULD CONTINUE FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO SAT NIGHT. ANY LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR FROM FRI SHOULD DIMINISH BY
FRI NIGHT.
SUNDAY...CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE TO MVFR/VFR IN SCATTERED SHOWERS.
MONDAY...VFR.
&&
.MARINE...
THIS AFTERNOON...
PRES GRADIENT CONTINUES TO TIGHTEN BETWEEN STRONG HIGH EXTENDING
FROM NOVA SCOTIA TO S NH AND THE DEEPENING LOW OFF THE CAROLINAS.
ALREADY NOTING WINDS GUSTING UP TO 27 KTS WELL S OF NANTUCKET WITH
SEAS UP TO 7-11 FT AT THE BUOYS S OF NEW ENGLAND. EXPECT GUSTS TO
SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA MOVING INTO THE SOUTHERN WATERS...PUSHING
NORTHWARD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SEAS WILL BUILD TO 5 FT ON THE
EASTERN OUTER WATERS AS WELL.
TONIGHT...
STRONG LOW LEVEL JET WILL BRING 35 TO 40 KNOT EAST NORTHEAST WIND
GUSTS TO MUCH OF OUR SOUTHERN WATERS WHERE WE WILL GO WITH GALE
WARNINGS. FURTHER NORTH...WILL CONTINUE THE GALE WATCH FOR NARR
BAY...BUZZARDS/CAPE COD BAY AS WELL AS THE OUTER-WATERS EAST OF
BOSTON. SUSPECT WE WILL SEE 30 KNOT WIND GUSTS DEVELOP IN THIS
REGION...BUT THEY MAY TOO FAR REMOVED FROM THE LOW LEVEL JET TO SEE
GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS. IT WILL BE CLOSE THOUGH SO WILL LET THE NEXT
SHIFT TAKE A LOOK AT IT. IN ADDITION...PERSISTENT EAST TO NORTHEAST
WINDS WILL RESULT IN 10 TO 15 SEAS DEVELOPING ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN
OUTER-WATERS.
FRIDAY...
STRONG SCA TO GALE FORCE WINDS MAY CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS ACROSS THE REGION. WINDS MAY BEGIN TO SLACKEN A BIT DURING
THE AFTERNOON AS THE LOW LEVEL JET BEGINS TO WEAKEN SLIGHTLY...BUT
STILL EXPECT STRONG SCA CONDITIONS ALONG WITH HIGH SEAS OVER THE
OPEN OCEAN.
OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
FRI NIGHT...
WINDS BECOME SUB-GALE AND TURN EAST-SOUTHEAST. HOWEVER SEAS WILL
REMAIN ROUGH ON THE OCEAN WATERS.
SAT...TROPICAL LOW CURRENTLY NEAR HISPANIOLA WILL BE MOVING NORTH
AND MAY TRACK NEAR CAPE COD/NANTUCKET SAT-SAT NIGHT. CONFIDENCE IS
LOW ON THE TRACK AND INTENSITY OF THIS SYSTEM.
SUN...WINDS CONTINUE TO DIMINISH AND SEAS BEGIN TO SUBSIDE. VSBY
WILL IMPROVE AS WELL.
MONDAY...LIGHT FLOW WITH SEAS DIMINISHING.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
LATE TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...
RAIN WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION FROM SOUTH TO NORTH OVERNIGHT.
PERIODS OF RAIN WILL CONTINUE ON FRIDAY AND IT WILL BE HEAVY AT
TIMES...PARTICULARLY SOUTH OF THE MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE. RAINFALL
AMOUNTS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY WILL PROBABLY AVERAGE BETWEEN 1 AND 2
INCHES WITH LOCALLY SOME 3 INCH AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. THIS WILL RESULT
IN TYPICAL URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING...BUT SIGNIFICANT
FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY AS FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE
REMAINS VERY HIGH...WITH 3 TO 6 INCHES OF RAINFALL NEEDED TO INDUCE
FLOODING.
WILL NEED TO MONITOR THIS SITUATION VERY CLOSELY. MAY SEE SOME
POTENTIAL OF ISSUING FLOOD WATCHES AS EARLY AS FRIDAY AFTERNOON...
BUT THIS WILL BE DEPENDENT AS TO THE SET UP OF THE INVERTED TROUGH
AND WHERE THE HEAVY RAIN AXIS DEVELOPS AHEAD OF THE CAROLINA LOW.
THIS COULD BRING SMALL STREAM AND URBAN FLOODING DURING FRIDAY WITH
SOME TRAINING RAINFALL.
WILL ALSO NEED TO CONTINUE TO WATCH FOR CONTINUED FLOOD WATCHES FOR
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY NIGHT WITH A SECOND SLUG OF HEAVY
RAINFALL POSSIBLY MOVING INTO THE REGION FROM A TROPICAL TYPE LOW N
OF HISPANIOLA. CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW ON THE TRACK AND INTENSITY OF
THIS TROPICAL LOW...HOWEVER.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY...
STRONG ONSHORE FLOW AND LONG EASTERLY FETCH WILL BUILD LARGE SEAS ON
THE OCEAN WATERS THROUGH FRIDAY. FORTUNATELY ASTRONOMICAL TIDES ARE
FAIRLY LOW AND DURATION OF WIND WILL BE BRIEF...SO NOT EXPECTING
PROBLEMS FROM COASTAL FLOODING THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER...PERSISTENT EASTERLY FLOW AND HIGH SURF WILL RESULT IN
BEACH EROSION. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE ON EAST FACING BEACHES
EXPOSED TO THE OPEN OCEAN ON THE CAPE AND NANTUCKET.
