AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
351 PM EDT FRI SEP 19 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG PERSISTENT HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE OUR WEATHER FOR MUCH
OF THE NEXT 7 DAYS OR SO. THIS WILL GENERALLY MEAN FAIR SKIES...DRY
WEATHER AND COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES. THE EXCEPTION MAY BE
LATER SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY WHERE SOME CLOUDS AND SOME VERY
LIGHT PRECIPITATION MAY OCCUR.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...

ANOTHER CHILLY NIGHT AHEAD WITH TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES COLDER
THAN LAST NIGHT FOR LOCATIONS OUTSIDE THE URBAN CENTERS. SURFACE
RIDGE AXIS SETTLES SOUTH OVER THE REGION TONIGHT...PROVIDING MAINLY
CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS. THIS COMBINATION ALONG WITH A VERY DRY
ATMOSPHERE WITH DEW PTS IN THE 30S WILL PROMOTE IDEAL RADIATIONAL
COOLING. SO EXPECT MINS BY SUNRISE IN THE UPPER 30S AND LOWER 40S
FOR MUCH OF THE REGION. FOR NORTHWEST CT NORTHWARD UP THE CT RVR
VALLEY INTO SOUTHWEST NH TEMPS WILL DIP INTO THE LOW AND MID
30S...SO EXPECTING A WIDESPREAD FROST ACROSS THIS AREA. THUS HAVE
ISSUED A FROST ADVISORY FOR THIS AREA TONIGHT.

COULD SEE PATCHY FROST ACROSS EASTERN MA WHERE THE WIND GOES CALM
AND TEMPS APPROACH THE MID 30S. LIKELY LOCATIONS FOR THIS WOULD BE
MVY/TAN/OWD AND NORTH-NORTHEAST ALONG THE I495 CORRIDOR. FLY IN THE
OINTMENT HERE WILL BE MODELS CONTINUE TO HINT AT OCEAN EFFECT
STRATO-CU MOVING ACROSS SOUTHEAST MA. GIVEN LOW LEVEL TRAJECTORY AND
STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES OVER THE OCEAN REMAIN UNCHANGED...AND
THE FACT THAT LOTS OF STRATO-CU ARE CURRENTLY OVER THE GULF OF ME
AND GEORGES BANK...OCCASIONALLY CLOUDINESS FOR SOUTHEAST MA SEEMS
REASONABLE. SO WILL FORECAST ONLY PATCHY FOG ACROSS EASTERN MA
TONIGHT.

ALSO PATCHY FOG LIKELY GIVEN CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...

AFTER A FROSTY START FOR MUCH OF THE REGION SAT MORNING...
TEMPERATURES WILL RECOVER NICELY WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS CLIMBING INTO
THE UPPER 60S AND LOW 70S...EXCEPT MID 60S ALONG THE IMMEDIATE
COAST. IT WILL LIKELY FEEL EVEN WARMER GIVEN THE LIGHT WINDS AND
ABUNDANT SUNSHINE. COULD HAVE SOME LEFTOVER STRATO-CU ACROSS THE
SOUTH COAST DURING THE MORNING...HOWEVER THE BULK OF THE CLOUD COVER
SHOULD REMAIN OFFSHORE IN NE GRADIENT FLOW.

BEACH FORECAST...DESPITE WINDS DIMINISHING THE OCEAN WILL REMAIN
ROUGH WITH 5 TO 8 FT SEAS SAT. SEAS WILL TRANSITION FROM WIND WAVES
TO SWELLS. THIS WILL LIKELY BE SUFFICIENT LEFTOVER WAVE ENERGY TO
YIELD ROUGH SURF AND STRONG RIP CURRENTS ACROSS EAST FACING OCEAN
EXPOSED BEACHES OF CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET. ALTHOUGH NOT AN IDEAL
BEACH DAY WITH AIR TEMPS ONLY 65-70...WATER TEMPS WILL BE JUST AS
WARM. THUS ANYONE HEADING INTO THE WATER SAT WILL ENCOUNTER ROUGH
SURF AND STRONG RIP CURRENTS.

SATURDAY NIGHT...AIRMASS CONTINUES TO MODIFY SO MIN TEMPS SHOULD BE
SEASONABLY COOL ALONG WITH DRY CONDITIONS AS SURFACE RIDGE REMAINS
OVER THE AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
STRONG AND PERSISTENT HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE OUR WEATHER FOR
MUCH OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. THERE MAY BE A FEW MINOR WRINKLES...BUT
GENERALLY FAIR WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH MOST OF THE PERIOD ALONG
WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

WARMEST DAY OF THE EXTENDED SHOULD BE SUNDAY AS WE HEAT UP A BIT
AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. THIS FRONT SHOULD COME THROUGH FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH DURING SUNDAY AFTERNOON. CAN/T RULE OUT A SHOWER WITH THIS
FEATURE...HOWEVER THE COLUMN LOOKS A BIT DRY SO DIDN/T GO ANY HIGHER
THAN SLIGHT CHANCE. BEST CHANCE OF A SHOWER WILL BE ACROSS NORTHERN
ZONES.

MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY WITH HIGH
AMOUNTS OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LINGERING BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. THIS
SHOULD MEAN MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES FOR BOTH THOSE PERIODS WITH A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF A SHOWER...OR MOST LIKELY SPOTTY DRIZZLE...ESPECIALLY
SOUTHERN ZONES. THERE MAY BE A SHARP LINE BETWEEN CLOUDY SKIES AND
CLEAR SKIES...WHICH MAY BE OVER NORTHERN MASS OR SOUTHERN NH. MAXES
SHOULD BE A GOOD 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL MONDAY.

STRONG HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BUILD SOUTHWARD INTO SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND MONDAY NIGHT. AS SUCH...CLEARING LOOKS TO OCCUR LATE MON
AFTERNOON OR MONDAY NIGHT FOR THOSE THAT SEE CLOUDS DURING THE DAY.

TUE THRU FRI LOOKS FAIR WITH SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONABLE TEMPS WITH
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING PARKED RIGHT OVERHEAD. ANY CHANCE OF MEASURABLE
RAINFALL LOOKS TO OCCUR AFTER THE FORECAST PERIOD.

&&
