AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
327 PM EST WED NOV 5 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WILL SLOWLY MOVE NORTHWARD
TONIGHT SPREADING RAIN THROUGHOUT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THE RAIN WILL
BECOME SHOWERY FOR THURSDAY...BUT SOME SHOWERS OR DRIZZLE MAY LINGER
INTO FRIDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH SATURDAY WITH A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS. COOLER BUT MOSTLY FAIR WEATHER LOOKS TO RETURN FOR SUNDAY
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
STRONG COASTAL LOW PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE NEAR CAPE HATTERAS WILL
SLOWLY MOVE NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT. A STRONG EASTERLY LOW LEVEL JET WILL
DEVELOP THIS EVENING IN ADVANCE OF THE SURFACE LOW AND THIS WILL AID
IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A RAPIDLY NORTHWARD MOVING SHIELD OF RAIN THAT
WILL FIRST AFFECT THE SOUTH COAST EARLY...THEN QUICKLY MOVE NORTHWARD
TO THE REST OF THE CWA AS THE EVENING/EARLY OVERNIGHT PROGRESSES.
WENT WITH CAT POPS EVERYWHERE EXCEPT FOR THE EXTREME NORTHWEST CORNER
OF THE CWA. THE RAIN MAY BE HEAVY AT TIMES AND MAY AMOUNT TO OVER AN
INCH IN SOME AREAS...MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA. IT
MAY GET JUST UNSTABLE ENOUGH FOR ISOLD THUNDER AS WELL...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE SOUTH COAST. SOME URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING WILL BE
POSSIBLE.

WINDS MAY HAVE A BRIEF OPPORTUNITY TO REACH MINIMAL WIND ADVISORY
CRITERIA EARLY TONIGHT ACROSS THE CAPE AND ISLANDS AND A PORTION OF
THE IMMEDIATE SOUTH COAST. HOWEVER...THE THREAT LOOKS TOO MARGINAL AT
THIS TIME TO HOIST ANY WIND HEADLINES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
THE MAIN SOURCE OF ASCENT WILL WEAKEN AND MOVE NORTHEAST AS THE LOW
BECOMES VERTICALLY STACKED. THIS WILL ALLOW THE HEAVIEST PRECIP TO
MOVE OUT OF THE CWA BY EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. HOWEVER...QUITE A BIT
OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN...ALONG WITH SOME UPPER SUPPORT
FROM THE NEARBY UPPER LOW...SO CHANCE/LIKELY SHOWERS AND/OR DRIZZLE
LOOKS TO BE THE RULE...ALONG WITH OVERCAST CONDITIONS. TEMPS LOOK TO
RUN RIGHT AROUND NORMAL.

NOT MUCH CHANCE IN THE FORECAST FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AS STACKED LOW
MEANDERS NEARBY. LOOKS LIKE CLOUDY SKIES...SOME SPOTTY
SHOWERS...DRIZZLE AND FOG.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
UPPER LOW MOVING EAST FROM MIDWEST WILL ACT AS A KICKER TO PUSH
COASTAL LOW EWD OUT TO SEA DURING FRI.  MODELS INDICATE SOME MID
LEVEL DRYING ON FRI...BUT CROSS SECTIONS SHOW ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WHICH SHOULD HOLD LOW LOW CLOUDS IN PLACE...AND MAY ALSO
HAVE A BRIEF SHOWER OR PATCHY DRIZZLE.  IF THERE WAS ANY SUNSHINE
FRI TEMPS WOULD APPROACH 70 DEGREES...BUT CLOUD COVER SHOULD HOLD
TEMPS IN THE 60-65 DEGREE RANGE...STILL ABOUT 10 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL.

UPPER LOW MOVES EWD THROUGH THE GT LAKES FRI NIGHT AND SAT AND
SWINGS COLD FRONT INTO SNE LATE SAT AND SAT EVENING.  WARM
FRONT DEVELOPING TO THE SOUTH MAY PRODUCE A FEW SHOWERS FRI
NIGHT...WITH A MORE ORGANIZED LINE OF SHOWERS MORE LIKELY SAT
AFTERNOON INTO SAT EVENING WITH FRONT.  BASED ON TIMING OF
FRONT...BEST CHC OF SHOWERS SAT WILL BE IN THE INTERIOR SHIFTING EWD
INTO THE COASTAL PLAIN SAT EVENING.  GRIDS WILL HAVE LIKELY POPS IN
THE NW ON SAT...WITH CHC ELSEWHERE THEN CHC ALL ZONES SAT NIGHT WITH
DECREASING POPS OVERNIGHT AS FRONT MOVES EWD.

SUN SHOULD BE MAINLY DRY IN POST FRONTAL AIRMASS BUT THERE COULD BE
A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS ON THE CAPE/ISLANDS IN THE MORNING AS FRONT
MAY STILL BE INVOF CAPE COD 12Z SUN.  COOLER TEMPS BUT STILL ABIVE
NORMAL WITH EXPECTED MAXES IN THE 50S.

NEXT SHORTWAVE ROTATING AROUND UPPER LOW AND ASOCD COLD POOL ALOFT
WILL MOVE TO THE NORTH MON/MON NIGHT AND MAY BRING A FEW SHOWERS TO
SNE...ESPECIALLY NW ZONES CLOSEST TO COLD POOL.  OTHERWISE...PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES.  PTYPE WOULD TRANSITION TO SNOW SHOWERS MON NGT.
TEMPS MON WILL COOL OFF TO MORE SEASONABLE LEVELS.

TUE LOOKS DRY WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPS WITH HIGH PRES IN
CONTROL...THEN GFS/ECMWF DIFFER ON WED.  GFS HAS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE
MOVING THROUGH WITH WEAK COASTAL LOW TO THE SOUTH POSSIBLY BRINGING
SOME PRECIP TO SNE...AND IS SUPPORTED BY MANY ENSEMBLE MEMBERS.
ECMWF HAS MORE UPPER LEVEL CONFLUENCE WITH HIGH PRES REMAINING IN
CONTROL.  WE FOLLOWED HPC AND HAVE LOW CHC POPS FOR WED...BUT
CONFIDENCE IS LOW.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL BECOME MVFR THEN IFR AT MOST TERMINALS AS THE
EVENING PROGRESSES AS A COASTAL STORM MOVES NORTHWARD. RAIN MAY BE
HEAVY AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY THROUGH 07-08Z OR SO. IFR CONDITIONS LOOK
TO PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THURSDAY WITH A LOT OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
LINGERING. CONDITIONS DO NOT LOOK TO IMPROVE MUCH FOR THURSDAY NIGHT
AS LOW CLOUDS...DRIZZLE...FOG MAY BE PREVALENT.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

MVFR-IFR CIGS FRI/FRI NIGHT ALONG WITH PATCHY DRIZLLE AND FOG.

SAT/SAT NIGHT...MORE MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS IN LOW CLOUDS WITH SCT
SHOWERS MOVING WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE REGION.

SUN/MON...CONDITIONS IMPROVE TO VFR SUN AND PERSIST INTO MON.

&&

.MARINE...
LOW PRESSURE NEAR CAPE HATTERAS WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY MOVE
NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR AN INCREASE IN EASTERLY FLOW
THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE GRADIENT AND LOW
LEVEL JET WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR MARGINAL GALES ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN AND SOUTHEASTERN OUTER WATERS TONIGHT. THEREFORE...GALE
WARNINGS HAVE BEEN POSTED. SEAS ON THE OUTER WATERS MAY BUILD UP TO
15 FT BY LATE TONIGHT. THE GRADIENT SLACKENS LATE TONIGHT AND
THURSDAY WHICH WILL ALLOW THE WINDS TO DIMINISH...HOWEVER...MARGINAL
SMALL CRAFT WINDS AND ESPECIALLY SEAS ARE EXPECTED.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

NORTH WINDS DIMINISHING ON FRI WITH LIGHT WINDS FRI NIGHT BUT SEAS
WILL REMAIN ABOVE SCA THRESHOLDS ON THE OUTER WATERS.

PREFRONTAL SOUTHERLY WINDS DEVELOP SAT AND MODEST LOW LEVEL JET MAY
BRING A FEW G25 KTS LATE SAT AND SAT EVENING...THEN BECOMING WEST
LATE SAT NIGHT AND SUN WITH SOME G25 KTS SUN.

WEST WINDS 15-25 KTS PERSIST SUN NGT INTO MON.
