AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
350 AM EST SAT NOV 15 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
WIND IS FEATURED THIS WEEKEND IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WITH EXCEEDINGLY
MILD AIR THROUGH THIS EVENING REPLACED BY MORE SEASONABLE COLD LATE
SUNDAY. LOW PRES IN WEST VIRGINIA THIS MORNING WILL INTENSIFY AS IT
CROSSES NEW YORK STATE LATE TODAY AND MOVES INTO QUEBEC SUNDAY SWEEPING
A COLD FRONT ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND LATE TONIGHT. A STRONGER COLD
FRONT CROSSES THE REGION MON WITH LOW PRES FORMING SOUTHEAST OF CAPE
COD TUE DRAWING UNSEASONABLY COLD AIR INTO OUR AREA FOR MUCH OF THE
REST OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
HEAVY SHOWERS AND ISOLATED TSTMS WILL CROSS SNE THIS MORNING AT THE
NOSE OF THE DEVELOPING LLJ. RADAR NOW IN SUMMER DEEP CONVECTIVE ZR
RELATIONSHIP.  T FCST BASED ON GFS SWI AND NGM BEST LI.

THIS AFTERNOON...AXIS OF INSTABILITY PUSHES N AND REALIGNS W OF OUR
CWA AND BELIEVE SHOWERS WILL BECOME SCT AS TEMPS SOAR ON GUSTY SSW
WINDS.

WIND ADVY POSTED FOR SUSTAINED NR 27 KTS BY MID OR LATE AFTN.

TEMPS WERE INCREASED ABV AVBL MOS GUIDANCE...ESP INTERIOR.

GUSTS WERE INCREASED ABV AVBL BUFKIT/MOSGUIDE AND GUST ALG INFO...
WARMER SFC TEMPS MAY DO THE TRICK. LESS CERTAINTY IN THE FCST ABOUT
GUSTS EXCEEDING 39 KTS.

AREA OF WIND ADVY MAY NEED EXPANSION TO ALL OF MASS IN THE AFTN ISSUANCES
DEPENDENT ION NEW MODEL GUIDANCE AND REALITY.

LAPSE RATE MARGINAL AND PRES FALLS AFTER THIS MORNING HOLD OFF TIL
TONIGHT WHEN I THINK THE BIGGEST BURST OF WIND WILL OCCUR.

WE WILL PROB NEED AN URBAN SMALL STREAM FLOOD STATEMENT AROUND 5AM AS
SOON AS WE PEG BEST AREA FOR .5 TO 1.5 INCHES OF RAIN IN A 3 HR
PERIOD THIS MORNING. SREF SAYS S COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
DONT HAVE MUCH PROB OF THUNDER TONIGHT AS SWI WARMS AND NGM HOLDS
BEST LI TO OUR WEST. HOWEVER...HEAVY SHOWERS WILL OCCUR AHD OF THE
FRONT...ESPECIALLY MASS COAST LATE TONIGHT.

CONCEIVABLE SOME LOCATIONS WILL HAVE A 6 HR BREAK IN SHOWERS THIS
AFTN/EVE IN WARM WINDY CONDITIONS.

WIND ADVY VERF SEEMS MORE SUITED FOR BOS-BID CORRIDOR EWD PER SREF
PROBS FOR 25 KT SUSTAINED AND BETTER PRES FALLS TONIGHT AS WELL AS
STRONGER LLJ. ELEVATIONS EITHER SIDE OF TH CT RVR VALLEY MAY HAVE
PROBLEMS TONIGHT...AND SREF INDICATOR IS A LOW PROB OF 25 KT
SUSTAINED.

FLOOD ADVISORY FOR URBAN POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING POTENTIAL TONIGHT...
SEEMS MOST LIKELY FOR MASS COAST...IF AT ALL.

SUNDAY...LEFTOVER MORNING SHOWERS ...THEN A SURGE OF DRY COLD
ADVECTION DURING THE MID AND LATE AFTERNOON MAY PROMPT A BRIEF WIND
ADVY SITUATION FOR MQE AS WELL AS ACK AND CAPE COD.

RECORD WARM MINS FOR THE 15TH  /LISTED ONLY POTENTIALS/

ORH 53 1989 THIS WILL BE A LIKELY RER FOR NOV 15.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SUNDAY NIGHT...GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS
ESPECIALLY DURING THE EVENING HOURS.  WINDS SHOULD DIE DOWN LATE.
OTHERWISE...MOSTLY CLEARING SKIES WITH LOWS RANGING FROM THE UPPER
20S TO THE MID 30S.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...A BROAD TROUGH STRETCHED ACROSS THE
NORTHEASTERN U.S. MONDAY WILL DEEPEN TUESDAY.  LOW PRESSURE WILL
MOVE QUICKLY FROM THE GREAT LAKES INTO THE COASTAL WATERS AND DEEPEN
INTO AN OCEAN STORM TUESDAY.  CONTINUED LOW END CHANCE POPS FOR
MONDAY AND TUESDAY.  WHILE 1000-500MB THICKNESSES ARE PLENTY COLD
ENOUGH FOR SNOW...BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURES REMAIN TOO WARM DURING
THE DAY.  SO OVERALL THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR SOME SNOW OVERNIGHT
MONDAY AND TUESDAY BUT OTHERWISE RAIN.  MODELS ARE PREDICTING THAT
THE OCEAN STORM WILL REMAIN ANYWHERE FROM 200 TO 400 MILES SOUTHEAST
OF NANTUCKET.  DEPENDING ON THE ACTUAL PROXIMITY OF THE STORM...THE
CAPE AND ISLANDS COULD SEE SOME STEADIER OCEAN EFFECT PRECIPITATION.

CONTINUED COLD ADVECTION COUPLED WITH LOW THICKNESSES WILL KEEP
TEMPERATURES WELL BELOW NORMAL.  EXPECT HIGHS IN THE MID 40S MONDAY
DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 30S TO LOW 40S ON TUESDAY.  GUSTY WINDS ARE
POSSIBLE ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS TUESDAY.  EXACT STRENGTH OF THESE
WINDS WILL DEPEND ON THE PROXIMITY OF THE OCEAN STORM.  BECAUSE OF
THIS IT IS TOO SOON TO SAY WHETHER ADVISORY CRITERIA WILL BE MET.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...A PERSISTENT UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND FALLING
THICKNESSES WILL KEEP COLD AIR IN PLACE.  850MB TEMPS WILL RANGE
FROM -10 TO -15C.  COUPLED WITH 1000-500MB THICKNESSES BETWEEN 515
AND 520DM...TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL BELOW NORMAL.  HIGH TEMPS WILL
RANGE FROM THE MID 30S TO AROUND 40 DEGREES.  WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY
COULD FEEL ESPECIALLY CHILLY WITH WINDS GUSTING UP TO 20KTS.  DRY
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
