AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
557 PM EST SAT MAR 8 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A POWERFUL STORM WILL TRACK ACROSS EASTERN NEW YORK AND INTO
NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND THROUGH TONIGHT...BRINGING HEAVY RAIN TO THE
REGION ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO DAMAGING WINDS.
BLUSTERY WESTERLY FLOW SUN AS THE STORM MOVES THROUGH THE MARITIMES.
A SERIES OF WEAK DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE THROUGH DURING EARLY TO
MIDWEEK...BUT MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL. A MORE SIGNIFICANT
PRECIPITATION EVENT MAY OCCUR LATE FRI INTO SAT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
WARM FRONT IS MOVING THROUGH EASTERN CONNECTICUT...RHODE ISLAND AND
SOUTHEAST MA THIS EVENING.  TEMPERATURES ARE RISING 20 TO 25 DEGREES IN
MINUTES AS THAT WARM FRONT GOES THROUGH.  WE EXPECT THIS WARM FRONT
TO LIFT NORTH INTO MUCH OF CONNECTICUT...RHODE ISLAND AND MAYBE
CLOSE TO THE MA TURNPIKE PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE EASTERN PART OF THE
STATE.  WHERE THE FRONT GOES THROUGH TEMPERATURES WILL QUICKLY SOAR
INTO THE LOWER 60S AND HAVE SHOWN THAT IN OUR GRAPHICAL HOURLY
FORECAST PRODUCT.  COLDER AIR WORKS BACK INTO THE REGION LATER
TONIGHT.  LEFT OVER STANDING WATER WILL FREEZE TO THE NORTHWEST OF A
BOSTON TO PROVIDENCE LINE.

WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO OCCASIONALLY HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND EARLY THIS EVENING WITH A FEW EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS.  NUMEROUS FLOOD WARNINGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR BOTH
URBAN AND SMALL STREAM/RIVER FLOODING.  THE HEAVY RAIN WILL QUICKLY
TAPER OFF TO SHOWERS BETWEEN 7 AND 9 PM FROM WEST TO EAST AND
SHOULD PRETTY MUCH BE OVER ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION BY MIDNIGHT.  IT
MAY END AS A FEW SNOW FLURRIES OR PERHAPS A SNOW SHOWER ACROSS FAR
NORTHWEST MA/SOUTHWEST NH BUT LITTLE IF ANY ACCUMULATIONS ARE
EXPECTED.

OTHERWISE...THE MAIN CONCERNS THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS WILL
REVOLVE AROUND HEAVY RAIN/FLOODING...CONVECTION AS WELL AS VERY
STRONG WINDS AND PERHAPS EVEN SOME COASTAL FLOODING.  WE WILL GO
THROUGH EACH HAZARD AND GIVE OUR THOUGHTS ON WHAT WE EXPECT TO
HAPPEN.

STRONG WINDS...
WE UPGRADED THE HIGH WIND WATCH TO A WARNING FOR THIS EVENING INTO
TONIGHT FOR THE SOUTH COASTS.  WE ALSO ADDED A WIND ADVISORY ACROSS THE
REST OF THE REGION MAINLY FOR LATE TONIGHT INTO THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS ON SUNDAY.

IT APPEARS THAT THERE WILL BE TWO OPPORTUNITIES FOR STRONG TO
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ACROSS THE SOUTH COAST/CAPE/ISLANDS.  THE FIRST
WILL OCCUR EARLY THIS EVENING.  THE MODELS SHOW A LINE OF HEAVY
SHOWERS AND PROBABLY A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS.  THE GFS BUFKIT
SHOWS 60 TO 70 KNOTS OF WIND ACROSS THIS REGION JUST 500 FEET TO
1000 FEET OFF THE GROUND.  WITH CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS EXPECTED IN THE
SHIELD OF HEAVY RAIN FEEL THAT THERE IS A THREAT FOR BRIEF STRONG
WINDS ACROSS THIS REGION.  THE BEST CHANCE FOR THIS WILL BE BETWEEN
6 PM AND 8 PM AS THE COLD FRONT CROSSES THE REGION.

IN ADDITION...THERE IS A SECOND OPPORTUNITY ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION FOR
STRONG TO DAMAGING WINDS LATE TONIGHT IN THE COLD AIR ADVECTION
PATTERN BEHIND THE SYSTEM.  WE HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE IN THIS SINCE IT
WILL BE MORE SYNOPTICALLY DRIVEN AND FOR A LONGER DURATION.

BOTH GFS/NAM BUFKIT INDICATE 50 TO 55 KNOT WIND GUST POTENTIAL FOR
PORTIONS OF THE SOUTH COAST/CAPE/ISLANDS.  WHETHER ARE NOT WE REACH
EXACT HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA IS NOT THAT IMPORTANT...BUT FEEL
THAT WITH THE VERY WET GROUND THERE IS A ENHANCED RISK FOR TREE
DAMAGE. WE HAVE ALSO ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE REST OF THE
REGION MAINLY FOR LATE TONIGHT.  THIS IN RESPONSE TO COLDER AIR
ALLOWING STRONGER WINDS TO MIX DOWN LATE TONIGHT.  GFS/NAM BUFKIT
ARE BOTH SHOWING 40 TO 45 KNOT WIND GUSTS POTENTIAL.  IT IS SOMEWHAT
UNUSUAL TO GET SUCH STRONG WINDS OVERNIGHT...BUT THIS IS SUCH A
DYNAMICAL SYSTEM WITH VERY STRONG WINDS ALOFT.

ALL IN ALL...THE WIND DAMAGE POTENTIAL IS ENHANCED BECAUSE OF THE
VERY WET AND SATURATED GROUND.  THIS MAKES IT EASIER FOR TREE DAMAGE
SO WE WILL HAVE TO MONITOR CLOSELY.

CONVECTION...
LATEST RADAR IMAGERY APPEARS TO BE SHOWING THE BEGINNING OF A FINE
LINE OF HEAVY SHOWERS AND A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS IN ASSOCIATION
WITH THE COLD FRONT.  THIS SEEMS VERY REASONABLE BASED ON THE MODELS
SHOWING THE LOW LEVEL JET INCREASING TO ABOUT 90 KNOTS BY EARLY
EVENING OVER THE SOUTH COAST.  LATEST NAM SHOWS SHOWALTER INDICES
DROPPING BELOW ZERO TO THE SOUTH OF THE MA PIKE OVER THIS TIME
RANGE.  IN ADDITION...NGM SHOWS A BAND OF SUBZERO LIFTED INDICES
APPROACHING OUR REGION WHICH IS KNOWN TO BE ONE OF THE BEST
INDICATORS FOR THUNDER.  TREMENDOUS LIFT AND FORCING ALSO NORMALLY
BRING IN THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDER WITHIN THE AXIS OF VERY HEAVY
RAIN SHOWERS.  THE BEST CHANCE FOR THIS WILL BE BETWEEN 5 PM AND 8
PM SOUTH OF THE MA PIKE AS A STRONG COLD FRONT CROSSES THE REGION.
THERE MAY BE AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM THROUGH EVEN TO THE NORTH OF
THE MA TURNPIKE WITH SUCH STRONG LIFT.

COASTAL FLOODING...
WE ARE NOT EXPECTING SIGNIFICANT COASTAL FLOODING WITH THIS SYSTEM.
HOWEVER...STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS MAY RESULT IN MINOR COASTAL
FLOODING/SPLASHOVER ALONG THE SOUTH COASTS AT THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE
TONIGHT.  WE DID GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY FOR THE
SOUTH COASTS OF BOTH RHODE ISLAND AND SOUTHERN MASSACHUSETTS.  THE
BEST CHANCE FOR THIS WILL BE AREAS ADJACENT TO NARRAGANSETT AND
BUZZARDS BAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
A PARTLY SUNNY...CHILLY AND WINDY DAY ON TAP FOR SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND.  WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF COLD AIR ALOFT MOVING OVERHEAD FEEL
WILL HAVE SOME SCATTERED TO BROKEN DIURNAL CUMULUS
CLOUDS...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE INTERIOR.  SIDED WITH THE COOLER
MET GUIDANCE AS HIGHS ACROSS MUCH OF THE INTERIOR SHOULD TOP OUT IN
THE 30S...WITH READINGS BETWEEN 40 AND 45 ON THE COASTAL PLAIN.

LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO EXTEND THE WIND ADVISORY INTO PART OF THE
MORNING...BUT WILL DEFER THAT TO THE NEXT SHIFTS.  EITHER WAY...IT
WILL BE A WINDY DAY ON SUNDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
BRISK NW FLOW SUN EVENING WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH OVERNIGHT AS
GRADIENT RELAXES A BIT.  IT WILL BE DRY AND COLD WITH CLEARING SKIES
AND LOW TEMPS IN THE TEENS...EXCEPT LOW 20S NEAR THE COAST.

MON...MODELS INDICATE A SHEAR VORTICITY AXIS ACROSS THE REGION
NORTH OF UPPER LEVEL JET...WHICH INDUCES A SFC TROF OVER SNE.
AIRMASS IS QUITE DRY WITH SFC HIGH TO THE WEST AND SO WE EXPECT
MOSUNNY SKIES AS RH CROSS SECTIONS ARE DRY.  IT WILL BE A CHILLY DAY
WITH 850 MB TEMPS AROUND -12C...TRANSLATING TO MAXES 30-32 NW HIGHER
TERRAIN AND MID/UPPER 30S SOUTH OF THE PIKE WHICH IS 5-8 DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL

A WEAK SHORTWAVE IN NW FLOW WILL MOVE SWD ACROSS REGION LATE MON NGT
WITH SFC TROF OR WEAK WAVE TO THE SOUTH.  MOISTURE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN SOUTH OF NEW ENG SO IT SHOULD REMAIN DRY WITH MOCLEAR SKIES.

TUE...WEAK SFC RIDGE WILL REMAIN JUST TO THE WEST PROVIDING ANOTHER
DAY WITH SUNSHINE AND MODERATING TEMPS AS 850 MB TEMPS RISE TO -8C.
TEMPS WILL BE CLOSE TO NORMAL WITH READINGS MID/UPPER 30S NW HIGHER
TERRAIN AND LOW TO MID 40S ELSEWHERE.

TUE NGT/WED...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE IN NW FLOW EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS
THE REGION.  ECMWF IS CONSIDERABLY FASTER THAN GFS WITH TIMING LATE
TUE NIGHT/EARLY WED...WHILE GFS CLOSER TO LATE WED.  CLOUDS WILL
INCREASE AHEAD OF THIS SHORTWAVE AND CANT RULE OUT A FEW RAIN/SNOW
SHOWERS...BUT TIMING NOT CERTAIN.   NO MENTION IN ZFP TEXT...BUT
GRIDS WILL REFLECT SLIGHT CHC POPS.

THU...SFC RIDGE AXIS OVER NEW ENG WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT EWD THROUGH
THU NIGHT WITH SW FLOW DEVELOPING AND MILDER TEMPS.  GFS IS QUICKER
WITH SW FLOW DEVELOPING AND AS A RESULT IS INDICATING TEMPS INTO THE
UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S ON THU.  HOWEVER...TEMPS MAY END UP COOLER IF
SLOWER ECMWF/UKMET IS CORRECT.

MODEL SPREAD INCREASES FRI/SAT REGARDING A POTENTIAL COASTAL STORM.
COLD FRONT ASSOCD WITH NORTHERN STREAM WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST
ON FRI WITH INCREASING CHANCE OF SHOWERS.

GFS EVENTUALLY TRIES TO PHASE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STREAMS
RESULTING IN A STRONG LOW TRACKING INLAND OVER SNE FRI NIGHT INTO
EARLY SAT.  ECMWF MAINTAINS TWO SEPARATE SHORTWAVES WITH A WEAKER
SOUTHERN STREAM COASTAL LOW EVENTUALLY DEVELOPING SOUTH OF NEW ENG
LATE FRI OR SAT.  ALSO LOTS OF SPREAD AMONG GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS.
CONFIDENCE IN ANY ONE SOLUTION IS VERY LOW THIS FAR OUT AND
UNCERTAINY IS LARGE SO WE JUST MENTIONED CHC RAIN OR SNOW FOR FRI
NIGHT/SAT.
