AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
745 PM EDT SUN APR 13 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRES APPROACHING THE GREAT LAKES WILL CIRCULATE SEASONABLY COOL
WEATHER INTO NEW ENGLAND THROUGH TUE. BY WED...WARMING TREND SHOULD
START. HOWEVER...AN OFFSHORE STORM MAY GRAZE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
WITH SOME RAIN SHOWERS ON THURSDAY. AT THIS TIME...THE MAJORITY OF
THE WEEKEND LOOKS DRY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
CF GENERATED WDSPRD LIGHT SHOWERS HAVE SPUTTERED INTO CAA INSTABILITY
SHOWERS/SPRINKLES LATE THIS AFTN AND EVENING ASSTD WITH LARGE T1-T5
LAPSE RATES. MODELED MOS DEWPOINTS HAVE BEEN RATHER POOR TODAY /FAR
TOO LOW DURING THE DAY AND HAVE NOW MIXED DOWN AT 23Z/ BUT DURING THE
DAY THE FCSTD TOO LOW SFC TDS MAY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO UNDERFCSTG
MEASURABLE DURING THE MIDDAY HOURS.
GRIDS PFM/AFM HAVE JUST BEEN UPDATED FOR EVENING TRENDS IN SFC PARAMETERS
BUT OVERALL OVERNIGHT FCST REMAINS THE SAME.
IN ANY CASE...CLEARING SKIES SEEN IN NW MA AND SE NH AT 4PM SOON TO
OVERSPREAD REMAINDER SNE.
FCST RELIES ON 12Z GFS MAVMOS GUIDANCE MESHING WITH THE 4AM KBOX FCST.
NAM WINDS WERE USED FOR LATE THIS AFTN AS INITIAL CONDS GRADUALLY
BLENDED TO MAVMOS GUIDANCE.
GUSTS DERIVED FROM NAM MXG HTS BASED AND GFS GUST ALG.
SKYCOVER WAS MOS GUIDANCE MODIFIED HIGHER FOR LATE AFTN REALITY AND
THE TSECTION EMPHATIC SKYCVR SEEN ALONG THE S COAST THROUGH 08Z.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
MONDAY...GFS MAVMOS GUIDANCE WAS SEEN AS TOO HIGH FOR MONDAY...WITH A
529 1000-500K, AND -5 TO -6C AT 850. WE WILL MIX DEEP AND GUSTS MAY
BE UNDERDONE BY 4 KTS FOR MIDDAY MONDAY. NO MATTER ITS DIFFICULT TO
SEE BDL RISING PAST 55F MONDAY. ITS POSSIBLE THE WARMTH IS RELATED TO
A LACK OF SKYCOVER. WE DO EXPECT A BKN DECK AT 6000FT MON AFTN DUE TO
LEFTOVER COOL POOL ALOFT. THE RESULT: WE HUNG CLOSE TO THE 4AM FCST
TEMPS BUT RAISED THEM 1-2F 18Z-21Z.
MON NIGHT...NEW 12Z MAV MOS GUIDE MATCHED THE 4AM FCST FOR MON NIGHT
AND SO LITTLE IF ANY CHG. WE ADDED PATCHY 1F EEN-ORE BUT NOT
EXTENSIVE NOR LONG DURATION.
SUSTAINED WINDS THRUOUT THIS 24 HR PERIOD WERE GFS MOSGUIDE WITH
GUSTS DERIVED FROM NAM MXG HTS AND GFS GUST ALGORITHM.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE LOOKS TO DOMINATE TUE AND WED...WITH A WARMING TREND
TOWARD WED AS THE HIGH MODIFIES. SEABREEZES WED SHOULD KEEP TEMPS ON
THE COAST DOWN...BUT MID 60S IS A GOOD BET JUST INLAND. PRETTY DRAM
NEAR SKC BOTH TUE AND WED AS PER 12Z GFS OP RUN/ENSEMBLE AS WELL AS
12Z ECMWF.
LATER WED NIGHT AND THURS IS A BIT TRICKIER AS OFFSHORE LOW HAS AN
UNCERTAIN FUTURE TRACK. 12Z GFS/ENSEMBLE KEEP IT OFFSHORE...BUT 12Z
ECMWF HAS TRENDED WEST AND NOW HAS MEASURABLE RAIN AS FAR WEST AS ALB
THURS AND THURS NIGHT. WHILE THAT MAY BE OVERDONE...WE HAVE TO
PROTECT AGAINST A POSSIBLE WESTWARD TREND. HAVE THEREFORE FORECASTED
CLOUDIER CONDITIONS AT LEAST ACROSS THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE CWA
WITH A LOW CHANCE OF SHOWERS. WHERE IT DOESN/T RAIN...IT GETS WARM.
SYSTEM DEPARTS FRIDAY AND WE RESUME WARMTH AND SUN. MAY SEE AN INCR
CHANCE OF SHOWERS LATE IN THE WEEKEND.

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
TONIGHT THROUGH MON NIGHT...VFR.

TONIGHT AND TUE TO 20 KTS BUILDS SEAS ENOUGH TO KEEP EM AT 5 FT
CRITERIA. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE OUTER WATER HEADLINES FORESEEN EITHER
THIS EVENING OR EARLY MONDAY...POSSIBLY CONTG DURATION OF SCA INTO
MONDAY OR EVEN MON EVENING.
OUTLOOK FOR TUE NIGHT THROUGH FRI... RELATIVELY TRANQUIL WEATHER
EXPECTED THROUGH A GOOD PORTION OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST. ONE CAVEAT
IS HOW FAR WEST DOES OFFSHORE STORM GET ON THURS. THINKING THAT E/NE
SWELL TO 6 FT WILL DEFINITELY OCCUR ON THURS ACROSS THE OUTER
