AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
207 PM EDT SAT SEP 27 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE MID ATLANTIC STATES COMBINED WITH THE BERMUDA
HIGH CONTINUES A TROPICAL CONVEYOR BELT OF MOISTURE INTO SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND...YIELDING A PERIOD OF VERY HEAVY RAIN THIS AFTERNOON
OR TONIGHT AS PRECURSOR EVENT TO THE NEARBY PASSAGE OF TROPICAL STORM
KYLE. KYLE IS EXPECTED TO PASS EAST OF NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY...POSSIBLY
BRINGING A PERIOD OF STRONG WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN TO CAPE COD NANTUCKET
AND THE OUTER MASSACHUSETTS COASTAL WATERS. FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION ON
KYLE...VISIT THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER WEBSITE FOR DETAILS AS WELL
AS NWS TAUNTON HURRICANE LOCAL STATEMENTS ISSUED THIS AFTERNOON. DRY
AND SEASONABLE WEATHER WILL RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH THE NEXT
CHANCE OF RAIN ARRIVING AROUND MID WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
MODEL FEEL IS STILL NOT GOOD THIS MORNING... ALL MODELS TENDING TO
STRUGGLE AT 930AM ANALYSIS. WE ARE GOING TO WING IT A BIT WITH TPC
GUIDANCE ON KYLE ITSELF. WE MAY BE HEADED FOR A PRE EVENT TONIGHT
ALONG THE I 95 CORRIDOR.

NOT MUCH RAIN FELL ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT WITH A LONG LULL IN
THE ACTIVITY. AS IS TYPICALLY THE CASE...ONCE WE ENTERED THE WARM
SECTOR THE PRECIPITATION SHIELD BECAME SHOWERY IN NATURE AND THE
MODELS TEND TO STRUGGLE WHERE AND WHEN IT WILL OCCUR.

NONETHELESS...MODELS INDICATE THAT ANOTHER GOOD PULSE OF HEAVY RAIN
WILL BE MOVING INTO THE REGION LATER THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON.
THERE IS ANOTHER GOOD SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED IN MERIDIONAL FLOW WHICH
WILL INTERACT WITH AN INVERTED TROUGH.  THE GFS HAS VERY INTENSE
LIFT MOVING NORTHWARD ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON.  THIS
COMBINED WITH PWATS OVER 2 INCHES HAVE THE INGREDIENTS FOR MORE
HEAVY RAIN.  RADAR IMAGERY ALSO SHOWS THE BEGINNING OF THIS ACTIVITY
OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST.  THEREFORE...WILL BRING POPS BACKUP TO
CATEGORICAL LATER THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON.  RAINFALL AMOUNTS MAY
VARY CONSIDERABLY ACROSS THE REGION SINCE WE WILL BE ENTERING THE
WARM SECTOR AND THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE MORE SHOWERY. HOWEVER...WITH
INTENSE FORCING AND HIGH PWATS POCKETS OF TORRENTIAL RAINFALL ARE
EXPECTED. WE EXPECT AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN WITH LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. ITS ALWAYS TOUGH TO PINPOINT WHERE THE
HEAVIEST AXIS OF RAIN WILL SETUP IN THESE SITUATIONS. IT DOES LOOK
LIKE EASTERN MA/RHODE ISLAND IN THE STRONGEST LIFT AND STAND THE BEST
CHANCE OF SEEING THE HEAVIEST RAIN. WE WILL HAVE TO BE CONCERNED WITH
URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING SO THE FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES.
INDICES ARE MARGINAL...BUT WILL INCLUDE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDER
THIS AFTERNOON BUT NOTHING WIDESPREAD IS EXPECTED.

AS FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES...SINCE WE SHOULD ENTER THE WARM SECTOR
EXPECT THEM TO REACH MAINLY INTO THE LOWER 70S.  DEWPOINTS WILL BE
MUCH HIGHER THAN YESTERDAY SO IT WILL FEEL MUGGY.

IN ADDITION...THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY CONTINUES TODAY FOR HIGH SURF
AND DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS ACROSS THE SOUTH COAST...CAPE AND ISLANDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
TONIGHT...
POSSIBLE PRE EVENT.

THE BAND OF HEAVY RAIN SHOULD BEGIN TO LIFT TO OUR NORTH EARLY IN
THE EVENING.  IT LOOKS LIKE WE MAY ENTER ANOTHER LULL IN THE
ACTIVITY AS THE STEADY PRECIPITATION EXITS OUR REGION.
HOWEVER...THE ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN JUICED SO SCATTERED SHOWERS MAY
POPUP JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE ALONG WITH FOG PATCHES.  LOW TEMPERATURES
SHOULD REMAIN MILD WITH CLOUD COVER AND HIGH DEWPOINTS IN PLACE.
EXPECT LOWS TO RANGE FROM BETWEEN 60 AND 65.

SUNDAY...

A HIGHLY UNCERTAIN AND LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST EXISTS SUNDAY MORNING
INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON.  WE WILL BE WATCHING TROPICAL STORM KYLE
WHICH ALL MODELS HAVE PASSING 50 TO 80 MILES EAST OF THE CAPE AND
ISLANDS.  LATEST HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT MEASUREMENTS ARE THAT ALL
THE WINDS ARE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE STORM.  THIS IS OFTEN THE CASE
WHEN TROPICAL SYSTEMS EVENTUALLY MAKE IT UP TO OUR LATITUDE.

THERE IS CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCES IN THE 00Z SUITE OF MODEL DATA
AND IMPACTS ACROSS OUR REGION.  THE 00Z GFS/CANADIAN MODELS ARE THE
MOST AGGRESSIVE AND EVENTUALLY TRIES TO WRAP IN SOME STRONG WINDS ON
THE WEST SIDE OF THE STORM.  THESE MODELS SHOW THE POTENTIAL FOR
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WIND GUSTS ACROSS THE OUTER-CAPE AND
NANTUCKET.  HOWEVER...THE UKMET/NAM ARE A BIT FURTHER EAST AND MUCH
WEAKER ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE SYSTEM.  THIS WOULD MEAN NOT MUCH
WIND FOR ANY OF OUR REGION.  THE LATEST ECMWF MODEL IS SOMEWHAT IN
BETWEEN BUT DOES SHOW THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME BRIEF TROPICAL STORM
WINDS ACROSS THE OUTER-CAPE AND NANTUCKET.

ALL IN ALL...IF KYLE IS ABLE TO FORM WINDS ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF
THE STORM LIKE SOME OF THE MODELS HINT AT...WE COULD SEE A FEW HOURS
OF TROPICAL STORM FORCE WIND GUSTS ON THE OUTER-CAPE AND NANTUCKET.
WILL HAVE TO SEE WHAT THE 12Z MODELS SHOW AND IF THEY TRACK THE
SYSTEM A BIT CLOSER OR FARTHER FROM THE COAST.

AS FOR THE RAIN...WE MAY SEE SEVERAL HOURS OF HEAVY RAIN ALONG THE
COAST DEPENDING ON THE TRACK OF THE SYSTEM.  HOWEVER...WE DO NOT
EXPECT THE STEADY RAIN TO MAKE IT THAT FAR INLAND ON SUNDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT EARLY THIS PERIOD WITH KYLE EXITING THE EASTERN
NEW ENGLAND WATERS SUNDAY EVENING. HOWEVER...A CHANCE OF SHOWERS
WILL LINGER SUN NIGHT AND INTO EARLY MON...AS MID LEVEL TROF AND
ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT MOVE ACROSS THE REGION DURING THIS
TIME. BY MON AFTERNOON GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT THAT MEAN TROF AXIS AND
ASSOCIATED DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WILL BE OFFSHORE. THUS...DRY WEATHER
SHOULD RETURN TO THE REGION MON AFTERNOON. THIS DRY WEATHER AND
SEASONABLE TEMPS SHOULD LINGER INTO TUE AS SHORT WAVE RIDGING
DEVELOPS OVER THE REGION AHEAD OF NEXT TROF ENTERING THE GREAT
LAKES.

00Z MODEL GUIDANCE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE ARRIVAL OF OCTOBER
WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A HIGHLY AMPLIFIED PATTERN MID TO LATE NEXT
WEEK...WITH A LONG WAVE TROF SETTING UP ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. GOOD
MODEL AGREEMENT ON THE TIMING OF THE LEAD SHORT WAVE AND ASSOCIATED
COLD FRONT TO ARRIVE HERE IN THE TUE NIGHT - WED TIME FRAME.
THEREFORE...ABOVE AVERAGE CONFIDENCE ON A CHANCE OF SHOWERS HERE TUE
NIGHT INTO WED. THEREAFTER...MODELS DISAGREE ON THE TIMING AND
AMPLITUDE OF THE NEXT SHORT WAVE ROTATING THROUGH THE NORTHEAST
MEAN MID LEVEL TROF. HOWEVER THE OVERALL LARGE SCALE FLOW ACROSS NEW
ENGLAND THU AND FRI WILL BE A COOL AND UNSTABLE CYCLONIC FLOW. SO
EXPECTING MAINLY DRY WEATHER THU AND FRI WITH ISOLATED DIURNAL SHOWER
GIVEN COLD AIR ALOFT WITH MID LEVEL TROF OVERHEAD. COOLER THAN
NORMAL TEMPS EXPECTED AS BOTH 00Z GFS/ECMWF AND 00Z ENSEMBLES
SUGGEST 850 TEMPS COOLING TO ABOUT +4C THU AND THEN DOWN TO +2C FRI
THEREFORE THE HIGHER TERRAIN MAY ONLY SEE HIGHS FRI IN THE 50S

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
WIDESPREAD IFR CONDITIONS PERSISTING TONIGHT INTO SUN...POSSIBLY
IMPROVING TO MVFR/VFR CT VALLEY SUN AFTERNOON.

PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE...HEAVIEST LIKELY TONIGHT ACROSS
EASTERN MA AND RI EXTENDING NWD INTO SE NH. LOW PROB OF TSTM
ALTHOUGH INDICES ARE MARGINAL AT BEST.

WIND GUSTS MAY BRIEFLY APPROACH TROPICAL STORM FORCE ON OUTER CAPE
AND ACK SUN MORNING AS KYLE MAKES HIS CLOSEST APPROACH.
ELSEWHERE...NO WIND PROBLEMS ANTICIAPTED.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SUNDAY NIGHT...IFR CIGS LIKELY. SCATTERED SHOWERS.

MONDAY...IFR/MVFR CIGS IN THE MORNING SHOULD LIFT TO A BKN DECK OF
MVFR/VFR. SCATTERED SHOWERS EARLY BOS-PVD-HYA-ACK.

TUESDAY...VFR WITH MVFR IN SCATTERED SHOWERS POSSIBLE LATE TUE NIGHT.

WEDNESDAY...MVFR IN SCATTERED SHOWERS.

&&

.MARINE...
THIS AFTERNOON...

11 AM CWF FCST HAS ADJUSTED SEAS WINDS AND HEADLINES FOR SUNDAY...MAINLY
CAPE COD CANAL WATERS EAST TO 15 MILES EAST OF GLOUCESTER MASS.

OTRW SCA FOR SEAS WILL CONTINUE FOR OUR OUTER-WATERS AND SOUNDS WITH
PERSISTENT ONSHORE FLOW THIS AFTN AND EVENING. IN ADDITION...WE WILL
LIKELY SEE A PERIOD OF SCA WINDS GUSTS FOR MUCH OF OUR SOUTHERN
WATERS LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING. THIS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE NEXT PIECE OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY. THEREFORE...WILL HAVE SCA FOR ALL
WATERS EXCEPT BOSTON HARBOR...CAPE COD AND NARR BAYS.

TONIGHT...
WINDS SHOULD TEMPORARILY DIMINISH BUT SEAS WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE
SCA THRESHOLDS ACROSS THE OPEN WATERS...SO WILL CONTINUE HEADLINES.

SUNDAY...
A HIGHLY UNCERTAIN FORECAST OVER THE WATERS. KYLE LOOKS TO PASS EAST
OF THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. THEREFORE...THE EXACT TRACK AND HOW STRONG
THE WESTERN SIDE OF KYLE GETS WILL DETERMINE HOW STRONG THE WINDS.
IF ITS ABLE TO STRENGTHEN ENOUGH WE COULD HAVE A FEW HOURS OF TROPICAL
STORM FORCE WINDS AND HIGH SEAS OVER OUR SOUTHEAST WATERS. CONFIDENCE
REMAINS LOW. ATTM AN 11AM TROP STORM WATCH ISSUED FOR THE REGION WHERE
SUSTAINED 34 KT POSSIBLE AND GALE WATCH ADJACENT TO THAT FOR GALE GUSTS
IS ASSN WITH THE NEARBY PASSAGE OF DEVELOPING KYLE.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SUNDAY NIGHT...KYLE SHOULD BE OVER GEORGES BANK OR GULF OF
ME...TRACKING TOWARD NOVA SCOTIA.

MONDAY AND TUE...FAIRLY LIGHT WINDS AND SUBSIDING SEAS EXPECTED.

WED...SOUTH WINDS WILL INCREASE AS COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE
WEST. SCATTERED SHOWERS EXPECTED. MODEST NW WIND POSSIBLE LATE WED
NIGHT BEHIND COLD FRONT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
FOR STORM TOTALS...WE WILL CONTINUE TO ADD THE TWO OR THREE SEGMENT
EVENT...DESPITE THE 12-15 HOUR BREAK THAT HAS OCCURRED. THIS MAKES
BOOKKEEPING EASIER FOR THE FRI-SUN EVENT AND WE WILL ELABORATE IN
SUBSEQUENT PNSS REGARDING THE VALUED RECOVERY PERIOD AS RUNOFF FLOWS
OUT THE SYSTEM ALLOWING FOR RENEWED R+ ON OUR DOORSTEP.

A LONG LULL IN THE ACTIVITY OCCURRED OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...ANOTHER
STRONG BURST OF LIFT WILL COINCIDE WITH HIGH PWAT VALUES TO PRODUCE
MORE HEAVY RAIN...LATER THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON. AN ADDITIONAL 1
TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED. THE
MODELS ARE PINNING RHODE ISLAND AND EASTERN MA FOR GETTING THE HEAVIEST
RAIN THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. THIS MAY LEAD TO SOME URBAN AND POOR
DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING. THE HEAVIEST RAIN SHOULD LIFT OFF TO THE
NORTH OF OUR REGION THIS EVENING. WE MAY END UP IN A LULL AGAIN FOR
MUCH OF TONIGHT WITH JUST SCATTERED SHOWERS. TROPICAL STORM KYLE
COULD THROW BACK A PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST ON
SUNDAY...BUT RAINFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD QUICKLY DIMINISH ACROSS THE
INTERIOR.

WITH ALL THAT SAID...THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SEVERAL RIVER FORECAST
POINTS TO EXPERIENCE MINOR FLOODING. AREAS OF CONCERN INCLUDE MAIN
TRIBUTARIES TO THE LOWER MERRIMACK RIVER...AS WELL AS PORTIONS OF
THE MAINSTEM MERRIMACK ITSELF. ALSO IN SOUTH CENTRAL MA AND RI...THE
BLACKSTONE RIVER...AND THE PAWTUXET. IN CENTRAL CONNECTICUT THE
FARMINGTON RIVER COULD EXPERIENCE STRONG RISES AS WELL. THERE IS A
CHANCE THESE TRIBUTARIES COULD REACH FLOOD STAGE TONIGHT OR SUNDAY...STAY
TUNED FOR UPDATES. THE PAWTUXET RIVER COULD EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS
EARLIER SINCE IT RESPONDS VERY QUICKLY TO HEAVY RAINS. TO ACQUIRE
SPECIFIC RIVER STAGE FORECASTS GO TO WEATHER.GOV/BOSTON...CLICK ON
RIVERS AND LAKES AHPS...AND CLICK ON THE FORECAST POINT OF CONCERN.
