AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
413 PM EDT SAT JUN 28 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
SCATTERED SHOWERS THUNDERSTORMS IN ASSOCIATION WITH SLOW MOVING LOW
PRESSURE WILL AFFECT PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THROUGH MONDAY
AND POSSIBLY INTO TUESDAY. DRIER WEATHER SHOULD RETURN MIDWEEK. A
COLD FRONT MAY BRING MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY
NIGHT AND OR FRIDAY BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW THIS FAR OUT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 10 PM THIS EVENING/...
BACK-DOOR COLD FRONT HASN/T BUDGED MUCH TODAY...AND IS STILL
POSITIONED IN A NW TO SE FASHION FROM SWRN NH SOUTHEASTWARD TO
SOUTHEASTERN MASS. TO THE NE OF THIS BOUNDARY...EXPECT CLOUDS AND
COOL TEMPERATURES TO CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING. TO THE WEST AND
SOUTHWEST OF THIS BOUNDARY...THE AIRMASS IS VERY WARM AND HUMID. THIS
GENERAL THEME SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING AS I DON/T SEE THIS
FRONT MOVING MUCH.

A SHORT WAVE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST MAY STILL IGNITE ISOLD TO SCT
THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING ALONG AND TO THE
WEST OF THE BACK-DOOR BOUNDARY. A STORM OR TWO COULD BE STRONG TO
MARGINALLY SEVERE AS INSTABILITY AND SHEAR SUPPORTS VIGOROUS UPDRAFTS
THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS ACROSS WESTERN MASS/NRN CT/RI.

&&

.SHORT TERM /10 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
SHORT WAVE MOVES ACROSS NWRN ZONES THIS EVENING. ANY SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD END AFTER 06Z WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE SHORT
WAVE. BEST CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE ACROSS NWRNMOST ZONES. NOT
MUCH IF ANY IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE SE.

BACK-DOOR FRONT SHOULD STAY PUT OVERNIGHT ACROSS EASTERN ZONES. THIS
WILL CONTINUE THE LIKELIHOOD OF LOW CLOUDS...FOG...AND PERHAPS SOME
DRIZZLE FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT.

THE FRONT WILL FINALLY MOVE NORTHEASTWARD AND OUT OF THE CWA ON
SUNDAY AND THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR THE WARMTH AND HUMIDITY MAKE IT INTO
EASTERN MASS AND SRN NH. A BLEND OF THE MOS GUIDANCE VALUES WERE USED
FOR MAXES.

SHORT WAVE APPROACHES FROM THE WEST DURING THE DAY ON SUNDAY. GIVEN
THAT ABUNDANT INSOLATION CAN OCCUR...THE AIRMASS OVER MUCH OF
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL BECOME MODERATELY UNSTABLE SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. DEEP LAYER SHEAR VALUES WILL INCREASE DURING THE AFTERNOON
AS THE SHORT WAVE APPROACHES AND BECOME QUITE FAVORABLE FOR STORM
ORGANIZATION.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP TO THE WEST OF SNE BY EARLY
AFTERNOON AS LARGE SCALE ASCENT INCREASES. THESE SHOULD MOVE INTO SNE
BY LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. A FEW OF THESE SHOULD BE STRONG TO
POSSIBLY SEVERE IF THE COMBINATION OF SHEAR AND INSTABILITY DEVELOPS
AS EXPECTED. WIND DAMAGE AND MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL WOULD BE THE MAIN
THREATS. PWATS INCREASE AS WELL...SO RAINFALL RATES IN STORMS COULD
BE QUITE HIGH AND RESULT IN LOCALIZED FLOODING. IF MUCH OF THE REGION
REMAINS SHROUDED IN STRATUS THROUGH MID AFTERNOON...THE CHANCES OF
SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE LOWER.

THE RIP CURRENT THREAT LOOKS TO BE HIGH ON SUNDAY ON SOUTH-FACING
BEACHES AS SOUTHERLY SWELLS OF 5 TO 6 FT ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP WITH
7 TO 8 SECOND PERIODS. WILL NOT ISSUE A HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR SUNDAY
QUITE YET...AS WE WOULD LIKE THE NEXT SHIFT TO GET A LOOK AT THINGS
FIRST.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST WILL FEATURE A BROAD MID LEVEL TROUGH
OVER THE EASTERN U.S. UNTIL MID WEEK. THIS TROUGH THEN RETREATS NORTH
TO SOME EXTENT. THERE ARE SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES OF THE SMALLER
FEATURES AFTER WEDNESDAY...BUT NOT ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR
THAT FAR OUT IN TIME.

28/12Z MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT...SO DID NOT STRAY TOO FAR FROM
THEIR CONSENSUS. ALSO BLENDED IN THE LATEST HPC GUIDANCE AS THEY HAVE
BETTER ACCESS TO ENSEMBLE INFO...ESPECIALLY FRIDAY INTO NEXT
SATURDAY.

SUNDAY NIGHT...
WITH A DECENT LOW LEVEL JET AND PRECIPITABLE WATER BETWEEN 1.5 AND
2.0 INCHES...WILL CONTINUE LOW END LIKELY POPS FOR SHOWERS AND
EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE VERY WEAK...BUT LOW
LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE STILL FAVORABLE FOR CONVECTION...PARTICULARLY
ACROSS THE INTERIOR.

MONDAY...
UPPER TROUGH STILL TO OUR WEST SO WILL BE CONTINUING WITH CHANCE POPS
FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.  WIND FIELDS LOOK FAIRLY
IMPRESSIVE...BUT THE MODELS DISAGREE ON THE AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE
WE MAY SEE ALONG AND HOW MUCH SUBSIDENCE THERE IS BEHIND ANY EARLY
MORNING CONVECTION.  THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME SEVERE WEATHER
MONDAY...WITH VERY GOOD WIND FIELDS ALOFT. HOWEVER...MID LEVEL LAPSE
RATES ARE NOT THAT GREAT AND WE ARE ALSO CONCERNED SUBSIDENCE FROM
ANY CONVECTION EARLY IN THE MORNING MAY LIMIT THE POTENTIAL. ITS JUST
TOO EARLY TO MAKE A CALL ON THIS YET BUT WE WILL WATCH IT CLOSELY
SINCE THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL.

TUESDAY...
IT LOOKS LIKE MOST OF THE DAY SHOULD BE DRY AS DEEPER MOISTURE GETS
SHUNTED EAST OF OUR REGION.  HOWEVER...WITH UPPER TROUGH AND ITS
ASSOCIATED COLD POOL ALOFT APPROACHING A FEW HIT AND MISS SHOWERS...
AND PERHAPS A THUNDERSTORM OR TWO...MAY DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE COAST WILL PUMP A SOUTHWEST FLOW OF RATHER
WARM AIR INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  IT SHOULD BE DRY WITH PARTLY TO
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AS HIGH TEMPERATURES WARM INTO THE MID TO UPPER
80S AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE SOUTH COAST/CAPE/ISLANDS.

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...
AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT MAY BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO OUR REGION. HOWEVER...THERE IS CONSIDERABLE
UNCERTAINTY TO THE TIMING OF THIS FRONT.

FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...THE COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO
BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY JUST SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND. HAVE KEPT A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST FOR NOW...BUT THIS WILL LIKELY
CHANGE AS THE FRONTAL LOCATION BECOME MORE CERTAIN.

LATEST MOS GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES ARE REASONABLE...SO USED THEM TO
TREND PREVIOUS FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TONIGHT...IFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR MOST OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND TONIGHT EAST OF THE CT RIVER AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS
HIGH.

EXPECT CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE SUNDAY MORNING AS BACK-DOOR COLD FRONT
LIFTS NORTHWARD. IFR CONDITIONS SHOULD QUICKLY LIFT TO MVFR THEN IFR
AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST. HOWEVER...THERE MAY BE SOME RESIDUAL
HAZE AROUND RESULTING IN PATCHES OF MVFR VSBYS. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TO THE WEST OF NEW ENGLAND BY
EARLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EFFECT AREAS MAINLY WEST OF A PVD-MHT LINE
BY LATE IN THE AFTERNOON WITH LOCALIZED IFR CONDITIONS ALONG WITH
GUSTY CONVECTIVE WINDS.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN LOW
CLOUDS/FOG...AS WELL AS SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. VFR
CONDITIONS LIKELY INTERSPERSED AS WELL.

TUESDAY INTO THURSDAY...MAINLY VFR...ALTHOUGH BRIEF ISOLATED MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS COULD OCCUR TUESDAY AFTERNOON IF A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPS. MVFR/IFR MOST LIKELY DUE TO SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE
THURSDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL INCREASE LATER TONIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE
APPROACHES. WINDS AND SEAS CONTINUE TO INCREASE A BIT ON SUNDAY AND
THIS SHOULD RESULT IN SMALL CRAFT SEAS ON THE OUTER WATERS ON SUNDAY.
AN OCCASIONAL 25 KT GUST CANNOT BE RULED OUT NEAR SHORE.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

WNA MODEL CONTINUES TO OVER FORECAST WAVE HEIGHTS WITH THE INVERSION
OVER THE WATERS SO UNDERCUT THE GUIDANCE. HOWEVER...PERSISTENT
SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL RESULT IN SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA SEAS FOR
OUR SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS DURING MUCH OF THIS TIME. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
20 TO 25 KNOT WIND GUSTS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN
WATERS SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. IN ADDITION...AREAS OF FOG DURING
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING WILL REDUCE VISIBILITIES
FOR MARINERS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES UP TO 2 INCHES ARE LIKELY SUNDAY.
THEREFORE...ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS AND RESULTANT FLOODING OF URBAN AREAS
AND SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS.

&&

.BOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CT...NONE.
MA...NONE.
NH...NONE.
RI...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS FROM 6 AM TO 8 PM EDT
     SUNDAY FOR ANZ254-255.
