AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1041 PM EDT SUN JUN 29 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
ROUNDS OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT OUR REGION THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...
AND PROBABLY INTO TUESDAY AS WELL. DRY AND WARM WEATHER SHOULD
FOLLOW FOR WEDNESDAY AND CONTINUE FOR THE FIRST PART OF THURSDAY. A
COLD FRONT MAY BRING MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...BUT CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW THIS FAR
OUT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
1035 PM QUICK UPDATE TO BUMP UP POPS IN WESTERN ZONES STARTING AROUND
MIDNIGHT THROUGH 3 AM...BASED ON THE APPROACH OF THE SHOWERS ENTERING
THE HUDSON VALLEY OF NY.  NO OTHER CHANGES.

OTHERWISE...WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTION FROM BRIDGEPORT TO JUST EAST
OF SPRINGFIELD...MOVING NORTHEAST. THE SPRINGFIELD CELLS WILL MOVE
ACROSS CENTRAL MASS THROUGH MIDNIGHT...THE BRIDGEPORT CELL WILL MOVE
THROUGH WILLIMANTIC AROUND 1130 PM AND PASS SOUTH OF WORCESTER 1230
TO 100 AM. THE BRIDGEPORT CELL IS MOVING ALONG THE AXIS OF MAXIMUM
THTA E AND IN AN AREA OF -2 LI/S...AND WILL BEAR WATCHING.

MORE SUBSTANTIAL LINE OF SHOWERS/STORMS IN EASTERN PA AND WESTERN NYS
MOVING NORTHEAST. THIS APPROACHES THE MASS/NY STATE BORDER AROUND
1130-MIDNIGHT. THAT AREA HAS STABILIZED WITH LI AROUND +4 SOUTHWEST
OF ALB. MUCH OF THIS WILL SLIDE INTO VT/NH/MAINE OVERNIGHT. OTHER
STORMS IN EASTERN PA AND DELMARVA MOVING NORTHEAST MAY REACH US LATE
TONIGHT...AFTER 3 AM.

STRATUS AND SOME FOG SHOULD BUILD INTO THE AREA ONCE AGAIN
TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY OVER THE COASTAL AREAS. AS FAR AS POPS
FOR...WENT WITH A CHANCE OVER EASTERN MASS/RI WITH LOW LIKELY WESTERN
ZONES. ACTIVITY SHOULD REALLY WANE AFTER MIDNIGHT...EXPECT PERHAPS
OVER THE CAPE AND ISLANDS WHERE IT MAY LINGER A BIT LONGER.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
ANY STRATUS AND FOG SHOULD BURN OFF DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ON
MONDAY LEAVING BEHIND PARTLY SUNNY SKIES. OVERALL THEME FROM TODAY
WILL REMAIN THE SAME ON MONDAY...BROAD SW FLOW THROUGHOUT THE COLUMN.
WE SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH SUNSHINE TO DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE WEAKLY
TO MODERATELY. HOWEVER...DEW POINTS SHOULD BE A BIT LOWER THAN THEY
ARE TODAY. DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BE DECENT AND A SFC TROF WILL
APPROACH DURING THE AFTERNOON. THIS MAY ALLOW SHOWERS AND TSTMS TO
REDEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON. A FEW COULD BE STRONG/LOCALLY SEVERE.
OTHERWISE...MAV MOS GENERALLY ACCEPTED FOR MAX TEMPS.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MONDAY NIGHT...
UPPER TROUGH STILL REMAINS TO OUR WEST AND WE WILL
CONTINUE IN A WARM AIR ADVECTION PATTERN. ITS ALWAYS TOUGH TO
PINPOINT IF ELEVATED SHOWERS/EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP IN
THIS SITUATION. HOWEVER...WITH WARM ADVECTION...IMPRESSIVE MID LEVEL
WIND FIELDS AND SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY WILL GO WITH LOW CHANCE
POPS. REGARDLESS...AREAS OF FOG SHOULD ONCE AGAIN FORM WITH THE LOW
LEVEL OF THE ATMOSPHERE QUITE MOIST. LOWS SHOULD BE MAINLY IN THE
60S.

TUESDAY...
ANY SCATTERED PRECIPITATION SHOULD EXIT OUR REGION EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING. OTHERWISE...PARTLY SUNNY SKIES ARE EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE
DAY WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES REACHING WELL INTO THE 80S AWAY FROM THE
IMMEDIATE COAST. THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH FINALLY BEGINS TO APPROACH
OUR REGION AND STEEPEN OUR MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES DURING THE
AFTERNOON/EVENING. SINCE WE SHOULD BE BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...HAVE
LOWERED POPS SLIGHTLY FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...
THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH FINALLY BEGINS TO LOSE ITS GRIP ON OUR REGION.
HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST WILL PUMP A SOUTHWEST FLOW OF
RATHER WARM AIR INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  IT SHOULD MAINLY BE DRY
WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.  AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT MAY
TRIGGER SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS BY LATE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON ACROSS THE INTERIOR...BUT MOST OF THE DAY SHOULD BE DRY.
HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD WARM WELL INTO THE 80S AWAY FROM THE
IMMEDIATE SOUTH COAST/CAPE/ISLANDS IN A WELL MIXED ATMOSPHERE.

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...
THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT...BUT STILL HAVE
SOME DIFFERENCES TO LOWER CONFIDENCE. THERE IS STILL SOME QUESTION
HOW FAR SOUTH THIS FRONT MAKES IT BEFORE IT STALLS. FOR NOW WILL JUST
GO WITH LOW CHANCE POPS OVER THIS PERIOD UNTIL THINGS BECOME MORE
CLEAR.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL AID IN LOCAL IFR CONDITIONS THIS EVENING. FOG
AND STRATUS MAY ONCE AGAIN BUILD INTO EASTERN MASS/RHODE ISLAND
OVERNIGHT AND RESULT IN IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS.

ANY CLOUDS AND FOG SHOULD BURN OFF EARLY MONDAY MORNING LEAVING
BEHIND HIGH-END MVFR OR VFR CONDITIONS. SCT THUNDERSTORMS MAY ONCE
AGAIN REDEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS AS A SURFACE TROF NEARS.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...TIMES OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN LOW
CLOUDS/FOG AS WELL AS SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. THIS WILL ALSO
BE INTER-MIXED WITH VFR CONDITIONS.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...MAINLY VFR. SCATTERED MVFR IN SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

FRIDAY...MAINLY VFR. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED MVFR IN AFTERNOON SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.MARINE...
INCREASING SLY FLOW SHOULD ALLOW FOR INCREASING SEASON ON THE OUTER
WATERS TONIGHT INTO MONDAY. SEAS SHOULD BUILD TO BETWEEN 5 AND 7
FEET. WAVEWATCH CONTINUES TO BE OVERDONE BY A FOOT OR TWO. WINDS
GUSTS WILL BE VERY MARGINAL BUT COULD TOUCH 25 KT AT TIMES.

A HIGH SURF ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR MONDAY FOR THE SOUTH FACING
BEACHES. THERE WILL BE A MODERATE TO HIGH RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...

MARGINAL SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT
THROUGH FRIDAY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN OUTER COASTAL WATERS. IN
ADDITION...AREAS OF DENSE FOG DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS THROUGH
TUESDAY MORNING WILL REDUCE VISIBILITIES FOR MARINERS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES UP TO 2 INCHES ARE LIKELY THIS EVENING.
THEREFORE...ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS...WITH RAINFALL RATES OF 1 TO 2 INCHES
PER HOUR...AND RESULTANT FLOODING OF URBAN/POOR DRAINAGE AREAS AND
SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS.

&&

.BOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
