AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
500 PM EDT TUE JUL 1 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
NEAR OR ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT WEEK OR 2
WITH THE FREQUENCY OF SHORT EPISODES OF THUNDERY WEATHER CONTINUING
AS JUNES UNSTABLE WARM PATTERN PERSISTS INTO EARLY JULY. THIS SUMMER
PATTERN FEATURES THE CONSTANCY OF A WESTERN ATLANTIC HIGH PRES SYSTEM
DAMPENING OUT APPROACHING COLD FRONTS SPUN EASTWARD BY THE SOUTHERN
CANADIAN JET STREAM AND ASSOCIATED LOW PRES SYSTEMS.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
A WEAK SHORT WAVE DISTURBANCE COMBINED WITH SOME SEABREEZE
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALLOWED FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TO DEVELOP LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THESE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE PRODUCED SOME FREQUENT LIGHTNING...LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL...GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL. AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM COULD
BE SEVERE. PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST BOSLSRBOX.
PATCHY FOG IS EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP ALONG THE SOUTHEASTERN
MASSACHUSETTS COAST TONIGHT. THE FOG COULD BECOME LOCALLY DENSE. WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR TRENDS THIS EVENING AS A DENSE FOG ADVISORY MAY BE
REQUIRED FOR A PORTION OF THAT REGION OVERNIGHT. A FEW SHOWERS COULD
ALSO GRAZE OUTER CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET OFFSHORE...THE WEST SIDE OF THE THETA-E
RIDGE AXIS AND THE AREA WILL RESIDE UNDENEATH AN AREA OF FAVORABLE
UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
WEDNESDAY...THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH FINALLY SWINGS THROUGH THE FORECAST
AREA BY 00Z THURSDAY. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS EASTERN CONNECTICUT...RHODE ISLAND AND EASTERN
MASSACHUSETTS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. SURFACE BASED CAPES RISE TO
1000-1500 J/KG. WIND FIELDS REMAIN FAIRLY STRONG AT OR ABOVE 500
MILLIBARS WITH THE UPPER LEVEL JET LOCATED OVERHEAD. WILL NEED TO
MONITOR THE POTENTIAL FOR ANY ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ONCE
AGAIN...BUT FOR NOW HAVE NOT INCLUDED ANY ENHANCED WORDING. WILL INCLUDE
A MENTION IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.
OTHERWISE A PARTLY SUNNY...WARM AND HUMID DAY CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS
THE EAST...WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND LOWERING HUMIDITY LEVELS EXPECTED
ACROSS THE WEST. 850 MILLIBAR TEMPERATURES AROUND +13 TO +14 CELSIUS WITH
BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING UP TO THAT LEVEL WOULD YIELD HIGHS IN THE MID 80S.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...ANY EVENING CONVECTION WILL DIMINISH WITH THE
LOSSOF DAYTIME HEATING. OTHERWISE A MAINLY CLEAR AND MILD NIGHT
EXPECTED. SOME FOG PATCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE VALLEYS.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE THE APPROACH OF A VIGOROUS COLD FRONT
FOR THURSDAY. ECMWF REMAINS A BIT FASTER THAN THE GFS.
OVERALL...LOOKING AT A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS DURING THE
AFTERNOON ON THURS...MAINLY ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN HALF OF THE CWA.
HAVE HIGH CHANCE/LOW LIKELY POPS LATE THURS AFTN INTO THURS NITE FOR
THIS AREA. GIVEN THE KINEMATIC AND THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES THAT ARE
PRESENTLY MODELED...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATER THURS
AFTN AND EVENING...WITH THE BEST CHANCES TO THE WEST OF I-495 AND NORTH
OF I-84. CONTINUED HIGH CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND TSTMS FOR MUCH OF THE
AREA FOR THURS NIGHT.
THE 4TH OF JULY FORECAST REMAINS A BIT UNCERTAIN. ECMWF REMAINS DRY
BUT THE GFS HAS AT LEAST SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS MUCH OF THE DAY. THE
OUTCOME WILL HINGE ON THE EVENTUAL POSITION OF THE SAGGING FRONT AND
THE TIMING OF ANY SHORT WAVES THAT TRAVEL ALONG IT. FOR NOW...NOT
REALLY CONFIDENT ON POPS...AND BELIEVE THAT LOW CHANCES ARE WARRANTED
AT THIS TIME.
AFTER THE 4TH....THE FORECAST REMAINS UNCERTAIN BUT WE DO BELIEVE
THAT CHANCES OF RAIN WILL BE QUITE GOOD SOMETIME BETWEEN SATURDAY AND
MONDAY NIGHT. NOT A WASHOUT...BUT FEEL POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR
LOCALIZED 1-3 INCH AMOUNTS SOMEWHERE...PERHAPS SAT OR SAT NITE.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AREAS OF MVFR AND LOCAL IFR CIGS WILL PERSIST THIS AFTERNOON OVER
CAPE/ISLANDS ESPECIALLY ACK...OTHERWISE MAINLY VFR THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. WIDELY SCT SHRA/TSRA MAY BRING BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS TO
MAINLY INTERIOR TERMINALS. LOCAL SEABREEZES WILL CONTINUE AT COASTAL
LOCATIONS WITH WINDS SHIFTING TO S AT BOS 21-22Z.
TONIGHT...MVFR/IFR CIGS/VSBYS LIKELY EXPAND ACROSS IMMEDIATE S COAST
AFT 03Z BUT ONGOING AT ACK. LOCAL MVFR FOG POSSIBLE INTERIOR
TERMINALS LATE TONIGHT...OTHERWISE VFR.
WEDNESDAY...EARLY MORNING MVFR/IFR ALONG S COAST...OTHERWISE VFR.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...VFR. LOCAL MVFR/IFR IN FOG PATCHES ACROSS THE VALLEYS.
OUTLOOK THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THERE PROBABLY WILL BE A PERIOD OF MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES LATE THURSDAY AND INTO FRIDAY
BRINGING THE CHANCE OF MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. SVR
TSTMS MAY IMPACT AIR TRAVEL FOR SEVERAL HOURS LATE THU AFTN.
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY...VFR LIKELY BUT A CHANCE OF IFR CONDITIONS
EXISTS DEPENDING ON FRONTAL PLACEMENT AND ASSOCIATED SHOWERS AND
TSTMS.
THERE MAY ALSO BE LOWER CONDITIONS IN AREAS OF FOG AND STRATUS
THROUGH THE PERIOD...MAINLY AT NIGHT INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
EACH DAY.
&&
.MARINE...
A HIGH SURF ADVISORY HAS BEEN EXPANDED WEST TO INCLUDE SOUTHERN
BRISTOL...SOUTHERN PLYMOUTH AND NEWPORT COUNTIES GIVEN RECENT BEACH
REPORTS OF MODERATE TO STRONG RIP CURRENTS.
DUE TO CONTINUED S-SW SWELLS IN THE 5-7 FOOT RANGE...HAVE EXTENDED
THE SMALL CRAFT THROUGH TONIGHT ACROSS THE NEARBY SOUTHERN SOUNDS
AND INTO WED ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS. SEAS WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE
TONIGHT.
AREAS OF FOG EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP TONIGHT ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN
COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT WHICH WILL REDUCE VISIBILITIES BELOW ONE MILE.
OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS LOOK LIKE A GOOD BET THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
NIGHT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THE GRADIENT GETS PRETTY
TIGHT SO BUILDING SEAS ON SUSTAINED 15KT G25 WINDS LIKELY. SEAS WILL
SUBSIDE SAT AND RELATIVELY TRANQUIL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ON SUNDAY
ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE A RISK OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS ON THE WATERS
DURING THE PERIOD.
