AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
615 PM EDT TUE JUL 22 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
VERY WARM AND HUMID SUMMER CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT
AND WED WILL BECOME MORE NUMEROUS BY WED NIGHT AS A FRONT SLOWLY
APPROACHES. BY THU...HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE...
SLOWLY ENDING DURING FRI. ANOTHER FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE
WEST THIS WEEKEND WITH MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
SBCAPES NEAR 1000 J/KG AND MLCAPES AROUND 500 J/KG HAVE DEVELOPED
OVER W MA AND NW CT AT 4 PM.  THERE ARE A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS IN EASTERN NY WITH WEAKER ACTIVITY SPILLING INTO THE
BERKSHIRES.  0-6KM SHEAR NEAR 50 KTS INTO OUR W ZONES WHICH IS
IMPRESSIVE BUT INSTABILITY IS LACKING FOR A ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER
EVENT.  THERE IS STILL A CHANCE OF AN ISOLD SEVERE STORM THROUGH
EARLY EVENING GIVEN STRONG SHEAR...BUT THIS SHOULD BE CONFINED WEST
OF CT VALLEY.  IT SHOULD BE MAINLY DRY INTO THE EVENING ACROSS
EASTERN MA AND RI.

AREA OF SHOWERS AND SCT TSTMS MAY SPILL INTO OUR W ZONES
TONIGHT...THEN FOCUS LATE TONIGHT MAY ACTUALLY SHIFT TO THE SOUTH
COAST AS WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTHWARD INTO THE REGION.  GFS SHOWING
DECENT SIGNAL FOR CONVECTION LATE TONIGHT NEAR THE SOUTH COAST WITH
SWI -2...LI -2 TO -4...TT APPROACHING 50 AND LOW LEVEL THETA-E RIDGE
ALONG WITH DECENT MID LEVEL OMEGA.  POPS WERE INCREASED TO LIKELY
LATE TONIGHT ALONG THE SOUTH COAST WITH LIKELY POPS ALSO ACROSS OUR
W ZONES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AMPLIFYING UPPER TROF ACROSS GREAT LAKES WILL RESULT IN A SLOW
MOVING COLD FRONT MOVING EASTWARD THROUGH NEW YORK STATE WED AND WED
NIGHT.  GFS APPEARED TO BE A BIT FAST MOVING FRONT INTO WESTERN MA
LATE WED NIGHT.  WITH AMPLIFYING TROF TO THE WEST PREFER A SLOWER
SOLUTION MORE IN LINE WITH THE SREF WHICH IS A NICE BLEND BETWEEN
THE FASTER GFS AND SLOWER NAM.  THIS BRINGS THE FRONT TO THE HUDSON
VALLEY OR EXTREME WESTERN NEW ENG LATE WED NIGHT.

WITH AN AMPLIFIED PATTERN...THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL IS USUALLY
CONFINED CLOSE TO THE SFC BOUNDARY.  THIS SUGGESTS THE HEAVIEST
RAINFALL THROUGH WED NIGHT WILL REMAIN WEST OF SNE WHICH IS ALSO
SUPPORTED BY RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF UPPER JET TO THE WEST.
HOWEVER...THIS DOES NOT MEAN THERE WONT BE ANY HEAVY RAIN THROUGH
WED NIGHT AS INCREASING PWATS...INSTABILITY AND INCREASING SOUTHERLY
LLJ WILL LIKELY RESULT IN HEAVIER SHOWERS/TSTMS SPILLING INTO THE
REGION.  THE MAIN FOCUS FOR ANY HEAVY RAIN WILL BE ACROSS W ZONES.

WED...HIGHEST POPS FOR SHOWERS/TSTMS CONFINED TO THE INTERIOR WEST
OF MHT-IJD NEAR LOW LEVEL THETA-E RIDGE.  CROSS SECTIONS SUGGEST
THERE WILL BE LOTS OF LOW CLOUDS AROUND DURING WED COMBINED WITH LOW
LEVEL S/SE FLOW WILL LIMIT INSTABILITY.  SO DESPITE DECENT
SHEAR...SEVERE THREAT APPEARS MARGINAL AT THIS TIME WITH BEST THREAT
ACROSS W ZONES IF WE CAN BREAK OUT INTO SOME SUNSHINE.  WITH CLOUD
COVER AND SOUTHERLY FLOW...WE HAVE MAX TEMPS 75-80 ACROSS THE REGION
WITH LOWER 80S CT VALLEY.  VERY HUMID AIRMASS WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE
LOWER 70S.

WED BEACH FCST...WE HAVE MODERATE RISK OF RIPS FROM LEFTOVER
SOUTHERLY SWELL WHICH WILL BE DECREASING.

WED NIGHT...HIGHEST POPS /CATEGORICAL/ CONFINED TO W ZONES CLOSEST
TO APPROACHING FRONT BUT WE HAVE LIKELY TO EAST COASTAL MA.
INCREASING SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET AND HIGH PWATS WILL LIKELY BRING
SOME HEAVIER RAINFALL TO SNE...WITH MAIN FOCUS WEST OF CT VALLEY.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SHOWING PRETTY GOOD CONTINUITY THIS AFTERNOON
WITH THE EVOLUTION OF THE ANOMALOUS AMPLIFIED UPPER LEVEL PATTERN
THAT PUTS THE EASTERN SEABOARD INTO A LONG WAVE TROUGH INTO NEXT
WEEK WITH BLOCKING HIGH PRES OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL ATLC. ONE
MODEL THAT APPEARS TO BE A BIT FAST WITH THE SURFACE FEATURES IS THE
12Z OP GFS RUN...WHICH SEEMS ODD CONSIDERING THE DEEPENING UPPER
TROUGH. LEANED TOWARD A BLEND OF THE 00Z EC/EC ENSEMBLES AND GFS
ENSEMBLE MEAN...WHICH ALL APPEAR TO SLOW SYSTEMS DOWN INTO THIS
WEEKEND AS WOULD BE EXPECTED IN A HIGHLY AMPLIFIED PATTERN. BEYOND
THAT...LESS CONFIDENCE WITH THE MODELS TRYING TO PUSH THE UPPER LOW
INTO QUEBEC THEN TRYING TO MOVE SURFACE SYSTEMS ALONG A BIT MORE
QUICKLY.

STRONG TROPICAL CONNECTION CONTINUES EARLY IN THE PERIOD...SO COULD
SEE MORE HEAVY RAINFALL THROUGH LATE WEEK AND POSSIBLY INTO THE
WEEKEND. MODELS THEN TRY TO PUSH THE CUTOFF LOW OUT OF THE GREAT
LAKES INTO QUEBEC...BUT THAT WILL STILL KEEP THE REGION IN AN
UNSETTLED PATTERN THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD.

THURSDAY...STILL SOME QUESTIONS AS TO THE AMPLITUDE OF THE DIGGING
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO OUR WEST...AND HENCE THE TIMING OF THE PRECIP
INTO THE REGION. HOWEVER...SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE MODELS AS WELL AS
THE ENSEMBLES BRING THE HEAVY AXIS OF PRECIP SLOWLY ACROSS THE
REGION DURING THIS TIMEFRAME. HIGH PW/S ALONG INCREASING LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND A INCREASING LOW LEVEL SOUTH JET WILL CAUSE
HEAVY RAIN TO PUSH INTO CENTRAL AND WESTERN AREAS DURING THE
AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE SLOWLY APPROACHING COLD FRONT.

EXPECT HEAVY RAINFALL TO CAUSE URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING.
COULD ALSO SEE PROBLEMS ALONG THE FAST RISING SMALLER RIVERS AND
STREAMS. WILL BE MONITORING THIS ASPECT VERY CLOSELY.

THURSDAY NIGHT...AS THE FRONT SLOWLY PUSHES EASTWARD ACROSS THE
REGION...HEAVY PRECIP AXIS WILL SHIFT E. CURRENT TIMING ON THE
FORECAST SUGGESTS THAT THE PRECIP WILL END OVER WESTERN AREAS AFTER
MIDNIGHT...THEN WILL DIMINISH TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND/OR TSTMS OVER
THE E.

FRIDAY...WITH THE BLOCKING HIGH TO THE E...ALONG WITH THE CUTOFF
UPPER LOW OVER QUEBEC...WILL STILL SEE UNSETTLED WEATHER ACROSS THE
REGION. LOOKS LIKE THE FRONT WILL STILL BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE COAST
TO KEEP AT LEAST CHANCE POPS GOING ALONG THE E COAST FOR MOST OF THE
DAY...WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON ACROSS INLAND
AREAS FOR THE AFTERNOON. THE FRONT SHOULD PUSH FURTHER E OFF THE
COAST TO DROP THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS ALONG THE COAST LATER IN THE
DAY.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...NEXT COLD FRONT SLOWLY APPROACHES FROM THE
WEST...THOUGH TIMING IS STILL IN QUESTION. LATEST 12Z ECMWF IS
TRYING TO SLOW THIS FRONT DOWN EVEN FURTHER. HAVE KEPT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS GOING THROUGH THIS ENTIRE PERIOD.

MONDAY...COLD FRONT SLOWLY PASSES E OF THE REGION BY EARLY MONDAY AT
THIS POINT...BUT COULD STALL JUST OFF THE COAST KEEPING CHANCE POPS
GOING FOR COASTAL AREAS.

TUESDAY...AT THIS POINT...KEPT CHANCE POPS MAINLY NEAR AND S OF THE
MASS PIKE...SLOWLY PUSHING S. NOT A LOT OF CONFIDENCE WITH THIS
PORTION OF THE FORECAST DUE TO THE POSITIONING OF THE STALLING FRONT
TO OUR S.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
TONIGHT...
MARGINAL MVFR/VFR CEILINGS WERE OBSERVED ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
AT MID AFTERNOON.  CONDITIONS THOUGH ARE EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE TO
IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS FROM SOUTH TO NORTH OVERNIGHT IN LOW CLOUDS AND
FOG PATCHES.  THIS WILL BE IN RESPONSE TO INCREASING LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE.  IN ADDITION...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE NUMEROUS OVERNIGHT.

WEDNESDAY...
LOW CLOUDS WILL PROBABLY HANG TOUGH FOR MUCH OF THE DAY WITH A
MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW.  IFR CONDITIONS COULD IMPROVE TO MVFR
CONDITIONS AT TIMES DURING THE AFTERNOON.  THERE ALSO SHOULD BE
SCATTERED LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN SHOWERS AND FEW EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE INTERIOR.

WED NIGHT...MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS FOR ALL TAF LOCATIONS.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

THU...MVFR-IFR ALL TERMINALS. SHRA/TSRA EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY
INTERIOR TERMINALS.

THU NIGHT...MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS GRADUALLY IMPROVING TO VFR OVER
WESTERN AREAS.

FRI...MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS E AREAS. VFR WITH BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE INTERIOR.

SAT...VFR TO START...THEN MVFR CONDITIONS IN SCT SHRA/TSRA.

SUN...CONTINUED MVFR WITH SPOTTY IFR CONDITIONS IN SCT SHRA/TSRA.

&&

.MARINE...
SOUTHERLY SWELL STARTING TO SUBSIDE BUT STILL 5-6 FT AT BUOYS S AND
E OF ACK.  WAVEWATCH KEEPS SEAS ABOVE 5 FT OVER OUTER SOUTHERN
WATERS SO SCA FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH WED.

WINDS THROUGH WED WILL REMAIN BELOW SCA LEVELS.  DURING WED NIGHT...
APPROACHING SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET WILL RESULT IN INCREASING WINDS
WITH GUSTS TO 25 KTS POSSIBLE.  WE UNDERCUT WAVEWATCH WHICH IS
OVERESTIMATING SEAS IN SOUTHERLY FLOW...BUT SEAS STILL EXPECTED TO
BUILD TO 7-8 FEET OVER SOUTHERN WATERS.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...EXPECT SCA EXPECTED WITH BUILDING S SWELL
AND WIND GUSTS TO 25 KT WITH STRONG LOW LEVEL S JET. SEAS MAY BUILD
UP TO 10 FT ON THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS DURING THURSDAY...THEN WILL
SUBSIDE THU NIGHT AND FRI. SEAS MAY BUILD TO 5 FT AGAIN AHEAD OF
NEXT FRONT.

SATURDAY...WINDS WILL REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA. SEAS AROUND
5-6 FT ON THE SOUTHERN WATERS WITH CONTINUED S SWELL.

SUNDAY...S-SW WINDS WILL REMAIN BELOW 25 KTS...BUT SEAS REACH UP TO
8 FT...THOUGH WAVEWATCH MODEL MAY BE A BIT OVERDONE.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
QPF AMOUNTS ON ORDER OF 1 TO 2.5 INCHES STILL IN OUR FORECAST.
HIGHEST AMOUNTS CURRENTLY FORECASTED FOR A GOOD CHUNK OF OUR
FORECAST AREA...WITH AXIS FROM EASTERN CT AND W RI THROUGH CENTRAL
MA TO S CENTRAL NH. AT THIS POINT...EXPECT HEAVIEST RAINFALL TO
OCCUR FROM AFTER MIDNIGHT THURSDAY INTO EARLY FRIDAY...THOUGH TIMING
IS STILL IN QUESTION.

WILL NEED TO MONITOR THIS VERY CLOSELY AS SOME LOCATIONS MAY EXCEED
SHORT TERM FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE WITH POSSIBLE FLOODING.

RAINFALL THE PAST WEEK OR SO HAS BEEN WELL ABOVE NORMAL IN THE
BOSTON METRO AREA NORTHWARD INTO PARTS OF S NH. ESSEX COUNTY AS WELL
AS MIDDLESEX COUNTY MASSACHUSETTS AND HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY NH ARE
MOST VULNERABLE DUE TO THE PRIMING OF THE PAST WEEK /ANTECEDENT
CONDS/ AND EXPECTED ADDITIONAL RAINFALL.  THESE AREAS WILL HAVE BEST
SHOT OF ANY FLOODING THAT MAY OCCUR OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
