AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
500 PM EDT SAT MAY 31 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND OVERNIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST SUNDAY AND EXIT THE REGION ON
TUE. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AS A WARM FRONT THEN COLD
FRONT MOVE THROUGH ON TUE NIGHT INTO WED NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY
ON THU BUT ANOTHER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FRI WITH A WARM FRONT.
SUMMERLIKE HEAT WITH SUNSHINE EXPECTED ON SAT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
MAIN UPDATE TO GRIDS WAS TO MODIFY HOURLY POPS AND WIND SPEEDS. IN
ADDITION THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK HAS BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT
CURRENT THINKING. SCATTERED CONVECTION EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP ACROSS
NEW YORK STATE WHERE THE BEST LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY IS LOCATED...AND
THEN CROSS WESTERN NEW ENGLAND LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.
THE STORM PREDICTION CENTERS CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK MAINTAINS A SLIGHT RISK
OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA...MAINLY FOR DAMAGING WIND AND LARGE HAIL. LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL AND URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING EXPECTED WITH ANY
THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
MAIN CONCERN IS POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER. WARM SECTOR AIRMASS
WILL TRY TO MOVE UP ACROSS CT VALLEY SAT AFTERNOON WHERE SOME
SUNSHINE IS POSSIBLE LATE IN THE DAY AFTER A BATCH OF SHOWERS MOVE
THROUGH MIDDAY. BEST MOISTURE/INSTABILITY EXPECTED FROM SW MA
THROUGH WESTERN CT. PLS SEE SPC DAY1 WHICH MIRRORS OUR COLLABORATION
EFFORTS ON THIS MID SHIFT.

AIRMASS BETTER PRIMED FOR STRONG CONVECTION MID ATLC REGION WHERE
MORE HEAT/INSTABILITY AND WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS AS IT SLIDES
EWD POSSIBLY AFFECTING SW ZONES LATE TODAY.

SUPERCELLS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP...WITH
GREATEST PROB SW OF SNE.

CLOUD COVER AND SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL HOLD STABILITY ACROSS EASTERN
NEW ENGLAND DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS SO SVR NOT LIKELY THERE.

THE 00Z/31 GFS IS CONTG A TREND SEEN FOR SEVERAL GFS CYCLES CARRYING
DECENT CAPE AND INSTABILITY TO THE NE MASS COAST BY 05Z SUNDAY. NGM
BEST LI IS RATHER NOTABLE -8

IT APPEARS THAT WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR A CLUSTER OF SVR STORMS
MIGRATING SOMEWHERE ALONG THE MASS PIKE NEWD TO THE S NH BORDER
DURING THE EVENING WITH CAPE NOW PROJECTED OVER 1000J EVEN AT 06Z
SUN ALONG WITH TT 50+ AND DEEP INSTABILITY. WIND FIELDS APPEAR TO BE
LESSENING DURING THE NIGHT SO THAT SVR RISK MAY BE MARGINAL
HAIL/WIND?

HWO HAS OUR MESSAGE AND SKYWARN WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED IN THE OFFICE.

HIGH SURF ADVY POSTED THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. TRIMMED WNA4 WAVES
BY 25 PCT IN WAA PATTERN BUT EVENTUALLY 7 FOOTERS SHOULD POUND THE
OCEAN EXPOSED S COASTS. THE SURF ADVY PROJECTS HIGHEST SEAS TONIGHT.
ADJUSTMENTS MAY BE NEEDED AS THE REALITY UNFOLDS. IF ANYTHING...WE
MAY NEED TO EXTEND THE HIGH SURF INTO SUNDAY...A TIME WHEN MORE
PEOPLE MAY TRY FOR THE BEACHES.

SURF ZONE HIGH RISK RIPS FCST POSTING SOON.

IT WILL BECOME WINDY ALONG THE SOUTH COAST THIS AFTERNOON AS LOW
LEVEL JET MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. CORE OF STRONGEST WINDS BELOW 2K
FT WILL BE ACROSS CAPE/ISLANDS WHERE WIND ADVY CRITERIA MAY BE MET.
NO ADVY YET. DAY SHIFT MAY UPSHIFT ONCE IT BECOMES MORE EVIDENT.

WE ALSO NEED TO MONITOR THE I95 CORRIDOR DURING THE PERIOD 15Z-20Z
TODAY. IF SOMEHOW TEMPS ARE WARMER...MORE AS 00Z/31 NAM THAN THE GFS
RAIN COOLED...THEN G40 KTS WOULD BE POSSIBLE I95 CORRIDOR...AND MAYBE
45 KTS AT MQE.

SUNDAY...MAINLY DRY USING 00Z/31 GFS MOSGUIDE AS DEEP MOISTURE
DEPARTS. SMALL CHC BRIEF SHOWER W OF THE CT RVR. NICE DAY...BREEZY.
WE SAW THE EC WITH A LITTLE MORE PRONOUNCED SHOWER RISK. MOST OF OUR
FCST FOCUS WAS ON TODAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A MAINLY SUNNY DAY IS FORECAST FOR MON. MAY SEE A SHOWER OR TSTM PASS
JUST N OF THE REGION DUE TO A VORT MAX. AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES
THROUGH MON NIGHT AND PASSES E OF THE AREA TUE...EXPECT DRY WEATHER
THROUGH MIDDAY TUE.

RAISED SHOWER AND TSTM PROBABILITIES TO 40-55 PERCENT WITH MIDWEEK
SYSTEM. LOW PRES PASSES FROM MICHIGAN ENE TO MAINE TUE NIGHT THROUGH
WED NIGHT. CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH A WARM FRONT WILL
PASS THROUGH TUE NIGHT...THEN A COLD FRONT WED AFTERNOON COULD
TRIGGER STRONGER TSTMS. THE SITUATION LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO TODAY
WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF CAPE INDICATED ON GFS...BUT STRONGER OVER NJ
AND MID ATLANTIC AREA. A LOT WILL DEPEND ON SURFACE HEATING AND ANY
POSSIBLE ADVECTION OF FOG/STRATUS ON SOUTHERLY WINDS IN ADVANCE OF
THE FRONT.

BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS NOW HAVE DRY WEATHER FORECAST FOR THU BEHIND
THE DEPARTING LOW.

HIGH PRESSURE FROM BERMUDA TO THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WILL PUSH MUCH
WARMER AND MORE HUMID AIR OUR WAY ON FRI. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AS A WEAK WARM FRONT APPROACHES.

SAT LOOKS HOT AND SUNNY WITH MORE OF A WESTERLY AIR FLOW AND 850 MB
TEMPS NEAR +19C ON THE GFS. NCEP ADVISED THAT THE GFS MAY HAVE
OVERDONE THE WARMING. HAVE RAISED FCST TEMPS MORE THAN 10 DEG...TO
MID AND UPPER 80S FOR SAT...BUT THIS IS STILL A FEW DEGREES BELOW MEX
GUIDANCE. IF THIS TREND CONTINUES...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE MAX
TEMPS INTO 90S SAT. OF COURSE...COOLER SEA BREEZES WILL PREVAIL AT
THE COAST.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
COLD FRONT PROGRESSING ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES WILL CONTINUE
TO PROGRESS EASTWARD OVERNIGHT. MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THIS
FRONT HAS TRANPORTED PLENTY OF STRATUS OF MVFR/IFR VARIETY NORTHWARD
ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION EAST OF THE CT RIVER VALLEY. THIS GENERAL
THEME IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT FOR MUCH OF EASTERN MASS AND
RI. THERE MAY BE BRIEF PERIODS WHERE CIGS AND VSBYS LIFT IN
SHOWERS...BUT LOW CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO PERSIST. IN ADDITION...SCT
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD MOVE INTO WESTERN MASS AND CT BY
EARLY THIS EVENING. NOT SURE HOW FAR EAST THEY WILL MAKE IT DUE TO
STABLE CONDITIONS EAST OF THE CT RIVER...BUT CAN/T RULE OUT A ROUND
OF STORMS OR TWO ALL THE WAY TO BOSTON THIS EVENING.

CLEARING OCCURS WILL FROPA FROM WEST TO EAST EARLY SUNDAY MORNING
WITH VFR CONDITIONS PERSISTING SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.

OUTLOOK MON THROUGH THU...

VFR MONDAY THROUGH MID AFTERNOON TUE. MVFR TUE AFTERNOON THROUGH WED
NIGHT IN CLOUDS...SHOWERS...AND THUNDERSTORMS. ISOLATED IFR CEILINGS
POSSIBLE IF SOUTHERLY WINDS ADVECT STRATUS/FOG FROM S OF LONG ISLAND.
VFR AGAIN THU.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...DECENT PRESSURE GRADIENT WIND CONTINUES WITH A 50-55 KT SW
LOW LEVEL JET APPROACHING THE SOUTHEASTERN WATERS. HOWEVER STRATUS
CLOUDS HAVE OVERSPREAD MUCH OF THE SOUTH COAST DUE TO INCREASING
DEWPOINT AIR. THIS HAS CAPPED THE POTENTIAL MOMENTUM TRANSFER. THUS
HAVE CONVERTED THE GALE WARNINGS TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY ACROSS
NARRAGANSETT BAY AND BUZZARDS BAY. STRONGER GUSTS POSSIBLE IN ANY
CONVECTION. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES REMAIN ELSEWHERE THROUGH THIS EVENING.

PREVIOUS DISC...
UNDERCUT WNAWAVE GUIDANCE GIVEN ITS HIGH BIAS IN SOUTHERLY FLOW...BUT
STILL BUILDING TO 7-9 FT OVER OUTER WATERS TONIGHT. THE TRIM WAS 25
PCT TODAY AND TONIGHT BLENDED DOWN TO 5 PCT SUNDAY EVENING.

TONIGHT...S/SW WIND 20-30 KTS THIS EVENING...THEN DIMINISHING
OVERNIGHT AS LLJ MOVES EWD.

SUN...SCA SEAS SUNDAY IN THE OPEN WATERS. SCA GUSTS NEAR SHORE E
MASS WATERS IN THE AFTN AND THE SCA EXTENSION THERE CAN BE REVISITED
LATE TODAY OR SUNDAY.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

MON AND TUE...SEAS NEAR 5 FT OVER THE OUTER WATERS AT THE START WILL
SUBSIDE AND BECOME RELATIVELY TRANQUIL MON NIGHT AND TUE.

TUE NIGHT THROUGH WED NIGHT...WINDS AND SEAS WILL INCREASE TO SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS LATE TUE NIGHT AND WED. DRASTICALLY UNDERCUT
WNA WAVE GUIDANCE WHICH HAD 11 FT SEAS IN RHODE ISLAND SOUND...DUE TO
ITS SOUTHERLY WIND BIAS. STILL CALLING FOR UP TO 6 OR 7 FT THOUGH IF
THE WINDS DO MATERIALIZE...GUSTING TO 30 KTS AND ARE ABLE TO REACH
THE SURFACE.
