AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
225 PM EDT THU AUG 7 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL POOL OF COLD AIR...HIGHLY UNUSUAL IN ITS SUMMERTIME
PERSISTENCE OVER THE NE USA...WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND...
RESULTING IN SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES ALONG WITH SCATTERED
MAINLY AFTERNOON/EVENING STRONG THUNDERSTORMS. A THREAT FOR A BOUT OF
HEAVIER RAINS MAY DEVELOP SOMETIME IN THE MON-WED PERIOD.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SCT SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON INTERIOR.

CLOUDS ARE ERODING IN THE CT VALLEY AND EXPECT SUNSHINE TO INCREASE
ACROSS REST OF INTERIOR INTO EARLY AFTERNOON. LOW CLOUDS WILL BE
SLOWER TO DEPART NEAR THE COAST WITH ONSHORE FLOW AND AS A RESULT
INSTABILITY WILL BE LESS IN THIS REGION.

MODIFIED BDL SOUNDING FOR 80/65 YIELDS MLCAPES OF 1500 J/KG AND GFS
MLCAPES SHOW 1000-1500 J/KG DEVELOPING IN THE INTERIOR WHICH LOOKS
REASONABLE GIVEN EXPECTED SUNSHINE.

COLD TEMPS ALOFT WITH -15C AT 500 MB AND STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
SUGGEST CONVECTION WILL BE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD ACROSS SNE THIS
AFTERNOON AND THIS IS REFLECTED IN VARIOUS MODEL QPF AND SREF
POPS...SO WE HAVE LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS EVERYWHERE EXCEPT SOUTH
COAST WHERE CHC. HOWEVER...MAX MLCAPES AND HIGHER SREF CAPE PROBS
CONFINED TO INTERIOR WHERE BEST CHC FOR SEVERE. WIND FIELD
DECREASING THIS AFTERNOON WITH WINDS THROUGH 500 MB DECREASING TO
LESS THAN 25 KTS RESULTING IN A WEAKLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT. SO DO
NOT EXPECT AN ORGANIZED MULTICELLUAR SEVERE EVENT. THIS WILL BE MORE
OF A PULSE ENVIRONMENT WITH LARGE HAIL THE PRIMARY THREAT GIVEN COLD
TEMPS ALOFT. USED SREF CAPE PROBS TO DELINIATE AREA OF ENHANCED
WORDING...MAINLY WEST OF MHT-SFZ.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
TONIGHT...GFS HIGHLY UNSTABLE...ESP S COAST. WE COULD SEE CLUSTERS
OF NEAR SVR STG TSTMS S COAST MOVING NEWD INTO RI/SE MASS DURING THE
NIGHT? NOT THE USUAL STATE OF CONVECTIVE AFFAIRS HERE BUT THERE IS
DEEPENING SSW FLO ALL LVLS WITH LOTS OF CAPE...A HINT OF AN 850
JET...ALBEIT WEAK. COULD BE A LONG DAY/NIGHT.

FRI...LOOKS VERY UNSTABLE E MASS BUT THERE MAY BE SOME DRYING ALOFT AND
THAT COULD LIMIT THE POTENTIAL FOR SVR STORMS. 00Z/7 GFS BUFKIT OUTPUT
SUGGESTS FRI A BIGGER DAY THAN TODAY. WELL DEAL WITH TOMORROWS
THREAT LATER TODAY BUT ALREADY WEVE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO HAVE GUSTY
WINDS AND SMALL HAIL IN THE FCST...COULD BE ONGOING IN THE MORNING
ERN MASS.

TEMP FCST IS 00Z/7 GFS MAVMOS GUIDANCE. WIND FCST A 50/50 BLEND OF
00Z/7 NAM GFS MOS. CLOUD FCST A 50/20/30 BLEND OF 00Z/7 GFS
MOSGUIDANCE/GFS AND NAM RH ALGS. GUSTS DRIVEN BY THE 00Z/7 NAM MXG HT
CALCULATIONS AND GFS WIND GUST ALG.

HYDRO: PLS NOTE...CT RVR VALLEY COUNTIES APPEAR VULNERABLE TO FLASH
FLOODING IF THERE IS TRAINING OR REPEATED SLOW MOVING CONVECTION
NEXT 30 HOURS. NO FLOOD WATCH ATTM DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN PLACEMENT
BUT WE HOPE THERE IS ENOUGH WORDING IN OUR MANY PRODUCTS TO HIGHLIGHT
OUR CONCERNS. THAT WOULD BE POINT/CLICK AND THE HWO.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

SATURDAY...
THE COLD POOL ALOFT REMAINS OVERHEAD BUT OUR LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
LOOKS TO MIX OUT WITH DEWPOINTS FALLING INTO THE 50S.
THEREFORE...MAINLY EXPECTING A DRY DAY WITH PERHAPS AN ISOLATED
SHOWER OR TWO DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING.  WILL JUST RUN WITH A 15
TO 20 POP TO COVER THIS POTENTIAL FOR NOW...BUT OVERALL IT LOOKS
LIKE A PARTLY SUNNY AND MAINLY DRY DAY.  HIGHS SHOULD TOP OUT IN THE
UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S.

SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...
THE MODELS ARE NOW SHOWING A FAIRLY SIMILAR SOLUTION ON SUNDAY.
UPPER TROUGH SENDS OUT SOME SHORTWAVE ENERGY.  THIS COMBINED WITH
THE COLD AIR ALOFT SHOULD TRIGGER SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON OR NIGHT.  THIS LOOKS TO OCCUR FIRST
ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND THEN THE ACTIVITY SHOULD MAKE ITS WAY TO THE
COASTAL PLAIN.  THE MODELS DIFFER ON THE TIMING. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
RETURN IS MARGINAL BUT MID LEVEL WIND FIELDS LOOK DECENT.
THEREFORE...IF WE CAN GET ENOUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BACK ALONG WITH
SURFACE HEATING THERE WILL BE THE THREAT FOR SCATTERED SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS.  THIS REMAINS UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME AND WILL JUST
HAVE TO SEE HOW THINGS EVOLVE OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS.  FOR NOW WILL
GO WITH CHANCE POPS BUT GO WITH HIGH CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE
INTERIOR.  LATER SHIFTS MAY HAVE TO UPGRADE TO LIKELY POPS FOR
PORTIONS OF THE REGION IF MODELS STAY ON TRACK.

MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
PRETTY JUST POPULATED WITH THE GFS MOS GUIDANCE TO HELP OUT WITH ON
GOING SEVERE WEATHER.  THERE IS THE THREAT OF A DECENT ROUND OR TWO OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME.
MODELS DIFFER ON TIMING AND DID NOT GET TO REALLY LOOK AT IT TO MUCH
BECAUSE OF ON GOING WEATHER.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
TODAY...PLS SEE TAFS FOR THE EVOLVING DETAILS. MVFR CIGS EASTERN
TERMINALS SHOULD GRADUALLY LIFT TO VFR BY EARLY AFTERNOON...BUT AREAS
OF MVFR MAY PERSIST AT BOS/PVD/FMH.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE VCTS AND CB IN PORTIONS OF THE TAF. THERE IS
LITTLE DOUBT THAT CONVECTION IS GOING TO CAUSE AIR TRAVEL DISRUPTIONS
IN PARTS OF OUR FCST AREA THIS AFTN AND TONIGHT. PLS SEE LATER
DISCUSSIONS FROM KBOX AND SPC AS WELL AS RADAR TRENDS. AM COUNTING ON
SFC WIND GUSTS 30-40 KTS AT A COUPLE OF TAF LOCATIONS WITH
HAIL...BDL/BAF/ORH/PVD ARE THE PRIME TARGET TAF SITES.

MORNING IFR/LIFR CEILINGS SHOULD IMPROVE TO MVFR OR VFR BY 15-16Z BUT
BRIEFLY IFR IN CONVECTION THIS AFTN.

TONIGHT...CIGS BCMG MVFR OR IFR IN WEAK SLY FLOW WITH SCT
TSTMS...ESP BOS/PVD/BDL/ORH.

FRI...VFR EXCEPT MVFR/IFR IN SCT SHWRS/TSTMS.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

VFR LIKELY ALTHOUGH THERE COULD BE BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS IN SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS AS WELL AS PATCHY GROUND FOG IN THE
TYPICALLY PRONE LOCATIONS.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS AND SEAS REMAINED GENERALLY BLO SCA LIMITS THROUGH FRI...HOWEVER
MARINERS SHOULD BE ALERT FOR LIGHTNING STRIKES AND SW WIND GUSTS TO
35 KTS THIS AFTN PYM NORTHWARD TO THE MERR RVR AND NARR BAY.

TONIGHT THE SSW GUST 35-4O KTS AND LIGHTNING STRIKE RISK SHOULD SHIFT
TO BUZZARDS BAY W TO BID AND WST AS WELL AS NARR BAY IN THE CW BUZZARDS
BAY.

FRI...MUCH OF THE MASS COAST PYM HAS A PRETTY GOOD RISK FOR SCT TSTMS
AND GUSTS IN STORMS OF 30-40 KTS.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

LOOKS RATHER TRANQUIL AS SEAS SHOULD REMAIN IN THE 1 TO 4 FOOT RANGE
WITH SUSTAINED WINDS GENERALLY LESS THAN 15 KNOTS. HOWEVER...MARINERS
WILL HAVE TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WHICH COULD BRING LOCALLY HIGHER WINDS AND
SEAS ALONG WITH AN ATTENDANT LIGHTNING THREAT.
