Severe Thunderstorm Warning 238, NWS Boston/Norton, MA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
248 PM EDT SUN AUG 10 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER SOUTHERN ONTARIO WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE
ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY AS IT
TRACKS SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND. DRIER CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN FOR MID
TO LATE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 9 PM THIS EVENING/...
AXIS OF HIGHEST ML CAPE /NEAR 1000/ REMAINS JUST W OF REGION...FROM
EASTERN NY INTO MID ATLANTIC REGION. SO FAR STORMS HAVE BEEN FOCUSED
NEAR HIGHER TERRAIN...ESPECIALLY NEAR BERKSHIRES AND MONADNOCKS...
WITH A FEW ALSO TRYING TO FORM NEAR SEA BREEZE BOUNDARIES ALONG BOTH
E AND E COASTS. POINT LAPS SOUNDINGS STILL SHOW A WEAK CAP IN PLACE
NEAR 700 MB WHICH PARTIALLY EXPLAINS WHY STORMS HAVE HAD A HARD TIME
STRENGTHENING THIS FAR E.

TREND SHOULD BE FOR STORMS TO REMAIN MOST NUMEROUS ACROSS INTERIOR
THROUGH THIS EVENING. STILL HAVE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS
WITH LARGE HAIL...THOUGH MANY OF THE STRONGER STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE
OF PRODUCING PEA SIZED HAIL. DEBRIS CLOUDS STREAMING UP FROM MID
ATLANTIC MAY EVENTUALLY SUPPRESS CONVECTION IN OUR REGION LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ACROSS CT AND WESTERN MA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /9 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
ONCE CONVECTION DIMINISHED THIS EVENING...WE SHOULD HAVE ANOTHER
ROUND TO CONTEND WITH OVERNIGHT. 12Z GFS REMAINS AGGRESSIVE IN
BRINGING CONVECTIVE COMPLEX UP THROUGH CT/RI/SE MA FROM MID ATLANTIC
STATES AS SHORT WAVE ROTATES AROUND UPPER LOW. THIS IS NOT COMPLETELY
SUPPORTED BY 09Z SREFS OR 12Z NAM...BUT BASED UPON LATEST RADAR
TRENDS WE WOULD THINK AT VERY LEAST AN AREA OF SHOWERS/EMBEDDED
THUNDER WILL WORK ITS WAY INTO MUCH OF REGION TONIGHT. THERE IS
PLENTY OF INSTABILITY ALOFT WITH ML CAPE NEAR 1000 AND INCREASING LOW
LEVEL SHEAR TO SUPPORT ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS...ESPECIALLY OVER SE
NEW ENGLAND. WE WILL BRING LIKELY POPS INTO MOST OF REGION LATER THIS
EVENING AND MENTION ISOLATED SEVERE POTENTIAL IN HWO.

ONCE THIS AREA OF CONVECTION HEADS OFFSHORE MON MORNING...WE GET INTO
PERSISTENT E/NE FLOW WHICH SHOULD MAINTAIN CLOUDINESS THROUGH DAY.
DESPITE WHAT LOOKS TO BE A STABILIZING AIRMASS AT SURFACE...APPROACH
OF UPPER LOW AND ITS ASSOCIATED COLD POOL ALOFT SHOULD BE ABLE TO
PRODUCE ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS/STORMS MON AFTERNOON AS ML CAPES
INCREASE TO AROUND 1000 OR SO. ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS CAN ONCE AGAIN
BE EXPECTED WITH HAIL BEING MAIN THREAT.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ANOMALOUSLY STRONG UPPER TROF WILL TRAVERSE THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT.
THERE ARE STILL SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE MODELS WITH THIS
FEATURE...WITH THE ECMWF CONTINUING TO BE THE SLOWEST. A COMPROMISE
BETWEEN THE 00Z OPERATIONAL GFS...GFS ENSEMBLE...AND THE 00Z ECMWF
SEEMS TO BE THE BEST PLAN ATTM. ENOUGH CONFIDENCE EXISTS TO KEEP
LIKELY POPS GOING THROUGH MUCH OF MONDAY NIGHT FOR MOST OF THE REGION
AS STACKED LOW SLOWLY MOVES ACROSS.

A FLATTER FLOW ENSUES ON TUESDAY...BUT CYCLONIC FLOW AND INSTABILITY
WILL ALLOW FOR A CONTINUED CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND ISOLD THUNDERSTORMS.
WENT WITH LOW CHANCE POPS FOR NOW...BUT FEELING IS THAT THEY MAY NEED
TO BE INCREASED A BIT FOR PORTIONS OF THE CWA IN SUBSEQUENT
FORECASTS.

MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT A WEAK SURFACE TROF WILL REMAIN
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND ON WEDNESDAY ALONG WITH 500MB TEMPS AOB
-15C. WENT WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR INSTABILITY-DRIVEN SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FOR WEDNESDAY...BUT IF ENOUGH SURFACE MOISTURE IS
PRESENT...POPS MAY NEED TO BE INCREASED.

THE COLUMN FINALLY DRIES OUT THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AND SHOULD LEAD TO
FAIR CONDITIONS AND WARMING TEMPERATURES.

00Z GLOBAL MODEL SUITE ADVERTISES A BERMUDA HIGH TYPE PATTER
DEVELOPING NEXT WEEKEND...WHICH MAY MEAN A MORE GRADUAL TRANSITION
TO MORE SUMMER-LIKE WEATHER...IE...WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS WITH A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SCATTERED TSTMS WILL BRING LOCAL IFR THROUGH 23Z...MAINLY KBAF/KBDL
AND KORH TERMINAL AREAS. STORMS WILL BE MOST NUMEROUS FROM BERKSHIRES
TO MONADNOCKS AND WORCESTER HILLS WITH SMALL HAIL IN STRONGER STORMS.
ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE WITH LARGE HAIL.

KBOS TAF COLLABORATED WITH CWSU ZBW. EXPECT TSTMS TO REMAIN W OF
TERMINAL AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING...ALTHOUGH ISOLD TSTMS POSSIBLE
W/NW.

TONIGHT...SHOWERS MOVE INTO REGION 02Z CT VALLEY AND 08Z COAST WITH
MVFR CONDITIONS. ISOLATED TSTMS POSSIBLE DUE TO INSTABILITY ALOFT.
POTENTIAL FOR IFR ALONG S COAST BUT NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO INCLUDE
IN KFMH/KHYA/KACK TAFS.

MON...MVFR CEILINGS IN SHOWERS AND SCATTERED TSTMS. IFR POSSIBLE S
COASTAL TERMINALS ESPECIALLY MON AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT FOR MUCH
OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. IMPROVEMENT IS FORECASTED TUE...BUT PERIODS
OF MVFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY. FOR WED AND THU...MAINLY VFR EXPECTED.

&&

.MARINE...
POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED STRONG STORMS TONIGHT INTO MON MORNING AS
ACTIVITY OVER MID ATLANTIC REGION TRACKS INTO SE NEW ENGLAND...WITH
WIND GUSTS TO 40KT POSSIBLE. ADDITIONAL STORMS POSSIBLE MON
AFTERNOON.

OTHERWISE WINDS AND SEAS BELOW SCA INTO MON. INCREASING SE FLOW MAY
BRING SEAS CLOSE TO 5 FT ON OUTER SE WATERS MON AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...
SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ON THE OUTER
WATERS...MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY TUE AS LOW PRESSURE SLOWLY MOVES
AWAY FROM THE REGION. A RETURN TO MORE TRANQUIL CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED LATER TUE THROUGH MIDWEEK.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL TONIGHT INTO MON AS SHOWERS AND
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS MOVE THROUGH REGION. MOST AREAS SHOULD
RECEIVE UP TO ONE INCH...WITH AS MUCH AS 2 INCHES LOCALLY.

ALTHOUGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE NOT ESPECIALLY HIGH...MAINLY
AROUND 1.75 INCHES...LARGER SCALE PATTERN OF ANOMALOUS CLOSED LOW
IS FAVORABLE FOR AN INCREASED LOCALIZED FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL MON
INTO TUE. MAIN AREA OF CONCERN IS ALONG AND N OF MASS PIKE...WHERE
ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS ARE ESPECIALLY MOIST. ANOTHER 1 TO 2 INCHES OF
RAIN MAY FALL LOCALLY MON NIGHT AND TUE.

MINOR URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING CAN BE EXPECTED IN AREAS OF
HEAVIER RAIN. FLOOD WATCHES MAY BE NEEDED IN LATER FORECASTS IF THE
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVIER RAIN INCREASES OVER A LARGE AREA.
