AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
835 PM EDT MON AUG 18 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT...PUSHING
OFF THE COAST TOMORROW MORNING. LARGE HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN
FOLLOW...TRACKING OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES...THEN REMAINING OVER NEW
ENGLAND THROUGH SATURDAY. A COLD FRONT MAY APPROACH DURING SUNDAY OR
MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
CURRENTLY REASSESSING FORECAST TO INCREASE POPS FOR TONIGHT. SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS WERE CROSSING TOWARDS/INTO SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND
WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AS OF 830 PM. MLCAPE AROUND 1000 J/KG IN THAT
AREA. BUT ALSO OF CONCERN IS A FORMIDABLE QUANTITY OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE FRONT TO OUR NORTH. EXPECT TO SEE AT LEAST
SOME LEFTOVERS FROM THE MCS ACTIVITY TO REACH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
LATER TONIGHT. PLAN TO INCREASE POPS TO AT LEAST CHANCE FOR MOST OF
INTERIOR AS WELL AS NORTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS. MORE TO FOLLOW SHORTLY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
THE COLD FRONT WILL NOT START ITS TREK THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
UNTIL LATE MONDAY NIGHT/EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.  THE ASSOCIATED UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH ALSO MOVES ACROSS NEW ENGLAND TUESDAY PROVIDING PLENTY
OF MID LEVEL LIFT TO SUSTAIN ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT
DEVELOP ON THE FRONT/S LEADING EDGE.  LOOKING AT THE MODELS...THERE
ACTUALLY DOESN/T APPEAR TO BE THAT MUCH INSTABILITY TUESDAY.  THE
BEST LOOKING AREAS FOR THUNDERSTORMS AND ONE OR TWO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS IS ALONG THE SOUTH COAST OF RI AND MA WHERE BOTH ML
CAPE AND SB CAPE ARE ABOVE 1000 J/KG.  ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE CWA...
LATEST MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW A CAPPED ATMOSPHERE SO WHILE WE CANNOT
COMPLETELY RULE OUT A THUNDERSTORM OR TWO...THEY WILL BE VERY
ISOLATED.

TUESDAY NIGHT...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD MOVE OUT OF THE
AREA AND/OR DIMINISH BY 8 PM.  THEN HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD IN
AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE APPROACHES THE AREA.  SHOULD BE A QUIET
NIGHT WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES SHIFTING TO CLEAR SKIES BY THE END OF
THE NIGHT.  TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL BE COOLER WITH
LOWS DROPPING INTO THE LOWER TO MID 50S ACROSS THE INTERIOR WITH MID
TO UPPER 50S ALONG THE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
FOR WEDNESDAY...UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EXITS WHILE SURFACE HIGH BUILDS
EAST. NORTHWEST WINDS KEEP A COOL AIRMASS OVER THE AREA...WITH BELOW
NORMAL HIGHS IN THE 70S. CLEAR SKIES WILL ALLOW FOR GOOD RADIATIONAL
COOLING WED NIGHT...SENDING TEMPERATURES INTO THE MID AND UPPER 40S
IN RURAL LOCALES ACROSS THE INTERIOR.

WARMER AIR WRAPS INTO THE AREA ON THU WITH UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
BUILDING INTO THE NORTHEAST U.S. AND BROAD SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINING AS WELL. NET RESULT FOR THU THROUGH SAT WILL BE DAYTIME
HIGHS IN THE 80S WITH ONLY A SLOW INCREASE IN HUMIDITY THROUGH EARLY
THIS WEEKEND.

GFS AND ECMWF INDICATING THE UPPER RIDGE BREAKING DOWN SOMETIME SUN
OR MON...WITH A COLD FRONT CROSSING THROUGH THE AREA. THERE ARE
DIFFERENCES IN TIMING. WITH INCREASING MOISTURE ANTICIPATED AHEAD OF
THE FRONT...CHANCE SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. CONTINUED WITH CHANCE POPS
FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST...FOR SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON...VFR.

TONIGHT...MAINLY VFR.  OCCASIONAL MVFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS NORTHWEST OF A MHT-ORH-BAF LINE.

TUESDAY...VFR WITH SCATTERED MVFR CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING IN THE WEST AND MOVING EASTWARD.  CAPE AND
ISLANDS SHOULD STAY DRY UNTIL MIDDAY.

TUESDAY NIGHT...VFR AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

OUTLOOK /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...

WED THROUGH SAT...VFR...EXCEPT PATCHY MVFR FOG TOWARDS DAYBREAK EACH
MORNING.

&&

.MARINE...
THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...WINDS AND SEAS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA.

TUESDAY...SW WIND GUSTS UP TO 20KT POSSIBLE NEAR SHORE WITH A WIND
SHIFT TO THE NW EXPECTED IN THE AFTERNOON.  SEAS WILL NEAR 5 FEET IN
THE OUTER COASTAL WATERS.  HOWEVER...IT IS FOR A VERY BRIEF PERIOD
OF TIME.  AM NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH IN SEAS REACHING 5 FEET TO ISSUE A
SMALL CRAFT AT THIS TIME.

TUESDAY NIGHT...SEAS REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA.  NW WINDS
WILL GUST TO NEAR SCA CRITERIA /20-25KTS/ IN COLD AIR ADVECTION.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

WINDS MAY APPROACH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA ON WED WITH COLD
AIR ADVECTION AND NW FLOW.  AT THIS TIME...WIND GUSTS TO 20 KTS ARE
EXPECTED.   OTHERWISE TRANQUIL WINDS AND SEAS ON THE COASTAL WATERS
THROUGH SAT.
