AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1026 PM EST FRI MAR 7 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A SERIES OF WEAK DISTURBANCES EXPECTED DURING MIDWEEK...BUT DRY
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL. A MORE SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION EVENT MAY
OCCUR LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
CURRENT FORECAST MATCHING UP WELL WITH LATEST OBSERVATIONS AND RADAR
TRENDS. THEREFORE...NOT MANY CHANGES PLANNED TO TONIGHT/S FORECAST.

REVIEWED 18Z GFS/15Z SREF AND NEW 00Z NAM...AND TONIGHT/S WEATHER
THEME REMAINS THE SAME - WIDESPREAD RAINFALL OF 0.50 INCHES WITH A
SWATH OF 1-1.25 INCHES FROM EASTERN CT INTO RI AND NORTHEAST INTO
METRO BOSTON. THIS INITIAL SURGE OF RAINFALL TONIGHT NOT EXPECTED TO
INDUCE ANY RIVER OR STREAM FLOODING...HOWEVER MINOR POOR DRAINAGE AND
URBAN FLOODING EXPECTED OVERNIGHT.

NEXT BATCH OF HEAVY RAIN SETTING UP ACROSS COASTAL NJ AND LONG ISLAND
AT 1015 PM. THIS IS ON THE NOSE OF A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET AND
ASSOCIATED PRES FALL CENTER /6MB FALL PAST 3 HRS OVER LI/. LATEST OKX
VAD WIND PROFILE DATA INDICATING 55 KT SOUTHERLY JET AT 925 MB.
EXPECTING THIS AREA OF ENHANCED RAINFALL TO MOVE UP I95 CORRIDOR OF
CT/RI AND EASTERN MA NEXT SEVERAL HOURS.

RAIN WILL TAPER OFF TO DRIZZLE FROM WEST TO EAST LATER TONIGHT...SAY
1 AM TO 4 AM WEST PORTIONS OF CT AND MA...THEN 4 AM TO 7 AM RI AND EASTERN
MA.

PERIOD OF INCREASED WINDS LATER TONIGHT ACROSS THE ISLANDS OF BID/MVY AND
ACK...AS LOW LEVEL JET TRAVERSES THE COASTLINE. TIME FRAME FOR
INCREASED WINDS IS FROM 1 AM TO 4 AM WITH SUSTAINED WINDS OF 25 TO 30
MPH.

MESONET DATA INDICATING A FEW ELEVATED LOCATIONS ACROSS NORTHERN
WORCESTER COUNTY INTO CHESHIRE COUNTY OF NH HOVERING AROUND THE
FREEZING MARK. THUS...COULD BE A FEW POCKETS OF FREEZING RAIN HIGHEST
TERRAIN. MODELS INDICATE THIS SUBFREEZING LAYER IS VERY SHALLOW AND
WILL LIKELY MIX OUT OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO AS HEAVIER PRECIP MIXS
WARMER AIR DOWNWARD.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
*** POWERFUL STORM WITH HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG WINDS TO STRIKE
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT AND SATURDAY ***

MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT BRINGING A VIGOROUS SOUTHERN STREAM
TOWARD SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THIS SYSTEM SHOULD MOVE INTO EASTERN NEW
YORK LATE SATURDAY.  THE MAIN HAZARDS WITH THIS SYSTEM CONTINUE TO BE
HEAVY RAIN...WITH POTENTIAL FLOODING. RAINFALL SHOULD ARRIVE IN TWO
BATCHES...THE FIRST THIS EVENING...AND THE SECOND FROM MID MORNING
SATURDAY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WILL CONTINUE THE FLOOD WATCH.

EXPECTING ALL RAIN FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. HOWEVER...THERE IS A
LOW PROBABILITY OF A FEW HOURS OF FREEZING RAIN OR SLEET LATE TONIGHT
ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF SOUTHWEST NH. HAVE DECIDED TO HOLD OFF
ON A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY DUE THE BRIEF NATURE OF THIS THREAT.
HOWEVER..WILL NEED TO MONITOR THIS EVENING.

WE MAY NEED A WIND ADVISORY LATE TONIGHT ALONG THE SOUTH COAST OF RI
AND SOUTHEAST MA AS LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY JET TRAVERSES THIS AREA.
HIGHEST CHANCE OF STRONG WINDS WILL FROM BID-MVY-ACK...AS THIS AREA
SHOULD BE SOUTH OF WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY /WARM SECTOR/ WHERE LOW
LEVEL INVERSION WILL NOT BE AS STEEP...PROMOTING GREATER WIND
TRANSFER FROM ALOFT. AT THE MOMENT STRONG WINDS APPEAR MARGINAL...SO
DECIDED TO HOLD OFF ON ISSUING A WIND ADVISORY. HOWEVER WILL HAVE TO
MONITOR LATEST MODEL TRENDS.

CONVECTION...
CHANCE OF THUNDER THIS EVENING AS LOW LEVEL JET MOVES ACROSS RI AND
SOUTHEAST MA...THEN ANOTHER CHANCE OF THUNDER LATE SATURDAY AS MID LEVEL
LOW APPROACHES.

MOS GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES ARE MUCH TO HIGH SATURDAY...BUT LOOK
REASONABLE TONIGHT. USED NAM 2M TEMPERATURES AS A BASE...BUT TRENDED
UPWARD SLIGHTLY ACROSS SOUTHERN NH DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN THE LOCATION
OF THE SURFACE WARM FRONT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SATURDAY NIGHT...LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK ACROSS FAR WESTERN SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND ALLOWING A COLD FRONT TO SWING THROUGH THE REGION. EVENING
RAIN WILL TAPER OFF TO A FEW SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE INTERIOR
HIGH TERRAIN. OTHERWISE IT WILL TURN RAPIDLY DRIER AND COOLER ACROSS
THE REGION.

WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST THEN WEST AND INCREASE TO 25 TO 30
KT WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 40 AND 45 KT OVERNIGHT. THIS IN RESPONSE TO A
TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BEHIND THE LOW AND AN INFLUX OF DRIER AND
COOLER AIR. A WIND ADVISORY WILL PROBABLY BE NEEDED ACROSS MUCH OF
THE FORECAST AREA. EVEN IF WIND SPEEDS DO NOT QUITE REACH SPECIFIC
CRITERIA...GIVEN THE MOIST GROUND IT PROBABLY WILL NOT TAKE ALL
THAT MUCH WIND TO CAUSE SOME DOWNED TREES AND LIMBS WITH SOME
SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES.

SUNDAY...COLD AND DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL WITH TEMPERATURES
RUNNING A FEW DEGREES BELOW SEASONAL NORMS. A BRISK DAY EXPECTED.
NOTED FAIRLY STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES APPROACHING 10 CELSIUS PER
KM SUNDAY AFTERNOON GIVEN CONTINUED COLD AIR ADVECTION PATTERN. IN
ADDITION FAIRLY HIGH RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES AT 850 MILLIBARS ABOVE
90 PERCENT SEEN ON THE GFS AND NAM ACROSS NORTHERN MASSACHUSETTS.
SURFACE DEW POINTS HOWEVER WILL BE VERY LOW WITH PREVAILING NORTHWEST
FLOW. OVERALL WILL GO WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES ACROSS THE INTERIOR
AND MOSTLY SUNNY ALONG THE SOUTHEASTERN COASTAL PLAIN.

SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...WINDS SLOWLY DIMINISH AS WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE SETTLES OVERHEAD. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE RUNNING
SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONAL NORMS.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...FAIRLY MINOR PERTURBATIONS IN THE
MEAN FLOW AS THE WESTERLIES GENERALLY REMAIN SPLIT AND PROGRESSIVE.
DETAILS ARE SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN GIVEN INDIVIDUAL SHORT WAVE
DISTURBANCES. OVERALL IT SHOULD GENERALLY REMAIN DRY WITH MODERATING
TEMPERATURES BY TUESDAY.

THE 12Z ECMWF HINTS AT A WEAK SHORT WAVE MONDAY NIGHT  WHILE THE GFS
DOES NOT. THIS MAY BE THE FORERUNNER OF SLIGHTLY MILDER AIR. DID NOT
MENTION POPS AT THIS TIME GIVEN LIMITED AVAILABLE MOISTURE.

THE GFS AND ECMWF BOTH INDICATE A NORTHERN SHORT WAVE - ALBERTA
CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM SWINGING THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA TUESDAY NIGHT
AND WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH SOME DIFFERENCES IN INTENSITY AND TRACK.
ADDED A LOW CHANCE POPS SNOW AND OR RAIN SHOWERS GIVEN MOISTURE
POTENTIALLY AVAILABLE ON SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...DRIER AND SOMEWHAT COOLER AIR
EXPECTED AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION.

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...NEXT POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION
EVENT...ALTHOUGH IT CURRENTLY DOES NOT APPEAR AS SIGNIFICANT AS THIS
SATURDAYS EVENT. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY WHETHER PHASING WILL
OCCUR BETWEEN THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN BRANCHES OF THE JET STREAM.
THE GFS AND ECMWF BOTH INDICATE SOME PHASING WILL OCCUR AS THE COLD
FRONT REACHES THE COAST. OVERALL MENTIONED CHANCE POPS.
PRECIPITATION LOOKS TO BE IN THE FORM OF SNOW AND RAIN INLAND AND
MOSTLY RAIN ALONG THE COAST BUT THIS SCENARIO IS UNCERTAIN.
