AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
816 AM EDT THU JUL 2 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND ITS ASSOCIATED FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL RESULT IN UNSETTLED WEATHER THROUGH FRIDAY.  YET
ANOTHER UPPER LOW WILL DROP SOUTHWARD FROM CANADA LATE SATURDAY
MOVING TO THE EAST SUNDAY.  THE GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN MAY TURN A
LITTLE DRIER EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 815 AM...NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WERE
AFFECTING NORTHERN MA INTO SOUTHERN NH WITH AREAS OF MODERATE TO
HEAVY RAIN.  IN ADDITION...A SOLID LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS RHODE ISLAND WERE LIFTING NORTHEAST.  THIS ACTIVITY WILL MOVE
THROUGH EASTERN MA BETWEEN 830 AM AND 10 AM...INCLUDING THE BOSTON
METROPOLITAN AREA.  THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTAIN VERY HEAVY RAINFALL
AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.  IN ADDITION...SOME FLOODING
WILL OCCUR PARTICULARLY IN URBANIZED AREAS.  FORECAST WILL BE
UPDATED TO HANDLE THIS DEVELOPING SITUATION.

THE LATEST WATER VAPOR LOOP INDICATED A SHORT WAVE DISTURBANCE
LOCATED NEAR WILMINGTON DELAWARE. THIS WILL BE TRACKING STEADILY
NORTHEAST THIS MORNING ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. EXTRAPOLATION
BRINGS THIS SHORT WAVE EAST OF THE AREA BY 18Z.

EXPECT NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP THIS MORNING AS
THE SHORT WAVE CROSSES THE AREA. DECENT MID LEVEL CAPE AND SHEAR
NOTED AHEAD OF THE SHORT WAVE. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ALSO RISING
TO AROUND 1.75 G/KG. POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR GUSTY WINDS...SMALL HAIL
AND HEAVY RAINFALL WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BECOME LESS NUMEROUS AS THE SHORT
WAVE DEPARTS THIS AFTERNOON...PRIOR TO THE NEXT APPROACHING SHORT WAVE.

USED A BLEND OF COOLER MET GUIDANCE NORTH AND WARMER MAV GUIDANCE
SOUTH TODAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
A SECOND SHORT WAVE DISTURBANCE NOTED OVER DETROIT MICHIGAN WILL HEAD
INTO THE REGION BETWEEN 00Z AND 06Z TONIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW A COLD
FRONT TO MAKE SOME PROGRESS INTO THE AREA.

MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED THIS EVENING AHEAD OF
THE COLD FRONT. IF THE WARM FRONT REACHES NORTHERN CONNECTICUT...RHODE
ISLAND AND SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS...FAVORABLE LOW LEVEL
INSTABILITY COULD IMPROVE CHANCES FOR POTENTIALLY SEVERE STORMS.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FRIDAY...LOW PRESSURE SURFACE AND ALOFT LIFTS NORTH OF NEW ENGLAND
FRIDAY SWINGING A COLD FRONT THROUGH DURING THE PROCESS. COLD POOL
ALOFT MOVES IN DURING THE DAY WITH -14C AT 500 MB BY LATE AFTERNOON.
MODEL CAPES ARE FORECAST AT 500-1000 JOULES...AND ANY SUNSHINE WILL
FURTHER DESTABILIZE THE AIRMASS. EXPECT ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHOWERS/THUNDER...LIKELY PULSE STORMS...WITH POTENTIAL FOR HAIL AND
GUSTY WINDS. SPC HAS US IN A SEE TEXT NOTATION. 850 TEMPS AT
11-12C...MIXING SHOULD BRING US TO MAX TEMPS OF 75 TO 80.

SATURDAY...ANOTHER UPPER LOW SWINGS ACROSS NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY WITH
A 100 KNOT UPPER JET CORE PASSING JUST SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND...AND
WITH SECTIONS IN THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF THIS JET. A REINFORCING SHOT
OF COLD AIR ALOFT WITH THE 00Z ECMWF BRINGING -18C AT 500 MB...THE
NAM HAS -20C AT THE CORE. EVEN IF -20C IS NOT REALIZED THERE IS
SUFFICIENT COLD AIR ALOFT TO AGAIN DESTABILIZE THE COLUMN...AND WITH
ANY SURFACE HEATING THIS WOULD ONLY INTENSIFY THE INSTABILITY.
ALTHOUGH SURFACE DEWPOINTS ARE FORECAST COLDER THAN PREVIOUS
DAYS...THE AIR ALOFT REMAINS MOIST AND THE GROUND SHOULD STILL BE WET
FROM RECENT RAIN. MOISTURE...INSTABILITY...DYNAMICS.  THIS SHOULD BE
ENOUGH FOR SCATTERED CONVECTION IN MOST OF OUR AREA AND ESPECIALLY
ALONG AND NORTH OF THE MASS PIKE.

SUNDAY...THE UPPER LOW AND COLD POOL MOVE OFF BY SUNDAY MIDDAY.
OVERALL THIS LOOKS TO BE A MORE STABLE DAY WITH MORE SUNSHINE AND
GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS. 850 TEMPS AROUND 10C SHOULD SUPPORT MAX
TEMPS IN THE MID AND UPPER 70S.

MONDAY TO WEDNESDAY...MODEL AGREEMENT SEEMS IN TATTERS EARLY NEXT
WEEK. WE LEANED TOWARD THE ECMWF. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE FOR
MONDAY...SO DRY WEATHER. ANOTHER UPPER LOW APPROACHES TUESDAY...SO WE
WENT WITH CHANCE OF SHOWERS. THEN DRYING AGAIN WEDNESDAY. LITTLE
CONFIDENCE AT THIS TIME RANGE.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
TODAY...LIFR CEILINGS AND VSBYS WILL PERSIST AT KBOS-KORH-KMHT THIS
MORNING WITH SOME IMPROVEMENT TO IFR AND PERHAPS MVFR FOR A TIME THIS
AFTERNOON. ELSEWHERE GENERALLY EXPECT IFR/MVFR CEILINGS AND VSBYS IN
FOG PATCHES. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BECOME LESS NUMEROUS
THIS AFTERNOON. SOME THUNDERSTORMS MAY BRING GUSTY WINDS...HEAVY
RAINFALL AND PERHAPS SMALL HAIL.

TONIGHT...IFR CEILINGS AND VSBYS EAST...MVFR SOUTH AND WEST. EVENING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH FOG PATCHES OVERNIGHT. THUNDERSTORMS
COULD POTENTIALLY BE SEVERE.

OUTLOOK /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
FRIDAY...AREAS OF IFR IN THE EARLY MORNING...THEN IMPROVING TO VFR.
BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN DEVELOPING SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS.

FRIDAY NIGHT...SHOWERS DIMINISH.  AREAS OF IFR IN FOG OVERNIGHT.

SATURDAY...MAINLY VFR...BUT SCT MVFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN LATE DAY
SHOWERS/TSTMS.

SUNDAY AND MONDAY...MAINLY VFR.

&&

.MARINE...

AFTERNOON. WINDS AND SEAS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SCA CRITERIA.
LIGHT EASTERLY SWELL WILL PERSIST. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
BECOMING MORE NUMEROUS THIS MORNING. SEAS NEAR 4 FT ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS.

TONIGHT...LOW VISIBILITIES IN FOG. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WINDS

OUTER WATERS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...THEN DIMINISHING SEAS AND TRANQUIL
CONDITIONS SUN/MON.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES THROUGH THIS EVENING. LOW LEVEL
WARM AIR ADVECTION AND COLD POOL ALOFT WILL PROMOTE THE RISK FOR
MORE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.
