AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
413 PM EDT FRI APR 3 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS TO OUR NORTH TONIGHT AND LINGER ACROSS FAR
NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND SAT. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE
REGION LATER SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO BRING MORE WET WEATHER MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. UPPER
LEVEL LOW PRESSURE WILL KEEP UNSETTLED WEATHER THROUGH MID WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...

LINE OF CONVECTION HAS FILLED IN NICELY ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE
DRY SLOT. NEGATIVELY TILTED MID LEVEL TROF WAS ABLE TO WRAP WARM
CONVEYOR BELT NORTHWEST INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THIS LINE OF TSTMS
WILL MOVE RAPIDLY NORTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION LATE THIS AFTERNOON
WITH THE MAIN IMPACT BEING FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND BRIEF HEAVY
DOWNPOURS. MINOR STREET/POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING IS POSSIBLE...HOWEVER
GIVEN THE FAST FORWARD MOTION OF THIS LINE RAINFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD BE
LIMITED TO 0.50 TO 0.75 INCHES.

AFTER LINE OF CONVECTION EXITS THE REGION DRY SLOT WILL OVERSPREAD
THE REGION RESULTING IN SHOWERS TRANSITIONING TO DRIZZLE AS DEPTH OF DRY
AIR INCREASES FROM TOP DOWN. IN ADDITION...WITH WARM FRONT DRAPED
ACROSS LONG ISLAND SOUND AND EXTENDING EASTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTH
COAST OF RI AND MA...AREAS OF DENSE FOG ARE EXPECTED THIS EVENING
ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS FRONT. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTH OF
THE REGION AROUND 9-11 PM WITH WINDS SHIFTING TO THE SOUTHWEST. THIS
WILL RESULT IN FOG DISSIPATING EXCEPT ALONG THE IMMEDIATE SOUTH
COAST AND ISLANDS...AS WARM SECTOR AND ASSOCIATED HIGH DEW PT AIR
MOVES ACROSS THE CHILLY OCEAN WATERS TO YIELD AREAS OF FOG.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...

VERTICALLY STACKED LOW WILL MEANDER OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND SAT
WITH WARM AIR ALOFT /TROWAL/ ROTATING AROUND THE MID LEVEL
CIRCULATION AND ACROSS NEW ENGLAND. THIS WILL YIELD THE CHANCE OF
SHOWERS SAT ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION...WITH HIGHEST POPS NORTH OVER
MA AND SOUTHERN NH. NOT EXPECTING A WASHOUT SAT BUT THERE WILL BE
SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA.

IT WILL BECOME WINDY ON SAT AS STRONG GRADIENT DEVELOPS.  SOUNDINGS
SUPPORT WEST WIND GUSTS TO 35 KT. WIND SPEEDS APPEAR TO FALL SHORT OF
WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA ALONG WITH WEAK PRES RISES BEHIND DEPARTING
COLD FRONT DURING THE MORNING. THEREFORE WILL HOLD OFF ON ISSUING A
WIND ADVISORY FOR SAT...BUT NEXT SHIFT WILL HAVE TO CLOSELY MONITOR
MODEL TRENDS.

TEMPS WILL BE SEASONABLE SAT WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 50S EXCEPT 40S
ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN GIVEN COLD AIR ALOFT. BRISK WEST WIND WILL
DEFINITELY PROVIDE CHILLY CONDITIONS.

SAT NIGHT...
SHOWER THREAT WILL DIMINISH LATER IN THE EVENING AS MID LEVEL LOW
EXITS INTO THE MARITIMES. DECREASING CLOUDS ALSO EXPECTED AS THE
NIGHT PROGRESSES. HOWEVER BRISK WNW WINDS WILL CONTINUE. CHILLY NIGHT
WITH TEMPS IN THE 30S AND WIND CHILLS IN THE 20S

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SUNDAY...DRY AND MILD CONDITIONS EXPECTED WITH ANTICYCLONIC FLOW
DEVELOPING. EXPECT DIMINISHING WINDS AS THE AREA RESIDES WITHIN A
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE AREA. OVERALL EXPECT A MOSTLY SUNNY AND PLEASANT
SPRING DAY WITH HIGHS IN THE 60S AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE SHORELINE.

MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...NEXT SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION EVENT
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AS THE NEXT COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE OHIO
VALLEY MONDAY. SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO FORM ALONG THE
TRIPLE POINT REGION MONDAY EVENING NEAR NYC. GFS ENSEMBLES AND
OPERATIONAL MODELS SHOW SOME MINOR DIFFERENCES IN TIMING AND LOW
TRACK...BUT STILL ARE IN REMARKABLY GOOD AGREEMENT. THEREFORE WENT
WITH CATEGORICAL POPS.  THE ECMWF AND GFS INDICATE A POTENT LOW
LEVEL SOUTHEASTERLY JET AROUND 70 KT PROVIDING LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE
AND HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER AIR ADVECTING INTO THE AREA MONDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. PACIFIC...SUBTROPICAL AND ATLANTIC MOISTURE
WILL BE CONVERGING ACROSS THE AREA. RAIN WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES. IN
ADDITION TOTAL TOTALS RISING NEAR 50 AND SHOWALTER INDICES NEAR ZERO
HINT AT THE POSSIBILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS.

MAIN CONCERN WILL BE QPF AMOUNTS AND IMPACT ON RIVERS AND STREAMS.
IT CURRENTLY APPEARS A WIDESPREAD BASINWIDE AVERAGE 1.00 TO 1.25
INCHES MAY ACCUMULATE.
WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THE FLOOD POTENTIAL AFTER THE CURRENT
PRECIPITATION EVENT FORECASTED QPF AMOUNTS OF 0.50 TO 1.00 INCH
TODAY AND TONIGHT.

WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS RHODE ISLAND AND
SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS AS PRESSURE FALLS OF 10 MILLIBARS OR MORE
COULD OCCUR BETWEEN 18Z MONDAY AND 00Z TUESDAY AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING LOW.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...CYCLONIC FLOW PREVAILS AS LOW PRESSURE
DEEPENS ACROSS THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY. CLOUDS WILL PERSIST WITH
DIURNAL INSTABILITY SHOWERS EXPECTED. IN FACT THICKNESSES REMAIN
COLD ENOUGH THAT RAIN SHOWERS COULD MIX WITH OR CHANGE TO SNOW
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN
SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN NORMAL.

THURSDAY...ANTICYCLONIC FLOW DEVELOPS AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW
GRADUALLY LIFTS AWAY FROM THE AREA. CURRENTLY EXPECTING SOME
MODERATION IN TEMPERATURE BEFORE THE NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM APPROACHES
FROM THE WEST.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ARCING LINE OF CONVECTION WILL SWEEP ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND FROM
SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST BETWEEN 19Z AND 22Z. LIGHTNING AND HEAVY
DOWNPOURS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT. THE THREAT FOR HAIL AND SFC GUSTS
OVER 30 KNOTS LOOKS MINIMAL AT THIS TIME. OTHERWISE...IFR CONDITIONS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THIS EVENING WITH OCNL IMPROVEMENTS TO
MVFR. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO MVFR THEN VFR LATE TONIGHT.

SATURDAY...VFR/MVFR CIGS WITH SCT SHOWERS AS UPPER LOW PASSES TO THE
NORTH. STRONG WESTERLY WINDS DEVELOPING WITH G30-35 KT POSSIBLE.

OUTLOOK /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...

SUNDAY...VFR. DIMINISHING WINDS.

MONDAY...CIGS LOWERING TO IFR AND VSBY IN MVFR-IFR CATEGORY.
WIDESPREAD RAIN SHOWERS...SOME HEAVY...MOVING FROM W TO E DURING THE
DAY.

TUESDAY...MVFR CIGS. SCATTERED SHOWERS...PROBABLY NOT LOWERING VSBY
TO MVFR.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...
LINE OF TSTMS MOVES THROUGH FROM 4 PM ACROSS BID TO 6 PM ACROSS CAPE
ANN. THEREAFTER VSBYS WILL BE THE MAIN HAZARD WITH VSBYS NEAR ZERO AS
WARM FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTH. VSBYS IMPROVE A BIT AFTER 9-11
PM AS WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH. HOWEVER WARM MOIST AIRMASS BEHIND THE
FRONT WILL RESULT IN VSBYS AROUND 1 MILE IN FOG.

SAT...
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH FROM W TO E DURING THE MORNING. VSBY WILL
IMPROVE WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. WEST WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 20-30
KT WITH UP TO 40 KT LIKELY ACROSS SOUTHERN WATERS. THEREFORE HAVE
ISSUED A GALE WARNING ACROSS THIS AREA.

SAT NIGHT...
WINDS EASE A BIT BUT STILL IN THE 20-30 KT RANGE. GOOD VSBY WITH
ROUGH SEAS OCEAN WATERS ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF BID/MVY AND ACK.

OUTLOOK /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

SUNDAY...W WINDS WILL CONTINUE NEAR SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA THROUGH THE
DAY...THEN SLOWLY DIMINISH AT NIGHT. SEAS SLOWLY SUBSIDING BUT ABOVE
SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA THROUGH THE NIGHT.

MONDAY...STRONG E TO SE WINDS SHOULD BUILD TO STRONG SMALL CRAFT OR
GALE FORCE. SEAS WILL BUILD TO 10 TO 13 FT OVER THE SOUTHEASTERNMOST
WATERS.

TUE...STRONG SMALL CRAFT OR GALE FORCE WINDS WILL CONTINUE...FROM A
SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY DIRECTION. ROUGH SEAS WILL CONTINUE ABOVE 10
FT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
WIDESPREAD RAINFALL HAS BEEN LIMITED TO 0.10 TO 0.25 INCHES THROUGH 2
PM. LINE OF CONVECTION MAY DELIVER AND ADDITIONAL 0.30 TO 0.75
INCHES. OVERALL...WELL BELOW FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE. THEREFORE ANY
FLOODING WILL BE LIMITED TO MINOR STEET/POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING.

LATEST NERFC FORECAST SHOWS SLOW RECESSION ON CONNECTICUT RIVER AT
MIDDLETOWN OVER NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. TODAY/S RAINFALL AND ANY
CONTRIBUTION FROM ITS TRIBUTARIES SHOULD ONLY SLOW RATE OF RECESSION.

REMAINING SNOW MELT IN NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND COMBINED WITH ANOTHER
SHOT OF RAIN...POSSIBLY HEAVY...ON MONDAY...MAY RESULT IN RENEWED
