...DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS FOR SOUTH COASTAL SECTIONS OF RHODE
ISLAND AND MASSACHUSETTS THIS WEEKEND...

.A SECOND CONSECUTIVE WEEKEND OF A TROPICAL RELATED SYSTEM IS

...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM NOON SATURDAY TO
6 PM EDT SUNDAY...

A HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM NOON SATURDAY TO 6 PM
EDT SUNDAY. 

DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS ARE FORECAST TO DEVELOP SATURDAY...
PROBABLY IN THE AFTERNOON...EXTENDING ALONG SOUTHERLY OCEAN
EXPOSED SECTIONS OF NANTUCKET AND MARTHAS VINEYARD TO THE RHODE
ISLAND COAST INCLUDING BLOCK ISLAND. SOUTHERLY SWELLS EXCEEDING
7 FEET ARE LIKELY TO ARRIVE IN THE AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO
SUNDAY WITH A PERIOD OF 9 TO 11 SECONDS.

THESE SWELLS WILL ALSO IMPACT THE EAST SIDE OF OUTER CAPE COD...
POSSIBLY WITH SIGNIFICANT BEACH EROSION ALONG THE CAPE COD
NATIONAL SEASHORE.

WHILE THE PERIOD AND SWELL HEIGHT MAY BE SLIGHTLY LESS ENERGETIC
THAN LAST WEEKEND FOR THE SOUTH COAST...THE IMPACT COULD BE
ALMOST AS DANGEROUS.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE ADVICE OF LOCAL OFFICIALS.

ADDITIONALLY...VIEWERS OF LARGE SURF SHOULD BE IN SAFE AREAS WELL
AWAY FROM POSSIBLE SPLASH OVER. LIVES CAN BE LOST AS ONCE IN A
WHILE... A SEEMINGLY ROGUE WAVE...DOUBLE THE HEIGHT OF THE
HIGHEST THIRD OF THE WAVES...CAN SURPRISE ONLOOKERS. FALLING INTO
THE ROILING AND SOMETIMES ROCKY WATERS CAN RESULT IN INJURY THAT
INCAPACITATES AND REDUCES THE CHANCE OF SURVIVAL.

A RIP CURRENT...SOMETIMES MISTAKENLY CALLED AN UNDERTOW...IS A
STRONG BUT NARROW CURRENT OF WATER FLOWING FROM THE BEACH TO THE
SURF ZONE. IT CAN RAPIDLY CARRY A SWIMMER INTO DEEPER WATER AND
EXHAUST AN INDIVIDUAL TRYING TO SWIM AGAINST IT.

IF YOU ARE A POOR SWIMMER AND ARE CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT...SWIM
PARALLEL TO THE BEACH UNTIL OUT OF ITS PULL.  ANOTHER MEANS OF
ESCAPE FOR THOSE WHO ARE GOOD SWIMMERS IS TO RIDE THE CURRENT OUT
BEYOND THE SURF ZONE WHERE THE RIP CURRENT DISSIPATES...THEN SWIM
TOWARD SHORE OUTSIDE THE EFFECT OF THE NARROW RIP CURRENT.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SWIM BACK TO SHORE DIRECTLY AGAINST THE
CURRENT...IT CAN EXHAUST AND DROWN EVEN THE STRONGEST SWIMMER.

HEED THE ADVICE OF THE BEACH PATROL AND SWIM ONLY AT GUARDED
BEACHES.  WATCH YOUR CHILDREN.  BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS NEAR PIERS
AND JETTIES WHERE RIP CURRENTS CAN BE ENHANCED.

NANTUCKET. 

IN RHODE ISLAND...WASHINGTON...NEWPORT AND BLOCK ISLAND.

LARGE SOUTH SWELLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMAINS OF DANNY WILL IMPACT
OCEAN EXPOSED BEACHES OF THE SOUTHERN MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLAND
TODAY. 

DANGEROUS SURF AND STRONG RIP CURRENTS WILL FORM AS A RESULT OF THESE
LARGE SWELLS. CHECK WITH LOCAL BEACH PATROLS BEFORE ENTERING THE
WATER TODAY...AS SWIMMING RESTRICTION MAY BE PLACE. IN ADDITION...
LARGE WAVES CAN SWEEP A PERSON INTO THE WATER FROM WHAT MAY SEEM TO
BE A SAFE VIEWING AREA. STAY OFF OF ROCKS OR SEA WALLS TO AVOID BEING
SWEPT INTO THE WATER.

A RIP CURRENT...SOMETIMES MISTAKENLY CALLED AN UNDERTOW...IS A
STRONG BUT NARROW CURRENT OF WATER FLOWING FROM THE BEACH TO THE
SURF ZONE. IT CAN RAPIDLY CARRY A SWIMMER INTO DEEPER WATER AND
EXHAUST AN INDIVIDUAL TRYING TO SWIM AGAINST IT.

IF YOU ARE A POOR SWIMMER AND ARE CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT...SWIM
PARALLEL TO THE BEACH UNTIL OUT OF ITS PULL.  ANOTHER MEANS OF
ESCAPE FOR THOSE WHO ARE GOOD SWIMMERS IS TO RIDE THE CURRENT OUT
BEYOND THE SURF ZONE WHERE THE RIP CURRENT DISSIPATES...THEN SWIM
TOWARD SHORE OUTSIDE THE EFFECT OF THE NARROW RIP CURRENT.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SWIM BACK TO SHORE DIRECTLY AGAINST THE
CURRENT...IT CAN EXHAUST AND DROWN EVEN THE STRONGEST SWIMMER.

HEED THE ADVICE OF THE BEACH PATROL AND SWIM ONLY AT GUARDED
BEACHES.  WATCH YOUR CHILDREN.  BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS NEAR PIERS
AND JETTIES WHERE RIP CURRENTS CAN BE ENHANCED.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
449 PM EDT FRI AUG 28 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS SOUTHEAST CANADA WILL RECENTER TO THE CANADIAN
MARITIMES TONIGHT. MEANWHILE NORTHWARD MOVING DISORGANIZED TROPICAL
STORM DANNY SHOULD TURN NORTHEAST TONIGHT...PASSING SOUTHEAST OF
NANTUCKET LATE SATURDAY OR SATURDAY EVENING. PLEASE REFER TO THE
TROPICAL PREDICTION CENTER FOR DETAILS. SUMMER-LIKE WEATHER RETURNS
SUNDAY AS A RELATIVELY DRY COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. THE FORECAST BECOMES UNCERTAIN NEXT WEEK AS A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY STALLS JUST SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND...WITH ITS CLOUD AND RAIN
SHIELD POSSIBLY CLIPPING SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
ALL PRODUCTS WILL POST SHORTLY AFTER TPC ISSUANCE....ABOUT 430-5PM.
PLEASE EXPECT NO NEW PRODUCT ISSUANCES PRIOR TO THE TPC ISSUANCE.

GALE WATCHES AND SCA ARE CONTINUED WHERE MOST POTENTIAL FOR SATURDAY
AND SATURDAY EVENING.

FINALLY...WAITING TIL WHAT RECON AND TPC COLLABORATE AT 4PM...WE
ARE DELAYING HIGH SURF ADVY FOR S COAST... BUT A CF STATEMENT IS
BEING ISSUED SHORTLY FOR THE VIRTUAL CERTAINTY OF HIGH SURF AND
DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS SAT AFTN INTO SUNDAY. IF EVENTUALLY TROP STORM
WATCHES/WARNINGS WERE/ARE ISSUED FOR THE LAND AREAS OF SE NEW
ENGLAND THEN THIS WOULD SUPERSEDE OUR CFW FOR HIGH SURF AND THEN ONCE
THOSE WATCHES/WARNINGS ...IF ISSUED...WERE DISCONTINUED...WED HAVE
TO REVERT TO THE CFW FOR HIGH SURF. SO... KEEPING IT SIMPLE...WE GO
WITH A CFS FOR NOW...BUT BE PREPARED FOR DANGEROUS SWIMMING CONDITIONS
SAT AFTN INTO SUNDAY S COASTAL NEW ENGLAND.

BE SMART ON THIS... LIVES ARE LOST WHEN VIEWING DANGEROUS SURF...
WED PREFER FOLLOWING ALL LOCAL OFFICIAL REALITIES. REALIZE THE
FORECAST SURF CAN BE ONCE IN A WHILE...TWICE AS HIGH AS PREDICTED.
MORE DETAILS THIS AFTN...AND AGAIN THIS IS ALL A PROJECTION.

WE ARE ISSUING A FLOOD WATCH AT 4PM.

AGAIN...PLEASE GIVE US THE TIME TO CONSTRUCTIVELY COMPOSE AND
PROJECT IMPACT ON OUR AREA.

PAST OVERNIGHT PERFORMANCE: 00Z GGEM WAS BY FAR THE BEST IN QPF FCST
EARLY THIS MORNING.../RGEM OVERDONE WITH 2.93 BY 12Z TODAY BUT AXIS
CORRECT/ WITH AT LEAST 1.25 INCHES OF RAIN IN SE PA. THE 00Z GEFS AND
03Z SREF PROBABILITIES FOR .05 AND .01 AS WELL AS MEAN AREAL QPF JUST
DID NOT MUSTER ANYTHING CLOSE TO THE GGEM - REALITY. AMOUNTS IN SE PA
CENTRAL NJ AND VCNTY DCA WELL OVER 1 INCH. MAY BE FORECASTING THAT
TREND THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIODS IN FUTURE FCST ISSUANCES.

RADAR ESTIMATES...PHL RADAR N OF PH LOOKS SUPERB ON OUTPUT. STILL NO
REPORTS AS OF 8AM ON THE 6-8 INCH STPS IN NE MD. ONE LSR REPORT OUT
OF STERLING.

REMAINING HYDRO PLS SEE HYDRO SECTION...INCLUDING OUR VIEW OF THE
PRE.

PLEASE DO NOT DISCOUNT THE OPTION FOR 40 KNOT GUSTS HERE SATURDAY
DESPITE THE TROPICAL ENVELOPE TRACK OF DANNY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
FOR THE SHORT TERM...THE FORECAST IS ALMOST ENTIRELY DEPENDANT UPON
THE TRACK/INTENSITY OF TROPICAL STORM DANNY.  DANNY IS STILL QUITE
DISORGANIZED.  THE LATEST FORECASTS FROM TPC HAVE DANNY MOVING JUST
EAST OF NANTUCKET LATE SATURDAY.

ASIDE FROM DANNY...THERE IS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE GREAT
LAKES THAT MAY INTERACT WITH DANNY AS THEY BOTH APPROACH THE
NORTHEAST U.S.  SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY ACROSS SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND AHEAD OF DANNY/S APPROACH TO THE AREA THIS EVENING INTO
SATURDAY.  THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A PREDECESSOR RAINFALL EVENT
/PRE/.  PLEASE REFER TO THE HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW FOR MORE
INFORMATION.

LATE SATURDAY DANNY IS PREDICTED TO MAKE ITS CLOSEST APPROACH TO
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  WITH THE CURRENT FORECAST TRACK/INTENSITY...
DANNY WILL BE A TROPICAL STORM AS IT MOVES PAST.  TPC HAS NOTICED A
LACK OF TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE
STORM.  WHILE THIS COULD CHANGE BEFORE DANNY GETS CLOSE TO SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND...WE ARE FOCUSING ON HEAVY RAINFALL BEING THE MAIN
THREAT THROUGH SATURDAY.  PLENTY OF TROPICAL MOISTURE AVAILABLE WITH
PWATS AROUND 2 INCHES.  HAVE BLENDED THE LATEST HPC QPF WITH LAST
NIGHTS RFC QPF RUN.  THIS RESULTED IN A TOTAL QPF FOR FRIDAY NIGHT
AND SATURDAY OF 2 TO 3 INCHES.  ANYTHING THAT FALLS AFTER SUNDAY 00Z
WOULD NEED TO BE ADDED TO THAT TOTAL.

FOR TEMPERATURES...FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BE WARMER WITH HIGHER
DEWPOINTS...RAINFALL...AND COMPLETE CLOUD COVER.  HOWEVER...LOWS
WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 50S TO THE MID 60S.  SATURDAY...WILL BE
HUMID BUT HIGHS WILL BE PLEASANT IN THE LOWER 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SUNDAY...
MID LEVEL MEAN TROF AXIS AND ATTENDING SURFACE COLD FRONT MOVING
ACROSS THE REGION. GFS SUGGEST ENOUGH MOISTURE LEFTOVER BEHIND DANNY
FOR CONVECTION /POSSIBLY STRONG/ TO FIRE SUNDAY ALONG AND AHEAD OF
THE FRONT. THE UKMET HAS SOME LINGERING MOISTURE OVER RI AND
SOUTHEAST MA WITH CONVECTION FIRING THERE IN THE AFTN. THE NAM/ECMWF
AND GGEM ALL INDICATE DRY AIR ALOFT WILL LIKELY BE TOO DEEP TO
SUPPORT CONVECTION. THEREFORE WE UNDERCUT GFS MOS POPS FROM CHANCE
TO SLIGHT CHANCE. SO EXPECTING THERE WILL BE MANY HOURS OF DRY
WEATHER SUNDAY WITH ANY CONVECTION ISOLATED IN COVERAGE.

IT WILL FEEL VERY SUMMER-LIKE SUNDAY WITH DEW PTS IN THE 60S AND
TEMPS LIKELY IN THE 80S WITH AT LEAST PARTIAL SUNSHINE. A FAIRLY
NICE BEACH DAY...HOWEVER THE OCEAN WILL LIKELY REMAIN ROUGH GIVEN
THE RECENT PASSAGE OF DANNY. THUS OCEAN BEACHES WITH SOUTH EXPOSURE
WILL LIKELY BE DEALING WITH ROUGH SURF AND WIDESPREAD RIPS.

MONDAY...
COLD FRONT MOVES OFFSHORE WITH POST FRONTAL AIRMASS OVERSPREADING
THE REGION. THIS WILL RESULT IN LOWER HUMIDITY AND SEASONABLY WARM
TEMPERATURES.

TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
FORECAST BECOMES HIGHLY UNCERTAIN AS MODELS DIFFER ON HOW FAR NORTH
MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH AN OFFSHORE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. MODELS AGREE
ON DEPTH AND LOCATION OF CLOSED MID LEVEL LOW OVER THE OH VLY TUE
WITH CONFLUENT FLOW ACROSS NEW ENGLAND...KEEPING US DRY WITH
SUBSIDENCE THROUGH THE COLUMN. THEREFORE WE UNDERCUT GFS MOS POPS
TUE AND TUE NIGHT.

BY WED AND ESPECIALLY THU THE NORTHERN BRANCH OF JET LIFTS NORTH
INTO CANADA ALLOWING MOISTURE AND FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO LIFT NORTHWARD
INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AROUND EAST SIDE OF MID LEVEL LOW. AS A
RESULT WE FOCUSED POPS FROM LATER WED INTO THU.

FOR FRI...MID LEVEL LOW OR AN OPEN WAVE WILL LIKELY BE MOVING ACROSS
THE REGION. THUS A CHANCE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS ESPECIALLY DURING THE
DAYLIGHT HOURS WITH COOL POOL ALOFT.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
TODAY...MAINLY VFR. COULD SEE SOME MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN -SHRA/TSRA
MOVING INTO NORTHERN CONNECTICUT AND SOUTHWESTERN MASS LATE. SEA
BREEZES EARLY IN THE DAY AT BOS/PVD.

TONIGHT...CONDITIONS MAY DETERIORATE TO IFR IN SHOWERS AND HEAVY
RAIN PARTICULARLY AFTER MIDNIGHT.  CHANCE OF TSRA.

SATURDAY...MVFR/IFR CIGS LIKELY IN RA.  POSSIBLE TROPICAL STORM
CONDITIONS...PARTICULARLY CAPE AND ISLANDS. ENE WINDS 18 G35 KTS BOS
AND ESE WINDS 20 G38 KTS FMH HYA AND ACK....TROPICAL GUSTS OR NOT.

OUTLOOK /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

SUNDAY...VFR WITH A LOW PROB OF MVFR IN AN ISOLATED AFTN SHOWER/TSTM.

MONDAY AND TUE...VFR

WED...VFR LIKELY TRANSITIONING TO MVFR AS RAIN SHIELD APPROACHES
FROM THE SOUTH.

&&

.MARINE...
HEADLINE ISSUANCES TROPICAL GALE AND SCA WILL BEGIN AT 11AM.

FCST SEAS AND GUSTS WERE INCREASED A BIT TODAY IN OUR 635 AM UPDATE.

A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS LIKELY FOR TONIGHT... PARTICULARLY ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN WATERS. DID NOT WANT TO COMPLICATE ANY TROPICAL STORM
ISSUANCES FOR SATURDAY QUITE YET. THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY
IN REGARDS TO THE STRENGTH OF DANNY. PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST
STATEMENTS FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER FOR THE LATEST
INFORMATION.

SREF HAS AT 15 PCP PROB OF GALES SATURDAY....A GOOD SIGNAL FOR
SQUALL GUSTS OF 35-40 KNOTS FOR SEVERAL HOURS. OUR NAM MXG ALG OFFERS
GUSTS TO 38KTS IN PARTS OF THE SRN WATERS AT 12Z SATURDAY.

OUTLOOK /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

SUNDAY...LEFTOVER SOUTHERLY SWELL. WIND SHIFT FROM SW TO NW AS DRY
COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE REGION.

MONDAY AND TUE...QUIET WEATHER WITH HIGH PRES BUILDING INTO THE REGION.

WED...HIGH PRES DRIFTS INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND WITH A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND DRIFTING NORTH. RAIN COULD SPREAD INTO
THE SOUTHERN WATERS. OTHERWISE NO CONCERNS REGARDING WIND AND WAVES.

.HYDROLOGY...
FCST UPDATE 315 PM: FLOOD THREAT STARTING LATE THIS EVENING N
CT...THEN ALONG THE I95 CORRIDOR RI/MA LATE TONIGHT AND SAT.

FFG VALUES 3 INCHES IN 1 HOUR AND 4 TO 4.5 INCHES IN 3 HOURS...LESS
FOR URBAN AREAS.  ENOUGH SIGNALS IN MODELS FOR CONCERN OF POTENTIAL
1 TO 3 INCH QUASI PRE EXTENDING INTO NORTHERN CT THIS EVENING...MM5
SHOWS SIGNIFICANT QPF AS WELL. BELIEVE THAT LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE
POSSIBLE...THERE IS A CHANCE OF EXCEEDING FFG IN THAT AREA...MAIN
THREAT URBAN FF. LATE PM/EARLY EVE PRECIP SHOULD SERVE TO SATURATE
GROUND. PLAN TO START FFA LATE THIS EVENING THERE.

FOR RI/EASTERN THIRD OF MA ...RAINS MORE DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH
DANNY BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING LATER TONIGHT THRU SAT. TOTAL
QPF /INCLUDING TONIGHT/ SHOULD BRING A 3 TO 5 INCH AXIS OF HEAVIEST
RAIN ALONG I95 CORRIDOR ONTO THE CAPE...AND WEST INTO NORTHEAST CT.
LOCALIZED HIGHER TOTALS WILL BE POSSIBLE. MAY NEED TO EXPAND WATCH
INTO MHT/FIT AT A LATER POINT.

CURRENT NERFC FORECASTS ARE BASED ON 3 TO 5 INCH QPF ACROSS THE
EASTERN 2/3 OF OUR AREA SPREAD OVER A 12 TO 18 HOUR PERIOD...LESS TO
THE WEST. STRONG RISES WILL OCCUR ON AREA TRIBUTARIES. CURRENT NERFC
FORECAST BRINGS PAWTUXET TO MINOR FLOOD AT CRANSTON...AND ACTION
