AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
431 PM EDT FRI AUG 21 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
VERY WARM AND HUMID WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY WITH HURRICANE
BILL PASSING WELL EAST OF NANTUCKET EARLY SUNDAY. FLOODING GUSTY
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF THE INTERIOR...MAINLY EACH
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HIGH SURF AND DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS WILL BE
THE PRIMARY EFFECTS OF HURRICANE BILL ALONG THE COAST THIS WEEKEND
ALONG WITH POSSIBLE HEAVY RAIN SQUALLS SATURDAY NIGHT. NEXT WEEK IS
PROJECTED TO BE SOMEWHAT MORE COMFORTABLE...AND OVERALL MAINLY RAINFREE
FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
PREVIOUS FORECAST LARGELY ON TRACK...AND MINIMAL CHANGES MADE TO
TEMPERATURES AND PRECIPITATION TIMING. WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON
TEMPERATURE TRENDS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES FOR A PORTION OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH ALREADY ISSUED BY SPC.

OTHER HAZARD WITH STORMS WILL BE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING WITH
VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS GIVEN ANOMALOUS PRECIPITABLE WATER AIR MASS.
GIVEN THESE PARAMETERS...WE INCLUDED A MENTION OF GUSTY WINDS AND
HEAVY RAIN WITH TSTMS. THE GREATEST RISK IS LIKELY ACROSS THE CT
RIVER VALLEY.

SURF...
THE FIRST SET OF SWELLS /KNOWN AS THE SWELL FRONT/ FROM HURRICANE
BILL ARRIVED EARLY THIS MORNING AT THE BUOYS JUST SOUTH OF SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND. THESE SOUTHEAST SWELLS OF 2 TO 4 FEET WITH A PERIOD OF
AROUND 15 SECONDS WILL ARRIVE AT AREA BEACHES THIS AFTERNOON. THIS
WILL RESULT IN A BUILDING SURF ALONG WITH RIP CURRENTS BECOMING
STRONGER AND MORE WIDESPREAD BY LATE IN THE DAY...ESPECIALLY AT
OCEAN BEACHES WITH SOUTH AND EAST EXPOSURE ALONG THE SOUTH COAST.
THIS MAY RESULT IN SWIMMING RESTRICTIONS AT SOME BEACHES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
TONIGHT...
MID LEVEL SPEED MAX PROGGED TO LIFT INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
THEREFORE RISK OF STRONG TO SEVERE TSTMS WILL DIMINISH AS THE EVENING
PROGRESSES. HOWEVER WITH THETA-E RIDGE AND PWAT AXIS REMAINING OVER
WESTERN NEW ENGLAND...HEAVY SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED TSTMS ARE POSSIBLE
ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF CT/MA INTO SOUTHWEST NH. ELSEWHERE A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS BUT MOST NUMEROUS WESTERN PORTIONS.

PATCHY FOG WILL RETURN GIVEN HIGH DEW PT AIRMASS.

SATURDAY...
MORE OF THE SAME WITH THETA-E RIDGE AND PWAT AXIS REMAINING OVER
WESTERN NEW ENGLAND. THEREFORE RISK OF HEAVY SHOWERS AND TSTMS
GREATEST ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF CT/MA AND SOUTHWEST NH. ELSEWHERE
SHOWER AND TSTM ACTIVITY SHOULD BE MORE SCATTERED TO PERHAPS JUST
ISOLATED ACROSS RI AND EASTERN MA. WARM AND MUGGY CONDITIONS
CONTINUE.

SURF...
SWELLS FROM BILL WILL INCREASE TO ABOUT 10 FT JUST OFFSHORE YIELDING
DANGEROUS SURF AND RIP CURRENTS AT AREA BEACHES SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
EXPECT SWIMMING RESTRICTIONS OR BEACH CLOSURES THIS WEEKEND...
ESPECIALLY FROM CAPE COD TO THE RHODE ISLAND COAST. IF A TROPICAL
STORM WATCH IS NOT ISSUED FOR A PORTION OF THE COASTLINE LATER
TODAY...THEN A HIGH SURF ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SUNDAY...ANY EARLY MORNING SQUALLS ALONG THE THE COAST DEPART
RAPIDLY ALONG WITH HURRICANE BILLS ENVELOPE OF WIND. THE
AFTERNOON/EVENING MAY SEE POSSIBLE STRONG THUNDERSTORMS AND QUITE A
WARM DAY IN LINGERING TROPICAL MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE. METNAM TEMPS.
50/50 BLEND OF NAM/GFS WINDS/DEWPOINTS. LOW PRES TRIES TO FORM IN SNE.

MONDAY...ANY LOW PRES MAY STILL SERVE AS A LOW PROB CHC OF SHOWERS OTRW
A BIT DRYER AIRMASS SHOULD DEVELOP. 50 50 BLEND OF THE GFS/NAM
WINDS/DEWPOINTS AND MAVMOS TEMPS.

TUESDAY-WED...BASICALLY WLY FLOW AS LOW PRES MOVES ACROSS SE CANADA.
GENERAL CONTINUITY WITH THE 4AM FCST PACKAGE. BLENDED 12Z/21 GFS MOS
WITH THE 4AM KBOX FCST. CFP WED NIGHT MAY SPAWN SHOWERS AND TSTMS
AHEAD OF IT LATE IN THE DAY WED.

THU-FRI...DRY COOLER HIGH PRES SHOULD SETTLE SEWD FROM THE GREAT
LAKES TO SNE.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
KBOS TAF COLLABORATED WITH CWSU ZBW.

1930Z...LINE OF TSTMS SLOWLY ADVANCING INTO WESTERN NEW ENGLAND...
BUT STILL ENOUGH OF A N/NE MOTION TO KEEP US CONFIDENT THAT MOST OF
THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE LIMITED TO KBAF KBDL AND PERHAPS KORH KMHT
PRIOR TO SUNSET. MAIN THREATS ARE WIND GUSTS TO 45KT AND VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL. AMENDED KBAF KBDL TO REFLECT THIS TREND.

IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE AN ISOLD TSTM FORMS NEAR KPVD/KBOS PRIOR TO
SUNSET...BUT THAT DOES NOT APPEAR LIKELY.

WW 726 REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 23Z AND INCLUDES KBDL KBAF KORH KMHT.

MVFR CIGS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS EVENING WITH PERIOD OF IFR CIGS
OVERNIGHT. HIGH CONFIDENCE ON IFR/LIFR REDEVELOPING KFMH KHYA KACK
BY THIS EVENING. CONDITIONS SLOWLY IMPROVE TO MVFR SAT MORNING AND
LIKELY PERSISTS THROUGH SAT AFTERNOON. SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS
POSSIBLE SAT AFTERNOON MAINLY ACROSS INTERIOR.

SATURDAY NIGHT...STRONG N-NE WINDS ACROSS CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET AS
HURRICANE BILL PASSES WELL E OF KACK. AREAS OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN SCT
SHOWERS/TSTMS.

OUTLOOK /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

SUNDAY...BECOMING MVFR OR VFR CIGS BY NOON WITH ANY EARLY WIND AND
IFR SQUALLS ALONG COASTAL MASSACHUSETTS QUICKLY ENDING. SCT OR BROKEN
AFTN SHOWERS AND TSTMS WITH LOCAL IFR CONDS.

SUN NIGHT...VFR WITH AREAS OF MVFR CONDS IN FOG OR LEFTOVER DYING
SHOWERS.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...GENERALLY VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...
SW WINDS WILL INCREASE AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT FROM THE
WEST. SPEEDS OF 15-20 KT ARE EXPECTED. A FEW GUSTS TO 25 KT ARE
POSSIBLE NEAR SHORE IF ENOUGH SUNSHINE DEVELOPS. PATCHY DENSE FOG
WILL BE AN ISSUE THIS MORNING BUT IMPROVING THIS AFTERNOON. ISOLATED
TSTM POSSIBLE.

FOR THE OCEAN WATERS...SE SWELLS OF 2-4 FT WITH A PERIOD OF 15
SECONDS FROM HURRICANE BILL ALREADY ARRIVING AT BUOYS JUST SOUTH OF
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND EARLY THIS MORNING. THESE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD
DURING THE DAY.

WE HELD OFF ISSUING SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES OR GALE WARNINGS AT THIS
TIME...EVEN THOUGH SOME CONDITIONS ARE BEING MET NOW. WITH THE
POSSIBILITY OF A TROPICAL STORM WATCH LATER TODAY...DID NOT WANT TO
CONFUSE THE ISSUE BY SWITCHING HEADLINES A FEW HOURS LATER. ONCE A
DETERMINATION IS MADE REGARDING HURRICANE BILL...HEADLINES WILL BE
ISSUED.

TONIGHT...
SW WINDS BEGIN TO EASE. FOR THE OCEAN WATERS SE SWELLS FROM BILL
CONTINUE TO BUILD. PATCHY DENSE FOG WILL REDEVELOP. ISOLATED TSTM
POSSIBLE.

SATURDAY...
PATCHY DENSE FOG DURING THE MORNING SHOULD ERODE DURING THE
AFTERNOON. SOUTHEAST SWELLS FROM BILL BUILD TO ABOUT 10 FT BY DAYS
END.

SATURDAY NIGHT...SE SWELLS CONTINUE TO QUICKLY BUILD AS BILL WORKS
ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLC. SEAS COULD REACH UP TO 20 FEET OR HIGHER S
AND E OF NANTUCKET SUNDAY MORNING. TPC FORECAST SUGGESTS E-NE WINDS
MAY APPROACH TROPICAL STORM FORCE FOR A TIME EARLY SUNDAY. HURRICANE
BILL IS EXPECTED TO PASS ABOUT 200 MILES EAST OF NANTUCKET SUNDAY
MORNING. PLEASE SEE THE LATEST ADVISORIES FROM THE TROPICAL
PREDICTION CENTER.

OUTLOOK /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

SUNDAY...LEFTOVER HAZARDS ...PROBABLY CONVERTING TO HAZ SEAS IN THE
OPEN WATERS SOMETIME SUNDAY AND LINGERING INTO MONDAY OR MONDAY AS SE
SWELLS ARE SLOW TO DECAY.

TUESDAY...NO HEADLINES ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME SINCE BILLS LEFTOVER
SWELLS ARE PROBABLY BELOW 5 FEET.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
RECENT DRIER THAN NORMAL CONDITIONS HAVE GIVEN THE SOIL A CHANCE TO
DRY OUT...AND ALLOWED STREAMS AND RIVERS TO GRADUALLY RECEDE OVER
THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.  PRECIPITATION HAS GENERALLY BEEN 1.5 TO 2
INCHES BELOW NORMAL THIS MONTH. THIS PROVIDES SOME GIVE WITH RESPECT
TO FLOOD POTENTIAL. SMALL STREAM FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE ABOUT 3 INCHES
IN 1 HOUR AND 4.5 INCHES IN 3 HOURS...BUT LESS FOR URBAN AND POOR
DRAINAGE FLOODING.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON TODAY WILL BRING SOME LOCALLY
HEAVY DOWNPOURS...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MINOR URBAN AND POOR
DRAINAGE FLOODING. BEST CHANCE FOR HEAVY RAINS WILL BE IN OUR AREA
WOULD BE THE EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES AND VICINITY...CLOSER TO
APPROACHING FRONT. THIS INCLUDES THE GREATER HARTFORD AND SPRINGFIELD
AREA. MODELS ARE POINTING TO SETUP OF A BAND OF HEAVY RAIN THIS
AFTERNOON...TONIGHT AND INTO SAT TIME-FRAME WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
STALLING OUT...POSSIBLY NEAR EASTERN NY/WESTERN MA....ACCOMPANIED BY
AN ANOMALOUS MOIST AIRMASS. NOT ALL INGREDIENTS FOR A CLASSIC
PREDECESSOR RAINFALL EVENT /PRE/ SEEM TO FALL INTO PLACE BUT
NEVERTHELESS COULD SEE AN ELONGATED BAND OF HEAVY RAINS SETTING UP
NEAR OUR AREA...POSSIBLY EXTENDING INTO WESTERN MA/CENTRAL CT/SW NH.
THIS COULD BRING THE THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING IN THAT AREA. TO THE
EAST...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS COULD STILL BRING LOCALIZED HEAVY
RAINS.

SAT NIGHT/SUN MORNING HEAVY RAIN AGAIN POSSIBLE IN SCATTERED
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH BILL...MORE WIDESPREAD RAINS
POTENTIALLY OVER CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS WHERE SANDY SOILS PREVAIL.
EXACT QPF DIFFICULT TO TELL AT THIS TIME BUT APPEARS THAT BILL WOULD
MOVE SWIFTLY. PLEASE SEE LATEST FORECASTS FOR HURRICANE BILL IN
LATEST ADVISORIES FROM THE TROPICAL PREDICTION CENTER.
