AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
502 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 RAIN-FREE
FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
MAIN CONCERN THIS EVENING WILL BE CONVECTION MOVING EAST THROUGH THE
CT RIVER VALLEY.  ABUNDANT ENERGY AVAILABLE FOR CONVECTION AHEAD OF
A COLD FRONT IN EASTERN NEW YORK.  DEW POINTS ARE ANOMALOUSLY HIGH
FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...ADDING TO THE PRESENT RISK OF
THUNDERSTORMS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.  DECIDED TO HOLD OFF ON A
FLOOD WATCH FOR THE MOMENT...EXPECTING ANY FLOODING TO BE MORE
ISOLATED AND CONFINED TO URBAN AND POOR-DRAINAGE AREAS.

EXPECTING THIS CONVECTION TO CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING.  LATEST
RADAR TRENDS INDICATE SOME SUPERCELLS...WITH THE ATTENDANT RISK OF
TORNADOES.  A TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN POSTED FOR THIS EVENING ACROSS
SOUTHERN NH...CENTRAL AND WESTERN MA AND NORTHERN CT.

SWELLS FROM DISTANT HURRICANE BILL HAVE STARTED TO ARRIVE ALONG THE
SOUTH COAST OF NEW ENGLAND.  THESE SWELLS WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD
OVERNIGHT...LEADING TO STRONGER RIP CURRENTS AND HIGHER BREAKING
WAVES...MAINLY ALONG THE SOUTH COAST OF MA AND RI.

TEMPERATURES ARE A BLEND OF THE MET AND MAV GUIDANCE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
GENERALLY FOLLOWED THE 12Z NAM FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE...AS IT WAS
VERY CLOSE TO OFFICIAL FORECAST TRACK FOR HURRICANE BILL.  12Z GFS
JUST SLIGHTLY WEST OF THE NAM.

ABUNDANT MOISTURE REMAINS IN PLACE...BUT NOT EXPECTING TEMPERATURES
TO BE AS HOT.  WHILE THIS WILL LIKELY MEAN MORE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...NOT
EXPECTING THESE STORMS TO BE AS STRONG AS TODAY.

NOT A GOOD BEACH DAY ALONG THE SOUTH COAST WITH SWELLS CONTINUING TO
BUILD WITH HURRICANE BILL TURNING NORTH OVER THE OPEN ATLANTIC.
HAVE ISSUED A HIGH SURF ADVISORY TO HIGHLIGHT THE DANGEROUS SURF AND
POTENTIAL FOR STRONG RIP CURRENTS.  PEOPLE HEADING TOWARD THE COAST
ARE ENCOURAGED TO CHECK WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES ABOUT SWIMMING
RESTRICTIONS OR BEACH CLOSURES.

HURRICANE BILL SHOULD MAKE ITS CLOSEST TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...PASSING ABOUT 220 MILES EAST OF
NANTUCKET. WHILE THIS SHOULD KEEP THE BRUNT OF THE WINDS WELL
OFFSHORE...WILL STILL LIKELY SEE SOME RAINFALL ACROSS PORTIONS OF
EASTERN MA AND RI.

&&

.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/DEW POINTS. 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/DEW POINTS 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. WEAK HIGH PRES SETTLES JUST S OF NEW ENGLAND.
CFP WED NIGHT MAY SPAWN SHOWERS AND TSTMS AHEAD OF IT LATE IN THE
DAY WEDNESDAY.

THU-FRI...DRY COOLER HIGH PRES SHOULD SETTLE SEWD FROM THE GREAT
LAKES TO SNE. 12Z GFS MAV MOS TEMPS BLENDED WITH THE PREV 4 AM KBOX
FCST.

&&

.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 729 REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 01Z AND INCLUDES KBDL...KBAF...KORH
AND 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...
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. THESE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO SUNDAY.

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES POSTED FOR MOST OF THE SOUTH COASTAL WATERS
THROUGH SUNDAY.  MARINERS ARE URGED TO FOLLOW THE LATEST ADVISORIES
CONCERNING HURRICANE BILL.  WHILE CONFIDENCE IS GROWING BILL WILL
TRACK WELL EAST OF THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COASTAL WATERS...THERE
IS STILL A POSSIBILITY WE COULD SEE SOME WIND IMPACTS ACROSS THE
WATERS EAST OF CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET.

OUTLOOK /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

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

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

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
RAINFALL FOR AUGUST TO DATE HAS BEEN 1.5 TO NEARLY 2.5 INCHES BELOW
NORMAL...ALLOWING STREAMS AND RIVERS TO GRADUALLY RECEDE OVER THE
PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS...AND ALLOWING SOIL TO DRY OUT. THIS PROVIDES
SOME GIVE WITH RESPECT TO THE FLOOD POTENTIAL.  SMALL STREAM FLASH
FLOOD GUIDANCE IS ABOUT 3 INCHES IN 1 HOUR AND 4.5 INCHES IN 3
HOURS...BUT LESS FOR URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING.

FOR TONIGHT...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ANTICIPATED...ANY
THUNDERSTORMS COULD BRING LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH ANOMALOUSLY
MOIST AIRMASS IN PLACE. CONCERN IN OUR AREA IS FAR SW NH INTO
CENTRAL CT...CLOSER TO AN APPROACHING FRONT THAT SHOULD STALL OUT
JUST WEST OF OUR AREA FOR SAT. MODELS AND WV IMAGERY INDICATE THAT
MOISTURE IS PRIMARILY OF GULF ORIGIN AS OPPOSED TO MOISTURE FROM
BILL. NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE AT THIS TIME TO GO WITH A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH IN WESTERN PORTION OF THE AREA...THOUGH CAN NOT RULE OUT AN
ISOLATED FLASH FLOOD EVENT TONIGHT. MINOR URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE
FLOODING IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE.

NAM/GFS INDICATE THAT WEAK FRONT WILL LINGER IN THE VICINITY OF EASTERN
NY ON SAT...WHERE AXIS OF 2 PLUS INCH PRECIPITABLE WATER REMAINS.
ONCE AGAIN POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS PRIMARILY
OVER SW NH INTO NORTH CENTRAL CT. MINOR URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE
FLOODING POSSIBLE...ISOLATED FLASH FLOOD EVENT POSSIBLE WESTERN ZONES.

SAT NIGHT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM BILL PRIMARILY CROSS CAPE
COD AND THE ISLANDS.  MODELS NOT SHOWING MUCH BY WAY OF QPF...BUT
WITH THE SANDY SOILS IN THAT AREA FLOODING ISSUES ARE NOT
ANTICIPATED. TROPICAL MOISTURE BEGINS TO DIMINISH IN SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND DURING THE DAY SUNDAY.
