Area forecast discussion, Jun 27, 3:37 PM EDT, 39 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA 337 PM EDT SAT JUN 27 2009 .SYNOPSIS... LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY OVER NEW ENGLAND THIS WEEKEND AND LIKELY BRING MORE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND SUNDAY. CLOUDS AND PERIODS OF SHOWERY WEATHER ARE EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... DENSE FOG BANK OVER THE CT VALLEY DISSIPATED EARLIER THIS MORNING... ALLOWING FOR SURFACE HEATING. STARTING TO SEE CONVECTION FIRE ACROSS SW CHESHIRE AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES WHICH WE ARE MONITORING. HAVE ACTIVATED SKYWARN AS WELL. NOTING THE UPPER LOW SPINNING S OUT OF W CENTRAL VT LATE THIS MORNING WITH MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTION FIRING ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN HUDSON VALLEY. THIS SHOULD ALSO ROTATE INTO WESTERN AREAS THIS AFTERNOON. WHILE THIS IS OCCURRING...SEA BREEZE HAS KICKED IN ALONG THE COAST. NOTED A FOG BANK WORKING DOWN THE COAST...AND HAS MOVED INTO CAPE ANN AND AS FAR S AS BOSTON AT 11 AM. IF TSTMS START TO DEVELOP INTO EASTERN MA JUST AWAY FROM THE COAST...THE SEA BREEZE FRONT MAY BECOME A FOCUS AS WELL. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR. HAVE UPDATED THE ZONES AND GRIDS TO REFLECT CHANGES ON THE E COASTAL ZONES TO ABOUT SCITUATE AND COHASSET TO ADD IN PATCHY FOG FOR THE AFTERNOON. ALSO UPDATED TO BRING OTHER CONDITIONS CURRENT. REST OF FORECAST...MAINLY THE TIMING OF THE PRECIP...LOOKED PRETTY GOOD SO KEPT THIS GOING. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... LEANED HEAVILY UPON THE NAM SOLUTION THIS MORNING...AS IT HAD GOOD SUPPORT FROM THE 26/21Z SREF MEAN AND 00Z RGEM. 00Z GFS IS SIMILAR...BUT DEVELOPS A FEEDBACK PROBLEM THIS EVENING SO IT IS DIFFICULT TO TRUST THE DETAILS IN IT. EXPECTING A WEAK SURFACE LOW PRESSURE TO LINGER ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TODAY. OUR REGION IS STILL IN RANGE OF A BROAD MID LEVEL COLD POOL ALONG THE NY/VT/QUEBEC PROVINCE BORDER. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN MID LEVEL INSTABILITY...AND SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BY AFTERNOON. RELATIVELY COLD MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES /-15C AT 500MB/ COMBINED WITH SOME SURFACE HEATING AND DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S SHOULD RESULT IN AROUND 500 JOULES OF SFC BASED CAPE TODAY. THIS MAY ALLOW FOR ISOLATED SMALL HAIL REPORTS AND PERHAPS SOME LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/... MUCH OF THE SAME THIS EVENING...WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS GRADUALLY DISSIPATING WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. STILL HAVE TO CONTEND WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED SURFACE TROUGH...SO CANNOT RULE OUT A SHOWER AFTER MIDNIGHT ACROSS EASTERN MA AND RI. NORTHEAST WINDS SHOULD ALSO BE IN PLACE...LEADING TO MORE LOW CLOUDS AND FOG...AN PERHAPS SOME DRIZZLE. SUNDAY LOOKS TO BE A REPEAT OF TODAY...BUT COOLER ALONG THE EAST COAST AND EVEN LESS POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL DOMINATE THE WEATHER THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK. THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE GFS AND THE ECMWF OUT BEYOND WEDNESDAY. THE GFS IS A BIT MORE PROGRESSIVE MOVING THE UPPER LEVEL LOW OUT FASTER THAN THE ECMWF AND HIGH PRESSURE MOVING IN BY THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER...IT IS THE OUTLIER. OVERALL...WILL HAVE DIURNAL CLOUDS FORMING EACH AFTERNOON WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES EACH MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL BE CONSISTENT THROUGH THE WEEK WITHIN A COUPLE OF DEGREES. HIGHS WILL RUN 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL...BUT AT LEAST THE SUN WILL BE OUT FOR PART OF THE DAY. MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES IN THE MORNING WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR A CHANCE OF SHOWERS EACH AFTERNOON. && .AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...HAVE INCLUDED LIFR CIGS/MVFR-IFR VSBYS INTO THE KBOS TAF DUE TO FOG BANK THAT MOVED IN WITH THE SEA BREEZE. EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE...STILL EXPECT AREAS OF SHOWERS WITH SCT TSTMS AT MOST TERMINAL LOCATIONS...WITH SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE. WITH THE SEA BREEZE NEAR KBOS...THIS MAY PRECLUDE TSTM DEVELOPMENT BUT COULD SEE SOMETHING WITHIN AN 8-10 MILE RADIUS MAINLY W OF THE AIRPORT...DEPENDING UPON WHERE THE SEA BREEZE FRONT SETS UP. TONIGHT...EXPECTING IFR CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN FROM EAST TO WEST WITH EITHER EAST OR NORTHEAST WINDS. VFR WITH PERIODS OF MVFR FARTHER INLAND. COULD SEE BRIEF IFR AT KORH...BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH. SUNDAY...LOW CLOUDS SHOULD BE TOUGH TO DISSIPATE SUNDAY MORNING ACROSS EASTERN MA. LIKELY TO SEE MVFR/VFR BY AFTERNOON...WITH THE MOST FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FROM THE LOWER CT RIVER VALLEY WEST. OUTLOOK /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE WILL KEEP THE CHANCES OF SHOWERS AROUND EVERY DAY. MAINLY LOOKING AT MVFR/VFR CONDITIONS...BUT A FEW PERIODS OF IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IN HEAVIER SHOWERS/TSTMS ALONG WITH SOME FOG ESPECIALLY AT THE COAST. && .MARINE... THIS AFTERNOON...WILL CONTINUE TO SEE LIGHT WINDS AT 10 KT OR LESS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH SEAS 4 FT OR LESS. IN ANY THUNDERSTORMS...WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE HIGHER. TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS AND SEAS EXPECTED ACROSS THE WATERS TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. WINDS SHOULD REMAIN LESS THAN 20 KT AND SEAS LESS THAN 5 FT. THE ONLY EXCEPTION BEING IN THE VICINITY OF SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS LATER TODAY INTO THIS EVENING. OUTLOOK /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... MAINLY SUB-SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. THERE MAY BE A FEW PERIODS OF 5 FOOTERS ON THE OUTER WATERS FROM TIME TO TIME. PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND FOG MAY LIMIT VSBYS FROM TIME TO TIME. && .BOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...NONE. MA...NONE. NH...NONE. RI...NONE.
