AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
100 PM EDT SAT APR 4 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL LINGER ACROSS FAR NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND TODAY. WEAK
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION LATER SUNDAY AND SUNDAY
NIGHT. ANOTHER STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL PASS TO OUR WEST MONDAY AND
MONDAY NIGHT...BRINGING MORE WET WEATHER AND STRONG WINDS. THIS LOW
WILL LINGER OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND THROUGH WEDNESDAY KEEPING IT
CLOUDY WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS HERE IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THERE IS
EVEN A CHANCE OF SOME SNOW SHOWERS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHTS IN
NORTHWEST MASSACHUSETTS AND SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE. AFTER SOME SUNSHINE
RETURNS THURSDAY...ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE MAY APPROACH ON FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
HAVE UPDATED GRIDS FOR RECENT CONDITIONS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
MOSTLY MADE ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO THE GRIDS. UPDATED THE POP GRIDS
WITH THE 04/09Z SREF AND MADE HAND EDITS TO ACCOUNT FOR OTHER
ACTIVITY. SHOWERS HAVE BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS CENTRAL
MASSACHUSETTS...HOWEVER...QPF AMOUNTS WILL REMAIN LESS THAN A QUARTER
OF AN INCH.

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

IT WILL BECOME WINDY 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 TODAY...BUT WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR TRENDS.

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

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
TONIGHT... 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

SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION SUNDAY BRINGING A
GOOD DEAL OF SUNSHINE AND TEMPERATURES IN THE 50 TO 55 RANGE EXCEPT
COOLER AT THE IMMEDIATE COAST/ISLANDS AND IN SOUTHWEST NH.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SUNDAY NIGHT...CLOUDS WILL INCREASE AHEAD OF THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM
BUT PRECIPITATION SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL MONDAY.

MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...STORM SYSTEM NOW OVER THE ROCKIES WILL
DEEPEN AS IT MOVES EAST ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. AIDED BY A 140+ KT
JET STREAM ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES...A SURFACE LOW RAPIDLY
DEEPENS OVER DELMARVA AT AROUND 990 MB THEN LOWERS FURTHER INTO THE
982-985 RANGE AS IT MOVES TO NEAR NEW YORK CITY THEN NORTHWARD INTO
UPSTATE NY OR WESTERN NEW ENGLAND. THE GFS HAS AN INTENSE 977 LOW
OVER CENTRAL NY...THE ECMWF IS 988 MB OVER THE BERKSHIRES...AND NAM
IS 983 MB OVER THE ST. LAWRENCE RIVER MONDAY NIGHT.

IN ALL CASES...ALL MODELS INDICATE A BAND OF VERY STRONG WINDS
PUSHING NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN NEW ENGLAND COASTAL
WATERS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SE WINDS WILL HOWL AT
70-80 KNOTS JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE...FROM 925 MB TO 850 MB. EXPECT
GALE FORCE WINDS ALONG THE COAST WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR STORM FORCE
GUSTS FOR A FEW HOURS...ESPECIALLY WITH ANY CONVECTION. MAY NEED WIND
ADVISORY FOR PARTS OF SOUTHEAST MA AND RI MON AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

HAVE DELAYED THE RAIN BY 1 TO 3 HOURS FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST. SHOWERS
WILL OVERSPREAD MOST OF THE REGION DURING THE MORNING. THERE IS A
CHANCE HOWEVER THAT THE MAIN RAIN ACTIVITY WILL NOT REACH EASTERN
MASSACHUSETTS UNTIL EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON. CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS ARE
VERY FAVORABLE FOR THUNDERSTORMS...WITH TOTAL TOTALS INDICES FORECAST
TO BE 50 TO 52 ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA LATE
MON AND MON EVENING. SO HAVE INTRODUCED THUNDER INTO FORECAST.

TOTAL RAINFALL OF 1 TO 2 INCHES IS POSSIBLE. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR RIVER
LEVELS...SINCE RISES ARE ALREADY FORECAST INTO FLOOD ON MONDAY FOR
THE LWR CT. PLS SEE HYDRO SECTION.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...DEEP UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN
OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND QUEBEC PROVINCE BOTH DAYS WITH A LARGE
CLOUD SHIELD WELL TO THE SOUTH. SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED OVER
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BOTH DAYS...WITH THE BEST CHANCES THE FARTHER NORTH
ONE GOES. TEMPERATURE PROFILES ARE SUCH THAT ENOUGH COLD AIR IS IN
PLACE BOTH NIGHTS TO CREATE THE POSSIBILITY OF SNOW SHOWERS OVER
WESTERN AND NORTHERN MA AND SOUTHERN NH. WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY
ESPECIALLY DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS BUT SHOULD NOT REACH WIND
ADVISORY LEVELS.

THURSDAY...THE WHOLE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL FINALLY MOVE OUT TO THE
NORTH OF THE MARITIMES AND WEAK SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER
OUR AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL REACH THE LOWER 50S IN MOST AREAS...BUT
COOLER AT THE COAST.

FRIDAY...THERE REMAINS A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE MODEL
EVOLUTION OF A DEEP TROUGH SEEN ON WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY TO
THE SOUTH OF ALASKA AND DIGGING SOUTHWARD TOWARD NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
THE ECMWF REMAINS STEADFAST IN KEEPING THAT SYSTEM STUCK IN THE
SOUTHWESTERN U.S. THROUGH THE WEEKEND. NCEP FAVORS THAT SLOW
SOLUTION. THE GFS HOWEVER...FOR SEVERAL DAYS NOW...CONTINUES
STEADFAST AT EJECTING THAT LOW QUICKLY AND CAUSING YET ANOTHER RAIN
STORM FOR US ON FRIDAY. TIME WILL TELL. FOR NOW...HAVE CONTINUED WITH
A LEANING TOWARD THE GFS SCENARIO IN TERMS OF CLOUDINESS BUT DUE TO
UNCERTAINTY...ONLY A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AT THIS POINT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
REMAINING SNOW MELT IN NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND COMBINED WITH ANOTHER
SHOT OF RAIN...POSSIBLY HEAVY...ON MONDAY...WILL RESULT IN RENEWED
RISES ALONG THE LOWER CONNECTICUT THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH A PROJECTION
OF GREATER THAN 24 HOURS DURATION MINOR FLOODING ON AT LEAST THE
CONNECTICUT RIVER AT HFD AND MIDDLETOWN. THIS LATEST GUIDANCE IS
BASED ON RECENT RAINFALL/SNOWMELT AND WET ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS.

A CONSERVATIVE CONTINGENCY FCST HAS BEEN REVIEWED BASED ON 09Z/4 SREF
6 HRLY QPF OF 18Z/6, 00Z,06Z AND 12Z/7 ENDING 12Z TUE.

ANOTHER CONTINGENCY WILL BE RUN OFF OF THE HPC QPF WHICH IS MORE IN
AGREEMENT OR EVEN HIGHER THAN THE 06Z GEFS 6 HOURLY.

THERE IS AT LEAST A MODERATE PROBABILITY THAT A RIVER FLOOD WATCH
WILL BE ISSUED SOMETIME SUNDAY FOR MINOR FLOODING BEGINNING MONDAY
ALONG A PORTION OF THE CONNECTICUT IN CT.

OTHER RIVERS THAT MAY SEE BANKFULL RISES. CERTAINLY POOR DRAINAGE
STREET FLOODING IS EXPECTED MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING IN PARTS OF
SNE DUE TO HEAVY RAINS...AT TIMES ASSTD WITH TSTMS.

ATTM...THE 09Z SREF IS CONSERVATIVE OFFERING GENERALLY ABOUT .7 INCH
TO SNE WHILE MULTIPLE CYCLES OF THE GEFS HAVE 24 HR POPS OF 1 INCH
AROUND 70 PCT IN THE WEST PART OF SNE AND LESS IN THE EAST.

PWATS WILL 1 TO 2 SD ABV NORMAL MONDAY AFTN/EVE WITH STRONG INFLOW.
A GOOD RECIPE FOR FOR A 12 HOUR HEAVY RAIN EVENT.

STAY TUNED.
