AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
920 PM EST THU FEB 25 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
INTENSE LOW PRES SOUTH OF MARTHAS VINEYARD MOVES WEST ONTO EASTERN LONG
ISLAND AROUND MIDNIGHT AND NEAR NEW YORK CITY FRI MORNING. THEREAFTER...IT
WEAKENS AND MEANDERS IN AND NEAR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THROUGH SAT
BEFORE RE-ENERGIZING SUNDAY INTO MON AS A STRONG OCEAN STORM EAST OF
CAPE COD. MULTIPLE HAZARDOUS WEATHER ELEMENTS WILL OCCUR IN SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND WITH THIS LONG DURATION STORMY PERIOD TONIGHT THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
919 PM...NUMEROUS REPORTS OF G40-49 KTS MASS COAST. MESONET AT KALMUS
AND HATCH BEACH ON CAPE COD HAVE HAD 46-48 KT GUSTS PAST 2 HOURS.
44KT AT HORSESHOE SHOAL.

EXPECTING THE S COAST TO HAVE NUMEROUS G40-45 KT REPORTS ARD 06Z AS
SSW CAA WIND ARRIVES WITH STRONG PRES RISES. OTRW...E MA WIND SHOULD
INCREASE 5 MORE KNOTS BETWEEN NOW AND 06Z THEN DIMINISH.

730 PM:  PLS SEE COASTAL FLOOD SECTION FOR TRENDS.. BOSTON NORTH IS
GOING FOR A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT FLOOD EVENT THROUGH 930 PM.

720 PM: 52 KNOTS ISLES OF SHOALS AND MANY REPORTS 38-46 KNOTS NOW E
MASS WATERS INCLUDING THE 46 KNOTS AT KALMUS ON THE CAPE. NO WIND
PNS TONIGHT SINCE WE HAVE A NICE WRAPUP PNS FOR THE ELEVATION SNOW
STORM OF 36 HOURS AGO. HOWEVER..WE WILL POST LSR WINDS IN THE LSR AS
THEY ARRIVE.

645 PM: WINDS ARE RISING RAPIDLY AT 7PM AS THE BAND OF WIND SPREADS
WEST FROM THE OCEAN ONTO THE SHORE. MANY REPORTS OF 35 TO 39 KNOTS
NOW IN THE E MASS WATERS.  45 KTS AT 7 PM AT MQE.

REPORTS OF WIRES DOWN NOW IN PARTS OF NE MASS. LSR POSTS SHORTLY.

RELYING HEAVILY ON 18Z NAM.

REMAINDER BELOW FROM 4PM DISCUSSION.

LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO RAPIDLY INTENSIFY OVER THE OCEAN WATERS
SOUTH OF NANTUCKET AS IT MOVES RAPIDLY NORTHWARD THIS EVENING. THIS
LOW WILL BOTTOM OUT AROUND 970MB JUST EAST OF LONG ISLAND THIS
EVENING THEN MOVE WESTWARD TOWARD NEW YORK CITY LATE TONIGHT. THIS
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SHOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH A MULTITUDE OF HAZARDS
TONIGHT. THESE INCLUDE HEAVY RAINFALL...HIGH WINDS...INCREASING
TIDAL DEPARTURES...AND SOME SNOWFALL.

THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH AN ANOMALOUSLY
STRONG EASTERLY LOW LEVEL JET. THIS WILL AID IN PUMPING NORTHWESTWARD
A PLUME OF MOISTURE LADEN AIR AND WILL RESULT IN HEAVY RAINFALL THIS
EVENING. WE ARE EXPECTING 1 TO 2 ADDITIONAL INCHES OF RAINFALL
TONIGHT WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL
AND NORTHEAST MASS AND SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE. THIS MAY AID IN
ADDITIONAL FLOODING...THEREFORE THE FLOOD WATCHES REMAIN IN EFFECT.

WINDS WILL BECOME A BIGGER FACTOR PRETTY QUICKLY EARLY THIS EVENING
A VERY STRONG LOW LEVEL JET IMPINGES ON SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WE THINK
THE TIME FRAME FOR STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE BETWEEN 00Z AND 06Z...WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR 50 KNOT GUSTS ACROSS COASTAL EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS.
WE EXPANDED THE HIGH WIND WARNING TO WESTERN ESSEX COUNTY AND
MIDDLESEX COUNTY AS SOME SLIGHTLY BETTER LOW LEVEL MIXING MAY OCCUR
THERE IN TANDEM WITH THE LOW LEVEL JET CORE. WE ALSO ISSUED A WIND
ADVISORY FOR THE REST OF INTERIOR MASS AND SOUTHERN NH NORTH OF THE
MASS PIKE WHERE THE STRONGEST PORTION OF THE LOW LEVEL JET CORE IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATER THIS EVENING. THIS IS MAINLY FOR THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS...BUT WE THINK SOME FUNNELING/POCKETS OF MIXING COULD
BRING STRONG WINDS DOWN TO THE VALLEY FLOORS FOR A BRIEF TIME. ISOLD
DAMAGING WINDS COULD OCCUR EVEN IN THE ADVISORY AREA...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKS. WE LEFT RHODE ISLAND /EXCEPT
BLOCK ISLAND/ AND CT OUT OF THE WIND ADVISORY FOR NOW SINCE WE THINK
MOST OF THE LOW LEVEL JET CORE WILL SKIP OVER THOSE AREAS.
HOWEVER...THIS WILL BEAR WATCH EARLY THIS EVENING.

THIS IS A WARM SYSTEM FOR MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. HOWEVER...WE
DO THINK COLDER AIR WILL ADVECT INTO THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT...FROM
THE SOUTH ODDLY ENOUGH. IN FACT THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL LIKELY PASS THROUGH NANTUCKET BEFORE IT DOES
SO ELSEWHERE. A MID LEVEL DRY SLOT WILL PROBABLY PRECLUDE THE RAIN
CHANGING OVER THE HEAVY SNOWFALL. HOWEVER...WE DO THINK AT LEAST SOME
LIGHT SNOWFALL WILL START TO DEVELOP AFTER MIDNIGHT...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE INTERIOR. THE MID LEVELS WILL BEGIN TO SATURATE AGAIN VERY
LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY...AND THIS SHOULD ALLOW
PRECIPITATION...MOSTLY IN THE FORM OF SNOW TO BECOME A BIT MORE
WIDESPREAD...ESPECIALLY FRIDAY. THE COASTAL PLAIN WILL HAVE ISSUES
ACCUMULATING...BUT THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA WILL PROBABLY PICK UP
AN ADVISORY LEVEL SNOWFALL THROUGH FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY OVER THE
HILLS. THERE IS STILL QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE MOISTURE
PROFILES AND THE STRENGTH OF FORCING MECHANISMS...SO THE SNOWFALL
FORECAST IS STILL UNCERTAIN.

ON THE EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES...RAIN WILL CHANGE OVER TO SNOW
AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AND PROBABLY ACCUMULATE UNTIL THE DRY SLOT
MOVES IN. HOWEVER...UPSLOPE CONTRIBUTION SHOULD BECOME QUITE ROBUST
VERY LATE TONIGHT AND ESPECIALLY FRIDAY. THEREFORE...SNOW TOTALS
THERE WILL BE HIGHER. WE OPTED FOR A WINTER STORM WARNING THERE
THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT WHERE 5 TO 10 INCHES MAY ACCUMULATE AROUND AND
ABOVE 1000 FEET.

&&

.SHORT TERM /7 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
AS MENTIONED ABOVE...THE SNOWFALL POTENTIAL FOR FRIDAY IS A BIT
UNCERTAIN. THE NEARLY STACKED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BE MEANDERING
AROUND THE AREA. WE THINK THAT WESTERNMOST ZONES WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO PICK UP THE MOST SNOWFALL...MAINLY THE EAST SLOPES OF
THE BERKSHIRES WHERE WE HAVE A WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT. FOR
THE CENTRAL ZONES JUST TO THE EAST OF THE WARNING AREA WE HAVE ISSUED
AN ADVISORY FOR 2 TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW...MAINLY FOR THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS. HOWEVER...THIS WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED FOR POTENTIAL
CHANGES AS THE SNOWFALL FORECAST IS A BIT UNCERTAIN. BASICALLY WE
WANT TO GET THE WORD OUT THAT THERE WILL BE SOME SLIPPERY TRAVEL
FRIDAY MORNING. EAST OF THE ADVISORY AREA...THERE WILL LIKELY BE SOME
LIGHT SNOW /PERHAPS EVEN MIXED WITH RAIN AT THE COAST/ BUT IT WILL BE
TOUGH TO ACCUMULATE. COASTAL AREAS WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL
FRIDAY NIGHT TO SEE ACCUMULATING SNOW. OTHERWISE...WINDS SHOULD NOT
BE A PROBLEM FRIDAY DUE TO A MUCH MORE RELAXED PRESSURE GRADIENT THAN
WHAT WE WILL SEE TONIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
STACKED LOW REMAINS OVER NEW ENGLAND.  DEEP MOISTURE LINGERS
THROUGH  THAT TIME WITH GOOD LIFT IN THE NUCLEATION ZONE FORECAST
THROUGH SATURDAY.  THE LIFT THEN SHIFTS NORTH OF OUR AREA SUNDAY
WITH PROGRESSIVE DRYING THROUGH THE DAY.

THE LIFT IS BEST OVER OUR NORTHERN AND WESTERN ZONES FRIDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SATURDAY...WILL KEEP CATEGORICAL POPS IN THOSE AREAS AND
LIKELY POPS THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA. DIMINISHING POPS SATURDAY
NIGHT WITH HIGH CHANCE POPS ALL AREAS ON SUNDAY.  DAYTIME TEMPS ARE
WARM ENOUGH IN THE EAST FOR ANY SNOW TO CHANGE TO RAIN...OTHERWISE
SNOW EXPECTED.  WITH THE UPPER LOW IN PLACE OVERHEAD WE WILL TERM IT
AS RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS RATHER THAN STRATIFORM.

LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS...THE HILLS WILL
GET SEVERAL MORE INCHES.  THE EXISTING WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THE
BERKSHIRE EAST SLOPES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING.  ADVISORIES
MAY BE NEEDED IN THE CENTRAL HILLS.

ANOTHER SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE REACHES THE SOUTHEAST USA COAST
SATURDAY AND SPINS UP ANOTHER COASTAL LOW BY SUNDAY.  MODEL
CONSENSUS KEEPS MOST OF THIS STORM OFFSHORE...BUT 12Z RUNS ARE A
LITTLE FARTHER WEST AND MAY BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO BRING PRECIP TO CAPE
COD AND THE ISLANDS LATE SUNDAY OR SUNDAY NIGHT.  WILL INDICATE
LIKELY POPS IN THOSE AREAS SUNDAY NIGHT.

PREFERRED THE NAM/MET VALUES FOR THIS PERIOD...EXCEPT A BLEND OF
GMOS AND 09Z SREFS FOR POPS.

MONDAY-TUESDAY...
OFFSHORE LOW LINGERS SOUTH OF NOVA SCOTIA.
LINGERING CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT WITH SUFFICIENTLY DEEP MOISTURE TO
SUPPORT CLOUDS.  DIMINISHING POPS MONDAY...DIMINISHING CLOUDS
TUESDAY OR TUESDAY NIGHT.

WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY...
ANOTHER SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE...ANOTHER GULF OF MEXICO SURFACE
LOW...ANOTHER STORM PASSING SOUTH OF US.  THE 12Z ECMWF IS WEST OF
THE GFS TRACK AND SLOWER...CURRENT FORECAST TRACKS SEEM FAR ENOUGH
OFFSHORE TO FORECAST DRY WEATHER FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.  BUT
THEN THIS IS A DAY 6/DAY 7 FORECAST AND SO THE CONFIDENCE IN THIS
DRY OUTCOME IS LOWER THAN LOW...THE OFFSHORE STORM MIDWEEK NEXT WILL
NEED TO BE MONITORED.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
PLEASE SEE 0Z TAFS AND ANY OF THEIR AMENDMENTS FOR DETAILS.

THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN MAINLY IFR CONDITIONS THROUGH
THE PERIOD...WITH PERIODS OF LIFR CONDITIONS IN FOG AND SQUALLY RAINS
THIS EVENING.

LLWS IN PROGRESS WITH THE INTENSE STORM FIRST MOVING DUE N TOWARD
NANTUCKET THEN ABRUPTLY CURLING WEST TONIGHT THROUGH LONG ISLAND
SOUND TONIGHT.

SUBSTANTIAL LLWS IS IN THE FCST TAFS FOR PORTIONS OF SNE. MANY PIREPS
TONIGHT OF TURBULENCE.

ELY GUSTS 38-48 KTS AT KBOS/KHYA/KACK/KFMH BETWEEN NOW AND 06Z WITH
INLAND GUSTS AT KORH/KMHT/KPVD REACHING 33-43KT FOR AN HOUR OR 2
WITHIN THE 01Z-06Z TIME FRAME. IN MOST CASES THESE GUSTS ARE ALREADY
OCCURRING AT 02Z.

AFTER 06Z FRIDAY...CONDITIONS LIKELY WILL IMPROVE TO MVFR CIGS
THROUGHOUT THE AREA BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z FRIDAY WITH BRIEF S GUSTS
34-44 KTS KACK/KHYA/KFMH 07Z-13Z FRI. HOWEVER...PERIODS OF MVFR OR
BRIEF IFR CONDS IN SNOW DEVELOPS BY 12Z FRI IN KBAF/KBDL.

AFTER 13Z FRI... GENERAL MVFR CIGS WITH AREAS OF MVFR OR IFR CONDS IN
SNOW FROM KBDL KBAF TO KORH SPREADING E DURING THE AFTN AND REACHING
THE COAST MVFR CONDS RAIN OR R/S SHOWERS LATE IN THE DAY.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

FRIDAY NIGHT-SATURDAY...IFR WEST AND IFR/MVFR EAST IN LOW CIGS AND
RAIN/SNOW. CONDITIONS MAY IMPROVE A LITTLE SATURDAY.

SUNDAY...MVFR WITH LOCAL IFR IN LOW CIGS AND RAIN/SNOW.  INCREASING
NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS LATE SUNDAY OR SUNDAY NIGHT ESPECIALLY
ALONG THE MASSACHUSETTS EAST COAST.

MONDAY...MVFR IN LOW CIGS AND SCATTERED RAIN/SNOW.  WINDS GUSTING TO
30 KNOTS ALONG THE MASSACHUSETTS EAST COAST ESPECIALLY CAPE COD AND
ISLANDS.

TUESDAY...IMPROVING CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...
STRONG LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTH EARLY THIS EVENING THEN
BENDS BACK WESTWARD TOWARD NEW YORK CITY LATE TONIGHT. EASTERLY GALES
IN PROGRESS EARLY THIS EVENING ACROSS ALL WATERS...WITH 50-60 KT
GUSTS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE EASTERN MASS WATERS BY 05Z. THIS WILL
AID IN RAPIDLY BUILDING...AND DANGEROUS SEAS...ESPECIALLY ON THE
OCEAN WATERS EAST OF BOSTON. SEAS MAY BUILD TO 30 FEET OVER STELLWAGEN
BANK AROUND MIDNIGHT. WINDS WILL DECREASE RATHER QUICKLY AFTER 2 OR 3
AM...AND BE OF SCA INTENSITY OR EVEN LESS ON FRIDAY.

HOWEVER...DANGEROUSLY HIGH SEAS WILL TAKE MUCH LONGER TO SUBSIDE.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...EAST WINDS BECOMING SOUTH WITH SPEEDS
GENERALLY BELOW 25 KNOTS.  SEAS WILL STILL BE ROUGH WITH 10 TO 15
FEET ON THE OUTER WATERS AND 5 TO 10 FEET ON THE NON-PROTECTED INNER
WATERS.  SEAS SLOWLY DIMINISH SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING.

SUNDAY NIGHT-MONDAY...INCREASING NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS WITH GALE
FORCE EXPECTED LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY ESPECIALLY EAST OF
MASSACHUSETTS.  EXPECT SEAS ON THE EASTERN WATERS TO BUILD TO 8 TO
12 FEET BY MONDAY AFTERNOON.

MONDAY NIGHT-TUESDAY...DIMINISHING WIND MONDAY NIGHT WITH
DIMINISHING SEAS TUESDAY.  MONDAY NIGHT GALES WILL GIVE WAY TO
TUESDAY SMALL CRAFTS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR THE MAJORITY OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
FLOOD WARNINGS CONTINUE FOR THE ASSABET...PAWTUXET...SUDBURY AND
SHAWSHEEN RIVERS. PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST FLOOD WATCH...WARNING
AND STATEMENT PRODUCTS FOR UPDATES.

MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED IN THE AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING.
A TOTAL RAINFALL OF 1 TO 2 INCHES IS STILL EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA
FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT. SCATTERED TOTALS TO 3 INCHES
ARE POSSIBLE IN NORTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS INTO SOUTH CENTRAL NEW
HAMPSHIRE.

EXACT FFG VALUES ARE DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT. THIS IS BECAUSE WHILE
THE TOPMOST FEW INCHES OF SOIL ARE THAWED...BELOW THAT THE SOIL IS
FROZEN. THIS PRESENTS A CHALLENGE SINCE MUCH OF THE RAIN/SNOWMELT
WOULD BECOME RUNOFF. THE ABOVE MENTIONED FORECAST RAIN AND SNOWMELT
IS EXPECTED TO BE SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE FLOODING WITHIN THE WATCH AREA.

IN SOUTHWEST NEW HAMPSHIRE AND THE EAST SLOPES OF THE
BERKSHIRES...WHERE THE SNOWPACK IS MOST NOTABLE...NOTICED A
RESPONSE IN THE SMALL STREAMS EVEN BEFORE THE MODERATE RAINS BEGAN
MOVING INTO THE AREA.  SO SOME SNOWMELT IS ONGOING IN THAT
AREA...AND RAIN WILL LIKELY CAUSE SHARP RISES ON STREAMS EVEN IN
THOSE LOCATIONS. SNOW CLOGGED DRAINS COULD ALSO CAUSE FLOODING
ISSUES.

SNOWMELT WILL COME TO AN END OVERNIGHT AS TEMPERATURES FALL AND
PRECIPITATION CHANGES OVER TO SNOW. RUNOFF WILL CONTINUE FOR A
PERIOD OF TIME EVEN AFTER THE CHANGEOVER. THIS WILL BRING A
CONTINUED RISK OF FLOODING TO SOME OF THE SLOWER RESPONDING STREAMS
AND RIVERS.

CALLS MADE YESTERDAY TO LOCAL OFFICIALS IN THE FAR INTERIOR INDICATE
THAT RIVER ICE IS LESS THAN TYPICAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...
GENERALLY AWAY FROM PONDS THERE ARE GOOD OPEN AREAS ALONG STREAMS
AND RIVERS...OR THEY ARE WIDE OPEN. SO BASED ON THIS
INFORMATION...ICE JAM FLOODING IS NOT ANTICIPATED IN SOUTH
CENTRAL/SOUTHWEST NH AND FAR INTERIOR MA.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
STORM TIDE AT NOS BOS GAGE OCCURRED AT 818 PM OF 12.26 FT /3.03 SURGE
AND 0.8 ABV PREDICTED AT HIGH TIDE/ WITH 17-21 FT SEAS IN PROGRESS
44013 TO 44029 AND 44098 AND APPARENTLY COASTAL ROAD CLOSURES.
SPLASHOVER ALSO REPORTED MARSHFIELD NOW.

MODERATE COASTAL FLOOD EPISODE BOSTON NORTH...POSSIBLY EVEN SCITUATE.
NO CHANGE IN WARNING CONFIGURATION ATTM.

PROVIDENCE STORM TIDE WAS 5.75 FT OR HALF A FOOT ABOVE PREDICTED AT
536 PM BUT WELL BLO FS.

EXPECT THE THRUST OF THE STRONGEST BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS TO FOCUS ON
THE NORTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS COAST THIS EVENING. WE DECIDED TO INCLUDE
SUFFOLK COUNTY AS WELL IN THE WARNING DUE TO VULNERABILITIES IN THE
WINTHROP AND REVERE AREAS. SOME OF THAT AREA EXPERIENCED SPLASH OVER
DEBRIS AT THIS MORNING/S 11.7 FEET WITH 10 FEET SEAS OFFSHORE.
ALSO...THE COMBINATION OF HEAVY RAIN RUNOFF AND STORM SURGE IS LIKELY
CAUSE FLOODING ON SOME SHORE ROADS SUCH AS MORRISSEY BLVD IN BOSTON.
WE THINK THAT THERE WILL BE A FAST ENOUGH RESPONSE WITH SURGE AND
SEAS TO WARRANT THE UPGRADE TO A WARNING ALONG THE NORTHEAST
MASSACHUSETTS COAST AND TO KEEP THE ADVISORY GOING FOR THE REST OF
THE MASSACHUSETTS EAST COAST.

BOTH THE EAST AND SOUTH COASTS WILL BE UNDER THE GUN FRIDAY MORNING.
ALONG THE EAST COAST...EXPECT A RESIDUAL SURGE OF 1.5 TO 2 FEET AND
SEAS AROUND 20 FEET ON TOP OF A HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDE. THERE MAY BE
CONSIDERABLE SWELL ENERGY AND SO EXPECT LARGE BREAKERS CRASHING
ONSHORE ON TOP OF AN ELEVATED TIDE.

ALONG THE SOUTH COAST...EXPECT THE SURFACE WIND TO SHIFT TO A
SOUTHERLY DIRECTION A FEW HOURS BEFORE THE EARLY MORNING
TIDE...MOSTLY BETWEEN 5 AND 6 AM. THINK WE COULD SEE A RAPID RISE IN
SURGE WITH THE WIND SHIFT ALONG WITH A CONTRIBUTION FROM VERY LOW
SURFACE PRESSURE. THINK THE MRPSSE GUIDANCE MAY BE UNDERDONE. THINK
THERE WILL BE GENERALLY 2 TO 3 FEET OF SURGE ALONG THE RI AND
BUZZARDS BAY COAST WITH UP TO 3.5 FEET POSSIBLE IN THE UPPER PART
NARRAGANSETT BAY. MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING IS HARD TO ACHIEVE WITH
EXTRATROPICAL CYCLONES ALONG THE SOUTH COAST...BUT SEE THE POTENTIAL
GREAT ENOUGH TO UPGRADE THE WATCH TO A WARNING AT THIS TIME. CANNOT
REALLY WAIT ANY LATER...SINCE THE HIGH TIDE IN QUESTION IS IN THE
EARLY MORNING.

WE EXPECT SIGNIFICANT BEACH EROSION TO CONTINUE WITH THE NEXT
SEVERAL HIGH TIDE CYCLES...MAINLY ALONG THE MORE EXPOSED EAST FACING
SHORE LOCATIONS AND ESPECIALLY ALONG THE NORTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS
COAST WHERE THE WAVE ENERGY SEEMS TO BE GREATEST.
