AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
920 AM EDT SUN SEP 19 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH NEW ENGLAND LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
THIS EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BRING DRY WEATHER FOR MONDAY
AND TUESDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY...THEN
MORE DRY WEATHER ARRIVES FOR THURSDAY BEFORE ANOTHER COLD FRONT
ARRIVES FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
PREVIOUS FORECAST PRETTY MUCH ON TRACK.  AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT
WAS ALREADY RESULTING IN SKIES BECOMING MOSTLY CLOUDY ACROSS
SOUTHERN NH/FAR NORTHERN MA.  MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES ACROSS THE REST OF
OUR REGION THIS MORNING...WILL GIVE WAY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES FROM
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON.  NONETHELESS...STILL EXPECT A
RATHER NICE END TO THE WEEKEND WITH HIGHS GENERALLY WELL UP INTO THE
70S ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS ALONG WITH COMFORTABLE HUMIDITY LEVELS.
SEA BREEZES ON THE SHOULD KEEP HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S
ON THE IMMEDIATE COAST.

LITTLE IN THE WAY OF PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED WITH THE FRONT AS LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE IS LACKING.  HOWEVER...THERE MAY BE ENOUGH
CONVERGENCE ON THE FRONT TO TRIGGER A BRIEF PASSING
SPRINKLE/SHOWER.  THE ODDS OF A SPOT LOCATION RECEIVING MEASURABLE
PRECIPITATION THOUGH APPEARS QUITE LOW.

SOUTHEAST SWELL FROM DISTANT HURRICANE IGOR WILL CONTINUE TO BRING
HIGH SURF TO OCEAN EXPOSED BEACHES OF THE SOUTH COAST/CAPE/ISLANDS.
IN ADDITION...THERE WILL BE A HIGH RISK OF DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE NORTHEAST TONIGHT AND MONDAY WITH
DRY AIR SUPPORTED BY PLENTY OF SUBSIDENCE. HURRICANE IGOR MAKES
HIS *CLOSEST* APPROACH TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND ON MONDAY...THAT IS
IF ONE WISHED TO REFER TO 500 MILES SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET AS
BEING CLOSE.

FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS MEANS CLEARING SKIES TONIGHT
STARTING IN THE NORTHWEST. LINGERING 850 MB MOISTURE DURING 06Z-12Z
SUGGESTS CLOUDS MAY NOT BE COMPLETELY GONE ON THE CAPE/ISLANDS BY
MORNING BUT THE CLEARING WILL CONTINUE.

TEMPERATURE FORECASTS ARE FROM A BLEND OF MOS.

THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE NORTHEAST HIGH AND HURRICANE
IGOR SHOULD GENERATE A STEADY NORTH-NORTHEAST FLOW ON MONDAY WITH
DAYTIME MIXING BRINGING 20-25 KNOT GUSTS TO THE SURFACE...THERE IS
A HINT IN THE ECMWF AND GFS OF A 30 KNOT GUST POTENTIAL OVER THE
CAPE AND ISLANDS.

HIGH SURF AND DANGEROUS SWELL FROM IGOR WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD
THROUGH MONDAY. THE ADVISORY FOR THIS CONTINUES THROUGH THAT TIME.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MONDAY NIGHT...DECENT RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS EXPECTED INLAND
AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CRESTS OVER THE AREA FROM W TO E LATE.
PATCHY FROST POSSIBLE OVER THE NW INTERIOR VALLEYS WITH FORECAST
LOWS IN THE UPPER 30S.

TUESDAY...A CHILLY START TO THE DAY EXPECTED. HOWEVER AS HIGH
PRESSURE SHIFTS SE OF THE AREA...A SW FLOW WILL DEVELOP. THIS
WILL BRING A NOTICEABLE MODERATION IN TEMPERATURES BY LATE
AFTERNOON ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND AT NIGHT ELSEWHERE. USED A BLEND
OF NAM AND PREVIOUS OFFICIAL FORECAST.

WEDNESDAY...A WARM DAY EXPECTED AS SW FLOW CONTINUES OVER MOST OF
THE AREA. H85 TEMPERATURES REACHING +17C WOULD SUPPORT HIGHS IN THE
MID 80S AWAY FROM THE COAST. SOME MINOR DIFFERENCES EXIST REGARDING
THE TIMING OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. 00Z NAM/UKMET APPEAR A BIT
SLOW WITH THE ARRIVAL TIME WHILE THE 00Z GFS/00Z ECMWF ARE IN DECENT
AGREEMENT BRINGING THE COLD FRONT THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA DURING
THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. THIS WOULD BE CLOSE TO THE
PEAK INSTABILITY TIME. ALSO NOTING SFC DEWPOINTS RISING INTO THE
LOWER 60S WITH PWAT VALUES RISING TO AROUND 1.7 G/KG AHEAD OF THE
COLD FRONT. WIND FIELDS ARE DECENT WITH H85-7 JET MAXIMA BETWEEN 30
AND 40 KT. STRONGER WIND FIELDS REMAIN NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA
WITH THE BEST LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY SW OF THE AREA. HAVE LOW CHANCE
POPS ADVERTISED FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.

THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...WITH
COOLER TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 60S AND 70S.

FRIDAY...THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO RETURN AS A WARM FRONT...
FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER COLD FRONT BY EVENING. SOME TIMING ISSUES
APPEAR EVIDENT...WITH THE GFS AND THE ECMWF TO SOME EXTENT
ADVERTISING HIGH LOW LEVEL RH PERSISTING MUCH OF THE DAY...AS THE
WARM FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THE AREA. IT/S STILL EARLY TO ESTIMATE
HOW MUCH CLEARING WILL OCCUR BEFORE THE COLD FRONT ARRIVES. HAVE
CHANCE POPS ADVERTISED DURING THE DAY AND AT NIGHT. RAISED HIGHS
A FEW DEGREES ABOVE MEX GUIDANCE AS SOUTHWEST FLOW IS EXPECTED TO
INCREASE.

SATURDAY...HAVE CLEARING SKIES ADVERTISED BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.
SOME QUESTIONS EXIST HOW FAR SOUTH THE COLD FRONT WILL TRACK BEFORE
IT STALLS. EVENTUALLY SHORT WAVE ENERGY IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE FROM
THE PLAINS STATES AND TRACK ALONG THE STALLED FRONT...LEADING TO
AN INCREASING RISK FOR UNSETTLED WEATHER OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /13Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TODAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR DESPITE INCREASING MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS
AND LOW PROBABILITY OF A BRIEF PASSING SPRINKLE/SHOWER AT A SPOT
TERMINAL.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR. HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT LIGHT
SOUTHWEST WINDS BECOME SOUTHEAST AROUND 10 KNOTS BY AFTERNOON AS
WEAK GRADIENT ALLOWS SEA BREEZE TO DEVELOP.

TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR. CLOUDS THE FIRST HALF OF THE
NIGHT SHOULD CLEAR OVERNIGHT. ANY SHOWERS WILL BE TOO LIGHT TO
CAUSE VSBY RESTRICTIONS. WINDS WILL INCREASE OUT OF THE NORTH BUT
REMAIN AT OR BELOW 15 KNOTS.

MONDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR AS HIGH PRESSURE BRINGS CLEAR OR
CLEARING SKIES. BEST CHANCE OF ANY CLOUDS WOULD BE AT FMH-HYA-ACK
MAINLY IN THE MORNING. INCREASING NORTH WINDS WITH POTENTIAL FOR
WIND GUSTS OF 20-25 KNOTS...POSSIBLY 25-30 KNOTS AT ACK.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR. CLOUDS WILL MOVE ACROSS LATE
IN THE DAY AND FIRST HALF OF THE NIGHT BUT CEILINGS SHOULD REMAIN
ABOVE 3000 FEET AND VSBYS AT OR ABOVE 5 MILES IN WIDELY SCATTERED
SHOWERS.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

MONDAY NIGHT...VFR. FOG PATCHES ACROSS THE NW INTERIOR VALLEYS.

TUESDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR.

WEDNESDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR. WDLY SCT SHRA/TSRA
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.

THURSDAY...VFR.

.MARINE...

TODAY...
SUSTAINED WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE 10 KNOTS OR LESS ACROSS THE
WATERS.  HOWEVER...SWELL FROM DISTANT HURRICANE IGOR WILL CONTINUE
TO BRING SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY SEAS TO OUR OUTER-WATERS AND SOUNDS.

TONIGHT...
A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE WATERS LATE BY EARLY TONIGHT. NORTH
WINDS WILL INCREASE BEHIND THE FRONT. WIND GUSTS TO 25 KNOTS
POSSIBLE ON THE WATERS SOUTH AND EAST OF NANTUCKET LATE TONIGHT.
WIND GUSTS OF 25 TO 30 KNOTS POSSIBLE ON ALL WATERS MONDAY WITH A
POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS NEAR GALE FORCE SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET.

SOUTHEAST SWELL FROM DISTANT HURRICANE IGOR WILL KEEP SEAS ABOVE SCA
THRESHOLDS THROUGH MONDAY. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR HAZARDOUS
SEAS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS OUR OUTER-WATERS AND SOME OF OUR SOUNDS
THROUGH MONDAY. A GENERIC SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE NEEDED
MONDAY ON ALL OTHER WATERS DUE TO THE GUSTY NORTH WINDS.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...LEFTOVER SWELL FROM HURRICANE IGOR
EXPECTED TO DIMINISH WITH SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHTS DROPPING TO
AROUND 5 FEET ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS.

WEDNESDAY...MARGINAL SCA CONDITIONS...SW WINDS GUSTING UP TO 25 KT
ALONG PORTIONS OF THE IMMEDIATE S COAST AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. SEAS
4 TO 6 FEET S COASTAL WATERS.

THURSDAY...MARGINAL SCA CONDITIONS POSSIBLE...NW WINDS 15 TO 20 KT
