AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
943 PM EDT MON MAR 29 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A MAJOR RAIN STORM FOR MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL RESULT IN
MODERATE TO MAJOR FLOODING ACROSS MOST OF RHODE ISLAND...EASTERN AND
CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHEAST CONNECTICUT. FIVE INCH OR GREATER
STORM TOTAL RAINFALL BY TUESDAY EVENING SHOULD PUSH 1 OR 2 LONG TERM
100 YEAR CLIMATE LOCATIONS WITHIN 1/2 INCH OF AN ALL TIME HISTORIC
MONTHLY RAIN TOTAL FOR ANY MONTH. SPRING-LIKE WEATHER RETURNS TO THE
REGION THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
INTO THE NORTHEAST... YIELDING DRY WEATHER ALONG WITH A SIGNIFICANT
WARMING TREND OVER THE INTERIOR BUT FOGGY EARLY MORNINGS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
HEAVY RAIN ASSOCD WITH SOUTHERLY LLJ AND RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF
STRONG UPPER JET CONTINUES TO TRAIN NWD ACROSS SNE WITH HEAVIEST
RAINFALL IN NORTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS...ALL OF RHODE ISLAND AND MUCH
OF THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR OF EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS. HOWEVER...THE
AREA OF RAIN HAS NOT MADE MUCH PROGRESS EAST LAST SEVERAL HOURS WITH
STEADIER RAIN STILL WEST OF CAPE COD AS DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW IN PLACE.

PROBABLY NOT MUCH RAIN THROUGH MIDNIGHT FOR OUTER CAPE AND ACK.

OTHERWISE THE CONVERGENCE WITH 30 KNOT SOUTHERLY GUSTS IN THE CAPE
COD WITH THE DEVELOPING SFC FRONT ALONG INTERSTATE 95 WILL YIELD A
HIGHER EFFICIENCY IN RAINFALL PRODUCTION IN THE WEAK NORTHERLY FLOW
OVERNIGHT.

2 HOURLY AMOUNTS OF NEARLY 1 INCH HAVE BEEN OCCURRING BETWEEN 6 PM
AND 8 PM. ANOTHER ONE OR 2 EPISODES OF 1 INCH IN 3 HOURS ARE EXPECTED
OVERNIGHT FROM RHODE ISLAND...TO NEAR BOSTON AND POSSIBLY ALSO
WINDHAM COUNTY CONNECTICUT INTO SOUTHEAST WORCESTER COUNTY.

THIS IS MAJOR WITH STORM TOTALS AS OF 8 PM NOW AVERAGING BETWEEN
2.6 AND 3.6 INCHES IN RHODE ISLAND. EXCESSIVE URBAN FLOODING SHOULD
BE IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING FOR PARTS OF RHODE ISLAND.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
PART 2 OF THIS HISTORIC FLOODING RAIN EVENT WILL OCCUR LATER TONIGHT
THROUGH TUE AS VERTICALLY STACKED COASTAL LOW LIFTS SLOWLY NORTH
ALONG THE MID ATLC COAST.  THE SOUTHERLY LLJ WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT
TO AN E/SE ORIENTED JET AND THIS WILL TRANSPORT MORE DEEP MOISTURE
INTO SNE WITH VERY STRONG OMEGA.  EASTERLY INFLOW IS EVEN STRONGER
THAN SOUTHERLY INFLOW OF TODAY WITH +3 TO +4 SD AND PWAT ANOMALY
+2.5 SD...SO EVEN HEAVIER RAINFALL IS LIKELY LATER TONIGHT INTO
TUE.

GFS/NAM/SREF FOCUS AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAIN ACROSS I95 CORRIDOR WHILE
ECMWF IS FURTHER WEST.  WE PREFER THE GFS/NAM AXIS OF QPF AS PWAT
PLUME IS FOCUSED ACROSS I95 CORRIDOR PRETTY MUCH DURING THE ENTIRE
EVENT AND THIS IS WHERE WE EXPECT HEAVIEST RAINFALL.  IN
ADDITION...DEVELOPMENT OF COASTAL FRONT WILL ENHANCE RAINFALL RATES
IN THIS REGION WITH VERY HEAVY RAINFALL LIKELY TUE MORNING IN THE
COASTAL PLAIN SHIFTING NORTH TO NORTHERN MA AND MERRIMACK VALLEY TUE
AFTERNOON AS THE LLJ MOVES NWD ACROSS THE REGION.

ISOLATED THUNDER POSSIBLE AT THE NOSE OF THE JET TUE MORNING AS
MODELS INDICATE SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY BUT WE DID NOT MENTION AT
THIS TIME.

WE FOLLOWED GFS/NAM/HPC BLEND WITH MORE WEIGHT GIVEN TO HEAVIER NAM
WHICH HAS DONE WELL WITH RECENT EXCESSIVE RAIN EVENTS AND IS
PROBABLY HANDLING THE MESOSCALE LIFT BETTER THAN GFS.  RAINFALL
TOTALS OF 3-6" EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION WITH ISOLATED 8"
AMOUNTS POSSIBLE.  LESS THAN 3" AMOUNTS EXPECTED FOR FAR NW AND FAR
SE PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.

WIND...MARGINAL WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA POSSIBLE ALONG THE COAST FOR
A 3-6 HR PERIOD FROM 15-21Z TUE.  NO ADVSY AT THIS TIME AS MAX PRES
FALLS TO THE SW WEAKEN AS THEY MOVE ACROSS REGION AND LOW LEVEL
INVERSION SHOULD LIMIT GUSTS.

PLEASE SEE COASTAL FLOODING SECTION BELOW FOR COASTAL FLOOD INFO.

TUE NIGHT...BRUNT OF HEAVY RAINFALL SHOULD BE LIFTING TO THE NORTH
BUT MAY LINGER INTO THE EVENING MERRIMACK VALLEY.  LEFTOVER LIGHT
RAIN/DRIZZLE AND AREAS OF FOG WILL LIKELY PERSIST MUCH OF THE
NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
LEFTOVERS WED AS BIG COASTAL LOW DEPARTS SLOWLY EASTWARD OF NANTUCKET
BUT STILL CAUGHT IN THE VAST LOW TOP BUT VERY MOIST CYCLONIC CIRCULATION.
09Z SREF POPS USED. 12Z MAVMOS GUIDE TEMPS BLENDED WITH 30 PCT COOLER
MET NAM. COULD BE A CHILLY DAY ON CAPE COD-40S.

THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
WARMS UP INTERIOR. HOWEVER...COASTAL COOLING OCEAN BREEZES COMBINED
WITH NIGHTTIME FOG IN LIGHT WIND...MOSTLY CLEAR SKY AND HIGH SFC
MOISTURE CONTENT FROM THE RECORD MARCH RAINS...AS WELL AS LACK OF
WESTERLY BL MIXING DURING THE DAY... WARRANTS CAUTION ON YIELDING
POTENTIAL 850 TEMP MAX'S. CONFIDENCE IN MID 80S IN SOUTHERN NH IS
BELOW AVG.

SUNDAY/MONDAY...THINK SUNDAY IS OUR BEST CHC FOR 80S. AVG CONFIDENCE.
MAINTAINED CONSIDERABLE CONTINUITY SUNDAY AND BLENDED PREV 4AM KBOX
FCST WITH NEW 12Z GFS MOS FOR A COOLER MONDAY. BOTTOM LINE...IF IT
HEATS UP BIG TIME EVERYWHERE IN SNE...THINK SUNDAY IS THE DAY. POPS
ON SUNDAY OR MONDAY ARE LOW AND HAD NO PARTICULAR FEEL. EC LOOKS A
LITTLE SLOWER THAN THE GFS.

ESSENTIALLY A NICE STRETCH OF WX IS UPCOMING THU-THROUGH THIS WEEKEND.

NEXT WEEK...SOME SIGNS IN THE MODELS THAT THE PATTERN REVERTS TO A
STRENGTHENING BLOCK IN NE CANADA WITH ACTIVE SRN STREAM BUT FOR NOW
NOTHING BIG ON THE DISTANT HORIZON FOR SNE.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
00Z TAFS...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE. PLS SEE TAFS FOR DETAILS AS WE TRY TO
KEEP UP WITH THE VARIABILITY.

VFR VARIABLE IFR CONDS IN RAIN/FOG IN SNE. BLV THE TREND WILL BE FOR
IFR OR LIFR CONDS BY DAYBREAK TUESDAY IN MUCH OF THE PVD BOS ORH
REGION IN HEAVY RAIN.

SFC WINDS TRENDING N AND THEN NE DURING THE NIGHT BOS PVD WESTWARD.
NE GUSTS 24-34 KTS FOR A FEW HOURS MIDDAY TUE MOST OF SNE.

CIGS AND VSBY MAY NOT IMPROVE TUE AFTN DUE TO WARMER LAYER TRYING TO
ENCROACH AT THE TOP OF THE BL AND POTENTIAL FOR FOG/DRIZZLE TWD
EVENING. THIS MAY YIELD WIDESPREAD LIFR CONDS BOS TO ORH SOUTH THRU RI
THE CAPE AND ISLANDS AS SFC WINDS DIMINISH.

TUE NIGHT...GENERAL IFR OR LIFR CONDS EXPECTED IN RAIN DRIZZLE AND
FOG.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

WEDNESDAY...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE. MVFR CONDS TO START WITH IFR POSSIBLE
CAPE COD IN SHOWERS. N GUSTS 20 TO 25 KTS.

THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR LATE MORNING INTO
EARLY EVENING BUT IFR IN THE VALLEYS AND PARTS OF THE COASTAL PLAIN
COUNTRYSIDE IN FOG EARLY MORNING HOURS.

&&

.MARINE...
SOUTHERLY WINDS TEMPORARILY DIMINISH THIS EVENING BEFORE BECOMING
EASTERLY AND INCREASING LATE TONIGHT INTO TUE AS NEXT LLJ PULSE
LIFTS NWD ACROSS THE WATERS.  LOW LEVEL INVERSION WILL LIMIT GUSTS
BUT WE DO EXPECT UP TO A 6 HR PERIOD OF GALE FORCE GUSTS DEVELOPING
OVER SOUTHERN WATERS BY EARLY TUE THEN MOVING NWD ACROSS NORTHERN
WATERS TUE AFTERNOON.

WINDS DIMINISH TUE NIGHT WITH LIGHT EASTERLY FLOW DEVELOPING.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

WEDNESDAY...
GALE CENTER WEAKENS AS IT MOVES NEAR THE 40N/70W POSITION. SCA CONDS
IN MANY OF THE WATERS. VSBY MAY BE POOR IN AREAS OF RAIN/DRIZZLE AND
FOG.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...
OCEAN LOW DRIFTS SEAWARD WITH HIGH PRES BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST.
LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED HOWEVER NE HAZARDOUS SEAS SWELLS ARE LIKELY TO
PERSIST ESPECIALLY THU.

.HYDROLOGY...
THE LATEST GRAPHICAL FORECASTS CAN BE FOUND AT...
HTTP:/WEATHER.GOV/BOSTON...AND GO TO /RIVERS AND LAKES AHPS/

A SERIOUS FLOOD SITUATION IS SHAPING UP IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
RIVER FORECASTS ARE IN COLLABORATION WITH NERFC.

A WIDESPREAD RAINFALL OF 3 TO 6 INCHES IS FORECAST IN SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND THROUGH TUESDAY WITH AMOUNTS UP TO 7 INCHES IN RHODE ISLAND
AND PARTS OF CENTRAL/EASTERN MA. WE HAVE HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT THIS
WILL RESULT IN MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING ALONG SEVERAL RIVERS...WITH
MAJOR OR RECORD FLOODING FORECAST AT A FEW LOCATIONS...

* PAWTUXET RIVER AT CRANSTON RI...RECORD FLOODING IS FORECAST.
FLOODING WILL BE AS SEVERE OR EVEN WORSE THAT WHAT OCCURRED IN MID
MARCH! LATEST FORECAST CREST IS 16.1 FT MIDDAY WED.

* SUDBURY RIVER AT SAXONVILLE MA...RECORD FLOODING IS FORECAST.
FLOODING WILL BE WORSE THAN WHAT OCCURRED IN THE APRIL 1987 FLOODS...
WHEN THE RIVER CRESTED AT 13.5 FT. LATEST FORECAST CREST IS 14.6 FT
BY WED MORNING.

* CHARLES RIVER AT DOVER MA...MAJOR FLOODING IS FORECAST. LATEST
FORECAST CREST IS 8.5 FT MIDDAY WED BUT COULD END UP BEING HIGHER
SINCE THE RIVER IS STILL PROJECTED TO BE RISING AT THAT TIME.

* ASSABET RIVER AT SUDBURY MA...MAJOR FLOODING IS FORECAST. LATEST
FORECAST CREST IS 7.9 FT MIDDAY WED BUT SHOULD END UP BEING HIGHER
SINCE THE RIVER IS STILL PROJECTED TO BE RISING AT THAT TIME.

SIGNIFICANT URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING IS ALSO EXPECTED. FLOODING
WILL BE AT LEAST AS BAD AS IT WAS IN MID MARCH. THIS IS GOING TO BE
A PROLONGED PERIOD OF URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING...WHICH SHOULD
LAST WELL INTO TUESDAY MORNING.

INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED FLOODING IN THE PAST MONTH SHOULD
BE TAKING PRECAUTIONS AT THIS TIME AND BE PREPARED FOR A MAJOR FLOOD
EVENT!!! FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OF LOCAL OFFICIALS AND EVACUATE IF
YOU ARE ASKED TO DO SO!!!

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
STORM SURGE PEAKED AROUND 1.1 FT AT PVD FOR THE RECENT MORNING TIDE
WHICH KEPT TIDES JUST BELOW FLOOD STAGE. THE ASTRO TIDE FOR THIS
EVENINGS TIDE IS ALMOST 1 FT HIGHER WHICH COMBINED WITH CONTINUED
MODEST SOUTHERLY FLOW SHOULD YIELD WATER LEVELS NEAR OR SLIGHTLY
ABOVE FLOOD STAGE ACROSS THE UPPER PARTS OF NARR BAY...SO COASTAL
FLOOD ADVSY CONTINUES FOR THE EVENING HIGH TIDE.

WE ALSO ISSUED COASTAL FLOOD ADVSY FOR EAST COASTAL MA FOR TUE
MIDDAY HIGH TIDE.  MRPSSE SURGE GUIDANCE INCREASED AROUND 1 FT BUT
WORST CASE SCENARIO IS MINOR COASTAL FLOODING.  ASTRO TIDES ARE HIGH
BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR THE SEAS WILL BE BUILT UP ENOUGH FOR ANYTHING
MORE THAN MINOR FLOODING.

MINOR SPLASHOVER POSSIBLE NEAR MIDNIGHT HIGH TIDE CYCLE TUE NIGHT.
