AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1041 AM EDT TUE MAR 30 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A MAJOR RAIN STORM FOR MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND IS UNDERWAY
FORCING UNPRECEDENTED COOL SEASON 3 WEEK RAINS. THIS 3RD STORM IN THE
SERIES IS DRIFTING NORTH TOWARD LONG ISLAND AND WILL TURN EAST LATE
TODAY...PASSING INTO THE NORTH ATLANTIC WEDNESDAY. SPRING-LIKE
WEATHER RETURNS THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY AS A HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
ACROSS THE NORTHEAST...YIELDING DRY WEATHER ALONG WITH A SIGNIFICANT
WARMING TREND AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
HEAVIEST RAIN THIS MORNING PRIMARILY FOCUSED FROM RI WEST TO N CT AT
THE NOSE OF THE LOW LEVEL JET. THIS AXIS OF HEAVY RAIN WILL
GRADUALLY SHIFT NORTH AND EAST ACROSS EASTERN MA AND THE MERRIMACK
VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON AS THE LLJ MOVES NWD. LOW LEVEL JET DYNAMICS
COMBINED WITH STRONG CONVERGENCE FROM THE COASTAL FRONT ACROSS SE
NEW ENG WILL RESULT IN MORE VERY HEAVY RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON WHICH
SHOULD BECOME FOCUSED FROM E MA INTO RI. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL OF 2-3"
POSSIBLE THROUGH EARLY EVENING FOR RI AND PORTIONS E MA BRINGING
STORM TOTALS TO 6-9" IN THIS REGION AND A FEW SPOT 10" AMOUNTS
POSSIBLE. VERY SERIOUS FLOODING WILL WORSEN AND CATASTROPHIC
FLOODING EXPECTED FOR PARTS OF RI AND ESPECIALLY THE PAWTUXET BASIN.

WILL ALSO HAVE TO WATCH FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF ELEVATED THUNDER LATER
THIS AFTERNOON SOUTHERN ZONES AS THE DRY SLOT APPROACHES. LIGHTNING
PRESENT WELL S OF THE COAST WHICH IS WELL MODELED AND MODELS BRING
THIS INSTABILITY NWD INTO SNE AS TT SPIKE INTO MID 50S WITH NEG SWI
TOWARD 00Z. ADDED CHC THUNDER FOR NE CT...RI AND SE MA FOR LATER
TODAY.

WIND...WE ISSUED WIND ADVISORY FOR CAPE/ISLANDS FOR 3-6 HR PERIOD OF
STRONG E WINDS AS THE LLJ MOVES NWD. NOT THE MOST FAVORABLE MIXING
ENVIRONMENT BUT GOOD PRESSURE FALLS LIFTING NE FROM EASTERN LI
SHOULD HELP TO BRING DOWN SOME OF THE STRONGER WINDS ALOFT ESPECIALLY
AS TEMPS SPIKE INTO MID/UPPER 50S. STRONGEST WINDS MAY OCCUR OVER MVY
AND UPPER CAPE TO COASTAL PYM COUNTY WHERE MILDEST TEMPS.

IT REMAINS COOL NORTH OF THE COASTAL FRONT WITH TEMPS REMAINING IN
LOW/MID 40S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY/...
EXPECTING THE BRUNT OF THE HEAVY RAINFALL TO BE MOVING INTO NORTHERN
NEW ENGLAND OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...SCATTERED AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN OR
DRIZZLE LIKELY TO LINGER ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND MUCH OF THE
NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
MODELS ARE GENERALLY IN GOOD AGREEMENT THOUGH AS HAS BEEN THE TREND
FOR AT LEAST THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS THE 29/12Z ECMWF IS A BIT SLOWER
THAN THE 30/00Z GFS.  FOR WEDNESDAY...WILL LEAN MORE TOWARDS THE
NAM/SREF WHICH PRESENTS A MORE IN BETWEEN SOLUTION.  THURSDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY ARE PRETTY CLEAR CUT NO MATTER THE MODEL.  THEN
SUNDAY AND MONDAY WILL GO WITH A BLEND OF THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AND
THE GFS.

WEDNESDAY...COULD SEE SOME LINGERING SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA AS THE
STACKED LOW MOVES AWAY FROM SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  WILL SEE A
DRYING/CLEARING TREND THROUGH THE DAY.  DEFINITELY THE COOLEST TEMPS
OF THE LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST EXPECTED...THOUGH HIGHS
WILL BE RIGHT AROUND NORMAL FOR THE END OF MARCH.

THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION
WITH AN UPPER RIDGE MOVING OVERHEAD FRIDAY.  TEMPERATURES WILL WARM
THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH THE WARMEST TEMPERATURES SATURDAY OR
POSSIBLY SUNDAY.  850MB TEMPS IN THIS TIME PERIOD FORECAST TO BE
14-16C.  THIS WILL LEAD TO TEMPERATURES 15 TO 20 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE LOW 70S.  HAVE NOT STRAYED MUCH
FROM GUIDANCE WITH THESE TEMPERATURES.  IT IS POSSIBLE THAT TEMPS
MAY NEED TO BE RAISED OVER THIS TIME PERIOD.  HOWEVER...NORTHEAST
SURFACE WINDS MAY KEEP THINGS CLOSER TO OR COOLER THAN GUIDANCE.
THIS WILL ALSO KEEP COOLER TEMPERATURES ON THE EAST COAST AND
POSSIBLY RESULT IN SOME MARINE STRATUS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE EAST
COAST AT TIMES.  SATURDAY...SURFACE FLOW WILL SWITCH TO THE
SOUTHWEST WHICH /WITH A MORE DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT/ SHOULD LEAD TO
WARMER TEMPERATURES.

SUNDAY AND MONDAY...THIS IS WHERE THE MOST UNCERTAINTY LIES WITH
RESPECT TO TIMING.  THE 30/00Z GFS MOVES THE COLD FRONT THROUGH
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY AFTERNOON WHILE THE 29/12Z ECMWF MOVES
THE FRONT /WINDS AND MSLP/ THROUGH MONDAY MORNING.  HOWEVER...THE
ECMWF MOISTURE FIELDS HINT TO AN EARLIER FRONTAL PASSAGE MORE IN
LINE WITH THE GFS.  WITH THAT IN MIND...WILL BLEND THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST WITH THE GFS.  NOT SURE IF TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARMER THAN
SATURDAY AT THIS POINT.  MUCH DEPENDS ON THE TIMING OF THAT FRONT.
MAY REACH HIGHS SIMILAR TO SATURDAYS LATE MORNING TO AROUND NOON AND
THEN FALL IN THE AFTERNOON.  MONDAY SHOULD BE COOLER THAN SUNDAY...
BUT STILL ABOUT 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
TODAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE IFR ACROSS EASTERN MA AND RI. VFR LOWERING TO
IFR ACROSS WESTERN MA...SOUTHERN NH AND NORTHERN CT. MODERATE
CONFIDENCE LLWS ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS MIDDAY AS WELL AS
BAF/MHT.

TONIGHT...GENERAL MVFR...IFR OR LIFR CONDS EXPECTED IN RAIN/DRIZZLE
AND FOG. MEDIUM TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

WEDNESDAY...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE.  MVFR CONDITIONS TO START...POSSIBLY
IFR ON THE CAPE IN LINGERING SHOWERS AND LOW CLOUDS.  CONDITIONS
WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE FROM WEST TO EAST TO VFR.

THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE DAYTIME VFR.  LOW TO
MEDIUM CONFIDENCE MVFR/IFR IN FOG LOW LYING AREAS AND VALLEYS.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS GRADUALLY INCREASE THIS MORNING WITH THE APPROACH OF A LOW
PRESSURE FROM THE SOUTH. A PERIOD OF GALE FORCE EASTERLY WINDS
EXPECTED AS THE LOW LEVEL JET MOVES NORTH ACROSS THE REGION.

WINDS DIMINISH TONIGHT.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

WEDNESDAY...SEAS GENERALLY DIMINISH THOUGH SCA FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS
WILL BE NECESSARY.  NORTHEAST WINDS 10 TO 15 KTS SHIFT TO THE NORTH.

THURSDAY...SEAS FALL BELOW 5 FEET AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  NORTH WINDS 10 TO 20 KTS.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...SEAS 2 TO 4 FT.  NORTH WINDS 10 TO 15 KTS
SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST.

&&

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

A SERIOUS FLOOD SITUATION CONTINUES TO SHAPE UP ACROSS MUCH OF
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND FOR TODAY AS HEAVY RAINFALL CONTINUES TO FALL
EARLY THIS MORNING AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TODAY. RIVER FORECASTS
ARE IN COLLABORATION WITH NERFC.

A WIDESPREAD STORM TOTAL RAINFALL OF 3 TO 6 INCHES IS FORECAST IN
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THROUGH TODAY WITH AMOUNTS UP TO 7 OR 8 INCHES
POSSIBLE 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. RHODE ISLAND AND EASTERN MASS CONTINUES TO BE THE
FOCUS FOR MOST OF THE CONCERN...ESPECIALLY THOSE ALONG THE PAWTUXET
RIVER.

OVERALL...MOST MODEL QPF FORECASTS HAVE BEEN PRETTY GOOD OVER THE
LAST 12 TO 24 HOURS. A FEW RIVERS LOCATED NEAR THE WESTERN EDGE OF
THE PRECIPITATION SHIELD HAVE BEEN A BIT SLOW TO RESPOND OVERNIGHT.
HOWEVER...AS THE LOW LEVEL JET AXIS PIVOTS LATER THIS MORNING AND
AFTERNOON...AREAS ACROSS NORTHEAST MASS AS WELL AS CENTRAL AND
WESTERN MASS AND SOUTHERN NH WILL GET INTO THE HEAVIER RAINFALL AS
WELL. THIS WILL ALLOW RIVERS TO RESPOND QUITE QUICKLY REACH VERY
CLOSE TO FORECAST CRESTS LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT.

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 THROUGH TODAY.

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. LOCALIZED LIFE-THREATENING SITUATIONS ARE
LIKELY TO DEVELOP.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR EAST COASTAL MA FOR THE MIDDAY
HIGH TIDE TODAY. TIDES RUNNING ABOUT 1 FOOT ABOVE NORMAL ON THE EAST
COAST. A 1 TO 1.5 SURGE WOULD RESULT IN MINOR FLOODING AS A WORST
CASE SCENARIO AS SEAS NOT BUILT UP ENOUGH. BUOY 44013 ONLY AT 5 FEET
BUT HIGHER SEAS OFF NANTUCKET.

MINOR SPLASHOVER POSSIBLE NEAR MIDNIGHT HIGH TIDE CYCLE TONIGHT.
