AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
429 PM EDT FRI JUN 4 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A STATIONARY FRONT WILL WAVER NORTH AND SOUTH ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND THIS WEEKEND AS WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE MOVE ALONG IT. THE
FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND LATE SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN EARLY TO MID WEEK WITH DRIER SEASONABLE AIR. LOW PRESSURE
MAY BRING ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
PLEASANT EVENING AHEAD WITH DIURNAL CUMULUS CLOUDS FADING LOSS OF
DAYTIME HEATING. THUS DRY WEATHER WILL PREVAIL THIS EVENING. MILD
CONDITIONS INLAND WITH DEW PTS IN THE U50S AND L60S PRECLUDING A
RAPID TEMP DROP.

FROM MIDNIGHT AND BEYOND WARM FRONT SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND WILL BEGIN
TO LIFT NORTH TOWARD THE REGION. CONVECTION LATE THIS AFTERNOON
ACROSS THE OH/PA AND THE DC AREA WILL BEGIN TAKING AIM AT SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND. INSTABILITY ALOFT ALONG WITH DEEP LAYER SHEAR VALUES
ARE MARGINAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER. SO MORE LIKELY SCENARIO IS FOR SOME
ELEVATED CONVECTION TO ROLL ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT WITH MOST OR
ALL STORMS REMAINING SUB-SEVERE.

PWATS CLIMB ABOVE 1.5 INCHES SO ANY STORM WILL BE CAPABLE OF HEAVY
DOWNPOURS.

FOG AND STRATUS SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST OF LONG ISLAND WILL LIKELY ROLL
ONSHORE OF RI AND SOUTHEAST MA LATER THIS EVENING AS BOUNDARY LAYER
COOLS AFTER SUNSET. EXPECT AREAS OF FOG WITH PATCHES OF DENSE FOG
ESPECIALLY ACROSS RI AND SOUTHEAST MA AS WARM FRONT APPROACHES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
SATURDAY...
WARM FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE REGION IN THE MORNING. EXPECTING
SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE TSTMS DURING THIS TIME WITH THIS FEATURE.
CONVECTION SHOULD EXIT THE AREA BY MID TO LATE MORNING WITH WARM
SECTOR OVERSPREADING THE REGION DURING THE AFTERNOON.

THEN QUESTION THEN BECOMES DO SHOWERS AND TSTMS DEVELOP IN THE WARM
SECTOR DURING THE AFTN AND WILL ANY STORMS BECOME SEVERE. ALL MODEL
GUIDANCE SUGGEST SEVERE PARAMETERS /INSTABILITY ALOFT-DEEP LAYER
SHEAR AND FORCING/ ARE ALL MARGINAL. IN ADDITION...BOTH NAM AND GFS
HAVE SURFACE DEW PTS CLIMBING INTO THE LOW AND MID 70S WHICH OFFERS
VERY LARGE CAPE OF 2000-3000J/KG. MEANWHILE MOS FROM BOTH THE NAM
AND GFS OFFER MORE TAME SFC DEW PTS IN THE M60S. THIS IS LIKELY MORE
REALISTIC. OTHER POSSIBLE LIMITING FACTOR IS THAT THE FLOW IS FAIRLY
PROGRESSIVE WITH THE NEXT SHORT WAVE TROF QUICKLY ON ITS HEELS
ARRIVING HERE LATE SAT NGT. SO THERE MAY BE ENOUGH SHORT WAVE
RIDGING BETWEEN DEPARTING TROF SAT AM AND NEXT SHORT WAVE ARRIVING
SAT NGT TO PROVIDE SOMEWHAT OF A CAP HERE AND LIMIT TSTM COVERAGE.

SO THINKING THE OVERALL THREAT IS MARGINAL. WILL FORECAST SCATTERED
TSTMS WITH POSSIBLE A FEW STORMS BECOMING STRONG TO SEVERE. WILL ADD
ENHANCED WORDING FOR GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL. APPEARS PARAMETERS
ARE MORE FAVORABLE ACROSS RI AND EASTERN MA. MORE CERTAIN THAT HEAVY
DOWNPOURS WILL BE LIKELY AS PWATS CLIMB TO NEAR 2.0 INCHES.

SAT NIGHT...
NEXT SHORT WAVE TROF EXITS THE OH VLY AND APPROACHES SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL INCREASE ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT
FROM WEST TO EAST. MILD AND HUMID NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
ZONAL FLOW STARTS TO BEND SUNDAY AS THE QUEBEC UPPER LOW DIGS A
SHORTWAVE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES WHICH THEN SWEEPS ACROSS NEW
ENGLAND MONDAY. THE GENERAL TREND FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK WILL THEN BE
BUILDING HEIGHTS ALOFT AS AN UPPER RIDGE SHIFTS EAST.

SUNDAY...
MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE COMES SUNDAY WITH THE POSITION OF THE
STALLED FRONT AND RESULTING TRACK OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE ALONG IT.
THE NAM AND GLOBAL GEM TRACK THE LOW ALONG THE NH BORDER WHILE THE
GFS TAKES THE LOW THROUGH CT. THE 12Z ECMWF IS SIMILAR TO THE GFS BUT
SLIGHTLY MORE NORTH. CONSENSUS TRACK POSITION WOULD BE ACROSS
NORTHERN CT OR ALONG THE BORDER OF CT/RI WITH MASS. WE USED THIS
CONSENSUS FOR THE FORECAST.

BASED ON THE TRACK...WE MAINTAINED STRONG LIKELY POPS ALL ZONES.
TEMPTATION WAS TO BUMP UP TO CATEGORICAL BUT THE FORECAST TRACK HAS
SHIFTED ENOUGH IN RECENT DAYS TO BRING SOME HESITIATION. IF THIS
FORECAST TRACK IS REPEATED ON THE 00Z MODEL SUITE THEN CATEGORICAL
POPS MAY BE JUSTIFIED. ALSO BASED ON THE TRACK AND ON FORECAST
STABILITY INDICIES WE HAVE BROUGHT CHANCE POPS FOR THUNDER TO CT-RI-
SE MASS AND NO THUNDER NORTH OF I-90. FORECAST PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES CONTINUE 1.7 TO 2.0 INCHES...SO HEAVY DOWNPOURS ARE LIKELY AS
WELL.

TEMPS ARE A BLEND OF MAV AND MET MOS VALUES...SHIFTED AS NECESSARY TO
ALLOW FOR A DIURNAL RANGE AROUND 10F.

MONDAY-TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION EARLY WEEK. THE UPPER TROF NOTED
ABOVE ROTATES THROUGH NEW ENGLAND MONDAY WITH SOME COOLING ALOFT.
THIS COULD RESULT IN A FEW MORE CLOUDS THAN FORECAST...ESPECIALLY IN
SRN NH/NORTHERN MASS...AND POSSIBLE WIDELY SCATTERED
SHOWERS/SPRINKLES. 850 MB TEMPS 6-8C WITH SLIGHTLY WARMER EQUIVILENT
AT 800 MB...THIS SHOULD SUPPORT MAX TEMPS IN THE 70S. DEWPOINTS IN
THE 40S AND LOW 50S SHOULD SUPPORT MIN TEMPS AROUND 50 OR IN THE 50S.

THURSDAY
LOW PRESSURE FROM THE PLAINS APPROACHES THURSDAY. THE ECMWF AND GFS
INDICATE A SYSTEM PASSING ON THURSDAY...POSSIBLY SPINNING UP A
COASTAL LOW AS IT PASSES. WE WILL BRING CHANCE POPS FOR SHOWERS AND
AWAIT FURTHER MODEL SUITES.

FRIDAY
HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS WITH DRY WEATHER.

&&
