AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
531 PM EDT FRI JUL 16 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
HOT AND HUMID WEATHER WILL BE IN PLACE THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS...WHICH ARE MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR EARLY
TONIGHT AND AGAIN SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. IT SHOULD TURN A LITTLE
LESS HUMID NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
FORECASTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO ADJUST POPS THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT.
LATEST RADAR LOOP SHOWS LEADING EDGE OF SHOWERS/STORMS ENTERING
WESTERN NEW ENGLAND LATE THIS AFTERNOON. MODELS SHOW WEAKENING AS
STORMS HEAD FARTHER E EARLY THIS EVENING...AS THEY SHOW STORMS
ACROSS PA/SE NY BECOMING DOMINANT ACTIVITY. THIS MAKES SENSE GIVEN
INSTABILITY AXIS EXTENDING FROM NJ INTO NYC AND CT WHERE SB CAPES
ARE AS HIGH AS 2000-3000 J/KG.

MAIN SEVERE THREAT WILL BE FROM BERKSHIRES TO CT VALLEY AND
POSSIBLY WORCESTER HILLS THROUGH 8 PM OR SO...WITH WIND DAMAGE
MAIN HAZARD. LOOKS LIKE WEAKENING ACTIVITY AT BEST ACROSS RI AND
EASTERN MA LATER THIS EVENING.

LOW CLOUDS MAY AFFECT THE SOUTH COAST/CAPE/ISLANDS AGAIN TONIGHT.
HOWEVER...DO NOT EXPECT THESE LOW CLOUDS TO MAKE IT MUCH FURTHER
NORTHWEST THAN THAT AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS WILL BE SOUTHWEST
TONIGHT. WE STILL MAY SEE SOME PATCHY GROUND FOG FOR A FEW HOURS
IN THE TYPICALLY PRONE LOCATIONS. IT WILL REMAIN MUGGY TONIGHT
WITH LOWS RANGING FROM THE MID TO UPPER 60S ACROSS THE
INTERIOR...AND BETWEEN 70 AND 75 ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
SATURDAY...
PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND 850 MB TEMPERATURES WARMING TO
BETWEEN +17C AND +18C WILL MAKE FOR A HOT DAY.  SOUTHWEST WINDS AND
EXCELLENT MIXING WILL RESULT IN HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER TO
MIDDLE 90S ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION...ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE COOLER ON
THE CAPE/ISLANDS WITH A MARINE INFLUENCE.  HEAT INDICES WILL BE WELL
UP INTO THE 90S...BUT LOWERING DEWPOINTS SHOULD KEEP THINGS JUST
BELOW HEAT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS.

SATURDAY NIGHT...
STRONG SURFACE HEATING AND A BIT OF COOLING ALOFT MAY BE ENOUGH TO
TRIGGER A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TO THE NORTH AND WEST
OF OUR REGION LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING.  ITS POSSIBLE THAT A
FEW OF THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WORK INTO OUR REGION SATURDAY
EVENING.  AREAL COVERAGE SHOULD BE RATHER LIMITED WITH THE BEST
CHANCE IN OUR NORTHERN/WESTERN ZONES.  FOR NOW WILL JUST RUN WITH
SOME 20 TO 30 POPS TO COVER THIS POTENTIAL.

IF A COUPLE OF SHOWERS/STORMS DO MAKE IT INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
THEY SHOULD EXIT THE REGION BY OR SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT.  LOWS
SHOULD RANGE FROM THE 60S ACROSS THE INTERIOR...TO THE LOWER 70S
ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...
 * VERY WARM BUT SLIGHTLY LESS HUMID NEXT WEEK
 * BEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS SUN NIGHT-MON AND TUE NIGHT/EARLY WED

DETAILS...
ZONAL FLOW EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK WHICH WILL MAINTAIN VERY WARM TEMPERATURES. THIS SHOULD ALSO
KEEP MORE TROPICAL AIR /70+ DEWPOINTS/ CONFINED S OF NEW ENGLAND
RESULTING IN SOMEWHAT MORE COMFORTABLE HUMIDITY. HOWEVER BY END OF
WEEK LOW LEVEL FLOW TURNS MORE SOUTHERLY...SO WE COULD BE BACK
INTO HIGHER HUMIDITY BY DAY 7.

STILL LOOKING AT A PATTERN FEATURING SEVERAL WEAK FRONTAL PASSAGES...
NONE OF WHICH IS EXPECTED TO BRING SIGNIFICANT COOLING. LEANED
TOWARD ENSEMBLES /06Z GEFS/ FOR TIMING OF PRECIPITATION SINCE
THERE IS A LOT OF VARIABILITY AMONG OPERATIONAL MODELS. THIS SUGGESTS
SUN NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY MON...BEFORE NEXT FRONT PUSHES THROUGH
TUE NIGHT AND EARLY WED. THEREAFTER IT LOOKS LIKE FEW DAYS OF DRY
WEATHER AS SYSTEMS ARE SUPPRESSED TO OUR S AND WEAK HIGH PRESSURE
IS ABLE TO DOMINATE. ANOTHER FRONT TRIES TO APPROACH FRI BUT WE DO
NOT HAVE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO GO HIGHER THAN SLIGHT CHANCE AT THIS
TIME.

OVERALL SEVERE THREAT LOOKS MINIMAL EARLY NEXT WEEK DUE TO WEAK
WIND FIELDS ALOFT. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE RESPECTABLE
/AROUND 1.5 INCHES/ BUT NOT NEARLY AS HIGH AS THEY HAVE BEEN IN
THE PAST WEEK. SO WE FAVOR POTENTIAL FOR STRONG OR PERHAPS
ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS IN THIS PATTERN WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
TONIGHT...
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS LATE THIS AFTERNOON ALTHOUGH ONE BATCH OF LOW
CLOUDS WAS AFFECTING THE CAPE/ISLANDS BRINGING MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS.

SCTD TSTMS MAY BRING BRIEF MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS ACROSS MAINLY
INTERIOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS EVENING. MAIN TIME FRAME FOR
TSTMS IS 00Z-02Z BAF/BDL AND 01Z-03Z ORH/MHT. LITTLE OR NO CHANCE
OF TSTMS AT OTHER TAF SITES.

LOW CLOUDS MAY CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE SOUTH COAST/CAPE/ISLAND
TONIGHT.  HOWEVER...SOUTHWEST WINDS SHOULD PREVENT THEM FROM GETTING
MUCH FURTHER NORTHWEST.  HOWEVER...STILL MAY SEE SOME LOCAL MVFR-IFR
CONDITIONS IN PATCHY GROUND FOG ACROSS THE TYPICALLY PRONE LOCATIONS.

KBOS TERMINAL...MEDIUM TO HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR. ISOLD TSTM
POSSIBLE 02Z-04Z BUT NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO INCLUDE IN TAF. MAY
ALSO SEE BRIEF MVFR IN HZ OVERNIGHT.

SATURDAY...
HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION.  LOW
CLOUDS/FOG PATCHES ACROSS THE CAPE/ISLANDS SHOULD DISSIPATE BY LATE
MORNING.

SATURDAY NIGHT...
MEDIUM TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS.  A FEW ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS MAY RESULT IN BRIEFLY LOWER CONDITIONS DURING THE
EVENING.  THERE MAY ALSO BE A TOUCH OF PATCHY GROUND FOG IN THE
TYPICALLY PRONE LOCATIONS LATE.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SUN NIGHT AND MON...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE. MVFR IN SCTD SHRA/TS. IFR
POSSIBLE NEAR S COAST IN LOW CLOUDS/FOG.
TUE...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE. VFR...BUT MVFR POSSIBLE LATE IN SCTD SHRA/TS.
WED...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE. IMPROVING TO VFR BY AFTERNOON.

&&

.MARINE...
THE BERMUDA HIGH WILL CONTINUE TO RESULT IN SOUTHWEST WINDS TONIGHT
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.  WNA MODEL TENDS TO BE OVERDONE IN THESE
SITUATIONS...BUT HAS BEEN A BIT BETTER AS OF LATE.  THEREFORE...WILL
CONTINUE THE POTENTIAL FOR MARGINAL 5 FOOT SEAS ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN
WATERS TONIGHT AND AT TIMES SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT WITH THE LONG
SOUTHWEST FETCH.  AS FOR WINDS...THEY SHOULD GENERALLY REMAIN BELOW
SCA THRESHOLDS.  HOWEVER...NEAR SHORE SOUTHWEST WIND GUSTS IN THE 20
TO 25 KNOT RANGE ARE POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING
HOURS.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY

PERSISTENT SW FLOW WILL BRING SEAS TO SCA ON S COASTAL WATERS
THROUGH PERIOD. MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS SEAS PEAK NEAR 7 FT S OF
MARTHAS VINEYARD AND NANTUCKET EARLY IN WEEK.

APPROACHING COLD FRONT MON SHOULD BRING 25KT GUSTS TO AT LEAST
NEAR SHORE WATERS BEFORE WINDS DIMINISH MON NIGHT. OTHERWISE WINDS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SCA THROUGH PERIOD.

POTENTIAL FOR LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING DENSE FOG NEAR S
COAST...ESPECIALLY SUN NIGHT/MON. BEST CHANCES FOR THUNDER APPEAR
TO BE SUN NIGHT/MON AND AGAIN TUE NIGHT/EARLY WED.

&&

.BOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CT...NONE.
MA...NONE.
NH...NONE.
RI...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS UNTIL NOON EDT
