AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
319 PM EDT TUE JUN 1 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...
BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STRONG THUNDERSTORMS. A WARM
AND DRY DAY IS ON TAP FOR WEDNESDAY AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
ACROSS THE AREA. WARM AND HUMID WEATHER WILL FOLLOW INTO THE WEEKEND...
BUT A SERIES OF FRONTS SHOULD BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING/...
315 PM: SMW VERIFIED WITH 45KTS AT EASTERN POINT MA AT 301 PM PER
MESONET SENSOR. ALSO VERIFIED SVR WITH LARGE LIMBS DOWN IN AUBURN MA
AT 3 PM.

145PM: WILL TRIM SEVERE RISK NW OF THE LINE IN ORH COUNTY INTO S NH.
LINE GROWING SLOWLY. LOTS OF RAIN EMBEDDED BUT LIMITED SHEAR MAY BE
MORE LIMITING THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. STILL MOST FAVORED AREA
APPEARS TO BE NE MASS. STORMS MOVING INTO MOST POTENT REGION IN THE
NEXT HR.  IF NO SVR BY 430P...THEN NONE EXPECTED.

1015 AM: BRIEFLY REVIEWED THE 12Z NAM...UPDATED FOR SVR STORMS.
THINK BEST CHC OF SVR IS WITHIN 20-30 MI EITHER SIDE OF THE MASS PIKE
THIS AFTN WHERE GREATEST INSTABILITY. I JUST DONT WANT TO SCRAMBLE
UPDATING EARLY THIS AFTN FOR SVR AND PUT IT IN THE ZONES NOW.

LESS CERTAIN ON SVR RISK FOR S NH BUT ITS IN THE ZONES NOW AND WE
WILL GO WITH IT TILL IT CANNOT OCCUR.

9AM: RAN THE 12Z ALB SOUNDING FOR 81/65.  CONSULTED WITH SPC AT 1215Z.
WHILE NO SPC OUTLOOK YET AND BULK SHEAR LOOKS MARGINAL...BLV
UNIDIRECTIONAL WSW FLOW AND GOOD TIMING OF INSTABILITY/DECENT CAPE
WILL PERMIT SCT SVR BDL-PYM NORTHWARD THIS AFTN WITH SMW STORMS ALL
THE WAY TO PTOWN/WELLFLEET VERY LATE THIS AFTN. AM LOOKING FOR STORMS
TO TRIGGER AT 79F... EL TO ME SEEMS TO BE 33K WITH TROP 42.

LOOKING FOR MORE WIND REPORTS THAN HAIL BUT MAY NEED TO REVISE AT
1030AM BASED ON 12Z NAM. SKYWARN PRESENCE MAY BE NEEDED IN THE OFFICE
BEGINNING AT NOON OR 1 PM. PWAT 1.8. TT 50. GOOD WIND IN THE 12Z ALB
SOUNDING.

OTRW BELOW FROM 4AM...

FOR TODAY...ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS ARE EXPECTED AS LOW
PRES MOVES ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND WITH ITS ASSOCIATED COLD
FRONT CROSSING THE REGION. WITH THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASING
OVERNIGHT...CAN EXPECT SOME HEFTY DOWNPOURS WITH SOME OF THESE TSTMS
WITH PW/S AROUND 2 INCHES. MODELS ALSO CONTINUE TO INDICATE PRETTY
GOOD AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY IN PLACE. HOWEVER...WITH A LOT OF DEBRIS
CLOUDS IN PLACE THANKS TO THE EARLY MORNING CONVECTION...MAY HAVE A
TOUGH TIME GENERATING STRONG STORMS. THERE ARE CAPE VALUES AT AROUND
1000 J/KG AND LI/S AROUND -2 TO -3.  WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE
SOME ISOLATED SEVERE ACTIVITY...ESPECIALLY IF THE SUN BREAKS OUT.

ANOTHER TOUGH PART OF THIS FORECAST WILL BE MAX TEMPS...WHICH WILL
BE DEPENDENT BECAUSE OF THE CLOUD COVER. FOR NOW...DID LOWER THE
HIGHS A BIT...THINKING THAT THERE WILL BE QUITE A FEW CLOUDS AROUND.
WILL PROBABLY STILL SEE READINGS UP TO AROUND 80 ACROSS MOST AREAS
EXCEPT THE S COAST...CAPE AND ISLANDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /8 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
TONIGHT...EXPECT THE FRONT TO PUSH OFFSHORE THIS EVENING. WILL SEE
SHOWERS AND SCT TSTMS ACROSS CT/RI/SE MA POSSIBLY INTO BOSTON AT
AROUND 00Z...BUT SHOULD PUSH OFFSHORE BY AROUND MIDNIGHT. COULD
LINGER A BIT LONGER ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. DRIER AIR WILL WORK IN
LATER TONIGHT...THOUGH LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG MIGHT LINGER ON THE
S COAST. EXPECT OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S.

SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL LIKELY BE IN AN AREA OF WEAK SHORTWAVE
RIDGING WEDNESDAY. THIS SHOULD MEAN DRY AND WARM CONDITIONS ALONG
WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT OFFSHORE WED NIGHT. NEXT COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO APPROACH THU AS LOW PRESSURE HEADS UP ST LAWRENCE VALLEY.
GFS REMAINS SLOWER THAN MODEL CONSENSUS...BRINGING FRONT THROUGH THU
NIGHT AS OPPOSED TO THU AFTERNOON/EVENING. ALTHOUGH WE THINK GFS IS
PROBABLY TOO SLOW...FACT THAT FRONT BECOMES PARALLEL TO UPPER FLOW
SHOULD PREVENT IT FROM MOVING THROUGH TOO QUICKLY /AS WOULD SURFACE
LOW FORMATION ALONG FRONT/.

WE WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS THU AFTERNOON/EVENING AHEAD OF FRONT...
BUT THIS MAY BE MORE OF A LATER EVENT /THU NIGHT/ WHEN STRONGER LIFT
ASSOCIATED WITH MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE MOVES THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. THIS SCENARIO IS DEPICTED BEST BY 09Z SREF/06Z GEFS. AS A
RESULT INCREASED POPS TO LIKELY THU NIGHT.

SEVERE POTENTIAL IS THERE BUT IS UNCERTAIN DUE TO EXTENT OF CLOUD
COVER AND RESULTANT HEATING. MODELS SHOW DECENT MID LEVEL WIND FIELD
40-50KT MOVING THROUGH REGION DURING AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ECWMF IS
MOST PRONOUNCED WITH THIS THREAT SHOWING POTENTIAL FOR 90 DEGREE
HEAT. LATER FORECASTS MAY NEED TO ADJUST FURTHER FOR A GREATER
CONVECTIVE THREAT.

FORECAST BECOMES MORE UNCERTAIN INTO WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK.
COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO HANG UP NEAR OR JUST S OF NEW ENGLAND FRI
AND SAT...BEFORE ANOTHER LOW TRACKS FROM UPPER GREAT LAKES INTO
SOUTHERN CANADA. THIS SHOULD BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF WET WEATHER LATE
SAT INTO SUN...ALTHOUGH PATTERN DOES NOT APPEAR TO FAVOR A WASHOUT.
SHOULD SEE SCATTERED SHOWERS/POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS FROM TIME TO
TIME. DRIER WEATHER SHOULD RETURN LATER MON INTO TUE AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS E INTO MID ATLANTIC STATES.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THIS AFTERNOON...HIGH CONFIDENCE OF VFR-MVFR CIGS FOR MOST AREAS.
MODERATE CONFIDENCE OF MVFR- IFR CIGS/VSBYS IN SHOWERS AND TSTMS. MAY
SEE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND SMALL HAIL AND SFC GUST 38-48 KT IN
SOME STORMS ESP VCNTY BAF ORH AND BOS. ATTEMPTED TIMING IN THE 18Z TAFS.
JUST DO NOT HAVE IDEAL HANDLE ON THIS IN PROGRESS EVENT.

SW GUST 30 KTS VCNTY ORH AND BOS THIS AFTN IN GRADIENT FLOW SEPARATE
FROM WLY TSTM OUTFLOW.

IFR CIGS DEVELOPING S COAST NOW AND THE QUESTION...HOW FAR N DOES
THIS DEVELOP BEFORE BL WIND SHEARS THE IFR CIGS EAST.

KBOS...VFR CIGS. MODERATE CONFIDENCE OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN
SHOWERS/TSTMS 330P-6P THIS AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS MAINLY CENTRAL AND
EASTERN AREAS THROUGH 01Z...THEN IMPROVING TO VFR. IFR CIGS/CONDS IN
ST DEVELOPING FOG MAY LINGER ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS THROUGH
11Z OR SO.

KBOS...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS THROUGH
01Z...THEN IMPROVING TO VFR.

WEDNESDAY...MEDIUM TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS IN BETWEEN
COLD FRONTS.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...

WED NIGHT...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE. VFR.
THU INTO FRI...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE. MVFR IN SCTD SHRA/TS...ESPECIALLY
LATE THU INTO EARLY FRI.
SAT...LOW CONFIDENCE. MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY S COAST.
SUN...LOW CONFIDENCE. MVFR IN SCTD SHRA.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...HAVE EXTENDED THE SMALL CRAFT TO INCLUDE ALL WATERS THIS AFTN.
EXPECT S-SW WINDS TO GUST TO 25-30 KT AS LOW LEVEL JET PASSES ACROSS
THE WATERS AHEAD OF APPROACHING COLD FRONT. SEAS MAY REACH 5-6 FT ON
THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS.

TONIGHT...WILL STILL SEE SW WINDS GUSTING UP TO 25 KT MAINLY ON THE
WATERS E AND S OF CAPE COD SOUTHWARD...THEN WILL DIMINISH AS THEY
SHIFT TO W AFTER MIDNIGHT.  SEAS WILL REMAIN AROUND 5 FT. WAVE
FORECAST FROM WNA WAVEWATCH MODEL APPEARED TO BE UP TO 3 FEET TOO
HIGH SO CUT BACK.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...

PERSISTENT SW WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BRING SLOWLY BUILDING SEAS ALONG
S COASTAL WATERS THU INTO FRI...WHICH MAY REQUIRE SCA /4 TO 7 FT/.
SEAS SHOULD SUBSIDE OVER WEEKEND AS FLOW BECOMES OFFSHORE. SERIES OF
COLD FRONTS WILL BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS TO WATERS...
ESPECIALLY THU NIGHT INTO FRI AND SAT NIGHT INTO SUN.
