Special Weather Statement, NWS Boston/Norton, MA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
211 PM EDT SAT JUN 5 2010

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

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
MORNING CONVECTION ASSOCD WITH THE WARM FRONT WILL BE EXITING TO THE
EAST BY MIDDAY. LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG WILL SLOWLY ERODE OVER THE
CAPE AND ISLANDS...OTHERWISE WE HAVE LOTS OF BREAKS DEVLEOPING WHICH
WILL LEAD TO AT LEAST PTSUNNY SKIES THIS AFTERNOON.

THE MAIN CONCERN FOR LATER TODAY IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER
AS COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NW. ATMOSPHER ALREADY QUITE
UNSTABLE IN THE INTERIOR WITH SBCAPES 2000+ J/KG IN THE CT VALLEY AND
MLCAPES AROUND 1000 J/KG. WITH TEMPS RISING INTO THE 80S AND
DEWPOINTS UPPER 60S FURTHER DESTABILIZATION WILL OCCUR WITH VERY
UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT AND EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO REDEVELOP IN THE
INTERIOR AFTER 2 PM.

WIND FIELD BECOMES STRONG LATER TODAY AS MID LEVEL JET MOVES INTO
THE REGION WITH WESTERLY 0-6KM SHEAR AROUND 50 KT. ORGANIZED SEVERE
WX WITH SUPERCELLS POSSIBLE GIVEN MAGNITUDE OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND
WE WILL ISSUE SPS TO HIGHLIGHT THIS POTENTIAL.

THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD TEND TO WEAKEN AS THEY MOVE INTO THE COASTAL
PLAIN LATER TODAY AS SW FLOW OFF COOLER WATER WILL RESULT IN MORE
STABLE ENVRIONMENT NEAR THE COAST.

PWATS ALSO CONTINUE AROUND 2 INCHES...SO WILL ALSO SEE SOME HEAVY
DOWNPOURS WITH ANY SHOWERS/STORMS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SUNDAY/...
TONIGHT...EXPECT THREAT OF TSTMS TO DIMINISH BY AROUND MIDNIGHT...
BUT WILL STILL SEE SCT SHOWERS ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION AS THE
FRONT STALLS. LOOKS LIKE NEXT LOW STARTS TO APPROACH BY DAYBREAK
WITH RENEWED ENHANCEMENT OF SHOWERS. OVERNIGHT LOWS MAINLY IN THE
60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
DID NOT LOOK AT OR MODIFY THE FORECAST AFTER MONDAY DUE TO THE
CONVECTION EARLY THIS MORNING.

05/00Z MODELS ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO WARRANT USING THE CONSENSUS
SOLUTION AS BASIS FOR THIS FORECAST. STILL SOME MINOR TIMING AND
TRACK DIFFERENCES...BUT DEFINITELY SMALLER DISCREPANCIES THAN FROM A
FEW DAYS AGO.

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 CHANGE TO THIS FORECAST WAS TO INCREASE POPS TO CATEGORICAL
ALONG AND NORTH OF I-90 IN MA FOR SUNDAY. MAINTAINED LIKELY POPS
ELSEWHERE. ALSO BASED ON THE CONSENSUS TRACK AND FORECAST STABILITY
INDICES...WE HAVE BROUGHT CHANCE POPS FOR THUNDER TO MOST OF
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AT SOME POINT SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. THINKING
MAIN THREAT WILL BE ACROSS INTERIOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND DURING THE
AFTERNOON...THEN THE THREAT SHIFTS TOWARD SOUTHEAST MA FOR THE
EVENING. 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 EQUIVALENT
AT 800 MB...THIS SHOULD SUPPORT MAX TEMPS IN THE 70S. DEW POINTS 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.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THROUGH EARLY EVENING...AREAS OF IFR WILL LIKELY PERSIST OVER CAPE
AND ISLANDS WITH LIFR FOG AT ACK. MVFR CONDITIONS OVER PVD WILL
IMPROVE TO VFR. ELSW...VFR CIGS BUT CONDITIONS BRIEFLY LOWERING TO
MVFR/IFR IN ANY TSTMS THAT DEVELOP...GREATEST PROBABILITY INTERIOR
TERMINALS. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY THUNDER AT THE TAF SITES YET...HANDLED
WITH CB.

TONIGHT...CONFIDENCE ON EXTENT OF FOG AND STRATUS IS LOW. GREATEST
PROBABILITY OF PERSISTENT IFR/LIFR WILL BE OVER CAPE/ISLANDS. LOW
PROB OF THESE CONDITIONS SPREADING INLAND TO PVD-SE MA BUT WE
MAINTAINED VFR CONDITIONS. SHOWERS/ELEVATED THUNDER WITH MVFR MOVING
INTO W ZONES LATE TONIGHT.

SUNDAY...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE. AREAS OF MVFR/IFR DEVELOPING...ESPECIALLY
NORTH AS NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND SCT TSTMS MOVE THROUGH ALONG THE WFNT.
AREAS OF IFR CAPE/ISLANDS IN THE MORNING BUT CONDITIONS MAY IMPROVE
TO VFR IN THE WARM SECTOR...ESPECIALLY IN THE COASTAL PLAIN. MORE
TSTMS POSSIBLY DEVELOPING AHEAD OF COLD FRONT IN THE AFTERNOON. GUSTY
SW WINDS 25-30 KT DEVELOPING BY MIDDAY.

KBOS...VFR CIGS THIS AFTERNOON MAY BRIEFLY LOWER TO MVFR IN ANY
TSTMS. TSTMS DEVELOPING TO THE WEST BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW THAT ANY
PARTICULAR TSTM WILL MOVE OVER THE AIRFIELD SO KEPT OUT OF TAF FOR
NOW. MEDIUM CONFIENCE VFR TONIGHT AS FOG AND STRATUS SHOULD BE
CONFINED CLOSER TO THE S COAST. MEDIUM CONFIDENCE OF AREAS OF MVFR
DEVELOPING SUNDAY AS SHOWERS AND SCT TSTMS MOVE IN DURING THE
MORNING...BUT POSSIBLY IMPROVING TO VFR IN THE AFTERNOON IN THE WARM
SECTOR.  GUSTY SW WINDS TO 25 KT DEVELOPING BY MIODAY SUNDAY.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...VFR. POSSIBLE PATCHY IFR IN MORNING FOG.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...S-SW WINDS MAY GUST UP TO 20 KT. EXPECT SEAS TO REMAIN
BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA. VSBYS LOWERED IN PATCHY DENSE FOG
THROUGH MIDDAY.

TONIGHT...SW WINDS GUSTING AROUND 20 KT. SEAS START TO BUILD AGAIN
ON THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS...SO MIGHT NEED SMALL CRAFT. PATCHY
DENSE FOG MAY REDEVELOP.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SUNDAY...WIND GUSTS UP TO 30 KNOTS AND ROUGH SEAS EXPECTED ALONG
WITH SHOWERS AND SCATTERED TSTMS. HIGHEST LIKELIHOOD IS ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN OUTER COASTAL WATERS.

MONDAY...LINGERING ROUGH SEAS ON THE WATERS SOUTH AND EAST OF
NANTUCKET. OTHERWISE DIMINISHING WIND AND SEAS.

TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY...WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN LIGHT.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
KBOX RADAR...WILL BE DOWN FOR A GOOD PORTION OF TODAY. EMERGENCY
PARTS ON ORDER. HOPE TO RETURN TO SERVICE LATER TODAY.

BUOY 44098 EXPECTED TO BE REPAIRED SOME TIME NEXT WEEK.

BOSTON BUOY 44013 REPAIR WILL BE LONGER AS THIS BUOY ENCOUNTERED A
VESSEL COLLISION AND WILL REQUIRE A REPLACEMENT BUOY. OUTAGE TIME IS
