AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
743 PM EDT THU MAR 25 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
SHOWERY RAINS WILL ACCOMPANY A FRONTAL PASSAGE TONIGHT...POSSIBLY
ENDING AS AN HOUR OR TWO OF SNOW OR SLEET FRIDAY MORNING ACROSS THE
HIGHER TERRAIN. UNSEASONABLY CHILLY AND DRY WEATHER FOLLOWS FRIDAY
AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY MORNING AS A HIGH PRESSURE APPROACHES. THIS
HIGH DEPARTS SEAWARD SUNDAY AFTERNOON...AND SHOULD BE FOLLOWED BY
ANOTHER LARGE AND LONG-DURATION PRECIPITATION EVENT FOR OUR AREA
EARLY NEXT WEEK. DRIER WEATHER IS THEN EXPECTED FOR THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 4 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO OVERSPREAD SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND OVERNIGHT.
A COLD FRONT MOVES EASTWARD TONIGHT WITH A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC. THIS FRONT WILL BRING ANOTHER
ROUND OF PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA...THOUGH GENERALLY IN THE HALF AN
INCH TO AN INCH RANGE. THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS OF PRECIPITATION WILL
FALL SOUTH AND EAST OF A BOSTON TO PROVIDENCE LINE WHERE
PRECIPITATION WILL LAST THE LONGEST. WHILE PRECIPITATION WILL
MOSTLY FALL AS RAIN...THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF A BRIEF PERIOD OF
SNOW/SLEET OR A MIX ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF NW MA/SW NH. THE
DECIDING FACTOR THERE WILL BE IF IT GETS COLD ENOUGH BEFORE THE
PRECIPITATION MOVES OUT OF THE AREA. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND
THE FRONT MAY AID IN THIS OCCURRING A BIT MORE QUICKLY. IN ANY
CASE...IT SHOULD ONLY BE A COUPLE OF HOURS AND ACCUMULATE LESS THAN
AN INCH ON GRASSY SURFACES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /4 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
FRIDAY...PRECIP SHOULD COME TO AN END AROUND DAYBREAK IN THE
NORTHWEST THEN ENDING IN MOST AREAS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BY
EARLY AFTERNOON.  THE EXCEPTION TO THIS WOULD BE RI/SE MA/CAPE AND
ISLANDS. WHERE SHOWERS MAY LINGER THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND ON THE
CAPE AND ISLANDS POSSIBLY INTO THE EVENING.

WITH THE STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION...COUPLED WITH A 30-35KT LOW
LEVEL JET...NW WINDS WILL PICK UP DURING THE DAY FRIDAY.  THIS WILL
NO DOUBT MAKE IT FEEL EVEN COLDER THAN IT ALREADY WILL BE.  AFTER A
LONG WARMER THAN NORMAL PERIOD...EXPECTING TEMPERATURES TO BE 5 TO
10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FRIDAY /A GOOD 15 TO 25 DEGREES BELOW HIGH
TEMPERATURES TODAY/.  WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE HIGH
TEMPERATURES FAIRLY EARLY IN THE DAY AND FALLING THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON.

FRIDAY NIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE REGION...RESULTING IN
CLEARING SKIES.  THIS COUPLED WITH CALM WINDS AND UNSEASONABLY COLD
AIR IN PLACE WILL RESULT IN LOW TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE TEENS
IN THE INTERIOR TO THE MID 20S ALONG THE COAST...THE LIKES OF WHICH
WE HAVEN/T SEEN AT OUR CLIMATE SITES SINCE MID FEBRUARY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
***THERE IS MODERATE TO HIGH POTENTIAL FOR A 24 TO 48 HOUR HEAVY
 PRECIPITATION EVENT EARLY NEXT WEEK***

25/12Z MODELS STILL SUPPORT YET ANOTHER LONG-DURATION PRECIPITATION
EVENT FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. STAYED CLOSER TO THE ECMWF/GGEM SOLUTION
AS THE ECMWF HAS BEEN THE STRONGEST PERFORMER THIS WINTER.
OPERATIONAL GFS...WHILE SLOWER THAN ITS ENSEMBLE MEAN SOLUTION...
STILL APPEARS TO BE TOO PROGRESSIVE.

STILL KEEPING AN EYE ON A STORM EARLY NEXT WEEK. THERE IS POTENTIAL
FOR ANOTHER WIDESPREAD 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL...WITH EVEN HIGHER
AMOUNTS POSSIBLE DEPENDING ON HOW THIS STORM EVOLVES. THIS WOULD ALSO
INCLUDE A RENEWED FLOOD POTENTIAL...POSSIBLE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY
SITUATION FOR NORTHWEST FRINGE OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. COASTAL
FLOODING IS ALSO A CONCERN WITH THE ALREADY HIGH ASTRO TIDE CYCLE.

HIGH PRESSURE AND DRIER WEATHER LOOKS TO RETURN FOR THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE OF A FEW HOURS OF MVFR-IFR CIGS/MVFR VSBYS
IN LIGHT RAIN. MAY SEE A MIX OR CHANGE TO SNOW ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN
OF S NH/W AND N CENTRAL MA AFTER 09Z. LLWS LIKELY WITH A STRONG LOW-
LEVEL SW JET...PARTICULARLY AT KFMH...KHYA AND KACK.

FRIDAY...ACROSS RI/SE MA...HIGH CONFIDENCE OF MVFR-IFR CIGS/MVFR
VSBYS IN RAIN WITH A POSSIBLE MIX OF SNOW. EXPECT CONDITIONS TO
IMPROVE TO VFR BY EARLY AFTERNOON...THOUGH LOWER CONDITIONS MAY
LINGER ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS INTO THE AFTERNOON. ELSEWHERE...VFR
WITH CLEARING SKIES. NORTH WINDS WITH GUSTS OF 25-30 KNOTS.

FRIDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR. DIMINISHING SURFACE WINDS WITH
GUSTS 20-25 KTS FMH/HYA/ACK.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

SATURDAY...VFR. HIGH CONFIDENCE.

SUNDAY...VFR MAY DEGRADE TO MVFR CONDS IN SCT AFTN OR EVENING SHOWERS.
CONFIDENCE ON DEGRADING TO MVFR CONDITIONS IS LOW DUE TO TIMING
ISSUES.

SUNDAY NIGHT-TUESDAY...LOWERING CONDITIONS WITH IFR OR LIFR BY MIDDAY
MONDAY. CONFIDENCE ON IFR DEVELOPING IS HIGH.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR OUR SOUTHERN
COASTAL WATERS AND GRADUALLY INCREASING THROUGH THE NIGHT TO INCLUDE
ALL OF OUR COASTAL WATERS.  WINDS WILL BE LESS OF AN ISSUE
TONIGHT...WITH GUSTS 25 TO 28 KTS.  WAVES WILL BE INCREASING AHEAD
OF AND WITH THE COLD FRONT TO 5 TO 10 FT ON THE SOUTHERN WATERS AND
SLIGHTLY LESS ON THE EASTERN WATERS.

FRIDAY...COLD FRONT SWEEPS OFFSHORE DURING THE MORNING. STRONG COLD
AIR ADVECTION AND AN INCREASED PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE WATER WILL
RESULT IN NORTH WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 35 KNOTS.  WILL KEEP SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY UP WITH A CAUTION THAT A FEW ISOLATED GUSTS ABOVE 34
KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE.  WINDS DIMINISH LATE IN THE DAY.

FRIDAY NIGHT...SCA CONTINUES...THOUGH LARGELY FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS.
SEAS WILL DIMINISH ON THE NEARSHORE WATERS THE EARLIEST THOUGH NOT
TILL EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

LINGERING ROUGH SEAS ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS DIMINISH SATURDAY NIGHT.
STRONGER SOUTHERLY WINDS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. SEAS
EXPECTED TO BUILD EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH ANOTHER PROLONGED PERIOD OF

.HYDROLOGY...
FLOOD WARNINGS CONTINUE FOR QUITE A FEW RIVER FORECAST POINTS IN OUR
AREA. REFER TO HTTP:/WEATHER.GOV/BOSTON...AND GO TO /RIVERS AND LAKES
AHPS/ FOR GRAPHICAL FORECASTS.

THE PAWTUXET RIVER AT CRANSTON HAS FALLEN INTO MINOR FLOOD THIS
AFTERNOON.  THE CONNECTICUT RIVER AT MIDDLETOWN MAY CREST NEAR THE
MODERATE FLOOD THRESHOLD TONIGHT. THE ASSABET RIVER AT MAYNARD
CRESTED WEDNESDAY EVENING...BUT WILL REMAIN ABOVE FLOOD STAGE THROUGH
AT LEAST FRIDAY.

THE RECESSION OF MAIN STEM RIVERS AND THEIR TRIBUTARIES WILL BE SLOW
FOR THE MOST PART THROUGH THIS WEEK. SOME STAGES MAY LEVEL OFF OR
EVEN EXPERIENCE MODEST RISES WHEN ANOTHER HALF TO AN INCH OF RAIN FALLS
TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY.

A FLOOD ADVISORY IS IN PLACE FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY FOR THE PAWCATUCK
RIVER AT WOOD RIVER JUNCTION. IT HAS CRESTED BUT REMAINS ABOVE FLOOD
STAGE...WHICH IS 6 FEET. IT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN MINOR FLOOD AT
LEAST INTO THIS EVENING.

ANOTHER 0.4 TO 0.8 INCHES OF RAIN IS FORECAST FOR TONIGHT INTO
FRIDAY. THIS WILL LIKELY SLOW THE RECESSION OF SOME RIVERS AND CAUSE
SOME SMALL STREAMS TO RISE AGAIN. THE RAIN MAY CHANGE TO SNOW OVER
THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF NORTHWEST MASSACHUSETTS AND SOUTHWEST NEW
HAMPSHIRE BEFORE THE PRECIPITATION ENDS.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
ASTRO TIDES ARE HIGH SUN NIGHT THROUGH THE TUESDAY HIGH TIDE CYCLES.
MORE DETAILS WILL FOLLOW THE NEXT FEW DAYS CONCERNING POTENTIAL FOR
MINOR TO POCKETS OF MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING.
