AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
143 PM EDT MON MAY 3 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE THIS WEEK INTO SATURDAY BEFORE
A SHORT SPELL OF NORMAL OR BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES BEGINS NEXT SUNDAY.
WHILE IT WILL BE GENERALLY DRY AND VERY NICE THIS WORK WEEK...FRONTAL
SYSTEMS MAY PRODUCE A SHOWER OR GUSTY THUNDERSTORM THIS AFTERNOON...
TOMORROW AFTERNOON...AGAIN EARLY THURSDAY AND MORE LIKELY SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 10 PM THIS EVENING/...
MIDDAY PRODUCTS UPDATED BASICALLY COMPLETE.

UPDATED FOR INCREASING SUNSHINE THIS AFTERNOON...DRYING OUT THE COLD
FRONTAL LINE OF SHOWERS APPROACHING THE HUDSON VALLEY TO A GUSTY SHOWER
OR SPRINKLE THIS AFTERNOON IN SNE. THAT LINE SHOULD HOLD TOGETHER AS
IT CROSSES THE BERKS TO REACH THE SW CORNER OF CHESHIRE COUNTY TO THE
NW CORNER OF LITCHFIELD CTY CT ARD 1815Z AND DRYING - BREAKING UP
THEREAFTER IN ITS SWIFT EWD MOVEMENT.

WIND GUSTS GENERALLY INCREASED THIS AFTERNOON TO BETWEEN 25 AND 35
KNOTS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /10 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
TONIGHT...POST-FRONTAL AIR MASS OVERSPREADS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AS
A COLD FRONT FINALLY MOVES OFFSHORE. AIR MASS IS NOT MUCH COOLER BUT
DEFINITELY DRIER/LESS HUMID. MINIMUM TEMPS WILL STILL REMAIN ABOVE
NORMAL.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON...09Z SREF THREAT VIEWER WITH LARGE 7H-5H LAPSE
RATES...A BURST OF KI NR 30/LARGE TT OF 52 PLUS...LAPSE RATES/TT
LARGER THAN TODAY. BLV WE WILL SEE GUSTY SHWRS AND TSTMS OF 35-45
KTS WITH A FEW FULLY LEAVED TREES POSSIBLY COMING DOWN AS WELL AS
A BIT OF DEAD WOOD HUNG UP IN THE CROWNS. KOKX WILL BE BACKING US UP
AND THE PLAN IS FOR OKX TO HANDLE ANY WARNINGS FOR SNE. WE WILL MAKE
A DECISION TUESDAY MORNING WHETHER OR NOT TO HAVE SKYWARN IN THE
OFFICE BTWN 17Z-22Z FOR COLLABORATION WITH OKX ON ANY WARNINGS.

TUES NIGHT...DRYING OUT AND COOLER.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MEDIUM RANGE MODEL SUITE CONTINUES TO SHOW FAIRLY GOOD CONTINUITY
OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS...THOUGH INDIVIDUAL MODEL OP RUNS
/NAMELY THE GFS/ HAVE TRENDED ON THE FAST END WHEN IT COMES TO
SYSTEMS MOVING THROUGH THE BROAD TROUGH ACROSS THE NORTHERN STREAM
THROUGH THIS FORECAST PERIOD. GENERALLY USED A BLEND OF THE ECMWF
AND GGEM WITH A LITTLE BIT OF THE GFS MIXED IN.

WEDNESDAY...RIDGING AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT MOVES ACROSS NEW
ENGLAND...BRINGING PLEASANT LATE SPRING CONDITIONS. A WARM FRONT
STARTS TO DEVELOP ACROSS PA/S NY STATE...WHICH COULD MEAN SOME HIGH
CLOUDS WORKING IN DURING THE AFTERNOON AND NIGHTTIME HOURS AS WINDS
BACK TO SW. WILL REMAIN DRY AND MILD WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S...BUT
REMAINING IN THE 60S ALONG THE S COAST.

THURSDAY...MODELS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING OF
THE APPROACHING WARM FRONT THAT PUSHES N OF THE REGION DURING THE
DAY. THIS WILL BRING A RETURN OF WARM TEMPERATURES AS 850 HPA TEMPS
RISE TO +14C WITH AN INCREASING SW WIND FLOW.  COLD FRONT APPROACHES
OUT OF NY STATE...SO COULD SEE SCATTERED SHOWERS DEVELOP ACROSS
CENTRAL/N MA INTO S NH DURING THE AFTERNOON. DID NOT MENTION THUNDER
AT THIS TIME...BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED WITH MAX DAYTIME HEATING
AND DEVELOPING INSTABILITY.

THURSDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY...MODELS DIVERGED WITH THEIR SOLUTIONS AT THIS
TIMEFRAME...NAMELY WHAT THE COLD FRONT ACTUALLY DOES. FELT THAT THE
ECMWF IS HANDLING THIS MUCH BETTER THAN THE GFS. APPEARS THAT THE
GFS IS TRYING TO FLATTEN THE EAST COAST LONG WAVE RIDGE MORE QUICKLY
AND DRAMATICALLY THAN THE ECMWF AND...IN TURN...PUSHING THE FRONT
MUCH FARTHER S THAN THE EC.  THE EC HAS BEEN INDICATING THE FRONT
STALLING EITHER ACROSS OR JUST S OF THE REGION FRIDAY OR FRIDAY
NIGHT...SO THIS CONSISTENCY LENDS MORE CONFIDENCE WITH THE EC
FORECAST. KEPT CHANCE POPS GOING FOR THIS TIMEFRAME. COULD SEE
RATHER BIG TEMP DIFFERENCES FROM N TO S...DEPENDING UPON WHERE THE
FRONT HANGS UP.

SATURDAY-SUNDAY...WITH CONVECTION MOVING ACROSS THE AREA THIS
MORNING...OPTED TO LET THE PREVIOUS SHIFT/S FORECAST RIDE.
HOWEVER...DID TAKE A LOOK AND APPEARS TO BE IN LINE WITH THE TIMING
OF THIS MORNINGS MODEL RUNS. STILL EXPECTING BETTER CHANCE FOR POPS
DURING SATURDAY AS LOW PRES DEEPENS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND MOVES
TO THE ST. LAWRENCE RIVER VALLEY...PUSHING ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT
ACROSS THE REGION SOMETIME SATURDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT. SHOWERS COULD
LINGER INTO SUNDAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CLEARS THROUGH. STILL
EXPECT ANOTHER MILD DAY ON SATURDAY...THEN TURNING COOLER ON SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THIS AFTERNOON...VFR CIGS WITH DYING LINE OF SHOWERS PROBABLY DRYING
OUT IN ITS EWD ENTRY INTO THE CT RVR VALLEY ARD 18Z-19Z. PATCHY MVFR
CIGS S COAST DRYING OUT TO VFR. MVFR HZ/FOG S COAST PROBABLY DRYING
OUT THIS AFTN.   CONFIDENCE AVG.

PLS SEE 18Z TAFS. WE ATTEMPTED TIMING FOR BDL ON THE SHOWER AND
WSHIFT WITH CIWS SUPPORT.

BOSTON LOGAN...BRIEF WSHIFT TO W VCNTY BOS WILL BACK TO SW BY 18Z
THEN SHIFT TO WNW BY 20Z. GUSTS 25 KTS NOW WILL INCREASE TO NEAR 35
KTS AROUND 21Z AS INSTABILITY AND DRYING ALOFT MIXES MOMENTUM
DOWNWARD. CONFIDENCE ABOVE AVG. WE SAW THE GUST 38 KT AT KORH.

TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE OF VFR CONDITIONS.

TUESDAY...MAINLY VFR. MAY SEE A PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS AS A COLD
FRONT PUSHES ACROSS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING. SCATTERED
SHOWERS/TSTMS WITH THE FRONT. GUSTY W WINDS 35-45 KTS WITH THE SCT-
BKN LINE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS.  WE MAY NEED SKYWARN IN THE OFFICE.

TUESDAY NIGHT...VFR.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

WEDNESDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE OF VFR CONDITIONS.

MAINLY NEAR AND N OF THE MASS PIKE.  LOCAL MVFR CIGS/VSBYS ARE
POSSIBLE.

SCATTERED SHOWERS.

.MARINE...
THIS AFTN/EVE....SCA ALL WATERS IN PROGRESS.  PLS SEE MWW.

TONIGHT...WINDS AND SEAS DIMINISHING LATE...BUT WILL TAKE LONGER
ON THE OUTER WATERS.

TUESDAY...W-SW WINDS MAY GUST 20 KT AHEAD FOR APPROACHING COLD
FRONT. SEAS MAY BRIEFLY REACH SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA ON THE SOUTHERN
OUTER WATERS.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

WEDNESDAY...NW WINDS MAY GUST CLOSE TO 25 KT ON THE OUTER WATERS
DURING THE AFTERNOON AS COOLER AIR MOVES ACROSS. WINDS DIMINISH
WEDNESDAY EVENING AS THEY BACK TO SW. SEAS MAY APPROACH 5 FT ON THE
SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS.

THURSDAY...EXPECT GUSTY SW WINDS AS A WARM FRONT MOVES N OF THE
WATERS. SEAS MAY REACH 5-6 FT ON THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS.

FRIDAY...COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE INTO THE WATERS...THEN MAY
STALL SO WILL SEE VARIABLE WIND DIRECTIONS. WIND SPEEDS COULD REACH
20 KT AND SEAS MAY REACH 5 FT ON THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS LATE AT
NIGHT.
