AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
943 AM EDT THU SEP 16 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER NEW ENGLAND MOVES OFFSHORE BY THIS AFTERNOON.
LOW PRESSURE MOVING OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES WILL BRING A PERIOD
OF STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY SHOWERS FROM LATE THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY MORNING AS IT TRACKS ACROSS NEW ENGLAND. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BRING MAINLY DRY AND PLEASANT WEATHER THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
PREVIOUS FORECAST IS PRETTY MUCH ON TRACK.  PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY
SKIES THIS MORNING WILL GIVE WAY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES BY MID TO
LATE AFTERNOON FROM WEST TO EAST.  THIS A RESULT OF THE APPROACHING
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT.  THE WEATHER SHOULD
REMAIN DRY THROUGH MOST OF THE AFTERNOON...BUT EXPECT SOME RAIN
SHOWERS TO ARRIVE ACROSS INTERIOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AFTER
5 OR 6 PM.

HIGHS SHOULD TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 60S TO THE LOWER 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
TONIGHT...
MIDWEST SHORTWAVE AND SURFACE LOW MOVE TO THE EASTERN LAKES BY
THIS EVENING...THEN CROSS CENTRAL NEW ENGLAND AFTER MIDNIGHT. IN
ADVANCE OF THIS THE SYSTEM PULLS STRONG LOW LEVEL WINDS UP ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND GENERALLY 03Z-09Z. MODELS DIFFER A LITTLE ON
THE STRENGTH OF THESE LOW LEVEL WINDS...BUT FALL WITHIN THE RANGE
OF 55 TO 65 KNOTS AS LOW AS 2500 FEET.

THESE STRONG WINDS ALOFT WILL HAVE THREE MAIN EFFECTS. THEY WILL
TRANSPORT HUMID AIR NORTH...PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE EXPECTED
IN THE RANGE OF 1.5 TO 2.0 INCHES...SUPPORTING HEAVY DOWNPOURS
OVERNIGHT. THE SECOND EFFECT WILL BE A DESTABILIZING OF THE
ATMOSPHERE...WHICH WILL SUPPORT THUNDERSTORMS. THIRD...THE WINDS
WILL BE IN POSITION TO BE BROUGHT TO THE SURFACE IN SHOWERS OR
OTHER DOWNDRAFT-GENERATING MECHANISMS. DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH OF
THIS WIND IS BROUGHT TO THE SURFACE...THE GUSTS COULD BRING A
POTENTIAL FOR CAUSING DAMAGE.

INDICATORS...INCLUDING THE FORECAST LOCATION OF THE STRONGEST
WINDS IN THIS LOW LEVEL JET...FAVOR CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS AND TO
A LESSER EXTENT RI AND SOUTHEAST MASS. OUR GREATEST CONFIDENCE FOR
WIND POTENTIAL IS ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS...SO THE HIGH WIND WATCH
THERE HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO A WARNING. WE HAVE ALSO UPGRADED BLOCK
ISLAND DUE TO ITS EXPOSED LOCATION. THE REMAINDER OF THE EXISTING
WATCH COVERS A LOWER CONFIDENCE AREA AND SO HAS BEEN CONTINUED FOR
ANOTHER FEW HOURS.

AS NOTED YESTERDAY IN THIS SPACE...HIGH WIND CRITERIA /SUSTAINED
WIND 40 MPH AND GREATER AND/OR GUSTS 58 MPH AND GREATER/ WILL
LIKELY NOT BE MET IN MOST PLACES. HOWEVER THERE IS POTENTIAL
DAMAGING IMPACT /POWER OUTAGES-DOWNED TREE LIMBS/...AS
CLIMATOLOGY SUPPORTS 35-45 KT OF WIND TAKING DOWN FULLY LEAVED
TREES.

EVENING TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN STEADY OR SLOWLY RISE OVERNIGHT
WITH INCREASING DEWPOINTS ADDING A HUMID FEEL TO THE AIR.
TEMPERATURES COME FROM A BLEND OF MOS.

FRIDAY...
THE SURFACE LOW MOVES OFF THROUGH THE GULF OF MAINE WITH WINDS
SHIFTING TO NORTH AND POSSIBLY NORTHEAST. LINGERING MORNING
SHOWERS SHOULD MOVE OFF BY AFTERNOON. DRYING AIR FROM THE NORTH
SHOULD BRING CLEARING TO NORTHERN AND WESTERN AREAS DURING THE
AFTERNOON.

IN ADDITION...SEAS WILL BUILD FRIDAY...INITIALLY DUE TO THE STRONG
WIND ACROSS THE WAVES. SWELL FROM IGOR WILL HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL
EFFECT...ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT EXPECTED TO MAXIMIZE UNTIL THE WEEKEND.

HIGH SURF ADVISORIES WILL EVENTUALLY BE REQUIRED ACROSS PORTIONS
OF OUR COASTLINE. AS THIS IS STILL 24 HOURS IN THE FUTURE WE WILL
HOLD OFF ON ANY ADVISORY...ONE WILL PROBABLY BE ISSUED LATER
TODAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...
 * MAINLY DRY/BEAUTIFUL WEATHER THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK
 * SWELL FROM DISTANT HURRICANE IGOR WILL BRING HIGH
   SURF/DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK

FOR THIS PERIOD...LOOKS DRY. AFTER A COUPLE OF COOL MORNINGS
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...LOOKS LIKE POTENTIALLY A RETURN TO VERY WARM
TEMPERATURES NEXT WEDNESDAY. OTHER SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WILL BE
SWELLS AND ASSOCIATED HIGH SURF/RIP CURRENTS FROM IGOR DURING THE
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

NUDGED POPS UP A LITTLE BUT STILL BELOW CHANCE FRI NIGHT. JUST A
LITTLE WARY OF UPPER TROF NOT PASSING THROUGH AREA UNTIL AFT 12Z SAT.

BOTH THE GFS AND ECWMF OPS RUNS DEPICT A SECONDARY COLD FRONT MOVING
THROUGH SNE LATE SATURDAY NIGHT OR SUNDAY BUT PROBABLY DRY. WILL
INCREASE CLOUD COVER AND NUDGE POPS INTO SLIGHT CHANCE.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD DROP INTO LOW TO MID 40S MONDAY MORNING IN NW
MA AND SW NH WHERE SURFACE WINDS MAY DECOUPLE FOR A FEW HOURS.
TUESDAY MORNING LOOKS TO BE OPTIMUM RADIATIONAL COOLING NIGHT WITH
LIGHT WINDS AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. TEMPERATURES MAY REACH LOWER
40S...POSSIBLY EVEN POCKETS OF UPPER 30S...TUESDAY MORNING IN THE
USUALLY COLDER SW NH AND NW MA COOL SPOTS.

WARM FRONT DEVELOPS NORTHERN NY STATE INTO NORTHERN VT TUE PER BOTH
ECWMF AND GFS BUT SEE LITTLE IMPACT ON SNE SENSIBLE WEATHER.

UPPER RIDGE ACROSS SE USA AND SFC HIGH PRES OFF EASTERN SEABOARD
SETS STAGE FOR POTENTIALLY 18+ H85 TEMPERATURES INTO SNE ON WED. GFS
FASTER WITH COLD FRONT LATE WED EVE WHEREAS ECMWF SLOWER WITH CFROPA
MORE LIKELY THU MORNING. WILL COMPROMISE THIS FAR OUT AND INTRODUCE
CHANCE POPS LATE WED IN JUST WESTERN ZONES.

HAVE GENERALLY STAYED CLOSE TO GMOS FOR TEMPERATURES BUT RAISED
SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE GUIDANCE FOR WEDNESDAY. BOTH ECWMF AND GFS
HAVE SHOWN RUN TO RUN CONTINUITY WITH H85 TEMPERATURES GETTING TO
18+C ON WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /13Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
TODAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR.  MVFR CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS WILL
PROBABLY NOT ARRIVE AT BDL/BAF UNTIL AFTER 21Z OR 22Z.

KBOS...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 00Z.

TONIGHT...MVFR/IFR DEVELOPING IN SHOWERS AND SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS. LOWER CONDITIONS REACH THE CT VALLEY IN THE EARLY
EVENING...AND SHOULD REACH BOS/PVD AROUND 02-03Z. IN
ADDITION...STRONG SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS MOVING IN AT 2500-3000
FEET ABOVE THE GROUND. MODEL FORECASTS SHOW POTENTIAL FOR 50-65
KNOTS AT THAT LEVEL WITH FOCUS ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS.
STRONG LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR EXPECTED ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN 03Z-
10Z.

FRIDAY...CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE TO VFR BY LATE MORNING/AFTERNOON
ACROSS THE INTERIOR BUT MVFR CONDITIONS MAY LINGER INTO THE
AFTERNOON ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...

FRIDAY NIGHT...MAINLY VFR BUT THERE IS A LOW TO MEDIUM
PROBABILITY OF MVFR CEILINGS LINGERING ON THE COASTAL PLAIN FOR A
TIME.

SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...
HIGH PRESSURE MOVING OFF THE COAST WILL SHIFT THE WINDS TO THE SOUTH
THIS AFTERNOON.  HOWEVER...WIND SPEEDS AND SEAS SHOULD STILL REMAIN
BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.  SOME SOUTHERLY 20 KNOT
WIND GUSTS MAY DEVELOP BY LATE AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...
LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS CENTRAL NEW ENGLAND. THIS BRINGS STRONG
WINDS UP THE COAST AT AN ALTITUDE OF 2500-3000 FEET ABOVE THE
SURFACE. SOME OF THIS WIND WILL BE FORCED DOWN TO THE SURFACE
WITH FREQUENT GUSTS IN THE 40-45 KNOT RANGE ACROSS THE WATERS.
THE GALE WATCH HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO A GALE WARNING...AND HAS BEEN
EXPANDED TO THE OUTER WATERS EAST OF MASS WHERE GALE FORCE WINDS
ARE POSSIBLE AROUND STELLWAGEN BANK AND NEARBY WATERS.

SEAS WILL INCREASE RAPIDLY ALONG THE SOUTH OCEAN WATERS WITH
HEIGHTS BUILDING TO 10-15 FT!

FRIDAY...WINDS DIMINISH FRIDAY MORNING AS THE LOW PRESSURE/GALE
CENTER MOVES OFF ACROSS THE GULF OF MAINE. HIGH SEAS LINGER
THROUGH THE DAY...AT THE LEAST A SMALL CRAFT HEADLINE WILL BE
NEEDED.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...

EXPECT LEFT OVER HIGH SEAS FROM SW GRADIENT AND FETCH AHEAD OF
FRONT EARLY FRIDAY...BUT AT SAME TIME EXPECT INCREASING SWELL FROM
IGOR. SOUTHEAST SWELL FROM IGOR EXPECTED TO BE PROMINENT ISSUE
SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY. SWELLS MAY APPROACH 10 FEET SOUTH AND
EAST OF NANTUCKET BY SUNDAY. SWELLS MAY CAUSE SOME TRICKY NAVIGATION
IN AND OUT OF HARBORS/INLETS ALONG S AND SE FACING COASTLINES.

IN ADDITION...MEDIUM RANGE MODELS FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH RATHER
STIFF N OR NE GRADIENT DEVELOPING LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND
MONDAY...ENOUGH FOR PROBABLY STRONG SCA WIND CRITERIA. ACROSS SE
COASTAL WATERS...EVEN BRIEF GALE GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE. THIS IS THE
RESULT OF SURFACE HIGH PRES TO NW AND IGOR WELL OFFSHORE TO THE
SE...ALONG WITH COLD AIR ADVECTION OVER RELATIVELY MILD WATER. OUR
EXPERIENCE IS ALSO THAT N OR NE WINDS MAY MIX TO SURFACE AND END UP
BEING A LITTLE STRONGER THAN FIRST APPEARS DURING THIS TIME OF YEAR.
