AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1241 AM EST WED NOV 17 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL TRACK NORTHEAST INTO NORTHERN
NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING RAIN
TONIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY...FOLLOWED BY GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS
LATER WEDNESDAY MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. DRY WEATHER
WITH AT OR BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL FOLLOW THURSDAY THROUGH
THE COMING WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
MADE MINOR CHANGES TO THE TEMPS...DEWPOINTS...AND POPS FOR THE
LATEST TRENDS.
AREAL COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND INTENSITY SHOULD INCREASE
DRAMATICALLY IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO A
POTENT UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE THAT WILL INDUCE A STRONG LOW LEVEL
JET/ISENTROPIC LIFT.
DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND LIFT IS EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT AS A 50 TO 60
KT LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY JET APPROACHES FROM THE MID ATLANTIC REGION
AND WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL INCREASE AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. THE
NEW 18Z NAM IS EVEN MORE ROBUST WITH THE LOW LEVEL JET /65KT/. ALSO
A 120 KT UPPER LEVEL JET WILL APPROACH FROM THE MID ATLANTIC REGION
AND PROVIDE FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES RISE TO AROUND 1 TO 1.5 G/KG TONIGHT. A
GULF CONNECTION IS EVIDENT WITH THE LATEST WATER VAPOR SATELLITE
LOOP. SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY NOTED WITH TOTAL TOTALS RISING INTO
THE UPPER 40S WITH SHOWALTER INDICES NEAR ZERO LATE TONIGHT. SOME
POSSIBILITY FOR AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM OR TWO...BUT CONVECTIVE
INDICES APPEAR MARGINAL. HAVE MENTIONED SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDER
AFTER MIDNIGHT. GIVEN DEVELOPING DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND LIFT...FEEL
IT IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. ALSO RAIN WILL BE LOCALLY HEAVY
TONIGHT AND COULD CAUSE BRIEF URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING.
WILL NOTE STEADY OR SLOWLY RISING TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA IN
RESPONSE TO INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES.
SOUTH WIND GUSTS COULD APPROACH 30 KT ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST
BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z TONIGHT.
GENERALLY FOLLOWED THE 12Z GFS AS MODEL OF CHOICE...ALTHOUGH MODEL
CONSENSUS LOOKS REASONABLY CLOSE.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
WEDNESDAY...RAIN WILL DEPART THE EAST COAST BETWEEN 12Z AND 15Z
AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES EAST. OTHERWISE WINDY CONDITIONS EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP BY AFTERNOON AS COLD AIR ADVECTION INCREASES AND THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS TIGHT. STEEPENING LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES
WILL PROMOTE MIXING CLOSE TO 850 MILLIBARS.
MILD CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN AS BOUNDARY
LAYER TEMPERATURES WILL BE MILD TO BEGIN THE DAY...AND COOLER AIR
IS NOT EXPECTED TO ARRIVE UNTIL LATER IN THE DAY. SHOULD NOTE HIGHS
BETWEEN 60 AND 65 DEGREES...COOLER ACROSS THE INTERIOR HIGH TERRAIN.
MAIN QUESTION WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR WIND ADVISORY CONDITIONS.
NAM/ECMWF A BIT LESS AGGRESSIVE WITH WESTERLY BOUNDARY LAYER-850 MB
WIND SPEEDS /35 TO 45 KT/ THAN THE GFS /45 TO 55 KT/. THE SURFACE
LOW IS EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN ITS STRENGTH AS IT HEADS INTO CANADA.
THUS WE WILL BE LOOKING AT MARGINAL WIND ADVISORY CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE AREA. GIVEN SOME DIFFERENCES IN DETAILS...HELD OFF ON
THE WIND ADVISORY ATTM UNTIL THE 00Z GUIDANCE ARRIVES...IN TERMS
OF DEFINING AREAL COVERAGE OF THE POTENTIAL WIND ADVISORY. SOUTH
COASTAL AREAS LOOK TO BE THE HIGHER RISK LOCATIONS FOR 40 KT
GUSTS ATTM.
LEFTOVER CLOUDS AND SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
INTERIOR HIGH TERRAIN AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHES.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WINDY AND DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO PREVAIL.
A SECONDARY SHORT WAVE WILL CROSS THE AREA WITH COLD AIR ADVECTION
CONTINUING. A PERIOD OF CLOUD COVER IS EXPECTED WITH A SMALL CHANCE
OF A FLURRY ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN AS SOME LAKE MOISTURE WILL BE
AVAILABLE.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...
*MAINLY DRY WITH AT OR BELOW NORMAL TEMPS THU THROUGH SUN
*MILDER WEATHER ARRIVES BY NEXT MON AND TUE
DETAILS...
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...
WESTERLY FLOW OF AIR WILL BRING IN COOLER MORE SEASONABLE WEATHER TO
THE REGION. HIGHS SHOULD RANGE FROM MAINLY THE UPPER 40S ACROSS THE
INTERIOR HIGH TERRAIN...WITH LOWER TO MIDDLE 50S EXPECTED IN THE
LOWER ELEVATIONS. SKIES WILL BE PARTLY SUNNY BUT IT WILL BE RATHER
WINDY AS BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SUPPORT 30 TO 35 MPH WIND GUSTS. CAN NOT
RULE OUT A FEW SPRINKLES /PERHAPS A FLURRY IN THE HIGHEST TERRAIN/
DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH A MOISTURE STARVED SHORTWAVE.
NONETHELESS...IT WILL GENERALLY BE DRY MOST OF THE TIME.
UNDER COLD ADVECTION THURSDAY NIGHT...LOWS SHOULD FALL INTO THE MID
TO UPPER 20S ACROSS SOUTHWEST NH/WESTERN MA TO MAINLY THE LOWER TO
MIDDLE 30S ELSEWHERE.
FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVERHEAD WILL BRING DRY WEATHER AND BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES TO THE REGION. HIGHS SHOULD ONLY TOP OUT IN THE
40S ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION AS SURFACE MIXING WILL BE LIMITED.
LOW TEMPERATURES SHOULD FALL MAINLY INTO THE MIDDLE 20S TO LOWER 30S
FRIDAY NIGHT.
SATURDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OFF THE COAST ON SATURDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT
COLD FRONT. THIS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO MODERATE A TAD FROM
FRIDAY...BUT HIGHS WILL STILL ONLY MAKE IT INTO THE MIDDLE TO UPPER
40S ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN...TO THE LOWER 50S COASTAL PLAIN.
SUNDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS EASTERN CANADA WILL BRING REINFORCING SHOT OF
CHILLY AIR AND BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. HIGHS WILL ONLY REACH
INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 40S ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS AND PORTIONS OF
THE HIGHER TERRAIN MAY NOT CRACK 40!
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFF THE COAST AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND WILL
GET INTO WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THIS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES
TO MODERATE TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS....WITH HIGHS CLIMBING WELL INTO
THE 50S BY TUESDAY. ITS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT SOME LOCATION
TOP 60 BY TUESDAY...BUT DID NOT GO QUITE THIS MILD YET SINCE ITS 7
DAYS OUT.
AS FOR PRECIPITATION CHANCES...CONFIDENCE ON TIMING AND EXTENT OF
ANY RAIN SHOWERS ARE UNCERTAIN. HOWEVER...THERE CERTAINLY IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST A FEW SHOWERS WITH THE BETTER CHANCE PROBABLY
COMING ON TUESDAY IN THE WARM ADVECTION PATTERN. FOR NOW WILL RUN
WITH 20 TO 30 POPS MONDAY AND TUESDAY...WITH THE HIGHER POPS ON
TUESDAY.
&&

CONDITIONS. LOW TO MEDIUM PROBABILITY FOR A PERIOD OF MVFR CEILINGS
LATE SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY ACROSS CAPE/NANTUCKET IN OCEAN EFFECT
