  COVER THE REMAINING WEEKEND.

* IMPACTS...HEAVY SURF AND DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A RIP CURRENT...SOMETIMES MISTAKENLY CALLED AN UNDERTOW...IS A
STRONG BUT NARROW CURRENT OF WATER FLOWING FROM THE BEACH TO THE
SURF ZONE. IT CAN RAPIDLY CARRY A SWIMMER INTO DEEPER WATER AND
EXHAUST AN INDIVIDUAL TRYING TO SWIM AGAINST IT.

IF YOU ARE A POOR SWIMMER AND ARE CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT...SWIM
PARALLEL TO THE BEACH UNTIL OUT OF ITS PULL.  ANOTHER MEANS OF
ESCAPE FOR THOSE WHO ARE GOOD SWIMMERS IS TO RIDE THE CURRENT OUT
BEYOND THE SURF ZONE WHERE THE RIP CURRENT DISSIPATES...THEN SWIM
TOWARD SHORE OUTSIDE THE EFFECT OF THE NARROW RIP CURRENT.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SWIM BACK TO SHORE DIRECTLY AGAINST THE
CURRENT...IT CAN EXHAUST AND DROWN EVEN THE STRONGEST SWIMMER.

HEED THE ADVICE OF THE BEACH PATROL AND SWIM ONLY AT GUARDED
BEACHES.  WATCH YOUR CHILDREN.  BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS NEAR PIERS
AND JETTIES WHERE RIP CURRENTS CAN BE ENHANCED.

IN ADDITION...VIEWERS OF LARGE SURF SHOULD BE IN SAFE AREAS WELL
AWAY FROM POSSIBLE SPLASH OVER. INDIVIDUAL WAVES MAY BE MORE THAN
TWICE THE SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT...WHICH CAN SWEEP A PERSON INTO
THE WATER FROM WHAT MAY SEEM TO BE A SAFE VIEWING AREA. FALLING
INTO THE TURBULENT AND SOMETIMES ROCKY WATERS CAN RESULT IN
INJURY THAT REDUCES THE CHANCE OF SURVIVAL.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
351 PM EDT TUE SEP 6 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A SLOW MOVING AND WAVERING FRONT WILL BRING PERIODS OF SHOWERS
ACROSS THE REGION INTO THU. HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO PROVIDE DRY
WEATHER BEGINNING FRIDAY AND POSSIBLY INTO THE WEEKEND. LATEST
INDICATIONS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST HURRICANE KATIA WILL TRACK WELL
SOUTH AND EAST OF NANTUCKET LATE THIS WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND WHILE THE REMNANTS
OF LEE MOVE UP THE THE APPALACHIANS. THIS BRINGS A GENERAL
ISENTROPIC LIFT TO THE REGION OVERNIGHT WITH FOCUS ON THE CT
COAST...POSSIBLY RI AND MASS SOUTH COASTS AS WELL. PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES REMAIN 1.5 INCHES OVER OUR NORTHERN AREAS AND 2
INCHES ALONG THE SOUTH COAST. THIS SEEMS SUFFICIENT MOISTURE AND
LIFT FOR CATEGORICAL POPS MOST OF OUR AREA TONIGHT. 6-HOUR RAINFALL
UPSTREAM HAS BEEN IN THE 1/4 TO 1/2 INCH RANGE...LESSER AMOUNTS
FARTHER NORTH AND WEST. HPC QPF VALUES ARE IN THE BALLPARK AND SO
WE USED THOSE FOR TONIGHT. FLASH FLOOD GUIDENCE IS AT OR ABOVE 1.5
INCHES/HOUR AND 2 INCHES/6 HOURS...SO WE WILL HOLD ON A FLOOD
WATCH AT THIS TIME.  TEMPS ARE A BLEND OF MOS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
CONTINUED ISENTROPIC LIFT AS REMNANTS OF LEE APPROACH AND HIGH
PRESSURE LINGERS OVER THE MARITIMES. MODELS SHOW A HINT OF THE
LIFT WEAKENING AND LIFTING NORTH DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY...THEN
SETTLING SOUTH AGAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WE WILL KEEP CATEGORICAL
POPS NORTHWEST AND CHANCE SOUTHEAST WEDNESDAY...THEN LIKELY POPS
ALL AREAS WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

THE LOW LEVEL NORTHEAST FLOW AND THE RAIN WILL KEEP TEMPS FROM
WARMING TOO MUCH DURING THE DAY. OUR BLEND BRINGS DAYTIME HIGHS IN
THE 60S WHICH IS ABOUT 5-7F WARMER THAN THE NIGHTTIME LOWS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* ALTHOUGH NOT A WASH OUT AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN MUCH OF THIS
PERIOD
* TRACK OF KATIA REMAINS WELL OFFSHORE OF NEW ENGLAND FRI

MODEL PREFERENCES AND SYNOPTIC OVERVIEW...
00Z/06 MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE LARGE SCALE FLOW ACROSS THE
CONUS AND WESTERN ATLC WITH HURRICANE KATIA TRACKING WELL SE OF
NANTUCKET /ABOUT 250 MILES/ FRI AND REMNANTS OF TS LEE BECOMING
DETACHED FROM THE WESTERLIES AND MEANDERING OVER THE TN AND OH
VALLEYS. AT 84 HRS /12Z FRI/ THE GFS AND NOW THE 00Z ECMWF ARE
CLUSTERED FAIRLY TIGHTLY ON THE TRACK OF KATIA. THE NAM IS
DISPLAYING ITS TYPICAL SLOW BIAS WITH THIS MODEL CONSIDERABLY SLOWER
THAN THE GFS AND ECMWF. GIVEN TC TYPICALLY INCREASE FORWARD SPEED IN
THE MID LATITUDES WILL DISCOUNT THE NAM AND FOLLOW THE GFS/EC
SOLUTION HERE. DESPITE KATIA/S OFSHR TRACK HEAVY SURF AND DANGEROUS
RIP CURRENTS WILL IMPACT S AND E FACING OCEAN BEACH ALL OF THIS WEEK
AND PROBABLY LINGERING INTO SAT.

AS FOR THE DAILY DETAILS...

THU... FRONTAL BOUNDARY INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND THU. SHOULD BE
SCATTERED SHOWERS ALONG AND NEAR THIS BOUNDARY GIVEN DEEP TROPICAL
MOISTURE/WEAK SYNOPTIC LIFT AND FRONTAL SCALE FORCING. HOWEVER
GIVEN FORCING FOR ASCENT APPEARS WEAK NOT CONFIDENT AREAL COVERAGE
WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT CATEGORICAL POPS FROM BOTH THE NAM
AND GFS. THUS NOT SURE IF ALL LOCATIONS WILL HAVE MEASURABLE
RAINFALL. SO DECIDED TO UNDERCUT GFS MOS GUID A CATEGORY FROM
LIKELY TO CHC THU.

OTHERWISE EXPECT CLOUDS TO DOMINATE DESPITE WIDESPREAD RAINFALL NOT
EXPECTED. TEMPS WILL BE VERY TRICKY DEPENDING ON AREAL COVERAGE OF
RAIN AND CLOUDS.  THE NAM INDICATES HIGHS MAY ONLY CLIMB INTO THE
60S THU WHERE CLOUDS AND SHOWERS PERSIST BUT COULD SEE HIGHS CLIMB
INTO THE 70S ACROSS CT/RI AND INTERIOR SOUTHEAST MA WHERE BREAKS OF
SUNSHINE ARE POSSIBLE. GIVEN THE TIME RANGE AND UNCERTAINTY WILL
FOLLOW A MODEL BLEND.

FRI...
LOOKS LIKE KATIA MAKES ITS CLOSEST APPROACH TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
FRI...BUT MODEL CONSENSUS TRACKS KATIA APPROXIMATELY 250 MILES OR SO
SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET. SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT SUBSIDENCE ON THE
NORTHWEST SIDE OF KATIA FOR DRY WEATHER ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND WITH THE ONLY EXCEPTION FOR RAIN OVER NANTUCKET. SURF WILL
BECOME QUITE DANGEROUS AND WILL LIKELY NEED A HIGH SURF ADVISORY.

SAT/SUN/MON...
DRY WEATHER SHOULD PREVAIL SAT BEHIND DEPARTING KATIA WITH CONFLUENT
FLOW OVER NEW ENGLAND. HOWEVER WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE REMNANTS OF
LEE OVER THE OH VLY AS CLOSED LOW BECOMES AND OPEN WAVE AND EJECTS
MOISTURE AND JET IMPULSES INTO NEW ENGLAND SUN-MON. THEREFORE LOW
PROB FOR SHOWERS SOMETIME SUN-MON TIME FRAME.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MODERATE...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

REMAINDER OF AFTERNOON...
LOW LEVEL NORTHEAST FLOW IS OVERLAYED BY SOUTHWEST CLOUD LEVEL
FLOW WITH CEILINGS OF 1500 TO 2500 FEET MOVING INTO SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. MEANWHILE RAIN SPREADS ACROSS CT-RI-SOUTHEAST MASS WITH
3-5 MILE VSBYS WHILE SPRINKLES WITH 6 MILE VSBYS AND HIGHER MOVE
INTO WESTERN/CENTRAL MASS AND SOUTHERN NH. CEILINGS IN THIS LATTER
AREA MAY BOUNCE BETWEEN 2500 AND 7000 FEET...BUT TREND BY EVENING
SHOULD BE TO THE LOWER VALUES.  MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.

TONIGHT...
AREA OF RAIN MOVES NORTHEAST INTO NEW ENGLAND. CONDITIONS
UPSTREAM ARE MVFR AND IFR...SO EXPECT CONDITIONS IN NEW ENGLAND TO
MAINTAIN OR LOWER TO AT LEAST MVFR...WITH IFR POSSIBLE IN RAIN AND
FOG OVERNIGHT. MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...
CONTINUED NORTHEAST FLOW WITH IFR OR LOW-END MVFR CONDITIONS IN
RAIN AND FOG. MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

KBOS TERMINAL...
BRIEF IMPROVEMENTS TO VFR POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON...BUT PRIMARILY
MVFR CEILINGS EXPECTED...WITH TREND TO IFR IN LOW CLOUDS/RAIN/FOG
EITHER LATE TONIGHT OR WEDNESDAY. NORTHEAST FLOW THROUGH THE
PERIOD.  MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

THURSDAY...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE WITH IFR/MVFR POSSIBLE IN
AREAS OF SHOWERS AND FOG.

FRIDAY...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE WITH TRENDS TOWARD IMPROVING
WEATHER FROM IFR/MVFR TO POSSIBLY VFR DURING THE AFTERNOON.

SATURDAY...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE FOR VFR CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...
SEAS WILL BUILD THROUGH THE PERIOD IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACH OF
KATIA FROM THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST. WAVEWATCH VALUES SHOW
INCREASING SOUTH-SOUTHEAST SWELL DURING THIS PERIOD.  SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CONTINUES ON THE OUTER WATERS AND THE EQUALLY EXPOSED RI
COASTAL WATERS.

WITH A 5 TO 7 FOOT SOUTH-SOUTHEAST SWELL AND A 14 SECOND
PERIOD...THAT IS TRANSLATING INTO A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS
ALONG OUR EXPOSED SOUTH COAST. ALTHOUGH THE VALUES ARE LESS ALONG
THE EAST COAST...CAPE ANN SEEMS TO BE CATCHING ENOUGH SO THAT
COMBINED WITH THE LOW LEVEL WIND IT IS BRINGING A BORDERLINE HIGH
RISK. WE WILL BE ISSUING A HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR THESE AREAS.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

MAIN HAZARD THIS PERIOD WILL BE INCREASING SWELLS FROM KATIA AND
LIKELY PEAKING 15-20 KT SOUTH AND EAST OF NANTUCKET SOMETIME FRI/FRI
NIGHT. LOW PROBABILITY OF TROPICAL STORM FORCE WIND GUSTS SOUTH AND
EAST OF NANTUCKET FRI/FRI NIGHT. SWELLS WILL DIMINISH SLIGHTLY SAT
HOWEVER LOTS OF WAVE ACTION WILL PERSIST.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
A COLD FRONT STALLED SOUTH OF THE REGION WILL ALLOW FOR CONTINUED
PERIODS OF RAINFALL THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. AT THIS
POINT...ONLY NUISANCE URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING ARE EXPECTED
TO BE THE IMPACTS THROUGH THIS TIMEFRAME. WHILE INDIVIDUAL STREAMS
SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE RAINFALL...WATER FLOWING DOWNSTREAM
MAY AFFECT MAINSTEM RIVERS. PARTICULARLY...THE CONNECTICUT RIVER AT
MIDDLETOWN AND HARTFORD MAY APPROACH OR EVEN REACH FLOOD STAGE BY
TOMORROW EVENING. PLEASE MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS FOR UP TO
DATE INFORMATION ON THESE FLOOD THREATS.
