AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
317 AM EST TUE NOV 22 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER NEW ENGLAND THIS MORNING WILL MOVE OFF TO THE
EAST TONIGHT. LOW PRESSURE ENTERING THE OHIO VALLEY WILL MOVE
ALONG OR JUST SOUTH OF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST ON WEDNESDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE THEN BRINGS DRY WEATHER FROM THURSDAY INTO NEXT WEEKEND
WITH A WARMING TREND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
TODAY...
HIGH PRESSURE PROVIDING PLENTY OF SUBSIDENCE AND COLD DRY AIR IN
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND WHILE CLOUDS EXPAND OVER THE WEST. WITH THE
EXISTING SUBSIDENCE...EXPECT DRY WEATHER THROUGH THE DAY ALTHOUGH
WITH SKY COVER INCREASING HOUR-BY-HOUR. TEMPS AT 925 MB 0-2C WOULD
SUPPORT MAX TEMPS IN THE 40S AND POSSIBLY NEAR 50 ALONG THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...

TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...
LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS BRINGS STRONG
ISENTROPIC LIFT...ON THE ORDER OF 40 TO 50 MB/HOUR...AS WELL AS
DEEP MOISTURE. TIMING ON THE LIFT AND MOISTURE...AS WELL AS A
CONSENSUS OF MODEL QPF...SUGGESTS PCPN STARTING BETWEEN 8 PM AND
MIDNIGHT. THE STRONGEST LIFT MOVES ACROSS NEW ENGLAND BETWEEN 1 AM
AND 7 AM...WITH RESIDUAL LIFT DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY. THE
SURFACE LOW MOVES PAST AROUND 18Z. THE UPPER TROUGH IS CENTERED
OVER NEW ENGLAND AT 00Z/7 PM.

PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE MAINLY RAIN. HOWEVER THEMAL PROFILES SHOW
NEARLY ISOTHERMAL TEMPS IN THE LOWEST 7000 FEET...WITH VALUES NEAR
FREEZING IN NORTHERN MASS/SOUTHERN NH OVERNIGHT. THESE TEMPS THEN
WARM WEDNESDAY MORNING. WE EXPECT PCPN TO BE MAINLY RAIN...BUT
SOME INITIAL MIX WITH SNOW IS POSSIBLE MAINLY IN SOUTHERN NH AND
PARTS OF NORTHERN MASS. PRECIP WATER VALUES MAXIMIZE AT 1.4
INCHES. COMBINE THAT WITH THE STRONG LIFT TO GET POTENTIAL FOR
HEAVY RAIN.

WINDS ALOFT WILL INCREASE WITH SPEEDS AT 900-950 MB FORECAST TO
REACH 50-60 KNOTS. THE SURFACE LOW WILL ALSO DEEPEN AT A FORECAST
RATE OF 2-3 MB PER HOUR. ALL OF THIS SUGGESTS STRONG EAST TO
NORTHEAST WINDS LEADING THE LOW...POSSIBLY STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS
ON THE ISLANDS IF THE SURFACE LOW TRACKS ACROSS SOUTHEAST
MASS/CAPE COD.

TEMPS ARE A BLEND OF MOS. 925 MB TEMPS ARE FORECAST AT 0C TO -1C
NORTHWEST AND 8C ALONG THE SOUTH COAST. THIS WOULD SUPPORT 40S IN
THE NORTHWEST AND NEAR 60 ALONG THE COAST. WE WORKED WITH THE
BLEND TO ACHIEVE THIS RANGE OF VALUES.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
ECMWF HAS TRENDED TOWARD THE LESS AMPLIFIED AND MORE PROGRESSIVE GFS
WITH TROF MOVING ACROSS NEW ENGLAND WED/WED NIGHT.  AS A RESULT WE
DISCOUNTED THE NAM SOLUTION WHICH APPEARS TOO AMPLIFIED AND
CONSEQUENTLY HOLDS ON TO THE PRECIP TOO LONG WED NIGHT AND EVEN INTO
THU.  LEANED TOWARD GFS/ECMWF BLEND FOR THE WEDNESDAY STORM.
THEREAFTER...GFS/ECMWF ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH A BUILDING
RIDGE ALONG THE EAST COAST TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK AND INTO NEXT
WEEKEND AS MID LEVEL TROF AMPLIFIES OVER THE MS VALLEY.  THIS WILL
RESULT IN A WARMING TREND WITH MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS WHICH MAY LAST
INTO NEXT MONDAY AS BLOCKING RIDGE TRIES TO HOLD ON.

WED NIGHT...
BASED ON ECMWF...SHOWERS WILL LINGER INTO WED EVENING ESPECIALLY
E NEW ENG...THEN CLEARING LATE WED NIGHT. AS LOW MOVES TO THE EAST
STRONG NORTH WINDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS E COASTAL NEW ENG WHICH MAY
ALSO REACH ADVSY CRITERIA.

THURSDAY...
LEANING TOWARD MORE PROGRESSIVE GFS/ECMWF WHICH HAS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING INTO NEW ENG WITH DRY WEATHER AND NEAR SEASONABLE TEMPS.
GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS POSSIBLE IN THE MORNING.

FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE IN CONTROL THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH A WARMING
TREND AND TEMPS COULD REACH 60+ DEGREES ON SAT WHICH LOOKS LIKE THE
MILDEST DAY WITH SW FLOW.   WITH HIGH AMPLITUDE TROF TO THE WEST
DOWNSTREAM RIDGING OVER NEW ENG MAY HOLD ON THROUGH MONDAY WITH DRY
WEATHER PERSISTING BUT WITH COOLER EASTERLY FLOW DEVELOPING AS HIGH
PRES SETS UP OVER THE MARITIMES.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MODERATE...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

TODAY...MVFR CEILINGS IN THE CT VALLEY EARLY MORNING. EXPECT THESE
TO HOLD OVER CONNECTICUT AND NEARBY MASS THROUGH SUNRISE...THEN
LIFT TO VFR THIS MORNING. THE REMAINDER OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
WILL HAVE VFR WITH INCREASING MID AND HIGH CLOUDS. LIGHT EAST
FLOW.  HIGH CONFIDENCE.

TONIGHT...RAIN MOVES ACROSS FROM THE OHIO VALLEY. POSSIBLE MIXING
WITH SNOW AT FIRST IN SOUTHERN NH AND NORTHERN MASS. CEILINGS
LOWER FROM VFR IN THE EVENING TO NEAR IFR AFTER MIDNIGHT. VSBYS
LOWER TO 1-2 MILE IFR IN RAIN AND FOG AFTER MIDNIGHT. INCREASING
EAST WINDS AT THE SURFACE WITH LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AFTER
MIDNIGHT.   HIGH CONFIDENCE.

WEDNESDAY...IFR/LIFR IN RAIN AND FOG. WINDS SHIFT FROM EAST TO
NORTH DURING THE DAY BUT SHOULD REMAIN GUSTY IN THE COASTAL PLAIN
AND MAY GUST TO 40 KNOTS CAPE COD AND ISLANDS. MODERATE TO HIGH
CONFIDENCE.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF. VFR THROUGH MIDNIGHT WITH
CONDITIONS LOWERING TO IFR IN RAIN BY 12Z WEDNESDAY. STRONG GUSTY
EAST WINDS.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...

WEDNESDAY NIGHT...CONDITIONS IMPROVE TO VFR DURING THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS BUT EXACT TIMING STILL IN QUESTION.  N WIND GUSTS TO 30-40 KT
POSSIBLE OVER CAPE/ISLANDS POSSIBLY EXTENDING ACROSS REST OF EASTERN
MA.

THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR WITH HIGH PRES BUILDING OVER THE REGION.

&&

.MARINE...
LOW PRESSURE MOVE UP THE OHIO VALLEY TODAY AND ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
WATERS WEDNESDAY. EAST WINDS INCREASE LATER TONIGHT...WITH THE
SPEEDS REACHING SIGNIFICANT VALUES WITHIN THE 24 HOUR WINDOW. ALL
MODELS SHOW 45-60 KNOTS ABOVE 2500 FEET AFTER MIDNIGHT AND INTO
WEDNESDAY.

SO WE HAVE ISSUED GALE WARNINGS FOR THE OUTER WATERS AND FOR CAPE
COD BAY/NANTUCKET SOUND FOR LATER TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING.
THE REMAINING WATERS WILL HAVE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR TONIGHT
AND WEDNESDAY.

WINDS MAY DIMINISH BRIEFLY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS THE LOW PASSES
BY.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...

WED NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN A PERIOD OF NORTHERLY GALE FORCE
WINDS...ESPECIALLY E MA COASTAL WATERS WITH GUSTS TO 40 KT
POSSIBLE.  SEAS BUILDING TO 10-15 FT EASTERN OUTER WATERS.

THU...LINGERING N GALES POSSIBLE EASTERN WATERS IN THE
MORNING...THEN DIMINISHING WINDS.  ROUGH SEAS BUT SLOWLY
SUBSISDING.

FRI INTO SAT...WINDS AND SEAS EXPECTED BELOW SCA...BUT SW WINDS MAY
GUST TO 20+ KT DURING SAT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
TOTAL RAINFALL OF 1 TO 3 INCHES IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY EVENING WITH THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL EXPECTED ACROSS CT-
RI-SOUTHEAST MASS.  THIS WILL RESULT IN TYPICAL URBAN AND POOR
DRAINAGE FLOODING. HOWEVER...RAINFALL AMOUNTS CLOSER TO 3 INCHES
WOULD RESULT IN SHARP RISES ON SOME OF THE FAST RESPONDING RIVERS
WHICH WILL NEED TO BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR POSSIBLE MINOR
FLOODING.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
ASTRONOMICAL TIDES ARE HIGH DURING WED AND THU MORNING TIDE CYCLES.
FLOODING NOT EXPECTED DURING THE WED MORNING HIGH TIDE AS WAVE
ACTION WILL NOT YET HAVE A CHANCE TO BUILD ENOUGH TO PRODUCE A LARGE
ENOUGH TIDAL DEPARTURE.  HOWEVER...THE THU MORNING HIGH TIDE IS MORE
OF A PROBLEM AS A 1 FT STORM SURGE ON TOP OF ALREADY HIGH ASTRO
TIDES AND SEAS GREATER THAN 10 FT MAY RESULT IN MINOR FLOODING.

THIS SCENARIO BEARS WATCHING FOR POTENTIAL BEACH EROSION AND MINOR
COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS COAST. PLEASE
MONITOR FUTURE UPDATES.

&&

.BOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CT...NONE.
MA...NONE.
NH...NONE.
RI...NONE.
MARINE...NONE.
