AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
339 PM EDT THU MAR 17 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
UNSEASONABLY MILD CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH FRIDAY. AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT MAY BRING A FEW SHOWERS LATE TONIGHT AND
FRIDAY MORNING ALONG WITH WINDY CONDITIONS FRIDAY. THE FRONT WILL
MOVE SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND FRIDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED BY COOLER WEATHER
FOR THE WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION. A FRONT
MAY STALL CLOSE TO THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH A COUPLE OF
WEAK LOW PRESSURE AREAS MOVING ALONG IT BY MID WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
SPLENDID WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON WILL TRANSITION TO QUIET WEATHER
TONIGHT ALONG WITH MILD TEMPERATURES AS SOUTHWEST WIND FLOW BECOMES
ESTABLISHED ESPECIALLY THE SECOND HALF OF THE NIGHT. TEMPERATURES
WILL FALL THIS EVENING WITH SUNSET BUT WILL LIKELY LEVEL OFF OR
PERHAPS RISE TOWARD MORNING IN RESPONSE TO STRONG LOW LEVEL WARM AIR
ADVECTION COURTESY OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT AND LOW LEVEL JET.

CLOUDS WILL INCREASE TOWARD MORNING ALONG WITH A LOW PROBABILITY OF
AN ISOLATED SHOWER ACROSS NORTHWEST MA AND SOUTHWEST NH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...

*** STRONG WINDS AND NEAR RECORD HIGHS FRIDAY ***

TEMPERATURES WILL GET OFF TO A MILD START FRI MORNING AS A COLD
FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION. LOW LEVEL SOUTHWEST JET WILL RESULT IN
STRONG LOW LEVEL WARM AIR ADVECTION INTO THE MORNING. CLOUDS MAY
BRIEFLY LIMIT HEATING DURING THE MORNING BUT SKIES WILL CLEAR AROUND
MIDDAY WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. THIS INCREASING SUNSHINE ALONG WITH
A WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST AND DOWNSLOPING WIND COMPONENT WILL
YIELD RAPID WARMING DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON.

ALL GUIDANCE OFFERS HIGHS IN THE M60S BUT GIVEN THIS DOWNSLOPING
WIND ALONG WITH STRONG GUSTS WILL LIKELY ADD AT LEAST A FEW DEGS
FROM ADIABATIC WARMING. 2 METER TEMPS FROM THE ECMWF HAS BEEN A GOOD
PREDICTOR FOR HIGHS PROVIDED BLYR IS WELL MIXED...AND THIS IS THE
CASE FOR FRI. THE 12Z ECMWF OFFERS HIGHS AROUND 70 TOMORROW ACROSS
RI AND SE MA. THIS SEEMS REASONABLE SO BASED ON THE ABOVE REASONING
DECIDED TO GO ABOVE MOS GUID BY A FEW DEGS WITH RI AND SE MA SEEING
HIGHS AROUND 70!  THIS WILL BE NEAR RECORD VALUES. SEE CLIMATE
SECTION FOR DETAILS.

AS FOR STRONG WIND POTENTIAL...DEEPENING BOUNDARY LAYER BEHIND
DEPARTING COLD FRONT TOMORROW WILL PROMOTE MIXING TO ABOUT 850 MB.
WINDS AT THIS LEVEL ARE 40-50 KT. THIS COMBINED WITH A MODEST PRES
RISE/FALL COUPLET ASSOCIATED WITH FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL SUPPORT POST
FRONTAL WIND GUSTS OF 40-50 MPH ALONG WITH A LOW PROBABILITY OF
GUSTS APPROACHING 60 MPH! THEREFORE WILL HOIST A WIND ADVISORY FOR
THE ENTIRE REGION FRI EXCEPT THE CAPE AND ISLANDS WHERE THE LATER
FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL PRECLUDE STEEPENING LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES.
CONFIDENCE IS LOW REGARDING WIND SPEEDS UP TO 60 MPH BUT WOULD NOT
BE SURPRISED IF WE SEE AN HOUR OR TWO OF DAMAGING WINDS IMMEDIATELY
BEHIND THE FRONTAL PASSAGE FRI AFTN. EXPECT WINDS TO INCREASE
RAPIDLY WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE BEGINNING AROUND MIDDAY AND THEN
EASING AROUND SUNSET.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SHOWING GOOD CONTINUITY THROUGH THIS WEEKEND...
THEN HAVING DIFFICULTY RESOLVING THE DEVELOPMENT OF LONG WAVE
TROUGH/CUTOFF LOW ACROSS THE WESTERN U.S. AND ITS IMPLICATIONS WITH
EJECTING WEAK SHORT WAVES EASTWARD. FURTHER EAST...A MAINLY ZONAL
FLOW IN PLACE...CAUSING TIMING ISSUES WITH THESE WEAK WAVES ACROSS
THE NORTHERN TIER ALONG WITH WHERE A FRONTAL BOUNDARY HANGS UP.
ONE OTHER INTERESTING FEATURE IS A PRETTY GOOD COLD OUTBREAK APPEARS
ACROSS THE N CENTRAL INTO NE U.S. BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...WHICH
ALSO HAS IMPLICATIONS WITH PTYPE AS THE WAVES MOVE ALONG.

USED A BLEND OF THE 12Z ECMWF OP RUN ALONG WITH THE 00Z GFS ENSEMBLE
MEAN WHICH APPEARED TO HAVE PRETTY GOOD HANDLE ON TIMING AND
SENSIBLE WEATHER FEATURES.

SATURDAY-MONDAY...CANADIAN HIGH PRES WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL.
EXPECT MAINLY MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS...THOUGH CLOUDS MAY RETURN
ALONG THE S COAST SATURDAY NIGHT WITH LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW...ALONG
WITH A WEAK WAVE PASSING WELL S OF THE REGION. DAYTIME HIGHS
THROUGH THE WEEKEND WILL MAINLY BE IN THE 40S...BUT WILL BE CHILLY
AT NIGHT WITH LOWS MAINLY IN THE 20S.

THE HIGH WILL SLIP OFF THE COAST DURING MONDAY AS LOW PRES HEADS TO
THE GREAT LAKES WITH AN ASSOCIATED FRONT. WINDS WILL VEER TO S...SO
TEMPS MAY BE A LITTLE MILDER /POSSIBLY CLOSE TO 50 AT SOME
LOCATIONS/...BUT CLOUDS WILL BE INCREASING DURING THE AFTERNOON
AHEAD OF APPROACHING FRONT.

MONDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY...MODELS DURING THIS TIMEFRAME STILL HAVING A
TOUGH TIME RESOLVING HOW FAR S THE FRONT WILL GET BEFORE HANGING UP
SOMEWHERE NEAR OR JUST S OF THE REGION. THEN...MORE QUESTIONS AS TO
ONE OR TWO WEAK LOW PRES WAVES MOVING ALONG THIS FRONT BRINGING IN
THE THREAT OF PRECIP. FINALLY...APPEARS A GOOD SHOT OF COLD AIR WILL
WORK INTO THE N CENTRAL U.S. WHICH MAY START TO SLIP INTO THE
REGION. THIS BRINGS IMPLICATIONS FOR PTYPE AND HOW MUCH IF ANY SNOW
MAY FALL /WHICH IS ALSO DEPENDENT UPON QPF...WHICH DOES NOT APPEAR
TO BE TOO ABUNDANT AT LEAST FOR NOW/.

PRECIP ON MONDAY NIGHT APPEARS TO BE MAINLY RAIN WITH THE S-SW FLOW
KEEPING MILDER AIR WORKING IN. ONCE THE FRONT WORKS THROUGH...MAY
SEE BRIEF BREAK IN THE PRECIP DURING TUESDAY BEFORE NEXT SYSTEM
APPROACHES. MAY BE COLD ENOUGH FOR SOME SNOW ACROSS NORTHERN AND
WESTERN MA INTO S NH MAINLY AT NIGHT...BUT AGAIN NOT CERTAIN HOW
MUCH QPF WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE WEAK WAVES. SO...FOR NOW...KEPT
CONTINUITY WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AND HAVE ONLY CHANCE POPS
GOING.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

SHOWER POSSIBLE NW MA AND SRN NH IN THE MORNING...OTHERWISE MAINLY
VFR CIGS BKN040-050 WITH CLEARING SKIES IN THE AFTERNOON. STRONG
FRONTAL PASSAGE AROUND MIDDAY WITH WIND SHIFT FROM SW TO NW. AHEAD
OF THE FRONT SW WINDS 20-30 KT LIKELY AND THEN BEHIND THE FRONT NW
WINDS 25-35KT WITH GUSTS 40-50KT! AREAS OF LLWS EARLY AND THEN
DIMINISHES WITH PASSAGE OF COLD FRONT. OVERALL MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

FRI NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR ALONG WITH DIMINISHING WINDS.

KBOS TERMINAL...SEA BREEZE UNLIKELY TAFTN WITH WIND SHIFT FROM
WEST TO SOUTH EARLY THIS EVENING. HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR WITH LOW

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

SATURDAY...MEDIUM TO HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR. PATCHY MVFR CIGS
POSSIBLE ACROSS RI/SE MA THROUGH MIDDAY WITH ONSHORE FLOW...THEN

MONDAY...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE FOR VFR. CLOUDS INCREASING FROM W-E
DURING THE DAY...BUT EXPECT MAINLY VFR. LOW PROBABILITY OF SCATTERED
SHOWERS MID-LATE AFTERNOON ACROSS CT VALLEY WITH LOCAL MVFR VSBYS.

POSSIBLE IN THE AFTN.

FRI NIGHT...NW WINDS EASE AND SHIFT TO N-NE BY MORNING. CHOPPY SEAS
WITH THE SHIFTING WINDS. VSBY SHOULD BE GOOD.

OUTLOOK...SAT THROUGH MONDAY...

SATURDAY-SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD N OF THE WATERS
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. N-NE WINDS REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA.
HOWEVER...SEAS MAY BUILD ON THE EASTERN OPEN WATERS WITH ONSHORE
FETCH. WINDS SHIFT TO S SUNDAY NIGHT.
