AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
216 AM EDT WED APR 13 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
A COASTAL STORM WILL BRING HEAVY RAIN...GUSTY WINDS AND CHILLY
WEATHER LATE TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL
THEN BUILD INTO THE REGION THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...BRINGING DRY AND
SEASONABLE WEATHER. ANOTHER STORM IS ON THE HORIZON BEGINNING LATE
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE RAIN AND
GUSTY WINDS.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
BANDS OF RAIN SHOWERS WITH BRIEF PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL
CONTINUE TO IMPACT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND OVERNIGHT. THIS A RESULT OF
VIGOROUS UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM OVER THE MID ATLANTIC GENERATING STRONG
MID LEVEL LIFT. IN ADDITION...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
WILL OCCUR MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE REGION...AS A
RESULT OF STRONG DYNAMICS AND A BIT OF ELEVATED INSTABILITY. OVER
THE NEXT FEW HOURS...MOST OF THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE FOUND ACROSS
NORTHERN CT AND SOUTHWEST MA.
OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD FALL INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 40S ACROSS MOST
OF THE REGION. IN ADDITION...EASTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT
ALONG THE COAST IN RESPONSE TO LOW PRESSURE LIFTING NORTHEAST. THIS
WILL MAKE FOR A RAW/WET AND CHILLY WEATHER TO START THE WEDNESDAY
MORNING RUSH HOUR.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
MODELS BRING LOW PRES ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE DAY. VERY GOOD
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE...ALONG WITH A GOOD PLUME OF
ATLANTIC MOISTURE WORKING IN ON E-SE WINDS. SO...EXPECT A GOOD
SLUG OF QPF WITH THIS FEATURE. HAVE FORECASTED A GENERAL 0.75-1.25
INCHES PRECIP FOR MOST OF THE REGION...MAINLY EAST OF THE CT RIVER
VALLEY...WITH THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL THROUGH 00Z THU. MAY SEE SOME
ENHANCED RAINFALL ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE WORCESTER
HILLS...NE CT AND NW RI...POSSIBLY AS FAR INLAND AS THE
MONADNOCKS.
EXPECT IMPROVING CONDITIONS LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THIS LOW MOVES
INTO THE GULF OF MAINE.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MAIN POINTS
* HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY WX IN CONTROL FOR THURSDAY THRU SATURDAY
* STORM SYSTEM ANTICIPATED SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY NIGHT
* INTO THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS
* ANOTHER WET WX MESS POTENTIAL BEGINNING MONDAY NIGHT INTO THE WEEK
OVERVIEW
MDL SOLNS FAIRLY SUCCINCT IN HANDLING TRENDS THRU SUNDAY NIGHT...
ALBEIT GFS/ECMWF DIFFER EVER SLIGHTLY IN TERMS OF TIMING AND
HANDLING OF MASS FIELDS LENDING TO VARYING OUTCOMES. GFS HAS BECOME
THE FASTER OUTLIER OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS...SO STUCK CLOSE TO
THE ECMWF SOLN WHILE INCORPORATING THE NAM FOR THE THURS/FRI FCST.
BEYOND MONDAY SOLNS ARE IN POOR AGREEMENT. PROGNOSTIC EVALUATIONS OF
SOLNS ILLUSTRATE SUBSTANTIAL RUN-TO-RUN CHANGES AND DISCREPANCIES
BEYOND THE WEEKEND. EVEN ENS MEMBERS ARE NOT IN FULL AGREEMENT OF
THEIR RESPECTIVE OPERATIONAL MDL SOLNS. NEVERTHELESS HIGHLIGHTED
TRENDS STILL HAVE SOME CONGRUENT NATURE. LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN GOING
FCST BEYOND MONDAY.
DETAILS
* THURSDAY
MIDWEEK SYS WILL EXIT NEWD THRU THE SERN CANADIAN MARITIMES AND HIGH
PRES WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA OUT OF THE HUDSON BAY. MINOR CAA AT
H85 MID-LVLS UNDER NW FLOW DOWN TO THE SFC BECOMING LIGHT BY DUSK.
NOTABLY A MID-LVL DISTURBANCE AND ATTENDANT H3 JET STREAK WILL BEGIN
TO ROUND THE ARCTIC LOW THRU THE SRN CANADIAN MARITIMES AND BEGIN TO
DIG THRU NRN NEW ENGLAND. SOME MID-LVL CLOUDS WILL BE PSBL...THIS IN
ADDITION TO POTENTIAL STRATOCU AS LOW-LVLS MIX OUT. MOSTLY CLEAR TO
PARTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS EXPECTED...WITH CLOUDS BUILDING FROM THE W.
FEEL SUNSHINE WILL BE IN ABUNDANCE SO TEMPS TO WARM INTO THE UPR 50S
TO LOW 60S...COOLER ALONG THE SHORES. NW FLOW WILL WEAKEN WITH THE
EXITING MIDWEEK SYS...DRY WX.
* THURSDAY NIGHT
HIGH PRES STILL IN CONTROL RESULTING IN LGT/VRB NLY FLOW. MID-LVL
DISTURBANCE WILL ROUND THRU NRN NEW ENGLAND SO WILL STILL SEE SOME
MID-UPR LVL CLOUDS STREAM THRU THE AREA. GUIDANCE HINTING AT SOME
CHCS POPS WITH MOIST LOW-LVLS AND ENHANCED LIFT AHEAD OF THE SHRTWV
VORT MAX. NEVERTHELESS FEEL INFLUENTIAL HUDSON BY HIGH WILL DIMINISH
CHC POPS...AND THE SUBSEQUENT DISTURBANCE WILL BE FAIRLY MOISTURE
DEPRIVED. CONSIDERATION OF POTENTIAL NOCTURNAL COOLING...DROPPED
TEMPS INTO THE LOW-MID 30S FOR THE NW FCST RGN...WITH UPR 30S TO LOW
40S ELSEWHERE.
* FRIDAY
MID-LVL DISTURBANCE IS PROGGED TO TRANSLATE E THRU THE RGN AS SFC
HIGH PRES REMAINS IN CONTROL. WITH POTENTIAL CLOUDINESS IN ASSOC
WITH THE DISTURBANCE...AND THE LIKELIHOOD TO SEE MID-LVL TEMPS AT
H85 FALL SLIGHTLY TO RANGE FROM 0 TO -4C...WENT WITH TEMPS WENT
COOLER THAN THURS WITH UPR 40S TO LOW 50S. WINDS WILL BE LGT/VRB OUT
OF THE N SHIFTING OUT OF THE NE/E INTO DUSK AS THE CNTRL PLAINS
STORM BEGINS TO EDGE NEWD. HAVE KEPT POPS BELOW SLGT CHC FEELING IF
ANY PRECIP SHOULD DEVELOP IN ASSOC WITH THE DISTURBANCE IT WILL
LIKELY NOT REACH THE GROUND.
* FRIDAY NIGHT
NE WINDS BEGIN TO INCREASE IN RESPONSE TO APPROACHING DEEP LOW OUT
OF THE CNTRL PLAINS. WILL LIKELY SEE INCREASING CLOUDS IN RESPONSE
TO ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE AND DIFLUENT FLOW ALOFT AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING LOW. MID-LVL COOLER AIR AND LOW THICKNESSES WILL STILL
HOLD OVER THE RGN...BUT WILL SEE A GRADUAL WARMING TREND. HAVE GONE
A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN THURS NIGHT MINS WITH MID-UPR 30S FOR THE
NW FCST ZONES AND LOW-MID 40S ELSEWHERE.
* SATURDAY
CLOUDS ON THE INCREASE. MAIN FCST CHALLENGE FOR THE PD INVOLVES
ANTICIPATING THE IMPACT OF RESIDUAL EFFECTS FROM THE DEPARTING HIGH
PRES SLIDING N OF THE NRN NEW ENGLAND...HOW EFFECTIVELY WILL IT KEEP
LOW-LVLS DRY AND KEEP PRECIP AT BAY? ONE POINT OF CONSIDERATION IS
THE STRONG ONSHORE FLOW AIDED BY E/NE WINDS...POTENTIALLY TO BE
SUSTAINED AT 25 MPH WITH POTENTIAL GUSTS AIDED BY A MIXING POTENTIAL
AS SKIES WILL BE PARTLY CLOUDY DURING THE INITIAL PORTION OF THE PD.
ANTICIPATE HIGH TO CONTROL AND RETAIN DRY WX FOR MUCH OF THE DAY
WITH ONSET OF PRECIP INTO EVENING AS DIFLUENT FLOW ALOFT BEGINS TO
STREAM OVER THE FCST RGN. WILL GO WITH SLGT CHC POPS FOR THE WRN
ZONES BY DUSK.
* SATURDAY NIGHT
MDL SOLNS AND CURRENT FCST TRENDS TEETER TEMPS INTO THE EVENING FOR
THE NW FCST AREA AT OR BELOW FRZG...AND MDL SOLNS HINT AT
THICKNESSES TO RANGE BETWEEN 153-154DM AT H85-H7 WITH ONSET OF
PRECIP. CONFIDENCE IS LOW CONSIDERING A POTENTIAL FOR SEEING WINTRY
PRECIP TYPES DURING THE EARLY PORTION OF THE STORM AS THE RGN WILL
SEE A TONGUE OF WARM AND MOIST AIR PRESS NWD AIDED BY STRONG SLY
FLOW 50-60 KTS AT H925-H85...BUT IT CANT BE RULED OUT WITH THE
POSSIBILITY OF COLDER AIR BECOMING TRAPPED IN VALLEYS. STRONG
DIFLUENT FLOW ALOFT WILL BE COMPLEMENTED WITH AN ATTENDANT MAIN
SHRTWV ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE TROF WITH THE PARENT H3 JET STREAK.
STRONG DYNAMICS LENDING TO INCREASE LIFT TOWARDS MORNING...HAVE CHC
TRANSITIONING TO LIKELY POPS THRU THE OVERNIGHT PD. MECHANICAL
MIXING AND POTENTIAL PRECIP DRAG COULD BRING FASTER MOMENTUM TO THE
SFC LENDING TO GUSTY SLY FLOW. WILL LIKELY SEE A WARMING TREND THRU
THE PD WITH THE COLDEST TEMPS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
EVENING...WARMING THEREAFTER.
* SUNDAY
DYNAMICS SLIDE E ALONG WITH BETTER PRECIP CHCS. UNCERTAINTY RESOLVES
TO HOW THE SYS IS HANDLED BY THE LATEST GUIDANCE. WINDS WILL SHIFT
OUT OF THE SW WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE WITH POTENTIAL GUSTS BEHIND
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THRU THE DAY AS SKIES WILL POTENTIALLY
CLEAR...THANKS TO A DRY SLOT WRAPPING BEHIND THE SYS...ALLOWING
EFFECTIVE MIXING OF THE LOWER BOUNDARY LAYER. TEMPS MAY WARM IN THE
VICINITY OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND WITH THE POTENTIAL CLEARING.
HAVE GONE MAINLY MID-UPR 50S FOR THE RGN.
* SUNDAY NIGHT AND BEYOND
MDL SOLNS DIFFER WITH THE LATER FCST PD. THE OVERALL TREND IS FOR
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WITH THE WEEKEND STORM TO LIFT AND STALL ACROSS
THE FCST RGN THANKS IN PART TO HIGH PRES BUILDING NWD FROM THE SERN
CONUS AND SYNOPTIC DISTURBANCES RIDING THRU THE MARITIME JET ACROSS
THE NRN CONUS. WILL SEE THE STALL FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO ACT AS A FOCUS
FOR SLGT CHCS OF PRECIP INTO MID-WEEK AS ANOTHER STORM SYS BECOMES
BETTER ORGANIZED INTO MIDWEEK. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY FOR THE HIGH
ACROSS THE SERN CONUS TO LIFT THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY NWD TEMPORARILY
AND ALLOW FOR A PERIOD OF DRY WX ON MONDAY.

TO INCREASE 10-12 FT FOR THE OPEN WATERS. HAVE MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN
SEEING THE POTENTIAL FOR GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS DURING THE EVENING
PERIOD INITIALLY FOR THE SRN OPEN WATERS SPREADING E AND POTENTIALLY
INTO THE NEAR SHORE WATERS AND BAYS.
SUNDAY...SE WINDS 25-30 KTS SUSTAINED DURING THE MORNING WILL
DIMINISH 20-25 KTS OUT OF THE SW INTO THE LATE AFTN AND EVENING PD
IN CONCERT WITH THE PASSAGE OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY. 10-12 FT SEAS
DIMINISHING TO 8 TO 10 FT. MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN SEEING GALE FORCE
