AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
733 PM EDT THU MAY 5 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER MAINE WILL LIFT INTO CANADA TONIGHT. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE FOR FRIDAY WILL PROVIDE A SHORT REPREIVE AND FANTASTIC
WEATHER. MORE UNSETTLED WEATHER IS POSSIBLE OVER THE WEEKEND AS A
SERIES OF DISTURBANCES MOVE INTO NEW ENGLAND. AN OCEAN STORM TO THE
EAST MAY BRING MORE CLOUDS AND COOLER TEMPERATURES TO EASTERN NEW
ENGLAND EARLY NEXT WEEK...OTHERWISE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO
THE REGION FROM THE NORTH.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
730 PM UPDATE...FORECAST RIGHT ON TRACK. SHOWERS ARE DIMINISHING
AS ARE THE LOW CLOUDS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THERE WAS A
BRIEF BOUT OF SMALL HAIL FROM WOONSOCKET TO DIGHTON LATE THIS
AFTERNOON IN AN ISOLATED SHOWER THAT REACHED UP TO 50 DBZ AT 8400
FT WHICH WAS COLD ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SOME VERY SMALL HAIL.
AGAIN...ALL ACTIVITY IS RAPIDLY DIMINISHING.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
SFC LOW CONTINUES ITS OCCLUSION PROCESS INTO CENTRAL QUEBEC. AS
THIS OCCURS INFLUENTIAL MID-LVL RIDGING BUILDS OUT OF THE SERN
CONUS AND COLDER AIR THRU THE ATMOS COLUMN IS SHUNTED NWD WITH
FLOW BECOMING MORE W/SWLY...WITH SFC FLOW OUT OF THE SW. WILL SEE
SHOWERY ACTIVITY AND STRATOCU DISSIPATE INTO THE EVENING HRS.
STILL HAVE SLGT CHC TO CHC POPS FOR THE NRN FCST RGNS AS THE LOW
AND ATTENDANT ENERGY SLOWLY LIFT NWD. EXPECT MOST OF THE ENERGY
OUT OF THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT.

INCREASED SUBSIDENCE AND DRIER AIR WILL ALLOW FOR EFFECTIVE COOLING
OF LLVLS. ALTHO EXPECTANT GRADUAL CLEARING OF STRATOCU AS BETTER
CYCLONIC FLOW LIFTS NWD AND RIDGE INFLUENCES BUILD OUT OF THE S...
SIGNIFICANT COOLING OF LLVLS MAY BE LIMITED BY 5-10 MPH SW FLOW.
ALBEIT SHOULD THE FLOW WEAKEN AT ANY POINT...WHICH IS PSBL...WOULD
ALLOW FOR SFC TEMPS TO FALL AND FURTHER DECOUPLING OF THE ATMOS.
THEREFORE BASED ON THE PRESENT GROWING SEASON WHICH SHOULD BE IN
EFFECT SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE...HAVE ISSUED FROST ADVISORIES FOR THE
N CT RGN INTO NW PROVIDENCE COUNTY IN RI. ANTICIPATE TEMPS THRU THIS
RGN TO RANGE BETWEEN 33-36F FOR MINS.

&&

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

MID-LVL RIDGE BUILDS THRU THE RGN LENDING TO A FANTASTIC DAY
WEATHER-WISE. SW FLOW CONTINUING ALONG AND AHEAD OF A MID-ATLANTIC
TROF SWINGING S OF THE FCST RGN BY THE END OF THE PD. WITH DIFLUENT
FLOW IN WAKE OF THE RIDGE...LIKELY TO SEE AN INCREASE IN MID-UPR LVL
CLOUDS ADVECTING EWD THRU THE MEAN LYR FLOW AND INTO THE FCST RGN.

SHOULD BE A DRY DAY OVERALL AND WITH EXPECTED SUNSHINE...LLVLS ARE
ANTICIPATED TO EFFECTIVELY MIX ALLOWING FASTER MOMENTUM ALOFT TO THE
SFC...EXPECT SW GUSTS AROUND 20-25 MPH. THIS MAY BE INHIBITED OUT TO
SEA AS WAA ALOFT WOULD CAP COOLER CONDITIONS OVER THE WATERS AND
ADJACENT SHORELINES...BUT CANT RULE OUT SEEING FASTER ONSHORE FLOW
FOR THE S SHORELINE.

WILL GO WITH WARM INTERIOR TEMPS IN THE UPR 60S TO LOW 70S...CANT
RULE OUT LOCALES GOING A FEW DEGREES HIGHER WITH SW FLOW...WHILE THE
S SHORE MAY REMAIN SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER AS COOLER AIR IS USHERED
INLAND OFF THE COLDER WATERS.

FRIDAY NIGHT...

H5 TROF LIFTS THRU THE NEW ENGLAND RGN WITH ELEMENTS OF ENHANCED
ASCENT ALONG A SFC COLD FRNT WITH THE AID OF A WEAK H3 JET STREAK
ROUNDING THE BASE. THE COLD FRNT WILL LIE ACROSS THE FCST RGN BY
MORNING WITH A SFC LOW WITHIN THE SAINT LAWRENCE VLY RGN...DRAPED
S THRU THE WRN ATLANTIC INTO A SECONDARY AREA OF LOW PRES DEEPENING
OFFSHORE.

MDL SOLNS EMPHASIZE THE BEST ENHANCED LIFT AND SFC CONV MAY REMAIN
OFFSHORE WITH THIS SFC LOW DEVELOPMENT...WITH THE BEST IMPACTS OVER
THE SERN FCST RGN. 12Z NAM HIGHLIGHTS THIS ATTENDANT RGN TO BE
ACCOMPANIED WITH MUCAPES OF 100-200 J/KG WITH TT VALUES AROUND 50
ALLOWING FOR AN ISOLATED THUNDER CHC TOWARDS MORNING.

SFC WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM THE SW OUT OF THE W WITH THE COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGE. NEVERTHELESS SW FLOW AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WILL ALLOW FOR
CONTINUED MOISTENING OVERNIGHT THUS INHIBITING MINS FROM FALLING AS
LOW AS THE PREV EVENING. LOOKING FOR LOWS IN THE MID-UPR 40S...WITH
VALUES AROUND 50 DEGREES FOR THE SERN FCST RGN.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MID LEVEL TROF OVER NEW ENG MOVES TO THE EAST AND AMPLIFIES OVER
THE W ATLANTIC EARLY NEXT WEEK AS RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE MIDWEST
AND GT LAKES. AFTER SOME UNSETTLED WX THIS WEEKEND...ESPECIALLY
ON SAT...TREND WILL BE FOR DRIER WX AND SEASONABLE TEMPS ACROSS W
NEW ENG AS HIGH PRES BUILDS IN FROM THE N. LOWER CONFIDENCE
FORECAST EASTERN NEW ENG AS GUIDANCE DIFFERS ON WESTERN EXTENT OF
OCEAN STORM TO THE EAST WHICH MAY IMPACT THE COAST EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

SATURDAY...
DECENT MID LEVEL TROF AND ASSOCD SFC TROF MOVES EWD INTO NEW ENG
WHICH WILL LIKELY BRING SCT SHOWERS TO SNE. COLD POOL ALOFT WILL
DESTABILIZE ATMOS WITH MARGINAL SBCAPES UP TO 500 J/KG
DEVELOPING. ALSO...IMPRESSIVE TT VALUES INCREASING TO LOW TO MID
50S SUGGESTS CHC TSTMS AS WELL. WE ADDED SLIGHT CHC TSTMS TO THE
GRIDS.

ANY CONVECTION SHOULD WEAKEN AND DISSIPATE BY SAT EVENING AS MID
LEVEL TROF MOVES TO THE EAST AND DAYTIME HEATING IS LOST.

SUNDAY...
GFS MOVES THE TROF WELL E OF NEW ENG...WHILE ECMWF AND GGEM HAVE
CLOSED LOW DEVELOPING JUST TO THE EAST OF NEW ENG. ECMWF/GGEM MORE
BULLISH ON SHOWER POTENTIAL FOR SUN BUT EVEN GFS SUGGESTS A FEW
SHOWERS POSSIBLE ASSOCD WITH RESIDUAL MID LEVEL COLD POOL.
HOWEVER...EXPECT LESS COVERAGE OF SHOWERS COMPARED TO SAT SO WE
HAVE JUST SLIGHT CHC POPS IN THE GRIDS.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...
FORECAST WILL DEPEND ON WESTERN EXTENT OF OCEAN STORM TO THE EAST.
GFS KEEPS IT FAR ENOUGH EAST WITH HIGH PRES IN CONTROL FOR MUCH OF
THE REGION. HOWEVER...ECMWF AND GGEM HAVE THE LOW FAR ENOUGH
WEST TO ALLOW CLOUDS AND SHOWERS TO BACK IN FROM THE OCEAN WITH
GUSTY NE WINDS AND MUCH COOLER TEMPS...ESPECIALLY E NEW ENG. LOW
CONFIDENCE FORECAST BUT CANT DISCOUNT THE ECMWF SO BLENDED IT WITH
THE GFS. INTRODUCED SLIGHT CHC POPS AND MORE CLOUDS TO EASTERN NEW
ENG WITH MOSUNNY AND SEASONABLE TEMPS FOR W NEW ENG. ECMWF
VERBATIM WOULD RESULT IN A MORE PESSIMISTIC FORECAST THAN WE
CURRENTLY HAVE.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...
IT APPEARS OCEAN STORM WILL LOSE ITS GRIP ON THE REGION AS HIGH
PRES GAINS MORE CONTROL. RESULT WILL BE DRY WEATHER AND SEASONABLE
TEMPS...BUT STILL COOLER ACROSS E COASTAL MA DUE TO PERSISTENT NE
WINDS.

&&

SW. COULD SEE SOME POTENTIAL MVFR CIG/VSBY IMPACTS OVER THE S/SE
TERMINALS WITH ONSET OF SHRA. MAY ALSO SEE SOME FOG IMPACTS AS A
WARMER AND MORE MOIST AIRMASS ADVECTS OVER COOLER WATERS AND
ONSHORE FOR THOSE SAME SRN TERMINALS.

KBOS TERMINAL...
HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR. ANTICIPATE MVFR CIGS TO DISSIPATE THE NEXT
HR OR TWO AND LIFT VFR. NW FLOW TO CONTINUE WITH GUSTS AROUND 20
KTS FOR THE AFTN PD DISSIPATING OVERNIGHT ALONG WITH SCT SHRA.
THEREAFTER SKIES TO GRADUALLY CLEAR NWD...VFR FOR FRIDAY WITH MID-
HIGH LVL CLOUDS DRIFTING THRU THE TERMINALS LATE IN THE PD UNDER
SW FLOW GUSTING 20-25 KTS.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

SATURDAY...LOW TO MEDIUM CONFIDENCE. MOSTLY VFR CIGS
EXPECTED...BUT PERIODS OF MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE ALONG WITH SCT
SHOWERS/TSTMS WITH LOWER VSBYS.

SUNDAY...LOW TO MEDIUM CONFIDENCE.  MAINLY VFR.

MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...MEDIUM TO HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR ACROSS
WESTERN NEW ENG. LOW CONFIDENCE EASTERN NEW ENG AS CLOUDS AND A
FEW SHOWERS MAY BACK INTO THE REGION FROM THE OCEAN DEPENDING ON
HOW FAR WEST OCEAN STORM GETS.

WATERS RESULTING IN CONTINUED SCA.

FRIDAY NIGHT...
LOW TO MEDIUM CONFIDENCE OF 25 KT WINDS LINGERING ALONG THE INNER
WATERS CLOSE TO SHORE. WILL STILL CONTINUE TO SEE SEAS AT OR ABOVE
5 FEET FOR THE OUTER WATERS. CONTINUED SCA FOR THE OUTER WATERS
DURING THE PERIOD.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

SW WINDS SAT SHIFTING TO N SUN...MAINLY BELOW SCA CRITERIA WITH
GUSTS UP TO 20 KT. A PERIOD OF N/NE SCA WINDS WITH GUSTS TO 25-30
