AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
415 PM EDT MON MAY 23 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT...FOLLOWED BY WARMER
WEATHER ON TUESDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS NEW ENGLAND LATER
TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...THEN MOVE OUT TO SEA WEDNESDAY. WEAK
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS ON THURSDAY. MORE UNSETTLED WEATHER
RETURNS LATE THIS WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
NORTHERN STREAM UPPER SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND
NEW YORK TONIGHT. WEST-SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT DRIVES A WARM FRONT
FROM THE MID ATLANTIC STATES NORTH ACROSS NEW ENGLAND. THIS
GENERATES PLENTY OF LIFT. PER BUFKIT THE LOWEST 2000 FEET ARE
RELATIVELY STABLE...BUT ABOVE 2000 FEET THE AIRMASS SHOWS LIMITED
INSTABILITY WITH LAPSE RATES AROUND 6.25C PER KM. WILL CONITNUE
WITH LIKELY POPS FOR SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDER. PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES CLIMB TO BETWEEN 1.25 AND 1.6 INCHES...SO BRIEF HEAVY
DOWNPOURS ARE POSSIBLE.

NO PARTICULAR FAVORITE AMONG THE MODELS...SO WE USED A BLEND OF
MET AND MAV MOS VALUES FOR TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
THE WARM FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH AND EAST OF US BY TUESDAY MORNING
TAKING WITH IT THE BEST LIFT. THIS WILL ALLOW THE AIRMASS TO DRY A
LITTLE...ESPECIALLY BETWEEN 700 MB AND 850 MB...WHICH WILL MEAN
BREAKS OF SUNSHINE DURING THE DAY. THE SOLAR HEATING WILL TRIGGER
SUFFICIENT MIXING TO TAP WARM AIR ALL THE WAY TO 850 MB AWAY FROM
THE COASTLINE. TEMPS AT THAT LEVEL ARE FORECAST AROUND +14C WHICH
WOULD SUPPORT MAX TEMPS IN THE MID 80S...BUT CLOUD COVER WILL
LIMIT THE HEATING SO WE USED MAX TEMPS IN THE MID 70S TO LOWER
80S. A FEW SPOTS COULD HEAT TO 83 OR 84 DEGREES WITH ENOUGH SUN.
MARINE AIR WILL HOLD TEMPS ALONG THE SOUTH COAST TO THE 60S AND
LOWER 70S.

THE HEATING AND INCREASED DEWPOINTS WILL ACT TO DESTABILIZE THE
AIRMASS JUST AS A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH MOVES IN TO SERVE AS A FOCUS.
MUCH OF THE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL WILL DEPEND ON THE AMOUNT OF
SUNSHINE...BUT ENOUGH POTENTIAL INSTABILITY AS NOTED BY LI VALUES
OF -2 TO -4 NORTHWEST OF A BOSTON-PROVIDENCE LINE. WINDS AT 850 MB
ARE FORECAST AROUND 30 KNOTS...AT 500 MB AROUND 35 KNOTS. THESE
ARE BORDERLINE VALUES FOR STRAIGHT LINE WINDS. WET BULB ZERO
VALUES ARE FORECAST AT 10 THOUSAND TO 11 THOUSAND
FEET...BORDERLINE FOR LARGE HAIL. WINDS ALOFT OF 2000 FEET WILL
HAVE SIMILAR DIRECTIONS...SO LINES ARE A POSSIBILITY.

BOTTOM LINE...EXPECT SHOWERS AND A FEW TSTMS WITH BEST CHANCE IN
THE CT VALLEY AND SRN NH. PROBABILITY OF THUNDER WILL DIMINISH
WHEREVER THE FLOW IS COMING FROM THE OCEAN.

TUESDAY NIGHT...COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE REGION WITH A
WINDSHIFT TO NORTHWEST BEHIND IT. LINGERING SCATTERED
SHOWERS/TSTMS WITH POPS DIMINISHING IN THE NORTHWEST OVERNIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT UNTIL AROUND THE END OF
THE WEEK...THEN A WIDENING VARIANCE IN MODEL SOLUTIONS BY THIS
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK LENDS FOR LOW CONFIDENCE FOR THIS
PORTION OF THE FORECAST. MAY BE SEEING ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL PATTERN
CHANGE...POSSIBLY INTO ANOTHER BLOCKING PATTERN.

WEDNESDAY...KEPT CHANCE SHOWERS GOING ACROSS SOUTHERN AREAS INTO
THE AFTERNOON...THEN SHOULD START TO END EXCEPT ACROSS SE MA
DURING THE AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE...SHOULD BE A DRY DAY WITH SOME
SUN BREAKING OUT ACROSS WESTERN AREAS. CLOUDS APPEAR TO PERSIST
THROUGHOUT THE DAY ALONG THE COAST. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL BE COOL
AGAIN WITH WINDS SHIFTING ONSHORE.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT-THURSDAY...LOOKS LIKE A MAINLY DRY PERIOD WITH WEAK
HIGH PRES RIDGE BETWEEN SYSTEMS. TIMING IS STILL IN
QUESTION...THOUGH. WILL LIKELY SEE PATCHY FOG DEVELOP AGAIN DURING
THE NIGHTTIME AND EARLY MORNING HOURS.

ANOTHER STRONG SHORT WAVE STARTS TO WORK OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES...
DIGGING ANOTHER LONG WAVE TROUGH BUT TO THE W OF THE REGION DURING
THURSDAY. MAY START TO SEE MORE SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS MOVE INTO SW NH
AND THE E SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES AHEAD OF SURFACE FRONT. FOR
NOW...HAVE A DRY AND MILDER FORECAST FOR MOST AREAS ON THURSDAY WITH
HIGHS IN THE 70S.

THURSDAY NIGHT...APPROACHING FRONT MAY STALL W OF THE REGION...SO
ANY SHOWERS/EVENING TSTMS WILL BE CONFINED TO FAR WESTERN AREAS.
MORE PATCHY FOG MAY DEVELOP LATE.  EXPECT OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 50S
TO LOWER 60S.

FRIDAY-SUNDAY...A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY WITH THE TIMING OF APPROACHING
SYSTEMS AS HIGH PRES MAY START TO STALL OVER THE WESTERN ATLC WHILE
A DIGGING TROUGH MAY TRY TO MOVE INTO WESTERN NEW ENGLAND DURING THE
WEEKEND. THIS WILL KEEP A LOT OF CLOUDS AROUND WITH THE CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND AFTERNOON/EVENING TSTMS THROUGH THIS PERIOD. DOES APPEAR
THAT TEMPS WILL RUN CLOSE TO OR A BIT ABOVE NORMAL WITH WINDS
GENERALLY OUT OF THE S-SW. HOWEVER...HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE ON THE
TIMING DURING THIS TIMEFRAME.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MEDIUM...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

THIS EVENING...WIDESPREAD IFR CEILINGS WITH AREAS OF 1-3 MILES
VSBY IN FOG. REMAINING AREAS...MAINLY SOUTHEAST MASS...AT MVFR
CEILINGS.

TONIGHT...INCREASING DEWPOINTS AND GROUND MOISTURE FROM SHOWERS
WILL CONTRIBUTE TO BRINGING CEILINGS DOWN AGAIN TONIGHT. EXPECT
WIDESPREAD IFR AND AREAS OF LIFR. AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND SCATTERED
TSTMS WILL MOVE ACROSS OVERNIGHT.  MEDIUM TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.

TUESDAY...WINDS SHIFT TO SOUTH-SOUTHWEST. EXPECT THE OVERNIGHT
SHOWERS TO MOVE OFF TO THE EAST WITH BRIEF DRYING ALOFT WHICH
SHOULD ALLOW FOR LIFTING AND BREAKING CLOUDS...IMPROVEMENT TO
EITHER MVFR OR VFR. THE EXCEPTION WOUILD BE ALONG THE CAPE AND
ISLANDS AND SOUTH COAST WHERE FOG AND LOW CLOUDS MAY LINGER. THE
BREAKING CLOUDS WILL ALLOW FOR HEATING AWAY FROM THE COAST...WHICH
WOULD GENERATE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...SOME WITH HAIL AND
STRONG WIND GUSTS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS WOULD BE IN THE CT
VALLEY AND SOUTHERN NH...WITH ANY STORMS CAUSING BRIEF PERIODS OF
