Special Weather Statement, NWS Boston/Norton, MA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
734 PM EDT WED JUL 6 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE THROUGH THE REGION OVERNIGHT. SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF
THE FRONT BEFORE DRYING BY MORNING. THE FRONT WILL STALL JUST SOUTH
OF THE REGION THURSDAY WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUING
ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE.  A COASTAL WAVE WILL TRACK ALONG
THE STALLED FRONT AND PASS SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND FRIDAY NIGHT AND
EARLY SATURDAY BRINGING THE CHANCE OF SHOWERY WEATHER.  HIGH
PRESSURE WILL FOLLOW SUNDAY THEN AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL
BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE MONDAY INTO EARLY
TUESDAY.  HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK IN FOR WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
LINE OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH NW MA AND
SRN NH ATTM. EXPECT THAT THESE WILL HOLD TOGETHER INTO CENTRAL MA
THIS EVENING UNTIL AROUND 10 PM...AT WHICH POINT LOSS OF HEATING
WILL LIKELY ALLOW THINGS TO DIE OFF. MADE UPDATES TO POPS AND WX
TO ACCOUNT FOR TIMING.

OTHERWISE...A COLD SHORTWAVE ROTATING THROUGH LONGWAVE TROF OVER
CENTRAL QC WILL SLOWLY DRAG ITS ATTENDANT COLD FRONT THROUGH THE
REGION OVERNIGHT. AIRMASS REASONABLY UNSTABLE OUT AHEAD OF THE
FRONT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL YIELD TSTMS WITH ISOLD SVR
EVENTS LIKELY THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE OVERNIGHT. CURRENTLY
CONVECTION IS FORMING A DISCRETE LINE ALONG THE PRE FRONTAL TROF
THROUGH NRN NY AND VT WITH A FEW ISOLD CELLS IN THE MOST UNSTABLE
AIR THROUGH ALY CWA. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO TRANSLATE TO THE
E...WITH BEST TIME OF ARRIVAL BEING THE EVENING INTO EARLY
OVERNIGHT. WITH REASONABLE CAPE IN THE -10 TO -20C COLUMN...AND
INCREASING WINDS ALOFT...HAIL AND WINDS STILL LOOK TO BE THE
PRIMARY THREAT. DOWNBURSTS UNDER GOOD CORES WILL BE THE THREAT FOR
ISOLATED CELLS...THE DISCRETE LINE MAY BE AN ISSUE IF LLVL JET CAN
TRANSLATE TO THE GROUND IN ANY BOWING SEGMENTS. TRENDED CONVECTION
TIMING TOWARD THE HRRR...WHICH HANDLED THE LINE FORMATION WELL
THIS AFTN.

MODEL SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST SOME WEAK ELEVATED CAPE
ACROSS NRN PORTIONS OF THE REGION WITH MARGINAL SHEAR VALUES OF 35
KTS 0 TO 3KM...AND AROUND 40 KTS 0 TO 6KM. WHILE THERE IS STILL
SOME WARM AIR ALOFT HOLDING MLCAPES AROUND 1000 J/KG...SUSPECT
THAT THIS WILL DWINDLE AFTER SUNSET AND A WEAK LLVL INVERSION
FORMS. ANY ELEVATED CONVECTIVE CELLS WILL LIKELY BE MUCH WEAKER
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS A RESULT AND THE BEST SHEAR MOVES TO
MOSTLY BEHIND THE FRONT. THEREFORE WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH POPS WITH
TSTM/-SHRA OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS UNTIL ITS
MOSTLY DRY TOWARD AROUND SUNRISE. CLOUD COVER...AND LITTLE COOL
AIR BEHIND THE FRONT SUGGESTS ANOTHER WARM AND HUMID NIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
THURSDAY...
THE TIMING AND MOVEMENT OF THE SLOW COULD FRONT IS NOW FALLING
INTO A CONSENSUS BETWEEN MODELS. CURRENTLY IT LOOKS LIKE THE FRONT
WILL BE ORIENTED SW TO NE FROM A NYC TO BOS LINE. FLOW ALOFT IS
NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE FRONT AT THIS POINT...SO SUSPECT IT WILL
SLOW DOWN DURING THE MORNING HOURS AND STALL ALONG THE SE COAST
IN THE AFTERNOON. IN THE NW FLOW TO THE N...INSTABILITY WILL BE
HARD TO COME BY WITH CAA AND DRY AIR PUSHING IN. HOWEVER...CAPE
VALUES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE FRONT WILL BE APPROACHING THE 500
TO 1000 J/KG EVEN WITH MODEST MID LVL LAPSE RATES OF 5.5 TO
6.0C/KM. THEREFORE...WITH A FOCAL POINT FOR LIFT...AND SOME MODEST
CAPE VALUES...SUSPECT ANOTHER ROUND OF DIURNALLY DRIVEN
-SHRA/TSTMS WILL DEVELOP S OF THE MA PIKE. CURRENTLY...BEST SHEAR
LOOKS TO BE N OF THE FRONT...THEREFORE SUSPECT MOST TSTMS WILL BE
SUB SVR...BUT AN ISOLD SVR CANNOT BE RULED OUT. FOR NOW...IT LOOKS
AS THOUGH BEST CHANCE FOR SVR WILL STAY WELL S OF THE REGION.

TEMPS DURING THE DAY WILL BE COOLER THAN PREVIOUS DAYS WITH COOLER
AIR ADVECTING IN TO THE N AND SOME CLOUD COVER EXPECTED OVER SRN
PORTIONS OF THE FA. LEANED TOWARD A COOLER BLEND OF BIAS CORRECTED
MOS GUIDANCE.

THU NIGHT...
A FEW LINGERING -SHRA/TSTMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS SRN PORTIONS OF
THE FA INTO THE OVERNIGHT. CAPE AND SVR INDICES DROP OFF QUICKLY
LATE IN THE EVENING...SO WILL LIKELY SEE A TREND TOWARD DRY AND
CLEARING CONDITIONS BEFORE MIDNIGHT. WEAK RIDGE AND ATTENDANT SFC
HIGH WILL BEGIN TO CREST OVER THE REGION AS WELL. THIS SHOULD
ALLOW THE FRONT TO SAG FAR ENOUGH S OF THE REGION FOR A MOSTLY
DRY...AND EVEN SOMEWHAT CLEAR LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING. WILL
TREND GRIDS TOWARD THIS DRY TREND.

TEMPS WILL BE COOLER OVERNIGHT WITH DRY AND COOL AIR BUILDING IN
COMBINING WITH WEAK FLOW UNDER HIGH PRES. RADIATIVE PROCESSES MAY
BE IN FULL SWING ESPECIALLY IF NRN AREAS GO CLEAR. MOS CONSENSUS
LOOKED REASONABLE...SO USED IT FOR MINS.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...
* CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY
* WARMER AND MAINLY DRY WEATHER SUNDAY INTO MONDAY
* A COLD FRONT BRINGS CHANCE OF MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE
MONDAY INTO TUESDAY

OVERVIEW...
12Z MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IN DECENT AGREEMENT ON OVERALL PATTERN
DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD.  GT LAKES MID LEVEL TROF AMPLIFIES A BIT
AS IT MOVES THROUGH NEW ENG EARLY SAT BEFORE LIFTING OUT.  LARGE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE BUILDS FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS TO THE SOUTHEAST US
THROUGH NEXT WEEK WITH NORTHERN TIER STATES ON THE NORTHERN
PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE.  SHORTWAVES MOVING THROUGH THE WESTERLIES
WILL DELIVER A COLD FRONT TUE WITH MID LEVEL TROF AMPLIFYING AGAIN
EAST OF NEW ENG BY MID WEEK.  NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPS
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY THEN ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS EXPECTED SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY.

FRIDAY...
STALLED BOUNDARY TO THE SOUTH WITH WEAK HIGH PRES OVER THE REGION
WILL RESULT IN LIGHT EASTERLY FLOW WHICH WILL GRADUALLY VEER TO MORE
SOUTHERLY AS THE RIDGE MOVES OFFSHORE.  MODELS DISAGREE ON EXTENT OF
MOISTURE RETURN DURING THE AFTERNOON.  NAM LOOKS TOO SUPPRESSED WITH
MOISTURE AND SUSPECT THERE WILL BE SOME THREAT OF SHOWERS/TSTMS
DURING THE AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY SW ZONES AS DEEPER MOISTURE TRIES
TO RETURN NORTHWARD WITH MARGINAL INSTABILITY DEVELOPING.  WE HAVE
CHC POPS S OF THE PIKE WITH SLIGHT CHC TO THE N.  USED A MAV/MET
BLEND FOR TEMPS...GENERALLY UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S.

INTERESTING EVOLUTION OF EVENTS FRI NIGHT AS SOME OF THE GUIDANCE IS
SUGGESTING A WAVE DEVELOPING ALONG THE STALLED BOUNDARY TO THE S
THEN LIFTING NE AND PASSING S OF THE BENCHMARK.  NAM ACTUALLY IS
GOING WARM CORE WITH THIS SYSTEM BUT WE DISCOUNTED ITS SOLUTION.
THE THREAT OF SHOWERS AND ELEVATED TSTMS WILL CONTINUE INTO FRI
NIGHT AND HAVE HIGHEST POPS CONFINED TO S OF THE PIKE.

SATURDAY...
DEEPER MOISTURE MOVES EWD IN THE MORNING...BUT MID LEVEL TROF IS
FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH BY EARLY AFTERNOON AND MODELS GENERATE
ENOUGH INSTABILITY WITH DECENT TT VALUES AND A THETA-E RIDGE TO
SUPPORT A FEW SHOWERS/TSTMS DEVELOPING...ESPECIALLY INTERIOR SO WE
HAVE CHC POPS.  TEMPS MAINLY UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S.

SUNDAY...
LOOKS DRY AND WARMER AS HEIGHTS RISE AND HIGH PRES BUILDS IN.  850
MB TEMPS WARMING TO NEAR 16C WHICH SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS TO REACH WELL
INTO THE 80S.

MONDAY...
INCREASING SW FLOW AHEAD OF COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE GT LAKES
WILL ADVECT HIGHER DEWPOINTS INTO REGION AND VERY WARM LOW LEVEL
TEMPS AS 850 MB TEMPS WARM TO NEAR 19C.  MAX TEMPS WILL LIKELY REACH
THE LOWER 90S IN THE INTERIOR.  DECENT INSTABILITY AXIS IS FORECAST
TO MOVE IN FROM THE WEST WHICH WILL LEAD TO CHC SHOWERS/TSTMS...
ESPECIALLY INTERIOR AND HAVE CHC POPS.  EXPANDED POPS ACROSS ALL SNE
MON NIGHT AS THE FRONT BEGINS TO MOVE INTO THE REGION FROM THE NW.

TUESDAY...
TIMING IS UNCERTAIN THIS FAR OUT BUT LATEST GUIDANCE SUGGEST FRONT
MOVING THROUGH THE REGION AND PASSING S OF THE COAST BY EVENING.
CONTINUED CHC SHOWERS/TSTMS.  850 MB TEMPS 16-18C SO ANOTHER WARM
DAY WITH TEMPS WELL INTO THE 80S AND MAY SEE A FEW 90+ DEGREE
READINGS DEPENDING ON AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE.

WEDNESDAY...
POST FRONTAL AIRMASS WITH HIGH PRES BUILDING IN SO DRY WEATHER AND
STILL WARM AS AIRMASS NOT THAT COOL BEHIND THE FRONT.  850 MB TEMPS
STILL 13-14C SO MAX TEMPS SHOULD TOP OUT IN THE 80S.

&&

.AVIATION /23Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MODERATE...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

TONIGHT...
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT IS INITIATING TSTMS OVER NW MA WHICH
WILL CONTINUE TO PIVOT TOWARD THE E AND S WITH TIME. SUSPECT THAT
THE BEST CHANCE FOR +TSRA WILL BE OVER TERMINALS W OF ORH...AS
THEY TEND TOWARD THE E THEY WILL DIMINISH TO -SHRA OVERNIGHT.
VFR CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF TSTMS...WITH MVFR AND IFR IN ANY TSTMS.
MEDIUM CONFIDENCE. FOG WILL CONTINUE UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT OVER
KACK...AND OCCASIONALLY AT KHYA AND KFMH.

THURSDAY...
MEDIUM CONFIDENCE VFR. SFC COLD FRONT WILL LIE IN PROXIMITY TO THE
S COAST OF NEW ENGLAND ACTING AS A FOCUS FOR POSSIBLY ADDITIONAL
SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPMENT...THE BETTER CHANCES OF WHICH WILL OCCUR S
OF THE MASS PIKE. LOW CONFIDENCE ON TIMING AND DEVELOPMENT. WILL
SEE VRB FLOW FOR THE S TERMINALS...MORE W/NW THRU THE INTERIOR.
ANTICIPATED FOG OVER THE CAPE/ISLANDS MAY HAVE MORE DIFFICULTY
BURNING OFF DURING THE MORNING HRS DUE TO THE LOCALITY OF THE COLD
FRONT.

THURSDAY NIGHT...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE VFR AT MOST TERMINALS SAVE FOR
LOCALIZED MVFR IN -SHRA/TSTMS S OF THE MA PIKE WHERE A COLD FRONT
WILL SLOWLY SHIFT TOWARD THE S. FOG MAY DEVELOP OVER ISLANDS AGAIN
THU NIGHT.

KBOS TERMINAL...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE. VFR WILL CONTINUE WELL INTO THE
OVERNIGHT AS A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE W. SOME
-SHRA/TSTMS MAY AFFECT THE TERMINAL AFTER 02Z WITH MVFR AND IFR
WITHIN THESE FEATURES...THESE -SHRA/TSTMS SHOULD MOVE OUT AFTER
04Z. VFR IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY. EXPECTING A WIND
SHIFT TO THE WNW INTO THE DAY THU BEHIND THE COLD FROPA LATE
TONIGHT.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...
LOW TO MEDIUM CONFIDENCE.  VFR MOST OF THE TIME...BUT PERIODS OF
MVFR POSSIBLE IN SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS FRI AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY.
ALSO...PERIODS OF IFR ST/FOG POSSIBLE NEAR THE COAST DURING THE LATE
NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING.

SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...
HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR...BUT SCT TSTMS POSSIBLE LATE MON IN THE
INTERIOR WHICH MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY BRIEF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS AND SEAS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS THROUGH THU
NIGHT. A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT MAY ALLOW TSTMS TO DEVELOP OVER THE
ERN WATERS EARLY TONIGHT...AND THEN AGAIN OVER THE SRN WATERS DURING
THE DAY THU. OTHERWISE...AN AREA OF FOG AND STRATUS WILL CONTINUE TO
DIMINISH VSBYS OVER SRN AND SERN WATERS THROUGH TONIGHT.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

MAINLY EASTERLY COMPONENT TO THE WIND FRI INTO SAT BUT SPEEDS BELOW
SCA.  SW FLOW DEVELOPING SUNDAY AND INCREASING A BIT MONDAY AHEAD OF
A COLD FRONT BUT SPEEDS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SCA.  EASTERLY SWELL MAY
BUILD TO 5 FT DURING SAT AND LINGER INTO SUNDAY.
