Special Weather Statement, NWS Boston/Norton, MA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
358 PM EDT MON AUG 8 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY.
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BRING DRY WEATHER TONIGHT INTO THE
FIRST PART OF TUESDAY. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SHOULD BRING
SHOWERS LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. MAINLY DRY WEATHER WITH
TEMPERATURES AT OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL SHOULD FOLLOW FOR THE END
OF THE WORK WEEK AND POSSIBLY INTO THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
2 PM MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE UPDATE...WE ARE BEGINNING TO SEE DEEPER
CONVECTION DEVELOP...MAINLY OVER EASTERN MA. AT 2 PM THE STRONGEST
CELL WAS APPROACHING NORTH READING...AND A SPECIAL WEATHER
STATEMENT AND/OR MARINE WEATHER STATEMENT MAY BE NEEDED SOON.
MAIN CONCERN IS HEAVY RAFL BUT LOCALLY STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS STILL
POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST CELLS. BASED ON MESO DATA...THE AREA OF
FOCUS FROM 2 TO 5 PM SEEMS TO BE BVY TO PYM TO TAN TO SFZ TO BED
TO BVY...ALTHOUGH THAT DOES NOT RULE OUT SCT CONVECTION ELSEWHERE.
WE ARE STILL PARTICULARLY WARY OF CELLS FLARING ALONG THE SEA
BREEZE BOUNDARY THIS AFTERNOON.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL BE WORKING THROUGH
THE REGION TODAY. THIS WILL COMBINED WITH 500 TO 1000 J/KG OF
SURFACE BASED CAPE AND PROBABLY BE AIDED BY A SEA BREEZE FRONT
THAT IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS EASTERN MA LATER THIS MORNING
AND AFTERNOON. THERE IS SOME QUESTION AS TO HOW MUCH INSTABILITY
WILL DEVELOP GIVEN THE EXTENSIVE LOW CLOUD SHIELD ACROSS THE
EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE REGION. DO EXPECT TO SEE AT LEAST SOME
PARTIAL SUNSHINE AT LEAST INLAND FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST LATER
THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON.

ALTHOUGH THERE IS UNCERTAINTY ON EXACTLY HOW MUCH SUN OUR REGION
WILL SEE TODAY...MOST MODELS ARE FAIRLY ROBUST IN THEIR QPF FIELDS
ACROSS THE EASTERN SECTIONS.  GIVEN THE HIGH DEWPOINTS IN PLACE IT
PROBABLY WON/T TAKE MUCH TO GENERATE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS.  WHILE THE ENTIRE DAY WILL NOT BE A WASHOUT...MUCH OF
THE REGION MAY SEE A PERIOD OR TWO OF WET WEATHER ESPECIALLY IN THE
EASTERN SECTIONS.  THEREFORE...WILL RUN WITH HIGH CHANCE TO LIKELY
POPS ACROSS MOST AREAS.  THE MODELS SEEM TO BE PINNING EASTERN MA
AND POSSIBLY RHODE ISLAND WHERE THE ACTIVITY WILL BE MOST NUMEROUS.
THIS IS PROBABLY A RESULT OF THE SEA BREEZE FRONT PROVIDING A BETTER
FOCUS FOR THE ACTIVITY.

SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL LOOKS LOW TODAY GIVEN THE MARGINAL CAPES
AND WEAKENING WIND SHEAR ALOFT.  ITS NOT TOTALLY OUT OF OF THE
QUESTION THAT THERE IS A STRONG THUNDERSTORM OR TWO IN THE VICINITY
OF THE SEA BREEZE FRONT. HOWEVER...THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE THE
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL LEADING TO LOCALIZED URBAN AND POOR
DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING...AS WINDS ALOFT WILL BE WEAKENING LEADING
TO SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE ACTIVITY.  THE BEST CHANCE OF THIS WILL BE
ALONG THE SEA BREEZE FRONT WHERE CONVERGENCE WILL BE MAXIMIZED.
WILL HAVE ENHANCED WORDING TO REFLECT THE POTENTIAL OF HEAVY RAIN IN
THE FORECAST.

HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE TRICKY TODAY AND WILL DEPEND ON EXACTLY HOW
MUCH SUN IS SEEN.  WILL GO WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 80S
ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION...TO THE UPPER 70S ALONG THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY THROUGH 6 AM TUESDAY/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD EXIT THE REGION BY EARLY
TO MID EVENING AS THE SHORTWAVE MOVES OFF THE COAST.
OTHERWISE...PARTIAL CLEARING AND THE WET GROUND FROM THE RECENT
RAIN/S WILL ALLOW AREAS OF PATCHY DENSE FOG TO DEVELOP IN THE
TYPICALLY PRONE LOCATIONS.  LOWS SHOULD MAINLY BE IN THE 60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

  * ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WITH UNSETTLED WEATHER AROUND MID WEEK
    AND THEN AGAIN POSSIBLY LATE NEXT WEEKEND
  * HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD BRING A PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER THU INTO
    SAT

MODEL PREFERENCES AND OVERVIEW...
MODELS STILL IN FAIRLY GOOD SYNOPTIC SCALE AGREEMENT ON THE
PATTERN THROUGH THE LONG TERM. WITH WEAK HIGH PRES IN RESPONSE TO
SHORTWAVE RIDGING ALOFT. THE NEXT FEATURE OF NOTE IS A DEEP
LONGWAVE TROF DIGGING TOWARD THE SE FROM ON AND QC. WHILE OVERALL
TIMING OF THE LONGWAVE IS WELL AGREED UPON...THE TIMING OF
SHORTWAVE ENERGY ROTATING THROUGH ITS BASE IS DIFFICULT TO DISCERN
THIS FAR OUT. ATTM...ISENTROPIC LIFT INDUCED BY WAA ON THE
BACKSIDE OF THE EXITING HIGH LOOKS TO BE STRONG ENOUGH LATE IN THE
DAY TUE ACROSS WRN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. ECMWF/GFS/GEFS MEAN ALL IN
REASONABLE AGREEMENT ON THE TIMING OF AN H85 LLJ AROUND 06Z
TIMEFRAME...WHICH WILL LIKELY INITIATE PRECIP IN THE REMAINDER OF
THE CWA BY THIS TIME. THE KEY WILL BE THE ORIENTATION/PLACEMENT OF
A WARM FRONT S OF SNE THROUGH WED. ATTM...ECMWF/GFS/GEFS MEAN NOW
FAVOR LOW PRES DEVELOPING AND MOVING ALONG THE FRONT JUST ALONG S
COAST. GIVEN THE TREND OF RECENT MODEL RUNS SUGGESTING THIS
SCENARIO...TAKING OVER FROM THE COLD FRONT TO THE NW...EXPECT AREA
OF RAIN/EMBEDDED CONVECTION TO CONTINUE INTO THE DAY WED. THE
SECONDARY CONSEQUENCE OF THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT IS TO SLOW THE
SYSTEM...ALLOWING PRECIP TO CONTINUE INTO WED NIGHT.
FINALLY...MODELS STILL AGREE THAT HIGH PRES AND ASSOCIATED RIDGING
DOMINATES LATTER PORTIONS OF THE WORK WEEK. GIVEN THE GENERAL
AGREEMENT BETWEEN OPNL MODELS...A BLEND WILL GENERALLY BE USED FOR
GRIDS.

DETAILS...

TUE...
WEAK HIGH PRES IN RESPONSE TO RIDGING INDUCED BY LONGWAVE TROF
THE THE NW WILL AFFECT THE REGION DURING MUCH OF THE DAY. THE
TRANSITION OCCURS THROUGH THE DAY AS THE HIGH SLIDES TO THE E. WAA
ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE EXITING HIGH WILL LIKELY YIELD ENOUGH LIFT
TO OVERCOME THE WEAK SUBSIDENCE. THEREFORE...EXPECT SOME
-SHRA/TSTM ACTIVITY ESPECIALLY W IN ADVANCE OF THE APPROACHING
WARM FRONT INDUCED BY THE LONGWAVE TROF. MODELS CONTINUE TO SLOW
THIS FRONT...SO WILL LIKELY MAINTAIN THIS TREND. TEMPS WILL LIKELY
BE A BIT WARM WITH H85 TEMPS OF +15C TO BE FULLY REALIZED...AND
INCREASING DWPTS ARE EXPECTED WITH THE EXITING HIGH.

TUE NIGHT THRU WED NIGHT...
WITH MODELS NOW COMING IN LINE WITH LOW PRES DEVELOPMENT ON SRN
TIP OF A COLD FRONT AND RIDING ALONG WARM FRONT ORIENTED ALONG THE
S COAST...EXPECT A PERIOD OF CONVECTIVE -SHRA OVERNIGHT TO DEVELOP
INTO MORE OF AN AREA OF STRATIFORM RAIN AS CYCLOGENESIS INITIATES.
THIS WILL ALSO BE FED BY A SLY LLJ AT H85 MOVING E OVER SRN
PORTIONS OF THE FA. THE KEY WILL BE THE MOVEMENT OF THIS NEW LOW.
WITH THE CURRENT TREND SUGGESTING IT MOVES ALONG THE WARM FRONT TO
THE S...PRECIP WILL LIKELY CONTINUE WITH A WEAK TROWAL SET UP
THROUGH THE DAY. INSTABILITY PARAMETERS ARE MEAGER WITH 5.5C/KM
LAPSE RATES. THE BEST INSTABILITY WILL ALONG THE FRONTAL
CONVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT...SO WRN PORTIONS WILL
BE THE AREA TO WATCH. FOR NOW...EXPECT A CONTINUATION OF -SHRA/-RA
WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME EMBEDDED TSTMS WITH MOD RA INTO WED
NIGHT DUE TO THE SLOW MOVING LOW PRES TO THE S.

THU THRU SAT...
AFTER THE SLOW MOVING LOW PRES EXITS TO THE E...THE LONGWAVE TROF
BEGINS TO SETTLE OVER NEW ENGLAND. COOL AIRMASS AND ASSOCIATED
HIGH PRES WILL YIELD A PERIOD OF DRY BUT ANOMALOUSLY COOL
CONDITIONS THROUGH THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK. H85 TEMPS ARE
PROGGED TO DIP INTO THE UPPER SINGLE DIGITS...SO EVEN WITH FULL
SUNSHINE HIGHS MAY ONLY REACH INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S THU AND
FRI.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MODERATE...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

THROUGH 00Z...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  MAINLY VFR CIGS/VSBYS EXCEPT
LOCAL IFR CIGS/VSBYS IN PATCHY LOW CLOUDS/FOG ACROSS CAPE COD AND
NANTUCKET. SHOULD BRIEFLY IMPROVE TO VFR BY AROUND 20Z ACROSS CAPE
COD AND NANTUCKET AS WELL. SCT SHOWERS DEVELOPING/MOVING ACROSS
REGION MAY LOCALLY REDUCE CIGS/VSBYS TO MVFR-IFR. MAY ALSO SEE ISOLD
TSTMS WITH BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL.

TONIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  EXPECT ANY LEFTOVER SCT SHOWERS TO
END BY 03Z. OTHERWISE...EXPECT MAINLY VFR CIGS/VSBYS THROUGH THE
NIGHT. ONLY PROBLEM WILL BE PATCHY FOG DEVELOPING ALONG S
COAST...CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS. COULD SEE CIGS/VSBYS LOWER TO
MVFR-IFR ESPECIALLY ON THE OUTER CAPE AND THE ISLANDS MAINLY AFTER
06Z.

KBOS TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF. EXPECT CIGS/VSBYS TO
REMAIN VFR THROUGH TONIGHT...BUT MAY LOWER BRIEFLY IF ANY SHOWERS
PASS NEAR OR AT THE TERMINAL.  MAY ALSO SEE PATCHY FOG AFTER 09Z
WITH MVFR-IFR VSBYS POSSIBLE. EXPECT E WINDS TO SLOWLY BACK TO NE-N
BY AROUND 00Z.

TUESDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. MAINLY VFR. LOCAL MVFR-IFR
CIGS/VSBYS THROUGH MIDDAY ALONG S COAST...CAPE COD AND ISLANDS IN
PATCHY FOG. WILL START TO SEE MID CLOUDS INCREASING FROM W-E WITH
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS MOVING INTO WESTERN AREAS AFTER 18Z. MAY
SEE ISOLD TSTMS FROM KAFN-KORH-KIJD WESTWARD.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...

TUE NIGHT THRU WED NIGHT...EXPECTING PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR FOR CIGS
AND VSBYS IN -SHRA/TSTMS AS LOW PRESSURE PASSES S OF THE AREA.
MEDIUM CONFIDENCE.

THU THROUGH SAT...HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY AND TONIGHT...
WILL LET SCA EXPIRE FOR THE OUTER WATERS BY 6 AM AS SEAS SHOULD
GENERALLY BE BELOW 5 FEET BY THEN.  OTHERWISE...WEAK PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL KEEP WINDS AND SEAS BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS THROUGH
TONIGHT.  THE MAIN CONCERN FOR MARINERS WILL BE FOR AREAS OF FOG
SOME OF WHICH WILL BE LOCALLY DENSE THIS MORNING.  VISIBILITIES
SHOULD IMPROVE SOME BY LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON.  A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE TODAY...MAINLY NEAR SHORE.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...

TUE NIGHT THROUGH WED NIGHT...
LOW PRES WILL AFFECT THE WATERS WITH PERIODS OF -SHRA/TSTMS
THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH REDUCED VSBYS LIKELY. SEAS WILL LIKELY
REMAIN BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS...SAVE FOR POSSIBLE 5 FT SEAS ALONG
EXTREME OUTER WATERS. WINDS GENERALLY BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS.

THU AND SAT...
WITH HIGH PRES BUILDING OVER THE WATERS EXPECTING WINDS AND SEAS
TO REMAIN BELOW SCA CRITERIA THROUGH SAT.
