AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
603 PM EDT SUN JUN 3 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ESPECIALLY WEST OF I-495
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. RAIN WILL BECOME WIDESPREAD TONIGHT
INTO TUE ALONG WITH GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS AND COOL
TEMPERATURES...AS LOW PRESSURE INTENSIFIES INTO A GALE CENTER EAST
OF NEW ENGLAND. RAIN WILL BECOME MORE SHOWERY AND DIURNAL MID TO
LATE NEXT WEEK ALONG WITH TEMPERATURES MODERATING SOMEWHAT AS
ONSHORE WINDS DISSIPATE. BELOW NORMAL TEMPS WILL CONTINUE BUT
SOME MODERATION IS EXPECTED BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
SCT -SHRA/TSTMS ARE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING ALONG CONVERGENCE
BOUNDARY/WEAK COOL FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH STRONG UPPER LVL
SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH SRN ONTARIO AND INTO NY THIS HOUR. WHILE
THESE TSTMS HAVE BEEN LOW TOPPED FOR THE AFTERNOON...THE LOW
/AROUND 7-8KFT/ FREEZING LVL HAS ALLOWED FOR A FAIR AMOUNT OF
LIGHTNING AND SMALL HAIL TO BE REPORTED BOTH IN SRN CT AND JUST W
INTO ALBANY CWA. THE OTHER ISSUE WILL BE WINDS IN THE NEXT FEW
HOURS IN ANY OF THESE STORMS. WITH DRY AIR MOVING IN AND A WELL
MIXED BL INVERTED-V SOUNDINGS...THERE IS THE THREAT FOR SOME GUSTY
WINDS WITH ANY STORM THAT DEVELOPS. INDEED...AS A STORM PASSED
OVER BAF LAST HOUR A GUST TO 35 KT WAS REPORTED. E OF 495...THE
AIRMASS IS QUITE STABLE THANKS TO SIGNIFICANT MARINE
INFLUENCE...AND MOST STORMS THAT HAVE APPROACHED HAVE QUICKLY
DIED...HOWEVER THIS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED DURING THE NEXT FEW
HOURS. THE ONE SAVING GRACE IS THAT THESE APPEAR TO BE PRIMARILY
DIURNALLY DRIVEN...SO THESE -SHRA WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH QUICKLY.
OTHERWISE...THE AFOREMENTIONED STRONG SHORT WAVE WILL USHER IN
COOLER AIRMASS DURING THE EVENING AS WELL AS ENHANCE DOWNSTREAM
COASTAL CYCLOGENESIS. WHILE THERE CONTINUE TO BE A FEW DIFFERENCES
ON EXACTLY WHERE THE NEW CYCLONE WILL TAKE OVER...ECMWF CONTINUES
TO BE THE MOST CONSISTENT IN SUGGESTING THAT DEEPENS QUITE RAPIDLY
IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE 40/70 BENCHMARK. HAVE TRENDED GRIDS
TOWARD ITS SOLN GIVEN THAT IT HAS INDEED BEEN THE MOST CONSISTENT
IN THAT REGARD. THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS CHOICE ARE GENERALLY
THREEFOLD...IT WILL INCREASE EASTERLY COMPONENT OF THE WIND...SO
WIND GUSTS AS HIGH AS 30 MPH ARE POSSIBLE TOWARD MORNING. THIS IN
TERN INCREASES COASTAL FLOOD RISK FOR E-SHORES SO HAVE UPDATED TO
COASTAL FLOOD WARNINGS BOTH TONIGHT AND TOMORROW /SEE COASTAL
FLOOD SECTION BELOW/. THE OTHER IS IT WILL ALLOW THE TROWAL
CURRENTLY LOCATED THROUGH MAINE TO BEGIN A GRADUAL SHIFT TO THE
S...INCREASING CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION LATE TONIGHT ESPECIALLY
OVER NRN MA AND SRN. LIKE THE PREV SHIFTS ASSESSMENT FOR LIKELY
POPS BUILDING S INTO THE EARLY MORNING SO HAVE CONTINUED WITH THAT
TREND.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
MON...
SFC LOW PRES WILL BE GRADUALLY STRENGTHENING SE OF THE REGION IN
CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE BENCHMARK. GIVEN THIS FACT EXPECT THAT
WRAP-AROUND WARM CONVEYOR WILL USHER IN WIDESPREAD -SHRA TO STEADY
STRATIFORM RAIN INTO MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. ATTM...IT APPEARS
THAT QPF VALUES WILL BE LIGHT DUE TO THE LOW PRES GRADUALLY
SHIFTING TO THE E WITH TIME...KEEPING US ON THE BACK SIDE. THIS
WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED THOUGH AS LOW TO MID LVL DEFORMATION MAY
ENHANCE A RAIN BAND SOMEWHERE IN THE VICINITY OF SRN NEW ENGLAND.
ALSO EXPECTING ELY 40 KT LLJ TO WRAP AROUND WITH THE WARM CONVEYOR
DURING ESPECIALLY DURING THE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON HOUR BASED
ON PREFERRED ECMWF SOLN. THIS WILL CAUSE GUSTY WINDS WITH 30 MPH
POSSIBLE WITHIN THE I-495 BELTWAY AND CAPE COD. FEEL THAT WITH THE
STRONGEST CORE OF THE JET OFFSHORE...CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN
BELOW WIND ADVISORY LVLS ATTM...BUT THIS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED
FOR TONIGHT/S FORECAST PACKAGE. GIVEN THESE FACTORS EXPECTING A
GENERALLY WET...BREEZY AND COOL DAY.
MON NIGHT...
SFC LOW WILL BE GRADUALLY PIVOTING OFFSHORE...WITH THIS IT WILL BE
CARRYING BEST DEFORMATION/WARM CONVEYOR E OF THE REGION THIS
TIME...THEREFORE HAVE GRADUALLY LOWERED POPS FROM W TO E AS IT
DOES SO. GIVEN THAT THE LOW IS CONTINUING TO DEEPEN EVEN AS IT
SHIFTS TO THE E THE BREEZY CONDITIONS WITH WINDS 20-30 MPH REMAIN
A POSSIBILITY EVEN INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS.
OTHERWISE...THE MAIN THREAT FOR MON NIGHT CONTINUES TO BE THE
ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH TIDE FOR E COASTAL LOCATIONS. A SECOND COASTAL
FLOOD WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED AS A RESULT.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...
*UNSEASONABLY COOL WEATHER THIS WEEK ESPECIALLY TUE/WED
*SHOWERY WEATHER AT TIMES THIS BUT NOT EXPECTING A WASHOUT
DETAILS...
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.
HIGHLY ANOMALOUS OCEAN STORM AND UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE
NORTHEAST WILL RESULT IN UNSEASONABLY COOL TEMPS. PLENTY OF LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE COMBINED WITH THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL RESULT IN
CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS ALONG WITH A FEW SHOWERS A TIMES.
HOWEVER...NOT EXPECTING A WASHOUT SO WILL JUST CARRY SOME CHANCE
POPS. AS FOR TEMPS...EXPECT HIGHS TO ONLY REACH TO AROUND 60 ALONG
THE EASTERN MA COAST TO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S ACROSS THE
INTERIOR.
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. WHILE TEMPS
SHOULD REBOUND A BIT FROM TUE/WED...HIGHS WILL STILL BE BELOW NORMAL
FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. COLD POOL ALOFT WILL PROBABLY BE ENOUGH TO
TRIGGER A FEW DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS...SO WILL CARRY SOME CHANCE
POPS. HOWEVER...NOT EXPECTING A WASHOUT OVER THIS TIME.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE.
THE OPERATIONAL GFS MODEL APPEARS TO BE AN OUTLIER COMPARED TO THE
ECMWF/GFS ENSEMBLES IN LIFTING THE NORTHEAST TROUGH OUT FASTER THAN
THE OTHER MODELS. A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY THIS FAR OUT...BUT LEANING
TOWARDS THE COOLER ECMWF SOLUTION AS TROUGH MAY BE SLOWER TO LIFT
OUT. THEREFORE...WILL KEEP HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 70S. WILL ALSO KEEP
THE FORECAST GENERALLY DRY AT THIS POINT AS HEIGHT FIELDS SHOULD
RISE AT LEAST SOME...LOWERING THE RISK FOR ANY DIURNALLY DRIVEN
SHOWERS.

WITH LOW PRES GRADUALLY DEEPENING OFFSHORE TONIGHT INTO

OUTER WATERS. WIND GUSTS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE TO 25 KT DURING
MUCH OF THE NIGHT TONIGHT BEFORE INCREASING TO AROUND 30-35 KT BY
MORNING AND INTO THE DAY TOMORROW. THEREFORE...HAVE CONTINUED
SMALL CRAFTS FOR MOST OF THE ERN WATERS...BUT THE NOSE OF
STRONGEST WINDS TO 35 KT ARE POSSIBLE ALONG NRN WATERS AND HAVE
ISSUED A GALE WATCH FOR THIS POTENTIAL. OTHERWISE...INCREASING
CHANCE FOR RAIN AND LOWER VISIBILITIES TOWARD MORNING.
S COAST WATERS...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
GIVEN THAT THE LOW PRES WILL GENERALLY E OF THE SRN WATERS WITH NE
FLOW...SEAS WILL NOT HAVE THE CHANCE TO BUILD AS MUCH OVER THE SRN
WATERS. THEREFORE...ONLY EXPECTING SEAS TO BUILD TO AROUND 5-7FT
THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT. HOWEVER...SOME OF THE 25-30 KT WINDS WILL
REACH THE SRN WATERS BY EARLY MORNING. GIVEN THESE TWO FACTORS
HAVE CONTINUES/ISSUED SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ACCORDINGLY.

EXPECTING 12.2 FT AT ITS PEAK AT 1059 PM LOCAL. GIVEN THAT THIS IS

CHANCE FOR MINOR TO MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING AT E COASTAL
LOCATIONS TONIGHT EVEN THOUGH STRONGEST WINDS WILL OCCUR WELL
