AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
427 PM EDT TUE APR 3 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH DURING WEDNESDAY...THEN HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD SLOWLY SOUTH INTO THE GREAT LAKES BRINGING
DRY...BREEZY AND SEASONABLY COOL WEATHER INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE
WEEKEND.  MODERATING TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY...THEN A
SERIES OF FRONTS MAY BRING SOME SHOWERS EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
4 PM UPDATE...MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES IN PLACE ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND.  VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY HAS A FEW HIGH CLOUDS
STARTING TO MOVE INTO THE WESTERN ZONES AT THIS TIME.  EXPECT THIS
WILL BE ALL IN THE WAY OF CLOUD COVER.

TONIGHT...LOW PRESSURE IN THE MARITIMES BRINGS A COLD FRONT JUST
NORTH OF THE AREA TONIGHT.  THIS WILL INTRODUCE SOME MID AND HIGH
CLOUDS...PARTICULARLY TO THE NORTHERN ZONES.  THERE IS VERY LITTLE
MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT...SO NOT EXPECTING ANY PRECIP
WITH THE FRONT.  TEMPERATURES ARE A BLEND OF MOS.

.SHORT TERM...
WEDNESDAY...UPPER LOW DROPS SOUTH INTO QUEBEC BRINGING CLOUDS TO
MUCH OF NEW ENGLAND.  A COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH THROUGH SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.  WINDS WILL SWITCH BACK TO THE
NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT AND GUST UP TO 25 MPH.

THE MAIN CONCERN FOR WEDNESDAY WILL BE THE ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER
POTENTIAL. TEMPERATURES WILL GET INTO THE UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S.
WITH A LACK OF MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT...WE WILL
CONTINUE TO BE IN A VERY DRY AIRMASS. DEWPOINTS WILL BE IN THE TEENS
AND 20S RESULTING IN RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES IN THE 15 TO 25
PERCENT RANGE. THIS...WHEN COMBINED WITH THE GUSTY WINDS CREATES
THIS ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL. A FIRE WEATHER WATCH HAS BEEN
ISSUED FOR THIS TIME PERIOD.

SEE FIRE WEATHER DISCUSSION BELOW.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT...NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND.  MAY SEE SOME MID LEVEL CLOUDS LINGER THROUGH THE NIGHT.
OTHERWISE A QUIET...COOLER NIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE
LOW TO MID 30S MOST LOCATIONS...UPPER 30S TO AROUND 40 ALONG THE
COAST AND IN URBAN AREAS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* DRY WITH NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS THROUGH SAT
* CHANCE OF SHOWERS EARLY NEXT WEEK

OVERVIEW...
MODELS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT ON A HIGH LATITUDE BLOCKING RIDGE IN THE
NORTH ATLANTIC EAST OF GREENLAND WHICH WILL MAINTAIN A POLAR VORTEX
OVER THE MARITIMES INTO SE CANADA FOR MUCH OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD.
OVERALL...THIS WILL RESULT IN MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS WITH TEMPS NEAR
OR A BIT ABOVE NORMAL.  HOWEVER...THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES THIS
WEEKEND AS ECMWF INDICATES OFFSHORE COASTAL LOW RETROGRADING
BRINGING MORE CLOUDS AND THE THREAT OF SHOWERS WITH COOLER TEMPS...
ESPECIALLY FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND...WHILE GFS KEEPS LOW
PRES WELL OFFSHORE WITH HIGH PRES BUILDING OVER NEW ENG.  WE LEANED
TOWARD GFS SOLUTION WHICH HAS SUPPORT OF MAJORITY OF GUIDANCE
INCLUDING ENSEMBLES BUT CANT COMPLETELY RULE THE COOLER AND MORE
UNSETTLED ECMWF SOLUTION.  SO CONFIDENCE IS BELOW AVERAGE FOR THE
SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND.

THURSDAY INTO SATURDAY...
HIGH PRES OVER CANADA BUILDS SLOWLY S INTO THE GT LAKES WHICH WILL
RESULT IN A DRY NORTHERLY FLOW ACROSS NEW ENG.  EXPECT PT-MOSUNNY
SKIES DURING THE DAY AND MOCLEAR NIGHTS WITH TEMPS CLOSE TO
SEASONABLE NORMS OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL.

SUNDAY...
CONFIDENCE IS BELOW NORMAL DUE TO MODEL SPREAD BETWEEN GFS AND
ECWMF.  CURRENT FORECAST IS BASED ON GFS WHICH MAINTAINS DRY
CONDITIONS AND MILDER TEMPS...BUT STILL HAVE TO CONSIDER THE
POTENTIAL FOR COOLER CONDITIONS WITH THE THREAT OF SHOWERS IF ECMWF
IS CORRECT.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...
GFS AND ECMWF BOTH INDICATE AMPLIFYING MID LEVEL TROF ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST WITH SERIES OF SHORTWAVES ROTATING THROUGH WHICH WILL KEEP
A THREAT OF SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST EARLY NEXT WEEK.  MILDER TEMPS
POSSIBLE MONDAY AHEAD OF ONE SHORTWAVE...THEN COOLING TUE AS TROF
AXIS AND COLD POOL ALOFT SETTLES OVER NEW ENG.

&&

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