AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
409 AM EDT MON SEP 17 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRES WILL BRING DRY AND SEASONABLY WARM WEATHER TODAY. A
STRONG COLD FRONT WILL BRING SHOWERS...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS...
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS WITH THE BRUNT OF
THE STORMY WEATHER OCCURRING TUE NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY.
QUIETER WEATHER RETURNS LATER IN THE WEEK...WITH SHOWERS LINGERING
ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS POSSIBLY THROUGH THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 PM THIS EVENING/...

4 AM UPDATE...

RIDGING AND ASSOCIATED DRY AIRMASS HOLDS ON ACROSS NEW ENGLAND FOR
ONE MORE DAY.  AFTER A CHILLY START THIS MORNING LOW LEVEL WARM AIR
ADVECTION COMMENCES THIS AFTN AS SURFACE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE AND
RETURN FLOW BECOMES ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE AREA.  THIS COMBINED WITH
PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS WILL YIELD WARMER TEMPERATURES
THAN SUNDAY. HIGHS THIS AFTERNOON WELL INTO THE 70S AWAY FROM THE
COASTLINE WHERE AFTN SEABREEZES WILL DEVELOP.

EARLY MORNING PATCHY FOG FROM RADIATIONAL COOLING OVERNIGHT WILL BURN
OFF FAIRLY QUICKLY AFTER SUNRISE TO YIELD MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.
HOWEVER SUNSHINE MAY FADE THIS AFTN BEHIND JET INDUCED CIRRUS
LIFTING NORTH FROM THE MID ATLC REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /7 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
TONIGHT...
MOST OF THE NIGHT WILL BE DRY BUT TOWARD DAYBREAK GOOD MODEL
AGREEMENT THAT RAIN CURRENTLY OVER THE GULF STATES AND LWR MS VLY
WILL ENTER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. GFS ON THE FAST EDGE OF THE GUID
REGARDING TIMING OF PRECIP...BUT REMAINDER OF GUID NOT TOO FAR
BEHIND INCLUDING THE 00Z EC AND 03Z SREF. NOT AS COOL AS PREVIOUS
NIGHTS WITH WIND OFF THE OCEAN AND RISING DEW PTS.

TUE...
SOUTHERN AND NORTHER STREAM ENERGY MERGE/PHASE OVER THE OH VLY WITH
SURFACE WAVE DEVELOPING ON FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES. SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH ATTENDING WARM FRONT WILL OVERSPREAD
THE REGION TUE WITH HIGHEST POPS ACROSS WESTERN NEW ENGLAND. NOT
MUCH RAIN EXPECTED ACROSS EASTERN MA AS DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND
FORCING FOR ASCENT ARE LIMITED ACROSS THIS AREA.  HEAVIEST RAIN
APPEARS TO OCCUR LATER TUE NIGHT ALONG AND AHEAD OF APPROACHING
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT ON TIMING OF PRECIP AND POPS.
OUR POPS ARE BASICALLY A MODEL BLEND OF EC/GFS/NAM AND SREF.

IT WILL BECOME WARM AND HUMID DURING THE AFTN AS WARM SECTOR
OVERSPREADS THE REGION. ALSO WINDS WILL PICKUP AS LOW LEVEL JET
DEVELOPS AHEAD OF APPROACHING FRONT. COULD SEE SOUTH WINDS GUSTS UP
TO 40 MPH TUE AFTN. WE MAY NEED A WIND ADVISORY FOR TUE AS THE EVENT
DRAWS CLOSER.  REMOVED THUNDER FROM TUE FORECAST AS BEST INSTABILITY
AND FORCING FOR ASCENT APPEARS TO WAIT UNTIL TUE NIGHT INTO WED AM.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...
   * COLD FRONT BRINGS HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY S WINDS TUE INTO WED
   * SHOWERS MAY LINGER ACROSS SE MASS THROUGH THURSDAY
   * LOW CHANCE FOR SHOWERS DURING NEXT WEEKEND

OVERVIEW...

MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT ON OVERALL UPPER LEVEL PATTERN
ASSOCIATED WITH GREAT LAKES TROUGH. TIMING ON FRONTAL PASSAGE ON 00Z
MODEL SET IS COMPARABLE...INDICATING COLD FRONT MAY MOVE THROUGH
MUCH OF OUR CWA DURING TUESDAY NIGHT...OFFSHORE WEDNESDAY MORNING OR
AFTERNOON.  ECMWF CONTINUES TO STALL FRONT CLOSE ENOUGH TO INFLUENCE
WEATHER ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS DURING THU AND FRI.  LATEST
SREF...AND GFS NOW INDICATE FRONT MAY ALSO LINGER CLOSE ENOUGH
PROVIDE SOME IMPACT. MODELS THEN DIFFER SUBSTANTIALLY FOR SAT THRU
SUN...AS TO WHETHER A SECOND COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH THE AREA FROM
THE WEST.  CONFIDENCE ON THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS FOR THIS
FORECAST PACKAGE IS LOW. WILL KEEP TO A BLEND OF HPC AND PREVIOUS.

TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...

LOW PRESSURE IN SOUTHEASTERN QUEBEC MOVES RAPIDLY NORTHWARD TUE
NIGHT WITH ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT TRACKING THROUGH MUCH OF SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND FROM W TO E.  MODEL CONSENSUS IS NOW SLIGHTLY
FASTER...BRINGNIG COLD FRONT THROUGH EASTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE AREA
BY 12Z WED...TO THE CAPE AND ISLANDS BY 18Z AND THEN BRINGING IT E
OF THE CAPE AND ISLANDS BY 00Z THU. TUE NIGHT CONTINUING CATEGORICAL
POPS AS THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL LIFT AHEAD OF AND ALONG THE
FRONT...PWATS JUMP TO 2 INCHES AHEAD OF AND ALONG THE FRONT...AND
STRONG SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET IS OVER THE AREA.  H925 WINDS
SOUTHERLY AT 50 TO 60 KTS OVER EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA TUE NIGHT.
POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...OVERALL QPF LOOKS NOW TO BE 1
TO 3 INCHES. HEAVIEST RAINFALL SHOULD BE TUESDAY NIGHT...DROPPING
OFF DURING THE DAY WED ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING. GIVEN MOIST
ADIABATIC SOUNDINGS...LIS GOING BELOW ZERO FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND
STRONG OMEGA ALONG THE FRONT HAVE INCLUDED POTENTIAL FOR
THUNDERSTORMS IN FORECAST WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE.

WITH THE STRONG LOW LEVEL JET TUESDAY NIGHT...GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS
WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN.  AT THIS POINT...AM NOT FORECASTING ADVISORY
LEVEL WINDS...BUT THEY REMAIN A POSSIBILITY IF MIXING IS STRONG
ENOUGH TO BRING THOSE HIGHER WINDS TO THE SURFACE. THUNDERSTORMS
COULD ALSO MIX SOME OF THE STRONGER WINDS TO THE SURFACE.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THERE CONTINUES TO BE SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH
RESPECT TO THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE...THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL
OUT BUT QUESTION IS HOW CLOSE IS IT TO OUR FAR SOUTHEASTERN ZONES
AND WILL IT KEEP CLOUDS AND SCATTERED SHOWERS IN OUR VICINITY/FAR
EASTERN ZONES.  GFS NOW HAS TRENDED TO CLOSE ENOUGH AGREEMENT WITH THE
ECMWF TO HAVE A HIGHER CONFIDENCE TO GO WITH CHANCE POPS AND MOSTLY
CLOUDY NEAR AND OVER THE CAPE AND ISLANDS THURSDAY...DRIER AND MORE
SUNSHINE IN THE INTERIOR. FOR THIS PACKAGE WENT ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE
POP ON CAPE AND ISLANDS FOR FRI. SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...STILL A LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST WITH SOME
UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER A FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA.
KEEPING SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS.

COAST.VFR TO START TONIGHT BUT LOWERING TO MVFR IN PATCHY FOG
TOWARD MORNING ACROSS THE INTERIOR. MVFR WILL OVERSPREAD THE

WINDS AND SEAS EXPECTED TO BE BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS FRIDAY.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
VERY SIGNIFICANT LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FETCH DEVELOPS TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY AND ANTICIPATING A 1 TO 1.5 FOOT STORM SURGE TO DEVELOP
ALONG SOUTH COAST LOCATIONS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. SINCE THE
ASTRONOMICAL TIDES ARE RELATIVELY HIGH DURING THE SAME TIME
PERIOD...MINOR COASTAL FLOODING IS A RISK ALONG SOUTH COAST
LOCATIONS DURING THE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING HIGH TIDES.
INCREASING WAVE ACTION FROM THE SOUTHERLY FETCH COULD PRESENT
SIGNIFICANT SPLASH OVER ISSUES ALONG THE MORE EXPOSED RI AND MA
SOUTH COASTS FROM WESTERLY TO FAIRHAVEN.
