AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
147 AM EDT SUN APR 8 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN U.S. WILL BRING MAINLY DRY WEATHER
THROUGH THE WEEKEND...ALTHOUGH A SPOT SHOWER OR TWO CANNOT BE
RULED OUT ALONG THE COAST TONIGHT/EARLY SUNDAY. LOW PRESSURE PARKED
OVER NEARBY CANADA WILL KEEP SKIES PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY AND
BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER NEW ENGLAND FROM MONDAY TO THURSDAY.
A FEW SNOW SHOWERS COULD OCCUR IN THE NORTHWESTERN MOST HILLS
AROUND MIDWEEK. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING CLEARING SKIES FRIDAY AND
A WARMING TREND INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
100 AM UPDATE...
MAIN BULK OF THE FORECAST IS STILL ON TRACK. MADE SOME MINOR
UPDATES TO ADJUST FOR CURRENT TRENDS. CLOUDS CONTINUE TO STREAM
INTO THE REGION KEEPING TEMPS FROM RADIATING OUT TONIGHT. HAD TO
UP MIN TEMPS A FEW DEGREES BECAUSE OF THIS. EXPECT LIGHT
PRECIP/DRIZZLE TO BEGIN FALLING OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS ACROSS
THE EASTERN COAST AS RADAR ECHOES ARE BEGINNING TO STRENGTHEN AND
LOW LEVELS ARE STARTING TO MOISTEN. AS TEMPS SLOWLY FALL...A FEW
SNOW FLURRIES IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION ACROSS THE CAPE AND EAST
COAST LINE HOWEVER THINKING THAT THIS IS SOMEWHAT UNLIKELY AS
TEMPS ALONG THE COAST HAVE REMAINED STEADILY IN THE LOWER 40S. EXPECT
VERY LITTLE ACCUMULATION AS MOISTEN COLUMN IS STRUGGLING DOWN
STREAM AS SEEN IN THE TEMP/DEWPOINT SPREAD ALONG THE COAST LINE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
A FEW SHOWERS MAY LINGER OVER THE CAPE DURING THE EARLY MORNING AS
THE SHORTWAVE IS MOVING THROUGH...OTHERWISE DRY WEATHER EXPECTED.
PT-MOSUNNY SKIES SHOULD DEVELOP FROM WEST TO EAST BUT CROSS
SECTIONS INDICATE ENOUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FOR BKN
CU...ESPECIALLY E NEW ENG WHERE MOST CLOUDS ARE LIKELY. USED A
BLEND OF MAV/MET GUIDANCE FOR MAX TEMPS.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...
* MORE CLOUDS THAN SUN THROUGH THURSDAY WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS.
* QUITE WINDY MONDAY WITH ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS.
* A FEW SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE NORTHWEST HILLS ESPECIALLY TUE NIGHT.
* CLEARING FRIDAY AND A WARMING TREND INTO THE WEEKEND.

BIG PICTURE...
GOOD AGREEMENT AMONG THE MODELS WITH VERTICALLY STACKED LOW
PRESSURE PARKED NORTH OF NEW ENGLAND THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE LOW
THEN WEAKENS AND CIRCULATES OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THURSDAY AND
EXITS THE COAST ON FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA
LATER FRI AND SAT BRINGING CLEARING SKIES AND WARMER TEMPERATURES.

SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY... THE COLD POOL OF AIR ASSOCIATED WITH
THE UPPER LOW WILL KEEP THE AIRMASS UNSETTLED. INDIVIDUAL
SHORTWAVES WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FLOW AROUND THE LOW AND GENERATE
SCATTERED SHOWERS...MAINLY OVER THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE REGION.
A FEW SNOW SHOWERS CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN NORTHWESTERN HILLS AS
COLD TEMPERATURES FLOW IN AT 850 MB. BUT WE ARE ONLY TALKING ABOUT
A HUNDREDTH OR TWO OF PRECIPITATION.

THE MAIN STORY WILL BE THE VERY WINDY CONDITIONS LATE MONDAY MORNING
THROUGH EARLY MONDAY EVENING. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL BE DEEPENING
TO 991 MB OVER SOUTHERN QUEBEC AND THE WEST TO SOUTHWEST GRADIENT
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL TIGHTEN. EVEN WITH SIGNIFICANT
CLOUD COVER...SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO REACH WELL INTO
THE 50S TO LOWER 60S...AIDED IN PART BY DOWNSLOPE FLOW. BUFKIT
SOUNDINGS ON BOTH THE NAM AND GFS INDICATE GUSTS TO 30 TO 40 MPH
ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION WITH 45 MPH POSSIBLE IN A FEW
SPOTS...MAINLY MONDAY AFTERNOON. THIS SHOULD MAKE FOR SIGNIFICANTLY
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS AND A FIRE WEATHER WATCH MAY NEED
TO BE ISSUED TOMORROW. MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL BE ON THE
MARGINAL SIDE...FROM 30-40 PERCENT IN EASTERN AREAS BUT SHOULD
FALL TO 25-30 PERCENT IN CONNECTICUT AND WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...MUCH ADO ABOUT THE UPPER LEVEL
LOW TO OUR NORTH...A LOT OF CLOUD COVER...AND COLD POOL
INSTABILITY CREATING SCATTERED SHOWERS. THE GFS MANUFACTURES A
WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT PASSES JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA MONDAY
NIGHT AND IT EVEN HAS SOME LIGHTNING POTENTIAL SOUTH OF NANTUCKET
LATE MONDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER THE NAM HAS THIS FEATURE LATER ON
TUESDAY AND THE ECMWF DOES NOT HAVE IT UNTIL LATE TUESDAY NIGHT.
THERE DOES APPEAR TO BE A BETTER CHANCE FOR SOME SNOW SHOWERS IN
THE NORTHWESTERN HILLS OF MA AND IN THE MONADNOCKS OF SOUTHWESTERN
NH TUESDAY NIGHT BUT LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...CLOUDS AND COLD POOL
INSTABILITY LINGER WITH THE UPPER LOW. THIS WILL MEAN MOSTLY
CLOUDY SKIES AND CHANCE POPS. DURING THE DAY ON THU HAVE INCREASED
POPS TO 40 PERCENT BECAUSE THE UPPER LOW BECOMES SITUATED DIRECTLY
OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. TEMPERATURES BASED ON MAVMOSGUID BIAS
CORRECTED GUIDANCE...MAINLY IN LINE WITH SEASONAL NORMALS.

FRIDAY... CLEARING FINALLY TAKES PLACE AS THE LOW WORKS ITS WAY
OFF THE COAST.

SATURDAY...A SUNNY DAY WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING INTO THE 60S.
EVEN WARMER TEMPERATURES...WITH +17C ALOFT WILL BE LURKING TO OUR
WEST AND COULD MEAN A WARM END TO THE WEEKEND. USED A BLEND ON GFS
AND ECMWF WINDS FOR THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MODERATE...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

OVERVIEW...

TIL 12Z...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS
PREVAILING. A FEW MVFR CIGS ALONG THE EASTERN COAST AND
CAPE/ISLANDS CANNOT BE RULED OUT WITHIN LIGHT RAIN/SNOW SHOWER.

TODAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS. NW WINDS BECOMING MORE
WESTERLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 KTS.

TONIGHT...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS. CANNOT
RULE OUT A FEW MVFR CIGS WITHIN LIGHT SHOWERS. LOW CONFIDENCE ON
EXACT TIMING AND LOCATION.

KBOS TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF. SEA BREEZE EASTERLY
FLOW SHOULD TURN BACK TO THE NORTH BY ABOUT 02Z. DIMINISHING WIND
THIS EVENING. VFR BECOMING MVFR CEILINGS MAINLY BETWEEN 06Z AND
12Z...THEN BACK TO VFR FOR SUNDAY.

MONDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. EXPECT MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS WITH
SOME MVFR CIGS WITHING SHOWERS. LOW CONFIDENCE ON TIMING AND
LOCATION OF CIGS. WESTERLY WINDS WILL BE QUITE STRONG WITH GUSTS
UP TO 30-35 KTS.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY... MODERATE CONFIDENCE. UPPER LOW
PRESSURE WILL REMAIN PARKED TO THE NORTH OF NEW ENGLAND. THIS WILL
BRING MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES...BUT CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN AT
VFR. SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL MOVE THROUGH DURING THE PERIOD...AND
ANY INDIVIDUAL SHOWER WILL BRING BRIEF MVFR CEILINGS/VSBYS AS THEY
PASS. THE GREATEST CHANCES OF MVFR CONDITIONS WILL BE TUE NIGHT IN
NORTHWEST MA/SOUTHWEST NH WITH POSSIBLE SNOW SHOWERS AND AGAIN
ACROSS THE REGION ON THURSDAY WITH MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS THROUGH SUNDAY.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

SUNDAY NIGHT...PRESSURE GRADIENT SHOULD BE WEAK ENOUGH TO KEEP WINDS
AND SEAS BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS. POSSIBLE 5 FOOT SEAS SOUTH AND WEST
OF NANTUCKET.

MONDAY...WEST TO SOUTHWEST GALE FORCE GUSTS OF 35 TO 40 KNOTS ARE
POSSIBLE...MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS. A GALE WATCH MAY BE
ISSUED LATER TONIGHT OR ON SUNDAY FOR THESE CONDITIONS ON MONDAY.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WOULD BE NEEDED FOR THE REMAINING WATERS.
SEAS COULD BUILD TO 8 TO 10 FEET OVER THE SOUTHERN WATERS.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WEAKENS ENOUGH TO
KEEP WINDS MAINLY AT 20 KNOTS OR LOWER. LINGERING 5-6 FOOT SEAS ON
THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS TUE AND WED...SUBSIDING SEAS THU.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THE FULL MOON WILL CAUSE A HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDE OF 12.1 FT IN
BOSTON HARBOR SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. CURRENT TIDE OBSERVATIONS
INDICATE TIDES RUNNING ABOUT 0.4 FT ABOVE THE PREDICTED TIDE. EVEN
IF THIS WERE TO CONTINUE TONIGHT... THAT WOULD ONLY MAKE 12.5 FT
AND WITH LIGHT WINDS AND LOW WAVES IT WOULD LIKELY REQUIRE 13 FT
TO ACHIEVE COASTAL FLOODING...SO NO ADVISORIES ARE BEING ISSUED AT
THIS TIME.

&&

CT...NONE.
MA...NONE.
NH...NONE.
RI...NONE.
