AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
703 AM EDT SUN MAR 25 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND TODAY BRINGING SCATTERED SHOWERS TO THE AREA...MAINLY THIS
MORNING. THE LOW EXITS THE REGION TONIGHT WITH A DRIER AIRMASS
OVERSPREADING THE AREA. A DRY COLD FRONT THEN SWINGS THROUGH NEW
ENGLAND MONDAY...FOLLOWED BY COOL AND BLUSTERY WEATHER LATER MON
INTO TUE. ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS NEW ENGLAND
LATER WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS.
DRY AND COOL WEATHER SHOULD RETURN LATE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

7 AM UPDATE...

NOT MUCH CHANGE TO PREVIOUS FORECAST OTHER THAN SPEEDING UP THE
DEPARTURE OF THE MAIN RAIN SHIELD. MAIN RAIN SHIELD CURRENTLY
OVER SOUTHWEST NH AND EASTERN MA. HOWEVER ALL MODEL GUIDANCE
INDICATES DEEP LAYER ASCENT WILL MOVE OFFSHORE BY 15Z. SO AS RADAR
SUGGEST RAIN/SHOWERS WILL BECOME LESS NUMEROUS AS THE MORNING
PROGRESSES AND ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON. SHOWERS MAY BECOME
FOCUSED ALONG THE SOUTH COAST LATER THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON AS
WARM CONVEYOR BELT RAINS ASSOCIATED WITH CLOSED LOW OVER THE MID
ATLC CLIPS SOUTH COASTAL MA AND RI. HOWEVER THE BULK OF THIS
PRECIP SHOULD REMAIN OFFSHORE. SO NOT EXPECTING A WASHOUT BY ANY
MEANS...JUST SOME NUISANCE SHOWERS.

COOLER TODAY THAN YESTERDAY GIVEN THE CLOUD COVER/LIGHT PRECIP AND
ONSHORE FLOW. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW.

4 AM UPDATE...WIDESPREAD SHOWERS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND ARE
PRODUCING AS MUCH AS ONE HUNDREDTH OF AN INCH OF RAIN PER HOUR AND
THIS MAINLY ACROSS THE WESTERN ZONES. THEY ARE HAVING TROUBLE
OVERCOMING LOW LEVEL DRY AIR ACROSS THE EASTERN ZONES. THIS DRY
AIR IS MODELED TO STAY IN PLACE ACROSS THE EASTERN ZONES THROUGH
MUCH OF THE MORNING. SO HAVE KEPT POPS IN THE CHANCE CATEGORY IN
THIS AREA THROUGH MID-MORNING...THEN INCREASING TO LIKELY. AS LOW
PRESSURE PASSES SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND TODAY...IT PRODUCES ENOUGH
LIFT TO CONTINUE SHOWERS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. MODELS ARE
FORECASTING UP TO A QUARTER OF AN INCH OF RAIN...BUT WITH THE LOW
LEVEL DRY AIR EXPECT QPF TO BE A BIT LOWER...GENERALLY UNDER
FIFTEEN HUNDREDTHS.

EASTERLY WINDS WILL AID IN KEEPING TEMPERATURES ON THE COOL
SIDE...AS WELL AS THE CLOUDS AND RAIN. USED A BLEND OF COOLER
GUIDANCE...RESULTING IN HIGH TEMPERATURES RIGHT AROUND 50 DEGREES
WITH TEMPS AS WARM AS 55 WELL INLAND.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
TONIGHT...LOW PRESSURE MOVES WELL OFFSHORE WHILE ANOTHER AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH QUEBEC BRINGING A COLD FRONT SOUTH THROUGH
THE AREA. THIS WILL RESULT IN A WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTH-NORTHWEST.
DRIER AIR MOVES IN BEHIND THE FRONT AS WELL AS COLD AIR ADVECTION.
THIS WILL RESULT IN CLEARING SKIES. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT IS
FAIRLY SLACK THROUGH THE NIGHT BUT TIGHTENS BEHIND THE FRONT.
STRONGER...GUSTIER WINDS SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL SHORTLY AFTER
SUNRISE.

MONDAY...MAIN CONCERN WILL BE FIRE WEATHER. REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH
RAIN FALLS TODAY...AND CURRENT THINKING IS DEFINITELY LESS THAN A
QUARTER OF AN INCH FOR MOST LOCATIONS...CONDITIONS ARE STILL VERY
DRY ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. WHILE TEMPERATURES WILL DROP
MONDAY MUCH LOWER THAN THE RECORD HEAT EXPERIENCED LAST WEEK...
DEWPOINTS ALSO DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.
THIS PUTS THE MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES INTO THE 15 TO 20
PERCENT RANGE. IN ADDITION...STRONG LOW LEVEL WINDS AND A TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT COUPLED WITH EXCELLENT MIXING AND STRONG COLD
ADVECTION WILL RESULT IN STRONG...GUSTY WINDS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. EXPECT SUSTAINED WINDS BLOWING 20 TO
25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 40 MPH. THESE CONDITIONS WILL NEED TO
BE MONITORED FOR POSSIBLE FIRE WEATHER HEADLINES...DEPENDING ON
HOW MUCH RAIN OCCURS TODAY. SEE FIRE WEATHER DISCUSSION BELOW.

TEMPERATURES WILL FALL THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY...WITH HIGH TEMPS
COMING EARLY ON AND FALLING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. HIGHEST
TEMPERATURES WILL BE RIGHT AROUND NORMAL BUT BY THE END OF THE DAY
TEMPS WILL HAVE FALLEN 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. QUITE A
CHANGE FROM THE LAST WEEK.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* COOLER WEATHER WITH TEMPS AT OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL LIKELY
* OTHER THAN A RISK OF SHOWERS LATE WED INTO THU MAINLY DRY
  WEATHER EXPECTED

MODEL PREFERENCES AND SYNOPTIC OVERVIEW...
00Z/25 MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON A MEAN TROUGH OVER SOUTHEAST
CANADA AND THE NORTHWEST ATLC...WITH A MEAN UPSTREAM RIDGE OVER THE
PLAINS INTO CENTRAL CANADA. THE AO AND NAO WILL BE TRENDING TOWARD
NEUTRAL TO SLIGHTLY NEGATIVE...YIELDING A POSITIVE HEIGHT ANOMALY
FROM ICELAND TO NEAR GREENLAND. THIS WILL SUPPORT BELOW NORMAL
HEIGHTS OVER SOUTHEAST CANADA WITH A SUPPRESSED NORTHERN STREAM JET
INTO THE NORTHEAST YIELDING TEMPS AT OR BELOW NORMAL. THIS JET
CONFIGURATION WILL LIKELY PRECLUDE MUCH IF ANY INTERACTION WITH ATLC
MOISTURE. THUS ANY QPF EVENTS THIS PERIOD APPEAR TO BE LIGHT IN
MAGNITUDE. GIVEN GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT THIS PERIOD WILL BASICALLY
FOLLOW AN EVEN BLEND OF THE 00Z/25 NAM/GFS AND THE ECMWF. TEMPS WERE
DERIVED FROM 00Z GMOS AND 18Z HPC GUID. AS EXPECTED THE 30 DAY MOS
BIAS CORRECTED TEMPS WERE TOO WARM GIVEN THE PATTERN CHANGE THIS
PERIOD.

THE DAILY SENSIBLE WEATHER DETAILS...

MON NIGHT THROUGH TUE NIGHT...
ONE OF THE COLDER AIRMASSES TO OVERSPREAD SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND IN
SOME TIME WITH THE CORE OF COLD AIR AROUND -12C AT 925 MB AND 850
MB! GEFS INDICATING THESE VALUES ARE ABOUT -1 TO -2 STD. GIVEN
THE MAGNITUDE OF COLD AIR PREFER THE COLDER METNAM GUID WITH HIGH
TEMPS CONFINED IN THE 40S. ALSO MODEL GUID HAS BEEN TRENDING COLDER.
IN ADDITION A BLUSTERY NNW WIND WILL EXACERBATE THE COOL CONDITIONS
WITH WIND CHILLS IN THE 30S! IN FACT NW WINDS MAY GUST NEAR WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA /SUSTAINED 31 MPH AND-OR GUSTS 46 MPH AND
GREATER/. WINDS DIMINISH TUE NIGHT AS HIGH PRES BUILDS OVER THE
AREA. HOWEVER THE DIMINISHING WINDS WILL PROMOTE RADIATIONAL COOLING
AND SET THE STAGE FOR A COLD NIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE URBAN AREAS
INCLUDING CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS.

WED/THU...
NEXT TROUGH /CLIPPER TYPE LOW/ EXITS THE GREAT LAKES AND TAKES AIM
ON NEW ENGLAND LATER WED INTO THU. NEW GUIDANCE OFFERS CHANCE POPS
ALONG WITH RAW MODEL OUTPUT GENERATING MEASURABLE PRECIP. SO WILL
CONTINUE WITH A RISK OF SHOWERS FROM LATER WED INTO THU. BOTH THE
00Z GFS AND 12Z ECMWF SUGGEST A LOW RISK OF SNOW SHOWERS.

FRI/SAT...
BOTH THE 00Z GFS AND ECMWF AGREE THAT SHORT WAVE TROUGH IMPACTING
THE REGION LATE WED/THU SHOULD BE EAST OF THE REGION BY FRI. THIS
COMBINED WITH MEAN TROUGH AXIS EAST OF NEW ENGLAND SHOULD SUPPORT
DRY AND COOL WEATHER HERE.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MODERATE...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

7 AM UPDATE...

TODAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR CONDITIONS SLOWLY FADE TO
MVFR IN SPOTTY LIGHT SHOWERS. LOW PROBABILITY THAT IFR CONDITIONS
COULD DEVELOP LATE IN THE DAY OVER SOUTHEAST MA.

TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE...WINDS BECOMING NORTH TO NORTHWEST...
INCREASING TOWARD MORNING. MVFR WITH SPOTTY IFR OVER SOUTHEAST MA
WILL IMPROVE TO VFR.

MONDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR. NORTHWEST WINDS SUSTAINED 15 TO 20
KTS WITH GUSTS TO 35 KTS.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF. CONDITIONS LOWERING TO
MVFR THIS MORNING IN DEVELOPING SHOWERS WITH LOW PROBABILITY OF IFR
CIGS/VSBYS.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

MONDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR. NNW WINDS G35 KT LIKELY LATE.

TUESDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR CONDITIONS ALONG WITH A
DIMINISHING WIND.

WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE FOR A PERIOD OF MVFR IN
SHOWERS.

&&

.MARINE...
LOW PRESSURE PASSES SOUTH OF THE WATERS TODAY. THIS WILL INCREASE
WINDS AND SEAS...BUT ONLY MARGINALLY. BELIEVE THAT WE WILL SEE 5
FOOT SEAS ON THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS AND HAVE CONTINUED THE
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY AS SUCH.

TONIGHT...WINDS SHIFT FROM EAST TO NORTH OVERNIGHT BUT SPEEDS
REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT. DIMINISHING SEAS.

MONDAY...WINDS INCREASE MONDAY WITH A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER
THE WATERS. EXPECT SMALL CRAFT NORTHERLY WINDS WITH GALES POSSIBLE
MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HAVE ISSUED A GALE WATCH FOR ALL THE
WATERS FOR THIS TIME PERIOD.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

MON NIGHT AND TUE...NW GALE LIKELY. DRY WEATHER AND GOOD VSBY.

WED/THU...MAINLY LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS AS LOW PRES TRACKS ACROSS
NEW ENGLAND ALONG WITH SCT SHOWERS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL LIKELY MONDAY AS A VERY DRY COLD
AIR MASS MOVES INTO THE AREA. STRONG WINDS LIKELY WITH SUSTAINED
NORTHWEST WINDS 20 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 40 MPH. TEMPERATURES
AND DEWPOINTS BOTH DROP RESULTING IN MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES BETWEEN 15 TO 20 PERCENT.

TUESDAY...NW WINDS 20-30 MPH /HIGHEST OVER CAPE COD/...MIN RH 15-20
PERCENT AND DRY CONDITIONS GIVEN THE LACK OF RECENT RAINFALL. ONLY
POTENTIAL LIMITING FACTOR COULD BE COLD TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S.

&&
