AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
355 AM EDT SAT APR 21 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK WARM FRONT WILL SPREAD LOW CLOUDS...A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS AND
PATCHY FOG INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT. THE LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WILL
CLEAR BY MID MORNING SATURDAY ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION...WHICH WILL
PROVIDE ANOTHER DAY OF WARMER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES. A COLD FRONT
WILL INCREASE THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND NIGHT...ESPECIALLY OVER WESTERN NEW ENGLAND. MUCH
NEEDED RAIN WILL ARRIVE SUN NIGHT AND MON ALONG WITH STRONG WINDS
NEAR THE COAST.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
150 AM UPDATE...
CLOUDS CONTINUE TO LOWER AS THEY MOVE ACROSS THE REGION EARLY THIS
MORNING. UPDATED SKY GRIDS TO INCREASE CLOUD COVER OVER A LARGER
AREA THAN PREVIOUSLY FORECAST. NOTED THAT DEWPTS REMAINING LOWER
THAN FORECAST ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS BUT PRETTY CLOSE ALONG S
COAST...THOUGH STILL SEEING WIDE TEMP/DEWPT SPREADS.

BAND OF SHOWERS DEVELOPED ACROSS SE CT THEN EXPANDED TO RI SOUND.
THIS HAS BEEN MOVING ACROSS RI/SE MA SINCE 03Z...SO WILL SEE BRIEF
WIDELY SCT SHOWERS ACROSS E MA THROUGH 08Z OR SO. SOME HAVE BRIEF
HEAVY DOWNPOURS...THOUGH MOST STATIONS WHERE SHOWERS HAVE FALLEN
ONLY RECEIVED TRACE AMOUNTS THROUGH 05Z. OTHERWISE REMAINING DRY
WITH CONTINUED WIDE TEMP/DEWPT SPREADS.

UPDATED REMAINING GRIDS TO BRING CONDITIONS CURRENT AND ADJUSTED FOR
NEAR TERM TRENDS. HAVE ALSO UPDATED VSBY GRIDS TO CUT BACK ON FOG
COVERAGE...BUT STILL EXPECT BRIEF PERIOD OF FOG ALONG S COAST AS
TEMP/DEWPT SPREADS DECREASE.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
EXPECT EVOLVING WARM FRONT TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP WIDELY SCT SHOWERS
OVERNIGHT. VERY SHALLOW LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AVAILABLE AT 05Z...BUT
EXPECT SOME INCREASE AS TEMP/DEWPT SPREADS DECREASE.

ANOTHER MILD NIGHT AHEAD GIVEN THE WARM AIRMASS IN PLACE COMBINED
WITH THE INCREASING DEWPTS AND CLOUD COVER IN THIS WAA PTN.

S-SE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH AS BLYR COOLS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
SATURDAY...
PATCHY FOG AND DRIZZLE EARLY WILL GIVE WAY TO AT LEAST PARTIAL
SUNSHINE BY MID MORNING. CLOUDS MAY LINGER INTO THE EARLY
AFTERNOON OVER THE CAPE AND ISLANDS BEFORE BURNING OFF. WAA PTN
CONTINUES AND A WELL MIXED BLYR COMBINED WITH AT LEAST PARTIAL
SUNSHINE WILL SUPPORT HIGHS ONCE AGAIN IN THE MU70S AWAY FROM THE
SOUTH COAST.

AS FOR PRECIP...SHOWERS WILL LIKELY BE FOCUSED ALONG AND JUST
AHEAD OF THE FRONT OVER WESTERN PORTIONS OF CT/MA AND INTO
SOUTHWEST NH DURING THE AFTN. FARTHER EAST INTO RI AND EASTERN MA
MUCH IF NOT THE ENTIRE DAY SHOULD BE DRY. AS FOR TSTMS...SHOULD BE
ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND SHEAR TO WARRANT ISOLATED OR WIDELY SCT
TSTMS OVER WESTERN AND NORTHWEST SECTION OF CT/MA AND INTO
SOUTHWEST NH DURING THE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER NOT EXPECTING ANY
STRONG TSTM GIVEN MUCAPE REMAINING LESS THAN 1000J/KG...MARGINAL
DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND MLVL LAPSE RATES OF ONLY 6C/KM. THUS SHOULD
PRECLUDE ROBUST UPDRAFTS.

ANOTHER BREEZY DAY WITH SSW WINDS INCREASING TO 15-20 MPH DURING
THE AFTERNOON.

SATURDAY NIGHT...
COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA AND THEN STALLS. THIS SHOULD ACT AS A
FOCUS FOR SHOWERS. HOWEVER AREAL COVERAGE MAY BE LIMITED GIVEN WEAK
INSTABILITY ALOFT AND SHORT WAVE TROUGH SHEARING OUT. THEREFORE
UNDERCUT MOS POPS A BIT.

TEMPS WILL BE A BIT TRICKY DEPENDING ON HOW FAR SE FRONT SETTLES.
MILD CONDITIONS MOST LIKELY OVER SE MA WHERE FRONT WILL LIKELY
STALL. PATCHY FOG MOST LIKELY ACROSS THIS AREA AS WELL. FARTHER
TO THE NORTHWEST COOL SIDE OF THE BOUNDARY COMBINED WITH NNE FLOW
SHOULD PROVIDED COOLER TEMPS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...
 * RAIN AND STRONG WINDS SUN NIGHT INTO MON
 * SCATTERED SHOWERS POSSIBLE INTO MIDWEEK

DETAILS...
MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON EVOLUTION OF LARGER SCALE
FEATURES SUN NIGHT AND MON...AS CUTOFF UPPER LOW FORMS OVER OH
VALLEY AND SLOWLY PIVOTS AROUND MID ATLANTIC REGION INTO WESTERN
NY. TREND ON 00Z MODELS HAS BEEN FOR A MORE INLAND TRACK OF
SURFACE LOW...EITHER OVER EASTERN NY OR WESTERN NEW ENGLAND AS IT
BECOMES CAPTURED BY UPPER LOW.

ALL INGREDIENTS ARE COMING TOGETHER FOR HEAVY RAIN SUN NIGHT AND
MON. ANOMALOUSLY STRONG 850 MB SOUTHERLY JET /+4 TO +5 SD/ IS
EXPECTED TO TRANSPORT DEEP PLUME OF MOISTURE NORTHWARD WITH
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REACHING 1.50 INCHES...WHICH IS NEAR
99TH PERCENTILE FOR LATE APRIL. DECENT MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS AND
STRONG LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE SHOULD PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LIFT AND
PROMOTE EFFICIENT RAIN PROCESS AS WELL. STILL TOUGH TO PINPOINT
WHERE HEAVIEST RAINFALL WILL SET UP...BUT WITH LOW LEVEL SE FLOW
WE WOULD EXPECT THIS TO BE ACROSS INTERIOR...ESPECIALLY ON E
FACING SLOPES OF BERKSHIRES AND WORCESTER HILLS.

FORECAST CONTINUES TO SHOW RAINFALL TOTALS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES OVER
MOST OF AREA...WITH 1 TO 2 INCHES NEAR CAPE COD AND ISLANDS. STILL
HAVE A LOW PROBABILITY OF SPOT 4 INCH TOTALS. SEE HYDRO SECTION
BELOW FOR POTENTIAL IMPACTS.

IN ADDITION TO RAIN...WE ALSO HAVE TO CONSIDER WIND IMPACTS WITH
THIS SYSTEM. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW VERY STRONG SE LOW LEVEL JET
MOVING THROUGH SE NEW ENGLAND EARLY MON MORNING...ON ORDER OF
55-65KT IN LOWEST FEW THOUSAND FEET. WHILE STRONG INVERSION WILL
PREVENT THESE WINDS FROM MIXING TO SURFACE...MOMENTUM SHOULD BE
ABLE TO YIELD GUSTS OF AT LEAST 40KT.

LOCAL HIGH WIND CLIMATOLOGY IS LIMITED FOR SE FLOW EVENTS. HOWEVER
FAVORABLE FACTORS INCLUDE 925 MB WINDS OF 75KT...LOW LEVEL LAPSE
RATES OF -2C/KM AND GOOD PRESSURE FALLS /9 MB IN 6HR/. SINCE IT IS
NORMALLY DIFFICULT TO GET HIGH WINDS IN SE FLOW DECIDED AGAINST
ANY HIGH WIND WATCHES FOR SOUTHERN RI AND SE MA FOR NOW...THINKING
WE WILL SEE WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA /45 TO 50 MPH/ INSTEAD.

UPPER LOW REMAINS TO OUR W TUE...KEEPING US IN BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW
WHICH SHOULD PRODUCE DIURNAL CLOUDS AND SCATTERED SHOWERS...
ESPECIALLY ACROSS INTERIOR. MODELS BEGIN TO LIFT TROUGH OUT OF
EAST WED BUT THIS MAY BE A LITTLE FAST. PATTERN REMAINS UNSETTLED
THROUGH END OF WEEK AND LENDS LOW CONFIDENCE...BUT SEEMS TO FAVOR
NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND PERHAPS A FEW SHOWERS THU.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MODERATE...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

THROUGH 12Z...MAINLY MVFR CIGS/VFR VSBYS. PATCHY FOG AND IFR VSBYS
AFTER 08Z MAINLY ACROSS NE CT/RI/E MA THOUGH MAY BRIEFLY DEVELOP
ACROSS INLAND AREAS MAINLY NEAR AND S OF THE MASS PIKE PRIOR TO
SUNRISE. HIGH CONFIDENCE ON TRENDS BUT LOWER ON EXACT TIMING AND
AREAL COVERAGE OF IFR CONDITIONS.

TODAY...MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS EARLY IN LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG
IMPROVE TO VFR BY 14-15Z MOST TERMINALS. CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS
MAY BE DELAYED UNTIL 17Z-18Z. MAY SEE LOCAL MVFR VSBYS ALONG S COAST
AFTER 21Z. FROM KORH WESTWARD SHOWERS BECOME NUMEROUS AFT 18Z ALONG
WITH ISOLATED TSTM AND MVFR CONDITIONS. MAINLY DRY WEATHER SHOULD
PREVAIL OVER EASTERN MA AND RI MUCH IF NOT THE ENTIRE DAY. FORECAST
CONFIDENCE IS HIGH ON TRENDS BUT LOWER ON EXACT TIMING.

TONIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. EXPECT MVFR CIGS TO LOWER TO IFR FOR
MOST AREAS AFTER MIDNIGHT. VSBYS SHOULD REMAIN MVFR IN SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND PATCHY FOG EXCEPT IFR-LIFR ACROSS S RI/SE MA.

KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE THROUGH THIS EVENING. MVFR CIGS WITH
BRIEF LIFR CIGS/IFR VSBYS THROUGH 13Z-14Z...THEN VFR INTO THIS
EVENING. MODERATE CONFIDENCE FOR TONIGHT. CIGS LOWER TO LIFR WITH
PATCHY MVFR VSBYS IN FOG.

SUNDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. EXPECT PERIODS OF MVFR-LIFR IN
SHOWERS.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SUN NIGHT...IFR/LIFR IN RAIN AND FOG. STRONG E/SE WINDS NEAR
COAST. HIGH CONFIDENCE.
MON...IFR/MVFR IN SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY IN MORNING. STRONG E/SE
WINDS NEAR COAST. HIGH CONFIDENCE.
TUE AND WED...MVFR POSSIBLE IN SCATTERED SHOWERS. MODERATE
CONFIDENCE.

.MARINE...
OVERNIGHT...
NOTED SEAS UP TO 5 FT SINCE AROUND 01Z AT BUOY 44097 AS WELL AS
FORECASTED SEAS UP TO 5 FT ON THE REMAINING OUTER WATERS. HOISTED
SMALL CRAFT FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS.

WEAK WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH FROM THE NY AND NJ WATERS YIELDING
PATCHY FOG AND DRIZZLE SECOND HALF OF THE NIGHT.

SAT...
WARM FRONT LIFTS NE OF THE WATERS WITH PATCHY FOG/DRIZZLE
IMPROVING DURING THE MORNING...PERHAPS LINGERING INTO THE EARLY
AFTERNOON. SSW WINDS 15-20 KT AHEAD OF APPROACHING COLD FRONT.

SAT NIGHT...
COLD FRONT ENTERS THE WATERS AND THEN STALLS. SCATTERED
SHOWERS/PATCHY FOG AND DRIZZLE EXPECTED.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

GALE WATCH HAS BEEN POSTED FOR ALL WATERS LATE SUN NIGHT INTO MON
AS DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE TRACKS OVER WESTERN NEW ENGLAND.
CONFIDENCE IS HIGH ON 35-45KT GUSTS BUT THERE IS ALSO LOW
PROBABILITY OF SEEING STORM FORCE WINDS /NEAR 50KT/ ON WATERS
AROUND CAPE COD AND ISLANDS AROUND SUNRISE MON.

ANOTHER ROUND OF GALES /SW/ POSSIBLE ON S COASTAL WATERS TUE AS
BROAD LOW PRESSURE REMAINS W OF REGION. WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD
DIMINISH BELOW SCA WED.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
SATURDAY...MIN RH VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO BE HIGHER THAN TODAY...
GENERALLY 30 TO 40 PERCENT ACROSS CENTRAL MA...INTERIOR EASTERN MA
AND SW NH. ELSEWHERE RH WILL BE HIGHER. EXPECTING SW WINDS AROUND
15 MPH WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 20 AND 25 MPH STILL POSSIBLE. MEASURABLE
RAIN IS NOT EXPECTED UNTIL QUITE LATE IN THE DAY ALONG AND WEST OF
THE CT RIVER VALLEY. THUS...FUEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN VERY LOW
WITH ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE MUCH OF THE DAY.
AFTER COLLABORATING WITH FIRE OFFICIALS FROM MA AND NH WILL
CONTINUE WITH A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT TO INCREASE PUBLIC
AWARENESS ON ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS.

MUCH NEEDED SOAKING RAIN ARRIVES SUN AND LASTS INTO MON. SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND HIGHER HUMIDITY VALUES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH AT LEAST
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
RAINFALL TOTALS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY INTO MONDAY
WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS FAVORED ON EAST FACING SLOPES OF
BERKSHIRES AND WORCESTER HILLS. TOTALS SHOULD BE LOWER ON CAPE COD
AND ISLANDS BUT EVEN THERE 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN SHOULD FALL.

SINCE IT HAS BEEN SO DRY...THIS AMOUNT OF RAINFALL IS NOT EXPECTED
TO RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT FLOODING OF RIVERS AND STREAMS. HOWEVER
SOME OF THE SMALLER AND FASTER RESPONDING RIVERS COULD GO INTO
MINOR FLOOD IF RAINFALL TOTALS REACH 3 TO 4 INCHES OVER A LARGE
AREA. CERTAINLY WE DO EXPECT MINOR URBAN FLOODING TO BE AN ISSUE
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
SURGE OF 1 TO 1 1/2 FT IS EXPECTED MON WHICH WOULD NOT BE ENOUGH
TO RESULT IN MINOR COASTAL FLOODING. ALTHOUGH TIDES ARE
ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH DUE TO NEW MOON...WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE A
SURGE OF 2 TO 3 FT WHICH IS NOT LIKELY.

ALONG S COAST...STRONGEST WINDS SHOULD ARRIVE A FEW HOURS PRIOR TO
HIGH TIDE MON MORNING. THIS WOULD BE MAIN AREA OF CONCERN FOR
MINOR FLOODING SHOULD STRONGER WINDS BE DELAYED A FEW HOURS.

ALONG E COAST...HIGH TIDE DOES NOT OCCUR UNTIL EARLY AFTERNOON AND
BY THEN STRONGEST WINDS SHOULD HAVE PASSED OFFSHORE.
