AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
132 PM EDT SAT APR 28 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRES OVER THE MARITIMES AND HIGH PRES OVER THE GREAT LAKES
WILL COMBINE TO BRING DRY AND COOL WEATHER THROUGH MONDAY. THE
WEATHER PATTERN WILL BECOME MORE SPRING-LIKE NEXT WEEK WITH
MODERATING TEMPERATURES ALONG WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS FROM TIME
TO TIME...ESPECIALLY TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1 PM UPDATE...
ADJUSTED SKIES/TEMPS/DWPTS THIS UPDATE. DRY COLUMN BUILDING OVER AS
WEAK SHORTWAVES APPROACHES FROM THE W AND NW. THIS WILL ALLOW THE
DRYING CI TO BUILD OVER A BIT MORE TOWARD THE EVENING...BUT SHOULD
SEE SOME RAPID CLEARING AFTER MIDNIGHT. GENERALLY COOLER WX
CONTINUES FOR LATE APRIL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
UPPER SHORT WAVE EMBEDDED IN NORTHERN STREAM NW FLOW WILL HELP
KEEP THE WAVE PASS THRU THE MID ATLC REGION SOUTH OF THIS FORECAST
AREA. REMAIN QUITE CONFIDENT THAT ANY PCPN WILL STAY S OF FORECAST
AREA. SLIGHT CHANCE POPS MIGHT GRAZE ACK FOR A FEW HOURS
TONIGHT...OTHERWISE VERY LOW POPS THRU 00Z MON. MORE FREEZING
TEMPS EXPECTED TONIGHT. DECIDED TO ADD A WATCH HEADLINE TO THE
STATEMENT TO HIGHLIGHT THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER NIGHT OF FREEZING
TEMPS. ACROSS THE INTERIOR...WINDS SHOULD DECOUPLE MORE EASILY
TONIGHT THAN EARLY THIS MORNING TO ENHANCE RADIATIONAL COOLING.
HAVE EXTENDED THE WATCH FOR THE CAPE AND MARTHAS VINEYARD.
INCLINED TO THINK THAT THE MID/HIGH CLOUDS WILL MOVE OUT IN TIME
FOR TEMPS TO DROP TO OR A LITTLE BELOW FREEZING ACROSS INTERIOR
SECTIONS OF THE UPPER CAPE AND MARTHAS VINEYARD. NOTE THAT H85
TEMPS DROP TO -5C TO -7C TONIGHT.

SUNDAY SHOULD BE SUNNY AGAIN AND REMAIN ON THE COOL SIDE. WINDS
SHOULD BE LIGHT AS HIGH PRES BUILDS INTO THE REGION FROM THE GREAT
LAKES. EXPECT HIGH TEMPS AGAIN TO REACH THE MID 50S ACROSS MOST
LOCATIONS BUT REMAIN IN THE LOWER 50S ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN IN
THE NORTH.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* MODERATING TEMPERATURES NEXT WEEK
* GREATEST CHANCE FOR RAIN CENTERED ON TUE/TUE NIGHT

SYNOPTIC OVERVIEW...
00Z DETERMINISTIC MODELS AND 12Z ENSEMBLES /BOTH GEFS AND ECENS/
CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A PATTERN CHANGE NEXT WEEK...GOING FROM THE
CURRENT AMPLIFIED FLOW TO A MORE ZONAL REGIME ACROSS THE CONUS. THIS
WILL RESULT IN MODERATING TEMPERATURES FROM TUE ONWARD. SO FORECAST
CONFIDENCE IS HIGH REGARDING A WARMING TREND NEXT WEEK BUT THEN
UNCERTAINTY INCREASES ON THE EXACT DETAILS AS NORTHERN STREAM JET IS
LIKELY TO REMAIN ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES INTO NEW ENGLAND. THUS A
STORM TRACK OVER OR NEAR THE REGION WILL RESULT IN ASSOCIATED
FRONTAL BOUNDARIES TRACKING ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THIS WILL
PROVIDE A CHALLENGING TEMP FORECAST ESPECIALLY TIMING THE FRONTAL
PASSAGES.  HOWEVER THE ZONAL FLOW PATTERN WILL PRECLUDE ANY COLD AIR
INTRUSIONS INTO THE NORTHEAST AND THUS GIVES ABOVE AVERAGE
CONFIDENCE THAT TEMPERATURES WILL AVERAGE NEAR OR ABOVE NORMAL MUCH
OF NEXT WEEK.

AS FOR PRECIP...EMERGING ZONAL FLOW PATTERN NEXT WEEK WILL PROVIDE
SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRECIP AS MULTIPLE PACIFIC SYSTEMS MARCH
ACROSS THE COUNTRY. HOWEVER GIVEN THE LACK OF FLOW AMPLITUDE AND
STREAMS BEING UNPHASED ONLY MINOR QPF EVENTS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND NEXT WEEK.

MODEL PREFERENCES...
REGARDING QPF 00Z MODELS INCLUDING THE 00Z ENSEMBLES OF THE GEFS AND
12Z ECENS AGREE ON BEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS THIS FORECAST PERIOD
CENTERED AROUND TUE AS FRONTAL WAVE EXITS THE GREAT LAKES. THEREFORE
WILL FOCUS POPS ON TUE/TUE EVENING. THEREAFTER PREDICTABILITY
DECREASES ON THE TIMING OF INDIVIDUAL SHORT WAVES IN THE EVOLVING
FAST ZONAL FLOW. SO WHILE THERE IS A RISK FOR ADDITIONAL SHOWERS
LATER IN THE WEEK...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS VERY LOW ON TIMING
DETAILS.  AS SUCH WE UNDERCUT CHC MOS POPS TO SLIGHT CHANCE GIVEN
THIS UNCERTAINTY. IN ADDITION DON/T WANT CHANCE POPS THROUGHOUT THE
WEEK TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION OF A WASHOUT.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON TIMING OF
FRONTAL PASSAGES SO DIDN/T DEVIATE MUCH FROM GUID. REGARDING TEMP
TRENDS BOTH THE GEFS AND ECENS SUGGEST THE WARMEST CONDITIONS MAY
OCCUR HERE THU/FRI AS WESTERN TROUGH AMPLIFIES SO DOES DOWNSTREAM
RIDGE OVER THE EAST COAST. HIGHS IN THE 70S ARE LIKELY THU/FRI WITH
A LOW PROB OF NEAR 80.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MODERATE...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

OVERVIEW...

HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR. EXPECT INCREASING MID AND HIGH CLOUDS
PARTICULARLY OVER TAF SITES S OF THE MASS PIKE INTO THE EARLY
OVERNIGHT HOURS...BUT SHOULD REMAIN VFR. ISOLATED CHANCE OF LOW
VFR/MVFR AT ACK IN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS THIS EVENING INTO
THROUGH MIDNIGHT.  VFR CONTINUES TOMORROW.

WNW WINDS CONTINUE TODAY WITH GUSTS 20 TO 25 KT POSSIBLE...HOWEVER
THEY SHOULD DIMINISH ESPECIALLY OVER THE INTERIOR WITH NEAR CALM
WINDS LIKELY.  NW WINDS INCREASE AGAIN SUN WITH GUSTS TO 25 KT.

KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF...AND FOR VFR. SOME MID CLOUDS
BUILD OVER INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS. WNW WINDS WITH GUSTS
AROUND 20 KT TODAY...DIMINISHING OVERNIGHT. WNW WINDS THEN
INCREASE A BIT SUN WITH GUSTS TO 25 KT POSSIBLE.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SUN NGT/MON...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR/DRY WEATHER AND LIGHT WINDS.

MON NGT/TUES...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR MVFR IN SHOWERS. LOW
PROBABILITY OF IFR.

WED...VFR TO MVFR. LOW CONFIDENCE.

&&

.MARINE...
10 AM UPDATE...
HAVE EXTENDED TIMING OF ALL ADVISORIES THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AS SWELLS WILL BE SLOWER TO SUBSIDE AND WIND GUSTS TO 25
KT ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AT LEAST. SOME MAY NEED TO
BE EXTENDED INTO THE NIGHT BUT WILL RE-EVALUATE IN LATER UPDATES.

CONTINUING SCA FOR WIND GUSTS THIS MORNING FOR ALL ZONES EXCEPT
NARRAGANSETT BAY AND WILL LIKELY NEED TO RETAIN SCA THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON FOR ROUGH SEAS ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS TO THE S AND SE.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SUN NGT/MON...TRANQUIL BOATING WEATHER WITH HIGH PRES CRESTING OVER
THE WATERS.  DRY WEATHER AND GOOD VSBY.

TUE...LOW PRES EXITS THE GREAT LAKES AND TRACKS NEAR OR OVER NEW
ENGLAND.  VSBY REDUCED IN RAIN AND FOG. LOW CONFIDENCE IN WND
FORECAST GIVEN UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK OF LOW PRES.

WED...LOW PRES SHOULD MOVE OFFSHORE WITH WEAK HIGH PRES BUILDING
OVER NEW ENGLAND. THUS LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
VERY DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL TODAY WITH MIN RH VALUES
DROPPING TO 15 TO 20 PERCENT. WIND GUSTS WILL REACH 20 TO 25 MPH.
GIVEN THE HEAVY RAINFALL EARLIER IN THE WEEK AND THE FACT MUCH OF
OUR AREA IS APPROACHING STAGE 2 VEGETATION...NO FIRE WEATHER
HEADLINES ARE PLANNED. HOWEVER...THE FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL
BE ELEVATED TODAY AND PROBABLY AGAIN SUNDAY DUE TO LOW RH VALUES
AND MARGINAL WIND GUSTS.
