AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
515 PM EDT WED MAY 30 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
RAIN CONNECTED TO MOISTURE FROM FAR AWAY TROPICAL STORM BERYL WILL
FALL OVER THE CAPE AND ISLANDS THIS EVENING. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT WILL AFFECT PORTIONS OF
SOUTHWEST NEW HAMPSHIRE...CENTRAL AND WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND
NORTHERN CONNECTICUT THIS EVENING. THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
SHOULD DIMINISH IN INTENSITY AND COVERAGE AS THEY MOVE INTO
EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLAND. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE FROM
SOUTHERN CANADA WILL KEEP THE REGION DRY ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS
THE CIRCULATION OF BERYL OR ITS REMNANTS REMAINS WELL OFFSHORE.
LOW PRESSURE IN THE GREAT LAKES SWINGS A COLD FRONT THROUGH NEW
ENGLAND SATURDAY. UPPER LOW PRESSURE BRINGS UNSETTLED WEATHER
MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH MIXED CLOUDS AND SCATTERED SHOWERS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
515 PM UPDATE...
MADE A QUICK UPDATE TO REFLECT LATEST RAFL TRENDS. NOW LOOKS LIKE
THE RAIN OVER SOUTHEASTERN ZONES SHOULD MOVE OFFSHORE QUICKER THAN
EXPECTED. ALSO UPDATED THE GRIDS FOR THE BAND OF CONVECTION NOW
EXTENDING FROM SW NH THRU WESTERN MA TO JUST W OF CT. A FEW OF THE
TSTMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTAIN HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH POSSIBLY A HALF
INCH OF RAIN FALLING WITHIN AN HOUR IN LOCALIZED SPOTS. THE
ACTIVITY IS STILL EXPECTED TO WEAKEN/DIMINISH AS IT HEADS TO
EASTERN MA AND RI THIS EVENING.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
TWO CENTERS OF ACTION FOR THE NEAR TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST.

HAVE A PERIOD OF CATEGORICAL POPS ACROSS THE CAPE AND ISLANDS
WITH CHC BACK TO ABOUT A PYM-PVD-WST LINE FROM RAFL EMANATING FAR
N FROM BERYL. ANTICIPATING GENERALLY A QUARTER TO A HALF INCH OF
RAIN ACROSS THE CAPE AND ISLANDS...EXCEPT POSSIBLY A LITTLE MORE
ON NANTUCKET. MODELS ARE NOT BEEN HANDLING THIS AREA OF RAFL VERY
WELL. EMBEDDED THUNDER POSSIBLE BUT MORE LIKELY TO REMAIN SE OF
ACK. WILL KEEP THE RAIN GOING LONGER IN THE SE THAN SHOWN BY MODELS
BASED UPON LATEST TRENDS. THE RAIN SHOULD EVENTUALLY SLIDE OUT TO
SEA AROUND OR A LITTLE AFTER MIDNIGHT.

SECOND CENTER OF ACTION IS THE CONVECTION THAT WAS APPROACHING
WESTERN MA AT 1930Z. ONLY SCT COVERAGE AT 1930Z BUT COVERAGE MIGHT
INCREASE A LITTLE AS THIS BAND MOVES OVER AND EAST OF THE
BERKSHIRES DUE TO ENTRAINMENT OF TROPICAL MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH. HAVE
STUCK WITH A BAND OF LIKELY POPS FROM WESTERN HFD COUNTY ACROSS
THE EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKS INTO FRANKLIN COUNTY WHERE LOOKS TO
BE BEST OVERLAP OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE...HIGH K INDICES
AND HIGH PWATS. BAND OF HIGH THETA E ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY. THE QUESTION REMAINS AS TO JUST HOW MUCH
COVERAGE...HOW HEAVY...AND HOW FAR EAST THIS WILL HOLD TOGETHER.
NOT EXPECTING SVR CONVECTION BUT LOCAL DOWNPOURS AND LOCALIZED
STREET FLOODING POSSIBLE WITH ONE OR TWO OF THE CELLS.

THIS BAND OF CONVECTION IS PROGGED TO WEAKEN CONSIDERABLY BY MOST
MODELS AS IT GETS EAST OF A MHT-ORH- IJD LINE. CONFIDENCE LOW ON
THE DECAY OF THIS FEATURE BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED WITH ISOLATED
ELEVATED CONVECTION MAKING IT TO A BOS-PVD LINE AROUND 03Z.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
TONIGHT...

DRY WEATHER WITH LOWER DEWPOINTS SHOULD DOMINATE ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA THU AND THU NIGHT. HAVE GONE WITH A BIAS CORRECTED
BLEND OF MAV AND MET TEMP GUIDANCE. EXPECT LIGHT NW WINDS THU BUT
THERE IS A LOW CHANCE OF THE GRADIENT BEING SLACK ENOUGH TO
SUPPORT SOME LOCAL SEA BREEZES. LOWER DEWPOINTS AND LIGHT WINDS
SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS THU NIGHT TO DROP ABOUT 6 TO 10 DEGREES LOWER
THAN TONIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
BIG PICTURE...
CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER THE MIDWEST LIFTS NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES
OVER THE WEEKEND...THEN PIVOTS OVER NEW ENGLAND EARLY NEXT WEEK AND
LINGERS HERE DURING THE MIDWEEK.

FRIDAY...
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION MOVES EAST BUT PROVIDES DRY
WEATHER THROUGH THE DAY.  MODELS SHOW INCREASING HIGH LEVEL
MOISTURE...SO INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS.  INCREASING LOW LEVEL
SOUTHEAST WINDS MAY BRING LOWER CLOUDS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON
BUT WITH EVENING LOW LEVEL JET FEEDING FROM THE MID ATLANTIC COAST
INTO CENTRAL NY...EXPECT MOST OR ALL OF PCPN TO BE JUST WEST OF OUR
BORDER.  WE BRING SLIGHT CHANCE POPS TO THE CT VALLEY BY 00Z.  GOOD
DAY FOR MIXING WITH MIXING DEPTH UP TO 850 MB.  TEMPS AT THAT LEVEL
ARE FORECAST 8-10C...SO MAX SURFACE TEMPS IN THE 70S.  EAST WIND MAY
KEEP BOSTON/CAPE ANN/OUTER CAPE COD/ISLANDS IN THE 60S.  FOR THE
MOST PART...A FAIR DAY.

FRIDAY NIGHT-SATURDAY
SHORTWAVE MOVES AROUND THE GREAT LAKES LOW PRESSURE.  THIS DRIVES
THE SURFACE COLD FRONT EAST.  LOW LEVEL JET /30-40 KNOTS/ MOVES TO
THE NEW ENGLAND BORDER DURING THE NIGHT AND CENTERS ON SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND BY MORNING. THIS JET THEN MOVES EAST OF MASSACHUSETTS DURING
SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

THE LOW LEVEL JET RUNS OVER THE TOP OF EAST FLOW AT THE SURFACE.
THIS SHOULD GENERATE INCREASING LIFT FRIDAY NIGHT WITH BEST LIFT ON
SATURDAY. CROSS SECTIONS SHOW DEEP MOISTURE IN PLACE BY SATURDAY.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES RETURN TO 1.5 INCHES...A HEALTHY AMOUNT
FOR SPRING WHICH WOULD SUPPORT SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS.  THIS MEANS
INCREASING POPS OVERNIGHT AND MAXIMUM VALUE POPS DURING SATURDAY
MORNING...THEN DIMINISHING WEST TO EAST BY EVENING.  AS THIS WILL BE
DAY 4 OF THE FORECAST...WE HAVE CAPPED MAXIMUM POPS AT LIKELY VALUES
/55 TO 74 PCT/ FOR NOW.

EAST SURFACE WIND AND SHOWERS WILL KEEP MIXING VALUES BELOW FULL
POTENTIAL.  FRIDAY NIGHT DEWPOINTS WILL BE IN THE 50S...WHICH SHOULD
KEEP OVERNIGHT MIN TEMPS NO LOWER THAN THAT LEVEL.  WE USED A BLEND
OF MOS FOR DAYTIME MAX TEMPS.

SUNDAY...
DRY SLOT MOVES OVER THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT AND AT LEAST A PART OF
SUNDAY.  UPPER LOW PRESSURE AND COOLER TEMPS ALOFT MOVE IN FROM
CANADA LATER IN THE DAY.  THIS IS BEST SHOWN BY THE MODEL CROSS
SECTIONS OF RH WHICH SHOW MODERATELY DRY VALUES THROUGH MIDDAY
SUNDAY FOLLOWED BY MOIST VALUES UP TO AT LEAST 600 MB COMMENCING
AFTER 18Z.  WITH COOLER TEMPS ALOFT AND INCREASED
INSTABILITY...SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE BEST CHANCE
FOUND ALONG AND NORTH OF THE MASS PIKE. MOST OF THE TIME WILL BE DRY
BUT WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. TEMPS ARE A BLEND OF HPC AND
GMOS VALUES.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
UPPER LOW HOVERS OVER NEW ENGLAND MONDAY AND TUESDAY...THEN MOVES
OFF THROUGH THE GULF OF MAINE WEDNESDAY. THIS MAINTAINS COLD POOL
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY THROUGH TUESDAY.  EXPECT PLENTY CLOUDS
MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS.  CLOUDS AND POPS TREND
LESS BUT DON/T DISAPPEAR WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MODERATE...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

OVERVIEW FOR FORECAST AREA...
MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS NOW EXPECTED ALONG AND SE OF ROUGHLY A FMH-
UUU-WST LINE WITH RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH MOISTURE EMANATING FAR N
FROM BERYL...EVEN THOUGH THE CIRCULATION OF BERYL WILL REMAIN FAR
TO THE S OF NEW ENGLAND. CONDITIONS MAY LOWER TO IFR CIGS AND
VSBYS FOR ACK AND POSSIBLY MVY AND CQX AS WELL FOR THIS EVENING.
STATISTICAL GUIDANCE SHOWS LIFR FOG DEVELOPING ACK AFTER RA SHIELD
MOVES OFF DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

MOST OF THE REST OF THE AREA SHOULD BE VFR EXCEPT FOR LOCALIZED
MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS IN SCT SHOWERS AND TSTMS MOVING WEST TO EAST
AFT 20Z. SHOWERS/TSTMS SHOULD DIMINISH IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY
SE OF A MHT-ORH-IJD LINE.

KBOS TAF...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. VFR CIGS SHOULD PREVAIL MOST OF
THE PERIOD. SCT SHOWERS AND ISOLD TSTMS MAY IMPACT THE BOS
AIRSPACE FOR AN HOUR OR TWO SOMETIME IN THE 02Z - 05Z WINDOW.
RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS BUT TOUGH CALL ON DIRECTION. THOUGHT WE
WOULD SEE A SEA BREEZE FOR A FEW HOURS THIS AFTERNOON BUT AREA OBS
SUGGESTING THAT A SW FLOW MAY ESTABLISH ITSELF SOONER THAN
LATER...ALBEIT WEAK. WILL BE MONITORING AND MAY NEED TO AMEND. VFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL BEHIND THE COLD FRONT THU. THERE IS A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SEA BREEZE DEVELOPING FOR A FEW HOURS THU AFTERNOON.

KBDL TAF...MODERATE CONFIDENCE THRU TONIGHT.
MOSTLY VFR CIGS EXPECTED THROUGH THIS EVENING. A BRIEF PERIOD OF
MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS POSSIBLE IN VICINITY OF SHRA/TSRA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. GREATEST RISK FOR TSTMS IN OR NEAR THE BDL
AIRSPACE LOOKS TO BE SOMETIME IN THE 21Z TO 01Z WINDOW. MVFR VSBYS
IN FOG POSSIBLE FOR A TIME OVERNIGHT.
THU...HIGH CONFIDENCE OF VFR CONDITIONS BEHIND COLD FRONT.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

FRIDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE
VFR DURING THE DAY WITH CEILINGS LOWERING TO MVFR-IFR AT NIGHT.
OCCASIONAL IFR VSBYS IN SHOWERS FRIDAY NIGHT.  LIGHT EAST WIND WHICH
WILL BE MOST NOTICEABLE ALONG THE EAST COAST.

SATURDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE
MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS DURING THE DAY WITH LOW CLOUDS AND SHOWERS.
SCATTERED TO ISOLATED TSTMS.  EAST FLOW SWITCHES TO SOUTH AND THEN
WEST LATE IN THE DAY.

SUNDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE
VFR. INCREASING AFTERNOON CLOUDS AND SCATTERED SHOWERS ESPECIALLY
OVER SOUTHERN NH AND WESTERN MASS.

MONDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE
VFR. SCATTERED SHOWERS MAY BRING OCCASIONAL MVFR CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...
SWELL SEEMS TO HAVE SLOWLY SUBSIDED ACROSS THE OUTER S COASTAL
WATERS...ALTHOUGH STILL 5 FOOTERS OUTSIDE OF ACK SHOALS. FORECAST
TREND IS TO LOWER OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS AND WILL CANCEL THE SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY FOR ROUGH SEAS.

RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS ARE BEING FORECAST THROUGH THE PERIOD.

SWELLS WILL PROBABLY INCREASE AGAIN FOR THE OUTER S AND SE COASTAL
WATERS BY LATE THU AND THU NIGHT AS THE SWELL EMANATING FROM BERYL
BEGINS TO ARRIVE. THUS...MAY NEED TO REHOIST SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
FOR SOMETIME THU AFTERNOON FOR SOME OF THE WATERS.

AREAS OF FOG WILL PERSIST OVER THE COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT AND THEN
SHOULD DISSIPATE AS DRIER AIR BEHIND THE COLD FRONT MOVES IN.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

FRIDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE
5 FOOT SEAS ON THE OUTER WATERS WILL DIMINISH DURING THE MORNING.
OTHERWISE WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT THRESHOLDS.

FRIDAY NIGHT-SATURDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED.

LOW PRESSURE IN CANADA WILL SWING A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE WATERS ON
SATURDAY. EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS AHEAD OF THIS FRONT MAY REACH
25-30 KNOTS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY.  SEAS WILL BUILD TO 5-7
FEET ESPECIALLY OVER THE OUTER WATERS.

SUNDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE
WINDS WILL BE LESS THAN 25 KNOTS ON SUNDAY.  ANY LINGERING 5 FOOT
SEAS WILL DIMINISH SUNDAY MORNING.

MONDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED.

NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL BUILD TO AROUND 20 KNOTS.  SEAS WILL
BUILD TO 5-6 FEET.
