Special Weather Statement, NWS Boston/Norton, MA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
750 PM EDT FRI JUN 8 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL RETURN AGAIN LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AS A COLD FRONT MOVES SOUTH FROM EASTERN CANADA. THIS FRONT
IS EXPECTED TO STALL ALONG OR JUST SOUTH OF THE SOUTH COAST OF NEW
ENGLAND LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS
WESTERN AND SOUTHERN AREAS SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY SUNDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL PUSH ACROSS NEW ENGLAND FROM EASTERN CANADA WITH
DRY AND SEASONABLE WEATHER EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE HIGH WILL ANCHOR
ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLANTIC BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK WITH WARMER
TEMPERATURES. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH BY LATE WEEK WITH MILD BUT
UNSETTLED CONDITIONS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
745 PM UPDATE...
NOTED THE FOG BANK HAS FINALLY MOVED OUT OF NANTUCKET AND CHATHAM
AROUND 6 PM. MOST OF THE CONVECTION HAS MOVED OFFSHORE WITH THE
PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH...WITH ANOTHER LINE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS WITH MAIN
FRONT ACROSS N VT/N NH AT 2342Z. ALSO NOTING A SMALL TSTM ACROSS SW
NH. TSTM TREND OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS HAS BEEN DECREASING...
THOUGH MUCAPES REMAIN AROUND 500-1000 J/KG ON SPC MESOANALYSIS AT
23Z.

WILL STILL SEE SOME SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS AS FRONT APPROACHES/PASSES
THROUGH THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
TRENDS OF TSTMS OUT OF NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND...BUT HAS BEEN QUIET SO
FAR FROM OUR NEIGHBORS..FOR NOW.

UPDATED GRIDS TO REFLECT CURRENT CONDITIONS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THIS EVENING.
SUNSET WILL MEAN THE LOSS OF HEATING AND THE UPPER JET AXIS SHIFTS
EAST OF US AROUND MIDNIGHT. THE SURFACE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH
DURING 00Z-06Z. SO EXPECTING A LINGERING CHANCE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS
DURING THE FIRST PART OF THE NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY CLEARING SKIES
AFTER MIDNIGHT. TEMPERATURES ARE A BLEND OF MOS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...
COLD FRONT LINGERS TO OUR SOUTH AND WEST. CONCERN IS FOR
CONVECTION THAT MAY MOVE ALONG/NEAR THE FRONT AND CROSS PART OF
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES FOCUS MORE ON THE
CORRIDOR ACROSS NEW YORK CITY AND NEW JERSEY...POSSIBLY CLIPPING
SOUTHWEST CT. MODEL QPF IS FARTHER NORTH...REACHING TO RI AND
CENTRAL MASS. WE WENT WITH LOW-END CHANCE POPS THROUGH WESTERN
MASS/CT/RI...BUT WITH THE BETTER CHANCES TO OUR SOUTHWEST.

TEMPS ARE A BLEND OF MOS.

&&

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

 * SCATTERED SHOWERS LINGERING ACROSS SOUTHERN AREAS SUNDAY.
 * HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL START OF NEXT WEEK.
 * COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS LATER NEXT WEEK.

MODEL DISCUSSION AND PREFERENCES...
NEW MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW GOOD AGREEMENT INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK...THEN SOLUTIONS BEGIN TO SHOW WIDE TRACK AND TIMING
DIFFERENCES FOR THE MIDDLE AND LATTER PORTIONS OF THE WEEK. APPEARS
THIS IS MAINLY DUE TO THE MOVEMENT OF UPPER TROUGH IN THE NORTHERN
STREAM AND ITS INTERACTION WITH CUTOFF LOW OVER THE WEST CENTRAL
ATLC. AT THIS POINT...LEANED TOWARD A BLEND OF THE 12Z GFS AND 00Z
ECMWF THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY...THEN BLENDING THESE MODELS WITH THEIR
ENSEMBLE MEANS FOR WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY TO WORK OUT TIMING AND TRACK
DIFFERENCES.  THIS CAME IN RATHER CLOSE TO HPC GUIDANCE.

SUNDAY...
MODELS ARE TENDING TO DRY OUT CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION...BUT
WIDELY SCT SHOWERS MAY REDEVELOP ACROSS SW MA/N CENTRAL CT DURING
THE AFTERNOON AS WEAKNESS/LEFTOVER ENERGY FROM STALLED FRONT MAY
ALLOW JUST ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO CAUSE THESE TO FORM.
HOWEVER...QUESTION WILL BE WHETHER THERE IS ENOUGH LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE FOR THIS TO OCCUR. IN ANY EVENT...MAY NOT LAST TOO LONG AS
HIGH PRES BUILDS OUT OF EASTERN CANADA. EXPECT LIGHT WINDS AS THE
HIGH MOVES S...WITH SEA BREEZES DURING THE AFTERNOON WHERE TEMPS
WILL BE A BIT COOLER. EXPECT HIGHS IN THE LOWER-MID 70S ALONG THE
COAST TO AROUND 80 INLAND.

MONDAY-TUESDAY...
HIGH PRES WILL SETTLE ACROSS THE REGION DURING MONDAY...THEN SLIP
DOWN THE COAST ON TUESDAY. THIS WILL BRING A LOT OF SUNSHINE AND
SEASONABLE TEMPS. A CONTINUED LIGHT ONSHORE WIND WILL KEEP TEMPS A
BIT COOLER ACROSS EASTERN AREAS ON MONDAY...BUT WILL SHIFT TO S ON
TUESDAY FOR MODERATING TEMPS. CLOUDS AND A FEW WIDELY SCT SHOWERS
MAY START TO PUSH INTO CENTRAL AND WESTERN AREAS TUESDAY NIGHT WELL
AHEAD OF APPROACHING FRONT.

WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY...
APPROACHING FRONT MOVING OUT OF THE OHIO VALLEY AND APPALACHIANS
LOOKS TO SLOW DOWN WITH CUTOFF BLOCKING LOW OVER THE WEST CENTRAL
ATLANTIC. TIMING AND TRACK OF THIS FRONT IS STILL IN QUESTION...
THOUGH DOES APPEAR THAT UNSETTLED CONDITIONS WILL MOVE IN FROM W-E
DURING WEDNESDAY AND WILL LINGER THROUGH A GOOD PORTION OF THURSDAY.
INSTABILITY WILL ALSO INCREASE ESPECIALLY ON THURSDAY AS THE FRONT
SLOWLY PUSHES CLOSER TO NEW ENGLAND. HAVE MENTIONED ISOLD TSTMS LATE
WED/WED NIGHT...SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS ON THURSDAY. ALSO NOTING ONE OR
TWO WEAK LOW PRES WAVES MOVING ALONG THIS STALLED FRONT...THOUGH
MODELS HAVE DIFFICULTY WITH THE TRACK. COULD SEE SOME ENHANCED
PRECIP WITH THIS WAVES ESPECIALLY WED NIGHT INTO THU.

FRIDAY...
MODELS CONTINUE WITH WIDE SOLUTIONS DURING THIS TIMEFRAME SO LOW
CONFIDENCE ON THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST. FOR NOW...HAVE TRENDED
FOR SLOWLY IMPROVING CONDITIONS FROM NW-SE.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MODERATE...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

TONIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
VFR IN GENERAL...BUT WITH AREAS OF MVFR IN LOW CLOUDS/FOG AFTER
MIDNIGHT...AND AREAS OF IFR AROUND THE ISLANDS AND SE MA AND
POSSIBLY PARTS OF THE CT VALLEY. BRIEF LOCAL MVFR-IFR CIGS/VSBYS
WITH ANY SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS THROUGH 03Z-04Z.

SATURDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.
VFR WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES IN SRN NH AND EASTERN MASS.
VFR WITH CLOUDS AND SCATTERED SHOWERS ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON
IN WESTERN MASS AND CT-RI.

SATURDAY NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE
VFR WITH AREAS OF IFR IN FOG AND LOW CLOUDS LATE.

KBOS TAF...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.
VFR. POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING...ESPECIALLY
430 TO 7 PM. LOW CONFIDENCE FOG POTENTIAL...THERE WILL BE SOME FOG
AROUND THE REGION BUT HARD TO PINPOINT IT TO BOS. ANY THAT DOES
OCCUR COULD BRING IFR VSBYS LATE TONIGHT...DISSIPATING BY 8 AM.

KBDL TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
VFR. BRIEF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS THROUGH
EVENING. TSTMS MAY CONTAIN HAIL AND WIND GUSTS TO 50 MPH. RISK
OF SHOWERS/TSTM DIMINISHES BY 02Z. ALSO A CHANCE OF IFR IN PATCHY
FOG LATE TONIGHT.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SUNDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. MAY SEE LOCAL MVFR CIGS/VSBYS
AT TIMES IN WIDELY SCT SHOWERS/ISOLD TSTMS ACROSS SW MA/N CENTRAL CT
FROM LATE MORNING INTO LATE AFTERNOON.

MONDAY-TUESDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR CONDITIONS.

WEDNESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS TO
START...THEN MAY LOWER TO LOCAL MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN SCT SHOWERS/ISOLD
TSTMS FROM W-E LATE WED MORNING-WED AFTERNOON AND CONTINUING WED
NIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH CONFIDENCE WINDS REMAIN BELOW 25 KNOTS AND SEAS REMAIN BELOW 5
FEET THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. AREAS OF FOG MAY BE LOCALLY DENSE...
ESPECIALLY SATURDAY MORNING. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THIS
EVENING WITH LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
POSSIBLE AGAIN ON THE WATERS SOUTH OF RI SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND
NIGHT...ALTHOUGH MOST OF THAT ACTION WILL PASS TO THE SOUTHWEST.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SUNDAY-TUESDAY...
HIGH CONFIDENCE. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY IMPACT VSBYS AND
CAUSE GUSTY WINDS SUNDAY MORNING-AFTERNOON ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
WATERS. OTHERWISE...EXPECT CONDITIONS TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT
CRITERIA AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE WATERS MONDAY-TUESDAY.

WEDNESDAY...
MODERATE CONFIDENCE. WINDS BECOME S-SW BUT SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SMALL
CRAFT CRITERIA. MAY SEE BRIEF INCREASE IN SEAS TO AROUND 5 FT ON THE
SOUTHERN WATERS. EXPECT LOWER VSBYS AND GUSTY WINDS WITHIN ANY
THUNDERSTORMS.
