AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
301 PM EDT SAT JUN 23 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TODAY. WEAK
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING A BRIEF RETURN TO DRY WEATHER TONIGHT AND
SUN.  ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL BRING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE
SUN NIGHT AND MON...WITH SEASONAL TEMPS CONTINUING INTO THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
200 PM UPDATE...
FORECAST IS GENERALLY ON TRACK. TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO INCREASE
THROUGHOUT THE DAY SO HAVE ADJUSTED TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. OTHERWISE
BL WINDS ARE STARTING TO MIX OUT WEST AS DEWPOINTS BEGIN TO DROP
INTO THE MID 50S ACROSS WESTERN MASS AND NH. THIS WILL INHIBIT
CELL STRENGTHEN AS THE ENVIRONMENT IS NOT AS JUICY. BESIDE THE
DIURNAL STORMS OFF FROM THE BERKSHIRES...BELIEVE MAIN ACTION WILL
NOT OCCUR UNTIL COLD POOL MOVES CLOSER TO THE REGION AS NOTED
ACROSS UPSTATE NY AND VT.

1030 AM UPDATE...

UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES WILL CONTINUE
TO PUSH EASTWARD OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THIS WILL BE THE MAIN
FOCUS FOR THE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. CURRENTLY
BATCH OF PRECIP OFF THE EAST COASTAL WATERS FROM LINGERING COLD
FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH OFFSHORE. SKIES HAVE ALREADY STARTED
TO CLEAR ACROSS THE THE CWA LATE THIS MORNING. NOTICED IN CURRENT
SATELLITE IMAGERY THAT A CU FIELD HAS ALREADY STARTED TO DEVELOP
AND ECHOES ARE FORMING ALONG THE ADIRONDACKS PER LATEST RADAR IMAGE.

TEMPS HAVE ALREADY BEEN A TAD TO LOW FOR THE MORNING HOURS SO HAVE
TWEAKED THEM A BIT. OTHERWISE EXPECT CU FIELD TO DEVELOP ACROSS
THE REGION LATE THIS MORNING. INSTABILITY PARAMETERS INCREASE DUE
TO DAY TIME HEATING WITH CAPE VALUES IN THE 2000 J/KG...WITH
SHEAR VALUES REACHING NEAR 40 KTS. BELIEVE STORMS WILL EVOLVE
AROUND 17/18Z AND LAST THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. BEST AREAS FOR
STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE ACROSS NH AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL
HILLS AS INSTABILITY IS GREATEST IN THIS REGION. COLD POOL ALOFT
FROM 850MB UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE DOWN FROM VT TOWARDS SOUTHERN
NEW HAMPSHIRE...THIS COLD POOL WILL INCREASE THE THREAT FOR HAIL
THIS AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE EXPECT GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL AS
PWAT VALUES ARE STILL NEAR 1-1.5 INCHES. SOME CONCERN WITH THE SEA
BREEZE INTERACTION AND IF STORMS WILL BE TRAINING ALONG THE SEA
BREEZE...WILL HAVE TO WAIT ONCE STORMS BEGIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...

SUNDAY...
UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL LIFT NORTHWARD INTO THE MARITIMES ALLOWING
FOR SLIGHT RIDGING TO MOVE INTO THE REGION. TEMPS WILL WARM INTO
THE MID TO UPPER 80S ON SUNDAY. DRY AIR AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT
WILL DIMINISH ANY DIURNAL STORMS. SOME SCT CU MAY FORM DURING PEAK
HEATING...BUT THAT WILL RESIDE CLOSE TOT HE BERKSHIRES. OTHERWISE
EXPECT A PLEASANT SUMMER DAY.

SUN NIGHT...
ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO
DEVELOPING A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. THIS PRETTY STACKED SYSTEM WILL
BRING MOISTURE OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT. EXPECT PRECIP TO BEGIN LATE
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. MODEST ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND
GOOD DYNAMICS WITH THIS SYSTEM...WILL ALLOW FOR SOME OVERNIGHT
THUNDERSTORMS. PWAT VALUES WILL RANGE FROM 1-1.5 INCHES SO HEAVY
RAINFALL IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. LOW PROB THAT THEY WILL BE
SEVERE. OVERCAST SKIES WILL KEEP TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S OVERNIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...

* COLD FRNT THRU THE FCST AREA WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
* HEAVY RAIN AND NUISANCE FLOODING PSBL
* GRADUAL CLEARING INTO THE EVNG

ALL FCST GUIDANCE ON TRACK FOR A SFC COLD FRNT TO SWING ACROSS NEW
ENGLAND MUCH OF THE DAY MONDAY...EXITING OFFSHORE AROUND MIDNIGHT
TUESDAY. HEAVIEST OF RAINS EXPECTED DURING THE MORNING INTO MIDDAY
PD...TAPERING EWD INTO THE LATER HALF OF THE DAY WITH THE MID-LVL
DRY AIR PUNCH WRAPPING INTO THE REAR OF THE SYS. LOOKING AT AN
OVRNGT PD OF CLEARING UNDER MODEST NW FLOW WHICH DO BELIEVE WILL
USHER DRIER AIR AT THE SFC AND KEEP FOG AT A MINIMUM.

CONCERNING IMPACTS...MODEST SFC TO MID-LVL MOISTURE TRANSPORT VIA
S/SW FLOW IS EVIDENT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRNT. PRIMARY LOBE OF SHRTWV
ENERGY DIVING SEWD WITH THE MAIN CLOSED UPR LVL LOW FROM THE HUDSON
BAY RGN WILL ENHANCE HEIGHT FALLS AND UPR LVL DIFLUENCE ALONG THE
SFC COLD FRNT THRU NEW ENGLAND. THUS STRONG DEEP LYR ASCENT AND
FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING IS LIKELY...WARRANTING CONTINUED LIKELY
POPS. FCST GUIDANCE PWATS AVERAGE 1.5 INCHES ALONG A SW TO NE AXIS
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRNT.

CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL IS CHALLENGING. BULK SHEAR PARALLEL TO THE SFC
COLD FRNT SUGGESTS PARALLEL STRATIFORM RAINS ALONG THE COLD FRNT.
THE TIMING OF THE SYS IS EARLY...SO AM SKEPTICAL AS TO POTENTIAL
INSTABILITY AND WHETHER CONVECTION CAN BE ORGANIZED AND/OR SFC
BASED. LED TO BELIEVE THE OUTCOME WILL BE A LINE OF SHOWERS WITH
EMBEDDED HEAVIER RAINS AND SCTD THUNDERSTORMS /NOTHING SEVERE/. THE
QUICK NATURE OF THE SYS LIMITS THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING...
BUT CANT RULE OUT SOME NUISANCE FLOODING OF URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE
AREAS.

TUESDAY INTO THURSDAY...

* OCCLUSION SLOWLY LIFT NORTHWARD
* DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS AND PSBL THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY TUES
* HIGH PRES BUILDING INTO THE RGN LATE WED INTO THURS

WHILE LONG-TERM FCST GUIDANCE SPLITS OVER OUTCOMES IN THE TROPICS...
THERE IS A CONSISTENT TREND IN THE MARITIME FLOW EVOLUTION FOR THE
PD...WITH THE ECMWF EXHIBITING BETTER RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY.

STRONG CLOSED LOW GRADUALLY LIFTS NEWD AND OUT OF THE RGN AGAINST A
STOUT WRN ATLANTIC RIDGE. AN OVERALL DRY PD IS ANTICIPATED WITH
SEASONABLE CONDITIONS...YET CYCLONIC FLOW COUPLED WITH WELL-MIXED
LOW LVLS /COLD POOL ALOFT/ DURING THE DAY WILL YIELD SHOWERS AND
PSBL THUNDERSTORMS /PRIMARILY ACROSS CENTRAL AND NRN INTERIOR NEW
ENGLAND/. BETTER ACTIVITY WILL BE ON TUE...LESSER ON WED...NONE ON
THURS AS SFC HIGH PRES AND ANTICYCLONIC FLOW BUILDS INTO THE RGN.

CHC POPS WITH CLOUDS DISSIPATING AS THEY LIFT NWD WITH TIME ON
TUE...SLGT CHCS ON WED. PREVAILING WLY FLOW...BUT BECOMING LGT WITH
TIME AS SFC HIGH PRES BUILDS EWD WED NGT. SEA-BREEZES MAY BE PSBL
LATE WED DURING THE DAY...EXPECTED THURS.

FRIDAY INTO SUNDAY...

* ANOTHER SYNOPTIC SYS PSBL FRI INTO SAT
* AN IMPROVING PD INTO SUN

THERE IS AN APPARENT TREND OF AN INITIAL WARM FRNT ACROSS THE FCST
RGN FRIDAY WITH A FOLLOW-UP COLD FRNT SATURDAY. A PERIOD OF WARMER
TEMPS IS PLAUSIBLE AS THE THERMAL AXIS FROM THE DEEP S IS ADVECTED
NELY AHEAD OF THE SYNOPTIC SYS DUE TO EXIT SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY MORNING. STILL A FAIR AMNT OF UNCERTAINTY...BUT WILL LEAN
MORESO TOWARDS THE ECMWF. AT FIRST GUESS...COOLER AND DRIER
CONDITIONS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF WEAK HIGH PRES IS EXPECTED FOR
SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MODERATE...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

CLOUDS MAY LINGER ALONG THE COAST. MODERATE PROB OF FOG
DEVELOPMENT.

SUNDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
VFR. INCREASING MID AND HIGH CLOUDS.

SUNDAY NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
VFR CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE INTO MVFR DURING THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS AS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS APPROACH FROM WEST TO EAST. LOW
PROB OF IFR CONDITIONS.

KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH
TONIGHT. SEA BREEZE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL SUNSET. EXPECT BRIEF MVFR-
IFR IN SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.

KBDL TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH TONIGHT.
BRIEF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS ARE POSSIBLE IN ANY SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS THIS

TUESDAY INTO THURSDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.
VFR CONDITIONS. SHRA AND ISO TSRA ACROSS NRN/WRN INTERIOR NEW
ENGLAND TUE. LESSER CHCS WED. ALL CLEAR THURS.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH CONFIDENCE THROUGH SUNDAY.

EXPECT WINDS AND SEAS TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA THROUGH
TONIGHT. HOWEVER...COULD POTENTIALLY SEE A FEW STRONG THUNDERSTORMS
WITH GUSTY WINDS...SMALL HAIL AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING THIS
EVENING. EXPECT THIS TO PUSH OFFSHORE BY AROUND 04Z-05Z. PATCHY
FOG IS ALSO POSSIBLE WITH REDUCED VSBYS LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY
SUNDAY. SUNDAY LOOKS TO BE A NICE DAY FOR BOATING...THOUGH NOTING
S WIND GUSTS MAY INCREASE TO 20 KT DURING THE AFTERNOON ACROSS THE
EASTERN WATERS. APPROACHING COLD FRONT ON SUNDAY NIGHT WILL HELP
INCREASE SEAS TO 5FT...SO SCA MAY BE NEEDED.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED AROUND MIDDAY MONDAY ACROSS THE
WATERS...EXITING MON NGT INTO TUES. ANTICIPATE MODEST SLY FLOW WITH
GUSTS EXCEEDING 25 KTS AND WAVES BUILDING 5 FT OR GREATER ALONG THE
S INNER AND OUTER WATERS AND E OUTER WATERS.

WEDNESDAY ONWARD...
MUCH OF THE FCST REVOLVES AROUND WHETHER A TROPICAL SYS WILL LIFT
NEWD INTO THE WRN ATLANTIC GENERATING SWELL AND RESULTING IN WAVES
EXCEEDING 5 FT. SHOULD THIS OUTCOME NOT COME TO FRUITION...EXPECT
WINDS AND SEAS TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADV.
