AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
142 PM EDT TUE JUN 26 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE EAST OF CAPE COD WILL LIFT NORTH INTO MAINE TODAY
AND WEDNESDAY BRINGING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG
WITH COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES. A RETURN TO WARMER AND
MORE HUMID WEATHER IS EXPECTED LATE IN THE WEEK AND INTO THE
WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1 PM UPDATE...
WV IMG AND VIS SAT IMG SUGGEST UPPER LVL LOW IS CURRENTLY OVER
CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE FA AND GRADUALLY LIFTING E TO CATCH UP
WITH SFC LOW PRES IN THE GULF OF MAINE. THE UPPER LVL LOW MOVEMENT
IS PRIMARILY THE RESULT OF A STRONGER SHORTWAVE MOVING S FROM
QUEBEC IN THE SLY FLOW ON ITS BACK SIDE. WITH THE COOLEST
TEMPERATURES ALOFT EXPECTED IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS...SUSPECT BEST
WINDOW FOR LOW TOPPED CONVECTION/SHRA WILL BE THROUGH EARLY THIS
EVENING. INDEED THE COVERAGE OF SOME -SHRA AND ISOLD TSTMS HAS
INCREASED IN THE LAST HOUR. SUSPECT SOME OF THIS TO REACH NRN
MA...BUT HAVE GENERALLY DROPPED POPS A BIT FROM EARLIER FORECAST
GIVEN THE DRIER AIR SEEN SO FAR.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
MID LEVEL LOW AND ASSOCD COLD POOL WILL BE MOVING ACROSS NEW ENG
TODAY AS SFC LOW DEEPENS IN THE GULF OF MAINE. MODELS INDICATE
DEEPENING MOISTURE ROTATING SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE DAY
AND COMBINED WITH 500 MB TEMPS -18C SUGGESTS SCT TO NUMEROUS
SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP. WE WILL CARRY LIKELY POPS FROM S NH SOUTH
THROUGH CENTRAL AND NE MA WITH CHC POPS ELSEWHERE. THE COLD TEMPS
ALOFT WILL PROMOTE DECENT MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND GFS INDICATES
SBCAPES AROUND 1000 J/KG WITH TT INCREASING INTO LOWER 50S N ZONES
SO SCT TSTMS A GOOD BET AS WELL. WIND FIELD IS RATHER LIGHT WITH
WEAK SHEAR SO SEVERE WX IS NOT EXPECTED...BUT CANT RULE OUT SMALL
HAIL WITH ANY SHOWERS/TSTMS GIVEN COLD TEMPS ALOFT.

TEMPS WILL BE SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL TODAY WITH INCREASING
CLOUD COVER. BLENDED THE MOS GUIDANCE WITH THE BIAS CORRECTED
GRIDS WHICH YIELDS MAXES RANGING FROM THE MID/UPPER 60S HIGHER
TERRAIN TO LOWER 70S COASTAL PLAIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
TONIGHT...
MID LEVEL LOW SLOWLY LIFTS INTO MAINE. DIURNAL CONVECTION SHOULD
GRADUALLY DIMINISH DURING THE EVENING...BUT WILL HANG ON TO CHC
POPS THROUGH THE NIGHT...ESPECIALLY N ZONES CLOSEST TO THE COLD
POOL. PARTIAL CLEARING EXPECTED NEAR THE COAST.

WEDNESDAY...
VERTICALLY STACKED LOW PRESSURE WILL MEANDER ACROSS MAINE WITH
DEEP CYCLONIC FLOW AND MOISTURE PERSISTING ACROSS THE REGION
RESULTING IN LOTS OF CLOUDS. TEMPS ALOFT MODERATE A BIT SO
INSTABILITY AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL BE LESS. SCT SHOWERS
SHOULD DEVELOP AGAIN DURING THE DAY...ESPECIALLY N ZONES BUT
COVERAGE SHOULD BE LESS WITH NO THUNDER. TEMPS WILL BE CLOSER TO
SEASONABLE NORMALS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

  * UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD
  * WARMER WEATHER ARRIVES LATE IN THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND

OVERVIEW...
DECENT AGREEMENT AMONGST THE MODELS WITH THIS FORECAST.  UPPER
TROUGH LINGERS IN THE REGION THROUGH THURSDAY WHEN IT MOVES
OFFSHORE.  THIS WILL KEEP SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND IN AN UNSETTLED AND
COOLER WEATHER PATTERN.  FOLLOWING THIS...THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN
WILL BECOME ZONAL AND REMAIN THAT WAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND.  MONDAY A
WEAK UPPER TROUGH MAY MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  THERE ARE
STILL MINOR DISCREPANCIES IN THE FORECAST BUT OVERALL GOOD
CONFIDENCE.

DETAILS...
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...WITH UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE
NORTHEAST AND CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER MAINE...UNSETTLED WEATHER
EXPECTED THROUGH THIS PERIOD.  NORTHWEST FLOW WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES
BELOW NORMAL FOR LATE JUNE.  MAIN CONCERN WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY AFTERNOON.  BELIEVE THE BEST
CHANCE WILL BE IN THE NORTHERN ZONES...CLOSER TO THE UPPER LOW.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND...WILL SEE A RETURN TO WARMER...MORE HUMID
WEATHER AS THE UPPER LOW LIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST.  WHILE THE
PROBABILITY OF SHOWERS WILL GO DOWN A BIT...THERE WILL STILL BE
ENOUGH MOISTURE...AND CERTAINLY ENOUGH DIURNAL HEATING FOR SHOWERS
AND POSSIBLY ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS.  TEMPERATURES CLIMB INTO THE
MID TO UPPER 80S TO POSSIBLY EVEN THE LOWER 90S DURING THIS TIME.

MONDAY...MODELS INDICATE WEAK LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH QUEBEC
WILL BRING A COLD FRONT THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  THIS WILL
LIKELY RESULT IN SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL AS A BIT OF
RELIEF FROM THE WARM TEMPERATURES.

&&

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

OVERVIEW...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.
EXPECTING MAINLY VFR TO DOMINATE THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT...WITH THE
ONLY CAVEAT BEING SOME MVFR CIGS LINGERING OVER KACK THROUGH THIS
EVENING. A FEW SHRA AND ISOLD TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING MAY
BRIEFLY ALLOW CIGS/VSBYS TO DIP TO MVFR BUT FOR NOW HAVE GONE WITH
A DRY TAF AS THE BEST THREAT WILL BE TERMINALS IN NRN MA AND SRN
NH AND IT WILL BE SCATTERED IN COVERAGE. THIS THREAT IS ALSO
POSSIBLE AGAIN DURING THE AFTERNOON WED...BUT IT IS A LOWER
PROBABILITY OVER ALL.

FLOW WILL BE NW TODAY...SHIFTING TO MORE WLY TOMORROW WITH A FEW
GUSTS TO 20 KT DURING THE AFTERNOON BOTH DAYS.

KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
VFR EXPECTED TO BE THE DOMINANT CATEGORY THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT.
THERE IS THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF AN ISOLD SHRA/TSTM WITH BRIEF
REDUCTION TO MVFR THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...AND AGAIN WED
AFTERNOON...BUT GIVEN THE LOW PROBABILITY HAVE GONE WITH A DRY TAF
FOR NOW. WINDS MAY GUST TO 20 KT AT TIMES DURING THE AFTERNOON
TODAY AND TOMORROW.

KBDL TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD. LOW PROB OF A BRIEF SHOWER/TSTM THIS
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...BUT PROBABILITY IS LOW.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...

MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  MAINLY VFR WITH BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR IN SCT
SHOWERS AND ISOLD TSTMS.

&&

.MARINE...
MODERATE CONFIDENCE. NW WIND GUSTS WILL LIKELY APPROACH 25 KT LATE
TODAY INTO WEDNESDAY...ESPECIALLY OVER S COASTAL WATERS AS LOW
PRES DEEPENS IN THE GULF OF MAINE. WE ISSUED A SCA FOR TONIGHT
INTO WED OVER THE OUTER SOUTHERN WATERS FOR SEAS BUILDING TO 5+
FT BUT MAY ALSO HAVE WIND GUSTS CLOSE TO SCA THRESHOLDS.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...

MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  PLEASANT BOATING WEATHER MOST OF THE TIME.
THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH
AFTERNOON.  OTHERWISE...WINDS WILL REMAIN BELOW 25 KTS.  SEAS ON THE
OUTER WATERS WILL REACH 5 FEET AT TIMES BUT NOT FOR AN EXTENDED
PERIOD.
