Special Weather Statement, NWS Boston/Norton, MA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
735 PM EDT SUN AUG 5 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL BRING SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT.
A SECOND ROUND OF STORMS MAY OCCUR DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY IN
RHODE ISLAND AND SOUTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS. DRY WEATHER WILL FOLLOW
THROUGH MID WEEK...BEFORE THE HUMIDITY RETURNS WITH SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BY THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
730 PM UPDATE...
FIRST BATCH OF STORMS WEAKENED AS THEY ENCOUNTERED A MORE STABLE
AIRMASS ACROSS RI AND EASTERN MA...WHERE LATEST MESOANALYSIS SHOWS
A LACK OF INSTABILITY.

NEXT LINE OF STORMS WAS ALREADY APPROACHING WESTERN NEW ENGLAND.
AIRMASS IS STILL UNSTABLE TO SOME DEGREE ACROSS CT VALLEY BUT HAS
BEEN WORKED OVER BY EARLIER CONVECTION. THEREFORE WE THINK
GREATEST THREAT WILL BE HEAVY RAINFALL AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING WITH
THIS LINE...ALTHOUGH THERE MAY ALSO BE POCKETS OF STRONG WIND
GUSTS /30-40KT/. THIS LINE SHOULD ALSO WEAKEN AS IT ENTERS RI AND
CENTRAL/EASTERN MA LATER THIS EVENING.

YET A THIRD LINE OF STORMS WAS MOVING ACROSS NORTHERN NY AND MAY
CLIP SW NH LATER THIS EVENING WITH HEAVY RAIN AND FREQUENT
LIGHTNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
EXPECTING A COLD FRONT TO SLOWLY MOVE OUT TO SEA DURING THE DAY.
HAVE THE GREATEST RISK OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS RI AND
SOUTHEAST MA...AS THEY SHOULD BE ON THE WARM SIDE OF THE COLD
FRONT TO START THE DAY. WITH DRIER AIR ARRIVING FROM THE
NORTHWEST...MOST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SHOULD BE RAIN-FREE
DURING THE AFTERNOON.

USED A BLEND OF THE MAV/MET GUIDANCE FOR TEMPERATURES ONCE AGAIN.

&&

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

* DRY THROUGH MID WEEK
* HUMIDITY RETURNS LATE IN WEEK WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS/STORMS

DETAILS...
MON NIGHT AND TUE...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER NEW ENGLAND MON NIGHT/TUE WITH
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. SEA BREEZES EXPECTED ALONG E AND S COASTS TUE
AFTERNOON AS GRADIENT REMAINS WEAK. AIRMASS REMAINS DRY WITH
DEWPOINTS IN 50S TO NEAR 60 WHICH WILL OFFER A BREAK FROM THE
RECENT HIGH HUMIDITY. BLENDED GFS/NAM MOS WHICH YIELDS LOWS IN 50S
AND LOWER 60S MON NIGHT AND TUE NIGHT...AND HIGHS MOSTLY IN 80S
TUE. SHOULD BE IDEAL RADIATIONAL COOLING MON NIGHT WHEN SOME OF
NORMALLY COOLER VALLEYS DROP CLOSE TO 50.

WED THROUGH SAT...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE
PATTERN BECOMES MORE ACTIVE LATER IN WEEK AS MEDIUM RANGE MODELS
SHOW TROUGH DIGGING INTO UPPER GREAT LAKES WHICH EVENTUALLY CLOSES
OFF AND LIFTS THROUGH SOUTHERN ONTARIO AND QUEBEC. S/SW FLOW
SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD WITH INCREASE IN
HUMIDITY ONCE AGAIN...POSSIBLY WITH 70+ DEWPOINTS RETURNING BY
WEEKEND.

MODELS SEEM TO BE TOO QUICK TO BRING SHOWERS/STORMS BACK INTO
PICTURE SO CONTINUED WITH DRY WEATHER WED WITH A LACK OF FOCUS FOR
CONVECTION. SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE MORE
PROBABLE THU THRU SAT AS LOW PRESSURE HEADS SLOWLY E FROM GREAT
LAKES AND FRONT LIFTS N ACROSS NEW ENGLAND.

STAYED CLOSE TO HPC/GMOS BLEND. SHOULD GET WELL INTO 80S WED/THU
BEFORE MORE CLOUD COVER KEEPS TEMPERATURES MORE TOWARD LOWER 80S
FRI/SAT...BUT HIGHER HUMIDITY WILL CERTAINLY MAKE IT MORE
UNCOMFORTABLE.

SUN...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE.
FOLLOWED HPC GUIDANCE DUE TO MORE UNCERTAINTY IN MODELS WHICH BRINGS
COLD FRONT THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SUN MORNING. THIS SHOULD
ALLOW FOR CLEARING AND DRIER AIR TO WORK INTO REGION DURING DAY.

&&

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

OVERVIEW...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

MVFR/IFR WITH LINE OF TSTMS ENTERING CT VALLEY...BUT STORMS SHOULD
WEAKEN AS THEY REACH RI AND EASTERN MA. EXPECT AREAS OF MVFR/IFR
TONIGHT AS LOW CLOUDS/FOG REFORM...WITH LIFR AROUND CAPE COD AND
ISLANDS. COLD FRONT WITH WIND SHIFT TO W REACHES CT VALLEY 09Z MON...
PVD/BOS 10-11Z AND CAPE COD BY 14Z. SHOULD SEE RAPID IMPROVEMENT
TO VFR A COUPLE OF HOURS AFTER WIND SHIFT.

KBOS TAF...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
PREVAILING SW FLOW SHOULD KEEP LOWER CIGS/VSBYS S OF TERMINAL...
BUT SOME QUESTION HOW LOW CONDITIONS GET WITH SHOWERS ARRIVING
LATER THIS EVENING. ISOLD TSTM POSSIBLE 03-04Z.

KBDL TAF...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
ONCE LINE OF TSTMS PASSES...CONDITIONS MAY FALL LOWER THAN
FORECAST WITH MVFR OR EVEN IFR CIGS AFTER 03Z.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...

MONDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
VFR. SEA BREEZE EXPECTED TUE AFTERNOON.

THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
MVFR/IFR POSSIBLE IN SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS. IFR/LIFR POSSIBLE AROUND
CAPE COD AND ISLANDS IN FOG.

&&

.MARINE...
MODERATE CONFIDENCE TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT.

INCREASING S WINDS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A COLD FRONT
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. GUSTS UP TO 25 KT. THE STRONGEST WIND
GUSTS WILL LIKELY BE ACROSS SOME OF THE NEAR SHORE WATERS DUE TO
BETTER MIXING OVER THE ADJACENT LAND. ALONG THE OPEN SOUTH
COASTAL WATERS...SEAS WILL ALSO BE AN ISSUE AS THEY SLOWLY BUILD
TO 5 OR 6 FT...HIGHEST SOUTH AND EAST OF CAPE COD AND ISLANDS.
CHANCE OF A TSTM WELL AFTER MIDNIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING ACROSS
THE SOUTH COASTAL WATERS.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...

MODERATE CONFIDENCE. DIMINISHING WINDS AND SEAS MON NIGHT AND TUE AS
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER WATERS. SEA BREEZES LIKELY TUE. FLOW
BECOMES S/SW WED THRU FRI WITH SLOWLY BUILDING SEAS ON S COASTAL
WATERS BUT CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SCA. SHOULD SEE LATE NIGHT
AND MORNING FOG/LOW CLOUDS WITH REDUCED VISIBILITY AND EVENTUALLY
SHOWERS/STORMS BY FRI AS FRONT APPROACHES FROM W.
