AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
111 PM EDT TUE MAY 29 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
WARM FRONT WILL REMAIN DRAPED ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TODAY AS A
COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THE FRONT WILL SLOWLY CROSS THE
REGION LATE TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. A SECONDARY COLD FRONT WILL
DROP SOUTH THROUGH THE REGION ON THURSDAY FOLLOWED BY HIGH
PRESSURE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT
OFFSHORE FRIDAY NIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.
LOW PRESSURE LIFTING NORTHEAST OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES WILL DRIVE A
COLD FRONT TOWARD NEW ENGLAND ON SATURDAY. THE FRONT WILL CROSS
THE AREA ON SUNDAY. A WEAK AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN
FROM THE WEST ON MONDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
UPDATE...
SCA CONDS ON THE COASTAL WATERS. HAVE UPDATED MARINE FCST IN
SECTION BELOW TO ACCOUNT FOR BUILDING WAVES...LOW VSBYS AND GUSTY
WINDS.
PREV DISC...
THE NOCTURNAL CONVECTIVE REMAINS WILL EXIT THE CWA IN THE NEXT
COUPLE OF HRS...AS WEAK S/WV TROF PUSHES EWD. BEHIND IT WIDESPREAD
CLEARING SHOULD OCCUR. HOWEVER...MARINE LYR WILL HANG TOUGH IN
ONSHORE FLOW. WARM FNT NOW DRAPED FROM KSLK TO KGFL TO KORH WILL
BEGIN TO MAKE PROGRESS NEWD. THE COMBINATION OF DAYTIME HEATING
ERODING THE MARINE FOG/STRATUS AND PRES FALLS TO THE N WILL LIFT
THE FNT INTO MOST OF NH.
HI-RES/SHORT TERM MODEL GUIDANCE PUTS MOST OF THE THE STATE INTO
THE WARM SECTOR BY THIS AFTN. STRONG HEATING COMBINED WITH
DEWPOINTS APPROACHING THE LOW 70S...KGFL 73 DEGREES AT 10
AM!...WILL RESULT IN MODERATE INSTABILITY WITH MLCAPE VALUES NEAR
2500 J/KG. THE REMNANT ELEVATED MIXED LYR WILL BE MODERATING WITH
TIME TODAY...BUT LAPSE RATES IN THE MID LVLS WILL REMAIN NEAR 7
DEG C/KM. ADDITIONALLY...THE STRONG SFC HEATING WILL CREATE STEEP
LAPSE RATES BLO 3 KM...CREATING INVERTED V TYPE SOUNDINGS
ESPECIALLY ACROSS SWRN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. AS NEXT S/WV TROF
IGNITES TSTMS ACROSS CNTRL NY CONDS ACROSS NH WILL FAVOR LARGE HAIL
AND DMGG WINDS AS STORMS ENTER THE CT RIVER VALLEY LATE AFTN/EVE.
CHANNELED FLOW IN THE CT RIVER VALLEY...AND THE PRESENCE OF
SHARPLY DEFINED LLVL BOUNDARY WILL CREATE A THREAT FOR ISOLD
TORNADOES WITH ANY SFC BASED STORM CROSSING THE FNT.
FINALLY...PWAT VALUES AOA 1.50 INCHES WILL SUPPORT HEAVY RAFL WITH
TSTMS. FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES TO LOOK GOOD...WITH MUCH OF NRN
NH AND ADJACENT ME RECEIVING 1 TO 4 INCHES OF RA OVERNIGHT.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
SHORT WAVE TROUGH APPROACHES FROM THE WEST THIS AFTERNOON AND
HEIGHTS BEGIN TO FALL. THUNDERSTORMS WILL REDEVELOP ACROSS NEW
YORK...VERMONT AND NEW HAMPSHIRE BY MID AFTERNOON AS FORCING FOR
ASCENT INCREASES. SOME OF THESE STORMS WILL LIKELY BE SEVERE AS
WELL AND ENHANCED WORDING HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE FORECAST MAINLY
FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. THE EASTWARD EXTENT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS
UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME DUE TO LOW LEVEL STABILITY IN MAINE AS THE
WARM FRONT REMAINS TO THE WEST. HOWEVER...GIVEN STRONG DEEP LAYER
SHEAR AND STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...LARGE HAIL WOULD BE
POSSIBLE IN ANY STRONGER STORMS THAT APPROACH THE COAST. PWATS
REMAIN HIGH...SO TRAINING STORMS WOULD PRESENT A FLASH FLOOD
THREAT...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT SAW HEAVY RAIN THIS MORNING.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
COLD FRONTAL TROUGH WILL GRADUALLY CROSS THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY.
MUCH OF THE ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BE
OFFSHORE BY WEDNESDAY MORNING...BUT LINGERING INSTABILITY ACROSS
SOUTHERN ZONES MAY BE ENOUGH TO POP OFF AN AFTERNOON SHOWER OR
THUNDERSTORM IN SOUTHERN ZONES. SHOULD SEE A FAIR AMOUNT OF SUN BY
LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON WITH HIGHS REACHING MID 70S TO MID 80S
ACROSS THE REGION.
SHORTWAVE APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL DRIVE
A SECONDARY COLD FRONT TOWARD THE REGION. WILL SEE INCREASING CLOUDS
IN NORTHERN ZONES TOWARD DAYBREAK BUT APPEARS ANY ASSOCIATED SHOWER
ACTIVITY WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL DURING THE DAY THURSDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH THROUGH THE REGION ON THURSDAY WITH
LITTLE MORE THAN VARIABLE CLOUDS AND INCREASING NORTHWEST WINDS IN
THE AFTERNOON IN MOST LOCATIONS. BEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL BE IN
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF MAINE ALONG WITH NORTHERN NEW
HAMPSHIRE IN THE AFTERNOON. LOOKING FOR HIGHS FROM THE 60S NORTH
TO THE LOWER TO MID 70S SOUTH.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE FRONT THURSDAY NIGHT AND
FRIDAY. THIS WILL WILL PROVIDE A MOSTLY SUNNY AND MILD FRIDAY ACROSS
THE REGION.
CLOSED LOW STILL SET TO DAMPEN THE WEEKEND WEATHER...HOWEVER SOME
TIMING DIFFS SHOWING UP AND WOULD EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE AS THE
MODELS CONTINUE TO ZERO IN ON THE EVOLUTION OF THIS SYSTEM.
&&
.AVIATION /17Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHORT TERM...MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS FROM TIME TO TIME TODAY AND
TONIGHT IN NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. LARGE HAIL POSSIBLE
IN THE STRONGEST STORMS.
LONG TERM...VFR WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...SCAS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH THIS EVENING. SEAS HAVE COME UP AND ARE VERY CHOPPY.
BACKDOOR FRONT CONTS TO PRESS WESTWARD AS IT RETROGRADES.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL REDUCE VSBYS AND BE THE CAUSE FOR
LOCALLY ROUGH CONDITIONS.
LONG TERM...SCA LEVEL WINDS POSSIBLE LATE SATURDAY.
&&
.GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
ME...FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL MIDNIGHT EDT TONIGHT FOR MEZ007-012.
NH...FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL MIDNIGHT EDT TONIGHT FOR NHZ001>006.
