AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
441 PM EDT THU JUL 18 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MIDWEST AND ATLANTIC COAST WILL BRING
CONTINUED HOT AND HUMID WEATHER TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THROUGH
SATURDAY. ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ARE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING AND FRIDAY. SATURDAY...AS A STRONG COLD
FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE GREAT LAKES...THERE IS THE GREATER
THREAT FOR STORMS. RELIEF FROM THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL ARRIVE
ON SUNDAY AND LAST THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
4 PM UPDATE...
TSTMS THIS EVENING WILL REMAIN FOCUSED ACROSS NORTHEAST MA AND
NEARBY SOUTHERN NH WHERE CAP IS WEAKEST GIVEN LOWER HEIGHTS AND
SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS ALOFT ALONG WITH STRONGER WIND
FIELDS...ALBEIT MARGINAL. SEA BREEZE AS TRAVERSED WELL INLAND AND
WILL ACT AS A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION UNTIL SUNSET OR SO. THEREAFTER
TSTMS WILL DISSIPATE QUICKLY GIVEN THE LACK OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR
AND POOR MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES.
AS FOR TSTM HAZARDS...HEAVY RAIN /HIGH PWAT AIRMASS/ AND GUSTY
WINDS GIVEN INVERTED-V SIGNATURE ON MODEL SOUNDINGS IN RESPONSE TO
TO LARGE TEMP/DEW PT SPREAD AWAY FROM SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY.
ELSEWHERE MAINLY DRY/HOT CONDITIONS ACROSS CT AND RI THEN COOLING
OFF FARTHER EAST INTO EASTERN MA ON OTHER SIDE OF SEA BREEZE
BOUNDARY. VERY MUGGY WITH DEW PTS IN THE U60S AND L70S. THIS WILL
RESULT IN PATCHY DENSE FOG OVERNIGHT ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST
AND INTERIOR VALLEYS WHERE WINDS DECOUPLE.
ANOTHER VERY WARM NIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE L70S...WITH M70S IN THE
URBAN AREAS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
*** EXCESSIVE HEAT WITH NEAR RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES ***
AS MID LEVEL RIDGE BEGINS TO SLIDE SE OF NEW ENGLAND WAA INCREASES
THROUGHOUT THE COLUMN YIELDING H7 TEMPS WARMING FROM +9C TODAY TO
+11C TOMORROW. THIS SHOULD STRENGTHEN THE MLVL CAP. ALL MODELS
PICKING UP ON THIS WITH LITTLE IF ANY QPF BEING TRIGGERED FRI.
THIS SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN THE LACK OF ANY FORCING IN A CAPPED
ENVIRONMENT. THEREFORE WILL LIMIT POPS TO AN ISOLATED AFTN/LATE
DAY TSTM.
REGARDING TEMPS...850 TEMPS WARM TO +20C/+21C TOMORROW. THIS
COMBINED WITH GOOD MIXING VIA WSW BLYR WINDS WILL SUPPORT HIGHS
FRI 95-100 AWAY FROM THE SOUTH COAST! SOME LOCATIONS WILL APPROACH
RECORD HIGHS. SEE CLIMATE SECTION BELOW. THE ONLY GOOD NEWS IS
THAT AN INCREASING WSW WIND WITH GUSTS UP TO 25-30 MPH WILL HELP
TAKE THE EDGE OFF THE EXCESSIVE HEAT. HOWEVER THIS WILL BE MINIMAL
GIVEN THE HIGH DEW PT AIRMASS. NEVERTHELESS WITH NEAR RECORD HIGHS
OF 95-100 COMBINED WITH DEW PTS IN THE U60S AND L70S THERE IS A
MODERATE TO HIGH PROBABILITY OF A FEW HOURS OF HEAT INDICES OF
105+ ACROSS THE GREATER BOSTON AREA NORTHWARD INTO THE MERRIMACK
VALLEY OF SOUTHEAST NH. THUS AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING HAS BEEN
ISSUED FOR THIS AREA. ELSEWHERE A HEAT ADVISORY HAS BEEN POSTED
FOR HEAT INDICES OF 100-104F. CLOSER TO THE COAST SW WINDS SHOULD
KEEP HIGHS 85-90F WITH INDICES MU90S. THEREFORE WILL HOLD OFF ON
ANY ADVISORIES FOR NOW.
BEACH FORECAST...ANOTHER AWESOME BEACH DAY WITH HOT AND HUMID
CONDITIONS. TEMPS 85-90 ALONG WITH A GUSTY SSW WIND OF 15-25 MPH
WITH GUSTS TO 30 MPH POSSIBLE. THESE GUSTY WINDS WILL YIELD A
BUILDING CHOPPY SURF AND A MODERATE RISK OF RIPS ALONG THE SOUTH
COAST. OTHERWISE AN IDEAL BEACH DAY.
FRI NIGHT...
ANOTHER VERY WARM AND MUGGY NIGHT WITH LOWS 70-75 AND DEW PTS IN
THE U60S TO L70S. THIS WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER ROUND OF PATCHY DENSE
FOG. AN ISOLATED EARLY EVENING TSTM WILL DISSIPATE WITH SUNSET
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
BIG PICTURE/PREFERENCES...
THE DAILIES...
SATURDAY... MANY FAVORABLE SIGNS FOR TSTMS. COLD FRONT IN THE ST
LAWRENCE VALLEY WITH LEE TROUGH SETTING UP ACROSS NEW ENGLAND AND
THE MID ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN. FULL SUN EXPECTED THROUGH MIDDAY
WITH INCREASING CLOUDS AFTN. MIXING SHOULD REACH TO 800 MB WHERE
TEMPS ARE 14-16C...THIS WOULD SUPPORT SFC MAX TEMPS 93F-97F BUT
AFTERNOON CLOUDS MAY KEEP US A FEW DEGREES SHORT OF THIS. 90+ STILL
LOOKS GOOD IN LOWER ELEVATIONS AWAY FROM THE COAST.
THE 700 MB +10C RETREATS SOUTH DURING THE MORNING REMOVING THE LARGE
SCALE CAP. UPPER TROUGH AXIS SWINGS THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES WITH JET
OVER THE ST LAWRENCE VALLEY...AND THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF THE
JET MOVING OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. WINDS AT 850 MB ARE 25-30
KNOTS...WINDS AT 500 MB ARE 35-45 KNOTS WITH A CORE OF 50 KNOTS TO
OUR WEST AND NORTH. SBCAPE IS FORECAST IN EXCESS OF 2000 J/KG. MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATE IS AROUND 6.2C...COULD BE BETTER BUT ACCEPTABLE.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL BE AROUND 2 INCHES. WE WILL MAINTAIN
LIKELY POPS FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY NIGHT.
LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND SOME ENHANCED WORDING.
SUNDAY... COLD FRONT STARTS THE MORNING ALONG OR JUST SOUTH OF THE
SOUTH COAST/ISLANDS. UPPER FLOW IS CLOSE TO PARALLEL WITH THE
FRONT...BUT COULD BE ENOUGH CROSS FLOW TO NUDGE IT FARTHER SOUTH.
UPPER JET WILL MOVE OFF THROUGH THE MARITIMES DURING THE DAY...BUT
WE WILL REMAIN IN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION MUCH OF THE DAY. SOME
CONCERN WE COULD DESTABILIZE WITH DAYTIME HEATING...AND 850-800 MB
MOISTURE LINGERS. BUT HIGH PRESSURE IS BUILDING IN WITH SUBSIDENCE
AND MID LEVEL COLD ADVECTION IS RATHER SMALL. WILL EXPECT SOME
DAYTIME CLOUD DEVELOPMENT BUT LITTLE PCPN OUTSIDE OF WIDELY
SCATTERED SHOWERS SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE. TEMPS AT 850 MB IN THE
LOWER TEENS SO MAX TEMPS SHOULD BE IN THE LOW-MID 80S.
MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... COLD FRONT REMAINS STALLED TO OUR SOUTH
AROUND THE CHESAPEAKE BAY AREA. UPPER FLOW IS ROUGHLY ZONAL BUT
WITH EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES. EITHER THE SHORTWAVE COULD GENERATE A FEW
SHOWERS AS IT PASSES...OR IT COULD INDUCE A WAVE ON THE STALLED
FRONT TO OUR SOUTH AND SPREAD SHOWERS NORTH TO OUR COAST. CURRENT
MODEL TIMING WOULD BRING THESE SHORTWAVES THROUGH NEW ENGLAND
TUESDAY AND POSSIBLY THURSDAY. BUT SHORTWAVE TIMING IN THE LONG
RANGE PERIODS CAN AND WILL CHANGE. WE HAVE CHANCE OR SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH THE HIGHEST POPS ON TUESDAY AND
THURSDAY. TEMPS ARE A BLEND OF HPCGRIDS AND GMOS...850 TEMPS AROUND
12C MONDAY RISING TO 15-16C LATER IN WEEK SUGGEST MAX SURFACE TEMPS
UPPER 70S TO MID 80S.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.
MODERATE CONFIDENCE THROUGH FRIDAY...
THROUGH 00Z...
CONVECTION BEGINNING TO FIRE ACROSS SOUTHWEST NH. THIS WILL
CONTINUE TO EVOLVE INTO NORTHERN MA AND THEN MAY BLOSSOM ACROSS
THE I495 CORRIDOR OR NORTHEAST MA...ALONG SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY.
MAIN HAZARDS WITH STORMS WILL BE HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS. LESS
ACTIVITY ACROSS CT AND RI. ELSEWHERE ONSHORE WINDS WITH SEA BREEZE
ACROSS RI AND EASTERN MA.
AFTER 00Z...
ANY LINGERING TSTMS WILL DISSIPATE BY 01Z/02Z WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME
HEATING. THEN PATCHY MVFR STRATUS/FOG DEVELOP ALONG THE SOUTH
COAST AND INTERIOR VALLEYS. VFR ELSEWHERE.
FRI...
ANY PATCHY MVFR IN FOG WILL DISSIPATE BY 14Z YIELDING VFR
CONDITIONS. GUSTY WSW WINDS DEVELOPING DURING THE AFTERNOON WITH
GUSTS 25-30 KT LIKELY. LESS RISK OF TSTMS TOMORROW THAN TODAY WITH
AREAL COVERAGE ISOLATED.
FRI NIGHT...
SW FLOW WILL LIMIT MVFR CONDITIONS IN FOG TO THE SOUTH COAST. VFR
LKLY ELSEWHERE. SW WINDS REMAIN MODEST ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE
ISLANDS BUT SHOULD SLACKEN INLAND.
KBOS TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF TRENDS. SEA-BREEZE
WELL ESTABLISHED ALREADY AND WILL MAKE ITS NATURAL SHIFT TO S
TONIGHT THEN SW OVERNIGHT. VCTS LIKELY AFT 20Z. TSTMS MAY BACK
BUILD INTO CENTRAL MA AND SOUTHWEST NH WHERE HIGHER TEMPS ARE
LOCATED. LESS RISK OF TSTMS FRI. SSW FLOW TONIGHT SHOULD CONFINE
MVFR STRATUS/FOG TO SOUTH COAST OF MA/RI.
KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF. DID NOT PREVAIL VCTS AS
HIGHER RISK WILL BE TO THE NORTHEAST TOWARD ORH-FIT-MHT.
OUTLOOK...SATURDAY INTO TUESDAY...
MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
SATURDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY
NIGHT. PLENTY OF SUPPORT FOR TSTMS TO DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON,
TSTMS WILL TAP A VERY HUMID AIRMASS...SO HEAVY DOWNPOURS ARE
EXPECTED. ALSO STRONG WINDS ALOFT...SO STRONG POSSIBLY DAMAGING
WIND GUSTS POSSIBLE AS WELL. MOST LIKELY TIME IS FROM MID AFTERNOON
THROUGH EARLY NIGHT. WEST SOUTHWEST WINDS DURING THE DAY WITH NON-
THUNDERSTORM GUSTS 20-25 MPH POSSIBLE...SHIFTING TO NORTH AFTER
MIDNIGHT. VFR EXCEPT FOR BRIEF IFR POSSIBLE IN TSTMS AND IFR IN
MORNING FOG.
SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY... VFR WITH LIGHT EAST TO SOUTHEAST WIND. A
FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE TUESDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.
HIGH CONFIDENCE THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.
TONIGHT...
QUIET WEATHER WITH NOT MUCH WIND OR WAVE/SWELL. VSBY WILL LOWER
LATER TONIGHT IN PATCHY DENSE FOG. POSSIBLY EVENING TSTM FROM
MERRIMACK RIVER SOUTHWARD TO MA BAY.
FRI...
INCREASING SW WINDS WITH GUSTS UP TO 25-30 KT...HIGHEST NEAR
SHORE. TSTMS NOT EXPECTED. PATCHY DENSE FOG EARLY BURNS OFF BY MID
MORNING.
FRI NIGHT...
MODEST SSW WINDS CONTINUE. WINDS VEER TO MORE WSW WHICH WILL
LIKELY LIMIT FOG ESPECIALLY NEAR SHORE. THUS BETTER VSBY.
OUTLOOK...SATURDAY INTO TUESDAY...
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY... WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS MAY GUST TO 25 KNOTS
SATURDAY ESPECIALLY NEAR CAPE COD. A COLD FRONT WILL SWING SOUTH
ACROSS NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY...CROSSING THE WATERS SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY WITH THIS FRONT.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND MAY CAUSE STRONG OR
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. WINDS BECOME EAST TO NORTHEAST AND DIMINISH ON
SUNDAY. SEAS WILL BE 5 TO 7 FEET AHEAD OF THE FRONT...SUBSIDING
AFTER THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH.
MONDAY AND TUESDAY... HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND
BRINGING LIGHT EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS. LOW CONFIDENCE OF SHOWERS
TUESDAY.
