AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
401 PM EDT THU JUN 27 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
WARM AND MUGGY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE WITH HIT AND MISS SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. RAINFALL LOOKS TO BE THE
MOST WIDESPREAD THIS AFTERNOON INTO FRI...WITH THE THREAT FOR
HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
*** FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT STARTING THIS AFTERNOON. ***

THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE BEST INSTABILITY TO THE SOUTH AND ALONG
OUR WESTERN BORDER...AM NOT EXPECTING ANY WIDESPREAD
THUNDERSTORMS. AS PORTIONS OF OUR WESTERN ZONES HAVE BROKEN OUT
AND ARE SEEING SOME SUN...CAN/T RULE OUT ANY SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FROM DEVELOPING AND/OR MOVING INTO OUR AREA.
ELSEWHERE ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...THE MARINE LAYER HAS BEEN
STUBBORN AND HAS BEEN KEPT IN PLACE BY EASTERLY WINDS FROM THE
EAST COAST RIGHT BACK INTO THE WORCESTER HILLS. EVEN THE AREAS OF
THE CAPE THAT BROKE OUT FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS THIS AFTERNOON HAVE
BEEN SOCKED BACK IN. ALL THAT TO SAY...EXPECT MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY
THIS AFTERNOON TO BE LIMITED TO SOME BRIEF SHOWERS.

TONIGHT...CAN SEE A LARGE AREA OF RAIN MAINLY ACROSS WESTERN NEW
YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA. THIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH LOW PRESSURE THAT
HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS THE SAME AREA IN RESPONSE TO A SHORTWAVE
MOVING EASTWARD. THIS WILL AFFECT US LATER THIS EVENING INTO
TONIGHT AS A WARM FRONT JUST SOUTH OF THE REGION CURRENTLY MOVES
NORTHWARD. MODELS INDICATE THAT THE HIGHEST RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE
LIKELY TO REMAIN ACROSS EASTERN NEW YORK STATE. ACROSS SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND EXPECTING A WIDESPREAD ONE TO TWO INCHES WITH LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS IN ANY THUNDERSTORMS. A 925MB 40 TO 45 KT LOW
LEVEL JET WILL INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS
IN THE RAIN OVERNIGHT.  PWATS ARE STILL ON THE ORDER OF 1.5 TO 2
INCHES SO HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA. THE HIGHEST
RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED ON THE WESTERN FRINGES OF OUR CWA
ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES AND INTO NORTHWEST
MASSACHUSETTS. HAVE CONTINUED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE
POTENTIAL OF MOSTLY URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE FLASH FLOODING IN ANY
OF THE STRONGER STORMS. LARGER...MAIN STEM RIVERS AS WELL AS
SMALLER SLOWER RESPONDING STREAMS AND RIVERS ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN IN THEIR BANKS. MORE ON THE FLOODING THREAT CAN BE FOUND IN
THE HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW.

TEMPERATURES ARE A BLEND OF OUR BIAS CORRECTED MOS WHICH GIVES
LOW TEMPS IN THE 60S ACROSS THE REGION. ALONG WITH THE RAIN AND
THE HIGH DEWPOINTS WE ARE EXPECTING FOG TO DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN
OVERNIGHT. VISIBILITIES WILL BE VARIABLE AS SHOWERS MOVE THROUGH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...

FRIDAY...THE WARM FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH INTO NEW HAMPSHIRE FRIDAY
MORNING ALLOWING WINDS TO SHIFT BACK TO THE SOUTH. NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE WILL
GRADUALLY COME TO AN END THROUGH THE DAY. WITH THE LOW LEVEL JET
STILL IN PLACE...THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR SOME REDEVELOPMENT OF
STORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. HOWEVER...THIS WILL BE VERY
DEPENDENT ON SKIES CLEARING ENOUGH FOR DESTABILIZATION AS WELL AS
THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AVAILABLE IN THE LOW TO MID LEVELS OF THE
ATMOSPHERE. THERE IS A DECENT AMOUNT OF SHEAR AVAILABLE BUT IF THE
CLOUDS DON/T CLEAR OUT ENOUGH FOR SOME DESTABILIZATION IT WILL BE
DIFFICULT FOR ANY STORMS TO DEVELOP.

EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO BE SOMEWHAT WARMER THAN TODAY...
PARTICULARLY IN THE EASTERN ZONES...AS THE WINDS SHIFT TO THE
SOUTH. HOWEVER...IF THAT TAKES TOO LONG TO OCCUR OR CLOUD COVER
REMAINS IN PLACE...THESE HIGHER TEMPERATURES COULD BE DIFFICULT TO
ACHIEVE. ONCE AGAIN USED THE BIAS CORRECTED MOS FOR TEMPERATURES.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...

BIG PICTURE/PREFERENCES... UPPER RIDGES BUILD OVER THE WEST COAST
AND THE WESTERN ATLANTIC.  A SHORTWAVE MOVING OVER THE GREAT LAKES
DIGS OVER THE LAKES/MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND FORMS A CUTOFF LOW OVER
THAT AREA. THE UPPER LOW EVENTUALLY EJECTS INTO THE /CANADIAN/
WESTERLIES THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THE LONG RANGE MODELS ARE QUITE
SIMILAR IN MASS FIELDS DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD...SO WE USED A
BLEND OF THE AVAILABLE GRID DATA.

THE DAILIES...

FRIDAY NIGHT-SATURDAY... ONE SHORTWAVE LIFTS NORTH OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND FRIDAY NIGHT...BUT ANOTHER ROTATES AROUND THE GREAT LAKES
UPPER LOW AND CROSSES EASTERN NY/NEW ENGLAND ON SATURDAY.  THE
SUPPORTING UPPER JET FOR THE LATTER SHORTWAVE ENTERS OUR AREA FRIDAY
NIGHT WITH THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OVER US ON SATURDAY. THE FRIDAY
COLD FRONT STALLS OVER OR NEAR THE REGION AND PROVIDES A FOCUS FOR
LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE. PLENTY OF MOISTURE AVAILABLE WITH PW/S
BETWEEN 1.5 AND 2.0 INCHES...HIGHEST SOUTHEAST.  WE WILL FEATURE
BUILDING POPS WITH LIKELY VALUES STARTING ALONG THE SOUTH COAST
AFTER MIDNIGHT AND EXPANDING NORTHWEST DURING THE DAY.  WE WILL ALSO
MENTION LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS DUE TO THE HIGH PW VALUES.  MUGGY
AIR WITH DEWPOINTS 65 TO 70.

SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... NOT MUCH CHANGE IN THE UPPER PATTERN WITH
CLOSED LOW TO THE WEST AND UPPER RIDGE TO THE EAST...AND A MOIST
SOUTH FLOW CONTINUING TO SUPPLY HIGH PW AIR. WE WILL CONTINUE TO
FEATURE SHOWERS/TSTMS IN THE FORECAST WITH LIKELY POPS TRANSITIONING
TO CHANCE POPS.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

THROUGH 00Z...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS TO START
IN THE CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY WITH MOSTLY IFR AND A FEW SPOTS OF
MVFR OR EVEN VFR ACROSS THE REST OF THE REGION. HAVE SEEN SOME
CLOUD BREAKS OVER THE CAPE THAT HAVE ALLOWED CONDITIONS TO JUMP TO
VFR THERE. HOWEVER...SURROUNDED BY IFR CONDITIONS FEEL IT WILL NOT
BE LONG BEFORE THEY DROP BACK DOWN TO IFR. EXPECT THOSE AREAS THAT
ARE IFR TO REMAIN THERE THROUGH 00Z. AREAS WHERE VFR CONDITIONS
EXIST NOW ARE LIKELY TO DETERIORATE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS AS FIRST SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVE INTO THE
REGION AND THEN THE BULK OF THE RAIN FROM WESTERN NEW YORK MOVES
IN TOWARDS 00Z.

TONIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE ON TRENDS. LOW CONFIDENCE ON TIMING.
MORE WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT MOVING IN FROM
WEST TO EAST. CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN MAINLY IFR...POSSIBLY MVFR AT
TIMES.

FRIDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE
FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SOME
IMPROVEMENT MAY OCCUR DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM SOUTH
TO NORTH.

KBOS TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF. CONFIDENT IN OVERALL
TRENDS HOWEVER LOW CONFIDENCE IN TIMING.

KBDL TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF. LOWER CONFIDENCE IN
EXACT TIMING.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

PLENTY OF SHOWERS/TSTMS THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH PERIODS OF MVFR
CIGS/VSBYS IN SHOWERS...SOME OF THEM QUITE HEAVY.  THE VERY HUMID
AIRMASS WILL ALSO CARRY FOG AT NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING WITH IFR
CIGS/VSBYS IN ANY SUCH FOG. POTENTIAL FOR VSBYS NEAR 1/4 MILE AT
TIMES.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT-TERM THROUGH FRIDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

WIDESPREAD SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS AND HEAVY RAINFALL
WILL MOVE OVER THE WATERS LATE THIS EVENING AND CONTINUING INTO
FRIDAY MORNING. WINDS INCREASE TO 20 TO 25 KTS WITH GUSTS TO 30
KTS POSSIBLE AS A LOW LEVEL JET MOVES OVER THE REGION. HAVE
EXPANDED THE SCA FOR BOTH WIND AND SEAS TO INCLUDE THE OUTER
WATERS EAST OF MASSACHUSETTS UNTIL FRIDAY EVENING. HAVE UNDERCUT
WNA WAVE GUIDANCE BY ABOUT 10 PERCENT TO ACCOUNT FOR ITS SOUTHERLY
BIAS.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

A PERIOD OF SHOWERS/TSTMS/FOG AND HUMID AIR.  THE SHOWERS/TSTMS/FOG
WILL CREATE POOR VSBYS AT TIMES...AND 1/4 MILE VSBYS IN FOG POSSIBLE
EARLY EACH MORNING.  SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
WIND GUSTS MAY APPROACH 25 KNOTS AT TIMES FRIDAY
NIGHT/SATURDAY...BUT PRIMARILY 20 KNOTS OR LESS.  THE STEADY WIND
DIRECTION WILL HELP BUILD SEAS WITH WAVE HEIGHTS OF 5 TO 10 FEET
EXPECTED ON THE OUTER WATERS AND EXPOSED PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN
WATERS SUCH AS RI SOUND AND POSSIBLY BLOCK ISLAND SOUND. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY WILL BE NEEDED FOR THESE ROUGH SEAS THROUGH MIDWEEK.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WITH
PWATS BETWEEN 1.5 AND 2 TIMES THAT OF NORMAL. WITH SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ALONG A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY...EXPECT
HEAVY RAINFALL TO OCCUR WITH SLOW-MOVING...TRAINING CONVECTION
BEGINNING THIS EVENING AND CONTINUING INTO TONIGHT.

WILL NEED TO ESPECIALLY WATCH REGIONS OF HIGHER TERRAIN WHERE
UPSLOPE COULD ENHANCE THE RAINFALL AS WELL AS URBANIZED AREAS...
WHERE CONVECTIVE HEAVY RAIN MAY LEAD TO URBAN FLASH FLOODING.
GIVEN ALL OF THIS...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND INTO FRIDAY.

&&

.CLIMATE...
WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY WE WILL BE
