AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
402 AM EDT FRI AUG 9 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN TODAY WHICH MAY
LEAD TO BRIEF FLOODING FOR PARTS OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. WET
WEATHER WILL EXIT OFFSHORE AS A COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE
REGION TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
THIS WEEKEND WITH DRY/PLEASANT/SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES. ANOTHER
COLD FRONT MAY BRING A FEW SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION
TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...BUT A WASHOUT IS NOT EXPECTED. DRY
WEATHER RETURNS FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
150 AM UPDATE...
EASTERN EDGE OF PRECIP ACROSS E MA/E PA INTO N NJ EVER SO SLOWLY
CREEPING E OVER THE LAST FEW HOURS...THOUGH THAT PRECIP IS STILL
TENDING TO WEAKEN AS IT SHIFTS INTO THE REGION. CLOUDS ARE
LOWERING BUT NOT MUCH FOG TO SPEAK OF ACROSS THE REGION AT 05Z.
HAVE BACKED OFF CHANCE-LIKELY POPS A LITTLE LATER...MORE TOWARD
08Z OR SO ACROSS WESTERN AREAS.

REMAINDER OF GRIDS UPDATED TO BRING CONDITIONS CURRENT.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
THE MAIN CHANGE TO THE FORECAST WAS TO REDUCE POPS FOR THE FIRST
PART OF THE NIGHT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS
NEW YORK STATE AND PA...BUT WERE STRUGGLING TO MOVE EAST. SPC
MESO-ANALYSIS SHOWING MLCAPE VALUE OF 1000 TO 1500 J/KG ALONG
WITH 0 TO 6 KM SHEAR OF 25 TO 30 KNOTS ACROSS THE REGION.
HOWEVER...MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE POOR AND THERE IS NOT MUCH OF
A MECHANISM TO TRIGGER CONVECTION. MAY SEE A SPOT SHOWER OR
THUNDERSTORM THIS EVENING ACROSS OUR INTERIOR ZONES...BUT DON/T
SEE MUCH MORE THAN THAT. THEREFORE...EXPECT THE FIRST PART OF THE
NIGHT TO FEATURE MAINLY DRY WEATHER. SHOULD SEE THE THREAT FOR
SHOWERS AND A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS INCREASE WELL AFTER
MIDNIGHT ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE INTERIOR. SEE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION
BELOW:

DIFFLUENCE INCREASING ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE JET STREAK
ROTATING AROUND THE DEEP LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN HUDSON BAY REGION
AFTER 07Z. CONTINUED TROPICAL SOUTHWEST MOIST FLOW WITHIN THE
LOW TO MID LEVELS IN RESPONSE...AIDED BY A LOW-LEVEL JET AROUND
H85. THE TWO AIR STREAMS WILL LIKELY COMBINE IN REGIONS LEADING TO
LOCALIZED AREAS OF CONVERGENCE...DEEP LAYER ASCENT...AND POCKETS
OF HEAVY RAIN. BIG QUESTION IS WHERE THIS CONVERGENCE WILL SET UP.
AT 05Z...LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BE A BIT FURTHER N THAN PREVIOUS
THINKING. ANOTHER REASON TO BACK OFF ON PRECIP THREAT OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SATURDAY/...
TODAY...

MAIN PACIFIC ENERGY ROTATES THROUGH THE LONGWAVE FLOW AROUND THE
HUDSON BAY REGION LOW. ENHANCED ASCENT BENEATH THE STRONG DIFFLUENCE
ALOFT WILL PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENT OF DEEP-LAYER ASCENT...ESPECIALLY
BENEATH AREAS OF CONVERGENCE OF THE SOUTHWEST H85 TROPICAL MOISTURE
TRANSPORT OVER NEW ENGLAND. STILL UNCERTAIN ON WHERE HEAVY RAIN
THREATS WILL MATERIALIZE...SHOULD BE MAINLY ACROSS NEW ENGLAND
DURING THIS TIME...IT JUST REMAINS DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT EXACTLY
WHERE...BUT NEVERTHELESS FEEL AREAS COULD SEE UP TO 1 INCH IN A
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AHEAD OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT.
AGAIN...NOT GOING TO GO WITH ANY FLOOD HEADLINES...BUT CAN NOT
RULE OUT NUISANCE FLOODING.

H925-85 WINDS WILL ENHANCE UP TO 40 KTS AHEAD OF THE CONTINUED
SLOWLY APPROACHING COLD FRONT...ESPECIALLY THROUGH CENTRAL AND
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND. MODEL FORECAST HODOGRAPH PROFILES EXHIBIT SOME
INCREDIBLE TURNING WITHIN 0-3 KM. BUT CONSIDERING LAPSE RATES CLOSE
TO 5 C/KM...AND INSTABILITY POTENTIALLY LACKING WITH CONSIDERABLE
CLOUD COVER...AM NOT CERTAIN WITH GUSTY TO DAMAGING WIND THREATS...
EVEN THE POSSIBILITY OF A BRIEF SPIN UP TORNADO. WORTH MENTIONING
AND WATCHING OUT FOR NEVERTHELESS

PWATS REMAIN IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES. WILL NOT MENTION GUSTY WINDS IN
THE FORECAST BUT WILL CONTINUE THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT FOR THOSE AREAS
WITH LIKELY POPS.

TONIGHT...

STRONG VORTMAX ROTATES THROUGH THE HUDSON BAY LOW ACTING AS A KICKER
AS COOLER AND DRIER AIR PUSHES INTO THE NORTHEASTERN CONUS FROM THE
REAR. WILL SEE THE SURFACE COLD FRONT PUSH SOUTH AND EAST TO THE NEW
ENGLAND SHORELINE BY SATURDAY MORNING IN RESPONSE. WILL SEE THE BULK
OF THE HEAVY RAIN DIMINISH /LESSER FLOOD THREAT AS BETTER DYNAMICS
PUSH NORTH AND WEST/ AS THE LAST OF THE SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS PUSH OFFSHORE...BEST POP CHANCES WILL BE ACROSS
SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF NEW ENGLAND.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

BIG PICTURE/PREFERENCES... SUBTROPICAL RIDGE HOLDS ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN USA AND BUILDS OVER THE ROCKIES INTO WESTERN CANADA.
CLOSED UPPER LOW RIDES THROUGH EASTERN CANADA.  A SHORTWAVE DRIVES
SOUTH FROM THE CANADIAN ARCTIC AND GRABS THE OTHER LOW...FORMING A
CLOSED CIRCULATION THAT ROTATES AROUND NORTHERN QUEBEC. THE RIDGE
WEST/TROUGH EAST PATTERN MAINTAINS THROUGH MOST OF NEXT WEEK.

THE ECMWF DIGS A LITTLE DEEPER AND FARTHER SOUTH WITH THE SECOND
SHORTWAVE THAN DOES THE GFS.  IT IS ALSO A LITTLE SLOWER WITH THE
PASSAGE OF ITS ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT.
THERMAL FIELDS ALOFT ARE A COUPLE OF DEGREES COOLER ON THE ECMWF VS
THE GFS THIS WEEKEND...AND EVEN A LITTLE MORE COOLER MID TO LATE
WEEK NEXT WEEK.

OUR MAIN PREFERENCE WAS HPC/WPC GRIDS WHERE AVAILABLE...A BLEND OF
ECMWF/GFS GRIDS OTHERWISE.

THE DAILIES...

SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY... AS THE CLOSED LOW PASSES TO OUR NORTH
ACROSS CANADA...IT DRIVES A COLD FRONT OFFSHORE EARLY SATURDAY.  BY
SUNRISE WE EXPECT THIS TO BE MOVING OFFSHORE BUT COULD STILL BE
CLOSE ENOUGH FOR A LINGERING SHOWER OR TSTM ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.
OTHERWISE THE TREND FOR SATURDAY WILL BE CLEARING WITH DECREASING
DEWPOINTS.  MOS WAS A TAD LIGHT ON POST FRONTAL WINDS...LAPSE RATES
SHOW MIXING REACHING UP INTO 20 KNOT NORTHWESTERS AND 25 KNOTS WOULD
NOT BE A SURPRISE. WE ADJUSTED GUST VALUES ACCORDINGLY.

HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE MIDWEST BUILDS IN FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
EXPECT DRY WEATHER. MOISTURE FIELDS DO SUGGEST SOME CLOUDS PART OF
THE TIME BUT NO PRECIPITATION.  THE GFS SHOWS MIXING REACHING TO 850
MB EACH DAY...BUT THE MODEL TENDS TO UNDERFORECAST THE ACTUAL DEPTH.
THE NAM MIXES TO 825 MB SATURDAY AND 850 MB SUNDAY.  WE ASSUMED
MIXING TO 800 MB INLAND WHERE TEMPS ARE 8C SAT AND SUN...AND 10C
MONDAY.  SO MAX TEMPS SHOULD REACH THE LOW TO MID 80S INLAND.  LIGHT
FLOW WILL ALLOW SEABREEZES TO DEVELOP SUNDAY.  NOT SURE ABOUT MONDAY.

TUESDAY... THE SHORTWAVE FROM THE FAR NORTH SWINGS EAST ACROSS
CANADA ON TUESDAY. THE GFS HAS THIS BRINGING A SURFACE COLD FRONT
THROUGH NEW ENGLAND TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. THE ECMWF...BEING
DEEPER ALOFT...IS ALSO SLOWER BRINGING THE COLD FRONT ACROSS NEW
ENGLAND WITH TIMING MORE LIKE TUESDAY NIGHT.  EITHER WAY...THE FRONT
HAS UPPER SUPPORT FROM THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF A 95 KNOT JET.
PRECIP WATER VALUES JUMP BACK TO AROUND 1.5 INCHES. PUT IT
TOGETHER...EXPECT A CHANCE OF SHOWERS WITH THE FROPA.

WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY... HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION WITH A
RETURN TO DRY AIR AND NO PRECIP. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL MEAN COOLER
TEMPS ALOFT...THE ECMWF HAS 850 TEMPS 10C WEDNESDAY AND 7C THURSDAY.
SEASONABLE TO SEASONABLY COOL TEMPS WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 70S AND
LOWS IN THE 50S...POSSIBLY A FEW HIGH 40S.

.AVIATION /08Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

OVERVIEW /THROUGH TONIGHT/...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

THROUGH 12Z...MAINLY MVFR-IFR CIGS ACROSS CT VALLEY INTO CENTRAL
MA/N CT/RI AND S COASTAL AREAS...AND VFR BECOMING MVFR-IFR
REMAINDER OF REGION BY 07Z-08Z. VSBYS REMAIN VFR...THOUGH MAY SEE
POCKETS OF MVFR WITH PATCHY FOG AROUND OR AFTER 08Z.

TODAY...MAINLY MVFR-IFR CIGS. LOCAL MVFR VSBYS IN PATCHY FOG.
WIDESPREAD RAIN WITH EMBEDDED HEAVIER SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE TSRA.
LIKELY TEMPO IFR-MVFR VSBYS WITH +RA/TSRA. THINKING CIGS AROUND
MVFR. WILL SEE CONTINUED GUSTY S/SW FLOW.

GRADUAL CLEARING TREND TONIGHT WITH COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. WINDS
BACKING OUT OF THE W/NW WITH IMPROVEMENT TO VFR.

KBOS TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. WILL KEEP TERMINAL DRY
INTO MID MORNING.

KBDL TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

SATURDAY...LINGERING MVFR VSBYS CAPE AND ISLANDS AT SUNRISE. MOST
AREAS SHOULD BE VFR AND THE TREND IN ANY CASE WILL BE IN THAT
DIRECTION.  NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY WITH 20-KNOTS EXPECTED
AND 25 KNOTS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. THE STRONGER GUSTS WILL BE
MAINLY AFTERNOON AND THEN DIMINISH IN THE EVENING.

SUNDAY-MONDAY...VFR WITH LIGHT WINDS.  SEA BREEZES ALONG THE COAST
WITH DAYTIME WIND SHIFTS TO SOUTHEAST AT BOSTON AND POSSIBLY
PROVIDENCE. PATCHY LOW VSBYS IN EARLY MORNING FOG EACH DAY.

TUESDAY...COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH DURING AFTERNOON OR EARLY NIGHT.
THIS MAY BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS WITH BRIEFLY LOWER CIGS AND
VSBYS. OTHERWISE VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

OVERVIEW /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

WITH APPROACHING COLD FRONT...WILL SEE AN INCREASE IN SW FLOW
WITH GUSTS EXCEEDING 25 KTS. PROLONGED FETCH WILL RESULT IN SEAS
UP TO 7-8 FEET...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS. INCREASING
