AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
321 PM EDT MON SEP 23 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL BRING DRY WEATHER
TO NEW ENGLAND THROUGH THE WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL START OFF
BELOW NORMAL AND GRADUALLY MODERATE TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL
LEVELS BY THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
THROUGH 8 PM...
HIGH PRESSURE PROVIDES MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
ENOUGH MIXING AND CLOUD-LEVEL MOISTURE TO SUPPORT A FEW FAIR
WEATHER CLOUDS UNTIL SUNSET. TEMPERATURES ALOFT 4-6C SHOULD
SUPPORT MAX SURFACE TEMPS IN THE 60S. MIXING WILL ALSO BRING SOME
OF THE WIND DOWN FROM 850 MB...WHERE SPEEDS ARE 20-25 KNOTS. THIS
WILL ALSO DIMINISH TOWARD SUNSET.

TONIGHT...
GENERALLY CLEAR SKIES TONIGHT. THE QUESTION WILL BE WHETHER WINDS
WILL DECOUPLE TONIGHT...WHICH WOULD ALLOW RADIATIONAL COOLING. THE
BEST CHANCE OF THIS WOULD BE INLAND AND ESPECIALLY IN AREAS
NORTH/WEST OF WORCESTER. AFTERNOON DEWPOINTS 36-40 IN THE INTERIOR
AND 40-44 ALONG THE COAST. SO ANY RADIATIONAL COOLING WOULD BRING
TEMPS DOWN TO FROST LEVELS PRIMARILY IN PARTS OF WESTERN/CENTRAL
MASS AND SOUTHWEST NH. MODEL AND MOS DATA SUGGEST WINDS IN THESE
AREAS WILL BECOME LIGHT...AND WINDS THIS MORNING WERE LIGHT WITH
A TIGHTER PRESSURE GRADIENT.

WE WILL BE ISSUING A FROST ADVISORY FOR THESE AREAS. COULD BE A
FEW FROSTY SPOTS IN NORTHERN CT AND EXTREME NW MIDDLESEX COUNTY
MA BUT MORE ISOLATED IN THESE AREAS SO NO ADVISORY PLANNED THERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
TUESDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN PLACE WITH DRY WEATHER OVER SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER THE MARITIMES WOBBLES A LITTLE AND
PUSHES ITS CLOUD SHIELD BACK TO THE SOUTH THROUGH NH. THE QUESTION
FOR THIS PERIOD REGARDS HOW FAR SOUTH THE CLOUDS WOULD REACH. WE
ARE GOING WITH A FEW MORE CLOUDS THAN MODEL VALUES SUGGEST...BUT
NOT AS MUCH AS CLOUD-LEVEL RH WOULD SUGGEST. MIXING DEPTHS WILL BE
SHALLOWER TUESDAY BUT TEMPS AT THOSE LEVELS SUPPORT MAX TEMPS MID
TO UPPER 60S. WINDS AT 925 MB WILL BE 20-25 KNOTS...SO EXPECT
ANOTHER DAY OF GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS.

TUESDAY NIGHT...
ANOTHER FAIR AND COOL NIGHT. DEWPOINTS WILL BE A LITTLE HIGHER
THAN TONIGHT...SO MIN TEMPS WILL PROBABLY BE A LITTLE MILDER AS
WELL. WILL GO WITH LOWS IN THE LOW-MID 40S...COULD BE A FEW COLD
SPOTS IN THE UPPER 30S.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

HIGHLIGHTS...

* DRY WEATHER CONTINUES RIGHT THROUGH THIS WEEKEND
* NEAR/JUST BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES MODERATE BY THIS WEEKEND

DETAILS...

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...A CLOSED LOW OVER THE CANADIAN MARITIMES
WILL SLOWLY MOVE NORTH DURING THIS TIMEFRAME...BUT NOT BEFORE
DIRECTING A SHORTWAVE OUR WAY WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.  A HIGH
PRESSURE TO OUR NORTHWEST WILL KEEP THE LOWER LEVELS DRY...SO WE
SHOULD NOT SEE MUCH MORE THAN A BRIEF INCREASE IN CLOUDS ACROSS MOST
OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

THIS HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTHWEST WILL ALSO KEEP TEMPERATURES AT
OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THIS PERIOD.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...A SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO TAKE
MORE CONTROL OF OUR WEATHER THIS WEEKEND. THE INCREASED SUNSHINE
SHOULD LEAD TO SLOWLY RISING TEMPERATURES EACH DAY. THE EXCEPTION
WOULD BE NEAR THE COAST WHERE SEA BREEZES ARE POSSIBLE AT TIMES DUE
TO THE LIGHT SURFACE WINDS.

MONDAY...THE CORE OF A SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD BE MOVING
NORTHEAST BY THIS TIME. THIS WOULD PERMIT A WEAK WARM FRONT TO
APPROACH LATE IN THE DAY.  STILL THINKING MOST LOCATIONS WILL REMAIN
DRY MONDAY...BUT CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT SHOWERS. SINCE IT IS THE
TAIL END OF THIS FORECAST...WILL GO WITH THE MOST LIKELY SOLUTION AT
THIS TIME.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD. NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTING TO 25 KNOTS WILL
DIMINISH THIS EVENING...THEN RESUME ON TUESDAY AND DIMINISH
TUESDAY EVENING.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

HIGH CONFIDENCE IN MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE
PATCHY LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING GROUND FOG AT THE TYPICALLY PRONE
LOCATIONS. LOW CONFIDENCE ON DEVELOPMENT OF THIS FOG.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

MONDAY AFTERNOON WIND GUSTS AROUND 20 KNOTS SHOULD DIMINISH THIS
EVENING. MOST SEAS ARE 2-3 FEET. WAVEWATCH MODEL IS CLOSEST TO
THIS BUT MAINTAINS 5 FOOT SEAS ON THE OUTER EDGE OF OUR SOUTHEAST
OUTER WATERS. WE WILL MAINTAIN A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY EAST OF CAPE
COD AND DROP THE ADVISORY FOR THE REMAINING WATERS. SEAS OF 5 FEET
LINGER OFF CAPE COD INTO TUESDAY AND THEN DIMINISH.

EXPECTING GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS AGAIN TUESDAY...BUT SIMILAR GUSTS
TO TODAY.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

HIGH CONFIDENCE. WINDS AND SEAS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN BELOW 20 KT
AND 4 FEET RESPECTIVELY FOR THE MAJORITY OF THIS TIME PERIOD.
HOWEVER...A LOW PRESSURE AREA PASSING WELL TO THE SOUTHEAST OF
OUR WATERS MAY BE ENOUGH TO GENERATE A PERIOD OF NORTHEAST WIND
GUSTS UP TO 25 KT LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...MAINLY ACROSS THE
COASTAL WATERS SOUTH AND EAST OF NANTUCKET.

&&

.BOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CT...NONE.
MA...NONE.
NH...NONE.
RI...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 6 PM EDT TUESDAY FOR ANZ254.
