AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
928 AM EDT TUE JUN 18 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS ANTICIPATED TODAY
INTO TONIGHT AHEAD OF A REINFORCING COLD FRONT PUSHING SOUTH
ACROSS NEW ENGLAND. HIGH PRESSURE WILL FOLLOW THEREAFTER BRINGING
MAINLY DRY AND SEASONABLE CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
THE HIGH WILL THEN ANCHOR ITSELF SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND THIS
WEEKEND...YIELDING A TREND TOWARD WARMER AND MORE HUMID WEATHER.
AN APPROACHING WARM FRONT MAY BRING WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

925 AM UPDATE...

***ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ANTICIPATED FOR THIS
  AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH MAIN CONCERN HEAVY RAIN/LOCALIZED
  FLOODING***

A FAIR AMOUNT OF MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS WERE IN PLACE AT MID MORNING
TO THE NORTH OF THE MA TURNPIKE...ALTHOUGH THERE WERE SOME PEEKS OF
SUN.  TO THE SOUTH OF THE MA TURNPIKE...THERE WAS A BIT MORE
SUNSHINE IN THE VICINITY OF A STALLED WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE NEXT SHORTWAVE WILL
GENERATE A COMPLEX OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  ENOUGH FORCING AND MOISTURE ARE PRESENT FOR
THE ACTIVITY TO BE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD...SO LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS
ARE IN THE FORECAST.

PWAT VALUES ARE AROUND 1.5 INCHES SOUTH OF THE MA TURNPIKE...WHICH
IS HIGHER THAN YESTERDAY.  ALSO...VERY SLOW MOVING BOUNDARY WILL
LIKELY PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS.  THE BIG CONCERN WILL BE FOR HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALIZED
FLOODING...PARTICULARLY TO THE SOUTH OF THE MA TURNPIKE WHERE THERE
IS BETTER MOISTURE/INSTABILITY.  THIS MAY IMPACT THE EVENING RUSH
HOUR.

AS FOR SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL...IT LOOKS LESS THAN YESTERDAY BUT A
FEW STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAN/T BE RULED OUT
ACROSS RHODE NORTHERN CT/RHODE ISLAND AND SOUTHEAST MA.  MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES ARE RATHER POOR AND INSTABILITY WILL BE LIMITED.
HOWEVER...WE STILL HAVE 40 TO 50 KNOTS OF 0 TO 6 KM SHEAR AND
DEWPOINTS WILL BE A BIT HIGHER THAN YESTERDAY SOUTH OF THE MA
TURNPIKE.  MLCAPE VALUES OF 500 TO 1000 J/KG MAY DEVELOP IN THIS
REGION.

SO AGAIN...THE MAIN THREAT WILL REVOLVE AROUND HEAVY RAIN AND
LOCALIZED FLOOD POTENTIAL THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.  HOWEVER...A FEW
STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAN/T BE RULED OUT ACROSS
NORTHERN CT/RI AND SOUTHEAST MA GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF 0 TO 6 KM SHEAR.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
TONIGHT...

THE COLD FRONT WILL SLOW AS IT PUSHES OFFSHORE AS A WEAK WAVE LIFTS
ALONG THE FRONT FROM THE MID-ATLANTIC. EXPECTING WIDESPREAD RAIN
WITH EMBEDDED HEAVIER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO LINGER OVER THE
SOUTH COAST AND ADJACENT WATERS. CONCERNS WILL STILL BE PRESENT FOR
LOCALIZED URBAN FLOODING AND PONDING OF WATER ALONG ROADWAYS...BUT
LOW CONFIDENCE ON SEVERE WEATHER THREATS AS INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED
TO BE MINIMAL. LOWS DOWN TO AROUND LOW 50S.

WEDNESDAY...

COOLER AIRMASS BUILDING SOUTH SHOULD ALLOW SIGNIFICANT BOUNDARY
LAYER MIXING OF AROUND 4-6 KFT. SUBSEQUENTLY...ANTICIPATING THE MIX-
DOWN OF FASTER MOMENTUM AND DRIER AIR. NOT LOOKING AT ANY FIRE
WEATHER HEADLINES WITH RECENT RAINS. DEWPOINTS DOWN TO AROUND 50
DEGREES...SOME GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS MAINLY ACROSS EASTERN NEW
ENGLAND. EXPECTING DIURNAL SCATTERED TO BROKEN FAIR-WEATHER CUMULUS
ACROSS INTERIOR NEW ENGLAND.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* TEMPS NEAR NORMAL THU AND FRI...TRENDING WARMER/HUMID THIS WEEKEND
* MAINLY DRY WED NGT THROUGH FRI THEN CHANCE OF TSTMS SAT/SUN/MON

00Z DETERMINISTIC MODELS AND 00Z ENSEMBLES ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON
THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN THIS PERIOD...WITH BROAD LOW AMPLITUDE
TROUGH OVER THE NORTHEAST STATES AND SOUTHEAST CANADA PERSISTING
MUCH OF THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK. HOWEVER WITH THE MEAN TROUGH
AXIS PUSHING OFFSHORE LATER WED...HIGH PRES AND A DRIER AIRMASS
ADVECT ACROSS THE REGION PROVIDING DRY AND SEASONABLE WEATHER FROM
LATE WED THROUGH FRI. IN FACT THU COULD BE THE PICK OF THE
WEEK...STARTING OFF WITH COOL MORNING TEMPS IN THE U40S AND L50S BUT
THEN REBOUNDING INTO THE 70S DURING THE AFTERNOON COURTESY OF
STRONG MID-LATE JUN SUNSHINE.

FRI...A VERY LOW RISK OF AN AFTN/EVENING TSTM AS A WEAK TROUGH
PASSES ACROSS THE AREA. OTHERWISE THE BULK OF WED NGT THROUGH FRI
SHOULD BE DRY.

BY THE WEEKEND ALL MODEL GUIDANCE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON NORTHERN
BRANCH JET LIFTING NORTHWARD INTO CANADA AS SUBTROPICAL RIDGE BUILDS
FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE MID ATLC REGION. THIS WILL SUPPORT
A TREND TOWARD WARMER AND MORE HUMID WEATHER FOR SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. IN FACT BY SUN AND/OR MON SOME LOCATIONS ACROSS INTERIOR
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND MAY BE PUSHING 90 DEGS AS 00Z ECENS ADVECTS 850
TEMPS OF AROUND +16 INTO THE AREA. CAN/T RULE OUT ISOLATED OR WIDELY
SCATTERED CONVECTION AS WARM SECTOR OVERSPREADS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND...ALTHOUGH NOT EXPECTING A WASHOUT WITH MANY HOURS OF DRY
WEATHER.

&&

.AVIATION /13Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

NEAR-TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

7 AM UPDATE...

NOT MUCH CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST. EARLIER DISCUSSION BELOW.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
GREATER CONFIDENCE OF LOW CLOUDS AND FOG IMPACTING INTERIOR
VALLEY TERMINALS NEAR BODIES OF WATER /RIVER VALLEYS/ AND ALONG
THE SOUTH SHORE INTO THE MORNING HOURS...BURNING OFF WITH SUNRISE.
THEN ATTENTION FOCUSES ON THE RENEWED +RA/TSRA THREAT BY MIDDAY
INTO EVENING. ANTICIPATE LOW-VFR/MVFR CIGS WITH MVFR/IFR VSBYS
WITH +RA/TSRA.

VARIABLE WINDS AS A COLD FRONT SLIDES ACROSS THE REGION...MAINLY
SOUTH AND EAST...BACKING OUT OF THE NORTH WITH THE COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGE. ANTICIPATING GRADUAL CLEARING NORTH TO SOUTH OVERNIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY...BECOMING VFR. PERHAPS SOME GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS
ALONG EASTERN NEW ENGLAND WEDNESDAY.

KBOS TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. RA/TSRA POSSIBLE MIDDAY INTO
AFTERNOON.

KBDL TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. RA/TSRA POSSIBLE MIDDAY INTO
AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...

HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR AND MAINLY DRY WEATHER.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

NEAR-TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

WINDS AND SEAS HAVE DIMINISHED PROMPTING THE CANCELING OF SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES ON THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OUTER WATERS. WILL SEE A
COLD FRONT SLIDE ALONG WATERS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT ALONG WHICH
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY
TO BE SOUTH OF THE WATERS INTO WEDNESDAY...BEHIND WHICH WINDS WILL
SHIFT OUT OF THE NORTH-NORTHEAST. GUSTS UP TO 25 KTS WILL BE
POSSIBLE SUBSEQUENTLY AMPLIFYING WAVE HEIGHTS OF 5 TO 6 FEET ON
THE OUTER WATERS.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...

HIGH CONFIDENCE.

DEPARTING LOW PRES WED OVER GEORGES BANK WILL RESULT IN LEFTOVER NE
SWELLS ACROSS THE OCEAN WATERS. SEAS WILL EVENTUALLY SUBSIDE BY THU
AND ESPECIALLY FRI AS HIGH PRES MOVES OVER THE WATERS. MAINLY DRY
WEATHER EXPECTED THIS PERIOD ALONG WITH GOOD VSBY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
RIVERS CONTINUE TO RECEDE ACROSS THE REGION...WITH MOST FALLING
BELOW FLOOD STAGE YESTERDAY AND OVERNIGHT. ONLY THE CHARLES RIVER AT
DOVER REMAINS IN MINOR FLOOD. LATEST GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT THIS
RIVER WILL ONLY SLOWLY FALL AND REMAIN IN MINOR FLOOD INTO
WEDNESDAY MORNING.

THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL/POOR DRAINAGE STREET
FLOODING FROM EMBEDDED HEAVY RAINS AND THUNDERSTORMS ANTICIPATED
AROUND MIDDAY TODAY INTO THIS AFTERNOON. WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE TO
KEEP AN EYE ON SOME OF THEM ESPECIALLY THE SMALLER STREAMS.
