AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
413 PM EDT WED JUL 10 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AT TIMES THROUGH
AT LEAST FRIDAY...BRINGING LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL/FLOODING. LESS
HUMID WEATHER ARRIVES THIS WEEKEND. THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME WILL
BE DRY...BUT A FEW SPOT SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL STILL BE
POSSIBLE. VERY WARM AND HUMID WEATHER WILL MAKE A RETURN FOR THE
START OF THE NEXT WORK WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
430 PM UPDATE...

SURFACE WARM FRONT IS NOW ACROSS PORTLAND ME INTO NH. THIS WARM
FRONT HAS CONTINUED TO INCREASE THE TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS ACROSS
THE REGION CREATING A WARM AND MUGGY FEEL OUTSIDE. IN FACT DEWPOINTS
ARE NEAR 74F IN SOME LOCATIONS! WITH THESE HIGH DEWPOINTS AND PWAT
VALUES AROUND 1.5-2 INCHES MAKES THE AIRMASS FEEL VERY TROPICAL.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION. MAIN
THREAT WITH THESE STORMS WILL BE HEAVY DOWNPOURS WHICH COULD LEAD
TO LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING. GUSTY WINDS NEARING 30 MPH IS ALSO
POSSIBLE. THERE IS STILL SOME TURNING IN THE LOW LEVELS AND LATEST
SPC MESO ANALYSIS SHOWS A LITTLE HELICITY SO A QUICK SPIN UP IS
NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IS LOW.

EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE THE EASTWARD TRACK
TOWARDS THE ENE THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON IN THE EVENING HOURS.
THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO COMBINED AND FORM SOME SORT OF
UNORGANIZED LINE. LOW CONFIDENCE IF SEVERE WEATHER WILL OCCUR.

TONIGHT...
CURRENT CONVECTION SHOULD WANE AFTER SUNSET AS DAYTIME HEATING IS
LOST. A FEW SHOWERS MAY LINGER AFTER 10 PM BUT CONFIDENCE IN THEM
BEING STRONG OR SEVERE IS LOW. TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARMER AND
MORE HUMID COMPARED TO LAST NIGHT AS WARM FRONT HAS LIFTED NORTH
OF THE REGION AND DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE LOW TO MID 70S!

CONCERN THEN TURNS TO AFTER ELEVATED CONVECTION DURING THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. WITH SNE IN THE WARM MOIST SECTOR AND A COLD FRONT WILL
SLOWLY APPROACH AS WELL AS A WEAK LLJ BEGINS TO STRENGTHEN TO 20 TO
25 KTS WE COULD SEE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP. SHOWALTER
INDEX DROPS TO -2 TO -4C AND ELEVATED CAPE WILL BE APPROACHING 1000
J/KG WHICH COULD SUSTAIN SHOWERS AND THUNDER. AS PWAT VALUES ARE
NEAR 2 INCHES...MAIN CONCERN OVERNIGHT INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
WILL BE HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND LOCALIZED FLOODING. MORNING COMMUTE ON
THURSDAY MAY BE DIFFICULT FROM THUNDERSTORMS.  THEREFORE THE FLASH
FLOOD WATCH WILL CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

&&

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

TOMORROW...
SYNOPTIC SHORTWAVE WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND THROUGHOUT THE DAY TOMORROW. EXPECT IT TO BE OUT WEST BY THE
MID MORNING AND EVENTUALLY THROUGH THE REGION BY THE LATER EVENING
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THIS FRONT WILL BE THE MAIN FOCUS FOR
CONVECTION TOMORROW.

CONTINUED TO KEEP THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AND HAVE EXPANDED IT TO
INCLUDE THE EASTERN PORTION OF MASSACHUSETTS. THE REGION WILL
CONTINUE TO BE IN THE WARM MOIST AIRMASS AND WITH ONGOING CONVECTION
IN THE MORNING HOURS EXPECT THEM TO CONTINUE AND SPREAD EASTWARD
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. LOW CONFIDENCE ON ANY SEVERE POTENTIAL...HOWEVER
BELIEVE HEAVY DOWNPOURS ARE STILL THE MAIN THREAT THANKS TO HIGH
DEWPOINTS AND PWATS NEAR 2 INCHES. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TOMORROW
AND TODAY IS THAT TOMORROW WILL HAVE A BETTER SOURCE OF LIFT AS WELL
AS MORE SHEAR...NEAR 20-30 KTS. STORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY
EVENING AND SHOULD WANE IN SEVERE POTENTIAL AFTER SUNSET.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

HEADLINES...

* HEAVY RAIN AND POSSIBLE FLOODING THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY NIGHT
* AN UNCERTAIN WEEKEND FORECAST...LOOKING DRY BUT SHOWERS POSSIBLE
* RETURN OF HEAT AND HUMIDITY FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK
* SEASONABLE CONDITIONS AND WET WEATHER ANTICIPATED BY MIDWEEK

*/OVERVIEW AND MODEL CONSENSUS...

FORECAST SOLUTIONS SUCCINCT UPON A MID- TO UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH
STALLING AGAINST STRONGER RIDGING ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. THE
GENERAL TREND IS FOR THE TROUGH TO UNDERGO FURTHER MATURITY TOWARDS
OCCLUSION AS A CLOSED COLD-CORE LOW...BIFURCATING FROM THE LONGWAVE
FLOW ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE BROADER RIDGE PATTERN
ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS.

BUT IT IS THE STRENGTH AND EVOLUTION OF THIS LOW THAT REMAINS FAIRLY
UNCERTAIN...THOUGH CONFIDENT IT WILL RETROGRADE SOUTH AND WEST
AROUND THE BROADER CENTRAL CONUS HIGH. ACCORDINGLY...SURFACE
OUTCOMES FOR THE WEEKEND AND BEYOND REMAIN UNCERTAIN.

RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY HAS BEEN BEST WITH THE ECMWF...THE CANADIAN
HAS EXHIBITED DRAMATIC SHIFTS...WHILE THE GFS HAS WOBBLED IN
HANDLING POTENTIAL OUTCOMES. THE NAM/SREF IS JUST BEGINNING TO
FORECAST THE LOW MATURATION AND OCCLUSION...ROUGHLY CLOSE WITH THE
ECMWF. MAINTAINING CONTINUITY THROUGH ENSEMBLE MEMBERS AND WPC/HPC
FORECAST SEEMS TO BE THE BEST GUIDANCE TOWARDS FORECASTING THE LONG-
TERM.

*/DAY-TO-DAY DETAILS...

*/THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY NIGHT...

THE ATMOSPHERE UNDERGOES A SQUEEZE ACROSS A MAJORITY OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND AS LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE PREVAILS ALONG THE STALLED SURFACE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY BENEATH FAVORABLE REGION OF ENHANCED ASCENT AHEAD
OF THE MAIN MID-LEVEL IMPULSE AND RIGHT-ENTRANCE REGION OF THE UPPER
LEVEL JET.

NOT CONVINCED ON A SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...INSTABILITY APPEARS LOW
TO NON-EXISTANT IN A REGION OF STRONG SHEAR /MAINLY UNI-DIRECTIONAL
IN THE LOW- TO MID-LEVELS...SOME SLIGHT TURNING AT THE SURFACE/.
MAIN CONCERN IS FLOODING WITH DEEP-LAYER ASCENT IN AN ENVIRONMENT
WITH PWATS RANGING 1.5 TO 2 INCHES. LIKELY POPS WARRANTED. FLOOD
WATCHES LIKELY TO BE EXTENDED THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD FOCUSED ON ALL
OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AS MUCH OF THE REGION SHOULD BE SATURATED
FROM TODAYS AND THURSDAYS RAINS.

ANTICIPATED CLOUDY AND WET CONDITIONS SHOULD KEEP HIGHS SLIGHTLY
BELOW SEASONABLE LEVELS...AND LOWS MILD OVERNIGHT. WINDS VARIABLE
BECOMING NORTHERLY IN WAKE OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY PASSAGE.

*/SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY...

WHILE TRENDS ARE EVIDENT...FORECAST GUIDANCE IS NOT SUCCINCT WITH
THE STRENGTH AND EVOLUTION OF THE CLOSED COLD-CORE LOW AROUND THE
BROADER CENTRAL CONUS HIGH. A VARIETY OF SURFACE OUTCOMES ARE
PLAUSIBLE...DEPENDENT ON THE LOCATION OF THE LOW AND ATTENDANT MID-
TO UPPER-LEVEL FLOW.

FEEL THE ENVIRONMENT SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY DRIER AND WILL ECHO THE
PREVIOUS FORECASTERS THINKING...HOPEFULLY STAYING DRY WITH THE
CHANCE OF DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. MINOR
INSTABILITY AND WEAK SHEAR PROFILES RESULT IN A CONTINUED MAIN
THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN AND THE POSSIBILITY OF LOCALIZED FLOODING.

CONDITIONS REMAINING SEASONABLE WITH LIGHT AND VARIABLE SURFACE WIND
FIELDS.

*/MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...

WITH THE PREFERRED RETROGRESSION OF THE CLOSED COLD-CORE LOW SOUTH
AND WEST AROUND THE BROADER FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE HIGH...THE
OFFSHORE BERMUDA HIGH BUILDS BACK INTO THE REGION PERMITTING DRIER
AND WARMER CONDITIONS.

SOUTHWESTERLY SURFACE WINDS AND WARM-AIR ADVECTION ALOFT RESULTS IN
THE RETURN OF HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS. EXPECT HIGHS TO GET INTO THE
LOW-90S. WILL GO WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WITH POTENTIAL MINOR INSTABILITY AND UNI-DIRECTIONAL SOUTHWESTERLY
SHEAR.

*/WEDNESDAY INTO THE END OF THE WEEK...

SHOULD THE BERMUDA HIGH WEAKEN AND PUSH SOUTH...HEIGHTS WILL FALL
WITHIN THE MID-LEVELS ALLOWING THE RETURN OF THE NORTHERN STREAM OF
CYCLONIC FLOW...INCREASING CHANCES FOR DIURNALLY DRIVEN WEATHER AS
WEAK WAVES MOVE THROUGH THE LONGWAVE FLOW PATTERN...INVOKING SURFACE
AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE. WILL GO SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS FOR THE
PERIOD KEEPING CONDITIONS CLOSE TO SEASONABLE.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

MODERATE CONFIDENCE ON TRENDS...LOW CONFIDENCE ON TIMING.

BEFORE 00Z...MAINLY VFR ACROSS THE REGION. ONGOING CONVECTION
WILL LEAD TO MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
EVENTUALLY MOVE EASTWARD AND IMPACT ALL SITES BEST CHANCES OF MVFR
CONDITIONS WILL BE EAST OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR.

TONIGHT...
CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH
MVFR/IFR CIGS AND VSBYS. WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW BETTER CONFIDENCE IN
DENSE FOG WILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTH COAST...CAPE AND ISLANDS.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO PERSIST OVERNIGHT.

TOMORROW...
COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE REGION WILL YIELD TO ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHRA AND TSRA ACROSS THE REGION. THE CONDITIONS WILL DROP VSBYS
AND CIGS TO MVFR/IFR. BEST REGION FOR THIS TO OCCUR WILL BE SOUTH
OF THE PIKE.

KBOS TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF. SOUTHWEST WINDS
TONIGHT WILL RESULT IN LESS FOG AND LOW CLOUDS TONIGHT...BUT A
PERIOD OF IFR CONDITIONS CAN/T BE RULED OUT. VCTS AND EVENTUALLY
TSRA WILL OCCUR AT THE SITE LOW CONFIDENCE ON EXACT TIMING.

KBDL TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. LOW CONFIDENCE IN ANOTHER
ROUND OF FOG AND THEN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN TOMORROW.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...

THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

SHRA/TSRA WILL BE ONGOING INITIALLY...LIFTING NORTH AND DISSIPATING
THROUGH THE PERIOD ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. LOW-VFR/MVFR CIGS
WITH MVFR/LIFR VSBYS WITH +RA. NORTHERLY WINDS. FOG WILL LIKELY BE
AN ISSUE FOR THE SOUTH-COAST A MAJORITY OF THE PERIOD...POTENTIALLY
SPREADING ACROSS THE INTERIOR FOR THE EVENING PERIODS.

SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE.

PREVAILING VFR WITH LOW-END VFR CIGS. AN AFTERNOON SHRA/TSRA IS
POSSIBLE. POTENTIAL FOR DETERIORATING CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT WITH
MVFR/IFR CIGS AND POSSIBILITY FOR FOG. LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS.

MONDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

PREVAILING VFR WITH LOW-END VFR CIGS. WILL KEEP THE FORECAST PERIOD
DRY. WINDS VEERING OUT OF THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

.SHORT TERM...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.

THIS AFTERNOON...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE FROM WEST TO
EAST ACROSS THE WATERS LATE THIS AFTERNOON. NEAR SHORE WATERS MAY
QUICKLY GUST TO 25KTS BUT LOW CONFIDENCE ON ISSUING A SCA.
OTHERWISE SEAS ARE AROUND 1-3FT.

TONIGHT-THURSDAY...CONTINUED SCA FOR THE OUTER WATERS TONIGHT AND
INTO TOMORROW. FEEL ITS MARGINAL AS OUTER WATERS MAY GET TO 5 FT.
WNA WAVE HAS BEEN TO AGGRESSIVE ON THE WAVE HEIGHTS RECENTLY SO
UNDERCUT THEM WITHIN THE FORECAST.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...

THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY NIGHT...

RAIN WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL STALL ACROSS THE WATERS EARLY
IN THE PERIOD...GRADUALLY LIFTING NORTH LATE. HEAVY RAIN AT TIMES
WILL LIKELY LEAD TO VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND
VARIABLE INITIALLY...BACKING OUT OF THE NORTH. THIS SHOULD ALLOW
SEAS OVER A MAJORITY OF THE WATERS TO REMAIN 5 FEET OR LESS. LOW
CONFIDENCE CONCERNING MARINE HEADLINES FOR ANY STORMS.

SATURDAY INTO MONDAY...

WHILE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE NEAR-SHORE
WATERS...FEEL WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN BENIGN. PREVAILING
NORTHERLY WINDS WILL LESSEN DURING THE PERIOD...BECOMING LIGHT AND
VARIABLE PRIOR TO VEERING OUT OF THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST. SEAS TO REMAIN
BELOW 5 FEET.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO APPROACH THE REGION
TODAY THROUGH TOMORROW...INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN
IN ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP. ALSO...SOUTH TO
SOUTHWEST WINDS MAY CAUSE SOME OF THESE SHOWERS AND STORMS TO
TRAIN ACROSS SOME AREAS...SO THERE MAY BE LOCALIZED VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN
EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF RAIN RECENTLY ACROSS CENTRAL AND WESTERN
AREAS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS...SO THE GROUND IS ALREADY
SATURATED. IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH RAIN TO CAUSE FLASH FLOODING.
MAY SEE ON THE ORDER OF 1-2 INCHES OF RAIN FROM ANY
SHOWERS/TSTMS...AND POSSIBLY UP TO 3 INCHES IF SEVERAL STORMS
TRAIN OVER SOME LOCATIONS. BECAUSE OF THIS...HAVE CONTINUED AND
EXPANDED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH THURSDAY.
