AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
142 PM EDT TUE SEP 3 2013

.SYNOPSIS...

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW
ENGLAND THIS AFTERNOON INTO EVENING. THESE STORMS WILL BE STRONG
TO SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL...HEAVY RAIN AND THE
THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING...AND EVEN THE POSSIBILITY OF A BRIEF
TORNADO/WATERSPOUT. COOLER AND DRIER WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED LATER
THIS WEEK...WITH ANOTHER CHANCE FOR RAINFALL EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

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

130 PM UPDATE...

***STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS***
***AREAS OF CONCERN: RHODE ISLAND...SOUTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS***
***THREATS OF DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL...HEAVY RAIN***
***WITH HEAVY RAIN...FLASH FLOODING WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE***

WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER HAMPERING THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS
INTERIOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. MAJORITY OF FOCUS IS ALONG THE
SOUTH COAST AND ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN NEW ENGLAND WHERE EFFECTIVE
SHEAR OF 35 KNOTS COUPLES WITH GREATEST INSTABILITY WITH MLCAPE
VALUES OF AROUND 1500 J/KG. IT IS LIKELY THE AIRMASS DISCERNED
WITH THE 12Z OKX SOUNDING IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE PRESENT COMPLEX
OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ALONG WITH DEEP
AND WIDE POTENTIAL INSTABILITY PROFILE AND STRONG UNI-DIRECTIONAL
SHEAR. DEEP-LAYER ASCENT LIKELY ONGOING BENEATH THE RIGHT-REAR
QUADRANT OF THE UPPER-LEVEL JET AS SEEN PER LATEST HRRR/RAP
ANALYSIS.

EVEN THOUGH LOW CLOUDS AND FOG HAMPER THE SOUTH SHORE INCLUDING
THE CAPE AND ISLANDS...THE HIGH DEWPOINT AIR...STRONG DEEP-LAYER
LIFT...AND ACCOMPANYING CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS APPEAR TO SUSTAIN
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THROUGH SUCH A TROPICAL-MARINE ENVIRONMENT.

THREATS STILL PERSIST WITH STORMS...LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...
HEAVY RAIN ALONG WITH THE THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING. IN ADDITION...
SURFACE WINDS ARE BACKING ALLOWING FOR GREATER CURVATURE WITHIN
THE LOW-LEVEL PROFILE. SUBSEQUENTLY...AND NO SURPRISE...RADAR IS
DISCERNING ROTATION WITHIN THE STORMS OVER THE WATERS. CAN NOT
RULE OUT A BRIEF TORNADO/WATERSPOUT WITH THESE STORMS.

HIGH CATEGORICAL POPS TO 100 PERCENT FOR THE SOUTH SHORE AND
SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND...WITH LIKELIES UP THROUGH THE BOSTON
CORRIDOR ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT PRESENTLY MOVING INTO
THE CONNECTICUT VALLEY REGION. THREATS PLACED IN THE FORECAST.

&&

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

TUE NIGHT...
THE COLD FRONT LOOKS TO BE SLIDING JUST TO THE E OF CAPE COD AND
THE ISLANDS BY 00Z THIS EVENING. THEREFORE...THE SHOWER/STORM
THREAT SHOULD ALSO BE MOVING OFFSHORE WITH TIME ALLOWING FOR DRY
AIR AND GRADUALLY CLEARING SKIES TO MOVE IN QUICKLY FROM THE W.
DWPT VALUES SHOULD DIP INTO THE 50S ACROSS THE W...ALLOWING TEMPS
TO FOLLOW SUITE. THEREFORE...AFTER SHOWERS/STORMS END...A MOSTLY
DRY AND GRADUALLY COOLING NIGHT IS EXPECTED WITH MIN TEMPS RANGING
FROM THE MID 50S TO MID 60S.

WED...
WEAK COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION TUE AS ASSOCIATED SHORTWAVE
TROF SLIDES E OF THE REGION IN CYCLONIC FLOW OVER NRN NEW ENGLAND
AND SRN CANADA. DRY NW FLOW AND AN ALREADY DRY COLUMN SUGGESTS
THAT ONLY A FEW CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED WITH THIS FROPA. EXPECT DRY
DWPTS AND A COMFORTABLE DAY WITH HIGH TEMPS IN THE MID 70S TO NEAR
80.

&&

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

HIGHLIGHTS...

  * ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS POSSIBLE WITH A COLD FRONT THU
  * MUCH COOLER/DRIER WEATHER LATE THIS WEEK
  * MORE STORMS POSSIBLE OVER THIS WEEKEND WITH A COLD FRONT

MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH MUCH OF THE LONG TERM.  THE
MODELS HAVE BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS WITH THE
GENERAL SYNOPTIC PATTERN SO CONFIDENCE IN THE BROAD SCALE IS FAIRLY
HIGH.  THERE ARE SOME DETAILS AND IN SOME CASES TIMING THAT STILL
NEED TO BE IRONED OUT...PARTICULARLY LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK. A LOW PRESSURE MOVING OUT OF QUEBEC AND INTO THE
MARITIMES BRINGS A COLD FRONT THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
THURSDAY. WITH IT MAY COME A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR FRIDAY AND AT LEAST A PART OF SATURDAY AND
THEN ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA SOMETIME SUNDAY
INTO MONDAY. WILL USE A BLEND OF THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AND THE
WPC GRIDS THAT INCORPORATE SOME OF THE ENSEMBLE DATA.

THURSDAY...A COLD FRONT SHOULD MOVE SOUTH INTO OUR REGION BY
EARLY THURSDAY MORNING...AND THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BY
THURSDAY EVENING. BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS INDICATE SOME LIGHT
RAINFALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FRONTAL PASSAGE...SO THERE IS
POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS WITH THE FRONT. MAINTAINED SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BEHIND A COLD
FRONT...WITH A MORE NORTHERLY FLOW THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY AND
MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES TO THE NORTH. EXPECT COOLER THAN
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES SHOULD MODERATE AS
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES AWAY FROM THE REGION SATURDAY.

SUNDAY AND MONDAY...THE GREATEST DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE LATEST
MODELS ARE IN THIS PERIOD...AS USUAL. HOWEVER...EVEN WITH THIS
TIME PERIOD...THEY ARE IN REASONABLY GOOD AGREEMENT. ANOTHER COLD
FRONT MOVES THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WITH LOW PRESSURE IN THE
MARITIMES SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK INTO THE REGION
MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...

FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

OVERVIEW...MODERATE CONFIDENCE TODAY
        ...HIGHER CONFIDENCE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY

18Z UPDATE...

EVEN THOUGH IFR-LIFR FOG PERSISTS...TSRA IS ANTICIPATED ALONG THE
SOUTH COAST AND SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND INTO EVENING. HAVE A VCTS
MENTION FOR EAST NEW ENGLAND TERMINALS WITH THE POSSIBLE THREAT
AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT. WITH ANY TSRA...MVFR/IFR
IMPACTS POSSIBLE...HAVE GONE WITH TEMPO GROUPS WITH BEST TIMING OF
THREATS.

COLD FRONT SWEEPS OFFSHORE THIS EVENING RESULTING IN SHRA/TSRA
IMPACTS TO DIMINISH. CIGS AND VSBSY LIFT TO VFR. CONDITIONS
PERSIST THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH LIGHT WESTERLY FLOW WHICH MAY ALLOW
SEA-BREEZES ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COASTS. A SECONDARY COLD FRONT AND
THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS RE-EMERGES FOR INTERIOR TERMINALS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. ANTICIPATING LOW-VFR CIGS WITH
MINIMAL IMPACT TO VSBYS.

KBOS TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF. WILL KEEP A 2 HOUR
MENTION /19-21Z/ OF VCTS. TSRA ACTIVITY MAY STAY MAINLY SOUTH AND
EAST. SEA-BREEZE POSSIBLE DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY.

KBDL TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF. HAVE REMOVED ALL
MENTION OF TSRA.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. MAINLY VFR. LOW CONFIDENCE IN ISOLD
SHRA/TSRA THURSDAY RESULTING IN BRIEF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...

FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

18Z UPDATE...

BOATERS ALONG THE SOUTH COAST SHOULD BE AWARE OF STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS CONTAINING FREQUENT LIGHTNING...LARGE HAIL...GALE
FORCE WINDS...AND THE POSSIBILITY OF WATER SPOUTS. SEAS WILL
LIKELY BUILD LOCALLY IN RESPONSE TO STORMS. EXPECT SPECIAL MARINE
WARNINGS INTO THIS EVENING AS ACTIVITY PROGRESSES EAST OUT OF LONG
ISLAND AND IMPACTS THE WATERS AROUND CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS.

EXPECT ACTIVITY TO BE WELL OUT TO SEA BY AROUND MIDNIGHT AS A COLD
FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE WATERS. EXPECT SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS TO BACK
MORE WESTERLY. DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY...NEAR-SHORE SEA- BREEZES
WILL BE POSSIBLE...OTHERWISE LIGHT WESTERLY FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR
ANY ROUGH SEAS TO RELAX. DURING WEDNESDAY NIGHT WINDS WILL TURN
MORE SOUTHWESTERLY AND WE COULD SEE SOME ENHANCEMENT WITH 10 TO 15
KNOTS IN RESPONSE TO AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT TOWARDS THURSDAY
MORNING.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

QUIET BOATING WEATHER EXPECTED WITH WESTERLY WINDS AND SEAS BELOW
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

SOME THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE TODAY PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE BOX CWA. WHILE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE
EXPECTED TO BE A BIT LOWER THAN THEY WERE OVER THE WEEKEND...AND
THE STORMS SHOULD BE MOVING A BIT FASTER...SOME OF THESE STORMS
MAY PRODUCE ANOTHER ROUND OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. WILL NEED TO
MONITOR PARTICULARLY URBAN AREAS AND A FEW REGIONS THAT SAW A
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RAIN THIS PAST WEEKEND. THESE INCLUDE MUCH
OF CENTRAL RHODE ISLAND...METRO WEST...AND NORTHERN HILLSBOROUGH
COUNTIES IN SOUTHERN NH. NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH IN WIDESPREAD FLASH
FLOODING TO SUPPORT ANOTHER FLASH FLOOD WATCH...BUT IT IS NOT OUT
OF THE QUESTION THAT SOME FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS ARE ISSUED TODAY
PARTICULARLY IF THOSE LOCATIONS ARE AFFECTED.
