AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
351 PM EDT MON OCT 7 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING
ACCOMPANIED BY BRIEF HEAVY RAIN...GUSTY WINDS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RESULT IN DRY AND SEASONABLE
WEATHER TUE INTO THU AFTERNOON. LOW PRESSURE MAY BRING A BIT OF
RAIN AT TIMES THU NIGHT INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...BUT ONLY IF THE
SYSTEM TRACKS FAR ENOUGH NORTH. THERE IS VERY LOW FORECAST
CONFIDENCE LATE IN THE WEEK INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
** POTENTIAL FOR BRIEF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND HEAVY RAINFALL WITH
 A COLD FRONT THROUGH EARLY EVENING **

330 PM UPDATE...
QLCS ALONG THE COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE HUDSON VALLEY AND
APPROACHING WESTERN NEW ENG. EXTRAPOLATION BRINGS THIS LINE INTO
THE E SLOPES OF THE BERKS AND CT VALLEY 4-6 PM. CONVECTION STILL
EXHIBITING A LEWP STRUCTURE WHICH IS A GOOD INDICATOR OF STRONG
WINDS. MESOANALYSIS INDICATING SBCAPES OF 500 J/KG AHEAD OF THE
LINE IN SNE...HIGHEST IN CT WHICH IS ABOUT AS HIGH AS IT WILL GET.

GREATEST THREAT FOR SEVERE WX WILL BE ACROSS W ZONES...
PARTICULARLY THE BERKSHIRES AND CT VALLEY. 0-1KM SR HELICITY
300-400 M2/S2 ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE LINE SO THE THREAT OF AN
ISOLD TORNADO CANT BE RULED OUT...BUT INSTABILITY WILL BE A
LIMITING FACTOR. EXPECT THE LINE TO WEAKEN AS IT MOVES EAST
ACROSS SNE AND APPROACHES THE COASTAL PLAIN THIS EVENING.

THREAT FOR STRONG S WIND GUSTS TO 35-40 KT WILL CONTINUE UNTIL
EARLY EVENING AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AS LOW LEVEL JET REACHES
ITS PEAK 21-00Z. WIND ADVISORY WILL CONTINUE AS FULLY LEAVED
TREES WILL ENHANCE THE POTENTIAL FOR MINOR WIND DAMAGE.

BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE A SECONDARY THREAT...BUT PROGRESSIVE
NATURE OF THIS FRONT WILL LIMIT DURATION OF THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL
TO AN HOUR OR 2 WHICH WILL LIMIT FLOOD POTENTIAL. STILL...THE
HEAVY DOWNPOURS COULD LEAD TO AREAS OF URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE
FLOODING.

BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE A SECONDARY THREAT...BUT PROGRESSIVE
NATURE OF THIS FRONT WILL LIMIT DURATION OF THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL
TO AN HOUR OR 2 WHICH WILL LIMIT FLOOD POTENTIAL. STILL...THE
HEAVY DOWNPOURS COULD LEAD TO AREAS OF URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE
FLOODING.

TONIGHT...
EXPECT WEAKENING LINE OF CONVECTION MOVING ACROSS SNE THIS
EVENING AS BL COOLS AND BEST UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT LIFTS TO THE NE.
SHOWERS WILL LINGER A FEW HOURS AFTER THE FROPA WHICH IS EXPECTED
23-04Z FROM WEST TO EAST...BUT CLOSER TO 06Z OUTER CAPE/ISLANDS.
MODELS SHOW EXCELLENT MID LEVEL DRYING MOVING IN OVERNIGHT SO
CLEARING SKIES EXPECTED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY/...
LARGE HIGH PRES BUILDS E ACROSS SNE BRINGING SUNNY SKIES AND
SEASONABLY MILD TEMPS. COLUMN IS QUITE DRY SO EVEN CU WILL BE
LIMITED. HIGH TEMPS WILL REACH MID/UPPER 60S...COOLER HIGHER
TERRAIN.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...

HIGHLIGHTS...

 * DRY AND SEASONABLE WEATHER LIKELY WED AND MOST OF THU      	    *
 * A BIT OF RAIN POSSIBLE AT TIMES THU NIGHT INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK
 * MAY END UP COMPLETELY DRY IF STORM STAYS SOUTH

DETAILS...

TUESDAY NIGHT...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND RESULT IN A
CHILLY NIGHT.  LOW TEMPS WILL FALL MAINLY INTO THE 30S...TO THE
MIDDLE 40S ACROSS MOST AREAS.   WE MAY NEED TO CONSIDER FROST
ADVISORIES FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST NH/NORTHWEST MA...IF WINDS ARE
ABLE TO DECOUPLE WHICH REMAINS UNCERTAIN AT THIS POINT.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...

LARGE HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD KEEP OUR WEATHER DRY WEDNESDAY INTO MOST
OF THURSDAY AFTERNOON.  MODEL CROSS SECTIONS DO INDICATE THAT WE MAY
SEE SOME HIGH CLOUDINESS MOVE IN FROM A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE
MID ATLANTIC.  THIS SHOULD ALSO RESULT IN ONSHORE FLOW KEEPING HIGH
MAINLY IN THE 60S...ALTHOUGH A FEW LOWER 70S MAY BE POSSIBLE ACROSS
THE INTERIOR.

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE REMAINS VERY LOW OVER THIS TIME PERIOD.  HIGH
PRESSURE WILL REMAIN LOCATED ACROSS THE CANADIAN MARITIMES WITH A
LOW MEANDERING SOMEWHERE TO OUR SOUTH.  DEPENDING ON HOW FAR NORTH
THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM GETS WILL DETERMINE IF WE END UP GETTING A
PERIOD OR TWO OF RAIN.  BIGGER THREAT FOR A SUSTAINED PERIOD OF WET
WEATHER WILL BE TO OUR SOUTH...BUT CAN/T RULE OUT SOME RAIN IN OUR
REGION WITH BEST CHANCE IN THE SOUTHERN ZONES.  THE MODELS AND
ENSEMBLES HAVE SHOWN DIFFERING SOLUTIONS AND VERY POOR RUN TO RUN
CONSISTENCY. WILL GENERALLY RUN WITH 20 TO 30 POPS TO COVER THIS
POTENTIAL...WITH THE HIGHER POPS IN OUR SOUTHERN ZONES.  BEST CHANCE
FOR A BIT OF RAIN MAY COME THU NIGHT INTO FRI THEN AGAIN LATER SUN
INTO MON.  ITS ALSO POSSIBLE ALL THE RAIN REMAINS TO OUR SOUTH OVER
THIS TIME...JUST TOO UNCERTAIN TO SAY MUCH MORE AT THIS POINT.

&&

.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 TONIGHT/...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TRENDS LOWER
CONFIDENCE IN TIMING.

CONDITIONS HAVE TEMPORARILY IMPROVED TO MVFR/VFR AS WARM FRONT HAS
LIFTED TO THE NORTH. INCREASING S WINDS WILL DEVELOP WITH GUSTS TO
35 KT POSSIBLE THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY AWAY
FROM S COAST. EXPECT IFR TO REDEVELOP LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AS LINE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS MOVE THROUGH. BRIEF HEAVY RAIN
AND STRONG WINDS WILL LIKELY ACCOMPANY THIS LINE OF
CONVECTION...ESPECIALLY CT VALLEY THEN GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS IT
MOVES TO THE COASTAL PLAIN. IMPROVING CONDITIONS TO VFR FROM WEST
TO EAST 03-08Z. VFR TUESDAY.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TRENDS...LOWER CONFIDENCE IN
EXACT TIMING. WIDESPREAD MVFR EXPECTED WITH A BRIEF PERIOD OF IFR
POSSIBLE THIS EVENING. BRIEF HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE 23-03Z. WIND
GUSTS TO 35 KT THROUGH 00Z.

KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TRENDS...LOWER CONFIDENCE IN
EXACT TIMING. WIDESPREAD MVFR WITH A BRIEF PERIOD OF IFR POSSIBLE
LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. BRIEF HEAVY RAIN 21-00Z. WIND
GUSTS TO 35 KT POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...

TUE NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN MAINLY VFR
CONDITIONS.

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE.  SOME MVFR TO EVEN
IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE AT TIMES IF A MID ATLANTIC LOW MAKES IT
FAR ENOUGH NORTH ALLOWING FOR SOME RAIN.  BEST CHANCE WOULD BE THU
NIGHT/FRI.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

LOW PROB FOR BRIEF SOUTHERLY GALES OVER EASTERN WATERS THROUGH
EARLY EVENING AS THE LOW LEVEL JET PEAKS ACROSS THE WATERS. BUT
LOW LEVEL INVERSION WILL LIMIT STRONGEST WINDS FROM MIXING DOWN
SO IT IS MORE LIKELY THAT GUSTS WILL REMAIN IN SCA RANGE. BEST
CHANCE FOR MARGINAL GALES MAY ACTUALLY OCCUR IN BOS HARBOR
THROUGH 8 PM. WINDS SHIFT TO NW AND DIMINISH OVERNIGHT WITH
SUBSIDING SEAS. NORTHERLY WINDS BELOW SCA TUESDAY. SEAS MOSTLY
BELOW SCA AS WELL BUT 5 FT SEAS MAY LINGER OVER OUTER SE WATERS.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...

HIGH CONFIDENCE IN OVERALL WIND DIRECTION....BUT LOWER CONFIDENCE IN
WIND SPEEDS AND TIMING.

LOW PRESSURE TO THE SOUTH OF OUR WATERS WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
CANADIAN MARITIMES WILL RESULT IN A PERSISTENT EAST TO  NORTHEAST
FLOW OF AIR MOST OF THE TIME.  PERIODS OF 20 TO 25 KNOT NORTHEAST
WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD.  WINDS MAY END UP A
BIT STRONGER FOR A TIME...DEPENDING ON HOW FAR NORTH MID ATLANTIC
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MAKES IT.  IT DOES APPEAR THAT THE BEST CHANCE
FOR THE STRONGER WINDS WILL BE ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN ATLANTIC WATERS.
SCA SEAS ARE ALSO LIKELY FOR MUCH OF THE TIME ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN
AND SOUTHEAST ATLANTIC WATERS.

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST THIS AFTERNOON
AND CROSS THE REGION LATE TODAY AND THIS EVENING. STRONG SOUTHERLY
WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT MAY GUST UP TO 40 TO 45 MPH THIS

OF GREATER CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A LINE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS MOVING INTO THE REGION LATE TODAY AND EARLY EVENING.
A FEW OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...AND AN ISOLATED TORNADO CANT BE COMPLETELY

THE GREATEST THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE ACROSS THE
BERKSHIRES AND CONNECTICUT VALLEY BETWEEN 4 AND 7 PM. LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL PRODUCING AREAS OF URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE
FLOODING IS A SECONDARY THREAT.
