AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
723 AM EDT FRI JUL 5 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN HOT AND HUMID WEATHER
CONTINUING INTO NEXT WEEK.  MAINLY DRY WEATHER WILL PREVAIL FOR THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...BUT BETTER CHANCES OF SCATTERED
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL ARRIVE EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
***HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY CONTINUE***

7 AM UPDATE...
MAINLY SKC CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING AS EVEN THE
MARINE STRATUS DECK HAS PUSHED FURTHER OFFSHORE. GIVEN THE EARLY
AND AMPLE SUNSHINE AND SEVERAL LOCALES STARTING IN THE MID
70S...EXPECTING TEMPS TO BE A COUPLE OF DEGREES WARMER TODAY WITH
THANKS TO AIRMASS MODIFICATION. HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THAT MIXING
MAY LEAD TO JUST SLIGHTLY LOWER DWPTS TODAY...HOLDING THEM MORE IN
THE UPPER 60S RATHER THAN LOW 70S. DESPITE THIS...CONDITIONS STILL
LOOK GOOD FOR SEVERAL LOCATIONS TO SEE HEAT INDEX VALUES AROUND
100F. CURRENT LOCATION OF HEAT ADVISORIES LOOK GOOD SO NO PROPOSED
CHANGES FOR THE TIME BEING BUT DAY SHIFT MAY NEED TO MONITOR TEMP
TRENDS FOR POSSIBLE EXPANSION IN NH AND POSSIBLE EVEN WORCESTER
COUNTY AS WELL.

HAVE ALSO NOTICED SOME EARLY MORNING CONVECTION ACROSS NRN NY
STATE...HOWEVER WITH RIDGING IN CONTROL AND DECENT CAP SHOWING UP
ON LOCAL FORECAST SOUNDINGS...IT APPEARS MOST OF THE T-STORM/SHRA
ACTIVITY STAYS WELL TO THE N AND W OF THE REGION TODAY. MADE SOME
SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS TO POPS...HIGHLIGHTING ONLY EXTREME NY
LOCATIONS WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

WEST ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL EXTEND INTO
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TODAY MAINTAINING THE HOT HUMID WEATHER.
DEWPOINTS ARE STARTING THE DAY IN THE LOW TO MID 70S...AND SHOULD
REMAIN IN THE UPPER 60S TO MID 70S THROUGH THE DAY. MIXING LAYER
REACHED ABOVE 850 MB YESTERDAY...AND SHOULD AGAIN REACH BETWEEN
850 AND 800 MB TODAY. TEMPS AT THE TOP OF THE MIXED LAYER ARE
EQUIVALENT TO 19C AT 850 MB...SO MAX TEMPS SHOULD BE IN THE MID
90S EXCEPT LESS HOT ALONG THE SOUTH COAST AND THE HIGHER HILLS.

THE COMBINATION OF HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL AGAIN BRING THE HEAT
INDEX TO 100F OR A LITTLE HIGHER AROUND MOST OF THE MAJOR CITIES
IN THE REGION. BASED ON FORECAST VALUES...WE HAVE EXPANDED THE
EXISTING HEAT ADVISORY ACROSS NORTHERN CT AND THE CONNECTICUT
VALLEY OF MASS...AND TO THE MERRIMACK VALLEY OF NH. A CASE COULD
BE MADE FOR FURTHER EXPANSION ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE
INTERIOR BUT COVERAGE IS LESS CERTAIN IN WORCESTER COUNTY AND IN
SOUTHWEST NH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
TONIGHT...
THE RIDGE WILL BRING ANOTHER WARM HUMID NIGHT WITH AREAS OF FOG.
BEST CHANCE FOR FOG AND LOW CLOUDS WILL BE ALONG THE SOUTH COAST
AND THE ISLANDS. DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 70S SO MINIMUM TEMPS
SHOULD BE MAINLY IN THE 70S.

SATURDAY...
THE RIDGE MAINTAINS ITSELF ON SATURDAY AND SHOULD PROVIDE ANOTHER
HOT AND HUMID DAY. TEMPS ALOFT AND SURFACE DEWPOINTS LOOK SIMILAR
TO TODAY...SO EXPECT ANOTHER DAY REACHING THE LOW TO MID 90S WITH
DEWPOINTS IN THE 70S. THIS WILL LIKELY MEAN A HEAT ADVISORY FOR AT
LEAST INTERIOR PARTS OF THE COASTAL PLAIN AS WELL AS PARTS OF THE
CT RIVER VALLEY AND MERRIMACK VALLEY.

THERE ARE SIGNS OF THE UPPER PATTERN STARTING TO BREAK LATER IN
THE DAY...WHICH WOULD OPEN A BETTER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS/TSTMS
REACHING US ESPECIALLY IN WESTERN MASS AND SOUTHWEST NH. STILL
LOOKS LIMITED WITH SCATTERED OR WIDELY SCATTERED COVERAGE.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL RALLY BACK TO 2 INCHES...SO ANY
SHOWERS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE HEAVY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

  * POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR EXTENDED HEAT WAVE THRU MONDAY ESPECIALLY
  * SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE EACH DAY MAINLY INTERIOR

OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCES...
AM NOTING LITTLE CHANGE IN SYNOPTIC SCALE PATTERN ON OVERNIGHT
OPERATIONAL AND ENSEMBLE MODEL RUNS. THERE ARE THE USUAL SMALLER
SCALE ISSUES REGARDING SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVING THROUGH W-E
ORIENTED WEAK JET SETTLING OVER THE REGION NEXT WEEK...AND AS A
RESULT EXACT TIMING OF ANY RAIN/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE A
BIT OF A QUESTION MARK UNTIL GUIDANCE CAN BETTER RESOLVE THESE
FEATURES. GIVEN THE SYNOPTIC SCALE AGREEMENT THOUGH...WILL
CONTINUE TO BASELINE THE FORECAST WITH OPERATIONAL GUIDANCE FROM
THE GFS AND ECMWF AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS FROM THERE.

THE AGREEMENT DOES ALLOW FOR SOME CONFIDENCE IN DAILY SENSIBLE WX
DETAILS...MAINLY REGARDING THE HIGH HUMIDITY AIRMASS THAT WILL
REMAIN IN PLACE AS THE E COASTAL RIDGE BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN. TEMPS
WILL START ON THE HOT SIDE AND THEN SETTLE A BIT AS WE GO INTO MID
WEEK THANKS TO SOME MID LVL COOLING...ALTHOUGH WITH AT LEAST SOME
OCCASIONAL SUNSHINE THIS WOULD MEAN HIGHS IN THE 80S ARE LIKELY.
IN GLANCING AT THE SOUNDING DATA THROUGH THE LONG TERM...COLUMN
STILL LOOKS TO BE AT LEAST CONDITIONALLY UNSTABLE
THROUGHOUT...WITH MODEST LAPSE RATES AND AT LEAST SOME DIURNAL
CAPE TO WORK WITH. THEREFORE...WILL FOLLOW A DIURNAL TREND WITH
POPS SOMEWHAT...INCREASING THEM INTO THE AFTERNOON AND DECREASING
THEM SOMEWHAT OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL BE VERY DEPENDENT ON ANY
WAVE/FRONT THAT AFFECTS THE REGION HOWEVER...AS TIMING COULD BE A
BIT OFF.

DETAILS...

SUN INTO MON...
MODELS HAVE BEEN REASONABLY CONSISTENT IN SUGGESTING THE W
ATLANTIC RIDGE /AND BY ASSOCIATION THE BERMUDA HIGH/ TO BEGIN TO
LOSE ITS GRIP ON THE REGION AS A SHORTWAVE APPROACHES FROM THE
GREAT LAKES BY MON MORNING. SUN STILL LOOKS TO BE HOT AND HUMID
WITH H85 TEMPS HOLDING ABOUT +18C /SUGGESTING WITH SOME SUN THAT
TEMPS SHOULD EASILY REACH INTO THE 90S AGAIN ESPECIALLY THANKS TO
AIRMASS MODERATION/. WITH DWPTS STILL PROGGED TO HOLD NEAR
70F...COLUMN LOOKS TO BE UNSTABLE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A BIT HIGHER
CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON CONVECTION THANKS TO SLIGHT EROSION OF THE
CAPE WITH THE EXITING HIGH. NOT EXPECTING WIDESPREAD
CONVECTION...BUT CHANCES ARE HIGHER THAN LATE THIS WEEK AND ON
SAT. HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES TO BE THE THREAT WITH ANY STORMS THAT
DEVELOP GIVEN PWAT VALUES NEAR 2.0 INCHES AND LIKELY SLOW MOVEMENT
THANKS TO WEAK SHEAR. IT APPEARS THAT OVERNIGHT STABILIZATION OF
THE COLUMN MAY BE ENOUGH TO THWART PRECIP DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT
DESPITE THE APPROACHING WAVE...BUT THIS WILL NEED TO BE
MONITORED.

ON MON...WITH THE WAVE SLIDING OVER FROM THE W AND WEAKENING
SOMEWHAT AS IT CRESTS THE SUBSIDING RIDGE...WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR
MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN...AS A
BETTER FOCUS FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE THERE. MID LVL TEMPS
ARE WARM ENOUGH FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF 90S SHOULD THE SUN BREAK
OUT...BUT WITH THE WAVE IN PLACE THERE MAY BE ENOUGH CLOUD COVER
TO KEEP TEMPS DOWN SOMEWHAT.

TUE INTO WED...
WITH SOUTH CONUS RIDGE BREAKING DOWN A WEAK ZONAL JET WILL SLIDE
S AND ACROSS SRN AND CENTRAL NEW ENGLAND THROUGH THE PERIOD. GIVEN
WAVE TIMING IS DIFFICULT WITH THESE WEAK JETS...ITS DIFFICULT TO
SAY EXACTLY WHEN THE BEST CHANCE FOR -SHRA/T-STORM DEVELOPMENT
WILL BE...BUT CERTAINLY DIURNAL DESTABILIZATION WILL PROMOTE THE
CHANCES IN THE LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING SO WILL BE FOCUSING HIGHEST
POPS THEN. NOT EXPECTING A WASHOUT ACROSS THE BOARD...BUT WILL
NEED TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR HEAVY RAIN WITH SOME STORMS AS
TROPICALLY MODIFIED AIRMASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE. THIS AIRMASS
ALSO SUGGESTS THE HUMIDITY LINGERS ALTHOUGH SFC TEMPS WILL BE A
BIT COOLER THAN IT IS EXPECTED TO BE THIS WEEKEND. MID TO UPPER
80S POSSIBLE IN SOME SUNSHINE.

LATE NEXT WEEK...
BOTH OPERATIONAL AND ENSEMBLE MODELS SUPPORT A STRONGER WAVE
SLIDING ACROSS THE REGION SOMETIME LATE NEXT WEEK. EXACTLY HOW
THIS TIMES/PLAYS OUT WILL HAVE TO BE RESOLVED...BUT FEEL CONFIDENT
ENOUGH TO INCREASE/KEEP CHANCE POPS /INSTEAD OF JUST SLIGHT CHANCE
TYPICAL OF EXTENDED PERIODS/. THIS MAY ALSO INCREASE THE THREAT
FOR HEAVY RAIN ACROSS THE REGION...PARTICULARLY IF A SLOW MOVING
WARM FRONT SLIDES OVER THE AREA AS THE ECMWF AND SOME ECENS MODELS
SUGGEST. STILL SOME TIME HERE TO WORK THINGS OUT.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

OVERVIEW...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR MOSTLY VFR...LOWER CONFIDENCE IN
SOME LATE NIGHT STRATUS AND FOG FOR SOUTH COAST.

MAINLY VFR TODAY ACROSS THE REGION...WITH A VERY LOW CHANCE FOR
SOME AFTERNOON/EVENING THUNDERSTORMS IN THE NORTH AND WEST...BUT
FEEL MOST OF THESE REMAIN OUTSIDE OF THE AREA. OTHERWISE...VFR
CONTINUES TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW EXCEPT FOR THE THREAT FOR SOME
MARINE STRATUS AND FOG ESPECIALLY ALONG THE SOUTH COAST...CAPE
COD AND ISLANDS WHERE IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS COULD BE POSSIBLE
ESPECIALLY DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS.

WEST TO SOUTHWEST WIND BOTH TODAY AND SATURDAY WITH AFTERNOON
GUSTS TO 20 KNOTS.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF. LOW PROBABILITY OF A BRIEF
MVFR VSBY IN HAZE.

KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE. MAINLY VFR...BUT A PERIOD OF
LOWER CONDITIONS POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT/EARLY SATURDAY MORNING IN
PATCHY GROUND FOG.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

MODERATE CONFIDENCE THROUGH THE PERIOD.

VFR IS LIKELY TO DOMINATE DURING THE DAYS WITH THE CHANCE FOR FOG
DEVELOPMENT WITH PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR AT NIGHT. THE PRIMARY THREAT
FOR IFR WILL BE AT TERMINALS CLOSE TO THE SOUTH COAST.

CHANCES FOR RAIN...INCLUDING THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE FROM
SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE
SUNDAY...BUT COVERAGE LOOKS TO BE LOWER THAN THE EARLY HALF OF THE
WORK WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.

TODAY...WIND GUST POTENTIAL ON LAND AND NEAR SHORE IS AROUND 20
KNOTS. EXPECT WINDS OVER THE WATERS TO REMAIN BELOW THE 25-KNOT
SMALL CRAFT THRESHOLD TODAY. OBSERVED SEAS ARE BELOW 5 FEET ALL
AREAS EXCEPT SOUTHEAST OF BLOCK ISLAND...AND THIS SHOULD DIMINISH
SHORTLY.

SATELLITE SHOWS FOG AROUND THE EASTERN HALF NANTUCKET AS HIGH
DEWPOINTS MOVE OVER THE COOLER OCEAN WATER. THIS FOG WILL LINGER
TODAY ALTHOUGH MAINLY OFFSHORE OF THE ISLAND.

TONIGHT...
FOG RETURNS TONIGHT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS ESPECIALLY AROUND
NANTUCKET. VSBYS COULD AGAIN DROP BELOW 1 MILE IN THIS AREA.

SATURDAY...PERSISTENT WEST TO SOUTHWEST WIND BUT REMAINING LESS
THAN 25 KNOTS. SEAS WILL LINGER 3 TO 4 FEET.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

MODERATE CONFIDENCE THROUGH THE PERIOD...LITTLE CHANGE IN
FORECAST. IT APPEARS CONDITIONS SHOULD GENERALLY REMAIN BELOW
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS THROUGH THE PERIOD.

PERSISTENT WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS AND LINGERING SWELL WILL ALLOW
SEAS OF 4 TO 5 FT TO CONTINUE PARTICULARLY OVER THE OCEAN WATERS
SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. WINDS SHOULD REMAIN
BELOW SMALL CRAFT THRESHOLDS SAVE FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING HOURS SURROUNDING CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS THROUGH THE
WEEKEND... WHERE A FEW GUSTS APPROACHING 25 KT ARE POSSIBLE.

OTHERWISE...SOME OVERNIGHT FOG AND STRATUS MAY CAUSE OCCASIONAL
REDUCTIONS IN VISIBILITY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ALL OF THE RAINFALL OVER WESTERN NEW ENGLAND EARLIER IN THE WEEK
IS NOW DRAINING THROUGH THE CONNECTICUT RIVER. THE RIVER CRESTED
AT THOMPSONVILLE CT YESTERDAY AND IS CRESTING AT HARTFORD THIS
MORNING. THE STAGE AT HARTFORD SHOULD START A STEADY FALL LATER
TODAY CONTINUING THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
