AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
352 AM EDT THU OCT 17 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
AFTER A MILD DAY TODAY...WIDESPREAD SHOWERS WILL MOVE THROUGH
OVERNIGHT ALONG WITH A WEAK WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE.  DRY WEATHER
RETURNS FOR FRIDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...EXCEPT FOR A FEW SHOWERS
POSSIBLE SAT NIGHT AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. A GRADUAL
COOLING TREND IS EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH A SLOWING COLD FRONT THROUGH E CENTRAL NY
AND VT CONTINUE TO RAPIDLY DIMINISH IN RESPONSE TO BETTER FORCING
SHIFTING N AND E AND DRY AIR IN PLACE OVER SRN NEW ENGLAND. HAVE
KEPT POPS DOWN TO SLIGHT CHANCE MAINLY THROUGH NRN FRANKLIN COUNTY
MA AND WRN CHESHIRE COUNTY NH...OTHERWISE MOST OF THE AREA REMAINS
DRY THROUGH THE DAY TODAY. SOME LOCALLY DENSE FOG IS EFFECTING THE
AREAS WITHIN THE I-495 CORRIDOR AND WILL BE ISSUING AN SPS FOR
THIS...BUT WILL HOLD OFF ON DENSE FOG ADVISORY AS MOST OBS SITES
REPORTING A HALF MILE OR SLIGHTLY BETTER FOR VSBYS.

OTHERWISE...A MOSTLY CLOUDY START TODAY WILL GIVE WAY TOWARD
CLEARING FROM N TO SE ACROSS THE REGION AFTER STRATUS AND FOG
BURN OFF THIS MORNING. A WEAKENED FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS THE
REGION...BUT EXPECT LITTLE FORCING ALONG IT UNTIL A STRONGER
SHORTWAVE APPROACHES TONIGHT. MANY LOCATIONS ARE LIKELY TO SEE
THE SUN AND AS SUCH...EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO REBOUND INTO THE LOW
AND POSSIBLY EVEN MID 70S IN A FEW SPOTS AS H92 TEMPS HOLD AROUND
+13C. CLOUDS AGAIN BEGIN TO FILTER OVER FROM SW TO NE DURING THE
EVENING HOURS. OVERALL...A PLEASANT DAY FOR MID OCTOBER STANDARDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
TONIGHT...
WITH STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY LINGERING INVOF SRN NEW ENGLAND...A
A PROGRESSIVE BUT SHARP SHORTWAVE ASSOCIATED WITH WEAK UPSTREAM
CONVECTION WILL YIELD A WAVE OF LOW PRES TO SLIDE ALONG THIS
FRONT DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. GIVEN PROGRESSIVE FLOW ALOFT AND
LIKELIHOOD THAT THIS WAVE STRUGGLES TO FULLY CUTOFF IT WILL LIKELY
ONLY TAKE ABOUT 6-8 HRS TO MOVE THROUGH...BETWEEN ABOUT 9PM /01Z/
AND 5AM /09Z/. THIS WAVE WILL BE COINCIDENT WITH THE POLEWARD
EXIT REGION OF A STRONG UPPER LVL JET STREAK...WHICH HAS SHIFTED
SLIGHTLY N IN THE LATEST FEW MODEL RUNS. GIVEN THIS...GUIDANCE
CONTINUES TO SHIFT WAVE PASSAGE AND HIGHEST QPF BULLSEYE FURTHER N
EACH RUN. HOWEVER...CORE OF H85 30-40 KT LLJ WILL SHIFT DIRECTLY
OVER SRN NEW ENGLAND AND WITH GULF MOISTURE IN TACT PWAT VALUES
BETWEEN 1.0 AND 1.5 INCHES WILL ADVECT OVER THE REGION.
THEREFORE...NOT READY TO FULLY SHIFT HEAVIEST RAINFALL AXIS
OUTSIDE OF THE BOX CWA WITH THIS UPDATE...BUT WILL ADJUST AXIS
FURTHER N ALONG WITH HIGHEST POP CHANCES. THERE STILL EXISTS THE
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN IN SPOTS...BUT THIS WILL BE CLOSER TO THE
WAVE ITSELF...ALONG THE NW PORTIONS OF MA AND SRN NH. THE WHOLE
SYSTEM IS PROGRESSIVE...BUT STILL NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION SOME
SPOTS IN NW MA AND SRN NH COULD SEE 0.5 TO 1.0 INCHES LOCALLY OF
TOTAL RAINFALL. LESS IS EXPECTED CLOSER TO THE S COAST...BUT IT
WILL LIKELY STILL BE ENOUGH TO WET THE GROUNDS. GIVEN THE FAST
MOVEMENT AND UNCERTAINTY IN HEAVIEST QPF...CONCERN FOR LOCALIZED
URBAN/POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING IS LOW...BUT GIVEN DECENT DYNAMICS
AND PWATS NEARLY TWO STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL...WILL NEED
TO MONITOR TRENDS THROUGH THE DAY TODAY.

OTHERWISE A MILD NIGHT BY FOR MID OCT...MIN TEMPS ONLY DIPPING
INTO THE MID LOW TO MID 50S.

FRI...
ANY REMNANT SHOWERS WILL BE SHIFTING NE OF THE REGION DURING THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS AND GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUPPORT VERY ROBUST
DRY SLOT SHIFTING IN RAPIDLY FROM THE SW. THEREFORE...EXPECT THAT
SOME AREAS MAY EVEN SEE THE SUNRISE PARTICULARLY CLOSER TO THE S
COAST AND THAT ALL AREAS SHOULD BE SEEING THE SUN BY ABOUT MID
DAY. THIS WILL KEEP HIGH TEMPS UP DESPITE SLIGHT DECREASE IN MID
LVL TEMPS. EXPECTING UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S TO DOMINATE. W WINDS
WILL BE BRISK DURING THE DAY...WITH GUSTS 20 TO 30 MPH AT TIMES
POSSIBLE.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
BIG PICTURE... BROAD UPPER TROUGH DIGS OVER THE CENTRAL USA AND
CANADA LATE THIS WEEK.  THE TROUGH THEN BROADENS OVER THE NORTHEAST
USA SUNDAY AND MONDAY. ONE SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH THE BASE OF THE
TROUGH SATURDAY AND ACROSS NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY NIGHT.  A SECOND
SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH THE BASE OF THE TROUGH EARLY IN THE WEEK.
AT THIS POINT THE MODELS DIVERGE IN SOLUTIONS WITH THE ECMWF DIGGING
A CLOSED LOW THAT SWEEPS THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND NORTHEAST THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.  THE GFS IS MORE OPEN AND HOLDS THE SHORTWAVE
BACK OVER THE GREAT LAKES.

THE DAILIES...

FRIDAY NIGHT-SATURDAY... HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE OVER THE NORTHEAST
USA SHOULD MAINTAIN DRY WEATHER. CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WIND WILL
ALLOW SURFACE TEMPS TO COOL TO NEAR DEWPOINT FRIDAY NIGHT.
DEWPOINTS ARE EXPECTED IN THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S...AND THIS IS OUR
TARGET FOR MIN TEMPS. SOME OF THE TRADITIONAL COLD SPOTS SUCH AS
VINEYARD AIRPORT HAVE A POTENTIAL TO END UP SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER
THAN THE CURRENT FORECAST. THIS COOLING WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR FOG
DEVELOPMENT IN SOME OF THE VALLEYS OF THE REGION. THEN ON SATURDAY
TEMPS AT THE TOP OF THE MIXED LAYER WILL SUPPORT SURFACE MAX TEMPS
IN THE LOW TO MID 60S. SOUTHWEST WINDS ALOFT IN THE MIXED LAYER ARE
FORECAST AROUND 20 KNOTS WHICH IS HIGHER THAN MODEL FORECASTS...WE
BUMPED VALUES UP TO AROUND 20 KT.

SATURDAY NIGHT-SUNDAY... UPPER SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH AS NOTED
ABOVE.  THIS WILL BE DRIVING A COLD FRONT THAT MOVES THROUGH
OVERNIGHT FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE AND DRIER COOLER AIR ON SUNDAY.
THE SHORTWAVE AND FRONT WILL BE MOVED ALONG BY A 150 KNOT UPPER JET.
 THE FRONT OF THE JET WILL FEED INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND SO
INITIALLY THE BEST SUPPORT FOR SHOWERS WILL BE THERE.  AS THE JET
AXIS PASSES DURING THE OVERNIGHT...SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL BE
SWEPT BY THE TRAILING RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF THE JET. PRECIP WATER
VALUES WILL BE AVERAGE TO A LITTLE ABOVE AVERAGE WHILE RH WILL BE
70% OR MORE UP THROUGH 10K FEET. THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT AT
LEAST SCATTERED SHOWERS...SO WE HAVE CHANCE POPS FOR THE OVERNIGHT.
WINDS SHIFT TO WEST BY 12Z WITH THE FRONT MOVING OFFSHORE.  EXPECT
DRYING AND CLEARING DURING SUNDAY.  TEMPS ALOFT WILL BE ABOUT 3C
COOLER THAN ON SATURDAY...SO MAX TEMPS SHOULD RANGE 55-65 AND MOSTLY
ON THE LOWER SIDE OF THIS RANGE. WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS IN THE MIXED
LAYER ARE 15-20 KNOTS EARLY AFTERNOON BUT FORECAST TO INCREASE TO
NEAR 25 KNOTS BY EVENING. WE BUMPED NORTHWEST GUSTS UP TO AROUND
20 KNOTS IN THE FORECAST...AND NOTE A SMALL POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS
NEAR 25 BEFORE SUNSET.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY... MOSTLY A DRY COOL PERIOD AS THE UPPER
TROUGH BULGES INTO THE NORTHEAST USA. AS NOTED BEFORE...A SHORTWAVE
MOVES THROUGH TOWARD MIDWEEK WITH SOME MODEL DIFFERENCES ON
ORIENTATION AND TIMING.  THE FORECAST BRINGS A PERIOD OF CLOUDS WITH
THE SURFACE FRONT AND UPPER SHORTWAVE WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF
SHOWERS FOUND NORTH OF THE MASS PIKE SOMETIME TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

AREAS OF FOG AND LOW STRATUS THIS MORNING WILL LEAD TO A MIX OF
MAINLY MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WHICH WILL LINGER...ESPECIALLY S OF THE
MASS PIKE INTO THE MID MORNING HOURS. THEN...PERIOD OF MVFR IS
EXPECTED AT MOST TERMINALS THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON TODAY WITH W
WINDS.

OVERNIGHT...A FAST MOVING WAVE WILL DELIVER SHOWERS AT MOST
TERMINALS WITH A PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS ESPECIALLY 03Z-10Z. RAPID
IMPROVEMENT IS EXPECTED EARLY FRI MORNING...WITH VFR EVERYWHERE
EXPECTED DURING THE DAY FRI. WINDS WILL GUST UP TO 20+ KTS DURING
THE DAY FRI.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TRENDS...LOWER CONFIDENCE IN
TIMING. OCCASIONAL MVFR/IFR DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS GIVES
WAY TO VFR MID MORNING AND THE REST OF TODAY. SOME -SHRA WITH MVFR
POSSIBLE AGAIN TONIGHT.

KBDL TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. MIX OF MVFR/IFR GIVES WAY TO
VFR MID MORNING.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...

MAINLY VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD.  CHANCE OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN SHOWERS
SATURDAY NIGHT.  WINDS ON SATURDAY WILL GUST FROM THE SOUTHWEST
AROUND 20 KNOTS. WINDS ON SUNDAY WILL GUST FROM THE NORTHWEST AROUND
20 KNOTS WITH POTENTIAL FOR 25 KNOTS IN THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

TODAY AND TONIGHT...
BUILDING SWELL WILL LEAD TO SEAS REACHING 5+ FEET FIRST ALONG THE
SRN OCEAN WATERS THIS EVENING AND THEN BUILDING TO THE EASTERN
OCEAN WATERS OVERNIGHT. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR THE
SRN WATERS AND HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE EASTERN WATERS AS WELL AS
BLOCK ISLAND AND RHODE ISLAND SOUNDS. WINDS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. OTHERWISE...SOME
SHOWERS AND FOG MAY LEAD TO LOCALIZED VSBY REDUCTIONS BOTH THIS
MORNING AND AGAIN OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AFTER A BREAK TODAY.

FRI...
BEHIND A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRES WHICH WILL MOVE INTO THE MARITIMES
EARLY FRI...W WINDS WILL INCREASE. EXPECTING WIND GUSTS 20-30 KT
AT TIMES DURING THE DAY ACROSS ALL WATERS. THEREFORE WILL HOIST AN
SCA FOR ALL WATERS DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...

FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...DIMINISHING WIND AND SEAS FRIDAY NIGHT
AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER THE WATERS. SOUTHWEST WINDS GUSTING TO
20 KNOTS SATURDAY.

SUNDAY-MONDAY...WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTING 25-30 KNOTS EACH
DAY.  SEAS BUILD TO 5-6 FEET ESPECIALLY ON THE OUTER WATERS. A SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED AT THAT TIME.
