Special Weather Statement, NWS Boston/Norton, MA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
334 PM EDT FRI AUG 9 2013

.SYNOPSIS...

PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL TAPER
TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT SWEEPS THE REGION AND PUSHES OFFSHORE.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS WEEKEND
WITH DRY AND PLEASANT CONDITIONS AND SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES.
MOISTURE INCREASES ACROSS THE AREA ON MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY
AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT...WITH THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH OUR AREA BY
TUESDAY NIGHT. DRY WEATHER THEN RETURNS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
WORKWEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...

***FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR ALL OF THE FORECAST REGION***
***MASSACHUSETTS...RHODE ISLAND...NORTHERN CT...SOUTHERN NH***

4 PM UPDATE...

FIRST BATCH OF WIDESPREAD RAIN WITH EMBEDDED HEAVIER SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IS GRADUALLY MOVING OFFSHORE...BUT THERE
REMAINS A FEEDER FLOW OF SOUTHWEST TROPICAL AIR INTO THE TAIL OF
THE BATCH DOWN TOWARDS NEW YORK CITY.

MEANWHILE...WHILE THE MAIN COLD FRONT LAGS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE
EASTERN GREAT LAKES...THE PREVAILING TROUGH IS PROGRESSING THROUGH
UPSTATE NEW YORK INTO THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY. A SECONDARY LINE OF
WIDESPREAD RAIN WITH EMBEDDED HEAVIER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS
ORGANIZING ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS TROUGH AXIS. ANTICIPATING THIS
LINE TO MOVE INTO WESTERN NEW ENGLAND DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON
HOURS /AROUND 5 PM/ INTERACTING AND POTENTIALLY BLOSSOMING WITH
THE BETTER SOUTHWEST TROPICAL FLOW ACROSS THE REGION PRESENTLY.

THIS LINE WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF TAPPING INTO BETTER INSTABILITY
AND STORMS MAY HAVE SEVERE CHARACTERISTICS AS OUTLINED BELOW AS IT
MOVES INTO A REGION WHERE CLOUDS HAVE BROKEN ALLOWING SUNSHINE AND
BOUNDARY LAYER DESTABILIZATION.

ONE-HOUR RAINFALL RATES EXCEEDING 1 INCH WILL ONCE AGAIN BE A
POSSIBILITY WITH THE SECONDARY LINE.

EXPECTATIONS THIS AFTERNOON INTO EVENING...

1.) FLOODING

CONTINUING THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH TILL 9 PM WITH A CONTINUED
THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WHICH HAS BEEN
INUNDATED TODAY WITH STORM TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS RANGING FROM
AROUND 1 TO 4 INCHES.

THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION LIKELY TO
CONTINUE WITH THE AFTERNOON INTO EVENING COMMUTE. EXPECT ROADWAYS
TO REMAIN OR BECOME INUNDATED IN PLACES. MOST SUSCEPTIBLE WILL BE
LOW-LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS...ESPECIALLY IN URBAN
COMMUNITIES...AND INCLUDING THOSE AREAS PRONE TO QUICKLY RISING
SMALL STREAMS AND CREEKS.

2.) SEVERE WEATHER

CLOUD BREAKS EVIDENT BETWEEN THE BATCH OF HEAVY RAIN PUSHING
OFFSHORE OF EASTERN NEW ENGLAND...AND THE AFOREMENTIONED SECONDARY
TROUGH AXIS MOVING INTO THE MID- TO LOWER-HUDSON RIVER VALLEY.

AMPLE SUNSHINE WILL BE THE KEY TOWARDS MODIFYING THE ENVIRONMENT
MAKING IT FAVORABLE FOR BOUNDARY LAYER DESTABILIZATION AND
ENHANCING WEATHER ALONG THE SECONDARY TROUGH AXIS.

WILL RE-EMPHASIZE EARLIER POINTS...CONSIDERING NOTABLE TURNING OF
THE ATMOSPHERIC WIND PROFILE WITHIN THE LOW-LEVELS AND STRONG
EFFECTIVE SHEAR UP TO AROUND 35 KTS /SEE VERTICAL WIND PROFILERS
DERIVED FROM WSR-88D RADAR/. THIS ALONG WITH INSTABILITY VALUES
/MLCAPE/ POTENTIALLY RISING TO AROUND 1000 J/KG IN THE
AFOREMENTIONED REGION BETWEEN THE TWO AREAS OF DISTURBED WEATHER
ECHO THE SPC CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK FOR POTENTIAL STRONG TO DAMAGING
WINDS ALONG WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF A BRIEF TORNADO. WITH MARGINAL
MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND THIN CAPE PROFILES...NOT ANTICIPATING
ANY ROBUST LONG LONG-LIVED STORMS...RATHER SMALL DISCREET SHORT-
LIVED STORM CELLS.

FEEL THE ENHANCEMENT OF WINDS ALOFT COUPLED WITH DRAGGING OF
MOMENTUM TO THE SURFACE FURTHER HEIGHTENS THE THREAT OF STRONG TO
DAMAGING WINDS WITH ANY STORMS AND HEAVY RAIN CORES.

TONIGHT...

COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION INTO THE SATURDAY MORNING
TIMEFRAME ALONG AND AHEAD OF WHICH WIDESPREAD RAIN SHOWERS...SOME
OF WHICH WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS...WILL
PREVAIL. HEAVY RAIN WILL RESULT IN VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS ALONG
WITH FLOODING THREATS. AS SUCH THE REGION WILL REMAIN UNDER THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 9 PM AS MUCH OF THE AREA HAS BEEN
INUNDATED WITH HEAVY RAIN WITH STORM TOTAL AMOUNTS EXCEEDING 1
INCH AND AS SO HIGH AS 4 INCHES IN PLACES.

EXPECT SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT TO GUST AROUND 25
MPH AT TIMES...BACKING OUT OF THE WEST-NORTHWEST AND WEAKENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY THRU 6 AM SUNDAY/...

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...

COLD FRONT SWIFTLY TRACKS EAST OF THE COASTAL WATERS SATURDAY
MORNING...WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AS MUCH
DRIER AIR PUSHES INTO THE AREA. DURING THE MIDDAY/AFTERNOON EXPECT
SCATTERED DIURNAL STRATOCUMULUS CLOUDS.  WITH ABUNDANT SUNSHINE
EXPECT TEMPS TO CLIMB INTO THE LOW TO MID 80S FOR MUCH OF THE AREA.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA THRU SUNDAY...KEEPING DRY
CONDITIONS OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  SCATTERED DIURNAL CUMULUS
EXPECTED AGAIN DURING SUNDAY AFTERNOON...WITH SEA BREEZES DEVELOPING.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THRU FRIDAY/...

DAILIES...

MONDAY... HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFFSHORE AND MOISTURE BEGINS TO MOVE
BACK INTO THE AREA...WITH A COLD FRONT EVENTUALLY MAKING ITS WAY
THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION. MODELS SUGGEST THE POSSIBILITY FOR
SOME SHOWERS IN OUR AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON AND NIGHT WITH SOME
INCREASE IN CLOUDS...KEEPING POPS AT SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE. SO MAX
TEMPS ON MONDAY SHOULD REACH THE LOW TO MID 80S INLAND.

TUESDAY...
A SHORTWAVE FROM THE FAR NORTH SWINGS EAST ACROSS CANADA
ON TUESDAY. A SURFACE COLD FRONT SHOULD MOVE THROUGH NEW ENGLAND
TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. THE ECMWF...BEING DEEPER ALOFT...IS ALSO
SLOWER BRINGING THE COLD FRONT ACROSS NEW ENGLAND WITH TIMING MORE
LIKE TUESDAY NIGHT. EITHER WAY...THE FRONT HAS UPPER SUPPORT FROM
THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF A 95 KNOT JET. PRECIP WATER VALUES JUMP
BACK TO AROUND 1.5 INCHES. PUT IT TOGETHER...EXPECT A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS WITH THE FROPA.

WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY... HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION WITH A
RETURN TO DRY AIR WITH NO PRECIP. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL MEAN COOLER
TEMPS ALOFT...THE ECMWF HAS 850 TEMPS 10C WEDNESDAY AND 7C THURSDAY.
SEASONABLE TO SEASONABLY COOL TEMPS WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 70S AND
LOWS IN THE 50S...POSSIBLY A FEW HIGH 40S.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

OVERVIEW /THROUGH TONIGHT/...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

18Z UPDATE...

BETTER CONFIDENCE WITH TRENDS AS WEATHER BECOMES BETTER ORGANIZED.
LINE OF TSRA OVER WESTERN NEW ENGLAND. PREVAIL MVFR-IFR CIGS WITH
MVFR VSBYS ALONG AND AHEAD...IFR CIGS/VSBYS WITH IMPACT...LIFTING
MVFR-VFR THEREAFTER. WILL SEE GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS ACCOMPANYING
TSRA.

FOCUS THEN SHIFTS TO THE COLD FRONT AND LINE OF TSRA ENTERING THE
MID-HUDSON RIVER VALLEY REGION. TSRA POSSIBLE. EXPECTING A BRIEF
RETURN OF MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS WITH GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS.

BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...WINDS TO DIMINISH AND BACK OUT OF THE
WEST. SHOULD SEE CONDITIONS QUICKLY LIFT TO VFR AND PROCEED INTO
SATURDAY MORNING. LOWEST OF CONDITIONS WITH FOG TO LINGER ACROSS
THE SOUTHEAST TERMINALS OUT ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.

KBOS TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF. TEMPO IFR CONDITIONS
FOR THE HEAVY RAIN APPROACHING THE TERMINAL FROM THE WEST.

KBDL TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF. IMPROVING OVER THE
NEXT HOUR...BUT MAY SEE ANOTHER LINE OF TSRA AROUND 21Z.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

OVERALL...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR THESE PERIODS.

SATURDAY...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED AT ALL TERMINALS...LOW CHANCE
MVFR LINGERING ON CAPE AND ISLANDS EARLY.  NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
BECOME GUSTY WITH 20-KNOTS EXPECTED...25 KNOTS NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION. THE STRONGER GUSTS WILL BE MAINLY AFTERNOON AND THEN
DIMINISH IN THE EVENING.

SUNDAY-MONDAY...VFR WITH LIGHT WINDS.  SEA BREEZES ALONG THE COAST
WITH DAYTIME WIND SHIFTS TO SOUTHEAST AT BOSTON AND POSSIBLY
PROVIDENCE. PATCHY LOW VSBYS IN EARLY MORNING FOG EACH DAY.

TUESDAY...COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH DURING AFTERNOON OR EARLY NIGHT.
THIS MAY BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS WITH BRIEFLY LOWER CIGS AND
VSBYS. OTHERWISE VFR.

WEDNESDAY...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED.

&&

.MARINE...

FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

OVERVIEW /THROUGH TONIGHT/...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

SOUTHWEST WINDS GUSTING UP TO AROUND 25 KTS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT
WILL RESULT IN FETCH ACROSS THE WATERS AND SEAS TO BUILD IN EXCESS
OF 5 FEET...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS. ALSO ANTICIPATE
WIDESPREAD RAIN WITH EMBEDDED HEAVIER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
THIS WILL RESULT IN REDUCED VISIBILITIES AT TIMES ALONG WITH THE
THREAT OF LIGHTNING. THERE IS A LOWER PROBABILITY THAT STRONGER
STORMS WILL CONTAIN GALE FORCE WINDS.

AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES OFFSHORE AND OUT TO SEA...WINDS WILL
BACK OUT OF THE WEST-NORTHWEST AND DIMINISH...ALLOWING SEAS TO
RELAX.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

SATURDAY...SEAS GRADUALLY SUBSIDE OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY AS COLD
FRONT TRACKS WELL EAST OF THE WATERS...BUT SEAS TO 5 FT LINGER ON
THE OUTER COASTAL WATERS THRU EARLY AFTERNOON. NORTHWEST WINDS GUST
TO 20 KTS ARE EXPECTED ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COASTLINE...THERE IS A
LOW CHANCE FOR SCA GUSTS TO 25 KTS OCCURRING OVER THE WATERS DURING
THE DAY.

SUNDAY AND MONDAY...WINDS AND SEAS EXPECTED TO BE BELOW SMALL CRAFT
LEVELS.

TUESDAY...A COLD FRONT APPROACHES NEW ENGLAND AND MAY BRING A SHOWER
OR TSTM TO THE WATERS IN THE AFTERNOON.  SOUTHWEST WINDS PICK UP A
LITTLE BUT SHOULD STAY BELOW 25 KNOTS. SEAS REMAIN BELOW 5 FEET.

WEDNESDAY...SHOWERS COME TO AN END EARLY BEHIND COLD FRONT...WINDS
AND SEAS EXPECTED TO BE BELOW SCA CRITERIA.
