AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
617 PM EDT THU JUL 18 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
VERY HOT AND HUMID AIR MOVES IN FOR FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. A COLD
FRONT WILL WILL CROSS THE REGION SATURDAY...SETTING OFF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS...AND SOME OF THOSE STORMS COULD BE SEVERE.
COOLER AND LESS HUMID HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE FRONT
SUNDAY THOUGH TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
WILL UPDATE TO INPUT LATEST OBSERVED DATA. HAVE INCREASED THE
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING BASED ON THE
LATEST RADAR. WILL MENTION GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE
WITH SOME THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

RELIED HEAVILY ON THE HRRR MODEL FOR THE FORECAST TONIGHT AS THIS
MODEL HAS HANDLED THINGS VERY WELL THE PAST FEW DAYS AND SEEMS TO
BE DOING SO ONCE AGAIN TODAY. CONVECTION HAS FIRED ON THE SEA
BREEZE BOUNDARY IN MAINE... WITH ACTIVITY TENDING TO FALL APART
AFTER IT ADVECTS INTO THE COOLER MARINE AIR. ADDITIONAL ISOLATED
STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. A
LARGER AREA OF STORMS DEVELOPED OVER THE ADIRONDACKS OF UPSTATE
NEW YORK AND WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH EASTWARD THROUGH VERMONT AND
INTO NEW HAMPSHIRE THIS AFTERNOON. WIND SHEAR IS SUFFICIENT FOR
SUPERCELLS... AND ALREADY A FEW HAVE BEEN OBSERVED. DAMAGING WINDS
AND HAIL WOULD BE THE THREATS FROM STORMS TODAY... ALTHOUGH HEAVY
RAIN WILL ALSO OCCUR. MODERATE STORM MOTIONS SHOULD LIMIT THE
FLASH FLOODING THREAT. EXPECT MOST OF THE ACTIVITY THIS EVENING TO
DIE DOWN AND MOVE OFF TO THE EAST BY AROUND MIDNIGHT. TEMPERATURES
TONIGHT WILL BE WARM... WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOW 70S.
FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
HOT AND HUMID AIR OVER THE MID ATLANTIC STATES TODAY... EVIDENCED
BY A BROAD AREA OF +20 C TEMPERATURES AT 850 MB... WILL BE
ADVECTED NORTHEAST AND INTO NEW ENGLAND ON FRIDAY. GFS AND NAM IN
GOOD AGREEMENT ON 850 MB TEMPERATURES OF +21 C BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON
OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. IN ADDITION...
SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL TRANSPORT HIGH DEW POINTS INTO THE AREA.
EXPECT THE DAY TO START OFF WITH LOW 70S DEW POINTS OVER MUCH OF
THE REGION. BUT A SURFACE TROUGH WILL PUSH EASTWARD ACROSS THE
AREA... SHIFTING WINDS FROM THE SOUTH TO THE WEST-SOUTHWEST. THIS
WEST TO SOUTHWEST WIND WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT DOWNSLOPING
COMPONENT TO IT... ALLOWING FOR GREATER MIXING. THIS MEANS THREE
THINGS... HIGHER TEMPERATURES... LOWER DEW POINTS... AND GREATER
WIND SPEEDS. AFTERNOON SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT AS PEAK HEATING
OCCURS... DEW POINTS WILL FALL INTO THE MID 60S BEHIND THE SURFACE
TROUGH. WITH DOWNSLOPING CONDITIONS... THE HOTTEST TEMPERATURES
WILL OCCUR AT LOWER ELEVATIONS WHICH IN THIS CASE MEANS THE COAST.
IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE SEA BREEZE WILL BE MUCH HELP OVER NEW
HAMPSHIRE AND SOUTHWEST MAINE ON FRIDAY AS SOUTHWEST WINDS KEEP
THE SEA BREEZE OFFSHORE. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO RISE INTO
THE UPPER 90S TO NEAR 100 DEGREES OVER ROCKINGHAM AND YORK
COUNTIES. RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES IN CONCORD (98) AND PORTLAND
(94) ARE IN DANGER OF BEING BROKEN.

TIME FOR A BRIEF LESSON ON THE HEAT INDEX. THE HEAT INDEX WAS
DEVELOPED AS A WAY TO APPROXIMATE THE "FEELS LIKE" TEMPERATURE. IT
COMBINES THE EFFECTS OF HEAT AND HUMIDITY TO COME UP WITH THE HEAT
INDEX VALUE. THE CALCULATION MAKES SOME ASSUMPTIONS THAT ARE OFTEN
THE CASE IN THE MOST OPPRESSIVELY HOT AND HUMID AIR MASSES...
ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT OCCUR FREQUENTLY IN THE SOUTH. HOWEVER...
THESE ASSUMPTIONS ARE NOT ALWAYS PRESENT. SOME OF THE ASSUMPTIONS
INVOLVED INCLUDE A RELATIVE HUMIDITY OF AT LEAST 40 PERCENT AND
LIGHT WIND SPEEDS. IN A HUMID ENVIRONMENT... THE BODY'S NORMAL WAY
OF COOLING ITSELF THROUGH SWEAT IS HAMPERED AS THE SWEAT DOES NOT
EVAPORATE OFF THE SKIN QUICKLY ENOUGH. HOWEVER... WITH RELATIVE
HUMIDITY BELOW 40 PERCENT... THE HUMIDITY DOES NOT HAVE AS GREAT
OF AN EFFECT ON THE BODY. ALSO... IF WINDS ARE STRONGER THE SWEAT
IS ABLE TO EVAPORATE BETTER DUE TO BETTER AIR FLOW NEAR THE SKIN
SURFACE. FOR FRIDAY IN NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND... ONE OR BOTH OF
THESE ASSUMPTIONS WILL FAIL. FORECAST RELATIVE HUMIDITY FALLS
BELOW 40 PERCENT DURING THE PEAK HEAT OF THE AFTERNOON AND WINDS
WILL BE GUSTING TO 25 MPH. BOTH OF THESE FACTORS WILL ACT TO
LIMIT THE ACTUAL EFFECT OF THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY... THOUGH HEAT
INDEX VALUES WILL BE VERY HIGH. THIS DOES NOT RENDER THE HEAT
INDEX MEANINGLESS... BUT INDICATES THAT THESE FACTORS MAY
PROVIDE SOME SLIGHT RELIEF FROM WHAT CONDITIONS OTHERWISE COULD
BE.

IN SPITE OF ANY LIMITATIONS INVOLVED IN THE HEAT INDEX... THE HEAT
AND HUMIDITY IS GOING TO FEEL OPPRESSIVE ON FRIDAY ESPECIALLY BY
NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND STANDARDS. HEAT INDEX VALUES ARE FORECAST TO
RISE ABOVE 100 DEGREES FOR SOUTHEAST NEW HAMPSHIRE AND SOUTHWEST
MAINE. A HEAT ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THIS
THREAT AND ALERT PEOPLE TO THE THREATS CAUSED BY THE HIGH HEAT AND
HUMIDITY. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT HEAT INDEX VALUES MAY RISE TO 105
DEGREES OR HIGHER OVER ROCKINGHAM... STRAFFORD... AND YORK
COUNTIES. IF IT DOES SO... THIS WILL TECHNICALLY REACH EXCESSIVE
HEAT WARNING CRITERIA FOR NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. IT WAS DECIDED NOT
TO ISSUE AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING AT THIS TIME DUE TO THE
UNCERTAINTY REGARDING MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES ACTUALLY REACHING THE
EXTREME VALUES FORECAST AND THE POSSIBILITY OF LOWER DEW POINTS
AND GUSTY WINDS IN THE AFTERNOON. LATER FORECAST SHIFTS MAY FEEL
THE NEED TO UPGRADE TO A WARNING FOR PORTIONS OF THE ADVISORY AREA
IF THE CURRENT FORECAST HOLDS TRUE. THOSE WITH OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
PLANNED... AND THOSE WITHOUT ACCESS TO AIR CONDITIONING WILL BE
PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO THE HEAT.

WITH THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY IN PLACE... THERE WILL ALSO BE PLENTY
OF INSTABILITY AVAILABLE FOR AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS. THIS APPEARS
MOST LIKELY IN NORTHERN AREAS. MODERATE TO STRONG MID/UPPER LEVEL
WINDS SUGGEST THAT ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE... AND
THUS SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAY OCCUR. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO BE A
THREAT DUE TO THE HUMID AIR IN PLACE.

TEMPERATURES WILL NOT COOL DOWN MUCH FRIDAY NIGHT AS HIGH HUMIDITY
AND SOME CLOUD COVER KEEP TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S AT NIGHT FOR
MOST AREAS. THIS WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR HOT BUILDINGS WITHOUT
AIR CONDITIONING TO COOL DOWN AT NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MAIN FOCUS OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST WILL BE SATURDAY AS SURFACE COLD
FRONT DROPS SOUTH INTO HOT AND VERY HUMID AIR MASS. DECENT HEIGHT
FALLS WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY MODERATE TO STRONG MID-LEVEL
WINDS...ABOVE HIGHLY UNSTABLE SURFACE AIR. THIS WILL SET THE STAGE
FOR GOOD POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER ON SATURDAY...ESPECIALLY IN
THE FORM OF DAMAGING WINDS. ONE LIMITING FACTOR COULD BE TIMING
OF PASSAGE OF PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH AND SUBSEQUENT COLD FRONT...WHICH
MAY CAUSE BEST CONVECTIVE FORCING TO OCCUR TOO EARLY.
HOWEVER...GIVEN WARM AND HUMID FRIDAY NIGHT...COULD SEE SEVERE
WEATHER AS EARLY AS LATE MORNING. THE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL
LIKELY CONTINUE INTO EARLY EVENING...BUT SHOULD END QUICKLY
AFTER THAT...WITH COOLER AND AND LESS HUMID BEGINNING TO SPILL
INTO THE CWA BEFORE DAYBREAK SUNDAY.

THE COOLER AND LESS HUMID HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE CWA
INTO TUESDAY. THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN WILL BE LATE TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY AS A WARM FRONT PUSHES NE INTO NEW ENGLAND.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...VFR EXPECTED THROUGH FRIDAY
NIGHT...EXCEPT FOR AFTERNOON/EVENING THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE AT
ALL TAF SITES AND LATE NIGHT FOG MAINLY AT LEB AND HIE WHICH COULD
LOWER CIG/VSBY.

LONG TERM...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS
ARE LIKELY AT TIMES ON SAT INTO SAT EVENING. OTHERWISE EXPECT MAINLY
VFR THROUGH TUE.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...WILL UPDATE TO INPUT
LATEST OBSERVED DATA RESULTING IN NO MORE THAN A FEW TWEAKS TO THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE ON FRIDAY AND MAY
SEE A FEW GUSTS APPROACH SCA LEVELS. WAVE HEIGHTS WILL INCREASE
AND MAY RISE TO AROUND THE 5 FT THRESHOLD FOR AN SCA FRIDAY
AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY NIGHT OVER THE OPEN WATERS.

LONG TERM...BORDERLINE SCA ON SATURDAY WITH SEAS TO AROUND 5 FT...
AND SW WINDS APPROACHING 25 KTS. WINDS SHIFT TO NW SATURDAY NIGHT
AND WEAKEN. THE WATERS REMAIN GENERALLY QUIET SUNDAY THRU TUESDAY.
