AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
428 AM EDT WED OCT 22 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW CLOUDS...FOG AND SPOTTY LIGHT RAIN/DRIZZLE THIS MORNING WILL BE
REPLACED BY A SOAKING WIND SWEPT RAIN LATER THIS AFTERNOON...TONIGHT
INTO EARLY THURSDAY IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN INTENSIFYING COASTAL
STORM. SHOWERS WILL LINGER FRIDAY AS THE STORM SLOWLY PULLS AWAY
FROM NEW ENGLAND. MAINLY DRY WEATHER EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND WITH
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
*** A WINDSWEPT SOAKING RAIN WITH POTENTIAL FLOODING BEGINS LATER
TODAY AND CONTINUES TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING ***
RELATIVELY QUIET THIS MORNING WITH ONLY PATCHY FOG AND SPOTTY LIGHT
RAIN/DRIZZLE IMPACTING THE REGION. HOWEVER WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
INDICATING IMPRESSIVE TROUGH AMPLIFICATION WITH A NEW WARM CONVEYOR
BELT DEVELOPING OFF THE DELAWARE COAST AND THEN WRAPPING
CYCLONICALLY BACK INTO NJ AND EASTERN PA...FORMING A TROWAL. THIS
AREA OF STRONG ASCENT WILL OVERSPREAD SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND FROM
SOUTH OF NORTH BETWEEN 21Z AND 00Z.
MEANWHILE THIS TROUGH AMPLIFICATION WILL RESULT IN A STRONG RESPONSE
AT THE SURFACE WITH LOW PRES OFF THE DELAWARE COAST INTENSIFYING
TODAY. AS A RESULT ONSHORE PGRAD WILL DEVELOP WITH A STRONG LOW
LEVEL NORTHEAST JET EVOLVING OVER THE EASTERN MA WATERS INTO MUCH
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THIS WILL RESULT IN A WINDSWEPT RAIN EVENT
LATER TODAY ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION ESPECIALLY EASTERN MA.
THE ONSET OF THE HEAVY RAIN /21Z-00Z/ WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE 2ND
HALF OF THE EVENING COMMUTE.
AS FOR TEMPS...NOT AS WARM AS YESTERDAY AS N-NE FLOW IS WELL
ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE REGION.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
TONIGHT...
STRONG SHORT WAVE TROUGH FORMING THE TROWAL MOVES ACROSS THE AREA
YIELDING STRONG FORCING FOR ASCENT. IMPRESSIVE LOW LEVEL JET OF 50
TO 60 KT FROM THE GULF OF MAINE INTO EASTERN NEW ENGLAND PROVIDES
STRONG LOW LEVEL WARM AIR ADVECTION. THIS LOW LEVEL WARM ANOMALY
WILL COMBINE WITH COLD AIR ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LEVEL LOW
TO YIELD A DEEP LAYER OF MOIST ADIABATIC LAPSE RATES. THIS WILL
LIKELY BE SUFFICIENT FOR SOME CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS TO DEVELOP WITHIN
THE TROWAL AND INCREASE THE RISK FOR FLOODING.
GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT FOR A WIDESPREAD 1.5 TO 2.5 INCHES OF RAINFALL
ACROSS THE REGION. HIGH RES MODELS SUCH AS THE W-ARW HAS UP TO 4" OF
RAINFALL ACROSS EASTERN MA NORTHWEST-WARD INTO SOUTHERN NH. THESE
HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE GIVEN THE STRONG JET DYNAMICS AND
INSTABILITY ALOFT. IN ADDITION WILL LIKELY SEE SOME RAINFALL
ENHANCEMENT ACROSS THE UPSLOPE REGIONS OF THE WORCESTER HILLS AND
MONADNOCKS. CONVERSELY MAY SEE SOME SHADOWING ON THE WEST SIDE OF
THIS HIGHER TERRAIN. GIVEN GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT ON A WIDESPREAD
RAINFALL OF 1.5 TO 2.5 INCHES ALONG WITH RISK OF HIGHER AMOUNTS IN
CONVECTION AND FFG ONLY AROUND 3 INCHES WE ISSUED A FLOOD WATCH FOR
EASTERN MA AND SOUTHEAST NH.
IT WILL BE WINDY TONIGHT WITH NE WINDS 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO
35 MPH...HIGHEST ACROSS NORTHEAST MA.
THURSDAY...
BANDS OF HEAVY RAIN WITHIN THE TROWAL WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA
DURING THE MORNING. HOWEVER DRY SLOT SHOULD OVERSPREAD THE REGION IN
THE AFTERNOON WITH RAIN TRANSITIONING TO SCATTERED SHOWERS IN THE
AFTERNOON.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
* LINGERING SHOWERS POSSIBLE ON FRI
* MAINLY DRY AND SEASONABLE WEATHER THIS WEEKEND
OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCES...
22.00Z MODEL GUIDANCE SUITE IS STARTING TO SHOW BETTER AGREEMENT
WITH NOT ONLY THE EXIT OF THE UPPER LVL CUTOFF THROUGH THE END OF
THE WEEK...BUT ALSO WITH THE SHORTWAVE THAT WILL ASSIST WITH THIS
SHIFT FOR THE WEEKEND. THE PREVIOUS DIFFERENCE IN TILT OF THIS
SECONDARY SHORTWAVE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN RESOLVED SOMEWHAT. WITH
OPERATIONAL RUNS NOW DISPLAYING A BIT OF A NEGATIVE TILT.
THEREFORE...GIVEN THIS BETTER AGREEMENT A GENERAL BLEND OF
OPERATIONAL GFS/ECMWF SHOULD PROVIDE A GOOD BASELINE FOR THIS LONG
TERM UPDATE.
DEFINING THE LONG TERM...WILL INITIALLY BE THE EXITING CUTOFF AND
OCCLUSION. HOWEVER...AFTER BRIEF MESO-RIDGE YET ANOTHER ROBUST
WAVE AND ATTENDANT COLD FRONT MOVE THROUGH OVER THE WEEKEND.
THEREFORE...EXPECT AN UNSETTLED START TO THE LONG TERM...FOLLOWED
BY GRADUAL DRYING BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.
DETAILS...
THU NIGHT INTO FRI...
THE FIRST OF A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES WILL FINALLY FORCE THE
STALLED UPPER LVL CUTOFF AND SFC LOW PRES TO BEGIN A SHIFT INTO
THE MARITIMES DURING THIS PERIOD. THU NIGHT...CONTINUED -SHRA
ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED AS THE REMNANT WARM CONVEYOR REMAINS JUST
OFFSHORE. HOWEVER...DRIER AIR WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE REGION
AS WINDS TAKE ON A MORE WESTERLY COMPONENT...SUCH THAT LESS
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED ON FRI...WITH EVEN A FEW MORE
BREAKS OF SUN POSSIBLE. THEREFORE..EXPECT GRADUALLY DECREASING
POPS THROUGH THE PERIOD. MINS STILL ON THE MILD SIDE AS DWPTS
REMAIN ELEVATED THU NIGHT...BUT HIGHS ON FRI MAY BE A BIT WARMER
THANKS TO DIMINISHING ONSHORE FLOW AND CLOUD COVER. MAINLY UPPER
50S AND LOW 60S.
FRI NIGHT INTO SAT...
POTENTIAL FOR A MAINLY DRY PERIOD HERE IS WEAK RIDGING BUILDS
ACROSS THE AREA BETWEEN THE FIRST SHORTWAVE...AND A SLIGHTLY
STRONGER WAVE DIVING OUT OF CENTRAL CANADA. MAINLY NW FLOW...WITH
TEMPS CLOSER TO SEASONAL NORMALS...IF NOT A BIT WARMER THANKS TO
H85 AVERAGING ABOUT +5C. MAY SEE SOME HIGHS IN THE MID 60S.
SAT NIGHT THRU SUN...
SECONDARY ROBUST BUT FAST MOVING SHORTWAVE WILL PUSH LOW PRES
THROUGH QUEBEC...DRAGGING A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION LATE SAT
NIGHT INTO SUN. MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW ENOUGH MOISTURE /EVEN UNDER
NW FLOW/ FOR SLIGHT TO CHANCE POPS WITH THIS FROPA. NOT EXPECTING
WIDESPREAD OR PARTICULARLY HEAVY SHOWERS GIVEN THE DRY NW FLOW. IN
FACT...SRN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA MAY REMAIN MOSTLY DRY
THANKS TO ENHANCED DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT TOWARD THE S COAST.
SLIGHTLY COOLER AIRMASS MOVES IN WITH THIS COLD FROPA...SO WILL
LEAN TEMPS TOWARD A COOLER THAN NORMAL HIGHS AND NEAR NORMAL LOWS.
MON AND TUE...
GUIDANCE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT HIGH PRES FINALLY IS ABLE
TO NOSE ACROSS THE AREA FROM THE S. THIS ALLOWS GRADUAL WARMING
THROUGH THE COLUMN AND DRY CONDITIONS. THE WARMING MAY YIELD H85
TEMPS NEAR +14C BY TUE EVENING. THEREFORE...WILL LIKELY SEE ENOUGH
WARMING TO YIELD TEMPERATURES ABOVE NORMAL...POSSIBLY THE UPPER
60S TO NEAR 70 BY TUE.
WED...
GUIDANCE DIFFERS HERE ON THE TIMING OF A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE.
YIELDING SOLUTIONS OF A PASSAGE DURING THE DAY ON WED...TO DURING
THE DAY ON THU. THEREFORE...MAY AT LEAST HAVE SOME SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS FOR A SHOWER WITH THIS FROPA.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS HIGH ON OVERALL TRENDS BUT LOWER ON EXACT
DETAILS INCLUDING TIMING.
TODAY...IFR CONDITIONS IN LOW CLOUDS/FOG AND SPOTTY DRIZZLE THIS
MORNING SHOULD LIFT TO MVFR AS A STEADY RAIN MOVES ONSHORE AFTER
18Z. ALSO NE WINDS WILL INCREASE TODAY WITH STRONGEST WINDS OVER
NORTHEAST MA INTO SOUTHEAST NH WHERE GUSTS UP TO 35 KT ARE
POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY DURING PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN. LLWS LIKELY AS
LOW LEVEL NORTHEAST JET DEVELOPS OVER SOUTHERN NH AND NORTHEAST
MA. CHANCE OF ISOLATED THUNDER OVER RI AND SOUTHEAST MA AFTER 21Z.
TONIGHT...IFR/LIFR IN PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN WITH EMBEDDED THUNDER.
LLWS ACROSS EASTERN AND CENTRAL MA AND SOUTHERN NH. GUSTY NE WINDS
ESPECIALLY IN THE HEAVIER RAIN BANDS.
THU...IFR/LIFR IN PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN DURING THE MORNING THEN
TRENDING TOWARD MVFR LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AS HEAVY RAIN TAPERS
OF SCATTERED SHOWERS. LLWS POSSIBLE IN THE MORNING OVER SOUTHERN
NH AND CENTRAL-EASTERN MA.
KBOS...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF BUT LOW CONFIDENCE ON EXACT
DETAILS. LLWS LIKELY AFTER 18Z AS STRONG NE LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS
AND PERSIST INTO THU AM.
KBDL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF BUT LOW CONFIDENCE ON EXACT
DETAILS. LOW PROB OF LLWS TONIGHT INTO THU AM AS STRONG LOW LEVEL
NE JET DEVELOPS.
OUTLOOK...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...
THURSDAY NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
MAINLY MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE AS WIDESPREAD SHOWERS/FOG ARE
EXPECTED.
FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT. MAINLY VFR AS WINDS SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST.
