AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
428 PM EDT SAT MAR 29 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
RAIN BECOMES HEAVY AT TIMES ALL AREAS TONIGHT...AND ACROSS RI AND
SOUTHEAST MA SUNDAY MORNING...AS A COASTAL LOW MOVES OFFSHORE
SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND. THIS COASTAL LOW LINGERS INTO MONDAY...
ALONG WITH THE THREAT OF ADDITIONAL RAINFALL...THEN FOLLOWED BY
DRIER AND MILDER WEATHER TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
* A PERIOD OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND POSSIBLE FLOODING

29/12Z GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THEIR OVERALL SYNOPTIC
SOLUTIONS. AS SUCH...STAYED CLOSE TO THE GUIDANCE CONSENSUS TO
HANDLE BOTH THE TRACK AND TIMING FOR THIS THIS FORECAST.

SIGNALS ARE STILL PRESENT FOR A SIGNIFICANT RAIN EVENT. 29/06Z
GEFS ENSEMBLES CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT +2 TO +3 STANDARD DEVIATION
ANOMALY IN BOTH PRECIPITABLE WATER...AS WELL AS FOR EASTERLY FLOW
AT 925 MB. THUS...THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF MOISTURE AND EASTERLY
UPSLOPE FLOW TO PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL AT TIMES. DESPITE THE
STRONG EASTERLY FLOW...EXPECTING A STRONG LOW LEVEL INVERSION...
WHICH WILL PREVENT MUCH STRONGER WINDS FROM REACHING THE SURFACE.
THERE SHOULD BE GUSTY WINDS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE EAST COAST.

EXPECTING A LOW PRESSURE TO MOVE OFF THE COAST OF SOUTHERN NJ THIS
EVENING. THIS LOW PRESSURE GETS CAPTURED BY A CLOSED MID LEVEL
LOW...WHICH WILL SLOW ITS EASTWARD PROGRESS THROUGH SUNDAY. THAT
SAID...THERE DOES APPEAR TO BE A DRY SLOT WHICH SHOULD ARRIVE
SUNDAY AFTERNOON. WHILE NOT THINKING THERE WILL BE A COMPLETELY
DRY PERIOD ACROSS ALL OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...AM THINKING THERE
WILL BE AT LEAST A LITTLE LESS IN THE WAY OF RAINFALL SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND.

GENERALLY COOL AND DAMP TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. USED A BLEND OF THE
GUIDANCE FOR TEMPERATURES. EXPECTING NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
* COASTAL STORM BRINGS PERIODS OF RAIN SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
  MONDAY WITH POCKETS OF ICE NW MA AND SW NH *

GFS AND ECMWF IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT WITH VERTICALLY STACKED LOW
PRESSURE MOVING SLOWLY EAST FROM THE DELMARVA COAST AND TRACKING
NEAR OF JUST SOUTH OF THE BENCHMARK EARLY MONDAY. AS A RESULT WE
USED A BLEND OF GFS/ECMWF AS A BASIS FOR THE FORECAST. THE MAIN
HAZARDS ARE MULTIPLE CYCLES OF MINOR COASTAL FLOODING...LOCALLY
HEAVY RAIN...POSSIBLE ICE NW ZONES...AND GUSTY WINDS EASTERN NEW
ENG.

RAINFALL...
DRY SLOT MOVES INTO SNE SUN EVENING WHICH WILL RESULT IN A LULL
IN THE RAINFALL FOR A TIME. HOWEVER...WELL DEFINED COMMA HEAD
DEVELOPS TO THE NW AND FOCUS FOR HEAVIER RAIN WILL SHIFT TO
WESTERN NEW ENG DURING THE NIGHT. MODELS CONSISTENT WITH NICE
TROWAL STRUCTURE WITHIN THE COMMA HEAD WITH DEEP LAYER THETA-E
RIDGE AXIS WHICH WILL LEAD TO A BAND OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN.
INITIALLY THIS HEAVIER RAINFALL WILL BE WEST OF THE REGION BUT IS
EXPECTED TO AFFECT W ZONES DURING THE NIGHT AS IT PIVOTS EAST. IN
ADDITION...MODELS INDICATE SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY SUNDAY
EVENING WHICH MAY LEAD TO ISOLD CONVECTION AND THUNDER AT THE
EDGE OF THE DRY SLOT. COMMA HEAD AND TROWAL SWINGS EAST DURING
MONDAY AND EXPECT A PERIOD OF MOSTLY LIGHT RAIN TO MOVE ACROSS
REST OF SNE. RAIN EXITS MON NIGHT FROM WEST TO EAST ALTHOUGH
SHOWERS MAY LINGER ACROSS EASTERN MA INTO THE NIGHT...POSSIBLY
MIXING WITH SLEET AND SNOW BEFORE ENDING AS COLDER AIR GETS DRAWN
IN.

ICE POTENTIAL...
WE DISCOUNTED THE NAM WHICH APPEARED TO BE TOO AGGRESSIVE WITH THE
COLD AIR. USING A BLEND OF THE GFS/ECMWF...AS LOW PRES MOVES OFF
THE COAST LOW LEVEL COLD AIR DRAINS SOUTH INTO THE REGION. MAIN
THREAT AREA FOR SUB FREEZING TEMPS AND AREAS OF FREEZING RAIN
WILL BE ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN IN NW/NC MA AND SW NH LATE SUN
NIGHT INTO MON MORNING. WE EXPECT TEMPS TO REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING
ELSEWHERE. DEPENDING ON THE EXPECT OF RAINFALL...ICE ACCRETION
OF A TENTH OF AN INCH IS POSSIBLE WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS.
ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED ACROSS NW ZONES.

WIND...
N/NE LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS ACROSS SNE SUN NIGHT...THEN SHIFTS
ACROSS EASTERN NEW ENG DURING MONDAY. WHILE IT WILL BE BREEZY SUN
NIGHT...SOUNDINGS SUGGEST POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS TO 40-45 MPH ACROSS
EASTERN NEW ENG DURING MON. LOW PROB WIND ADVISORIES WILL BE
NEEDED...ESPECIALLY FOR CAPE/ISLANDS.

COASTAL FLOODING...
MINOR COASTAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE DURING MULTIPLE TIDE CYCLES.
SEE COASTAL FLOOD SECTION BELOW.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
OVERVIEW...

WAVES MOVE IN OVER THE MIDSECTION OF THE CONUS WITH AN UPPER
LEVEL LOW IN NORTHERN CANADA ALSO HAVING WAVES ROTATE AROUND IT.
A SUBTROPICAL JET SETS UP FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD WITH
WEAKER WAVES ALONG IT. FOR THE EARLY PART OF THE PERIOD...THE WAVE
STREAMS ARE SEPARATED. ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE NORTHERN AND
SOUTHERN STREAMS BECOME PHASED OVER THE WESTERN CONUS THEN LIFTS
NORTH TO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW IN NORTHERN
CANADA RETREATS FURTHER NORTH. THIS ALLOWS FOR MORE OF A ZONAL
PATTERN AS THE WAVE STREAMS BECOME WEAKER AND MORE WAVE-SPARSE.

MODEL PREFERENCES...

MODELS HAVE TENDED TO HANDLE THE PERIOD WELL GOING INTO EARLY
FRIDAY. THE COLD FRONT FROM THE LOW MOVING INTO CANADA IS SCRAPING
NORTHERN MA WITH PRECIPITATION ON THE 12Z CMC/GFS WHEREAS THE 00Z
ECENS/ECMWF ARE NOT. HAVE FOLLOWED THE WPC SO HAVE GONE AWAY FROM
THE ECMWF SOLUTION. THE MOVEMENT OF THE CYCLING LOW IN THE NORTHEAST
PORTION OF THE COUNTRY IS MORE NORTH ON THE ECMWF/ECENS AND MORE
SOUTH IN THE GFS/GEFS/CMC/CMCE. HAVE TRENDED MORE WITH THE
ECENS/ECMWF BASED WPC TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

MID LEVEL RIDGING AND CORRESPONDING SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE EXISTS
DURING THIS TIMEFRAME WITH SEASONALLY AVERAGE TO SLIGHTLY COOL
TEMPERATURES.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...

BEHIND THE RIDGE...A WARM FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION...BUT SHOULD
STALL AND NOT MOVE MOVE ACROSS THE REGION. WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE
NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH AS SHOWN ON THE ECENS/ECMWF/GFS SINCE A
SLIGHTLY EARLIER TIMING COULD MEAN MORE MOISTURE MOVES INTO THE
REGION.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TRENDS.  MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TIMING.

THROUGH 00Z...COMBINATION OF VFR/MVFR AS RAINFALL MOVES NORTH.

TONIGHT...WIDESPREAD RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES WITH MVFR CONDITIONS
LOWERING TO IFR/LIFR BY SUNDAY MORNING. LLWS ACROSS RI AND
SOUTHEAST MA AS STRONG LOW LEVEL SOUTHEAST JET MOVES ACROSS THIS
AREA 09Z-15Z. ENE WINDS BEGIN TO STRENGTHEN TO 20-25 KT.

SUNDAY...LLWS CONTINUES ACROSS SOUTHEAST MA UNTIL ABOUT 15Z WITH
STRONG LOW LEVEL JET THEN MOVING OFFSHORE. HIGH PROBABILITY FOR
WIDESPREAD IFR/LIFR GIVEN MOIST ONSHORE FLOW AND DRIER AIR ALOFT.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. AREAS OF
MVFR/IFR CIGS/VSBYS IN RAIN/FOG. AREAS OF FREEZING RAIN POSSIBLE
LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY ACROSS THE NORTHWEST INTERIOR. GUSTY
N WINDS TO 35-40 KT POSSIBLE MONDAY EASTERN NEW ENGLAND.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. AFTER
RAIN MOVES OUT...CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE. MAINLY VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

LOWERING VSBY AS RAINFALL MOVES NORTH ACROSS THE WATERS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HEAVY RAIN AND PATCHY FOG WILL ALSO
CONTRIBUTE TO LOWER VISIBILITY TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY. INCREASING
SOUTHEAST WINDS LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS A LOW PRESSURE MOVES
SOUTH OF THE WATERS. WINDS BECOME NORTHEAST SUNDAY...AND MAY REACH
GALE FORCE LATE IN THE DAY FROM THE MERRIMACK RIVER SOUTHWARD TO
THE BOSTON AREA WATERS.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE. EXPECT N/NE
GALES DEVELOPING...FIRST ACROSS NE MA WATERS BY SUN EVENING
SPREADING TO THE REST OF THE WATERS MON INTO MON NIGHT AS
PERSISTENT LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS ACROSS THE WATERS. SEAS
INCREASE TO 15-18 FT OVER THE EASTERN WATERS. VISIBILITIES WILL
LIKELY BE LIMITED AT TIMES IN RAIN AND FOG.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. WINDS AND SEAS
DIMINISH AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD OVER THE WATERS.
HEADLINES WILL PROBABLY BE NEEDED FOR SEAS ABOVE 5 FEET.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT ON THE LARGE SCALE FEATURES...LEADING TO
BETTER AGREEMENT ON THE MAGNITUDE AND AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL.
THIS SUPPORTS A WIDESPREAD 1.5 TO 2.5 INCHES OF RAINFALL WITH A
LOW RISK OF LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OF 3-3.5 INCHES. THIS MATCHES
OUR CURRENT FLOOD WATCH CONFIGURATION AS WELL.

PAST EVENTS HAVE SHOWN HEAVY RAINFALL HAVING TROUBLE DRAINING IN
THE CITIES OF NEW BEDFORD AND FALL RIVER WHENEVER TIDES ARE
ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH...WHICH WILL BE THE CASE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.
IF LATER MODEL RUNS OFFER HEAVIER RAINFALL A FLOOD WATCH MAY BE
NEEDED FOR THIS REGION.

MARCH PRECIPITATION HAS BEEN FAIRLY SPARSE ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND...BUT WE MAY MAKE UP FOR THIS IN ABUNDANCE DURING THIS
WEEKEND. RIVERS AND STREAMS ARE RUNNING BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME
OF YEAR...WHICH PROVIDES US A BUFFER. WITH VEGETATION STILL
DORMANT AND SNOWMELT ACROSS THE FAR INTERIOR...THERE IS SUFFICIENT
CONCERN FOR MINOR FLOODING ON AREA RIVERS AND STREAMS. POOR
DRAINAGE AREAS...SMALL STREAMS...AND SOME LARGER TRIBUTARY
RIVERS WILL BE AT RISK. IN ADDITION...THE MORE VULNERABLE FORECAST
LOCATIONS ON THE LOWER MAINSTEM CONNECTICUT RIVER WILL NEED TO BE
MONITORED OVER THE COURSE OF THIS EVENT.

FOR RIVER FORECAST POINTS THAT ARE BEING MONITORED...GO TO
HTTP:/WATER.WEATHER.GOV/AHPS2/FORECASTS.PHP?WFO=BOX. LOCATIONS OF
CONCERN ARE THOSE FORECAST TO GO TO ACTION STAGE OR HIGHER.  NOTE
THAT THE FORECASTS GO OUT 72 HOURS...AND IN SOME INSTANCES THE
GAUGES ARE FORECAST TO BE CLIMBING THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD. AS MENTIONED...AT THIS TIME MINOR FLOODING IS EXPECTED TO BE
THE THREAT ON THE LARGER RIVERS.

WHILE REPORTS FROM OFFICIALS ACROSS THE INTERIOR INDICATE RIVER
ICE HAS DECREASED IN COVERAGE AND THICKNESS OVER THE PAST TWO
WEEKS...THERE ARE STILL INDICATIONS THAT SOME RIVERS AND STREAMS
IN SOUTHWEST NEW HAMPSHIRE AND FAR NORTHWEST MASSACHUSETTS HAVE
SUFFICIENT ICE TO WARRANT A LOW RISK OF ICE JAMS AND ICE JAM
RELATED FLOODING.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THIS SYSTEM POSES SOME RISK OF COASTAL FLOODING AND BEACH EROSION
SINCE THE ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES ARE RELATIVELY HIGH. THE
SITUATION IS A BIT COMPLICATED WITH BOTH SOUTH AND EAST COASTS AS
WELL AS MULTIPLE HIGH TIDE CYCLES AT RISK. AT THIS TIME THE IMPACT
LOOKS TO BE MOSTLY MINOR BUT JUST A FAIRLY MODEST STRENGTHENING OF
THE COASTAL LOW COULD RESULT IN A MODERATE IMPACT AT A FEW
LOCATIONS.

SOUTH COAST...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE OF MINOR COASTAL FLOODING
DURING THE SUNDAY MORNING HIGH TIDE IN PORTIONS OF NARRAGANSETT BAY
AND OTHER PORTIONS OF THE RI/MA COAST INCLUDING WESTPORT. A VIGOROUS
LOW LEVEL JET OF 50 TO 60 KT IS EXPECTED TO INDUCE A MODEST STORM
SURGE OF  1 TO 1.5 FOOT SURGE...HIGHEST UPPER PART OF NARRAGANSETT
BAY...FOR THE SUN MORNING HIGH TIDE. WAVES APPROACHING 10 FT JUST
OFFSHORE MAY BE SUFFICIENT FOR SOME SPLASHOVER AT THE TIME OF THE
HIGH TIDE ALONG SOME SOUTH COAST EXPOSED BEACHES SUCH AS THE NEWPORT
AND WESTPORT SOUTH COAST BEACHES AS WELL AS THE WEST ISLAND CAUSEWAY
IN FAIRHAVEN.

EAST COAST OF MA...LOW RISK FOR MINOR COASTAL FLOODING/SPASHOVER
DURING THE MIDDAY SUNDAY HIGH TIDE...MAINLY FROM SCITUATE
NORTHWARD WHERE AXIS OF LOW LEVEL JET WILL BE APPROACHING FROM
THE NORTH. HOWEVER...IMPACTS FROM THIS HIGH TIDE APPEAR TO BE
RELATIVELY LOW AS STRONGER WINDS/SURGE AND HIGHER SEAS WILL HOLD
OFF UNTIL LATE SUN/SUN NIGHT.

STRONG N/NNE FLOW BECOMES ESTABLISHED LATE SUN THROUGH MON AND
THEN BECOMING MORE NNW BY MON NIGHT. ALTHOUGH AT THIS TIME THE
IMPACTS LOOK TO BE MOSTLY MINOR...MULTIPLE HIGH TIDE CYCLES ARE
LIKELY TO BE INVOLVED AND JUST A MODESTLY STRONGER SYSTEM AND
ASSOCIATED NNE WINDS COULD RESULT IN POCKETS OF MODERATE IMPACTS.
GIVEN THAT MULTIPLE TIDE CYCLES WILL LIKELY BE AFFECTED...AT LEAST
SOME BEACH EROSION IS LIKELY FROM SALISBURY TO CAPE ANN INCLUDING
PLUM ISLAND...THE PLYMOUTH COUNTY COAST...N AND OCEAN SIDES OF
CAPE COD AND THE E SIDE OF NANTUCKET BEFORE THIS EVENT IS OVER.
