AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1027 PM EDT TUE JUN 17 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS NEW ENGLAND
TONIGHT FROM WEST TO EAST. A FEW STORMS MAY CONTAIN STRONG WINDS
AND HEAVY RAIN ESPECIALLY ACROSS WESTERN SECTIONS OF MA AND CT.
VERY WARM AND DRY WEATHER RETURNS WEDNESDAY. DRY AND COOLER
WEATHER FOLLOWS LATE IN THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. LOW PRESSURE
MAY BRING SHOWERS EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

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

10 PM UPDATE...
LINE OF TSTMS IN NORTHERN NEW YORK MOVES EAST. THIS IS TIED TO THE
WEATHER SYSTEM THAT CAUSED ACTIVE WEATHER IN THE PLAINS
YESTERDAY...AND IS SUPPORTED BY THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF AN
UPPER JET ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER. THETA-E RIDGE OVER CENTRAL
NY RACES EAST OVERNIGHT AND SHOULD SUPPORT SOME SHOWERS/TSTMS. THE
BEST DYNAMICS REMAIN UP NORTH...BUT INSTABILITY IS BETTER TO THE
SOUTH WITH 1000-1500 J/KG FEEDING INTO THE LINE FROM THE SOUTH.
EXPECT TSTMS TO ARRIVE AFTER MIDNIGHT IN THE NORTHWEST AND MOVE
EAST ACROSS OUR AREA THROUGH MORNING. BEST CHANCE SHOULD BE IN SRN
NH AND NORTHERN MA...WITH LESSER CHANCE FARTHER SOUTH.

ALL MODELS SHOW 45-50 KNOT WINDS AT 850 MB MOVING ALONG WITH THE
LINE OF STORMS. THIS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR STRONG WIND GUSTS...AND
POSSIBLY SEVERE...AS THE TSTMS MOVE THROUGH.

OTHER CONCERN WILL BE FOG ACROSS RI AND SOUTHEAST MASS. SATELLITE
IMAGES SHOW THIS FOG IN PLACE AND OBSERVATIONS SHOW PATCHES OF 1/4
MILE VSBYS...DENSE FOG...AT NEWPORT AND FMH. HIGH DEWPOINTS SHOULD
CONTINUE TO PROVIDE MOISTURE FOR FOG.

EARLIER DISCUSSION...

SUBSIDENCE AND ASSOCIATED DRIER AIR ALOFT OVER THE REGION EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON AND SO FAR SUPPRESSING ANY SHOWER/TSTM DEVELOPMENT.
STRATUS AND FOG CONTINUE TO LINGER ALONG THE SOUTH COAST. THIS
WILL LIKELY PERSIST INTO THE EVENING AND PROBABLY MUCH OF THE
OVERNIGHT. GIVEN THE LOW LEVEL FLOW REMAINS SOUTHWEST NOT
EXPECTING THE STRATUS TO ADVECT MUCH FARTHER NORTH THAN PVD TO
PYM. PATCHY DENSE FOG IS LIKELY EMBEDDED WITHIN THIS AREA OF
STRATUS AS THE BLYR COOLS TONIGHT. HOWEVER THIS SHOULD BE CONFINED
TO THE SOUTH COAST.

BECOMING CONCERNED ON UPSTREAM CONVECTION OVER THE GREAT LAKES
INTO WESTERN NY. THESE TSTMS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A ROBUST SHORT
WAVE TROUGH AND A REMNANT EML /ELEVATED MIXED LAYER/. VERY
IMPRESSIVE WIND FIELDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SHORT WAVE WITH 0-6 KM
DEEP LAYER SHEAR UP TO 60-70 ACROSS SOUTHEAST ONTARIO! THUS THESE
STORMS WILL BE FAST MOVING. ALL MODEL GUIDANCE TRACKS STRONGEST
Q/G FORCING ACROSS NORTHERN NY AND NEW ENGLAND 00Z THRU 09Z. IN
ADDITION A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET OF AROUND 45-50 KT AT 850 MB WILL
HELP SUSTAIN MCS AS IT TRACKS ACROSS NY STATE THIS EVENING. BETTER
INSTABILITY AS EXPECTED IS FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS LOW AND MID HUDSON
VALLEY INTO WESTERN MA/CT. THESE EMLS ARE USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH
A MID LEVEL CAP/SUBSIDENCE INVERSION. IF THE CAP DOESN/T ERODE
CONVECTION WILL BE LIMITED. HOWEVER APPROACHING SHORT WAVE TROUGH
THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT IS FAIRLY ROBUST AND SHOULD BE
SUFFICIENT TO ERODE THE CAP AND UNLEASH THE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL.
IN ADDITION UPSTREAM CONVECTION OVER NY STATE THIS EVENING MAY
GENERATE A COLD POOL AND INITIATE ADDITIONAL CONVECTION TOWARD
WESTERN MA/CT.

GIVEN ALL OF THESE FACTORS WILL ISSUE A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
TO INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS FOR THE RISK OF A FEW STRONG STORMS
THIS EVENING ACROSS THE CT RVR VLY...I-91 CORRIDOR AND POINTS
WEST. MODELS WEAKEN THE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED WIND FIELDS AS THEY
PROGRESS EAST ACROSS THE AREA. THEREFORE EXPECTING STORMS TO
WEAKEN AS THE CONVECTION ENTERS RI AND EASTERN MA. MAIN HAZARDS
WITH THESE STORMS ARE STRONG TO DAMAGING WINDS ALONG WITH HEAVY
RAIN /PWATS +2 SD/ AND LOCALIZED FLOODING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
WEDNESDAY...

SHOULD BE A QUIET DAY AS MID LEVEL TROUGH MOVES OFFSHORE IN THE
MORNING FOLLOWED BY SUBSIDENCE AND MID LEVEL DRYING BEHIND THIS
FEATURE. THIS SHOULD SUPPRESS ANY CONVECTION. IN ADDITION WEST
WINDS 15 TO 25 MPH WILL PROVIDE SOME BLYR DRYING AND LIMIT
CONVERGENCE. TEMPS WILL CLIMB INTO THE LOW TO MID 80S...INCLUDING
THE BEACHES GIVEN THE WEST WIND. THE BREEZY CONDITIONS /WEST WIND
15-25 MPH/ WILL ALSO PROVIDE SOME RELIEF FROM THE VERY WARM TEMPS
AND HUMID CONDITIONS WITH DEW PTS IN THE 60S.

ANY LINGERING FOG/STRATUS ALONG THE SOUTH COAST INCLUDING CAPE COD
AND THE ISLANDS SHOULD ERODE FAIRLY QUICK GIVEN WINDS WILL BE
VEERING FROM SW TO W.

WED NIGHT...

WEAK WAVE MAY DEVELOP ON A STALLED FRONT SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND.
THUS MID AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL OVERSPREAD CT/RI AND SOUTHEAST MA
WITH A LOW RISK OF RAIN CLIPPING THE SOUTH COAST AS THIS WEAK WAVE
RACES SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND. HOWEVER MUCH IF NOT THE ENTIRE REGION
WILL BE DRY.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* DRIER AND COOLER WEATHER EXPECTED THU THRU SAT
* SHOWERS POSSIBLE WITH LOW PRES EARLY NEXT WEEK

THE ECMWF AND GFS ARE IN RELATIVELY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE LONG
TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST. THE OVERALL GREAT LAKES RIDGE/MARITIME
TROUGH PATTERN BECOMES MORE ZONAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND...ALLOWING
TEMPERATURES TO RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL LEVELS. EARLY NEXT WEEK A WAVY
FRONT SETS UP ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC.  RIGHT NOW...MODELS HAVE THIS
AND ASSOCIATED PRECIP SET UP SOUTH OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
HOWEVER...IF THIS SHIFTS NORTHWARD WE COULD SEE MORE UNSETTLED
SHOWERY WEATHER THROUGH PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...LIGHT WINDS AND QUIET WEATHER EXPECTED
AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION. TEMPERATURES WILL
MODERATE...ENDING UP NEAR NORMAL BY SATURDAY.

SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...WEATHER POTENTIALLY BECOMES MORE UNSETTLED
AS WAVY FRONT SETTLES ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC.  EXPECTING SOME
SHOWERS CURRENTLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ZONES AS A SERIES OF LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEMS MOVE ALONG THE FRONT. IF THE FRONT SETS UP FARTHER
TO THE NORTH...WE WOULD LIKELY HAVE MORE SHOWERS AND FARTHER TO THE
SOUTH...FEWER SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY EVEN DRY WEATHER. TEMPERATURES
WARM SLOWLY THROUGH THIS PERIOD WITH NORMAL TO ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS
EXPECTED.

&&

MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.

MAY CONTAIN STRONG WINDS ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF MA AND CT.
STORMS SHOULD WEAKEN AS THEY TRAVERSE WEST TO EAST.

WED...IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS MAY LINGER UNTIL MIDDAY ALONG SOUTH
COAST. OTHERWISE VFR ALONG WITH DRY WEATHER. WEST WINDS MAY GUSTS
UP TO 20-25 KT.

WED NIGHT...VFR BUT SHOWERS MAY CLIP THE SOUTH COAST.

KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF. LOWER CONFIDENCE ON EXACT
TIMING OF TSRA.

COASTAL WATERS AS WEAK WAVE OF LOW PRES TRACKS WELL SOUTH OF NEW
ENGLAND.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

QUIET BOATING WEATHER EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD. THERE IS A LOW
PROBABILITY OF GUSTY SHOWERS EARLY THURSDAY AND AGAIN SUNDAY ON THE
