...TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS LIKELY FRIDAY NIGHT FOR THE COASTAL
WATERS SOUTH OF MARTHAS VINEYARD AND NANTUCKET AND EAST OF CAPE
COD...

VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS AHEAD OF A SLOW MOVING FRONT
BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THOUGH THIS
EVENING...ESPECIALLY AREAS NORTH AND WEST OF BOSTON. MORE
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ARE
EXPECTED FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR WILL
PASS SOUTHEAST OF OUR REGION FRIDAY NIGHT SATURDAY HAVING A
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE MARINE COMMUNITY. HIGH PRESSURE THEN
BUILDS OVER NEW ENGLAND WITH FAIR AND DRY WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THROUGH 10 PM... THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING IN MOISTURE RICH
ENVIRONMENT AND WITH COLD FRONT DIVING SOUTH THROUGH NORTHERN NEW
ENGLAND.  SB CAPES ARE 2500-3000 J/KG WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
1.8-2.0 INCHES.  UPPER JET OVER NY AND PA...THE RIGHT ENTRANCE
REGION IS MOSTLY TO OUR WEST BUT IT IS GETTING CLOSER AND WILL
PROVIDE INCREASING DYNAMIC SUPPORT FOR TSTM DEVELOPMENT.  A SVR TSTM
WATCH IS IN EFFECT THROUGH 10 PM FOR WESTERN/CENTRAL/NORTHEAST PARTS
OF OUR AREA.

TONIGHT... REMAINS OF THE COLD FRONT WILL SETTLE OVER SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. LINE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS OVER CENTRAL NY/PA MOVING NORTHEAST
EXTRAPOLATES TO WESTERN NEW ENGLAND AROUND 10-11 PM. MEANWHILE A
PLUME OF MOISTURE EXTENDING NORTH FROM HURRICANE ARTHUR WILL FEED
INTO THE FRONT AND GENERATE MORE SHOWERS/TSTMS WITH HEAVY DOWNPOURS.
AND THE UPPER JET WILL SWEEP OVER NEW ENGLAND PROVIDING DYNAMIC
SUPPORT. THIS WILL CONTINUE A CONCERN FOR FLASH FLOODING OVERNIGHT.
WE WILL CONTINUE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE CT VALLEY FROM
CHESHIRE CO NH TO HAMPDEN CO MASS. MAY NEED TO  EXPAND IT BASED ON
THE EVENTUAL EXTENT OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
TROPICAL MOISTURE AND REMAINS OF THE COLD FRONT AND APPROACH OF
HURRICANE ARTHUR UP THE COAST.  HIGH POPS FOR SHOWERS/TSTMS. THETA E
RIDGE STARTS THE MORNING OVER EASTERN MASS/RI...EXPECT THIS TO BE
THE FAVORED AREA FOR CONVECTION. BUT POPS WILL BE AT LEAST AT LIKELY
LEVELS ALL PARTS OF OUR FORECAST AREA.  THE PRECIP WILL BE
SHOWERY...SO EXPECT RAIN-FREE PERIODS DURING THE DAY. BUT STILL A
WARM AND MUGGY DAY.

HIGHLIGHTS...
HIGHLIGHTS...
* TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR EXPECTED TO PASS SOUTHEAST OF US FRI NIGHT
* HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS FOR THE WEEKEND
* INCREASING HEAT AND HUMIDITY EARLY NEXT WEEK

DURING FRIDAY NIGHT ARTHUR MAKES ITS CLOSEST APPROACH TO SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND. THE ECMWF AND NAM TAKE THE CENTER OF ARTHUR JUST S/E OF
THE 40N 70W BENCHMARK...WHILE THE GFS CONTINUES TO BE CLOSER TO
NANTUCKET.  THE NHC TRACK CONTINUES TO HAVE ARTHUR MOST LIKELY
PASSING NEAR OR JUST S/E OF THE BENCHMARK. ARTHUR WILL LIKELY BE
CLOSE ENOUGH TO BRING THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAINS.  THE MAIN HEAVY
RAIN THREAT INTO FRIDAY NIGHT LOOKS TO BE ACROSS EASTERN MA AND RI.
RAINS FROM ARTHUR LATE FRI/FRI NIGHT COULD TOTAL 2 TO 4 INCHES IN
THAT AREA...WITH LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. IN
ADDITION...TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS ARE EXPECTED ON THE COASTAL
WATERS SOUTH AND EAST OF NANTUCKET.

THE CAPE AND ISLANDS WILL LIKELY SEE SOME TROPICAL STORM FORCE WIND
GUSTS /34 KTS OR GREATER/ DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. IN ADDITION...
A TROPICAL STORM WARNING IS NOW IN EFFECT FOR THE FAR
SOUTHEASTERNMOST OF OUR COASTAL WATERS...WHERE GUSTS TO 45 KT ARE
EXPECTED. THE HIGHEST WINDS FROM HURRICANE ARTHUR ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN WELL OFFSHORE.

SATURDAY...ARTHUR CONTINUES TO MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST...EVENTUALLY
BECOMING ABSORBED IN THE MID LEVEL TROUGH OVER NOVA SCOTIA. HEAVY

MORNING...POSSIBLY BEFORE THEN. SKIES WILL CLEAR AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REACH
INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S...BUT THE AIRMASS WILL BECOME
NOTICEABLY LESS HUMID AND MORE COMFORTABLE WITH A NORTHWEST WIND.

SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE CROSSES THE AREA DURING
THE WEEKEND. QUIET AND DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED.

MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...EXPECT INCREASING HEAT AND HUMIDITY MONDAY
AND TUESDAY AS SOUTHWESTERLY SURFACE WINDS RETURN.  A COLD FRONT MAY
CROSS THE AREA DURING THE MONDAY NIGHT TO TUESDAY
TIMEFRAME...BRINGING THE RENEWED CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND

MORE DIFFICULT TO FLOOD.
