AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...AVIATION UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
217 PM EDT MON JUL 7 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
INCREASING HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL RETURN THROUGH MIDWEEK AHEAD OF
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT. WHILE DRY WEATHER WILL DOMINATE...A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT TIMES LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO WED
WITH THE BEST CHANCE ACROSS THE INTERIOR. A FEW ADDITIONAL SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THU IF THE COLD FRONT MOVES
SLOWER...BUT DRY WEATHER WITH LOWER HUMIDITY WILL ARRIVE BY THE END
OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

145 PM UPDATE...

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED AT MID AFTERNOON
ACROSS EASTERN NY AND PA.  ONE CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS
EASTERN NY MAY AFFECT OUR NORTHWEST ZONES AS WE APPROACH 3
PM.  ADDITIONAL SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP TO OUR WEST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.  INSTABILITY WILL
CONTINUE TO INCREASE...SO THE BEST CHANCE FOR A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE AFTER 3 OR 4 PM ACROSS SOUTHWEST NH/WESTERN MA
AND UNTIL ABOUT 10 OR 11 PM.  LOOKS LIKE WILL HAVE AROUND 1000 TO
1500 J/KG OF CAPE WITH 0 TO 6 KM SHEAR ON THE ORDER OF 30 TO 35
KNOTS...SO CERTAINLY THE THREAT OF A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS IN
WESTERN MA/SOUTHWEST NH.  THE PRIMARY THREAT WILL BE LOCALIZED
STRONG TO DAMAGING WIND GUSTS GIVEN DECENT SPEED SHEAR...BUT A FEW
REPORTS OF LARGE HAIL ARE ALSO POSSIBLE.  IN ADDITION...PWATS ON THE
ORDER OF 1.75 INCHES WILL ALSO SUPPORT BRIEF TORRENTIAL RAINFALL
WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS.

THE ACTIVITY SHOULD WEAKEN THIS EVENING AS IT TRIES TO ENTER EASTERN
MA AND RHODE ISLAND.  HOWEVER...WE CAN/T RULE OUT A FEW LEFT OVER
THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
TONIGHT...
WHILE SFC INSTABILITY DIMINISHES IT DOES NOT GO AWAY COMPLETELY
WHILE DEEP LAYER SHEAR INCREASES AS SHORTWAVE MOVES INTO THE
REGION WHICH SHOULD ALLOW SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS TO PERSIST INTO THE
EVENING...SOME OF WHICH MAY BE STRONG TO SEVERE. ALSO CANT RULE
OUT A FEW SHOWERS OR A TSTM MAKING TO THE COASTAL PLAIN AS
ELEVATED KI AXIS MOVES EAST ACROSS SNE. SOME DRYING EVENTUALLY
MOVES IN FROM THE NORTH OVERNIGHT. MIN TEMPS MID 60S TO LOWER 70S
WITH LATE NIGHT PATCHY FOG POSSIBLE.

TUESDAY...
PERSISTENT SW FLOW CONTINUES WITH 850 MB TEMPS NEAR 18C. WITH PT-
MOSUNNY SKIES TEMPS SHOULD REACH UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S...EXCEPT
COOLER SOUTH COAST. IT WILL BE RATHER HUMID WITH DEWPOINTS NEAR
70 DEGREES.

MAIN FOCUS FOR CONVECTION WILL BE TO THE WEST WHERE BETTER
DYNAMICS ASSOCD WITH RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF UPPER JET.
HOWEVER...SBCAPES INCREASE TO 1000-2000 J/KG SO SCT LATE DAY AND
EVENING SHOWERS/TSTMS POSSIBLE. ANY STORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL
TO BECOME SEVERE AS 0-6KM SHEAR INCREASES TO 35-40 KT BUT UPPER
JET DYNAMICS SUGGEST MAIN ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN TO THE WEST THROUGH
THE DAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* VERY WARM/HOT AND HUMID TUE NIGHT AND WED
* A FEW THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE TUE NIGHT...WED...AND PERHAPS INTO
  THU
* DRIER AND LESS HUMID AIR RETURNS BY THE END OF THE WEEK

OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCES...
THE OVERALL PATTERN ACROSS THE ERN CONUS WILL REMAIN UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF LONGWAVE TROF EXTENDING FROM HUDSON BAY INTO ONTARIO
AND QUEBEC THROUGH MUCH OF THE LONG TERM. INITIALLY...THE BASE OF
THIS TROF LIES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES...LEAVING NEW ENGLAND IN SW
FLOW AND THEREFORE WARMING TEMPS AND HIGHER DWPT AIR. IT/S NOT
UNTIL THIS BASE SHIFTS FURTHER E BY LATE IN THE WEEK...THAT THE
COOLER/DRIER AIR IS ALLOWED TO MOVE IN ALONG WITH SFC HIGH PRES.
HOWEVER...EVEN WITH THE WEAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED WITH THE HIGH PRES
MOVING IN FOR THE WEEKEND...S FEW CUTOFF LOW PRES CENTERS
CONTINUE TO FUJIWHARA AROUND HUDSON BAY...ALLOWING YET ANOTHER
LONGWAVE TROF TO DEVELOP BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE
SOME SLIGHT DIFFERENCES...MUCH OF THE AVAILABLE LONG RANGE
GUIDANCE IS IN AGREEMENT WITH THESE SYNOPTIC SCALE FEATURES.
THEREFORE...A BLEND OF GUIDANCE WILL BE USED AS A BASELINE. THE
ONLY CAVEAT WILL BE THU...WHERE MORE WEIGHT WILL BE GIVEN TO THE
ECMWF DUE TO ITS CONSISTENCY WITH COLD FRONTAL TIMING...SOMETHING
THE GFS AND MANY ENSEMBLE MEMBERS ARE BEGINNING TO AGREE WITH.

DETAILS...

TUE NIGHT INTO WED...
SHORTWAVE ENERGY IS LIKELY TO PASS BY TUE NIGHT...SO ITS POSSIBLE
THE BULK OF CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH VERY MOIST/UNSTABLE AIRMASS
IN PLACE HOLDS OFF UNTIL MAINLY THE OVERNIGHT HOURS ON TUE. INDEED
THE 1000+ J/KG SB CAPE DOES NOT DIP TOO MUCH AFTER 00Z WED...K
VALES AND PWATS WELL ABOVE 1.5 INCHES ALSO SUGGEST A LOT OF
MOISTURE REMAINS THROUGH THE COLUMN. FINALLY...W ORIENTED SHEAR
REMAINS AROUND 30-35 KT. THEREFORE...SOME NOCTURNAL CONVECTION IS
POSSIBLE...SO WILL MAINTAIN POPS AND HEAVY RAIN WORDING AT LEAST
THROUGH 06Z AS THE SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH. OVERNIGHT MINS REMAIN
ELEVATED...UPPER 60S AND LOW 70S.

FOR WED...ITS TRICKY. SOUNDINGS SUGGEST DRY AIR BEGINS TO MOVE IN
ALOFT...HOWEVER THE SAME MOIST/WARM AIRMASS REMAINS IN PLACE AT
THE SFC...YIELDING 1000-2000J/KG SB CAPE VALUES ONCE AGAIN.
HOWEVER...SHEAR IS QUITE HIGH...ON THE ORDER OF 45 KT. THE ISSUE
AT HAND IS WHETHER OVERNIGHT CONVECTION...THE DRY AIR ALOFT OR THE
RELATIVE LACK OF A TRIGGER WILL BE ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY. THERE IS SOME SUPPORT AS THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF
STRONG UPPER JET LINES UP ACROSS SRN NEW ENGLAND. FOR NOW...WILL
CONTINUE TO SUGGEST SLIGHT TO CHANCE POPS WITH TS. THIS WILL
DEFINITELY HAVE TO BE WATCHED HOWEVER...AS ANOTHER ROUND OF HIGH
INSTABILITY COMBINED WITH THE VERY STRONG SHEAR AND VENTING JET
SETUP ALOFT...IF ANYTHING FIRES...COULD YIELD MORE WIDESPREAD OR
STRONGER SEVERE WX. THERE ARE JUST SOME MITIGATING FACTORS TO WORK
THROUGH.

THU...
AS MENTIONED ABOVE...THE KEY FOR THU WEATHER WILL BE THE TIMING
OF THE COLD FRONT WHICH WILL ALLOW DRIER/COOLER AIR TO FINALLY
FILTER INTO SRN NEW ENGLAND. WILL LEAN ON THE ECMWF WHICH HAS BEEN
MORE CONSISTENT...AND OTHER GUIDANCE LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BE CATCHING
UP. THEREFORE...THE FRONT IS LIKELY TO MOVE THROUGH SLOWLY DURING
THE DAY...AND MAY NOT EVEN BE OFFSHORE UNTIL THU NIGHT.
THEREFORE...WILL MAINTAIN THE HIGHER THAN NORMAL DWPTS AND
HUMIDITY THROUGH THE DAY AND KEEP POPS/TS RISK. NOT QUITE AS
CONCERNED AT THIS POINT ABOUT SEVERE WX FOR THU AS DRIER AIR AND
SUBSIDENCE INVERSION MAY LIMIT CAPE VALUES...BUT IT WILL STILL
HAVE TO BE WATCHED.

FRI INTO SAT...
HIGH PRES MOVES IN FROM THE NW AS BASE OF LONGWAVE TROF MOVES
THROUGH NEW ENGLAND. THIS ALLOWS DRIER AND COOLER W-NW FLOW TO
DEVELOP ACROSS THERE REGION...YIELDING A RELIEF FROM THE HEAT AND
HUMIDITY AND MAINLY DRY WX. TEMPS ARE LIKELY TO BE CLOSE TO
SEASONAL NORMALS BASED ON CURRENT MID LVL TEMPS.

SUN INTO MON...
ANOTHER GRADUAL LONGWAVE TROF DEVELOPMENT IS FAVORED...THANKS TO
STRONG SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE ZONAL FLOW ACROSS THE NRN
HALF OF THE CONUS. WHILE THERE REMAINS UNCERTAINTY HERE...THE BULK
OF AVAILABLE GUIDANCE FAVORS A RETURN TO MORE UNSETTLED AND
POTENTIALLY WET WX.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...

THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  SCT
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO INTERIOR SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND ROUGHLY BETWEEN 4 PM AND MIDNIGHT.  A FEW OF THE
STORMS MAY RESULT IN STRONG WIND GUSTS AND BRIEF TORRENTIAL RAIN.
THE ACTIVITY WILL BE HIT AND MISS...BUT WILL RESULT IN LOCALIZED
MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS.  ACTIVITY SHOULD WEAKEN AS IT MOVES INTO
EASTERN MA/RI...BUT A FEW THUNDERSTORMS CAN/T BE RULED OUT AFTER 8
OR 9 PM THROUGH ABOUT MIDNIGHT.  SOUTHWEST WIND GUSTS OF 25 TO 30
KNOTS SHOULD DIMINISH SOME AFTER SUNSET WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME
HEATING.

OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS DOMINATE THROUGH TONIGHT OTHER
THAN SOME LOCALIZED PATCHY GROUND FOG LATE.  LOW PROBABILITY THAT
LOW CLOUDS/FOG DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND BUT DIDN/T HAVE
ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO INSERT INTO THE TAF.  LATER SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO
MONITOR.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  VFR CONDITIONS
WILL DOMINATE...BUT PERHAPS A BETTER CHANCE OF LOW CLOUDS AND FOG
DEVELOPING ALONG THE SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND COAST TUE NIGHT.  IN
ADDITION...A FEW AFTERNOON AND EVENING STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE
POSSIBLE WITH THE BEST SHOT NORTHWEST OF A BOS TO PVD LINE.

KBOS TAF...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF.  LOW PROBABILITY FOR A
THUNDERSTORM IN THE VICINITY BETWEEN 00Z AND 04Z.

KBDL TAF...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF.  LOW TO MODERATE PROBABILITY
FOR A FEW STRONG THUNDERSTORMS IN THE VICINITY BETWEEN 21Z AND 03Z.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...

WEDNESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
MAINLY VFR...EXCEPT IN PATCHY EARLY MORNING
STRATUS/FOG. IN ADDITION...LOCALIZED BRIEF MVFR-IFR CIGS/VSBYS ARE
POSSIBLE IN A FEW SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS LATE TUE INTO WED.

THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
MAINLY VFR AGAIN...BUT THERE IS STILL AN ISOLATED THREAT FOR BRIEF
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE
AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY SOUTH AND EAST OF A BDL-ORH-BOS LINE.

FRIDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
VFR CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPING ACROSS THE WATERS WILL RESULT IN SW WIND
GUSTS INCREASING TO 25-30 KT THIS AFTERNOON...STRONGEST OVER THE
SOUTH COASTAL NEARSHORE WATERS WHERE MIXING IS GREATEST. WINDS
WILL DIMINISH A BIT TONIGHT BUT STILL POTENTIAL FOR G20-25KT.
ANOTHER PULSE OF STRONGER WINDS DEVELOP TUE AFTERNOON WITH
POTENTIAL FOR A FEW G25KT. THE INCREASING SW FLOW WILL RESULT IN
SEAS BUILDING TO 5-7 KT OVER THE SOUTHERN WATERS. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES REMAIN IN EFFECT. PATCHY FOG MAY REDUCE VSBYS LATE
TONIGHT AND TUE.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...

TUE NIGHT INTO WED...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
SW FLOW CONTINUES MAINLY 10-15 KT WITH GUSTS TO 20 BUT A FEW GUSTS
AROUND 25 KT ARE POSSIBLE. IN ANY CASE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES
ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE ON THE OUTER WATERS THANKS TO A 5-6 FT S
SWELL LINGERING. SOME FOG OVER THE WATERS TUE NIGHT WITH LOW
VSBYS...ALONG WITH OCCASIONAL THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE DAY WED.

THU...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
ONE MORE ROUND OF POTENTIAL THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE S WATERS
ESPECIALLY. OTHERWISE...GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT LATE THU AS WINDS
SHIFT TO THE NW. SEAS MAY FINALLY DROP BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS BY THU
NIGHT.

FRI...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN KEEPING WINDS/SEAS BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS.
