AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
421 PM EDT FRI AUG 1 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DIMINISH EARLY THIS
EVENING. A SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE AREAS MOVING ALONG A STALLED
FRONT WILL LIKELY BRING PERIODS OF RAIN TO AT LEAST SOUTHEAST NEW
ENGLAND ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. UNSETTLED WEATHER REMAINS WITH US
MUCH OF THE WEEK AS A COUPLE OF COLD FRONTS MOVE THROUGH.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FEEDING OFF SUFFICIENT
INSTABILITY AND AIDED BY WEAK SHORT WAVE TROF. ACTIVITY SHOULD
DIMINISH AFTER ABOUT 7 PM WITH ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE OF ANY SHOWERS
OVERNIGHT. SHEAR IS GENERALLY 30 KT OR LESS AND MAIN CONCERN IS
POTENTIAL FOR ANY FLASH FLOODING WHERE ANY TRAINING SHOULD SET UP.
CLOUDS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES ELEVATED SOME TONIGHT. HAVE GONE
WITH A MODEL CONSENSUS FOR TEMPERATURES TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
***A PERIOD OF STEADY AND POSSIBLY HEAVY RAIN LIKELY ON SATURDAY
   FOR SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND***

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTS RATHER IMPRESSIVE TROPICAL CONNECTION ALONG
THE EASTERN SEA BOARD AHEAD OF OH VALLEY TROF. MODELS ALL DEPICT IN
SOME WAY SHAPE OR FORM A WEAK LOW PRESSURE WAVE MOVING ALONG A STALLED
FRONTAL BOUNDARY JUST OFFSHORE. PWATS INCREASE FROM A LITTLE OVER
1 INCH THIS AFTERNOON TO 1.5 TO 2 INCHES ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. NOTED THAT THE 12Z ECMWF WAS
ESPECIALLY BULLISH WITH THE RAINFALL PROJECTION AND ALSO STRONGER
WITH THE SATURDAY LOW PRESSURE WAVE ALONG THE BOUNDARY. THE NAM
SEEMED TO BE MORE INCLINED TO PUT AS MUCH OR MORE ENERGY IN A
SECOND WAVE LATER IN THE WEEKEND. THE SREF OUTPUT DEPICTS LESS
THAN 20 PERCENT CHANCE OF AN INCH OR MORE RAIN SATURDAY BUT THE
SREF IS MADE UP OF A NUMBER OF NAM MEMBERS. IN SPITE OF SOME MODEL
DIFFERENCES...SEE ENOUGH INDICATORS TO GO WITH CATEGORICAL POPS
ACROSS SE MA AND SOUTHERN RI AND LIKELY POPS AS FAR NORTH AND WEST
AS NEWBURYPORT TO THE WORCESTER AREA TO NW HARTFORD COUNTY.
INDICATED STRATIFORM RAIN IN THE LIKELY AND CATEGORICAL POP AREAS
AND SHOWERY TO THE NW. THE WATER VAPORY IMAGERY...INCREASE IN
PWATS...DEEP SYNOPTIC SCALE SW FLOW WITH A TROPICAL ORIGIN AND
MODEL CONSENSUS LEADS TO BELIEVE A RELATIVELY HIGH CHANCE OF 1 TO
1.5 INCHES OF RAIN ACROSS THE SE HALF OF THE AREA AND TAPERING OFF
TO QUITE A BIT LESS TO THE NW.

THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY OF EMBEDDED AND ELEVATED THUNDER ACROSS SOUTHEAST
MA AND SOUTHERN RI WHERE K INDICES MAY REACH TO NEAR OR JUST ABOVE 30.

TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY ARE NOT LIKELY TO REBOUND VERY HIGH DUE TO
CLOUDS AND RAIN IN MUCH OF THE AREA. WARMEST TEMPERATURES LIKELY
IN THE KEENE AREA. MOST LOCATIONS WILL PROBABLY NOT RISE OUT OF
THE LOWER OR MID 70S. SATURDAY NIGHT...HAVE TAPERED POPS DOWN AS
SURFACE WAVE MOVES NE OUT OF AREA. DEPENDING UPON STRENGTH OF THE
SURFACE WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE...MAY SEE BOUNDARY SHIFT A LITTLE
FURTHER SE. HAVE POPS TAPERING OFF TO CHANCE MOST AREAS EXCEPT
KEPT THEM LIKELY ACROSS THE CAPE AND ISLANDS CLOSER TO THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. ANTICIPATE FEED OF TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE AND
THE AIR MASS APPROACHES CONDITIONALLY UNSTABLE STATUS OVER THE
CAPE AND ISLANDS. FOG MAY BE MORE WIDESPREAD LATE SATURDAY NIGHT
DUE TO LIGHT WINDS AND ADDED MOISTURE FROM THE RAIN...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS SE SECTIONS. LOW TEMPERATURES SATURDAY NIGHT WILL DEPEND TO
SOME DEGREE UPON THE STRENGTH OF THE SURFACE WAVE AND WHETHER IT
IS ABLE TO DRAW ANY DRIER AIR INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. WOULD
EXPECT CLOUDS TO PREVENT MUCH OF A DIURNAL DROP IN TEMPERATURES
OVER THE SE HALF OF THE AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
BIG PICTURE... UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EAST WITH UPPER RIDGE OVER THE
WESTERN USA. ONE SHORTWAVE EJECTS FROM THE EASTERN TROUGH SUNDAY
WHILE ANOTHER SHORTWAVE DROPS IN FROM CANADA. THE TROUGH THEN
MIGRATES EAST THROUGH NEW ENGLAND WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. THIS IS
AN UNSETTLED PATTERN...BUT WITH NEAR SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES.

THE DAILIES...

SUNDAY... COLD FRONT REMAINS STALLED OFF THE SOUTH COAST.  MEANWHILE
THE UPPER SOUTHWEST JET REMAINS TO OUR WEST WITH SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND UNDER THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION. THIS WILL SUPPORT UPPER
VENTING OVER THE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT...RESULTING
IN ONE OR MORE WAVES MOVING ALONG THE FRONT AND PRODUCING AREAS OF
ISENTROPIC LIFT THAT MOVE UP ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
THE MOST LIKELY LOCATION FOR LIFT AND RESULTING PRECIP WOULD BE
ACROSS RI AND SOUTHEAST MASS.  PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OF 1.5 TO
1.75 INCHES WITH 2 INCH VALUES JUST SOUTH OF THE COAST...SO
POTENTIAL FOR A FEW HEAVY DOWNPOURS.

WITH AN ILL-DEFINED SURFACE PATTERN AND THE UPPER JET RIGHT ENTRANCE
REGION ALSO OVERHEAD...WITH COOLING TEMPS ALOFT AS THE UPPER
SHORTWAVE EJECTS...AND WITH MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AROUND 6C/KM AND
TOTALS AROUND 48 TO OUR NORTHWEST...THERE IS ALSO POTENTIAL FOR
AFTERNOON/EVENING TSTMS TO DEVELOP OVER NY AND VT. THESE COULD THEN
MOVE INTO OUR WESTERN AND NORTHERN AREAS...BUT THE LESS FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT HERE SHOULD CAUSE THAT CONVECTION TO DIMINISH. MODEL QPF
FIELDS ALSO INDICATE MEASUREABLE PCPN MOSTLY OUTSIDE OF OUR AREA BUT
POTENTIALLY CLIPPING OUR NORTHWEST.

TEMPS ALOFT AROUND 11C WOULD SUPPORT MAX SURFACE TEMPS AROUND 80F.
CLOUDS IN THE EAST SHOULD KEEP TEMPS COOLER...WHILE INTERIOR
SECTIONS MAY SEE ENOUGH SUN TO REALIZE THE WARMER MAX TEMPS.

MONDAY-TUESDAY... INSTABILITY LINGERS NORTH AND WEST...AND ACROSS
OUR NORTHERN/WESTERN ZONES.  ON TUESDAY...A COLD FRONT APPROACHES
FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO GENERATE
AFTERNOON/EVENING TSTMS EACH DAY.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY... THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH NEW ENGLAND
ON WEDNESDAY ALONG WITH THE COLDER TEMPS ALOFT. THIS SHOULD BRING A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS. LINGERING INSTABILITY THURSDAY WITH THE
UPPER TROUGH STILL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD...BUT A DRIER AIRMASS.  WILL
INDICATE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS MOST PLACES AND CHANCE POPS MERRIMACK
VALLEY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN PLACE FRIDAY WITH DRIER WEATHER.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM...THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...

THIS EVENING...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS
EXCEPT LOCALLY IFR CIGS AND VSBYS IN VICINITY OF SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS.

TONIGHT...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS
EXCEPT PATCHY FOG ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT HAVE RECEIVED
SIGNIFICANT SHOWER ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON.

SATURDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. EXPECT A PERIOD OF STEADY RAIN
ALONG AND SE OF A LWM-ORH-BDL LINE WITH WIDESPREAD MVFR CIGS AND
VSBYS DEVELOPING. GENERALLY VFR NW OF THIS LINE. AREAS OF IFR
CIGS AND VSBYS POSSIBLE SE MA AND SOUTHERN HALF OF RI LATE MORNING
INTO THE AFTERNOON.

SATURDAY NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. ANTICIPATING VFR CONDITIONS
NW HALF OF AREA AND GENERALLY MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS SE HALF. AREAS
OF FOG AND SCATTERED SHOWERS PERSISTING SE HALF OF AREA.

KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH
TONIGHT. MOST TSTM ACTIVITY IN THE EARLY EVENING SHOULD OCCUR NW
OF THE AIRFIELD BUT A LOW PROBABILITY REMAINS OF ONE MAKING A
CLOSE PASS TO THE AIR FIELD. SEA BREEZE FROM SE WILL SHIFT TO BE
FROM SW AFTER ABOUT 00Z. ANY TSTMS PASSING NW OF THE AIR FIELD
COULD CAUSE A TEMPORARY OUTFLOW FROM THE WEST. FOR SATURDAY...NOW
THINKING THAT THE RAIN SHIELD WILL COVER BOS AND PROBABLY CAUSE
CIGS AND VSBYS TO LOWER TO MVFR LEVELS. RAIN MAY BE HEAVY FOR A
TIME IN THE AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH RAIN SHOULD TAPER OFF TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS SATURDAY EVENING...MVFR CIGS WILL LIKELY PERSIST.

KBDL TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH
TONIGHT. HOWEVER...A TSTM COMPLEX APPROACHING LITCHFIELD COUNTY AT
20Z MAY CAUSE A BRIEF PERIOD OF LOWER CONDITIONS SOMETIME BETWEEN
21Z AND 23Z. FOR SATURDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN RAIN SHIELD
REACHING BDL AND RESULTING IN PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS. FOR
SATURDAY NIGHT...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE OF MVFR CIGS AND
VSBYS IN FOG.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SUNDAY...MVFR CIGS/VSBYS SOUTHEAST WITH IFR ALONG THE SOUTH COAST
AND ISLANDS.  MAINLY VFR NORTHWEST WITH WIDELY SCATTERED MVFR IN
AFTERNOON TSTMS.

MONDAY-TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY...MAINLY VFR. SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING
SHOWERS/TSTMS WITH BRIEF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS.

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...

HIGH CONFIDENCE. LIGHT WINDS AND SEAS BELOW SCA ADVISORY EXPECTED
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. VISIBILITIES WILL GENERALLY BE GOOD
THROUGH TONIGHT...BUT THEN LOWER TO 3 MILES OR LESS IN RAIN AND
FOG DURING SATURDAY AND POSSIBLY LOWERING TO A MILE OR LESS IN FOG
LATE SATURDAY NIGHT.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SUNDAY...FRONT REMAINS STALLED EITHER OVER OR JUST SOUTH OF THE
COASTAL WATERS. AREAS OF POOR VISIBLITY IN RAIN AND FOG AS
DISTURBANCES MOVE ALONG THE FRONT. LIGHT WINDS SHIFTING FROM
NORTHEAST TO SOUTHEAST. WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW SMALL
CRAFT THRESHOLDS.

MONDAY-TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY...LIGHT WINDS MONDAY BECOMING SOUTHWEST
TUESDAY. AREAS OF POOR VISIBILITY IN FOG EACH MORNING. SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY WITH HIGHEST CHANCE ALONG THE NORTH SHORE.
WINDS AND SEAS REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT THRESHOLDS.
