AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1107 AM EDT SAT MAR 29 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
DRY WEATHER BRIEFLY RETURNS THIS MORNING BUT RAIN QUICKLY OVER-
SPREADS THE REGION FROM SOUTH TO NORTH THIS AFTERNOON. RAIN BECOMES
HEAVY ALL AREAS TONIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY MORNING ACROSS RHODE ISLAND
AND EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS...AS A COASTAL STORM TRACKS SOUTH OF NEW
ENGLAND.  THE COASTAL LOW LINGERS MONDAY ALONG WITH THE THREAT OF
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL...THEN FOLLOWED BY DRIER AND MILDER WEATHER
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1100 AM UPDATE...MADE SOME CHANGES TO TIMING OF THE RAINFALL THIS
MORNING. LATEST RUNS OF THE HRRR...AS WELL AS THE 09Z SREF...LOOK
TO HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THE TIMING. CHANGES TO SKY COVER...ALSO
REQUIRED MINOR TWEAKS TO TEMPERATURES FOR THIS AFTERNOON. WILL
CONTINUE TO KEEP AN EYE ON TRENDS LATE THIS MORNING...AS MAX
TEMPERATURES MAY NEED TO BE BUMPED HIGHER STILL.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

BRIEF SHORT WAVE RIDGING ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS MORNING IN
ADVANCE OF MID LEVEL TROUGH ENTERING MS VLY.  THUS SUNSHINE THROUGH
HIGH CLOUDS THIS MORNING.  HOWEVER THIS IS SHORT LIVED AS MOISTURE
ALONG THE MID ATLC COAST BECOMES CAPTURED IN APPROACHING TROUGH AND
THEN STREAMS NORTHEAST INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THIS RESULTS IN
CLOUDS QUICKLY ON THE INCREASE WITH ALL MODEL GUIDANCE INCLUDING THE
0Z NAM/GEFS AND ECMWF IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT ON RAIN OVERSPREADING
THE REGION AFTER 2 PM/18Z FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. RAIN WILL LIKELY
BECOME HEAVY TOWARD EVENING ALONG THE SOUTH COAST.

BEFORE THE RAIN ARRIVES IT WILL BE A MILD DAY AS TEMPS GETTING OFF
TO A WARM START THIS MORNING WITH ALL LOCATIONS AT 330 AM STILL IN
THE 40S. THEREFORE SOME MORNING SUNSHINE SHOULD BOOST TEMPS INTO
THE 50S BEFORE THE RAIN ARRIVES THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
*** A PERIOD OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND POSSIBLE FLOODING ***

TONIGHT...

OPEN MID LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE OH VLY BECOMES A CLOSED CIRCULATION
ACROSS THE MID ATLC. THIS MID LEVEL LOW CAPTURES A DEEP MOIST
TROPICAL PLUME FROM THE CARIBBEAN AND STREAMS IT NORTHWARD UP THE
EASTERN SEABOARD INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THIS WARM CONVEYOR
BELT/FIREHOSE BECOMES WELL ESTABLISHED WITH PWAT ANOMALIES
INCREASING TO +3 STD BY 12Z SUN OVER EASTERN MA AND RI. THIS WILL
YIELD HEAVY RAIN TONIGHT WITH POTENTIAL FLOODING. STRONG EAST-
SOUTHEAST LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL PROVIDE UPSLOPE FLOW ACROSS THE
INTERIOR CT/MA AND INTO NH WHICH WILL ENHANCE RAINFALL OVER THESE
AREAS. THIS STRONG INFLOW WILL ALSO RESULT IN A WINDSWEPT RAIN FOR
MUCH OF THE REGION ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST INCLUDING THE BOSTON
TO PROVIDENCE CORRIDOR. DESPITE STRONG WINDS ALOFT MODEL SOUNDINGS
SUGGEST LOW LEVEL INVERSION IN PLACE AND WILL PRECLUDE STRONG
WINDS FROM MIXING TO THE SURFACE. THUS NO WIND HEADLINES ISSUED.

SUNDAY...

WARM CONVEYOR BELT RAINS WILL EXIT CT/WESTERN-CENTRAL MA AND LINGER
OVER EASTERN MA IN THE MORNING...POSSIBLY INTO EARLY AFTERNOON.
HEAVY RAIN LIKELY HERE AS PWAT PLUME OF +3 STD ALONG WITH STRONG LOW
TO MID LEVEL JET IN PLACE. MOISTURE PLUME AND WIND FIELD MOVE
OFFSHORE DURING THE AFTERNOON. THUS THE TREND WILL BE FOR LIGHTER
RAINS/DRIZZLE IN THE AFTERNOON ALL AREAS AS DRY SLOT EXPECTED TO
MOVE ACROSS THE REGION.

COOL/DAMP/RAW WITH TEMPS IN THE 40S AND A MODEST NORTHEAST WIND OFF
THE CHILLY OCEAN WATERS.

&&

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

* COASTAL STORM BRINGS RAIN SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY
* MORE SEASONABLE TEMPS EXPECTED THROUGH THE LONG TERM
* DRY WEATHER RETURNS TUESDAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK

MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGH MUCH OF THE LONG TERM.  THERE
ARE SOME DIFFERENCES WITH THE TRACK OF THE COASTAL STORM SUNDAY
NIGHT AND MONDAY AS WELL AS SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES LATE NEXT WEEK.
THE BIG CONCERN IS THE COASTAL STORM WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR
SEVERAL DAYS.  THERE REMAIN SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE TRACK OF THE LOW
PRESSURE WITH THE GFS A BIT FARTHER SOUTH THAN THE ECMWF. FEEL A
BLEND OF THE TWO TRACKS WILL BE THE BEST COURSE TO TAKE RIGHT NOW.
EXPECT SHOWERS TO CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY...SLOWLY COMING TO AN END
MONDAY AS LOW PRESSURE PULLS AWAY FROM THE REGION.  HIGH PRESSURE
AND A MID LEVEL RIDGE BUILD OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THROUGH THE
MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.  THE MODELS DIFFER IN THE STRENGTH OF THE RIDGE
AND HOW QUICKLY IT MOVES OFFSHORE.  THIS LEADS TO SOME TIMING
DIFFERENCES IN THE APPROACH OF A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LATE IN THE
WEEK.

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...LOW PRESSURE MOVES OFFSHORE THE MID-
ATLANTIC AND MOVES NORTHEAST TO NEAR THE 40/70 BENCHMARK. WHILE THE
BULK OF THE PRECIP IS EXPECTED SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...PRECIP
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY. MOST OF THE PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO BE
RAIN...HOWEVER AS THE LOW MOVES OUT TO SEA AND COOLER AIR GETS DRAWN
DOWN INTO THE REGION ON NORTHERLY WINDS...A PERIOD OF WINTRY WEATHER
IS EXPECTED AS PRECIP COMES TO AN END. THIS WILL LARGELY BE FOCUSED
ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN ZONES.  TEMPERATURES WILL BE MUCH COOLER
MONDAY WITH HIGHS AROUND 40.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...A MID LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE NORTHEAST
WITH A HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF DRY WEATHER AND SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES.

THURSDAY AND BEYOND...PATTERN BECOMES MORE UNSETTLED AGAIN AS LOW
PRESSURE APPROACHES THE REGION AND A WARM FRONT SETTLES JUST SOUTH
OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

MODERATE TO HIGH FORECAST THRU SUNDAY.

TODAY...MAINLY VFR THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. RAIN QUICKLY
OVERSPREADS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AFTER 18Z.
ANY VFR CIGS THEN LOWER TO MVFR REGION-WIDE.

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 TIL 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 WEDNESDAY...

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. AREAS OF MVFR
CIGS/VSBYS IN RAIN/FOG. A WINTRY MIX IS POSSIBLE LATE SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY ACROSS THE NORTHWEST INTERIOR.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.  IMPROVING
CONDITIONS AS RAIN MOVES OUT OF THE REGION.  MAINLY VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

TODAY...LIGHT NW WINDS THIS MORNING BECOME NE THIS AFTERNOON. RAIN
OVERSPREADS THE WATERS FROM SOUTH TO NORTH TODAY...LOWERING VSBY.
ROUGH SEAS LINGER ACROSS THE SOUTHERN OUTER COASTAL WATERS.

TONIGHT...INCREASING SOUTHEAST WINDS 20-30KT. HEAVY RAIN LOWERING
VSBY.

SUNDAY...WINDS BECOME NE AS COASTAL LOW MOVES SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND.
NE WINDS MAY REACH GALE FORCE LATE IN THE DAY FROM THE MERRIMACK
RIVER SOUTHWARD TO BOSTON AREA WATERS.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
NORTHEASTERLY GALES EXPECTED AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES OVER THE WATERS.
SEAS INCREASE TO 10 TO 15 FEET ON THE EASTERN WATERS. VISIBILITIES
WILL LIKELY BE LIMITED AT TIMES IN HEAVY RAIN AND FOG.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. WINDS AND SEAS
DIMINISH AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD OVER THE WATERS.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY STILL BE NEEDED FOR SEAS ABOVE
5 FEET.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT ON THE LARGE SCALE FEATURES BUT DIFFERENCES ON
THE MAGNITUDE AND AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL. NAM/ECMWF AND UKMET
SUGGEST HEAVIEST RAIN ACROSS THE INTERIOR CT AND MA GIVEN UPSLOPE
WIND COMPONENT. GFS AND ITS ENSEMBLES ARE FOCUSED MORE ALONG THE
SOUTH COAST. GIVEN THE LOW LEVEL EAST-SOUTHEAST INFLOW PREFER THE
NAM/ECMWF AND UKMET SOLUTION FOR QPF. 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. THUS NO CHANGES TO FLOOD HEADLINES. WAS TEMPTED TO INCLUDE
SOUTHEAST MA IN THE FLOOD WATCH AS HEAVY RAIN OCCURS HERE 06Z-15Z
SUN WITH 1-2 INCHES LIKELY. THIS TIMEFRAME IS ALSO THE TIME OF HIGH
TIDE /12Z/ WHICH ARE RUNNING ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH. PAST EVENTS HERE
HAVE SHOWN HEAVY RAINFALL HAVING TROUBLE DRAINING IN THE CITIES OF
NEW BEDFORD AND FALL RIVER WHENEVER TIDES ARE ASTRONOMICAL HIGH. IF
LATER MODEL RUNS OFFER HEAVIER RAINFALL A FLOOD WATCH MAY BE NEED
FOR THIS REGION. EARLIER DISCUSSION BELOW.

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. HOWEVER...THE POTENTIAL FOR 2
TO 4 INCHES OF RAINFALL...WITH VEGETATION STILL DORMANT AND SNOWMELT
IN THE FAR INTERIOR...IS SUFFICIENT TO BRING A CONCERN OF MINOR
FLOODING ON AREA RIVERS AND STREAMS. THE MAIN AREA OF CONCERN AT
THIS TIME IS INTERIOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...WHERE FLOOD WATCHES ARE
GOING INTO EFFECT. 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 IN 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...
THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK 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. SINCE THE EVENT IS STILL 2 TO
3 DAYS OUT...THE ONLY HEADLINE ISSUED NOW IS A COASTAL FLOOD
ADVISORY FOR PORTIONS OF THE RI AND MA SOUTH COAST FOR THE SUN
MORNING HIGH TIDE. ADDITIONAL HEADLINES MAY BE NEEDED DURING THE
COURSE OF THE WEEKEND.

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...A N TO 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.
