AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
140 PM EDT WED APR 9 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER NEW ENGLAND LATER TODAY WITH DRY AND
COOLER WEATHER. THE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE THURSDAY WHICH ALLOW A
SMALL WARMUP. A COLD FRONT WILL BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY. DRY AND MILD WEATHER IS EXPECTED SUNDAY. ANOTHER
ROUND OF SCATTERED SHOWERS MAY MOVE ACROSS THE REGION AHEAD OF A
COLD FRONT LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.

&&

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

140 PM UPDATE...

FAIR WEATHER SCATTERED TO BROKEN DIURNAL CUMULUS CLOUDS HAVE
DEVELOPED ACROSS THE REGION AT MID AFTERNOON.  PARTIAL SUNSHINE WAS
STILL OCCURRING...SO HIGH TEMPS BY LATE AFTERNOON SHOULD TOP OUT
WELL INTO THE 50S TO LOWER 60S IN MOST LOCALES.  THE BEST CHANCE FOR
60+ HIGH TEMPS WILL BE ACROSS PORTIONS OF RHODE ISLAND/SOUTHEAST MA.
NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS OF 20 TO 25 MPH WILL CONTINUE FOR THE REMAINDER
OF THE AFTERNOON ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
TONIGHT...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION WILL BRING FAIR SKIES AND LIGHT
WIND. WITH DEWPOINTS DROPPING INTO THE 20S...THERE WILL BE PLENTY
OF ROOM FOR RADIATIONAL COOLING TO PUSH TEMPS TO AROUND
FREEZING...WITH MANY INTERIOR LOCATIONS INTO THE 20S.

THURSDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN CONTROL AND SHOULD PROVIDE ANOTHER FAIR
WEATHER DAY. THE AXIS OF HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS OFFSHORE...WHICH
WILL ALLOW WINDS TO SWING AROUND TO SOUTHWEST AND IMPORT MILDER
AIR. PRESSURE CHANGE WILL REACH 0.5 TO 1.0 MB/HOUR BY THE
AFTERNOON WHICH WOULD TIGHTEN THE GRADIENT AND INCREASE WINDS.
WINDS AT 900-925 MB WILL BE 25-30 KNOTS...SO THE WINDS WILL ALSO
GET GUSTY DURING THE TIME OF MAXIMUM HEATING WITH SPEEDS OF 30 MPH
AND POSSIBLY NEAR 35 MPH AT TIMES. TEMPS AT 900 MB WILL BE ABOUT
4-7C WHICH WOULD SUPPORT MAX TEMPS UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S.

NOTING LOWER DEWPTS DURING THU...MAINLY IN THE 20S...SO RH VALUES
WILL DROP TO THE LOWER TO MID 20S. FIRE WEATHER HEADLINES MAY BE
NEEDED THU AFTERNOON.

&&

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

* COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ON FRIDAY
* QUICK MOVING COASTAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ON SATURDAY MORNING
* ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED ON SUNDAY/MONDAY
* COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE NEXT TUES/WED

MODELS AND CONFIDENCE...
HAVE MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST WITH A LOW CONFIDENCE
FOR NEXT WEEK. BELIEVE THAT PRECIP WILL OCCUR OVER THE WEEKEND BUT
THE EXACT TIMING AND LOCATION OF HEAVIER RAINFALL ARE STILL
UNCERTAIN AS GUIDANCE IS SPLIT. INCREASING CONFIDENCE THAT TEMPS
WILL BE WARMING AT OR ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND
AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY LEADING UP TO NEXT
WEEK AS STRONG TROUGH DIGS TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST.

OVERALL 00Z MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT. SPLIT-FLOW WILL
TRANSLATE INTO A CENTRAL/EASTERN TROUGH THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO
NEXT WEEK. THREW THE NAM OUT AS IT IS WEAKER COMPARED TO THE REST OF
THE MODEL GUIDANCE. THE GFS IS SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN THE EC...WITH
THE ENSEMBLES AGREEING WITH THE SLOWER EC TRENDED THE FORECAST
TOWARDS THE MORE AMPLIFIED SHORTWAVE. FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK...THE
ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE HAS TRENDED TOWARD A DEEPER/SLOWER CENTRAL/EASTERN
TROUGH...AS WAS SUSPECTED OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS...WITH THE
DETERMINISTIC MODELS AND ENSEMBLE MEANS TRENDING MOSTLY IN UNISON.
THE GEFS MEMBERS AND SOME GFS RUNS HAVE STAYED ON THE QUICKER SIDE
WHILE THE ECMWF HAS GENERALLY BEEN ON THE SLOWER/DEEPER AND
OCCASIONALLY EXTREME SIDE OF THE MULTI-CENTER ENSEMBLE SPREAD. THE
ECMWF ENSEMBLE MEAN HAS SHOWN THE BEST CONTINUITY AND LEAST RUN-TO-
RUN CHANGE AND REMAINS THE ANCHOR POINT OF THE FORECAST.

DETAILS...

THURSDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING...
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION VERY LATE THURSDAY NIGHT
SPOUTING OFF A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. THIS
FRONT WILL THEN STALL JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE REGION...EXPECT
PRECIP TO GENERALLY COME TO AN END BY LATE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER A
QUICK MOVING OPEN WAVE WILL STRENGTHEN RESULTING IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A CLOSED LOW AT 850MB ALONG THE FRONT. THIS LOW
WILL RIDE ALONG THE FRONT LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING
SPOUTING OFF MORE SHOWERS WITH AN OCCASIONAL HEAVY DOWNPOUR OR
TWO. THE OCCASIONAL RUMBLE OF THUNDER IS POSSIBLE ESP ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN WATERS...BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW AT THIS TIME AND WITHHELD
IT FROM THE FORECAST. BOTH THE EC AND GFS SHOW SOME DIFFERENCES IN
TERMS OF QPF AMOUNT WITH THE GFS SHOWING CLOSER TO AN INCH AND A
HALF WITH THE EC CLOSER TO AN INCH...ESP ACROSS WESTERN ZONES FOR
THIS ENTIRE EVENT. AS MENTIONED EARLIER...TRENDED THE FORECAST
TOWARDS THE SLOWER EC WITH QPF TOTALS NEAR AN INCH. UNCERTAIN ON
HOW THIS MAY IMPACT THE ALREADY SWOLLEN RIVERS BUT CANNOT RULE OUT
THE POTENTIAL FOR POOR DRAINAGE AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE LOW TO MID 60S...ESP AWAY FROM THE
COASTLINE...WITH LOWS IN THE 40S.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BEHIND THE SYSTEM ON SATURDAY BEFORE
MOVING OFFSHORE BY SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER ALONG THE
COAST DUE TO POSSIBLE SEA BREEZE DEVELOPMENT. OTHERWISE TEMPS WILL
WARM INTO THE LOW TO MID 60S...ESP IF THE CLOUDS BREAK UP FAST
ENOUGH.

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES
PUSHING A WARM FRONT INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND BY SUNDAY. A FEW
SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP ESP ACROSS THE NORTHWEST. KEPT A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF POP IN BUT CONFIDENCE IS SHAKY ON IF THIS WILL OCCUR. ENFORCING
WARM FRONT WILL PASS OVER THE REGION ON MONDAY PLACING US ON THE
BACKSIDE OF A VERY STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE. EXPECT TEMPERATURES FOR
BOTH DAYS TO WARM INTO THE MID TO UPPER 60S TO PERHAPS THE 70S BY
MONDAY. 850MB TEMPS ON MONDAY WILL WARM UP TO 12C AND ALTHOUGH
CLOUDS WILL BE AROUND...IF ANY OF THEM BREAK THEN TEMPERATURES WILL
WARM QUICKLY AS A STRONG LLJ AT 925MB WILL BE MIXING OUT.

TUESDAY AND BEYOND....
LARGEST UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST AS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT
TIMING DIFFERENCES. THE EC HAS SLOWED AGAIN PLACING THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY AS THE GFS MOVES IT THROUGH
TUESDAY. REGARDLESS MODELS AND THEIR ENSEMBLES ARE SHOWING A
DIGGING TROUGH MOVING INTO NEW ENGLAND WITH A STRONG COLD FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH IT. TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE FRONT MAY BE 20
DEGREES COOLER THEN TEMPS ON SUNDAY/MONDAY. THIS SHOWS THAT THERE
IS SIGNIFICANT DYNAMICS AT PLAY...WHICH MAY RESULT IN POSSIBLE
THUNDER ALONG THE FRONT. STRONG LLJ WILL DEVELOP RESULTING IN
POSSIBLE WIND ADV HEADLINES. IF TEMPERATURES DROP AS LOW AS THE
DETERMINISTIC GFS/EC SUGGEST THEN THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF THE
RETURN TO A WINTRY MIX NORTH OF ROUTE 2. IF THE NORTHEASTERLY
WINDS CONTINUE WED INTO THURSDAY THEN POSSIBLE COASTAL HEADLINES
MAY BE NEEDED. THERE IS STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY SO STAY TUNED
TO THE LATEST FORECASTS.
