AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
348 AM EDT SUN APR 13 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH ACROSS THE REGION TODAY BRINGING
EVEN MILDER TEMPERATURES INTO MONDAY. A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT
WILL BRING A SOAKING RAIN TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED BY
DRY AND MUCH COOLER CONDITIONS FOR THE MIDDLE AND END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...

THROUGH 8 AM/12Z...
HIGH PRESSURE MOVING OFFSHORE WITH A WARM FRONT ALONG THE NY/PA
BORDER DURING THE EARLY MORNING. JUST SOME PATCHY MID AND HIGH
CLOUDS OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. A MORE SOLID AREA OF CLOUDS IS
E-W ACROS NORTHERN/WESTERN NY AND VT/NH. UPPER AIR OBSERVATIONS
AT 00Z SHOWED A 40-45 KNOT SOUTHERLY JET AT 850 MB OVER
MICHIGAN/CENTRAL GREAT LAKES PUSHING MILDER MORE HUMID AIR NORTH
OVER THE TOP OF THE FRONT. THIS IS SHIFTING EAST...WITH RAIN OVER
ONTARIO AND WESTERN NY. THE PCPN IS MOVING EAST TOWARD VT/NH.

EXPECT DRY WEATHER AND MID/HIGH CLOUDS THROUGH 12Z.

TODAY...
WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. BEST/DEEPEST
MOISTURE AND LIFT WILL BE ALONG AND NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT. BUT
MODELS DO SHOW SOME QPF INTO AT LEAST NORTHERN MASS. THE ECMWF
ACTUALLY FORECASTS PCPN SOUTH TO THE COAST.  SUFFICIENT MOISTURE
AND INSTABILITY TO SUSPECT A FEW SCATTERED OR WIDELY SCATTERED
SHOWERS FARTHER SOUTH. WE WILL CONTINUE TO FEATURE SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS IN NORTHERN MASS AND LOW-END CHANCE POPS IN SOUTHERN NH.

MIXING PROFILES SUGGEST MIXING TO 925 MB. BUT MODEL VALUES CAN
UNDERESTIMATE THE DEPTH A LITTLE. ALSO...WARM ADVECTION BEHIND THE
WARM FRONT COULD MAKE 18Z VALUES UNREPRESENTATIVE OF LATE
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES. TEMPS AT 18Z AT THE TOP OF THE MIXING
RANGE WOULD SUPPORT MID TO UPPER 60S...BY 00Z IT WOULD BE MID 70S.
WE WILL GO IN BETWEEN WITH UPPER 60S TO MID 70S...EXCEPT COOLER
ALONG THE COASTLINE ESPECIALLY THE SOUTH COAST WITH MAX TEMPS IN
THE 50S. WINDS IN THE MIXED LAYER ARE FORECAST AT 25
KNOTS...POSSIBLY 30 KNOTS. WILL GO WITH SOUTH GUSTS TO 25 KNOTS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...

TONIGHT...WARM FRONT REMAINS WELL TO OUR NORTH WITH WARM SECTOR
AIR IN PLACE OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. DEWPOINTS IN THIS AIRMASS
ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MID 40S TO AROUND 50. MEANWHILE THE
OCEAN TEMPS SOUTH OF THE SOUTH COAST ARE 40-44 DEGREES. THIS WILL
HAVE A REFRIDGERATING EFFECT ON THE AIRMASS AS IT APPROACHES NEW
ENGLAND...AND CAUSE LOW LEVEL SATURATION AND FOG/STRATUS
FORMATION. THE MODELS HINT AT THIS BUT MOST BARELY SHOW A SMALL
AREA OF 50 PCT SKY COVER. WE WILL MANUALLY EDIT A MUCH HIGHER SKY
COVER ALIGNING WITH THE 46+ DEGREE DEWPOINTS. ALSO ADDED DRIZZLE
TO THE FOG. WITH DEWPOINTS 46-50...EXPECT MIN TEMPS IN THE UPPER
40S AND LOWER 50S.

MONDAY...
FOG AND DRIZZLE IN THE MORNING ESPECIALLY ACROSS RI AND SOUTHEAST
MASS. POSSIBLY IN THE CT VALLEY AS WELL. THE AIR ABOVE THE LOW
LEVEL CLOUDS/FOG LOOKS DRY ENOUGH FOR THE FOG TO BURN OFF IN THE
MORNING...LATEST AROUND THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. FULL SUN WILL AGAIN
BRING MIXING...WITH POTENTIAL REACHING TO 900 MB AND POSSIBLY A
LITTLE HIGHER. AFTERNOON TEMPS AT THIS LEVEL WILL BE EQUIV TO
7-10C AT 850 MB...WHICH SUGGESTS MAX TEMPS IN THE 70S. IF WE
ACTUALLY MIX TO 850 MB THEN THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR 80 DEGREES WITH
THE BEST CHANCE IN THE MERRIMACK VALLEY. MEANWHILE SOUTH WINDS
OFF THE OCEAN WILL KEEP THE SOUTH COAST MUCH COOLER...WE WENT WITH
60S. WINDS IN THE MIXED LAYER WILL BE STRONG WITH 40-50 KNOT
SOUTHWESTERS AT 2000-5000 FEET. EXPECT SOME OF THIS DRAWN TO THE
SURFACE IN GUSTS. WE WILL GO WITH 30 KNOTS...BUT MINDFUL THAT
STRONGER WINDS WILL BE OVERHEAD.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* STRONG COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE NEXT TUES/WED
* BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES RETURN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK
  WEEK

MODELS AND CONFIDENCE...

HAVE HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE WARMING TREND IN THE FORECAST OVER
THIS WEEKEND...WITH MODERATE CONFIDENCE FOR THE TIMING OF A LOW
PRESSURE TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. INCREASING CONFIDENCE
THAT PRECIP WILL OCCUR DURING THE MID-WEEK...BUT THE EXACT TIMING
AND LOCATION OF MODERATE RAINFALL ARE STILL UNCERTAIN. IN FACT
GUIDANCE IS TRYING TO STALL A FRONT JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA. HAVE
LOW CONFIDENCE THAT THIS WILL OCCUR. FINALLY...BELIEVE TEMPS WILL
DROP BELOW AVERAGE BY WEDNESDAY.

OVERALL 12/12Z MODEL GUIDANCE IS GENERALLY IN GOOD AGREEMENT. FOR
EARLY NEXT WEEK...THE UPPER PATTERN WILL BEGIN TO FAVOR A DIGGING
TROUGH ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS OVER
BOTH COASTLINES. THIS WILL PUSH A WAVY COLD FRONT ACROSS THE CONUS
AND INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BY TUES/WED. THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW
APPEARS TO RAPIDLY FLATTEN...LEAVING THIS FRONT OVER THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC FOR THE REST OF THIS FORECAST PERIOD.

THE DETERMINISTIC AND ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE CONTINUE TO SHOW BETTER
AGREEMENT ON THE EVOLUTION OF THIS SYSTEM. THE 12/12Z ECMWF
SHOWED A COASTAL LOW DEVELOPING ALONG THIS STALLED FRONT AND
MOVING CLOSER TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THIS STILL APPEARS TO BE AN
OUTLIER SOLUTION. WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR A STRONG HIGH PRESSURE
DOMINATING OUR WEATHER THROUGH THE END OF NEXT WEEK BEHIND A COLD
FRONT.

DETAILS...

MONDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY....

GUIDANCE IS BEGINNING TO CLUSTER MORE ON THE TIMING AND INTENSITY
OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONTAL SYSTEM. THE LATEST GUIDANCE
CONTINUE TO INDICATE SEVERAL WAVES WILL DEVELOP ALONG THIS SLOW
MOVING COLD FRONT...ALLOWING FOR MULTIPLE CHANCES FOR MODERATE TO
HEAVY RAINFALL.

ANTICIPATING A FEW SHOWERS TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY EARLY MORNING. BUT AS SOON AS THE FRONT
APPROACHES EXPECT MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL TO FALL. THIS PRECIP
MAY CAUSE URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING...AND IT MAY ALSO HELP
ELEVATE THE RIVER LEVELS IF EVERYTHING LINES UP. GUIDANCE IS
SHOWING EXCELLENT MOISTURE TRANSPORT...AND PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES ARE OVER 1.5 INCHES...WHICH IS 4 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE
NORMAL.

VERY STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL OCCUR AS THIS FRONT PASSES
THROUGH BY WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN AN INCREASE OF
WIND SPEEDS IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THIS FRONT. TEMPERATURES ARE
EXPECTED TO DROP VERY QUICKLY BEHIND THIS FRONT TUESDAY NIGHT. IF
ANY PRECIP LINGERS BEHIND THE MAIN FRONT...WE COULD HAVE SOME
MIXED PRECIPITATION...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE BERKSHIRES AND IN
SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE. CURRENT THINKING IS DRIER AIR ARRIVES
QUICKLY TUESDAY EVENING...MAKING THIS MORE OF A MINOR RISK.

LASTLY WITH THE STRONG ONSHORE FLOW FROM THE SOUTH...WE WILL NEED
TO WATCH FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME MINOR SPLASHOVER ALONG THE
SOUTH SHORE AND INTO NARRAGANSETT BAY. TIDES ARE SLOWLY INCREASING
WITH HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDE PEAKING NEXT FRIDAY/SATURDAY. HOWEVER
WE WOULD NEED CLOSE TO A 2 FT SURGE INTO NARRAGANSETT BAY AND A 5
FT SURGE ALONG THE SOUTH COAST TO RESULT IN COASTAL ISSUES. YET
THE BIGGEST CONCERN ACROSS THE SOUTH COASTLINE WOULD BE THE
POTENTIAL WAVE ACTION AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT.

THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL QUICKLY USHER INTO THE REGION BEHIND A
STALLED FRONT TO OUR SOUTH. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP WELL BELOW
NORMAL. WE WILL NEED TO MONITOR THE FRONT FOR ANY POTENTIAL WAVES
THAT COULD DEVELOP ALONG IT ON THURSDAY OR FRIDAY. RIGHT NOW
BELIEVE THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL WIN OUT...OVERALL HAVE
MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENT FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...

TODAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE. MAINLY VFR. COULD BE BRIEF MVFR
CIGS/VSBYS IN LIGHT SHOWERS NORTH OF MASS ROUTE 2 LATE
MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON. AREA OF LOW CLOUDS/FOG MAY APPROACH SOUTH
COAST INCLUDE CAPE COD/ISLANDS AFTER 21Z. SOUTH WINDS WILL GUST TO
25 KNOTS DURING THE MIDDAY/AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. LOW CLOUDS/FOG/DRIZZLE WILL BRING
IFR CIGS/VSBYS ACROSS RI AND SOUTHEAST MASS. SOME OF THIS COULD
SNEAK UP THE COAST INTO BOSTON. ALSO A CONCERN OF IFR IN THE CT
VALLEY. SOUTH COAST LOCATIONS SUCH AS NANTUCKET/HYANNIS/FALMOUTH
COULD SEE VSBYS DROP TO 1/4 MILE AT TIMES OVERNIGHT.
MEANWHILE...WINDS AT 2000 FEET INCREASING TO 40-45 KNOTS WILL
PRODUCE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR.

MONDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. INITIAL IFR CIGS/VSBYS IN RI AND SE
MASS...AND THE CT VALLEY. CONDITIONS IMPROVE TO VFR BY MIDDAY AND
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE WITH
GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS. CONTINUED SOUTHWEST WINDS 40-50 KNOTS AT 2000
FEET ABOVE SURFACE.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE.
EXPECT MVFR CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP FROM W-E DURING TUE IN RAIN
SHOWERS. PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE TUE AFTERNOON/EVENING
ACROSS CENTRAL AND WESTERN AREAS WITH AREAS OF IFR. PRECIP MAY
MIX WITH LIGHT SNOW AND/OR SLEET ACROSS S NH/W MA BEFORE ENDING
LATE TUE NIGHT OR WED MORNING. CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE TO VFR
FROM W-E DURING WED.

THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. VFR.

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

TODAY...INCREASING WINDS AND SEAS...REACHING 25 KNOTS AND 5 FEET
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS BEING ISSUED
ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS/RI WATERS. AREAS OF FOG AND LOW VSBYS WILL
DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE SOUTHERN WATERS AS HIGHER
DEWPOINT AIR MOVES NORTH OVER THE 40-44 DEGREE WATER.

TONIGHT...FOG AND DRIZZLE AND LOW VISIBILITY EXPECTED. HIGHEST
LIKELIHOOD WILL BE OVER THE SOUTHERN WATERS UP TO THE SHORE.
VISIBILITY MAY LOWER TO 1/4 MILE OR LESS.

MONDAY...AREAS OF FOG AND DRIZZLE MAY LINGER INTO MID
MORNING...BUT EXPECT IMPROVING VSBYS BY MIDDAY. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS MAY GUST 20-25 KNOTS. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY EXPANDS AT THAT
POINT INTO MASS BAY AND CAPE COD BAY...AND MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED
INTO THE REMAINING NEARSHORE WATERS.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

MONDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

FOG WILL DEVELOP AGAIN. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE
NEEDED.

TUESDAY INTO THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY. EXPECTING GUSTY WINDS AROUND THIS FRONT DUE TO STRONG
COLD AIR ADVECTION. SEAS WILL BUILD IN RESPONSE AND MAY START
RELAXING LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY
OF GALES TUESDAY EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE OUTER
COASTAL WATERS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
NERFC FORECASTS BRING LOWER CT RIVER FROM HARTFORD THROUGH MIDDLE
HADDAM INTO MINOR FLOOD STARTING LATER TODAY...BASED ON WATER
BEING ROUTED DOWNSTREAM FROM THE UPPER CT BASIN. FLOOD WARNINGS
CONTINUE FOR THE CT RIVER AT HARTFORD AND AT MIDDLE HADDAM. THOSE
