Areal Flood Warning 21, NWS Boston/Norton, MA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
310 PM EDT TUE AUG 25 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON...THEN CROSSES SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE SLOWLY BUILDS IN FOR MID AND LATE WEEK WITH MAINLY DRY
AND SEASONABLE WEATHER AND COMFORTABLE HUMIDITY LEVELS EXPECTED
WEDNESDAY INTO SATURDAY. WARMER TEMPERATURES AND HIGHER HUMIDITIES
RETURN FOR THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
THROUGH 7 PM...
COLD FRONT IN THE HUDSON VALLEY WITH WARM AND VERY HUMID AIR OVER
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. OBSERVATIONS SHOW A LIGHT WIND FIELD...LIGHT
ENOUGH FOR WINDS TO TURN EAST ALONG THE MASS EAST COAST NORTH OF
CAPE COD BAY. THIS IN TURN HAS BROUGHT FOG ASHORE ALONG THIS
STRETCH OF COASTLINE.

WITH BREAKING CLOUDS ACROSS MUCH OF THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND...SOLAR HEATING HAS STARTED TO DESTABILIZE THE AIR MASS
WITH SBCAPE 1500-2000 J/KG AND MIXED LAYER CAPE 1000-1500 J/KG.
LAPSE RATES ABOVE THE SURFACE HAVE MEDIOCRE THROUGH EARLY
AFTERNOON BUT LOW LEVEL RATES HAVE JUST REACHED 7C/KM AND FURTHER
HEATING MAY HELP BUILD THESE RATES FURTHER. WINDS ABOVE THE
SURFACE HAVE REACHED 20-25 KNOTS AT 850 MB AND 35-40 KNOTS AT 500
MB. THE 500 MB WINDS MAY INCREASE FURTHER THROUGH THIS EVENING.

SCATTERED SHOWERS/STORMS HAVE FIRED IN THE CT VALLEY AND MOVED
NORTHEAST. THIS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH SOME
AREAL EXPANSION POSSIBLE. THE THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE ABLE TO TAP
SOME OF THE WIND ALOFT AND BRING STRONG WIND GUSTS TO THE SURFACE.
THIS MAY CAUSE ISOLATED DAMAGE.

PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE AROUND 1.5 INCHES...HIGHEST IN
EASTERN MASS. THIS IS NOT TREMENDOUSLY ABOVE NORMAL BUT MAY HELP
SUPPORT SOME LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS.

TONIGHT...
COLD FRONT SLOWLY MOVES ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...REACHING THE
EAST MASS COAST TOWARD MORNING. CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL LINGER
UNTIL IT MOVES THROUGH...BUT INCOMING MID LEVEL DRY AIR WILL LIMIT
THE ABILITY OF ANY SHOWER. DEW POINTS WILL REMAIN HIGH MUCH OF
THE NIGHT...BUT BEGIN TO LOWER OVERNIGHT AFTER THE COLD FRONT
MOVES THROUGH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
UPPER LOW LINGERS OVER QUEBEC WITH CYCLONIC FLOW AND COLD
ADVECTION ALOFT OVER NEW ENGLAND. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SUPPLIES
SUBSIDENCE NEAR GROUND. PLENTY OF DRY AIR NEAR THE SURFACE AND A
MOIST LAYER ABOVE 850 MB. EXPECT THERE WILL BE SOME CLOUDS
WEDNESDAY...BUT OTHERWISE A FAIR DAY WITH MIXING REACHING UP TO
825 MB AND POSSIBLY A LITTLE HIGHER. TEMPS AT THAT LEVEL WILL
SUPPORT MAX SFC TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 80S. DEW POINTS WILL TREND
LOWER /MORE COMFORTABLE/ WITH AFTERNOON VALUES IN THE MID 50S TO
AROUND 60.

FAIR WEATHER CONTINUES WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH A LIGHT NORTHWEST
WIND. MIN TEMPS WILL REACH NEAR DEW POINT MOST PLACES WITH VALUES
IN THE MID 50S TO LOW 60S...A LITTLE HIGHER IN BOSTON AND ALONG
THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

OVERVIEW...

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS AND ENSEMBLES REMAIN IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT
DURING THE THU-SAT TIMEFRAME...WEAKENING THE EASTERN LONG WAVE
TROUGHING AS CUTOFF LOW LIFTS NE OVER EASTERN CANADA. UPPER FLOW
BECOMES MORE ZONAL ACROSS THE EASTERN SEABOARD BY LATE THIS WEEK.
LARGE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE THE DOMINANT FEATURE ACROSS
THE EASTERN HALF OF THE U.S. INTO THIS WEEKEND.

DO NOTE DIVERGENCE IN SOME OF THE MODEL SOLUTIONS DURING THIS
WEEKEND...NAMELY THE 06Z/12Z GFS...IN HANDLING LINGERING H5 SHORT
WAVE WEAKNESS. MOST MODELS AND ENSEMBLES KEEP THIS HANGING AROUND
THE GREAT LAKES INTO OHIO VALLEY...BUT THE GFS SHIFTS IT E MUCH
FASTER AND OVERDOES THE PRECIP FIELD. ON SATURDAY...IT TRIES TO
WORK MOISTURE UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD AROUND THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
OFFSHORE...THEN SHIFTS SHORT WAVE ENERGY E AROUND THE
SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT TIMEFRAME. THE 00Z ECMWF/GGEM KEEP THIS
WEAKNESS WELL W OF THE REGION AND NOT NEARLY AS MUCH CONVECTION
WITH IT AS THE HIGH PRES OFFSHORE REMAINS IN CONTROL. GEFS/ECENS
MEANS ALSO KEEP A MAINLY DRY FORECAST GOING...SO LEANED TOWARD THE
DRIER SOLUTION DURING THIS TIMEFRAME.

INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...LOOKS LIKE HIGH PRES RETURNS AS W-NW FLOW
ALOFT TAKES OVER WITH HIGH AMPLITUDE UPPER RIDGE BUILDING INTO
HUDSON AND JAMES BAYS. SW SURFACE WINDS TAKE OVER...WHICH BRING
WARMER TEMPS AND HIGHER HUMIDITY.

LEANED TOWARD AVAILABLE GUIDANCE FOR THE EARLY PORTION OF THIS
FORECAST...THEN TRANSITIONED TOWARD THE ENSEMBLE MEANS FROM SUNDAY
ONWARD.

DETAILS...

THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

LARGE HIGH PRES RIDGE BUILDS E OUT OF THE MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES.
EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS.

A GENERAL W-NW FLOW IN PLACE FOR THURSDAY-FRIDAY...THEN RIDGE AXIS
SHIFTS E ON SATURDAY BRINGING RETURN TO SW WINDS AND GRADUALLY
INCREASING HUMIDITY.

SUNDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE...MODEL SOLUTION DIVERGENCE DUE TO TIMING OF
SYNOPTIC FEATURES ACROSS THE REGION. LEANED TOWARD THE HPC
GUIDANCE FOR THIS PERIOD. KEPT A DRY FORECAST GOING. WILL ALSO SEE
TEMPS RISE...WITH HIGHS POSSIBLY AS MUCH AS 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE CENTRAL U.S. INTO CENTRAL
CANADA...KEEPING MAINLY DRY FLOW IN PLACE. SOME UNCERTAINTY DUE
TO DIVERGENCE WITH EARLIER SOLUTIONS...THOUGH LOOKING A BIT MORE
CONFIDENT.

TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO TREND ABOVE NORMAL DURING THIS
TIMEFRAME...WHICH IS BACK TO SCHOOL FOR SOME. BOTH MODELS AND
ENSEMBLES ARE HINTING AT UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 AS UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE CONTINUES TO BUILD ACROSS THE CENTRAL U.S.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...

THIS AFTERNOON...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. AREAS OF IFR FOG ALONG THE
MASS EAST COAST UNTIL WINDS BECOME SOUTH. OTHERWISE VFR WITH
PATCHES OF MVFR CIGS IN SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS...MOSTLY IN
CENTRAL MASS AND NORTHEAST CT.

TONIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. LINGERING SHOWERS/TSTMS EARLY WITH
BRIEF MVFR/IFR POSSIBLE. PATCHY FOR DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT WITH MVFR
AND SOME IFR. WIND SHIFT WITH COLD FRONT PASSAGE...WINDS BECOMING
WEST BY MORNING MOST AREAS.

WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR. PATCHY IFR
IN FOG LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

KBOS TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF. DIFFICULT FORECAST
FOR THE FIRST 3-4 HOURS. WINDS SHIFTED EAST JUST BEFORE 18Z AND
DREW FOG ONSHORE WITH VSBYS 1/2 AT TIMES. THIS EAST WIND WILL
CONTINUE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS AND SHOULD KEEP THREATENING FOG
DURING THIS TIME. THIS SHOULD END FOR GOOD AS WINDS BECOME SOUTH
AHEAD OF SCATTERED TSTMS APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. WIND SHIFT TO
WEST LATER TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH.

KBDL TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

OUTLOOK /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.

THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS. COULD SEE WEAK
SEA BREEZES ALONG THE COASTLINES. MAY SEE BRIEF PATCHY FOG
OVERNIGHT THU NIGHT ACROSS NORMALLY PRONE INTERIOR VALLEYS.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

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

WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW 25 KNOTS AND 5 FEET THROUGH THE
PERIOD. A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT
AND MAY BRING A FEW SHOWERS TO THE WATERS...POSSIBLY A TSTM.

AREAS OF FOG ON THE EASTERN MASS WATERS WILL DIMINISH WITH THE
WIND SHIFT. ADDITIONAL FOG WILL AFFECT THE WATERS IN THE LIGHT
FLOW TONIGHT.

OUTLOOK /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

EXPECT WINDS AND SEAS TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA AS HIGH
PRESSURE TAKES CONTROL. EXPECT W-NW WINDS THU-FRI...SHIFTING TO
S-SW FRI NIGHT-SUNDAY.
