AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
216 AM EDT WED SEP 30 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT SLOWLY APPROACHES FROM THE WEST LATE TONIGHT...THEN
BEGINS TO CROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WEDNESDAY MORNING...STALLING
OFFSHORE LATE WEDNESDAY. WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ALONG
THIS FRONT THROUGH LATE WEEK. WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER QUEBEC...
POTENTIAL REMAINS FOR STRONG ONSHORE WINDS...COASTAL FLOODING AND
HEAVY RAIN WITH POSSIBLE INLAND FLOODING. THESE THREATS MAY
PERSIST INTO THIS WEEKEND AS THE STALLED FRONT MAY PUSH BACK INTO
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 4 AM THIS MORNING/...

HEAVY RAIN IS MOVING INTO WESTERN MASS WITH SHOWERS IMPACTING THE
REMAINDER OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. WATCHING THE HEAVY PRECIP OVER
NJ AND HEADING TOWARDS NYC. BELIEVE THAT THIS SWATH OF HEAVY RAIN
WILL IMPACT SNE BY DAY BREAK. RAIN FALL RATES WITHIN THAT AREA IS
CLOSE TO 1-2 INCHES PER HOUR. NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE FORECAST AT
THIS TIME.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

STRONG COLD FRONT CONTINUES ITS EASTWARD MOVEMENT BRINGING SHOWERS
INTO WESTERN MASS LATE THIS EVENING. THIS COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY
SITUATED FROM BURLINGTON DOWN TO WILLIAMSPORT, PA. BEHIND THIS
FRONT IS STRONG NW WINDS WITH TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE 50S.
THIS WILL BE WHAT IS IN STORE FOR US TOMORROW.

FOCUSING ON OUT AHEAD OF THIS FRONT...SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS AHEAD OF
THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO POOL IN MOISTURE. THE MOISTURE HAS
TAPPED INTO SOME TROPICAL CONNECTIONS MAKING THE PWATS QUITE
HIGH...ALREADY AT 2 INCHED WHICH IS CLOSE TO 2-3 STD. ANTICIPATE
HEAVY RAINFALL RATES WITHIN ANY SHOWERS AND EVEN ISO THUNDER IF
CONVECTION DEVELOPS EARLY WED MORNING.

HEAVIEST RAIN IS BEGINNING TO ENTER THE BERKSHIRES AND WESTERN
MASS AND IS MOVING AT A SSW TO NNE FLOW. LOOKING DOWNSTREAM
APPEARS THAT THERE MAY BE A BREAK BUT HEAVY DOWNPOURS ARE
BEGINNING TO DEVELOP SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND DUE TO LLJ STRENGTHEN
OVER STRONG 850 MB MOISTURE. THESE HEAVY DOWNPOURS COULD FILL IN
AND IMPACT CONNECTICUT LATER TONIGHT.

OVERALL MOVEMENT OF THESE STORMS WILL BE SLOW AS A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM OVER PA/WV/VA BORDER WILL MOVE ALONG THE FRONT. THIS WAVE
OF LOW PRESSURE WILL BE THE FOCUS OF THE HEAVY RAINFALL IN THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS THROUGH MID-DAY TOMORROW. THERE APPEARS TO BE
SOME ISSUES ON OVERALL AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAIN. THE SYNOPTIC
GUIDANCE GFS/EC/NAM KEEPS THE BULK OF HEAVIEST RAIN JUST TO OUR
NORTH AND WEST WHERE AS THE HI-RES GUIDANCE BRING IT OVER WESTERN
MASS. DID A COMBINATION OF THE 2 DIFFERENT CAMPS FOR NOW AND WILL
WAIT AND GET ANOTHER LOOK AT THE 00Z GUIDANCE BEFORE MAKING ANY
HEADLINE CHANGES...IF IT IS NEEDED. SOME GUIDANCE UNDER DOES QPF
AMOUNTS ESP IF TAPPED INTO TROPICAL AIRMASS SO AM INCLINED TO
KEEP FLOOD WATCH UP FOR NOW.

THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY FOR CONVECTION EARLY THIS MORNING AS
SHOWALTERS DROP AFTER 9Z AND K VALUES ARE QUITE HIGH. BECAUSE OF
THIS CONTINUED WITH THUNDER IN THE FORECAST. ANY CONVECTION WILL
CONTRIBUTE TO HIGHER QPF TOTALS.

LASTLY WITH THE INCREASE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ANOTHER ROUND OF
FOG WILL IMPACT SNE. NOT ANTICIPATING AS DENSE AT THIS MORNING AS
RAIN COULD HELP MIX OUT THE ATMOSPHERE...SOMETHING TO WATCH
CLOSELY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /4 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
FROM EARLY WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING...

SYNOPSIS...COLD FRONT STRETCHING FROM QUEBEC BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST
WILL MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND DURING THIS TIMEFRAME STALLING
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN CAPE COD CANAL AND JUST OFFSHORE THE CAPE AND
ISLANDS.  THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO JUST WHERE THE FRONT SLOWS
AND THEN STALLS DUE TO THE STRENGTH OF THE WESTERN ATLANTIC RIDGE.
OTHERWISE...MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE OVERALL
PATTERN.

RAINFALL...SHOWERS BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. MAIN CONCERN FOR THE DAY IS HEAVY RAIN
GIVEN PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES 2 TO 3 STD ABOVE NORMAL.  GIVEN HOW
DRY WE HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS TO MONTHS...NOT EXPECTING ANY
MAINSTEM RIVER FLOODING WITH THIS EVENT.  THE CONCERN WE DO HAVE
WITH THE HEAVY RAIN IS FOR URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING.  THERE
IS A LOW PROBABILITY OF FLOODING ON SOME OF THE FLASHIER SMALLER
RIVERS AND URBAN WATERSHEDS. OVERALL...EXPECTING A WIDESPREAD 2 TO 4
INCHES OF RAIN WITH LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS.

THUNDER...THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS.
WHILE THERE IS PLENTY OF LIFT AND CONVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
FRONT...THERE IS NOT VERY MUCH INSTABILITY TO WORK WITH.
THEREFORE...NOT EXPECTING ANY SEVERE WEATHER.

TIMING...EXPECT TWO MAIN SLUGS OF RAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM.  THE FIRST
ONE WILL BE EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING /PRIOR TO THE MORNING COMMUTE/
WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS ACROSS WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND
CONNECTICUT.  THE SECOND ONE WILL BE LATER WEDNESDAY MORNING INTO
EARLY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS FOCUSED NORTH OF
THE MASS PIKE.  THEREFORE WE HAVE KEPT THE FLOOD WATCH AS IS WITH
THE FOCUS GENERALLY NORTH AND WEST OF INTERSTATE 95.

WIND...SHOULD NOT BE MUCH OF AN ISSUE DURING THIS TIME FRAME.  WINDS
WILL INCREASE AND BECOME GUSTY AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH. DESPITE A
LOW LEVEL JET INCREASING TO 40 TO 45 KTS IN THE LATE AFTERNOON...
EXPECT A LOW LEVEL INVERSION WILL HOLD WIND GUSTS TO JUST 20 TO 25
MPH THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.  THE EXCEPTION WILL BE IN ANY HEAVIER
SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS...WHERE THESE HIGHER GUSTS MAY BE ABLE TO
MIX TO THE SURFACE.

COASTAL FLOODING...SEE TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING SECTION BELOW.

&&

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

* OCCASIONAL RAIN AND PERSISTENT GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS THROUGH
  THIS WEEKEND
* MINOR COASTAL FLOODING POSSIBLE DURING THE THU AFTERNOON AND FRI
  AFTERNOON TIDE CYCLES
* POTENTIAL FOR RENEWED HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING IMPACTS FRIDAY...
  POSSIBLY LINGERING THROUGH THIS WEEKEND

OVERVIEW...TREMENDOUS UNCERTAINTY REMAINS REGARDING THE DETAILS
OF THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST...ESPECIALLY FROM THIS WEEKEND
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE FORECAST WILL ULTIMATELY DEPEND ON THE
PROGRESS AND DEVELOPMENT OF TROPICAL STORM JOAQUIN.

VERY COMPLEX FLOW PATTERN HIGHER UP IN THE ATMOSPHERE...WITH LOTS
OF MOVING PARTS. WILL HAVE TO SEE HOW EVERYTHING LINES UP OVER
THE NEXT FEW DAYS. RIGHT NOW...ONLY HAVE MODERATE CONFIDENCE TO
SPEAK IN GENERALITIES. HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE DETAILS SUCH AS
TIMING AND TRACK.

HIGH AMPLITUDE FLOW PATTERN DEVELOPS IN RESPONSE TO A STRONG
PERSISTENT BLOCKING RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC. AS THE
NORTHERN BRANCH OF THE JETSTREAM AMPLIFIES A TROUGH OVER THE GREAT
LAKES...A CLOSED LOW SHOULD EVOLVE OVER THE SOUTHEAST USA. THIS
WOULD ULTIMATELY MEAN TWO CAMPS FOR POSSIBLE TRACKS OF JOAQUIN.
ONE...WOULD BE WELL SOUTH OF OUR REGION...WHICH COULD HAPPEN IF
JOAQUIN REALLY SLOWS DOWN. THE MORE LIKELY POSSIBILITY...AND IN
LINE WITH NHC FORECAST...IS FOR JOAQUIN TO GRADUALLY TURN NORTH
ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD. THE BIG QUESTION THEN IS...HOW CLOSE
TO THE COAST WILL IT TRACK.

RESIDENTS AND THOSE WITH INTERESTS IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SHOULD
MONITOR LATER FORECASTS OF JOAQUIN.

DETAILS...

WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...GOOD MULTI-MODEL AGREEMENT ON A
COLD FRONT MOVING TO THE VICINITY OF CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS BY
WEDNESDAY EVENING...THEN MOVING SLIGHTLY FARTHER OFFSHORE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS FRONT WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR HEAVY RAINFALL
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AS VERY STRONG CONVERGENCE AND LOW
LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS ACT ON ANOMALOUS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
OVER 2 INCHES. THESE VALUES ARE +3 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE
NORMAL. AS THIS FRONT SETTLES FARTHER SOUTH WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY...THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL WILL SHIFT SOUTH WITH IT.
HOWEVER...WITH PERSISTENT +2 STANDARD DEVIATION PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES AND GOOD NORTHEAST INFLOW...EXPECTING OCCASIONAL RAIN WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW
ENGLAND...WITH A LESSER THREAT FARTHER NORTHWEST.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE...THE UNCERTAINTY WITH JOAQUIN IS LARGE. THIS
WILL BE A MAJOR FACTOR IN OUR WEATHER THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK. SHOULD JOAQUIN GET CLOSE TO OUR REGION...WE COULD SEE TOTAL
RAINFALL SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO WIPE OUT OUR CURRENT ANNUAL
DEFICITS. HOWEVER...THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE ON WHERE THE AXIS OF
HEAVY RAINFALL GETS ESTABLISHED. WITH LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THE
TRACK AND TIMING OF JOAQUIN...HAVE A PROLONGED PERIOD WITH A RISK
FOR RAINFALL...ALTHOUGH NOT EXPECTING IT TO BE RAINING THE ENTIRE
TIME. THESE DETAILS SHOULD COME INTO BETTER FOCUS OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS.

GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE COAST STARTING
WEDNESDAY EVENING AND CONTINUING THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY...AND
POSSIBLY INTO THIS WEEKEND AS STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT DEVELOPS
BETWEEN ANOMALOUS SURFACE HIGH WELL TO THE NORTH AND LOW PRESSURE
TO THE SOUTH. POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS TO 40 MPH ACROSS EAST COASTAL
MA...AND PARTICULARLY THE NORTH SHORE...LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER PULSE OF GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE
THIS WEEKEND. THESE GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS COMBINED WITH HIGH
ASTRONOMICAL TIDES WILL INCREASE THREAT OF MINOR COASTAL FLOODING
DURING THE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AFTERNOON HIGH TIDE CYCLES.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...
LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST AS MODELS STRUGGLING WITH HOW QUICKLY THE
DOWNSTREAM BLOCKING RIDGE BREAKS DOWN AND SUBSEQUENT DRYING.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

TODAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE ON TRENDS...LOW CONFIDENCE ON TIMING.

MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE
DAY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS SNE. HEAVY RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS FRONT WILL REDUCE VSBYS AND CAUSE SLICK RUNWAYS. LOW PROB OF
ISO TSRA OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT.

GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT CLOSE
TO 20-30 KTS...ESP ACROSS THE CAPE AND ISLANDS THEN SWITCH TO THE
NORTH BEHIND THE FRONT.

TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AS DRY AIR MOVES
OVERHEAD. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF TRENDS...LOW CONFIDENCE IN
TIMING.

KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF TRENDS...LOW CONFIDENCE IN
TIMING.

OUTLOOK /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

EXPECT PERIODS OF IFR CIGS/VSBYS IN PERIODS OF RAIN THROUGH MOST OF
THIS PERIOD. NE WINDS GUSTING UP TO 25-35 KT...HIGHEST ACROSS E
COASTAL MA.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

HIGH CONFIDENCE. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES CONTINUE THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. SEAS BUILD THROUGH THE PERIOD ON PERSISTENT
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS. INCREASED WAVEWATCH GUIDANCE BY 20 PERCENT
BASED ON ITS TENDENCY TO UNDERFORECAST. THIS HAS RESULTED IN 8-10
FOOT SEAS ON THE OUTER WATERS BY WEDNESDAY EVENING. A COLD FRONT
WILL APPROACH THE COASTAL WATERS LATE WEDNESDAY...RESULTING IN
WINDS GUSTING TO 25 TO 30 KTS. THIS COLD FRONT WILL ALSO BRING
WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN WHICH WILL LIMIT VSBYS ON WEDNESDAY.

OUTLOOK /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

EXPECT PERSISTENT NE WINDS DURING THIS TIMEFRAME. GUSTS UP TO 35-40
KT ARE LIKELY STARTING WED NIGHT THROUGH AT LEAST THU NIGHT. GALE
WATCHES REMAIN POSTED TO GIVE THE NEXT SHIFT A CHANCE TO LOOK
THINGS OVER. SEAS WILL ALSO BUILD...HIGHEST ACROSS THE EASTERN
OUTER WATERS...WHICH MAY REACH UP TO 15 FT. WINDS MAY TEMPORARILY
DIMINISH A BIT FRI BEFORE INCREASING AGAIN SAT. EXPECT PERIODS OF
HEAVY RAIN AND REDUCED VSBYS.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
WEDNESDAY ALONG SOUTH COAST...
COMBINATION OF HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDE AND SOUTHERLY FETCH WARRANTS
COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY FOR PORTIONS OF THE RI AND MA SOUTH
COAST. ANTICIPATING A SURGE NEAR 1.0 FEET...JUST A FEW FEET ABOVE
THE ESTOFS GUIDANCE FOR THE WEDNESDAY MID TO LATE MORNING HIGH
TIDE IN THAT AREA. THAT IS THE ONLY HIGH TIDE CYCLE OF CONCERN FOR
THE SOUTH COAST.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY ALONG EAST COAST...
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT THE WIND INCREASES FROM THE NE AND WE BEGIN
TO SEE POSITIVE SURGES ALONG THE MA EAST COAST...STARTING WED
NIGHT. A SURGE OF .5 TO 1.0 FEET MAY BE ENOUGH FOR AREAS OF MINOR
COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE E COAST LATE WED NIGHT/VERY EARLY THU
AM. AS THE NE FLOW PERSISTS...WE SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR THE SURGE
TO INCREASE INTO THE 1.0 TO 1.5 FOOT RANGE WITH ADDITIONAL MINOR
COASTAL FLOODING AROUND THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE POSSIBLE. FOR NOW
PLAN TO HOLD OFF ON ANY HEADLINES FOR THE E COAST. SOME BEACH
EROSION IS LIKELY DUE TO THE HIGH WATER LEVELS AND MODERATE WAVE
ACTION THAT MAY APPROACH JUST 15 FEET OFFSHORE.

WEEKEND OUTLOOK...
THE WEEKEND OUTLOOK IS HIGHLY UNCERTAIN AS IT COULD DEPEND IN
PART ON THE EVOLUTION OF JOAQUIN. PRELIMINARY INDICATIONS SUGGEST
A PERSISTENT NE FLOW THAT COULD KEEP THE SURGE RUNNING 1 TO 1.5
FEET WHILE THE ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES GRADUALLY BECOME LESS.

WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 30 PROVIDENCE HIGH TIDE AT 1021 AM

DATE / BOSTON HIGHEST TIDE / TIME

WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 30 / 12.2 FEET / 1:25 PM
