AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
341 AM EDT TUE OCT 20 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT OVER CANADA WILL SLOWLY MOVE SOUTH OVER NEW ENGLAND
TODAY AND THEN MOVE NORTH LATER WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL BRING CLOUDS
BUT VERY LITTLE PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA. MILDER AIR WILL MOVE
INTO THE REGION MIDWEEK. A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH ON THURSDAY
FOLLOWED BY COOLER WEATHER INTO THE WEEKEND. A SECONDARY COLD
FRONT MAY DELIVER MUCH COOLER WEATHER BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THROUGH 7 AM...
ONE BATCH OF LIGHT SHOWERS IS MOVING OFFSHORE. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS
ARE MOVING ACROSS NORTHERN NEW YORK INTO VT/NH. A FEW OF THESE MAY
CLIP FAR NORTHERN MASS OVERNIGHT. MOST CLOUDS ARE AT 8-10 THOUSAND
FEET AND DEW POINT DEPRESSIONS AT THE SURFACE ARE 15-20F. SO
EXPECT MOST SHOWERS WILL BE LIGHT.

TODAY...
SOUTHWEST 35-40 KNOT JET ALOFT OVER THE SOUTH COAST AND OFFSHORE
WATERS. OBSERVED WINDS AT 1000-3000 FEET AT JFK AND LGA ARE
AROUND 30 KNOTS...BUT WINDS AT BUZZARDS BAY TOWER SHOW 37 KNOTS.
BUOY 017 SOUTH OF MONTAUK PT REPORTED GUSTS TO 33 KNOTS PRIOR TO 2
AM. DAYTIME HEATING WILL MORE EFFECTIVELY MIX THE WINDS TO THE
SURFACE ALONG THE SOUTH COAST AND ISLANDS. POTENTIAL REMAINS FOR
35-40 KNOT GUSTS TODAY WITH THE BEST CHANCE ACROSS THE ISLANDS AND
PARTS OF CAPE COD. MOST WIND SHOULD FALL JUST SHY OF WIND ADVISORY
THRESHOLD...BUT CLOSE ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN THE EXISTING WIND
ADVISORY FOR THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. INLAND...A GUSTY DAY WITH
MIXING POTENTIAL MORE LIKE 20-25 KNOTS.

MIXED CLOUDS AND SUN TODAY WITH MIXING TO ABOUT 925 MB. TEMPS OF
9-12C SHOULD SUPPORT MAX SFC TEMPS 58 TO 65. DRY AIR NEAR THE
GROUND AND LIMITED LIFT ALOFT SHOULD WORK AGAINST MEASUREABLE
PRECIP...BEST CHANCE ALONG THE NORTHERN MASS BORDER.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
TONIGHT...
COLD FRONT WILL SLIP OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...BECOMING PARALLEL
TO THE UPPER FLOW AND STALLING. THIS WILL KEEP SOME CLOUDS OVER
THE REGION BUT OTHERWISE DRY WEATHER. MILDER AIR WILL HOLD IN
PLACE ACROSS SOUTHERN AREAS WHILE NORTHERN MASS MAY COOL SOMEWHAT
AS SHALLOW COOL AIR WORKS IN.

WEDNESDAY...
FRONT REMAINS STALLED MUCH OF WEDNESDAY BUT MAY SHOW SIGNS OF
MOVING NORTH LATE IN THE DAY AS A NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE
APPROACHES THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES. LOW LEVEL LIFT AND JET
DYNAMICS WOULD SEEM TO FOCUS OVER NORTHERN NY AND MOVE INTO
VT/NH SO THIS SHOULD BE A DRY DAY IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. TEMPS
ALOFT TREND A LITTLE HIGHER...SO SURFACE TEMPS MAY ALSO BE A FEW
DEGREES MILDER THAN TODAY.

&&

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

 * A FEW SHOWS POSSIBLE THU
 * DRIER AND COOLER INTO SAT
 * ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS POSSIBLE SUN
 * RISK FOR MUCH COOLER WEATHER EARLY NEXT WEEK.

OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCES...
CLASSIC SPLIT FLOW REGIME REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS MOST OF THE CONUS
THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD. THIS IS WITHIN A HEMISPHERIC REGIME OF
POSITIVE NAO/AO CONDITIONS SUPPORTING A RELATIVELY PROGRESSIVE AND
NEARLY ZONAL NRN STREAM. THEREFORE...ALTHOUGH SOME SHORTWAVES WILL
BE MOVING THROUGH THE REGION...THEY ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN
PROGRESSIVE.  THIS PATTERN ALSO FAVORS MAINLY DRY AIR...ESPECIALLY
IN THE LOWEST LEVELS WHICH COULD LIMIT OVERALL PRECIP CHANCES
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AND WEEKEND.  WHILE THE FIRST IN A
SERIES OF WAVES MOVING THROUGH ON THU/THU NIGHT LOOKS TO ATTEMPT TO
PHASE WITH A TROF IN THE SRN STREAM...IT DOES SO DOWNSTREAM...OUT OF
THE SPHERE OF INFLUENCE FOR SRN NEW ENGLAND.  A BLEND OF GUIDANCE
REMAINS A GOOD STARTING POINT FOR THE FORECAST.

DETAILS...

WED NIGHT... MODESTLY MORE MILD NIGHT AS THE COMBINATION OF WARM
ADVECTION FOLLOWING A WEAK WARM FRONTAL PASSAGE AND THE POSSIBILITY
OF SOME INCREASED COLUMN MOISTURE AND CLOUDS.  STILL NOT EXPECTING
MINS TO BE TOO FAR FROM SEASONAL NORMALS...BUT A BIT ON THE WARMER
SIDE.  MAINLY LOW TO HIGH 40S WITH A FEW LOW 50S IN THE URBAN HEAT
ISLANDS.  DRY WX CONTINUES TO PREVAIL.

THU INTO THU NIGHT... THE FIRST SHORTWAVE NOTED AS A SMALL BUT ACUTE
CUTOFF LOW PRES MOVING FROM THE CANADIAN PLAINS WILL BE SLIDING
ACROSS THE REGION...RESULTING IN A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE AT THE SFC
AND IN THE LOW LVLS.  MOISTURE REMAINS SOMEWHAT LIMITED THROUGH THIS
FROPA...PWATS LIFT TO ABOUT 1 STD DEVIATION ABOVE NORMAL...BUT THIS
GRADUALLY DROPS AS THE FRONT SHIFTS E.  ENSEMBLE PROBABILITIES SHOW
ONLY ABOUT 50 PERCENT PROBABILITY OF A TENTH OR MORE OF PRECIP
THROUGH THE PERIOD.  WILL CONTINUE WITH CHANCE POPS AS IT IS
POSSIBLE SOME LOCATIONS REMAIN DRY OR ONLY EXPERIENCE A SPRINKLE.
REGARDING HIGHS...H85 TEMPS REACH THEIR PEAK ON THU AT AROUND +10C
WITH H92 AROUND +14C.  THIS COULD ALLOW SOME SPOTS TO REACH NEAR 70
IF ENOUGH SUN IS OBSERVED...BUT AS THE PREVIOUS FORECASTER NOTED
THERE IS INDICATIONS CLOUDS MAY BUILD TOO FAST.  FOR NOW WILL LIMIT
HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S...WITH ONLY A SPOT OR TWO AROUND 70 IN
THE TYPICALLY WARMER LOCATIONS ACROSS E MA/RI.  PRECIP COMES TO AN
END THU EVENING WITH BREEZY COOL ADVECTION ALLOWING TEMPS TO FALL
BACK CLOSER TO SEASONAL NORMALS.

FRI INTO SAT... COLD ADVECTION WILL YIELD ANOTHER ROUND OF COOLER
WX.  BREEZY CONDITIONS ON FRI...WHEN THICKNESS VALUES DROP NEAR
AROUND 550DM AND H92 TEMPS FALL BACK NEAR 0C.  THEREFORE...COOL AND
BREEZY BUT NOT AS CHILLY AND RAW AS WE EXPERIENCED OVER THIS LAST
WEEKEND.  HIGHS FRI IN THE 50S WITH LOWS FALLING INTO THE 30S.  SAT
A BIT WARMER AS HIGH PRES SLIPS E ALLOWING FOR RETURN FLOW.  MAINLY
UPPER 60S WITH MINS IN THE 30S AND LOW 40S.

SUN AND SUN NIGHT... A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY HERE AS A SECOND WAVE
APPROACHES FROM THE W WITH GRADUALLY DEVELOPING CYCLONE
WHICH...GIVEN STEERING FLOW SHOULD REMAIN TO OUR N.  THE QUESTION
WITH THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE IS HOW MUCH F-GEN/MOISTURE WILL REMAIN
AS STRONGEST LLJ/UPPER DYNAMICS SHIFT N WITH FAVORABLE JET
ENTRANCE/EXIT REGIONS SHIFTING N WITH TIME AS WELL.  IT IS POSSIBLE
AND SOME DETERMINISTIC AND ENSEMBLE/CONTROL RUNS SUGGEST...THAT THIS
FROPA IS DRY.  FOR NOW...WILL HIGHLIGHT MAINLY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS.

EARLY NEXT WEEK... WHILE UNCERTAINTY IN RELATION TO DIRECT IMPACT
FROM THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE REMAINS...MOST GUIDANCE FAVORS THE
INTRODUCTION OF A MUCH COLDER AIRMASS BEHIND IT BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.
ENSEMBLE MEANS AT H85 SUGGEST TEMPS FALLING BACK INTO THE -5C RANGE
BY LATE MON.  THEREFORE...ANOTHER ROUND OF COOLER WX SIMILAR
/ALTHOUGH POSSIBLY NOT QUITE AS COLD/ TO LAST WEEKEND.  THIS
COINCIDES WITH LATEST CPC DAY 6-10 OUTLOOK SHOWING FAVORABLE
PROBABILITIES FOR TEMPS BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

HIGH CONFIDENCE THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

MAINLY VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD. PATCHES OF MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE EARLY
THIS MORNING ON CAPE COD AND ISLANDS. SPRINKLES POSSIBLE IN
NORTHERN MASS BUT NO VSBYS RESTRICTIONS ANTICIPATED.

A STRONG LOW LEVEL WSW JET MOVES ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON. WIND GUSTS AT THE SURFACE COULD REACH 35 KT OVER CAPE
COD AND ISLANDS WITH 25 KNOTS FARTHER NORTH AND INLAND. GIVEN
GOOD MIXING ALONG THE COAST NOT EXPECTING LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

OUTLOOK...WED NIGHT THROUGH SAT...

WED NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
MAINLY VFR...BUT SOME PATCHY FOG IS POSSIBLE AT LOCAL
AIRPORTS...ESPECIALLY THOSE TYPICALLY PRONE TO LATE NIGHT/EARLY
MORNING FOG.

THU AND THU NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
MAINLY VFR AS A COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH WITH SHRA...ALTHOUGH BRIEF
MVFR CANNOT BE RULED OUT.  WINDS BACK FROM THE SW TO THE NW BY EARLY
FRI MORNING.

FRI AND SAT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
MAINLY VFR.  GUSTY NW WINDS ON FRI...REACHING 25 KT OR SO AT TIMES.
LIGHTER WINDS BY SAT.

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

HIGH CONFIDENCE.

TODAY...WINDS GUSTING INTO THE 30S WITH A FEW SPOTS GUSTING AROUND
35 KNOTS. WINDS ALOFT WILL SUPPORT SUCH WINDS THROUGH MID
AFTERNOON. WE HAVE CONVERTED THE GALE WATCH OVER OUR SOUTHERN
WATERS TO A GALE WARNING. WINDS WILL BE MARGINAL BUT CLOSE ENOUGH
FOR THE HEADLINE. FARTHER NORTH WINDS SHOULD BE 25 TO 30
KNOTS...SO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR OUR REMAINING WATERS.

TONIGHT...
DIMINISHING WIND AND SEAS AS A WEAK COLD FRONT STALLS OVER/NEAR
THE WATERS. LINGERING SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS POSSIBLE OVER THE
SOUTHERN WATERS...MOSTLY DUE TO LINGERING ROUGH SEAS.

WEDNESDAY...THE WEAK FRONT MAY START TO MOVE NORTH LATER IN THE
DAY.  WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT THRESHOLDS.

OUTLOOK...WED THROUGH SAT...

WED NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
A PERIOD OF MAINLY QUIET BOATING WEATHER IS EXPECTED AS WEAK HIGH
PRES MOVES ACROSS THE WATERS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT.

THU THROUGH FRI NIGHT... A COLD FRONT CROSSES THE WATERS LATE IN THE
DAY ON THU AND THU EVENING.  A BUILDING SWELL FROM THE S WILL
APPROACH 5 FT DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS ON THE S AND SE WATERS.
THIS WILL BE BEFORE WINDS OUT OF THE W...THEN NW INCREASE WITH GUSTS
TO AROUND 25 KT AT TIME EXPECTED ESPECIALLY FRI AND FRI EVENING.
THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW WIND DRIVEN WAVES TO APPROACH SMALL CRAFT
THRESHOLDS.  CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH FRI NIGHT...BUT
EXPECT SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES THROUGH MUCH OF THIS PERIOD.

SAT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
ALTHOUGH CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO SUBSIDE...IT COULD
TAKE MOST OF THE DAY FOR SEAS TO DROP BELOW 5 FT ON THE OCEAN
WATERS. SO THE LOWER CONFIDENCE IS MAINLY FOR TIMING.
