AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
213 PM EDT WED JUL 29 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL
BRING SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS LATE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. NOT
AS WARM AND LESS HUMID WEATHER IS EXPECTED FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND
AND PROBABLY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. WHILE FRIDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT
WEEK WILL BE MAINLY DRY...CAN/T RULE OUT AN AFTERNOON AND EVENING
THUNDERSTORM EACH DAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 PM THIS EVENING/...

2 PM UPDATE...

***HOT AFTERNOON ON TAP FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND***

HOT AFTERNOON IN PROGRESS WITH READINGS EXPECTED TO TOP OUT IN THE
LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION.  THE EXCEPTION IS
ALONG PORTIONS OF THE IMMEDIATE COAST WHERE LOCALIZED SEA BREEZES
WERE KEEPING TEMPS COOLER.  MAY SEE PORTIONS OF EASTERN MA COAST
SHOOT UP SEVERAL DEGREES IN THE NEXT 2 TO 3 HOURS...AS WINDS MAY
TURN MORE SOUTHERLY.

OTHERWISE...DRY WEATHER CONTINUES THIS AFTERNOON.  WE CAN NOT RULE
OUT A VERY ISOLATED SPOT SHOWER OR TWO THROUGH EARLY EVENING...BUT
EVEN IF IT OCCURS IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY ISOLATED.  THEREFORE...WILL
NOT INCLUDE IN THE FORECAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /7 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
TONIGHT...

DRY WEATHER WILL RESUME TONIGHT. HOWEVER THERE COULD BE ANOTHER
ROUND OF FOG ESP FOR THE SOUTH COAST...CAPE AND ISLANDS WHERE
DEWPOINTS WILL BE HIGHEST. OTHERWISE A MUGGY AND MILD NIGHT WILL BE
ON TAP WITH TEMPS DROPPING INTO THE LOW 70S.

TOMORROW...

DESCENT SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FLOW ON THURSDAY PUSHING A
COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA. WARM...HUMID AIRMASS WITH SOUTHERLY
FLOW WILL BE IN PLACE AHEAD OF THIS APPROACHING FRONT. THE
SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR MUCH OF THE REGION TO HAVE 70+
DEWPOINTS. THIS WILL HELP KEEP TEMPS SLIGHTLY LOWER...IN THE UPPER
80S TO LOW 90S. HEAT INDICES WILL STILL BE HIGH...REACHING INTO THE
LOW TO MID 90S.

00Z GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON TIMING OF THE FRONT. IN FACT
MOST MODELS HAVE SPED THIS SYSTEM UP BY ABOUT 6+ HOURS. SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE REGION AROUND 18Z AND
PUSH ACROSS THE AREA BY THURSDAY NIGHT. A FEW STRONG TO A SEVERE
STORM IS POSSIBLE AS INSTABILITY WILL BE QUITE HIGH WITH MARGINAL
MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES. SHEAR VALUES LOOK TO BE ALONG OR BEHIND THE
FRONT...WHICH COULD LIMIT STRONG/SEVERE POTENTIAL. BIGGEST THREAT
WITH THESE STORMS APPEARS TO BE HEAVY DOWNPOURS LEADING TO NUISANCE
FLOODING AS PWAT VALUES ARE ABOUT 2+ INCHES. GUSTY WINDS/LOCALIZED
DOWNBURST ALSO CANNOT BE RULE OUT DUE TO THE INVERTED-V SOUNDINGS.

&&

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

* PATTERN CHANGE TO MORE SEASONABLE TEMPS IS ACCOMPANIED BY SHOWERS
  AND THUNDERSTORMS THU NIGHT

* NOT AS WARM AND HUMID FRIDAY AND BEYOND

* MAINLY DRY WEATHER PREVAILS FRIDAY THRU TUESDAY

SYNOPTIC OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCES...

IMPRESSIVE AND ANOMALOUS VORTEX CURRENTLY OVER SOUTHERN MANITOBA AS
SEEN ON THE LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY WILL BECOME THE MAIN WEATHER
FEATURE THIS PERIOD...AS IT EVOLVES INTO A MUCH BROADER CIRCULATION
OVER JAMES AND HUDSON BAY THIS WEEKEND AND NEXT WEEK. THIS RESULTS
IN A BROAD MEAN LONG WAVE TROUGH SETTING UP ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES
AND THE NORTHEAST. THIS WILL SUPPRESS EXCESSIVE HEAT AND HUMIDITY
AIRMASS CURRENTLY OVER THE AREA SOUTHWARD BEGINNING FRIDAY AND
LASTING THRU THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. GIVEN GOOD MULTI
MODEL AGREEMENT AMONG DETERMINISTIC AND ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE REGARDING
THE LARGE SCALE FLOW THIS PERIOD...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS ABOVE
AVERAGE.

DAILY SENSIBLE WEATHER DETAILS...

THURSDAY NIGHT...

NORTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE AND ATTENDING COLD FRONT MOVE ACROSS THE
AREA. MODEST SYNOPTIC SCALE FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE.
WHILE INSTABILITY AND SHEAR IS MARGINAL IN THE PREFRONTAL
ENVIRONMENT...PWATS CLIMB TO 2+ INCHES /+2 STD DEVIATIONS ABOVE
CLIMO/. THUS GREATER RISK OF HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND LOCALIZED FLOODING.
WARM AND MUGGY CONDITIONS PREVAIL AS POST FRONTAL AIRMASS DOESN/T
ARRIVE UNTIL FRIDAY.

FRIDAY THRU TUESDAY...

TREND TOWARD MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES AND LOWER HUMIDITY ARRIVES
FRIDAY BEHIND DEPARTING COLD FRONT WITH HIGHS IN THE 80S AND LOWS IN
THE 60S. TOO DIFFICULT AT THIS TIME RANGE TO TIME INDIVIDUAL SHORT
WAVES EMBEDDED IN THE CYCLONIC FLOW.  SO BEST WORDING WOULD BE MANY
HOURS OF DRY WEATHER THIS PERIOD BUT CYCLONIC FLOW AND COOLER TEMPS
ALOFT WILL RESULT IN THE RISK OF A THUNDERSTORM DURING PEAK HEATING
HOURS EACH DAY.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...

TONIGHT...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.  MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXCEPT
FOR PATCHY FOG DEVELOPING LATE IN THE TYPICALLY PRONE LOCATIONS.  IN
ADDITION...LOW CLOUDS MAY WORK ONTO THE ISLANDS AND CAPE COD...BUT
SHOULD NOT MAKE IT MUCH FURTHER NORTHWEST THAN THAT WITH SOUTHWEST
FLOW.

THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  PROBABLY VFR CONDITIONS DOMINATE
INTO THE MID AFTERNOON...EXCEPT THE SOUTH COAST/CAPE AND ISLANDS
WHERE LOW CLOUDS/FOG PATCHES WILL BE AT LEAST NEARBY.  A FEW SHOWERS
ARE POSSIBLE IN THE WARM AIR ADVECTION PATTERN DURING THE DAY.
HOWEVER...A LINE OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY
WORK INTO WESTERN MA/NORTHERN CT BY LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING.  A
FEW OF THESE STORMS MAY CONTAIN LOCALIZED STRONG WIND GUSTS AND
TORRENTIAL RAINFALL.  IN ADDITION...SOUTHWEST WIND GUSTS OF 25 TO 30
KNOTS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN DURING THE
AFTERNOON.

THURSDAY NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  IFR CIGS/VSBYS LIKELY ACROSS
SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND COAST WITH MAINLY BROKEN MVFR TO VFR CIGS
ELSEWHERE. SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL WEAKEN AS THEY
PUSH INTO EASTERN MA AND RHODE ISLAND THU EVENING...BUT SOME LOCALLY
HEAVY RAIN IS STILL POSSIBLE.  BULK OF ACTIVITY OVER AFTER
MIDNIGHT...BUT PATCHY FOG AND LOW CLOUDS MAY DEVELOP.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE THROUGH TONIGHT.  SEA BREEZE SHOULD
COME TO AN END BETWEEN 21Z AND 23Z THIS EVENING.

KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE THROUGH TONIGHT.  PATCHY FOG MAY
AFFECT THE TERMINAL FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE DAYBREAK THURSDAY.

OUTLOOK /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...

THURSDAY NIGHT...MVFR AND IFR IN SCATTERED SHOWERS/T-STORMS AND FOG.
MODERATE TO HIGH FORECAST CONFIDENCE.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS.
VERY LOW RISK FOR AN AFTERNOON T-STORM SATURDAY.

SUNDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE FOR MAINLY VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

WINDS AND SEAS BELOW SCA TODAY AND TONIGHT HAS HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BE IN PLACE. APPROACHING COLD FRONT ON THURSDAY WILL INCREASE
WINDS ALONG THE SOUTHERN WATERS. COULD SEE SOME GUSTY NEAR 25 KTS.
PERSISTENT SOUTHERLY SWELL WILL INCREASE SEAS BETWEEN 4-6 FEET. A
SCA MAY BE NEEDED ON THURSDAY.

OUTLOOK /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...

THURSDAY NIGHT...SW WINDS 15 TO 20 KT WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 KT
POSSIBLE. ROUGH SEAS ON SOUTH OCEAN WATERS WITH WIND WAVES OF 3 TO 6
FT POSSIBLE. VSBY REDUCED IN SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS AND FOG.
MODERATE TO HIGH FORECAST CONFIDENCE.

FRIDAY/SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...COLD FRONT SLOWLY MOVES OFFSHORE WITH
WIND SHIFT FROM SSW TO WSW. DRY WEATHER AND GOOD VSBY. HIGH FORECAST
CONFIDENCE. LEFTOVER SOUTHERLY SWELLS ON SOUTH OCEAN WATERS FROM THU
NIGHT LINGER FRI BUT SLOWLY DIMINISH.
