AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
942 AM EST WED DEC 9 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE LINGERS TODAY...BUT SHOWERS AND DRIZZLE ARE POSSIBLE
TONIGHT FOLLOWED BY A WARMER AND DRIER DAY FOR THURSDAY. VERY
MILD TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED OVER THIS WEEKEND AND ESPECIALLY
NEXT MONDAY. NEXT CHANCE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL RAIN WILL BE ON
MONDAY...WHEN A FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
940 AM UPDATE...

CLOUDS HANGING TOUGH ACROSS REGION THIS MORNING AND ASIDE FROM
SOME HOLES IN CLOUD COVER...NOT EXPECTING SIGNIFICANT CLEARING TO
TAKE PLACE. LIGHT S/SE FLOW WILL BRING INCREASING LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WHICH WILL BECOME TRAPPED BENEATH SUBSIDENCE INVERSION
AND LOW SUN ANGLE WILL HAVE A HARD TIME SCOURING ANYTHING OUT.

FORECAST HIGHS IN 40S ARE ON TRACK.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
TONIGHT...
STRETCHING UPPER LVL VORTEX WILL BE SLIDING E...INCREASING THE
LOW-MID LVL RETURN SW FLOW...WARM ADVECTION AND MOISTURE FLUX.
NOTING IN SOUNDINGS THAT THE SUBSIDENCE INVERSION ONLY STRENGTHENS
THANKS TO THIS MID LVL WARMING. INCREASING MOISTURE FLUX WILL LEAD
TO HIGHER DWPTS/RH VALUES BELOW THE VERY DRY LAYER ABOVE H8.
THEREFORE...SUSPECT WE WILL SEE LOW CLOUDS INCREASE OVERNIGHT ONCE
AGAIN. HOWEVER THE INCREASED WARM ADVECTION...AND DRY-OVER-
SATURATED SETUP MAY LEAD TO PERIODS OF DRIZZLE/FOG AND EVEN A FEW
ISOLATED SHOWERS. WX GRIDS REFLECT THIS THINKING. ALL-IN-ALL A
SOUPY NIGHT ACROSS SRN NEW ENGLAND AS DWPTS INCREASE INTO THE 40S.
THEREFORE...MINS ARE ONLY LIKELY TO DROP INTO THE LOW-MID 40S.

TOMORROW...
SHORTWAVE WILL BE SLIDING E OF THE REGION THROUGH THE
DAY...ALLOWING VERY WEAK RIDGING TO BUILD ACROSS THE REGION.
ALTHOUGH THE AMPLITUDE OF THE RIDGE IS WEAK...HEIGHTS ARE EXPECTED
TO BE QUITE HIGH...NEARLY 560DM AT H5. THEREFORE...IN SPITE OF THE
CLOUDY START...AND FAIR AMOUNT OF CLOUDS LEFTOVER THROUGH THE DAY
WITHIN THIS DIRTY HIGH...TEMPS WILL BE QUITE MILD...IN THE 50S TO
EVEN LOW 60S IN SPOTS...ESPECIALLY WHERE SOME SUNSHINE IS
OBSERVED. THIS IS MOST LIKELY FURTHER S...AWAY FROM THE WARM FRONT
ACROSS NRN NEW ENGLAND. WITH SOME DISSIPATION OF CLOUDS AFTER
EARLY MORNING RAINS/DRIZZLE ENDS.

&&

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

* MILD THROUGH MONDAY WITH NEAR RECORD WARMTH SUNDAY AND MONDAY
* LITTLE TO NO RAIN UNTIL MONDAY

OVERVIEW...

A FEW FAST MOVING SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST STATES FRIDAY. THE MAIN PATTERN HOWEVER WILL BE
DEEPENING UPPER TROUGH IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS BY SUNDAY WITH A
CORRESPONDING STRONG HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE ALONG THE EAST COAST.
THE DEEP TROUGH AND UPPER LOW WILL LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES STATES ON MONDAY AND THEN EJECT ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND
OR SOUTHEASTERN CANADA MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. AT THE SURFACE...
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT FEATURE WILL BE A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVING
ACROSS THE REGION IN THE MONDAY AFTERNOON TIME FRAME. NEAR RECORD
WARMTH IS EXPECTED LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO MONDAY WITH LITTLE OR NO
RAIN UNTIL MONDAY.

DETAILS...

THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY...JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A
SHOWER IN EASTERN MA AND RI AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES
ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

REST OF FRIDAY. INCREASING SUNSHINE. TEMPERATURES WARMING TO THE
UPPER 50S EXCEPT MID 50S NORTHWEST MA AND ON THE ISLANDS. 925 MB
SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BE 30-35 KT SO COULD SEE A PERIOD OF MIXING
CAUSING GUSTS TO AROUND 20 MPH AT THE SURFACE OVER INTERIOR
SECTIONS DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON.

SATURDAY/SUNDAY...

STILL LOOKS TO BE DRY AND MILD. THERE WILL BE PERIODS OF MID LEVEL
CLOUDINESS IN ASSOCIATION WITH MID LEVEL WARM AIR ADVECTION.
CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW BATCHES OF VERY LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS MAINLY
NORTH OF THE MASS PIKE ON EITHER DAY. BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME
IT WILL BE PARTLY SUNNY DURING THE DAY AND PARTLY CLOUDY AT NIGHT.
COULD AGAIN HAVE GUSTY WINDS EARLY SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH SOME
MIXING FROM ALOFT. INCREASING WARMTH AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS
ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD. HIGHS WILL APPROACH 60 ON SATURDAY AND
COULD BE IN THE LOWER 60S ON SUNDAY. THIS WILL BE CLOSE TO
BREAKING RECORDS ON SUNDAY.

SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY EVENING...ECMWF HAS NOW COME MORE INTO
LINE WITH THE GFS. PREVIOUS ECMWF HAD A STRONG UPPER LOW MOVING
FROM THE OHIO VALLEY ACROSS NEW ENGLAND. THE 00Z GFS HAS THE UPPER
LOW WAY NORTH OVER HUDSON BAY AND THE ECMWF IS FARTHER
NORTH...OVER THE SAINT LAWRENCE RIVER LATE MONDAY. THE RESULT ON
BOTH MODELS IS AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE SUNDAY NIGHT WITH A CHANCE
OF SHOWERS WAY OUT AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. THEN...DURING THE
AFTERNOON ON MONDAY...A LINE OF SHOWERS...POSSIBLY BRIEFLY
HEAVY...MOVES THROUGH AS THE COLD FRONT EXITS THE REGION.
CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS ARE NOT THAT BULLISH FOR THUNDERSTORMS SO
DID NOT INCLUDE IN THE FORECAST. HOWEVER...MOST NOTABLE IS A VERY
STRONG SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL JET THAT IS FORECAST TO
DEVELOP OVER SOUTHEAST MA AND SOUTHERN RI LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON.
WINDS AT 925 MB REACH 50-60 KT ON BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS. THIS
COULD TRANSLATE TO 30+ KT GUSTS AT THE SURFACE AND OVER THE
COASTAL WATERS.

MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...A RETURN TO DRY AND NEAR SEASONABLE
WEATHER FOR MID DECEMBER WITH LOWS MAINLY IN THE 30S TO LOWER 40S
AND HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 40S.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

945 AM UPDATE...HIGH CONFIDENCE THIS AFTERNOON. MODERATE
CONFIDENCE TONIGHT AND THU.

LINGERING MVFR CIGS IN WESTERN NEW ENGLAND WILL GRADUALLY
LIFT...WITH VFR CIGS 040-050 PREVAILING THRU AFTERNOON AND LIGHT
S/SE WINDS.

MVFR CIGS EXPECTED TONIGHT /AFTER 03Z/ AND SHOULD LOWER TO IFR
OVERNIGHT WITH AREAS OF DRIZZLE/FOG. MAY SEE POCKETS OF LIFR NEAR
COAST BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW. CONDITIONS SLOW TO IMPROVE THU BUT
CIGS SHOULD LIFT TO MVFR BY 15Z AND EVENTUALLY VFR BY 18Z.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR CIGS WITH LIGHT S FLOW THRU
THIS EVENING. IFR CIGS AFTER 06Z THU...LASTING THRU 15Z THU.

KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR CIGS WITH LIGHT S FLOW THRU
EARLY TONIGHT. MVFR CONDITIONS RETURN OVERNIGHT AND LAST THRU 15Z
THU.

OUTLOOK /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...

THURSDAY NIGHT...AREAS OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN WIDELY SCATTERED
SHOWERS.
