AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
711 PM EDT TUE JUN 23 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THROUGH 11
PM.  CONVECTIVE WEATHER PUSHES OFFSHORE TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS INTO THE REGION FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...BRINGING
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES AND A PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER. THE END OF
THE WEEK AND THIS WEEKEND LOOK COOL AND RAINY AT TIMES. DRIER
CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 11 PM THIS EVENING/...
*** A TORNADO WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF SOUTHERN NEW
 ENGLAND THROUGH 11 PM TONIGHT ***

7 PM UPDATE...

A TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
THROUGH 11 PM TONIGHT.

ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS HAS MOVED OFFSHORE
HOWEVER...ANOTHER ROUND IS MOVING INTO WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS. THIS
IS WITH THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT AND WILL BE THE LAST OF OUR SEVERE
WEATHER FOR TODAY.

WE STILL HAVE A DECENT AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY...PARTICULARLY ACROSS
NORTHERN MASSACHUSETTS...AND PLENTY OF DEEP LAYER WIND SHEAR.
THEREFORE...EXPECT STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE SEVERE POTENTIAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /11 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
TONIGHT...

COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION SWITCHING THE WINDS TO A
WESTERLY DIRECTION. CLOUD COVER WILL CLEAR OUT ALLOWING FOR
OVERNIGHT LOWS TO DROP INTO THE LOW 60S WITH UPPER 60S IN THE
METRO REGIONS. LOW PROBABILITY OF RADIATIONAL FOG OVERNIGHT THANKS
TO RAINFALL FROM THE AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS PROVIDING A MOIST
GROUND AS TEMPS COOL OFF. BEST SHOT WOULD BE IN VALLEYS AND LOW-
LYING AREAS.

WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BEHIND THE FRONT...EXPECTING
SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES AND FAIR WEATHER AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN. TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S WITH
LIGHT WINDS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
UPDATED 330 AM

HIGHLIGHTS...

* MAJOR PATTERN CHANGE WITH COOLER AND POSSIBLY UNSETTLED WEATHER
* DRY AND SEASONABLE WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY
* UNSEASONABLY COOL WITH PERIODS OF RAIN POSSIBLE LATE THIS WEEKEND

SYNOPTIC OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCES...

GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT AMONG ENSEMBLES AND DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE THAT
CLOSED LOW FORMS OVER SOUTHEAST QUEBEC WED AND THEN INTO THE
MARITIMES THU. THIS SHIFTS THE NORTHERN STREAM JET SOUTH AND WEST OF
NEW ENGLAND...SUPPRESSING SUMMER HEAT AND HUMIDITY FROM ENTERING NEW
ENGLAND. THUS DRY AND SEASONABLE WEATHER HERE ALONG WITH LOWER
HUMIDITY WED AND THU. NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY THEN DIVES INTO THE
BASE OF LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER THE NORTHEAST AND MAY YIELD A PERIOD
OF SHOWERS THU NGT INTO EARLY FRI WITH HIGHEST PROBABILITY ACROSS
CT/RI AND SOUTHEAST MA...ESPECIALLY SOUTH COAST.

BY LATER FRIDAY AND INTO SAT DRY WEATHER RETURNS BEHIND DEPARTING
WAVE BUT LIKELY SHORT LIVED AS LARGE AMPLITUDE RIDGE DEVELOPS OVER
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST INTO WESTERN CANADA...WHICH INDUCES DOWNSTREAM
TROUGHING OVER THE OH AND TN VALLEYS. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A
MAJOR PATTERN CHANGE FOR THE CONUS. AT THE SURFACE THIS SUPPORTS LOW
PRES OVER THE MID ATLC REGION AND LIFTING NORTHEAST TOWARD NEW
ENGLAND LATE THIS WEEKEND. THIS WOULD YIELD A PERIOD OF RAINY AND
CHILLY WEATHER FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. GIVEN THE TIME RANGE HERE
SURPRISINGLY THE DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE IS VERY CLOSE. THUS WILL NOT
DEVIATE MUCH FROM A MODEL BLEND APPROACH THIS FORECAST TIME PERIOD.

&&

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...

THROUGH 03Z...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR CONDITIONS WILL
DOMINATE AND MOST SITES SHOULD BE MAINLY DRY. HOWEVER...EXPECT
SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO OCCUR ALONG THE COLD
FRONT THIS EVENING. THESE MAY RESULT IN BRIEF IFR TO LIFR
CONDITIONS WITH VERY STRONG WIND GUSTS AND HAIL. IFR CONDITIONS
EXIST ACROSS THE CAPE AND ISLANDS AND WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE COLD
FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH.

TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE FROM WEST TO
EAST. WINDS WILL SWITCH TO THE WEST.

FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

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

LOW LEVEL JET HAS RESULTED IN NEAR SHORE SMALL CRAFT SOUTHWEST
WIND GUSTS OF 30 KNOTS. HAVE EVEN SEEN A FEW BRIEF GUSTS NEAR 35
KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON...BUT NOT WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO HOIST A GALE
WARNINGS. SEAS WILL ALSO BUILD TO BETWEEN 3 AND 6 FEET ACROSS THE
OUTER WATERS.

A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH WIND GUSTS TO 50 KNOTS AND
LARGE HAIL ARE A POSSIBILITY...MAINLY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING. WHILE A SEVERE STORM OR TWO CAN NOT BE RULED OUT
ACROSS ANY OF OUR NEARSHORE WATERS...HIGHEST RISK WOULD BE IN THE
WATERS ALONG THE NORTHEAST MA COAST.

TONIGHT...COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS FROM NW TO SE
TONIGHT SWITCHING THE WINDS TO A MORE WESTERLY DIRECTION. COULD
SEE LINGERING 5 FT SEAS ON THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS...SCA WILL
CONTINUE.

WEATHER WITH MODEST WEST WINDS. LOW RISK FOR A FEW SHOWERS THU NIGHT
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS.
