Special Weather Statement, NWS Boston/Norton, MA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
206 PM EDT WED JUL 8 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TODAY BRINGING
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...SOME WITH HEAVY DOWNPOURS.
LEFTOVER SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT ALONG THE SOUTH
COAST...THEN MAINLY DRY THURSDAY MORNING BEFORE A NEW AREA OF
SHOWERS APPROACHES LATE THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT FROM WEST TO
EAST. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER NEW ENGLAND FOR FRIDAY AND
THE WEEKEND WITH DRY AND WARMER WEATHER. UNSETTLED WEATHER THEN
RETURNS FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING/...

***FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR LATE THIS MORNING INTO
 THIS EVENING FOR ALL RHODE ISLAND...MOST OF SOUTHEASTERN
 MASSACHUSETTS AS WELL AS SUFFOLK AND NORFOLK COUNTIES***

2 PM UPDATE...

NOT MUCH CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST. MONITORING BUILDING
CONVECTION ALONG AND AHEAD OF COLD FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE
REGION...APPROXIMATELY FROM BVY-BED-ORH-BDL. MODEST INSTABILITY
ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH SPC MESOANALYSIS PAGE INDICATING
1000 J/KG OF ML CAPE AND 2000 J/KG OF SBCAPE...THANKS TO BREAKS IN
THE OVERCAST. FORCING FOR ASCENT IS WEAK GIVEN DEAMPLIFYING MID
LEVEL TROUGH ALONG WITH LIMITED FRONTAL CONVERGENCE. HOWEVER
MODEST INSTABILITY WILL ENHANCE THE RESPONSE. TROPICAL AIRMASS IN
PLACE WITH DEW PTS IN THE LOW 70S ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT
COMBINED WITH PWATS NEAR 2" AND K INDICES IN THE MU30S! THIS WILL
SUPPORT AT LEAST A FEW STORMS CONTAINING TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS. THE
STRONGER UPDRAFTS HAVE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE A WET MICROBURST AS
WELL. ALL MODEL GUIDANCE INCLUDING GLOBAL AND HI RES /ARW AND NMM/
SUGGEST CONVECTION INTENSIFIES AS IT ENTERS RI AND SOUTHEAST MA
LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /8 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM THURSDAY/...
TONIGHT...

WITH A WEAK...NEARLY ZONAL UPPER FLOW ACROSS THE NORTHEAST...
LOOKS LIKE THE COLD FRONT WILL STALL NEAR OR JUST OFF THE S COAST
OVERNIGHT. ANOTHER H5 SHORT WAVE RIDES ALONG THIS FRONT WITH
ASSOCIATED WEAK SURFACE REFLECTION BUT WILL BE ENOUGH TO BRING
ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS. COULD STILL SEE SOME ISOLD THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH AROUND MIDNIGHT. STILL RATHER HUMID AIR ACROSS N CT/RI/SE
MA THROUGH MOST OF THE NIGHT ESPECIALLY ALONG S COAST...SO COULD
STILL SEE SOME BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOURS THROUGH 03Z-04Z.

NOTING TEMPS COOLING DOWN BEHIND THE FRONT MAINLY NEAR AND NORTH
OF THE MASS PIKE. TEMPS MAY DROP TO THE MID-UPPER 50S ACROSS N
CENTRAL AND NW MA COOLEST ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN...BUT WILL
RANGE TO THE MID AND UPPER 60S ACROSS S COASTAL AREAS NEAR WHERE
THE FRONT STALLS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
BIG PICTURE... UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE MIDWEST LATE IN THE WEEK
WHILE TROUGHS DIG OVER THE WESTERN USA AND OVER THE MARITIMES.  THE
RIDGE SHIFTS WEST OVER THE PLAINS EARLY NEXT WEEK WHILE THE MARITIME
TROUGH SHIFTS WEST CLOSER TO NEW ENGLAND. CONTOUR HEIGHTS REMAIN
NEAR NORMAL OR A LITTLE ABOVE THROUGH THE PERIOD.  PUT IT
TOGETHER...IT SUGGESTS WARM DRY WEATHER DURING THE LATE WEEK/WEEKEND
WITH A TREND TO SOME UNSETTLED WEATHER EARLY NEXT WEEK BUT CONTINUED
WARM TEMPERATURES.

THE DAILIES...

THURSDAY... COLD FRONT REMAINS STALLED TO OUR SOUTH. A SHORTWAVE
MOVES THROUGH THE NORTHERN STREAM. THE SUPPORTING JET PLACES
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND IN ITS RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION DURING THE
AFTERNOON/EVENING. THIS WOULD BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO GENERATE A WAVE
ALONG THE STALLED COLD FRONT. CROSS SECTIONS SHOW SUFFICIENTLY DEEP
MOISTURE FOR CLOUDS AND POSSIBLY SOME SHOWERS. THE HIGHEST CHANCE
WOULD BE CLOSEST TO THE FRONT...ALONG THE SOUTH COAST...WITH POPS
DIMINISHING TO THE NORTH. WE WILL HAVE CHANCE POPS MAINLY ALONG AND
SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE.

SKY COVER AND NORTHEAST LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL LIMIT HOW WARM TEMPS
WILL CLIMB DURING THE DAY.  WILL GO WITH MAX VALUES IN THE 70S. DEW
POINTS IN THE UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S WILL MAINTAIN OVERNIGHT MIN
TEMPS IN THE UPPER 50S AND 60S.

FRIDAY-SATURDAY-SUNDAY... HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION WITH
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THIS SHOULD BE A DRY WARM PERIOD. ANOTHER
NORTHERN STREAM UPPER SHORTWAVE SWINGS THROUGH LATE FRIDAY/FRIDAY
NIGHT AND CREATES A CONCERN FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS. THERE IS A MOIST
LAYER ABOVE 850 MB THAT COULD BE TAPPED FOR CLOUDS/SHOWERS...BUT
ALSO A LOT OF SUBSIDENCE FROM HIGH PRESSURE. WE WILL MAINTAIN A DRY
FORECAST AT THIS TIME. SUBSIDENCE AND DRY WEATHER SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY AS WELL.

MIXING LEVELS REACH TO NEAR 800 MB ALL THREE DAYS WITH NORTHWEST
WINDS AT 15 KNOTS IN THE MIXED LAYER FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
TEMPERATURES MIXED FROM 800 MB WOULD SUPPORT MAX SFC TEMPS IN THE
MID TO UPPER 80S...POSSIBLY A FEW WARM SPOTS AROUND 90 ON SUNDAY.

SUNDAY NIGHT-MONDAY-TUESDAY... HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS OFFSHORE BY
SUNDAY NIGHT.  MODELS ARE SHOWING A SHORTWAVE MOVING INTO THE
NORTHWEST FLOW OVER THE NORTHEAST USA...SPREADING CLOUDS/SHOWERS
INTO OUR AREA EITHER SUNDAY NIGHT OR MONDAY. THERE ARE ALSO SIGNS OF
A COASTAL LOW FORMING UNDER THE SOUTHERN STREAM SUNDAY NIGHT...DOES
IT MOVE OUT TO SEA OR UP THE COAST? SUFFICIENT POSSIBILITIES TO
BRING CHANCE POPS TO THE REGION...SUNDAY NIGHT POSSIBLE BUT MORE
CONFIDENCE ON MONDAY.  A COLD FRONT THEN SWEEPS SOUTHEAST IN THE
NORTHERN STREAM TUESDAY WITH SHOWERS AND SCATTERED TSTMS. OF
COURSE...DEPENDING ON EXACT TIMING FROM SHORTWAVES LATE IN THE
PERIOD IS RISKY. BUT WITH THE MARITIME TROUGH SHIFTING WEST...THE
POTENTIAL FOR UNSETTLED WEATHER SUPPORTS THE IDEA OF POPS ON DAYS 6
AND 7.

&&

.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 TONIGHT/...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

2 PM UPDATE...

BROKEN LINE OF SHOWERS/T-STORMS ACROSS EASTERN CT NORTHEAST INTO
GREATER BOSTON AREA WILL INTENSIFY AS CONVECTION ENTERS RI AND
SOUTHEAST MA. THUS GREATEST IMPACT TO RI AND SOUTHEAST MA
TERMINALS. HAZARDS INCLUDE TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS AND GUSTY WINDS.
SHOWERS/T-STORMS FADE AFTER 00Z. DRY WEATHER LATER THIS EVENING
AND OVERNIGHT INTO THU MORNING. THEN ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS
LIKELY LATE THU INTO THU NIGHT FROM WEST TO EAST.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...

FRIDAY-SATURDAY-SUNDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR. PATCHY
MVFR/IFR IN FOG EACH EARLY MORNING. CIGS/VSBYS MAY LOWER TO MVFR IN
SHOWERS/TSTMS SUNDAY NIGHT.
