Area forecast discussion, Aug 3, 4:21 PM EDT, 1 hour 23 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
421 PM EDT MON AUG 3 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
PERSISTENT LOW PRESSURE ALOFT...SITUATED OVER QUEBEC...WILL BRING
THE THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO TUESDAY. A FEW
STORMS COULD BE SEVERE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH ANOTHER
ROUND OF STRONGER STORMS POSSIBLE TUESDAY AFTERNOON. COOLER AIR
MOVES IN FOR THE MID TO LATE WEEK PERIOD...AND IT WILL BE MAINLY
DRY...ALTHOUGH SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAINS
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

&&
20Z UPDATE...
QUICK UPDATE TO EXTEND SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH INTO CHESHIRE AND
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTIES IN NEW HAMPSHIRE UNTIL 9 PM. HAVE ALSO
ADJUSTED CURRENT POPS AND WEATHER BASED ON CURRENT RADAR TRENDS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
PRE-FRONTAL TROF/DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARY HAS HELPED
INITIATE A BROKEN LINE OF TSTMS ACROSS WRN NEW ENGLAND. TEMPS
REACHING THE UPPER 80S/LOW 90S...AND DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER
60S IS YIELDING CAPE VALUES ON THE ORDER OF 1000 TO 1500 J/KG.
SHEAR IS MORE THAN ADEQUATE FOR STORM ORGANIZATION...AND
STRENGTHENING MID LEVEL WINDS...EVIDENCED BY KCXX VWP OF 50 KTS IN
THE MID LEVELS...WILL RESULT IN PRIMARILY A WIND DAMAGE THREAT.
HOWEVER...AS CELLS REMAIN SOMEWHAT ISOLATED EARLY IN THEIR
DEVELOPMENT...LARGE HAIL IS POSSIBLE.

STRONG ONSHORE FLOW OVER MUCH OF WRN ME HAS RESULTED IN A MORE
STABLE ATMOSPHERIC PROFILE...AND YOU CAN SEE THIS FROM A LACK OF
CU ACROSS MUCH OF THE COASTAL PART OF THE FORECAST AREA. EXPECT
ANY SEVERE THREAT TO BE CONFINED TO NW OF THIS AREA.

THAT BEING SAID...DESPITE DEVELOPING INVERSION
OVERNIGHT...INSTABILITY REMAINS MODEST ALOFT. THIS SHOULD ALLOW
ANY CONVECTION TO CONTINUE WITH THUNDER WELL AFTER 00Z AND INTO
THE MORNING HOURS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
TUE FORECAST REVOLVES AROUND THE DEGREE OF CLEARING/RECOVERY THE
FORECAST AREA SEES AFTER ANY MORNING PCPN. CONVECTION ALLOWING
MODELS INDICATE THAT A COMPLEX OF SHOWERS/STORMS MOVES ACROSS
PORTIONS OF NEW ENGLAND OVERNIGHT...WHICH COULD DELAY HEATING TUE
IF CLOUD COVER IS EXTENSIVE. COLD FRONT WILL STILL BE PROGRESSING
THRU THE AREA...SO FORCING WILL EXIST FOR MORE AFTERNOON STORMS TO
DEVELOP. SHEAR WILL BE ADEQUATE ONCE AGAIN FOR STORM
ORGANIZATION...WITH HAIL/WIND ONCE AGAIN THE THREAT. FOR NOW THE
UNCERTAINTIES THAT EXIST REGARDING RECOVERY WILL PRECLUDE SEVERE
WORDING...SO WILL MAINTAIN SMALL HAIL/GUSTY WINDS IN THE GRIDS.

COLD FRONT CLEARS THE AREA OVERNIGHT TUE...BRINGING COOLER AND
DRIER AIR BACK TO THE REGION...THOUGH SHOWERS WILL REMAIN A
POSSIBILITY IN CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT ON THE LONG WAVE PATTERN
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. GENERAL MEAN TROUGHING WILL BE IN PLACE
ACROSS THE NEW ENGLAND THROUGH MUCH OF THE EXTENDED
PERIOD...KEEPING ANY EXCESSIVE HEAT AT BAY. ALSO...LITTLE IMPULSES
MOVING THROUGH THE MEAN THROUGH MAY ALLOW FOR SCT SHOWER AND ISOLD
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT FROM TIME TO TIME. THE FIRST
IMPULSE...AND PERHAPS THE STRONGEST WILL MOVE THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY
WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS...PERHAPS LIKELY ACROSS THE INTERIOR
MOUNTAINS. COLD AIR ALOFT MAY ALLOW FOR ISOLD THUNDER. THE NEXT
FORECAST CHALLENGE WITH BE WITH LOW PRESSURE MOVING JUST SOUTH OF
NEW ENGLAND AT THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. VARIOUS
MODELS HAVE VARIOUS DEGREES OF AMPLIFICATION. THE ULTIMATE DEGREE
OF AMPLIFICATION WILL DETERMINE HOW MUCH RAIN MOVES INTO OUR AREA.
FOR NOW...HAVE KEPT POPS MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHERNMOST ZONES BUT WILL
CONTINUE TO WATCH TRENDS.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHORT TERM...VFR CONDITIONS WILL GENERALLY PREVAIL THRU TUE.
EXCEPTIONS WILL BE RKD...WHERE COASTAL FOG/STRATUS WILL
LINGER/REDEVELOP OVERNIGHT. EXPECT IFR AND LOWER CONDITIONS THRU
MORNING. OTHERWISE...LEB AND HIE HAVE THE GREATEST CHANCE FOR TSRA
THIS EVENING. IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN ANY TSRA...ALONG
WITH STRONG WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL.

AFTERNOON TUE TSRA THREAT MOVES TO THE COASTAL AREAS...WHERE GUSTY
WINDS AND SMALL HAIL IS POSSIBLE. COVERAGE WILL BE MORE SCATTERED
THAN WIDESPREAD.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...OCCASIONAL MVFR CONDITIONS
IN SHOWERS POSSIBLE ON WEDNESDAY IN SHOWERS WITH NEXT COLD
FRONT...WITH THE BEST BET IN THE MOUNTAINS. VFR LOOKS TO BE THE
MOST LIKELY OUTCOME AT THIS TIME FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY FOR MOST
AREAS. SOME MVFR CONDITIONS MAY SNEAK INTO SOUTHERN NH LATE FRIDAY
OR FRIDAY NIGHT IN RAIN.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...PERSISTENT SSW FLOW AHEAD OF SLOWLY APPROACHING COLD
FRONT WILL KEEP WINDS AND SEAS NEAR SCA THRESHOLDS THRU TUE. SEAS
WILL REACH 5 FT ON THE OUTER WATERS TONIGHT...AND SCA IS IN EFFECT
FOR THIS TIME PERIOD. WINDS PROBABLY WON/T CONSISTENTLY GUST TO 25
KTS...BUT ENOUGH OF A CHANCE THERE TO INCLUDE IN THE ADVISORY.

LONG TERM...SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP LATER FRIDAY OR
OVER THE WEEKEND IN ASSOCIATION WITH LOW PRESSURE THAT IS
CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO MOVE TO THE SOUTH OF OUR WATERS.

.GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
