AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
130 AM EDT WED APR 20 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...
BRINGING DRY AND MILD CONDITIONS. A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE
REGION EARLY FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE MOVES
ACROSS LATER SATURDAY...FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER FAST MOVING FRONT LATE
THIS WEEKEND. DRY BUT CHILLY CONDITIONS PUSH IN EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...

130 AM UPDATE...

MAINLY CLEAR SKIES VERY EARLY THIS MORNING...EXCEPT FOR A BATCH OF
MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS ACROSS THE CAPE/NANTUCKET.  WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED IF THERE WERE EVEN A FEW SPRINKLES ACROSS THE
CAPE/ISLANDS...BUT NOTHING MORE THAN THAT AND MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS
SHOULD BREAK UP TOWARD DAYBREAK.

OTHERWISE...WINDS WILL INCREASE SOME ALONG THE COAST OVER THE NEXT
FEW HOURS UNDER A REINFORCING SHOT OF COOLER AIR.  LOW TEMPS BY
DAYBREAK WILL MAINLY BE IN THE 30S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE THE DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE DURING THIS
PORTION OF THE FORECAST. ALTHOUGH THE CORE OF THIS HIGH PRESSURE
WILL STAY JUST TO OUR WEST AS IT SHIFTS SOUTH TO THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST. SYNOPTIC WINDS DIMINISH DURING THE MORNING HOURS...WHICH
WILL PERMIT THE FORMATION OF LOCAL SEABREEZES FROM LATE MORNING
INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES EXPECTED THROUGH THIS PORTION OF THE
FORECAST...AS WELL. THE FROST/FREEZE WARNING PROGRAM OFFICIALLY
STARTS FOR A PORTION OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND APRIL 21. WE MAY NEED
TO CONSIDER FROST ADVISORIES IF RADIATIONAL COOLING IS STRONGER
THAN CURRENTLY THOUGHT. AT THIS TIME...ONLY EXPECTING FROST IN
AREAS WHERE THE FROST/FREEZE WARNING PROGRAM WOULD BEGIN MAY 11.

&&

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

 * SHOWERS THU NIGHT INTO FRI NIGHT WITH SOME T-STORMS POSSIBLE.
 * COOLER BUT DRY WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND.

OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCES...

THREE MEANDERING UPPER LVL CUTOFFS ARE THE DOMINANT FEATURES TO
WATCH INTO THE MID AND LONG-TERMS. THIS ARE SLOW MOVING WITHIN A
WEAKLY NEGATIVE AO/NAO THANKS TO GREENLAND BLOCKING AND POSITIVE
PNA. THE OFFSHORE CUTOFF...WHICH HAS BEEN NEARLY STATIONARY FOR A
WEEK FINALLY GETS A PUSH THANKS TO THE WEAK CUTOFF WHICH WAS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SNOWFALL IN THE ROCKIES. THIS IS A SRN STREAM
CUTOFF WHICH WILL PHASE SOMEWHAT WITH AN ARCTIC CUTOFF DIGGING S
FROM HUDSON BAY LATE IN THE WEEK. THE RESULTANT FEATURE WILL BRING
ABOUT A SFC LOW PRES SYSTEM MOVING INTO NRN NEW ENGLAND
FRI..ALLOWING BOTH A WEAK WARM...AND COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE WITH
RAINFALL. BY THE WEEKEND...ALTHOUGH FAST CYCLONICALLY CURVED FLOW
REMAINS IN PLACE...THE AIRMASS IS DRY PER A LOOK AT RECENT BUFKIT
DATA...SO WILL FEATURE A GENERALLY COOLER /ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO
THIS PAST WEEKEND/ BUT DRY FORECAST. TIMING OF SECONDARY FRONT
EARLY NEXT WEEK WILL BE DIFFICULT GIVEN IT PARALLELS STEERING
FLOW...BUT A BLEND OF ENSEMBLES SHOULD AT LEAST PROVIDE A DECENT
START. FOR THE FRIDAY SYSTEM...WILL LEAN ON THE SLOWER ECMWF GIVEN
THE PHASING...BUT WITH SOME DEFERENCE TO THE LATEST GFS WHICH IS
ITSELF SLOWER THAN IT/S PREVIOUS RUNS.

DETAILS...

THU...
THE LAST VESTIGES OF HIGH PRES SHIFTS E OF THE REGION. DRY WX
WILL PREVAIL...BUT WITH H85 TEMPS NEARING +7C...EXPECT A RATHER
WARM DAY IN PLACE AS RETURN FLOW DEVELOPS. LOOKING AT WIDESPREAD
UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S WITH A FEW PLACES POSSIBLY REACHING MID 70.

THU NIGHT INTO SAT NIGHT...
WEAK WARM FRONT SHIFTS INTO NRN NEW ENGLAND WITH LOW PRES
TRACKING SHORTLY BEHIND IT EARLY IN THE DAY ON FRI. INITIAL WARM
SECTOR PRECIP APPROACHES THE DURING THE OVERNIGHT AS LEFT-OVER
ELEVATED CONVECTIVE SHOWERS WHICH ARE LIKELY TO DISSIPATE AS IT
MOVES E. OVERNIGHT QPF WILL REFLECT THIS...BEING HIGHER IN WRN
MA/CT THAN ERN MA AND RI.

FRI...THE MAIN ISSUE WILL BE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL NOTING K-VALES
ABOVE 30 AND PWATS ABOUT 1.25-1.5 INCHES OR NEARLY 2 STD
DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL. THIS WILL BE WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR AHEAD
OF A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE TIMED FOR MID-LATE AFTERNOON IN THE W.
ML CAPE VALUES ALREADY SHOWING 500-1000J/KG ALONG WITH 50-55 TT
VALUES SUGGESTS SOME T-STORMS ARE POSSIBLE. LAPSE-RATES ARE MODEST
BETWEEN 6.0-6.5C/KM BUT OVERALL CAPE PROFILES ARE QUITE SKINNY
WITH VERY LOW NORMALIZED CAPE VALUES. THEREFORE...EXPECT THE
PRIMARY ISSUE WITH ANY T-STORMS TO BE HEAVY RAINFALL GIVEN THE
HIGH PWATS. THESE TRANSITION TO SHOWERS WITH THE FINAL FRONTAL
PASSAGE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

SAT AND SUN...
COOLER CANADIAN HIGH PRES GRADUALLY SHIFTS OUT OF QUEBEC AND
ACROSS THE REGION. DRY WX PREVAILS. SAT TEMPS NEAR OR SLIGHTLY
ABOVE NORMAL AS COLDER AIR MOVES HOLDS UNTIL SUN. BY SUN EXPECT
TEMPS MAINLY NEAR OR BELOW NORMAL. IN FACT...MAY NEED TO MONITOR
FOR FROST HEADLINES SUN MORNING AND AGAIN SUN NIGHT INTO MON
MORNING.

MON INTO TUE...
LOWER CONFIDENCE IN TIMING OF ANY PRECIPITATION FOR THIS PERIOD.
PRIMARY ISSUE IS A SLOW MOVING FRONT WHICH WILL LIE PARALLEL TO
THE UPPER LVL CYCLONICALLY CURVED FLOW. WHILE MID LVL F-GEN ALONG
THE FRONT IS STRONG ENOUGH TO FEATURE SOME
PRECIPITATION...EXACTLY WHERE THE FRONT STALLS AND WHETHER A
FRONTAL WAVE CAN TRAVERSE REMAIN A QUESTION. WILL FEATURE A SHIFT
BACK TO SLIGHT OR CHANCE POPS AND AWAY FROM THE NIL POPS FOR THE
WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS.  SOUTHWEST
WIND GUSTS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS DEVELOP THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.  NNW WIND GUSTS SHIFTS TO THE NE
LATER THIS MORNING AND THEN EAST THIS AFTERNOON.  AS FOR

BREEZE AT LEAST FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE DAY.

KBDL TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

OUTLOOK /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...MODERATE TO HIGH
CONFIDENCE...

OUTLOOK /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...MODERATE TO HIGH

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...

TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE. A SECONDARY COLD FRONT
SHOULD GENERATE A PERIOD OF NORTHERLY WIND GUSTS OF 20 TO 30 KNOTS
LATE TONIGHT INTO THE FIRST PART OF WEDNESDAY. SEAS WILL ALSO
BUILD TO BETWEEN 5 AND 8 FEET ACROSS OUR EASTERN OUTER WATERS.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES CONTINUE.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WINDS AND SEAS DIMINISH AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES
TO THE MID ATLANTIC COAST.

OUTLOOK /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...

THU...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
WSW WINDS MAY GUST TO AROUND 25 KT NEAR SHORE...BUT OTHERWISE
WINDS BELOW CRITERIA. SEAS APPROACH 5 FT.

THU NIGHT INTO FRI...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
ALTHOUGH WINDS REMAIN GENERALLY BELOW 25 KT...SOME LINGERING SEAS
NEAR 5 FT MAY REQUIRE A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY ON THE OCEAN WATERS.

SAT AND SUN...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
WIND GUSTS SHIFT TO THE N AND GUSTS 25 KT POSSIBLE AT
TIMES...SEAS REACH 5-6FT AS WELL. SMALL CRAFTS MAY BE NEEDED.

&&

ANOTHER DAY OF ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED AND
FURTHER COORDINATION WITH OUR FIRE MANAGERS HAS TAKEN PLACE.
WINDS WILL NOT BE AS STRONG AND TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES LOWER.

THURSDAY...
THE RISK FOR ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER LINGERS INTO THU. W-SW WINDS
REACH 20-30 MPH ESPECIALLY ACROSS CT/RI AND SE MA. MEANWHILE
INTERIOR RI/MA/CT MAY SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF TEMPS IN THE 70S WITH
MIN RH VALUES 15-25 PERCENT. THIS MAY BE ONE OF THE HIGHER RISK
DAYS THIS WEEK.

FRIDAY...
DEWPOINTS WILL INCREASE AS SOUTHWEST WINDS BRING IN MOISTURE AS
WELL AS SCATTERED SHOWERS AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES CLOSER TO THE
REGION. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN MILD...RUNNING AROUND 70 ACROSS
INLAND AREAS...MINIMUM RH VALUES WILL RUN FROM 45 TO 65 PERCENT
ACROSS MOST AREAS EXCEPT HIGHER ACROSS THE OUTER CAPE AND
ISLANDS. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO
THE EVENING AS THE COLD FRONT SLOWLY PUSHES ACROSS THE REGION.
