Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
337 PM EDT Sat Oct 8 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front crosses Southern New England late tonight. Rain may
linger across Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts through
much of the day. High pressure then builds over the region with
dry weather and seasonable temperatures through most of next week.
The exception to that will be Thursday, when a cold front should
cross our region.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
10am update...
Noting based on recent OBs and satellite imagery that the bulk of
the fog is burning off as of 9:30, therefore will be letting the
special statement go by 10 AM. Otherwise, temps and dwpts starting
cooler than previously forecast due to this fog, so adjusted
temps/dwpts through the day to account for this change. Still
think some areas, especially across the E will see the low 70s
before days end.

Previous discussion...

Areas of fog in place early this morning in the CT River Valley
and other usual fog spots. Expect this to linger through an hour
or two after sunrise but trend toward dissipating during the
morning.

High pressure that brought dry weather mid and late week is now
shifting offshore past Nova Scotia. Still sufficient subsidence
and dry low level air to maintain dry weather through early
afternoon. Great Lakes shortwave supports the surface cold front.
This shortwave shifts east with its associated jet moving up the
St Lawrence River. This will put Southern New England under the
right entrance region by late in the day or evening.

Also note on the GFS and ECMWF a surge of higher cloud-level RH
moving up the coast late in the day. This is likely moisture from
Matthew drawn north by the approaching Great Lakes shortwave. This
may provide enough moisture to overcome the dry air and allow some
showers. We will show low- end chance pops in our
western/southwestern areas late in the day.

Sunshine through increasing high clouds should allow some daytime
heating. Mixing will be more shallow than previous days, but tap
temps at 950-925 mb with potential for max sfc temps 65-70.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Tomorrow...
Frontal boundary stalls at or near the S coast early in the day
and with flow on it's leading edge providing a stacked conduit for
moisture streaming off of Matthew to the S. This will allow PWATs
to increase to nearly 2 std deviations above normal mainly across
E CT/RI and SE MA which will likely remain stuck in clouds and
steady rainfall through the day. The slow movement and increasing
moisture is likely to linger more of the day than previously
forecast.

Areas of mod-heavy RA possible especially S of the front wherever
it ultimately stalls thanks to increased LLJ. Therefore areas most
SE of the front could reach 0.75-2.00 inches (Cape/Islands most
likely), with 0.5-1.0 possible along interior SE MA and RI with
lesser amounts further NW. In fact some areas N of a IJD- OWD-BVY
line may see little to no additional rainfall through the day as
dry N-NW flow trickles in.

Temps cooler than today, as highs will only reach the upper 50s to
low-mid 60s thanks to some cooler air building in from the NW.

Tomorrow night...
Front moves offshore through the overnight, shunting Matthew back
S and pushing the moisture plume offshore. Expect rainfall to end
all locations by sunrise Monday. Mins not as cool as they could be
given it will take some time for clouds to ultimately clear.
Expecting lows mainly in the upper 30s to low 40s.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Highlights...

* High pressure results in dry weather for much of this period
* Temperatures will be cool Monday, then warm back to seasonable
  levels
* A cold front Thursday may result in scattered showers

The latest guidance continues to advertise a prolonged period of
quiet weather for southern New England. High pressure extends
southwest from the Maritimes early next week.

A low pressure moving through Quebec will bring a cold front
through the region Wednesday night into Thursday, bringing a
possibility of a few showers, though it looks mainly dry for most
due to lack of moisture. Will keep higher rainfall chances toward
the coast where the ocean could supply what this cold front did
not bring with it.

Another high pressure moves in from the west Friday into Saturday.

Temperatures will be cooler than normal Monday, but then rebound to
seasonable or even above normal levels through Thursday.  Another
cold front moving through Thursday will drop temperatures on
Friday and Saturday back to near or just below normal.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels.

Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.

Short Term /through Sunday Night/...

Through 00Z...High confidence.
Light southerly winds continue, and will bring in some low clouds
mainly 015-030 from SW-NE. However, areas of E MA/RI should remain
VFR through this time.  Light rain where conditions dip to MVFR.

Tonight into tomorrow...Moderate confidence.
Few SHRA across the interior will gradually move to more
widespread rainfall early Sun morning mainly SE of a line from
IJD-OWD-BOS. Some improvement to VFR north of this line with
mainly MVFR along and SE of the line. Some IFR especially
Cape/Islands. This lingers until late day.

Tomorrow night...High confidence.
Winds shift to N-NW everywhere with improvement to VFR at those
sites not already VFR.

KBOS TAF...High confidence in TAF thru about 00Z...then moderate
confidence as low clouds /IFR-MVFR/ approach from the south and
west.

KBDL TAF...High confidence in TAF thru this evening then
moderate confidence as improvement attempts to occur late
tonight-tomorrow morning.

Outlook /Monday through Thursday/...

Monday through Wednesday...High confidence. VFR.

Thursday...Moderate confidence. Mainly VFR. MVFR possible in
scattered -SHRA.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels.

Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.

Tonight into early tomorrow...High confidence.
Winds gradually increase out of the S-SW through the overnight
hours, reaching 20-30 kt after midnight across the ocean waters.
This will yield building seas as well, reaching 5-7 ft by Sun
morning. Small craft advisories will be staring through the night.

Late tomorrow and tomorrow night...moderate confidence.
Winds shift to the N early but by late afternoon and evening,
increase to 30-40kt especially across the S and SE waters. Gale
watches will be hoisted for this risk. Otherwise, expect strong
small craft conditions elsewhere.

Outlook /Monday through Thursday/...

Moderate confidence. Winds expected to diminish Monday into Monday
night. This will allow seas to subside across most of the waters,
but not all. Rough seas could linger across the outer coastal
waters into Thursday, mainly due to southeast to east swell from
Matthew. Small craft advisories may be necessary for a portion of
this time, particularly on the outer waters.

&&

.BOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CT...None.
MA...None.
RI...None.
MARINE...Gale Watch from Sunday afternoon through Monday morning for
     ANZ232-254>256.
