Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
341 PM EDT THU AUG 11 2016

.SYNOPSIS...

 - Updates to near and short term forecast portions only...

Excessive heat and humidity will affect much of the region today,
Friday, and possibly Saturday before it turns a little cooler. A
few showers or thunderstorms are possible today and Friday, mainly
in western New England. Rounds of showers and thunderstorms with
locally heavy, much needed rainfall, are likely over the weekend.

&&

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

345 pm update...

With the heat and humidity across the region, instability has
built substantially. Focused especially in those areas with robust
available sub-tropical moisture, mainly S/W portions of New England
encompassing CT, RI, and S/W MA when you evaluate precipitable
waters from SPC mesoanalysis. Continued focus on H925-7 Q-vector
convergence coupled with diurnal heating able to break any cap
aloft around H85 across the region. Little mid to upper level
support, so still believe most activity will mainly consist of
heavy rain, absent of lightning, but as we have already seen
today, some of the storms take on an environment of their own and
blossom considerably. Trends continue the next few hours then go
downward as we progress into evening, in thinking. Continued heavy
rain wording and monitoring storms closely with their slower
motion potentially posing an urban and poor-drainage flooding.

Tonight...

Humidity the main story. Increasing SW flow per an isallobaric
response ahead of synoptics emerging out of the Great Lakes
Region. Dewpoints maintaining in the low to mid 70s overnight as
temperatures fall to values just a few degrees above. Monitoring
closely dewpoint values observed during max heating earlier today.
Looking for cross-over thresholds. In all, low clouds and dense
fog appear to be an issue, in combination when looking at ensemble
probabalistic guidance, over the Cape and Islands and perhaps
within sheltered valleys within the CT River Valley. Could see
areas of fog with visibilities down to a mile in places. Perhaps a
repeat of Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

Otherwise, shower and thunderstorm activity. Thinking that activity
weakens S/E though maintains given continued low level signals of
Q-vector convergence coupled with a low level inflow of sub-tropical
air. It's possible that activity maintains towards sunrise and
have trended this accordingly with chance PoPs in the forecast grids.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...

Friday into Friday Night...

 - Heat advisories for much of S New England
 - Showers and thunderstorms possible late in the day

First off, heat rebuilds as humidity maintains. Expect a near-
repeat of heat index values across S New England. Rather than
getting cute with the hazard, evaluated it from a lay-persons
perspective. While some areas may not heat advisory-level
criteria, felt the successive day of heat and humidity warranted
the advisory to be posted over the same area as it was today.

Secondly, expected later-half of the day shower and thunderstorm
impacts. Strong mid-level impulse traversing W to E through the H5
quasi-zonal flow. Main show is over Northern NE CONUS with strong
low to mid level convergence, nearly deep-layer forcing, and decent
venting aloft. This along an accompanying surface cold front.
Thinking is that given the instability and environment that some
diurnally / orographically driven scattered activity develops
initially across S New England around midday into afternoon.
Otherwise expect upstream activity along a cold front over Upstate
NY and N New England to develop around midday and move S/E into S
New England towards evening.

Main concern is heavy rain given the abundance of moisture and the
parallel flow to the front. There is the possibility of some training
storms over one particular area with the W to E flow parallel with
the anticipated cold frontal boundary. NCAR ensembles exhibit decent
probabilistics when it comes to rainfall in a short period of
time. Not entirely confidence on one particular area, but
something to watch. Low confidence at this time to handle with any
headlines so will go with a mention in the Hazardous Weather
Outlook.

As to the evening and overnight period, anticipating activity to
remain ongoing, pushing S/E with the mean-layer flow, fueled from
the SW by sub-tropical moisture. More interestingly are the
indications of a back-door cold front dropping in towards morning
seemingly in response to mid-level energy traversing across the
region W to E and an isallobaric response. Low confidence at this
time and these sort of situations are tricky to pin down. A big
wrench in the forecast for the overnight period.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

HIGHLIGHTS...

* Heat headlines and diurnal thunderstorms are possible for Saturday

* Potential for rounds of showers and thunderstorms with heavy
  rainfall and a localized urban flood threat Sun into Mon

* Lingering front could keep shower potential around into the mid-
  week

OVERVIEW...

The 00z guidance is overall in agreement through the period with
issues at the meso scale level. Bermuda high over the Mid-Atlantic
will result in tropical moisture streaming into the region. This
anomalous moisture will interact with a stationary front over the
region which could result in the potential threat for heavy
rainfall. The specifics of exact location and timing/duration of
heavy rainfall will be determined by smaller scale details which
have a low predictability at this time. Right now appears that the
highest confidence is Sunday into Monday. The front will move just
offshore by Monday/Tuesday but with the potential for a few more
waves during the mid-week could still see a chance for precip.
Lastly with extensive precipitation and cloud cover will also result
in several days of above average min temperatures with the threat to
break records Friday night.

DETAILS...

Friday Night into Saturday...Moderate Confidence.

Any convection will begin to wane by Friday evening but moisture
plume will continue to remain over the region. Cannot rule out a few
isolated showers during the overnight hours. Temperatures overnight
will struggle to drop below 75 across urban regions. These warm
temps will make a run at record min highs.

Stationary front north of the region will have a low pressure system
ride along it on Saturday. This will keep SNE in a warm/moist
airmass. As weak shortwave approaches, could see diurnal showers and
thunderstorms develop. A few strong storms are possible as CAPE
values reach above 1000 j/kg with 20 kts of 0-6 km shear. However
lapse rates are still not impressive and with 850 mb temps
indicating 20+C, the region could be capped resulting in just an
isolated strong storm.  Regardless will keep chc pop for the region
until guidance can resolve meso-scale issues. Main threat with any
strong storm will be heavy rain.

The heat will be on for Saturday with high temps making another run
into the 90s. These type of temps combined with high humidity will
result in heat index values between 95-105F. Heat headlines may be
needed. Saturday temps are tricky as the GFS and NAM continue to
show northeast flow across the Merrimack valley including Boston.
The EC however keeps the flow more southerly, so continued with a
blend in the guidance until this spread can get resolved.

Sunday into Monday...Moderate Confidence.

Stationary front north of the region will begin to sag southward
during this period. Guidance continues to show a potent shortwave
moving in from the west. This could result in a more widespread
threat for showers and thunderstorms. Heavy rain potential seems
likely as PWAT are 3 to 4 STD above normal. Because of this
anomalous amount of moisture, could see more of a flash flooding
concern esp across urban regions. Highest confidence is during
Sunday into Sunday night. Still a lot of timing issue as the GFS
brings the front through about 12 hours faster than the EC. Because
of the difference continued with a blend in the guidance.

Temperatures will also be a bit cooler on Sunday and moreso on
Monday. However dewpoints will still be high esp across areas south
for the sagging front. Not anticipating heat headlines at this
times.

Tuesday and beyond...Low Confidence.

Appears that the front will sag south of the region by Tuesday and
lingering into Wednesday. Another wave of low pressure will move
along the front around Wednesday which could bring precip to areas
south of the Pike. Temperature and humidity levels will be more
average if the region stays north of the front.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

Forecaster Confidence Levels.

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

Short Term /through Friday Night/...

Rest of Today...High confidence.
SHRA/TSRA over S/W MA, CT, RI into early evening with TEMPO MVFR-
IFR conditions. IFR-LIFR lingers over the Cape and Islands, making
a return into the evening hours.

Tonight...Moderate confidence.
SHRA/TSRA activity dissipates. SW winds on the increase. Confidence
of patchy fog conditions in the sheltered areas of the CT Valley
especially wherever RA may have occurred earlier. Areas of fog and
low clouds impacting the Cape and Islands, thinking developing
during the evening period and persisting into Friday morning. Low
confidence on specifics.

Friday...Moderate confidence.
MVFR-LIFR may linger over the Cape and Islands. Attention shifts
across the interior as SHRA/TSRA are expected over Upstate NY into
N New England around midday shifting S/E into S New England into
the later-half of the day. TEMPO MVFR-IFR possible with any wx. SW
winds continue.

Friday night...Moderate confidence.
SHRA/TSRA may linger into the evening period but expect activity
to diminish around midnight. Low-end VFR conditions lingering with
the possibility of MVFR-LIFR down towards the Cape and Islands.

KBOS Terminal...Moderate confidence. Will hold SW winds throughout
and keep RA/TSRA out of the terminal.

KBDL Terminal...Moderate confidence. SCT SHRA/TSRA around the
terminal through the early evening hours.

Outlook /Saturday through Tuesday/...

Moderate confidence in exact timing but high confidence that
there will be cigs and vsbys restrictions. The main issue will be
rounds of scattered showers and thunderstorms Friday night into
Monday. Also, low clouds and fog patches expected at times during
the overnight at early morning hours.

&&

.MARINE...

Forecaster Confidence Levels.

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

Short Term /through Friday Night/...High confidence.

Increasing SW flow ahead of an area of disturbed weather for late
Friday into Friday night. Will see gusts up to around 25 kts
lending to stress over the waters generating waves up to 5 feet.
Small craft advisories posted accordingly.

Moderate confidence at this time that some shower and thunderstorm
activity will impact the waters overnight tonight, but a dissipating
trend is anticipated. Greater confidence of wet-weather impacts
is forecasted for the Friday night into Saturday morning timeframe.
It is during both these periods that there will also be the
accompanying possibility of dense fog at times with visibilities
significantly reduced, possible down to a mile or less.

Outlook /Saturday through Tuesday/...

Moderate confidence in trends with low confidence on exact timing.
Stationary front on Saturday will slowly sag southward into
Monday. Southerly wind direction will dominate but this will all
depend on where the front stalls. Wave heights will build thanks to
persist southerly flow, resulting in SCA headlines. Other
concerns for mariners will be areas of fog along with showers and
thunderstorms at times.
