AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
424 AM EDT WED APR 6 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST OF OUR REGION TODAY...WHICH WILL ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO MODERATE TODAY AND ESPECIALLY THURSDAY. WHILE IT
WILL REMAIN DRY DURING TODAY...ABUNDANT RAINFALL IS EXPECTED
THURSDAY AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. UPPER LEVEL LOW
PRESSURE WILL REMAIN NEAR NEW ENGLAND THROUGH THIS WEEKEND...
KEEPING CONDITIONS UNSETTLED AND COOL. WILL HAVE TO WATCH A
DEVELOPING COASTAL STORM SATURDAY/SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN
BRIEFLY MONDAY...BUT ANOTHER SYSTEM LOOKS TO MOVE IN ON TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE MOVING OFF THE COAST THIS MORNING AS LOW
PRESSURE MOVES TOWARDS THE GREAT LAKES. THE RESULT WILL BE AN
INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW. WHILE SLIGHTLY HIGHER TEMPERATURES ARE
EXPECTED...THEY WILL STILL BE BELOW NORMAL. WHILE THE DAY WILL
START OFF PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY...SKIES WILL TREND TOWARDS MOSTLY
CLOUDY THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON IN THE WARM ADVECTION PATTERN. IT
WILL REMAIN DRY FOR MOST TODAY...OTHER THAN A LOW RISK FOR A SPOT
SHOWER TOWARD EVENING ACROSS NORTHWEST MA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...

TONIGHT...

LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES WILL LIFT NORTHEAST INTO
EASTERN CANADA. THE RESULT WILL BE AN INCREASING LOW LEVEL JET ON
THE ORDER OF 50 TO 60 KNOTS. THE WARM ADVECTION PATTERN WILL ALLOW
SCATTERED SHOWERS TO DEVELOP...PARTICULARLY TOWARD DAYBREAK
THURSDAY. LOW RISK FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW/SLEET ACROSS
THE INTERIOR AT THE START. EVEN IF THIS OCCURS WILL HAVE LITTLE
IMPACT. TEMPERATURES MAY DROP A FEW DEGREES EARLY THIS EVENING...
BUT SHOULD RISE AFTER MIDNIGHT.

THURSDAY...

A POTENT LOW PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY
THURSDAY. HOWEVER...06/00Z GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUGGEST SECONDARY
CYCLOGENESIS CLOSER TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND DURING THE DAY. WITH
GOOD SYNOPTIC DYNAMICS IN PLACE...WE SHOULD SEE ABUNDANT
RAINFALL...ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

LATEST GUIDANCE STILL HINTING AT POSSIBLE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS.
WHILE THERE IS SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY...IT IS NOT VERY STRONG.
STRONG LOW LEVEL JET MAY SHEAR OUT ANY CONVECTION UNLESS THE
INSTABILITY INTENSIFIES. WITH THE CONSISTENT SIGNAL...DECIDED TO
INCLUDE A MENTION OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS.

PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REMAIN AROUND AN INCH. PLENTY OF
CONVERGENCE FROM A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET TO BOOT. EXPECTING MOST
LOCATIONS IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TO SEE 0.75-1.00 INCHES OF RAIN
DURING THE DAY THURSDAY. STORM TOTAL AMOUNTS SHOULD BE HIGHER THAN
THAT. THE COMBINATION OF THAT AMOUNT OF RAIN...ALONG WITH THE
MELTING SNOW...COULD LEAD TO LOCALIZED URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE
FLOODING.

ALSO EXPECTING GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING FRONT THU AFTERNOON/EVENING. HEAVY RAINFALL MAY DRAG
SOME OF THE STRONGER WINDS DOWN TO THE GROUND...MAINLY ACROSS
CENTRAL AND EASTERN AREAS.

&&

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

* WET WEATHER CONTINUES INTO FRIDAY WITH BELOW AVG TEMPS
* POTENTIAL COASTAL LOW SAT/SUN COULD BRING MORE APRIL SNOW TO SNE
* WELL BELOW AVERAGE TEMPS FOR THE WEEKEND
* A BREAK IN THE ACTION ON MON/TUESDAY WITH MODERATING TEMPS

OVERVIEW...

BOTH 00Z DETERMINISTIC AND ENSEMBLES INDICATE AN ACTIVE WEATHER
PATTERN CONTINUING INTO THE WEEKEND WITH A BRIEF BREAK EARLY NEXT
WEEK. ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SIGNAL THE 500 MB HEIGHTS WILL
BE 2 TO 3 SD BELOW NORMAL FOR THE PERIOD...LIMITING ANY
SPRING/SUMMER LIKE WEATHER AND TEMPS FOR NEW ENGLAND. MODELS ARE
BECOMING MORE PERSISTENT IN DEVELOPING STRONG BLOCKING. FIRST IS THE
ERN PACIFIC WITH A STOUT RIDGE AND SECOND...A STRONG OMEGA BLOCK
SETTING UP ACROSS THE ATLANTIC WITH VERY IMPRESSIVE RIDGE NOSING
POLEWARD INTO GREENLAND BY THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL KEEP NEW ENGLAND
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF TROUGHING AND SEVERAL CLOSED LOWS ROTATING
AROUND THEMSELVES INTO THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER BY SUNDAY...UPPER LEVEL
HEIGHTS WILL BEGIN TO RISE AS A CUT OFF LOW FORMS IN THE SOUTHWEST.
THIS APPEARS TO BE SHORT LIVED AS ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH FORMS
OVER THE NORTHEAST BY TUES/WED. OVERALL ANTICIPATE A PERIOD OF
ACTIVE WEATHER AND NEAR OR BELOW SEASONABLE TEMPS THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. THEN A BRIEF BREAK AND MODERATING TEMPS BY SUNDAY/MONDAY.

DAILIES...

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BE OVER THE REGION BY THURSDAY NIGHT AS
SURFACE LOW CONTINUES ITS NORTHWARD TREND TOWARDS SOUTHERN CANADA.
BULK OF THE HEAVY PRECIP SHOULD BE PUSHING OFFSHORE...HOWEVER WITH
SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY STILL HAVE A SLIGHT CHC FOR A RUMBLE OF
THUNDER THURSDAY NIGHT. COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. HOWEVER COULD SEE LINGERING PRECIP ON THE WRAP
AROUND OF THE LOW AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH THE FLOW.

SHOWERY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY. UPPER LEVEL LOW AND ITS
ASSOCIATED SHORTWAVE WILL PUSH TOWARDS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND FRIDAY
INTO SATURDAY. WHILE ANTICIPATE FRIDAY TO BE ON THE DRY...CANNOT
RULE OUT SHOWERY WEATHER THANKS TO COLD CORE LOW ALOFT COMBINED WITH
STEEP LAPSE RATES. INSERTED A CHC OF POPS FOR THIS PERIOD WITH
HIGHEST CONFIDENCE ACROSS THE INTERIOR.

SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE PUSHES CLOSER ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL
DEVELOP OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST AND PAST EAST NEAR SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND AS IT HEADS TOWARDS THE MARITIME. THIS IS SYSTEM IS ONE TO
WATCH AS IT COLD BRING ANOTHER SHOT OF APRIL SNOW TO SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. TRENDED THE FORECAST CLOSER TO THE EC AS IT IS SUPPORTED BY
THE SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE GEFS AND UKMET. THE GFS SEEMS TO BE THE
LEAST ROBUST AND TO FAR OUT TO SEA. REGARDLESS...IF THIS LOW DOES
PASS FARTHER TO THE EAST WE STILL COULD GET INFLUENCED BY THE
INVERTED TROUGH. GUIDANCE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE THE SURFACE LOW
AROUND OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL RUNS SO WILL STAY CLOSE TO THE
ENSEMBLES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAY. RIGHT NOW THIS SYSTEM APPEARS
TO MOVE THROUGH SATURDAY INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. IT MAY START
OFF AS RAIN...BUT ON THE BACKSIDE COLD AIR WILL BE USHERING IN
RESULTING IN A CHANGE OVER TO SNOW BY SAT PM INTO EARLY SUNDAY AM.
STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS SYSTEM AS THE EXACT
STRENGTH...LOCATION AND TIMING OF THE LOW IS STILL IN QUESTION.
SOMETHING TO WATCH IN THE COMING DAY.

REGARDLESS...THIS SYSTEM AND ITS NORTHERLY MOVEMENT WILL RESULT IN
SOME COASTAL FLOODING AS TIDES ARE ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH. TEMPERATURES
THROUGH THIS PERIOD WILL BE BELOW AVERAGE.

SUNDAY INTO TUESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

DEEP TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION ON SUNDAY AND BEGIN TO LIFT
BY MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE TO THE SOUTH TRIES TO BUILD ON SUNDAY AS A
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. APPEARS ANOTHER

INCREASES AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES. EXPECT SOME LLWS AS WELL WITH
STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL JET.

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...

TODAY AND TONIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL JET
AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL RESULT IN SOUTHERLY WIND
GUSTS OF 25 TO 30 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUING INTO
TONIGHT. WINDS MAY BRIEFLY TOUCH GALE FORCE...BUT CONFIDENCE IN
THAT IS NOT HIGH. AFTER COORDINATION WITH SURROUNDING
OFFICES...HAVE POSTED A GALE WATCH FOR MOST OF THE SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND WATERS. TIMING OF THE WATCH WILL VARY...BUT MOST LIKELY TO
SEE THE STRONGER WINDS DURING THE AFTERNOON. CERTAINLY WILL NEED
TO ISSUE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY HEADLINES AT A MINIMUM. WILL NEED TO
WAIT UNTIL CURRENT HEADLINES EXPIRE THIS MORNING FOR SOME OF THE
WATERS.

OUTLOOK /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...

THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...WINDS AND SEAS WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH
AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES AWAY FROM THE WATERS AND WINDS SHIFTS TO
THE WEST. LOW PROB FOR GALES ON FRIDAY DUE TO TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT. OTHERWISE SCA WILL BE NEEDED.

SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY...ANOTHER WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS
THE EASTERN WATERS SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. INCREASED SEAS A
FEW FEET AS WNA GUIDANCE IS UNDERDONE. VSBYS MAY BE RESTRICTED
FROM -RA OR -SN. SCA WILL BE NEEDED WITH A LOW PROB OF GALES BY
SAT NIGHT/SUN.

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...

HIGH ASTRO TIDES AND A STRONG SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET WILL LIKELY
RESULT IN A 1 TO 2 FOOT STORM SURGE ALONG THE SOUTH COAST. TIMING
REMAINS UNCERTAIN...BUT WILL HAVE TO WATCH BOTH THE MORNING AND
EVENING HIGH TIDES FOR A DECENT SHOT AT A ROUND OR TWO OF MINOR
COASTAL FLOODING. HOWEVER...WINDS DO NOT APPEAR TO BE STRONG
ENOUGH FOR A SIGNIFICANT COASTAL FLOOD EVENT.

THIS WEEKEND...

WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE TRACK AND STRENGTH OF A DEVELOPING
OCEAN STORM SAT INTO SUN. BOSTON HAS A VERY HIGH ASTRO TIDE OF
12.2 FEET AROUND 2 AM SUNDAY MORNING...SO ANY EASTERLY COMPONET OF
THE WIND WILL RESULT IN MINOR COASTAL FLOODING. HOWEVER...A
STRONGER STORM CLOSER TO THE COAST IS STILL A POSSIBILITY AND THAT
WOULD BRING A MORE SIGNIFICANT COASTAL FLOOD THREAT. WILL HAVE TO
WATCH THIS CLOSELY.
