AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
744 PM EDT SAT APR 9 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND EARLY TONIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BRING DRY BUT COOL CONDITIONS SUNDAY. A WARM FRONT
APPROACHES SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY WITH A WINTRY MIXTURE AT THE
ONSET OF PRECIPITATION BEFORE CHANGING TO ALL RAIN. A COLD FRONT
WILL SLOWLY MOVE THROUGH TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT BRINGING
UNSETTLED CONDITIONS. HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BRING DRY
CONDITIONS TO THE AREA DURING MID TO LATE WEEK...WITH UNCERTAINTY
IN THE FORECAST APPROACHING THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND.

&&

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

730 PM UDPATE...

RADAR AND SURFACE OBS INDICATE NORTHERN EDGE OF PRECIP SHIELD
MAINLY SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND...WITH VIRGA AND PERHAPS SOME VERY
LIGHT -RA/-SN MAKING IT TO THE SURFACE ALONG SOUTEHRN CT/SOUTHERN
RI. CLOUD CEILINGS AT 7 PM ALONG NORTHERN CT/RI/SE MASS WERE
MAINLY STILL AT ALTOSTRATUS LEVELS. AT THIS TIME ANTICIPATING
CLOUD CEILINGS IN THAT AREA TO STILL LOWER...PROVIDING AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR LIGHT PRECIPITATION TO MAKE IT TO THE
SURFACE...HENCE WILL CONTINUE POPS FROM PREV FORECAST. POPS MAINLY
FOR LIGHT SNOW...BUT STILL WARM ENOUGH FOR POSSIBLE VERY LIGHT
RAIN TO START.

UPDATED HOURLY TEMPERATURE/DEWPOINT GRIDS TO REFLECT DELAYED
EVAPORATIVE COOLING NEAR THE SURFACE ALONG CT/SOUTH COASTAL MA AND
RI...AND TEMP DROP FROM ONSHORE BREEZE EAST COASTAL MA. THE
EAST/NE WIND ALONG EAST COASTAL MA EARLY THIS EVENING WILL YIELD
TO A NNW WIND FOR LATE EVENING. FORECAST LOWS AND THE REST OF THE
FORECAST CONTINUE TO LOOK ON TRACK.

430 PM DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

PRECIPITATION WAS APPROACHING THE S COAST AT 4 PM BUT EXPECT
NORTHERN EDGE OF PRECIPITATION SHIELD TO BEGIN TO SHEAR OUT
SHORTLY. HAVE MODESTLY LOWERED SNOW AMOUNTS TO AROUND HALF INCH
CAPE AND ISLANDS AND COATING TO A FEW TENTHS OF AN INCH ALONG THE
RI S COAST AND BUZZARDS BAY SHORE. STILL EXPECT A DEFORMATION AXIS
OF HEAVIER PRECIPITATION TO SET UP PER CONFIGURATION OF MODEL MID
LEVEL HEIGHTS/FLOW BUT THINK IT WILL BE S OF THE ISLANDS. SHOULD
IT SET UP FURTHER NORTH...THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO INCREASE AMOUNTS
ACK AND POSSIBLY MVY AND BID AS WELL.

WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE NNE AND THEN SHIFT TO NNW AFTER
MIDNIGHT BUT REMAIN WELL BELOW ANY HEADLINE CRITERIA. ANTICIPATE
OVERNIGHT GUSTS 30 TO 40 MPH OVER NANTUCKET AND THE OUTER CAPE.

TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY DROP FASTER THIS EVENING ALONG THE SOUTH
COAST DUE TO PRECIPITATION EVAPORATION. EVENTUALLY ANTICIPATE
TEMPERATURES TO NEAR 30 SE COASTAL SECTIONS AND IN THE UPPER TEENS
AND LOWER 20S ACROSS NW MA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
SUNDAY...SHOULD BE DRY BUT COOLER THAN NORMAL WITH HIGHS GENERALLY
MID TO UPPER 40S. ANTICIPATE SUNNY SKIES THROUGH THE MORNING AND
THEN INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS WEST TO EAST DURING THE AFTERNOON AS
MOISTURE STREAMS WELL AHEAD OF A WARM FRONT TO OUR SOUTHWEST.

SUNDAY NIGHT...LIGHT PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY SPREAD INTO THE EAST
SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. THE
PRECIPITATION MAY BEGIN AS SNOW AND THEN MIX WITH SLEET AND/OR
FREEZING RAIN SHORTLY BEFORE DAYBREAK. THE WINTRY MIX IS MOST LIKELY
IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN ABOVE 1500 FEET. EARLY ESTIMATES INDICATE
ABOUT A HALF INCH OF SNOW AND TRACE AMOUNTS OF ICE. DUE TO THE RISK
OF SLEET/FREEZING RAIN...A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MAY EVENTUALLY BE
NEEDED FOR WESTERN FRANKLIN AND WESTERN HAMPSHIRE COUNTIES BUT
CONFIDENCE NOT HIGH ENOUGH THIS FAR OUT FOR ANY HEADLINES. WENT WITH
A NONDIURNAL TREND FOR TEMPERATURES GIVEN THE CLOUDS AND ATTEMPT AT
WARM ADVECTION.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

MODERATING TEMPS WITH RAIN CHC FOR MON AND TUES
* HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE REGION FOR WED AND THU
* HIGH PRESSURE MAY LINGER INTO THE WEEKEND...BUT THE POTENTIAL
  FOR A RETROGRADING OFFSHORE LOW BRINGS SOME UNCERTAINTY.

DAILIES...

MONDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

WITH WARM FRONT NORTH OF THE AREA...SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL DOMINATE
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE 5-10
DEGREES WARMER THAN THOSE ON SUNDAY...BUT STILL ONLY NEAR OR JUST
BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS. EXPECT MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES THRU THE DAY WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AS WEAK SHORTWAVES MOVE THROUGH
THE FLOW. BEST SHOT AT NUMEROUS SHOWERS CONTINUES TO BE NORTHWEST
MASSACHUSETTS.

LOOKING AT BUFKIT SOUNDINGS...THERE IS A MODEST INVERSION ABOUT 2KFT
OFF THE GROUND. RIGHT ABOVE THIS INVERSION ARE STRONGER 40-55 KT
WINDS. DEPENDING ON MIXING POTENTIAL...WE COULD SEE GUSTS 35 TO 40
MPH. VERY LOW CHANCE OF REACHING WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA...IF IT WERE
TO OCCUR...THE BETTER CHANCE OF THIS HAPPENING WOULD BE SOUTHEAST
MA...RI AND THE CAPE/ISLANDS.

TEMPERATURES STAY MILD MONDAY NIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE 40S...MAY SEE
NEARLY STEADY OR EVEN SLIGHTLY RISING TEMPS DURING LATE NIGHT. COLD
FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST...CONTINUED CHANCE FOR SCATTERED
SHOWERS IN THE AREA.

TUESDAY...

THE COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND ON TUESDAY.
SOUTHWEST WINDS ALOFT AND GOOD BL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE
FRONT...WITH PWATS PEAKING OUT AT 1.1 TO 1.2 INCHES WITH THE FRONT.
SHOWERS WILL BE LIKELY OVER SNE...WITH LOCALIZED MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAINFALL POSSIBLE. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF BRING THE FRONT THROUGH
MOST OF SNE BETWEEN 18Z AND 00Z. WHILE THE ECMWF IS MORE PROGRESSIVE
AND BRINGS THE FRONT AND ASSOCIATED PRECIP OFFSHORE TUE
EVENING...THE GFS HAS OPEN WAVE DEVELOPMENT TO OUR SOUTH WHICH HANGS
BACK THE PRECIPITATION. AS MID SHIFT HAD NOTED...WILL NEED TO KEEP
AN EYE OUT FOR POSSIBLE SECONDARY LOW DEVELOPMENT THAT MAY EXTEND
OUR CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION THRU OR BEYOND TUE NIGHT.

REGARDING WINDS...START OFF 12Z TUESDAY WITH CONTINUED STRONG 40-50
KT SW WINDS AT H925...THESE STRONGER WINDS SHIFT TO BE MAINLY
OFFSHORE TOWARDS MIDDAY. MODEL SOUNDINGS DO NOT LOOK FAVORABLE FOR
THE STRONGER WINDS TO MIX DOWN DURING THAT TIMEFRAME...BUT STILL
COULD BE GUSTY.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

THERE IS A CHANCE THAT ANY SECONDARY LOW DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATED WITH
THE OFFSHORE FRONT COULD KEEP PRECIP CHANCES AROUND INTO EASTERN
PORTIONS OF OUR AREA INTO WED. OTHERWISE...LARGE CANADIAN HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO OUR REGION ON WEDNESDAY...LINGERING OVER
OUR AREA THRU THURSDAY. SUBSIDENCE INVERSION KEEPS CONDITIONS DRY.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE.

MODELS SHOW POTENTIAL FOR AN BLOCKING PATTERN SETUP TOWARDS THE END
OF NEXT WEEK...WITH UPPER RIDGE AT LEAST INITIALLY SET UP OVER OUR
AREA...AND UPPER LOW OFFSHORE. IF RIDGE STAYS OVER OUR AREA THEN DRY
CONDITIONS ARE PROBABLE...AND WILL GO WITH THIS SOLUTION AT THIS
TIME. HOWEVER THERE MAY BE THE POTENTIAL FOR A RETROGRADING UPPER
LOW BRINGING A CHANCE FOR RAIN. THIS FAR OUT THERE IS UNCERTAINTY ON
ANY GIVEN SOLUTION.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY 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/...

TONIGHT...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO
PREVAIL ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION TONIGHT. A FEW AREAS OF MVFR
CIGS/VSBYS IN SNOW OR MIXED RAIN/SNOW POSSIBLE ALONG THE IMMEDIATE S
COAST OF RI AND MA INCLUDING MVY AND ACK. AFTER 06Z...ALL
AIRPORTS SHOULD BE VFR. A GUSTY NORTHERLY WIND UP TO 30 TO 35 KT
LIKELY ACROSS THE OUTER CAPE AND ACK FOR A FEW HOURS AFTER
MIDNIGHT.

SUN...HIGH CONFIDENCE OF VFR CONDITIONS THRUOUT REGION WITH
DIMINISHING NW WINDS.

SUN NIGHT...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED
ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA EXCEPT LOWERING TO MVFR CIGS/VSBYS AS MIXED
RA AND SN SPREAD OVER THE BERKSHIRES LATE. THERE IS A RISK OF IFR
CONDITIONS DEVELOPING OVER THE BERKSHIRES TOWARD DAYBREAK MON.

KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE OF VFR CONDITION THROUGH THE PERIOD. NOT
FORECASTING A SEA BREEZE SUN BUT DO NOT THINK IT IS OUT OUT OF THE
QUESTION AFTER ABOUT 2 OR 3 PM.

KBDL TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR CIGS THIS EVENING FOLLOWED BY
CLEARING OVERNIGHT. INCREASING CLOUDS LATE SUN AND SUN NIGHT BUT
CIGS EXPECTED TO IN VFR RANGE.

OUTLOOK /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. PERIODS OF MVFR IN -SHRA
ON MONDAY. SW WIND GUSTING BETWEEN 20-30 KTS WITH HIGHER GUSTS
POSSIBLE EAST COASTAL MA AND RI TERMINALS ON MONDAY. COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGE ON TUESDAY WILL BRING IFR CONDITIONS WITH LOCALIZED MODERATE
TO HEAVY RAING. WINDS SHIFTING TO THE WEST CT/WESTERN MA BY
18Z...EASTERN MA/RI BY 00Z WED.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. HIGH PRESSURE...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

HAVE CONTINUED GALE WARNINGS ACROSS MOST WATERS BUT IT IS
LOOKING RATHER MARGINAL. WINDS SHOULD DROP BELOW SCA LEVELS DURING
SUN MORNING AND THE SEAS SHOULD SLOWLY SUBSIDE BELOW 5 FT IN THE
OUTER COASTAL WATERS DURING SUN AFTERNOON. WIND GUSTS MAY APPROACH
SCA LEVELS TOWARD DAYBREAK OVER THE OUTER S COAST WATERS S OF BLOCK
ISLAND. SEAS MAY APPROACH 5 FT AS WELL TOWARD DAYBREAK OVER THE
OUTER S COASTAL WATERS S OF BLOCK ISLAND.

OUTLOOK /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

MONDAY...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WATERS WITH APPROACHING LOW TO THE
WEST WILL TIGHTEN PRESSURE GRADIENT AND INCREASE WINDS. LOW PROB FOR
GALES ESPECIALLY ACROSS NEAR SHORE WATERS. OTHERWISE SCA WILL BE
NEEDED AS SEAS BUILD IN RESPONSE.

TUESDAY...STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL TURN MORE WESTERLY TUESDAY
NIGHT AS COLD FRONT PASSES OVER THE WATERS. VSBYS RESTRICTIONS
POSSIBLE WITHIN LOCALLY MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN. SCA WILL BE NEEDED.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING EASTWARD
ONLAND...HOWEVER OFFSHORE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MAY KEEP SWELL AND
SEAS UP THROUGH THE PERIOD...AS WELL AS MARGINAL SCA WIND GUSTS. LOW
CONFIDENCE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS LOW. SCA MAY BE NEEDED.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
WE ARE ANTICIPATING FAIRLY WIDESPREAD MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ABOUT
THE HIGH TIDE LATE TONIGHT ALONG THE MA EAST COAST...AROUND 2 AM
MOST LOCATIONS EXCEPT CLOSER TO 3 AM ON NANTUCKET. A COASTAL FLOOD
ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT. POCKETS OF MINOR TO MODERATE COASTAL
FLOODING POSSIBLE ALONG SOME N AND NE FACING COASTLINES S OF
BOSTON. THE TREND...HOWEVER...HAS BEEN FOR MODEL PROJECTIONS OF
SOMEWHAT LESS ROBUST NNE OR N WINDS TONIGHT WHICH COULD RESULT IN
SLIGHLY LOWER SEAS AND SURGE.

WE ARE CONTINUING TO PROJECT A 1 TO 2 FOOT STORM SURGE ON TOP OF
THE HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDE. A N OR NNE WIND WITH 30 TO 35 KT GUSTS
EXPECTED AROUND THE TIME OF THE HIGH TIDE. WAVES OF 5 TO 7 FEET
ANTICIPATED ACROSS MASS BAY AND CAPE COD BAY AND 7 TO 10 FEET
JUST EAST OF THE CAPE AND NANTUCKET. TO NOT EXPECT LARGE OVERWASH
OR ANY RISK OF WAVE BATTERY AS NOT ENOUGH DURATION AND FETCH WITH
THE WINDS TO BUILD UP THAT TYPE OF WAVE ACTION. MAIN ISSUE WILL BE
THE HIGH TOTAL WATER LEVEL THANKS TO THE VERY HIGH ASTRONOMICAL
TIDE AND A MODERATE AMOUNT OF STORM SURGE ON TOP. MAIN IMPACT
SHOULD BE A NUMBER OF VULNERABLE SHORE ROADS FLOODED FOR A TIME
AND PROBABLY SOME BASEMENT FLOODING AS WELL IN THE MOST LOW LYING
AREAS.

&&

.BOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
