Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
332 AM EDT SUN MAY 22 2016

.SYNOPSIS...

Coastal low pressure brings wet weather today as it passes well
offshore of Nantucket. The low continues on to Nova Scotia
tonight. We get a break in the wet weather tonight and Monday. A
second low pressure then moves up the coast and brings more
scattered showers Monday night and Tuesday. A warming trend
begins Wednesday, with showers diminishing. A front lingers just
to our north late next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...

Low pressure was centered about 200 miles south of Providence
overnight and moving northeast. Radar showed the rain shield from
this weather system over Cape Cod and Islands and also trending
northeast. Meanwhile showers were moving across Connecticut and
Western/Central MA. These are tied in with the upper trough and
cold pool which hangs back across New York and PA.

The coastal low will pass about 125 miles southeast of Nantucket
around midday. Expect light rain to continue over the Cape and
Islands until this passage. Also potential for drizzle or
sprinkles in Eastern MA through the morning. The potential then
diminishes this afternoon as the low moves off.

Showers from the NY trough will remain a concern in Western
sections this morning. Lapse rates linger around 6.2C/KM this
afternoon but stability parameters remain mediocre at best. So the
chance of showers in the west should diminish this afternoon.

Northeast surface flow off the water will slowly turn north this
afternoon but should be enough to keep eastern areas in the 60s.
Farther west the light flow and breaks of sun with 6-7C temps
aloft supporting surface temps around 70.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...

Upper closed low settles in to place centered over Virginia with
the closed circulation extending up the coast to New England. This
circulation along with plently of moisture between 850 mb and 700
mb should maintain at least partly cloudy skies Sunday night and
Monday.

Dew points in the 40s should keep surface temps in the mid 40s to
lower 50s. The sunshine that does occur on Monday should bring
surface temps into the upper 60s and lower to mid 70s inland. A
developing northeast wind will move ashore on the Cape and Islands
and East Coastal Massachusetts and keep max surface temps in the
upper 50s and 60s there.

Upper jet moving around the closed low will move the associated
surface low north on Monday. The favorable left exit region of
this jet, which will support lift and shower development, will
also move north. Current model information holds this feature
south of New England through much of Monday. It may come close
enough to bring a few showers to the South Coast late in the day.
Most if not all of the showers should wait until Monday night.

&&

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

 * Unstable and wet, but milder, Tuesday.
 * Warmer still, and drier Wednesday
 * Warmer still late week, but potentially unsettled.

Overview and Model Preferences...

Still looking at an amplified pattern, with our region beneath an
anomalous cutoff through early next week. A strong downstream
blocking ridge should shift east just enough mid week to permit
this cutoff to eventually dissipate toward the end of next week.
As it does, we get into more of a zonal mid level flow, which
should stall a frontal boundary just to our north late next week.

As usual with these patterns, models are in very good overall
agreement with the trends and evolution. The portion of the
forecast most likely to be an issue will be the timing. Will favor
a consensus approach to smooth over some of these timing
differences, which are more pronounced late next week.

Details...

Monday into Tuesday...

Core of the upper level cold pool moves over southern New England
Monday night into Tuesday. In addition, a second surface low
pressure should move into our region Monday night into Tuesday.
This will mean another period of clouds, along with some showers.
Timing- wise, expecting most of these showers to continue Monday
night, peak Tuesday morning, then gradually move away Tuesday
evening. This timing could change with later forecasts.

Isolated thunderstorms are possible, despite modest CAPE values
less than 500 J/kg. This is just due to the strength of the cold
pool aloft.

Wednesday...

Brief ridge of high pressure to our south takes over, leading to
drier conditions and more summer-like temperatures. Will have to
consider seabreeze potential some more. At this point, it appears
the synoptic flow should be just strong enough to prevent lower
temperatures along most of the east coast of MA. Cape Cod and the
islands, as well as Cape Ann, will likely not share in as much
warmth.

Thursday through Saturday...

Warm front shifts into Canada and northern New England with
return flow and ridging, Thursday. This front looks like it will
get stalled just to our north late next week, due to the nearly
zonal flow aloft. Looks like a good warm sector setup, with
potential destabilization possible. The question will be available
moisture. Thinking diurnally-driven showers and thunderstorms are
possible, and will feature rainfall chances as such, especially
Friday into Saturday across the western half of southern New
England.

Summer-like temperatures should continue.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels.

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

Short Term /through Monday/...

Today... Moderate Confidence.

Mixed MVFR/IFR cigs and light showers will move northeast
today and bring improvement to VFR by afternoon. Gusty winds over
Cape Cod and Islands may reach 25-30 knots for a time this
afternoon/evening.

Tonight... Moderate Confidence.

Mainly VFR. Potential for MVFR from low ceilings on Cape Cod and
Islands.

Monday... Moderate Confidence.

VFR with potential patches of MVFR in showers.

North flow turns from the Northeast during the day especially
along the East Massachusetts coast and across Cape Cod and
Islands. This will bring a low chance of MVFR cigs/vsbys in light
showers. A more substantial area of showers will move up from the
south during the day, reaching the South Coast toward evening.

KBOS TAF...Moderate confidence in TAF.

KBDL TAF...High confidence in TAF.

Outlook...Monday night into Wednesday.

Monday night into Tuesday...Moderate Confidence.

Although not a complete washout, periods of showers will continue
across the area with northeasterly flow. This also suggests low
clouds. Therefore, periods of MVFR/IFR are likely, but it's
possible occasional VFR, especially across the interior, will
occur.

Wednesday...High Confidence.

Mainly VFR with high pressure.

Thursday...Moderate Confidence.

Mainly VFR. Scattered MVFR in showers possible, mainly west of
KLWM-KORH-KIJD.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels.

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

Today... Moderate confidence.

Low pressure passes about 125 miles southeast of Nantucket early
afternoon. This will bring light rain to the southern waters this
morning. Winds will increase from the northeast toward midday and
afternoon with gusts 25 to 30 knots. Seas will build today with 5
to 9 feet on the outer waters and the RI waters. Small Craft
advisory continues for most of our waters through the day.

Tonight... Moderate confidence.

Low pressure moves off across Nova Scotia. This will turn winds
from the north with diminishing speeds. But seas will linger at 5
to 9 feet, mainly across the outer waters. Small Craft advisory
continues on most waters due to seas.

Monday... High confidence.

North winds diminish in the morning. Lingering 5 to 7 foot seas on
the Eastern Outer Waters. Low pressure moves up from the south
during the late afternoon and spreads showers across the Southern
waters with briefly low vsbys. This will also turn winds from the
northeast, but speeds will remain at or below 20 knots. Small
Craft Advisory will continue to be needed on the Eastern Outer
Waters.

Outlook /Monday Night through Thursday/...

Tuesday...Moderate Confidence.

Winds still remain below 25 kt, but a second approaching low
pressure will allow for building southerly swell. Small craft
advisories may need to continue for some waters.

Wednesday into Thursday...High Confidence.

High pres briefly builds over the waters, mainly quiet boating
weather expected.
