Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
953 PM EDT Wed Oct 25 2017

.SYNOPSIS...

Light to moderate rainfall overnight along and ahead of a slow,
nearly stationary, E sweeping cold front across S New England.
Another round of showers, locally heavy is expected Thursday as
low pressure moves across the region. High pressure will bring
dry weather Friday and Saturday with a warming trend. Another
strong weather system may bring heavy rainfall and strong winds
Sunday into Sunday night followed by improving conditions Monday.

&&

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

10 pm update...

Light to moderate rain continues overnight with some embedded
heavier showers which will add onto impressive rainfall totals
thus far, some areas having already received over 4-inches of
storm-total rain.

Bulk of higher theta-E / sub-tropical air is presently along the
outer Cape and offshore collocated with faster low-level winds
(see 0z Chatham sounding with a 1.76 precipitable water and a
nearly saturated column throughout breaking the prior record of
1.61 inches). However still a decent S to N atmospheric river
moisture with precipitable waters in excess of an inch ahead of
a low-level convergent, slow-moving cold front as discerned via
both surface temperatures and dewpoints, as well as within H925-7
vertical wind profilers and along the 290-300K isentropic surfaces
showing a convergent focus of northwesterlies and southeasterlies.
Beneath an elongated N-S vortmax, contributing to mid level ascent
and subsequent colder cloud tops seen via latest satellite, seeing
an emphasis on low-level moisture contributing to widespread light
to moderate rain with embedded heavier showers. Those heavier
showers shallow with storm tops up to 15 kft, and with the slow
movement E, a more subdued flood threat. Rainfall rates at most
up around 0.5 inches an hour, still with precipitation efficiency
given freezing levels up around 11-12 kft.

So tonight, a secondary mid-level vortmax digging through the base
of the elongated H5 trough stretched S over the E Great Lakes into
the Mid-Atlantic, anticipating the H5 trough to negatively-tilt
across regions of greater baroclinicity towards morning. Promotion
of cyclogenesis over our adjacent waters and increasing cyclonic
turning, will see the low-level convergent profile strengthen round
the subsequent low center beneath continued mid-level support.
Maintenance of higher theta-E air westward and onshore, continue
high PoPs through the night with expected with the rain shield
to edge back W. Additional rainfall amounts around a half inch
with the heaviest over the Outer Cape beneath the more moist
airmass, and out over the W and Central areas of New England
with training of heavier showers.

Lows dropping over the W half of the state with a more W component
of surface wind, down into the upper 40s to low 50s, the E remains
stable beneath a more moist airmass ahead of the cold front and
onshore S/E flow.

&&

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

Most of the 12Z global and short range high res models all
signal the establishment of the negative tilting trough with H5
cutoff low pressure slowly shifting out of the mid Atlantic
states toward New England during the day. With the cyclonic
low level wind flow, and keeping a deep low level onshore flow
continuing across east coastal areas. Will see another influx of
precip especially across E Mass and RI during the day, so
low clouds and showers will continue. Have kept CAT POPS across
central and eastern areas through at least midday, then should
shift slowly NE during the afternoon...at least for now.

Will also see scattered showers shift westward to the CT valley
and linger there through the day as well even as winds shift to
W-NW. It will be cooler inland with highs mainly in the 50s,
coolest across the higher terrain.

May start to see improving conditions across western areas Thu
afternoon as the cutoff low slowly moves into the region.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

Highlights...

* Dry weather with a warming trend Fri/Sat
* Another round of heavy rain and strong winds possible Sun/Sun night
* Improving conditions Mon then mainly dry and seasonable Tue/Wed

Overview...

Active pattern across the CONUS with another high amplitude
trough digging south across the central CONUS late in the week
and moving east this weekend. Ahead of this trough, east coast
ridging will result in a period of mild and dry weather Fri/Sat,
then dynamic negative tilt trof will likely bring another round
of heavy rainfall and strong winds to New Eng sometime Sun into
early Mon, with concern of some kind of tropical or hybrid
system. Behind this system, seasonably cool and mainly dry
weather is expected early next week as broad long wave trough
sets up across the Great Lakes.

Thursday night...

Mid level low over SNE in the evening will lift north into
Maine overnight. Deep moisture and sufficient synoptic forcing
will result in showers continuing into the evening, especially
north of the mid level low across northern and NE MA. Then
excellent mid level drying moves in from the south and west
which will result in clearing skies overnight. As sfc low
intensifies to north, gusty west winds will develop with gusts
to 25-35 mph.

Friday and Saturday...

High pres in control, building south of New Eng Fri then
shifting to the east Sat with milder southerly flow developing.
Expect sunshine with a warming trend. Highs Fri near seasonable
for late Oct in the mid 50s to lower 60s, then warming to the
mid/upper 60s Sat.

Sunday into Sunday night...

Rather robust and dynamic negative tilt mid level trough
approaches New Eng with a strong low level jet transporting
anomalous moisture northward. Some of the models are hinting at
a warm core low pres lifting north over the ocean and some of
the deterministic guidance produces an extreme low level jet. We
are still at day 4-5 in the model world so really can't lock
into a deterministic run. However, even the GEFS ensembles are
signaling a possible significant wind/QPF event with low level
wind anomalies up to 4SD above normal and PWATs 2-3SD above
normal which is very impressive at this time range. In fact,
GEFS ensembles indicating up to a 50 percent prob of greater
than 4 inches of rain. Timing and specific details of potential
wind/rain hazards is still uncertain but there is a risk of a
significant wind and rain event sometime Sunday into Sunday
night.

Monday into Wednesday...

System will be lifting out on Monday so expect improving
conditions but gusty westerly winds given strong gradient. Then
mainly dry and seasonable Tue/Wed as broad longwave trough sets
up across the Great lakes. Another shortwave will be rotating
around the trough late in the period but timing is uncertain. If
shortwave is quicker, this could bring threat of showers next
Wed.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /through Thursday/...Moderate confidence.

Tonight...
Wide range of outcomes from low-end VFR to LIFR with -RA/-DZ
and in some areas RA/+RA. For the W-half of S New England a more
N/W wind while S/E over the E-half. Low-end VFR for BDL / BAF,
but all other terminals will waver in outcomes overnight.

Thursday...
Areas of -RA/RA with the worst of conditions along with MVFR to
IFR across N/E terminals of S New England. S/W has a greater
chance of seeing mostly low-end VFR. It may be that only BDL /
BAF remain out of the mess. Winds becoming NW across all
terminals gradually and increasing late with gusts up to 30 kts
along the S-coast.

KBOS Terminal...Moderate confidence in TAF.
Low-end VFR presently but expect lowering towards IFR after
midnight with continued -RA/RA. Continued impacts through the
morning push, may not see improvement till as early as dusk
Thursday.

KBDL Terminal...Moderate confidence in TAF.
Low-end VFR may prevail throughout the majority of the forecast
period even into Thursday. Will hint at some MVFR overnight into
the AM push. Otherwise increasing NW winds into Thursday with
continued -RA/RA impacts.

Outlook /Thursday Night through Monday/...

Thursday Night: Moderate confidence. Local MVFR with SHRA
possible in the evening, otherwise VFR. Windy with gusts to
25-30 kt.

Friday: High confidence. VFR. Windy with local gusts to 30 kt.

Friday Night: High confidence. Mainly VFR.

Saturday through Saturday Night: High confidence. VFR.
