Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
317 PM EDT Wed Aug 2 2017

.SYNOPSIS...

Scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms are expected today
containing threats of heavy rain, gusty winds, and hail up to an
inch. Flash flooding is possible with heavy rain and slow moving
storms. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH is in effect. Scattered shower and
thunderstorm activity continues through the week ahead of a cold
front which will cross the region Saturday, likely accompanied
by another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms, with a
few strong storms possible. Behind the front, splendid weather
Sunday with low humidity and temps 75-80. Unsettled weather may
return early next week in the form of more scattered showers and
thunderstorms.

&&

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

330 pm update...

*/ Highlights...

 - FLASH FLOOD WATCH in effect for areas N/W of Providence RI to
   Plymouth MA, roughly Route 44.

 - Slow moving thunderstorms presently ongoing, embedded heavy
   rain threats with rainfall rates of around 2-3 inches an hour

 - Main threat of heavy rain and localized flooding with
   expected slow storm movement.

 - Additional threats of gusty winds and hail up to an inch with
   any of the stronger storms.

*/ Discussion...

Storms impacting S New England. Numerous observations of rainfall
rates of around 2-3 inches an hour contributing to flash flooding
as storm movement has been nearly stationary, in some instances
back-building given the marginal shear environment supporting
multi-cellular storms with cold pool outflows. With higher lofted
cores, more likely impacts of large hail up to an inch and wind
gusts to 50 mph. These threats are likely to continue into the
evening hours by which point they are expected to dissipate with
the lack of daytime heating.

To reiterate...

Main threat will be heavy rain and localized flooding given the
very moist environment and slow movement of storms, as well as
the convective nature of the environment to be pulse- to multi-
cellular convection. Rainfall rates around 2-3 inches per hour
over one particular area, which has already been observed in
spots, contributing to flash flooding.

Secondary threats of hail up to an inch and damaging wind threats
with any cores that are able to be lofted high that immediately
come down.

Given wind and shear profiles, storm-associated cold pools are not
maintaining with some of the storms. Getting a lot of boundary
collisions across S New England, the confluence of which is
contributing to storm maintenance or initiation. This in addition
to daytime mixing. As has been stated earlier, as the energy within
the boundary layer becomes exhausted and the sun goes down, should
see convective activity dissipate.

Tonight...

Convection dissipating into evening, low clouds fill in overnight.
Anticipating with partial clearing after the storms and continued
light wind profile with abundant low-level moisture, that as a
result of nocturnal cooling, low clouds and fog should develop.
Higher confidence for those areas with higher dewpoints across
the interior, specifically the lower CT-River Valley and SE New
England. This as low drop down into the mid to upper 60s.

&&

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

Thursday...

Scattered showers and thunderstorms mainly over N/W MA and CT.
Low clouds and fog dissipating during the morning hours with the
early-August sun. Anticipating the burn-off towards the SE coast,
low clouds lingering the longest in and around the Newport RI to
New Bedford MA region. Heights rising within the mid-upper levels
out ahead of a stronger vortmax in associated with deeper mid-
level troughing across the Great Lakes Region. A bit more of a
cap across the region, limiting shower and thunderstorm activity,
however given the moist, unstable environment still in place,
some activity is expected, the area of greatest threat to the
N/W away from the more onshore, stable marine air, mainly atop
the high terrain with anabatic, convergent flow up the slopes.
Heavy rain the main threat given the weak shear and mean wind
profile. Storms likely once again to be the pulse-type and slow
moving given the weak steering flow.

Thursday night...

Convection dissipating again, expect the return of low clouds and
fog. Clearing into the evening, anticipating that all the low clouds
along the S-shore dissipated or become scattered, given the low
level moist profile and nocturnal cooling, low clouds and fog develop
once again. Higher dewpoint air over much of the region, feel there
is a risk of low clouds and fog over a majority of S New England.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

Highlights...

* Typical summer warmth and humidity Thursday night thru Saturday
* Scattered afternoon-evening showers/t-storms thru Friday
* Cold front Sat yields another round of T-storms, a few strong
* Summer heat and humidity break Sat night into Sunday

Temperatures...

Southwest flow aloft across the northeast thru Sat yields 850 mb
temps around +15c to +16c over southern New England. This will
support daytime temps well into the 80s. Convective cloud debris at
times along with high dew pts of 65-70 will probably preclude any 90
deg temps from being realized. Nonetheless, still a summer-time
airmass. Significant change in airmass Sat night into Sunday behind
departing cold front. Dew pts will plummet into the 40s and 50s late
Sat night into Sunday providing very comfortable humidity levels,
especially for early August. This dry airmass will also yield for
comfortable nighttime temps in the 50s! Ensembles have 850 temps
lowering to about +10c at 850 Sunday morning. This will support
highs 75-80 Sunday, slightly below average. However this will set
the stage for splendid weather Sunday with mostly sunny conditions,
highs 75-80 and dew pts in the 40s and 50s! Not your typical August
weather for southern New England. Northern stream jet remains over
or south of the region early next week, suppressing summer heat and
humidity south of New England. This combined with cloud cover at
times will likely yield highs only in the 70s, slightly below
average.

Precipitation...

Cyclonic flow aloft thru Friday along with dew pts in the 60s to
near 70 will be sufficient for diurnally driven scattered afternoon-
evening storms each day. By no means a washout with many hours of
dry weather expected. Winds aloft are weak but instability may be
greater enough to support a few strong storms. However main concern
will be slow moving storms yielding a risk for localized heavy
rainfall. Showers and T-storms will be most numerous inland with
southeast MA possibly remaining rain-free much of the time. Another
round of showers likely Sat as a cold front sweeps across the area.
Strong jet dynamics and modest instability will have to be watched
for severe weather potential. Dry weather returns Sat night behind
departing cold front with post frontal airmass entrenched across the
region Sunday. Great Lakes trough appears to reload with new jet
energy ejected eastward into southern New England sometime late next
Mon into Tue. So another round of convection is possible.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /through Thursday Night/...

Rest of today...
SCT SHRA/TSRA ongoing N/W of PVD-GHG, will continue into evening.
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH is in effect. +RA definite along with MVFR-
IFR impacts. Also expecting gusty winds radiating outwards from
storm centers. Continue TEMPO wording VRB15G25KT. Stronger storms
will also contain a risk of hail. Otherwise, breezy S winds with
possible gusts near 20 kts for SE coastal terminals.

Wednesday night...Moderate confidence.
SHRA/TSRA dissipate after sunset. VFR mostly however expect IFR-
LIFR CIGs and VSBYs to develop once again. Higher confidence for
the lower CT-River Valley and interior SE New England terminals.
Light S winds overall.

Thursday...Moderate confidence.
IFR-LIFR CIGs and VSBYs erode towards the S-coast, lingering
possibly into the midday hours for places like UUU-EWB. SCT
SHRA/TSRA develop over the N/W interior, mainly across the high
terrain. TEMPO MVFR-IFR with any wet-weather. Otherwise VFR with
breezy S winds, gusts up to 20 kts.

Thursday night...Moderate confidence.
SCT SHRA/TSRA dissipate into evening. VFR initially again but
expect IFR-LIFR CIGs and VSBYs to develop, more widespread over
S New England terminals into Friday morning. Light S winds.

KBOS Terminal...TSRA impacting the terminal, winds are VRB at this
time. Should see as activity dissipates into evening that winds
return more S. For now, present activity will result in MVFR-IFR
impacts and the continuation of airport weather warnings.

KBDL Terminal...TSRA impacting the terminal, winds are VRB at this
time. Should see as activity dissipates into evening that winds
return more S. For now, present activity will result in MVFR-IFR
impacts and the continuation of airport weather warnings.

Outlook /Friday through Monday/...High confidence

Mainly VFR other than a few hours of late night/early morning patchy
fog possible at times in the typically prone locations. Scattered
afternoon-early evening SHRA/TSRA may result in localized lower
conditions mainly inland from the south coast. Improving
conditions Saturday night into Sunday with VFR and dry weather.

&&

.MARINE...

FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

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

Small boats along the S waters should tread cautiously for the
next few days as likely with daytime mixing and subsequent sea-
breezes, winds especially within bays and sounds will likely
gust 15 to 20 knots with sustained winds around 10 to 15 kts.
Seas remaining below 4 feet but expect 2 foot seas within the
inner harbors and bays.

Into this evening...

Adverse weather is expected off the coast N of Quincy. Mariners
should be aware of anticipated scattered shower and thunderstorm
activity developing W and slowly moving N/E along the near-shore.
Gusty winds can be expected along with heavy rain and frequent
lightning. Small boats at the greatest risk of impact.

Tonight...

Storms dissipated. Some low clouds and fog conditions are
possible along the near-shore waters. Otherwise light S winds.

Thursday into Thursday night...

Breezy S winds up to 20 kts during the day. The return of low
clouds and fog along the near-shore possible overnight.

Outlook /Friday through Monday/...High confidence.

Weak pressure gradient will keep winds and seas below small craft
advisory thresholds. Southerly flow and good mixing over the land
should generate a few hours of afternoon wind gusts around 20 knots
across our near shore waters. This will result in a period of some
choppy seas for the typically vulnerable Harbors and Bays. Isolated
afternoon-early evening thunderstorms possible Thu/Fri mainly across
our near shore northern waters. Perhaps a greater risk for more
organized showers and thunderstorms Saturday. Also patchy dense fog
is possible each night/early morning thru Sat. Improving weather Sat
night into Sunday behind a departing cold front. Dry weather and
good vsby this period.
