Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
426 AM EDT Sun Mar 26 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A front will remain stalled to our south today, then push north
as a warm front late tonight into Monday. Another low pressure
will move across southern New England Tuesday, bringing some
rain showers. High pressure brings dry but cooler weather
Wednesday and Thursday. Then more precipitation possible late
Friday into Saturday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
High pressure shifts east into the Maritimes. Ageostrophic winds
remain from the north during the day. It will take some time for
a front to our south to get close enough to southern New England
before precipitation will be a risk. By that time, temperatures
should have risen enough to minimize the threat of freezing
rain or sleet across much of our region. The greatest risk for
freezing rain and sleet will be towards the eastern slopes of
the Berkshires.

Due to the spotty nature of the freezing rain coverage, and
limited amount of sleet, will not have a advisory in effect this
morning. Will issue a Special Weather Statement instead.

Increasing clouds will slow temperature rises into this
afternoon. Max temperatures likely will be near or slightly
below those from Saturday.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
Tonight...

The stronger low level south winds shift farther east Sunday
evening and bring a greater potential for lift and precipitation
production through the night, especially after midnight.

Temperature profiles showing a strong warm nose aloft. North
ageostropic winds continue near the ground, which will set the
stage for freezing rain across the higher terrain of central and
western MA. Some freezing rain possible across northernmost
Connecticut. However, thinking coverage is too limited at this
time to warrant an advisory. This could change with later
forecasts.

Monday...

Warm front finally moves north into southern New England. This
will end the threat of any freezing rain across our region.
However, that will not end the possibility for rain as a low
pressure moves through our region. this rain could be moderate
to heavy at times. Temperatures should be near normal.

&&

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

* Showery weather ahead of approaching cold front on Tuesday
* Cooler but dry weather for mid-week
* Active weather returns late in the week into the weekend

Pattern Overview...

00z models and ensembles show fairly good agreement on the
maintenance of a longwave trough over the western states with
flat flow to moderate mean riding prevailing downstream over
the East. A separate northern stream progresses along either
side of the Canadian border. Within this consensus mean pattern
models and ensembles have been showing a lot of spread for some
of the embedded features. This is noticed as early as the Day 3
forecast. Both the GFS and GEFS are more amplified compared to
the rest of model suite. However still anticipate open wave
interacts with the northern stream bringing a shot of precip on
Tuesday. Upper level trough with surface high pressure for the
mid-week as another upper level closed low diffuses towards the
region late in the week.

Details...

Monday night into Tuesday...Low confidence.

Weak ridging in the mid-levels will result in a break in the
precip  Monday night into Tuesday morning. Focus then turns to
the next open wave and how it will interact with the northern
stream. The GFS is more amplified compared to the progressive EC
with the remaining guidance inbetween. Used a model blend for
this portion of the forecast.

First wave will move offshore and with weak ridging aloft,
anticipate a drying trend in the forecast. Timing issues for
the next shot of precip on Tuesday, but feel there is enough of
a chance to keep pops in the forecast ahead of approaching cold
front. Thermal ridge over southern New England may help increase
temps near or above seasonable. In fact, depending on mixing
and cloud cover, we could see temps warm into the 60s. Southerly
flow will help increase low level moisture and with approaching
front, could see iso thunder as guidance hints at elevated
convection.

Cold front will sweep through during the overnight hours
ushering in dry air and northwest flow Tuesday night.

Wednesday into Friday...High confidence.

Trough overhead as upper level low deepens as it moves towards
the Canadian Maritimes. This puts the region in northwest flow
through the period resulting in dry but breezy conditions.
There might be a few showers across the northeast on Wednesday
in cyclonic flow. Despite cold advection, the environment should
be well mixed, so max temperatures will be close to normal.

Northwest flow continues on Thursday with an area of high
pressure building in New England. Anticipate increasing
sunshine and lighter winds. Dry and seasonable conditions should
persist through Friday with high pressure in control.

Friday night into the weekend...Low confidence.

Split flow remains over the region with the next southern stream
wave interacting with the northern stream. Large model spread for
the Friday night into the weekend time frame leading to a low
confidence forecast. The GFS suppresses the system well to our
south, with a dry northern stream flow dominating. However, the
ECMWF and CMC continues to indicate the low opening into a
progressive trough and tracking across the region. Overall this
portion of the forecast will depend on the strength and timing of
the upper level wave and thus surface reflections. Because of the
large spread in the guidance will continue with low confidence
forecast.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z 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/...Moderate confidence.

Today...Mainly VFR. Areas of MVFR cigs/vsbys in possible
precipitation, especially in CT and western MA. Patchy
freezing rain or sleet toward the Berkshires from late morning
into this afternoon.

Tonight...Conditions lower to MVFR, with IFR in the Central
Hills and the Berkshires. Increasing chance of precipitation
with time. Increasing chance of sleet or freezing rain in areas
north and west of Boston-Providence. Greatest risk for
precipitation will be late at night, as the Monday morning
push starts to gear up.

Monday...Any leftover -FZRA/-PL in the morning will end across
higher terrain by mid morning. Otherwise, MVFR-IFR CIGS in rain.

KBOS TAF...High confidence in TAF trends. Moderate confidence in
timing.

KBDL TAF...High confidence in TAF trends. Moderate confidence in
timing.

Outlook /Monday Night through Thursday/...

Monday night...Moderate confidence. Improving conditions to VFR.

Tuesday...High confidence. MVFR conditions within any passing rain
showers with improving cigs to VFR. Low risk for thunder.

Wednesday into Thursday...High confidence. Gusty N/W winds
Wednesday with VFR conditions into Thursday.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /through Monday/...

Today...High confidence. East winds less than 20 knots. Seas
less than 5 feet.

Tonight...High confidence. Approaching low pressure from the
west will spread rain across the waters from west to east. Winds
will remain below 20 knots and seas below 5 feet through the
period.

Monday...Moderate confidence. Warm front with weak low pressure
along it may kick up southeast to south winds to near 25 kt
gusts and seas could build to 5-6 ft over the outer waters.
Small Craft Advisories are likely for some of the outer waters.

Outlook /Monday Night through Thursday/...

Tuesday...Moderate confidence. Frontal system will pass over the
waters increasing them to above 5 feet. SCA may be needed.

Wednesday into Thursday...High confidence. Gusty NW winds near
Gales on Wednesday will help increase seas. SCA will be needed
at the very least. High pressure nosing in on Thursday will
slowly relax seas.
