Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
211 AM EDT Tue Jun 27 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
An active/strong jet stream will move across New England
tonight and Tuesday, bringing a few showers and isolated
thunderstorms. The greater threat will be on Tuesday. A warming
trend begins for the latter half of the week with a return to
summer heat and humidity Friday and Saturday. A warm front may
bring some showers and some thunderstorms Thursday night, with
more showers and thunderstorms possible Friday through the
weekend.

&&

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

2 AM Update...

Quiet weather across the region during the predawn hours with
dry conditions, temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s and
comfortable humidity with dew pts in the 50s. Watching an area
of convection over southeast PA near Philly. This area of
showers and T-storms will enter western CT/MA between 12z/8am
and 15z/11 am.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
Sharp shortwave over the Great Lakes today moves through the
cyclonic flow. One part ejects across NY and Northern New
England Tuesday afternoon/evening, while the main portion
crosses our area late Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.

We remain on the edge of the cold pool Tuesday, but close enough
to expect mid level lapse rates of 6.5 to 7C/Km during the
afternoon and early night. Going along with this will be Totals
in the lower 50s and LI values below zero, as well as SBCAPE
values of 500-1000 J/Kg. Theta-E values show a ridge over CT
during the afternoon/evening. Expect scattered showers/tstms
during the afternoon and early night.

Winds aloft show some support for a few strong or damaging
storms. Winds at 850 mb will be 20-30 knots during Tuesday
afternoon, although this is forecast to move offshore by
evening. Winds at 500 mb are forecast at 50-60 knots during
Tuesday afternoon, but also move offshore by evening. Timing of
this wind and of the shower/tstm development may be the
determining factor in how strong these storms may get. The mixed
layer is expected to reach near 850 mb, where winds as noted
above will be 20 to 30 knots. Our forecast includes gusts on the
lower half of that range, but slightly higher values are
possible.

With the main shortwave moving through during Tuesday night, and
with the upper cold pool moving overhead, expect a continued
chance of showers/storms Tuesday night.

If mixing reaches 850 mb it will work on temps of 8-10C, which
suggests max sfc temps of 75 to 80. If mixing goes a little
higher, such as to 800 mb, then max sfc temps would be more
centered around 80. No change in the airmass Tuesday night
compared with tonight, so expect similar min temps.

&&

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

* Pleasant Wednesday with low risk of a shower
* Heat and Humidity return Friday thru Sunday
* Thunderstorm chances increase Thursday night through Sunday

Details...

Wednesday...

An area of high pressure passes to our south, and model soundings
show quite dry airmass in place with precipitable water around 0.75
inch. Models show a short wave moving thru the area, then modest mid
level ridging develops later in the day. Anticipating development of
diurnal cumulus clouds, overall partly to mostly sunny skies.
Guidance continues to show very little QPF on Wednesday. Can't rule
out a few pop-up showers during the afternoon since low level lapse
rates are steep, however for much of the area, the day should stay
dry. Highs mainly in the 70s with dew points dropping to 45-50 in
the afternoon.

Dry conditions expected Wednesday night with any isolated diurnal
showers coming to an end early. Winds aloft will begin to turn more
to the southwest by Wednesday night with warm air advection, which
should bring some increase in clouds. Overnight lows mainly upper
50s to low 60s.

Thursday...

Surface high pressure slides offshore, meanwhile low pressure
tracking east thru the Great Lakes Region pushes a warm front
northeastward across southern New England. As we end up in the warm
sector, increasing heat and humidity will occur. Increasing moisture
will result in more clouds, and the potential for showers and
thunderstorms. Highest probability for precipitation would be across
the northern half of our area, continuing with likely pops there.
Chance pops further to the south. Could see gusty winds with any
thunderstorms and/or if sun breaks out for awhile and allows good
mixing, potential gusts 25 to 30 mph or so.

With zonal flow and both 850mb isotherms and winds becoming
parallel, appears that any convection that generates across upstate
NY could track eastward into southern New England. Will continue the
chance for showers/thunderstorms into Thursday night. More abundant
cloud cover coupled with high surface dew points will keep lows in
the 60s.

Friday thru Sunday...

Continue to anticipate an unsettled weather pattern for this
timeframe, influenced by broad upper trough to near zonal flow, with
periodic short waves passing thru our area, and areas of surface low
pressure moving thru the flow and to our north. Southern New England
remains in the warm sector until later Sunday, with heat and
humidity. Models continue to indicate during Fri night/Saturday that
a back door cold front should remain to our north. Thus the
potential for 90 degree high temps returns for both Friday and
Saturday. Chance for showers and thunderstorms each day. Difficult
to place the exact timing and location of any strong storms during
Friday and Saturday.

During Sunday models indicate a cold front pushing thru the area,
which would be a trigger additional showers and thunderstorms.

The potential for strong thunderstorms appears possible each day
during this period. One caveat to watch is the subtropical ridge. If
this ridge moves closer, it may keep portions of the area dry.

Monday...

With cold front possibly to the east, drier airmass should build
into the area. Some uncertainty here whether the day is dry or
whether a short wave can bring some diurnal showers to the area.
Will have slight chance to low chance pops.
