Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
1011 AM EDT Tue Sep 18 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
The remnants of Florence will bring heavy rainfall along with
the threat for flash flooding today. High pressure will build
south from eastern Canada with a gusty northeast wind Wednesday
and Thursday. A warm front will lift north Thursday night, with
southerly winds bringing mild temperatures on Friday. A cold
front will sweep across the region Friday night, with mainly
dry but cooler conditions for the upcoming weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

10 AM Update...

Flash Flood Threat...

Already 2-4" of rainfall across northern MA! PWAT field
confirming remnants of Florence moving across the area with
PWATs up to 2.1 inches across CT/RI into eastern MA. Just as
impressive are dew pts now in the mid 70s (75F at IJD-EWB-
OWD!!!) Thus area of rain moving into a tropical environment.
Latest runs of the HRRR show this area of torrential rain over
northern MA holding together and maintaining its intensity as it
slides southward into tropical airmass and better instability
across CT/RI and southeast MA later this morning and afternoon.
Thus will continue with Flash Flood Watches for these areas.
Expect rainfall rates on the order of 1-2" per hour at times as
this torrential rainfall band over northern MA slides southward.

Tornado threat...

Bulk of heavy showers on the cool side of the boundary in the
northerly flow. Concern will be farther south in the warm sector
across CT/RI and south of the MA Pike where some low level
(0-3km) CAPE exist along with EHI (storm rotation maximized
where CAPE & SRH overlap) around 1. Risk of an isolated tornado
is very low in this area but not zero especially with frontal
wave developing and increasing low level shear in the presence
of low LCLs and high dew pts. Low level instability will be key.

Previous Discussion...

* Heavy rainfall and flash flood threat today *
* Low risk for a very localized tornado this morning *

Remnants of Florence will bring heavy rainfall today within
tropical environment with PWATs exceeding 2 inches, but
uncertainty remains in the location of the max QPF. GFS/NAM
focus heaviest rainfall across northern MA with much less near
the coast. WRF-ARW/NMM also show a max near MA/NH/VT border but
have a secondary max across eastern CT/RI and SE MA. HREF heavy
rainfall probs focus heaviest rainfall across northern MA.

Low level frontal boundary and assocd strong convergence will
initially focus heavy rain across northern MA this morning, then
axis of heavier rain will shift southward this afternoon as the
low level front moves south. It does appear the convergence
weakens a bit as the front moves south this afternoon. However,
models indicate better instability south of the Pike this
afternoon with CAPES up to 1000 J/kg so potential for a few
t-storms with heavy rainfall rates across eastern CT/RI and SE
MA, although this may be more localized. Will continue flash
flood watches with greatest risk likely across northern MA where
HREF indicating highest probs of 3+ inches of rain. Expected
rainfall of 1-3 inches, heaviest northern MA where locally
higher amounts possible, but amounts could be less than an inch
near the south coast.

Regarding severe weather threat, MUCAPES forecast to increase
up to 500 J/kg toward 12z. Already seeing convective elements
developing across eastern PA/NJ where instability is greater.
Will have to watch this convection closely as it lifts NE. While
deep layer shear is marginal, approaching low level jet will
lead to increasing low level shear so will have to watch any
convection for possible rotating storms. RAP 0-1km shear
increases to 25-30 kt with 0-1km helicity 200-300 units. Given
tropical environment with high dewpoints in the 70s and low
LCLs, there is a low risk for an isolated tornado this morning
across the interior if enough instability can be generated.
However, instability may be the missing ingredient as the low
level jet and resulting shear may be moving out of the area
before sufficient instability develops. Will monitor closely.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY/...
Showers and heavy rainfall threat will move south of the coast
this evening followed by a mostly dry night. However, areas of
drizzle may develop overnight in eastern New Eng as NE flow
develops. There is a strong signal for stratus and fog
overspreading the region from the Gulf of Maine.

&&

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

* Fast wind flow aloft will bring changeable conditions into
  next weekend
* A warm front pushes north Thu night, followed by a cold front
  late Fri night into early Sat
* Below normal temperatures through mid week, then briefly mild
  late week before a return to cool readings

Overview...

H5 short wave will push E through around midday Wednesday.
There may be a few leftover showers or some spotty drizzle
during the morning, then conditions should improve though it
will remain cool with a gusty northeasterly wind. Mid level
ridging builds across the Great Lakes into south central
Canada, keeping a general W-NW steering flow in place across
the northeast through most of this period. High pressure builds
across through mid week, bringing dry conditions but a
persistent onshore wind flow that will keep temperatures below
normal.

A short wave rides eastward in the fast flow aloft by late this
week, with a warm front approaching Thu night into Fri. A few
showers may push into NW Mass Thu night with the front, but most
of the precip looks to remain out of the region. Winds will
shift to southerly by around daybreak Friday. Dewpoints will
increase as well, so there could be some patchy fog developing
during the early morning hours Fri. Will see mild temps, with
readings topping off in the 70-75 degree range Fri afternoon.
However, with the mid level ridge pushing across the region,
will see another cold front approach Fri night, bringing
scattered showers and possibly a few thunderstorms.

The front pushes offshore Sat morning, with another large high
building out of central Canada. This will bring another shot of
dry but cool conditions through the upcoming weekend into early
next week.

.AVIATION /14Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /through Tonight/...

14z update...

Torrential rainfall at times today with hourly rainfall rates on
the order of 1-2 inches per hour at times. Significant wind
shift from SSW to NNW moving across the region from NW to SE
today. Mainly MVFR but IFR at times. Earlier discussion below.

=================================================================

Through Today...Moderate confidence.
Variable conditions, mainly IFR-LIFR across central and N Mass
in -RA with areas of +RA, ranging to MVFR and even some low end
VFR conditions across SE Mass at 11Z. As more organized precip
shifts E-NE across the region this morning, will see more
widespread MVFR-IFR conditions as RA/+RA. Isold +TSRA initially
focused across western and northern MA this morning will move
south toward the coast through the afternoon. Conditions may
improve to VFR aft 18z western MA and CT Valley. Risk of LLWS
over SE New England.

Tonight...Moderate confidence.
Continued MVFR-IFR CIGS across central and eastern New Eng with
VFR in the west. Rain near the south coast will move offshore
in the evening. IFR stratus will redevelop and overspread
eastern New Eng from the Gulf of Maine after midnight within
developing N-NE flow. Areas of drizzle and fog also possible.

KBOS Terminal...Moderate confidence in TAF. Should see mainly
MVFR CIGS/VSBYS through the remainder of the morning push, then
should lower to IFR as heavier RA/+RA moves in, probably by
15Z-17Z. Still uncertain on exact timing of the lower
conditions.

KBDL Terminal...Moderate confidence in TAF. Uncertainty lies
with the exact timing of onset of heaviest showers and lower
conditions.

Outlook /Wednesday through Saturday/...

Wednesday: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Breezy.

Wednesday Night through Thursday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR
possible. Breezy.

Thursday Night: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Slight
chance SHRA.

Friday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Breezy. Slight
chance SHRA.

Friday Night: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Breezy.
Slight chance SHRA, patchy BR.

Saturday: VFR. Breezy.

Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /through Tonight/...

10 AM update...

SSW winds 15-20 kt with gusts up to 25 kt but wind shift line
slipping southward down the NH/ME coastline with a wind shift to
the NNE with gusts up to 25 kt. Torrential downpours in showers
thru the afternoon. Previous discussion below.

=================================================================

Today...Moderate confidence.
Modest low level jet will result in S-SW wind gusts increasing
to 25 kt, especially over south coastal waters with building
seas to 5 ft. SCA headlines will continue. Bands of heavy
showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected with the
remnants of Florence. Fog patches are possible too...both which
may reduce vsbys for mariners at times.

Tonight...Moderate confidence.
Winds shift to N then NE, increasing to 15-25 kt late tonight,
especially over eastern MA waters. Vsbys may be reduced in fog
at times.

Outlook /Wednesday through Saturday/...
