Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
436 PM EDT Tue Jul 17 2018

.SYNOPSIS...

Widespread showers and thunderstorms with locally damaging wind
gusts and isolated flash flooding continue into this
evening...before gradually diminishing in areal coverage and
intensity. Other than perhaps some lingering showers early
Wednesday across Cape Cod and Nantucket, dry weather is
anticipated the rest of the work week along with much lower
humidity including warm afternoons and cool nights. Unsettled
weather may return sometime Sunday into Monday along with
increasing humidity.

&&

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

* Localized Urban Flash Flooding Into Mid Evening
* Isolated Severe Thunderstorm Threat Into Early Evening

Localized urban flash flooding/isolated severe thunderstorms
will be the main concerns into mid evening...mainly across
eastern MA/RI. Cold front advecting into an anomalous airmass
with Pwats of 2+ inches above normal coupled with strong forcing
has resulted in widespread showers and thunderstorms with
localized torrential rainfall. Some locations have seen 2+
inches of rain in less than an hour...which has resulted in
localized urban flash flooding. So far the activity has remained
northwest of RI/SE MA...but this should change over the next
few hours as the cold front drops southeast. The activity should
begin to weaken some as it encounters a marine layer near the
south coast. Nonetheless...heavy rain and embedded
thunderstorms will still be possible along with some localized
urban flooding.

We still have MLCapes of near or even greater than 2000 J/KG
south of the MA Turnpike and away from the south coast. We have
had some isolated severe weather reports with wind damage
through late this afternoon. It appears limited deep layer
shear and poor mid level lapse rates will prevent this from
becoming a widespread severe weather event.
Nonetheless...isolated severe weather with localized wind damage
will be the main concern over the next few hours. In
addition...we can not rule out a brief weak tornado.

The activity should wind down from west to east this evening.
While the severe weather threat will diminish by mid evening
across eastern MA/RI...enough elevated instability will remain
for showers and embedded thunderstorms with locally heavy rain
to continue into the evening. In fact...areas along and
especially southeast of the Boston to Providence corridor may
see showers and embedded thunderstorms persist after midnight.

Low temperatures by daybreak will be in the 60s to near 70. Will
also have to watch for some low clouds and fog across the
Cape/Islands.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY/...

Wednesday...

A much better day of weather on tap for Wednesday behind the
cold front. Perhaps a few lingering showers across the
Cape/Islands into mid to late morning. Otherwise...becoming
mostly sunny with high temperatures into the 80s in most
locations although a bit cooler across portions of the
Cape/Islands. Much lower humidity though will make for a much
more comfortable day across the entire region.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

Highlights...

* Dry and much less humid later Wed thru Fri, possibly into Sat
* Highs 80-85 each afternoon and 50s at night
* Showers/storms and humid conditions return Sunday/Monday

Overview...

17.00z ensembles (ECENS & GEFS) show northeast trough Wednesday
departing and deamplifying which gives way to ridging Friday and
likely lingering into Saturday. At the surface this translates to a
cold front slowly exiting the Cape Wed followed by 1018 mb high
pressure building into New England Wed night/Thu and accompanied by
a much less humid airmass. The high then moves offshore Friday but
with ridge axis arcing back into New England thru Saturday.
Ensembles suggest northern stream remains active with robust mid
level trough entering the Great Lakes this weekend and taking on a
negative tilt along the eastern seaboard Sun/Mon. This will support
a return to more humid weather along with risk of showers/T-storms.

Temperatures...

850 mb temps begin Wed around +13C/+14C but then lower to about +11C
in the post frontal airmass Thu morning, but modify to +13C by days
end, yielding highs in the low 80s away from coastal seabreezes.
Airmass slow warms to about +15C Friday and Saturday which will
support highs in the mid 80s inland. However humidity remains
comfortable as seen by GEFS PWATs remaining below normal (1 to
2 standard deviations below normal) thru Sat with core of dry
air over the region Wed night into Thu. This dry airmass will
support lows in the 50s overnight, very comfortable. Also given
high pres overhead Thu ngt decided to lean toward the cooler MOS
guidance per ideal radiational cooling conditions. This dry
column will also yield plenty of sunshine Thu and Fri, possibly
Sat as well. 850 mb temps remain about +15C Sunday but do warm
to about +17C Mon. However the main story Sun/Mon will be the
increasing humidity as the low level flow becomes southerly and
advects dew pts into the 60s Sunday and then low to mid 70s
Monday!

Precipitation...

Any organized showers/T-storms will be focused across Cape Cod and
Nantucket Wed morning as slow moving cold front and frontal wave
move across this region in the morning. Trailing short wave sweeps
across the region later in the day along with attending cold front
moving offshore. Thus drying trend Wed which persist Thu, Fri and
likely into Sat. Next chance of showers/T-storms likely arrives Sun
and Mon as negative tilt mid level trough dives out of the Great
Lakes into the Mid Atlc region. Heavy rainers possible as
subtropical stream gets captured by negative tilt trough sending
PWATs of +1 to +2 standard deviations up the eastern seaboard into
New England Sun/Mon.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /through Tonight/...

Into Mid evening...Moderate confidence. Numerous showers and
thunderstorms with localized torrential rainfall will continue
to gradually press southeast across the region. Main focus will
be eastern MA and RI although some weakening should occur as
activity nears the south coast. A few of the storms may
continue to produce localized strong wind gusts. So while VFR
conditions may dominate outside the storms...IFR to even brief
LIFR conditions will be possible under the core of the storms.

Later This Evening Through Tonight...Moderate to high
confidence. Activity should weaken some as it gets southeast of
the Boston to Providence corridor this evening...but some
showers and embedded t-storms with brief heavy rain are still
possible. Conditions improve to VFR across most locations later
this evening. However...southwest flow will result in low
clouds and fog across the Cape/Islands.

Wednesday...High confidence. Lingering low clouds/fog patches
across the Cape/Islands during the morning lift by late
morning/early afternoon.  Otherwise...VFR conditions.

KBOS Terminal...Moderate confidence in TAF. Thunderstorms to
impact the terminal through 20 or 21z.

KBDL Terminal...Moderate confidence in TAF. Thunderstorms to
impact the terminal through 20 or 21z.

Outlook /Wednesday through Sunday/...

Wednesday through Thursday: VFR.

Thursday Night: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible.

Friday: VFR.

Friday Night: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Patchy BR.

Saturday: VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /through Tonight/...

Tonight...High confidence. Near shore southwest wind gusts of 25
knots should diminish this evening along with the marginal 5
foot seas across the outer-waters. Therefore...small craft
headlines will be allowed to expire by midnight. However...main
concern is a few strong storms across our near shore waters this
evening with gusty winds.

Wednesday...High confidence. Winds and seas should remain below
small craft thresholds. Some northeast wind gusts around 20
knots or so are possible across the Cape/Islands.

Outlook /Wednesday through Sunday/...

Wednesday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching
5 ft. Slight chance of rain showers, patchy fog.

Wednesday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft.

Thursday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching
5 ft.

Thursday Night through Friday Night: Winds less than 25 kt.

Saturday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft.
