...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 445 PM EDT THIS 
AFTERNOON FOR EAST CENTRAL WINDHAM, SOUTHWESTERN BRISTOL, BRISTOL, 
KENT, NEWPORT, PROVIDENCE AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES...

At 239 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy 
rain across the warned area. Between 1.5 and 2.5 inches of rain have 
fallen. The expected rainfall rate is 1 to 2 inches in 1 hour. While 
rainfall rates have started to level off from earlier excessive 
levels, additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches are possible, 
as heavy rains and embedded thunderstorms over Long Island New York 
will move into the warned area. Flash flooding is already occurring, 
and worsened or new areas of flooding are anticipated as more heavy 
rain moves into the warned area.

HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.

SOURCE...Law enforcement and trained weather spotters. Law
         enforcement reports several roads in East Providence are
         flooded and impassable, including a portion of Pawtucket
         Ave near Allerton Ave. Oaklawn Ave in Cranston is also
         flooded and impassable per trained spotters.

IMPACT...Flash flooding of urban areas, highways, streets and
         underpasses as well as other poor drainage and low-lying
         areas. Urban flash flooding is likely in Providence and
         Cranston areas. Sharp rises to potentially over bankfull
         are likely on streams and creeks.

Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Providence, Fall River, Warwick, Cranston, Pawtucket, East 
  Providence, Woonsocket, Coventry, Cumberland, North Providence, 
  South Kingstown, West Warwick, Johnston, North Attleborough, North 
  Kingstown, Newport, Bristol, Attleboro, Westerly and Smithfield.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood 
deaths occur in vehicles.

Move to higher ground now. Act quickly to protect your life.

Stay away or be swept away. River banks and culverts can become 
unstable and unsafe.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
1149 AM EDT Sun Jul 16 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
A very wet day is in store with downpours and thunderstorms
leading to urban, poor drainage, and flash flooding across much
of the region. Drying out for Monday before rain chances
increase Tuesday as another cold front approaches the region.
Unsettled pattern leads to periods of dry and wet weather
through the end of the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1145 AM Update:

* Severe threat slowly diminishing - now focusing in E CT,
  central/NE MA, and NW RI

* Significant flash flood threat continues

We've removed Hartford County CT and Franklin, Hampshire, and
Hampden Counties in western MA from the Tornado Watch now that
the main area of showers/storms have pushed off to the east. Our
main area of concern is now within the corridor of showers and
storms running from E CT and NW RI into central and NE MA. We
still have plenty of instability, especially focused in the
0-3km layer, and sufficient 0-1km/0-500m helicity but the best
surface vorticity is now somewhat removed from the max
instability. So while we still have a continued severe/tornado
threat, the chances have begun to diminish a bit.

Expectation is for short-lived circulations to persist into
afternoon given environment in place. This is one of the more
impressive situations we've seen in a while regarding the
tornado threat. Although we do expect any tornadoes to be short-
lived, they will be capable of producing damage.

Our attention is also focused on flash flood threat which should
not be overlooked as main area of showers/storms moves through
region. Potential exists for rainfall rates of 2"+/hr in this
tropical airmass, and we won't be surprised to see rainfall
totals of 4-6"+ where showers/storms persist.

Finally, we are reviewing latest high-res model data which
suggests the potential for another round of heavy rainfall and
possible flooding in RI and SE MA this evening.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM MONDAY/...
Downpour and shower activity continue into the early overnight hours
tonight, though thunderstorm coverage should wane a bit after sunset
as instability falls off with the loss of daytime heating. Clearing
from west to east will occur beginning around 03Z as the cold front
begins to shift low level winds to the west. Precipitation should be
wrapped up across all areas by 06Z, with the exception of the Cape
and Islands, where showers may linger through about 09Z. Some breaks
of sunshine should develop by sunrise across the western half of the
CWA!

Unfortunately, the cold front will not trigger much relief from the
oppressive dewpoints that have been with us for the last few days,
so temperatures wont budge much overnight, falling back only into
the low-mid 70s once again.

&&

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

* Little change in the overall weather pattern next week with broad
  troughing over the east coast bringing another round of rain
  chances Tuesday. After a break Wed/Thu rain returns late week.

* Warm and humid weather continues but dewpoints will finally drop
  to the mid-upper 60s by Wednesday into Thursday so it won't feel
  quite as muggy, at least for a while.

Details...

Monday through Tuesday...

Global guidance offers no long term pattern change when we look at
the 500 mb height field and the western U.S. ridge, eastern U.S.
trough pattern. While we do get several reprieves from the unsettled
weather this week, we'll remain periodically unsettled clear through
next weekend thanks to this pattern.

Monday will start wet in the very early morning hours but the plume
of deep moisture moves east, offshore on Monday into early Tuesday
with subtle mid level height rises which will keep SNE dry with a
mix of clouds and sun. This dry weather will persist into Tuesday
though we'll see clouds increasing ahead of an approaching trough
and surface front. This feature moves through late Tuesday with the
return of PWATs 1.5-2 inches which will bring the return of showers
and thunderstorms. Models indicate a decent chance of some of these
storms becoming strong to severe with CAPE over 1000 J/kg, low level
lapse rates of 7.5c/km, and bulk shear of 30-35 kts. Key will be
timing of the frontal forcing which, if it is too delayed would not
be able to take advantage of the instability. Flash flooding will
still be a concern in any downpours, given the wet antecedent
conditions.

Wednesday through Saturday...

Finally a more substantial push of drier air for the whole region
behind Tuesday night's front. Beneath modest mid level ridging
dewpoints drop well into the 60s and PWATs into the 0.5-0.75 inch
range through Thursday. Height rises and subsidence beneath a
surface high should keep rain away until sometime around Thursday
night/Friday when moisture surges north ahead of our next trough.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Forecast Confidence
Levels:

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

12Z Update...

Today... High confidence in trends, moderate in timing

Overnight fog/IFR conditions that developed across the
south coast and Islands overnight will lift to MVFR, MVFR/IFR
elsewhere with widespread drenching showers and thunderstorms.
Conditions this morning, between 12-16Z, look particularly poor
for western terminals with the possibility of a near stationary
convective line forming near or along the I-84 corridor. Variety
of TSRA and VCTS used at most terminals today, with the
exception of the Cape and Islands. Heavy rain/thunderstorm
threat begins to shift east after ~20Z. Gusty south/southwest
winds possible, up to 20-30kt possible.

Tonight...Moderate confidence in timing

Downpours and thunderstorms taper off from west to east, with
most terminals free of rain by 06Z, though some showers may
linger across the Cape until 09Z. IFR/MVFR to begin the evening,
lifting to MVFR/VFR by daybreak. A few thunderstorms possible
overnight but confidence on coverage is much less after 00Z,
thus, elected to leave out of the TAF. Winds shifting from the
S/SW to the WSW as cold front approaches from the west.

Monday... High confidence

Lingering MVFR along the eastern MA coastline and Cape through
15Z, otherwise VFR with clearing skies. Light westerly winds
shift to the SW by afternoon.

KBOS TAF...High confidence in trends, moderate in timing.

Shower activity becoming more widespread Sun AM with embedded
thunder mid AM into the afternoon as a line of showers/storms
moves in. Could see briefly higher gusts/heavy downpours if the
line moves over the terminal. Still could have some thunder
during the afternoon, but coverage appearing more spotty in
nature. MVFR develops overnight, VFR possible by 12Z.

KBDL TAF...High confidence in trends, moderate in timing.

MVFR to IFR, heavy downpours and thunderstorms develop after
10Z this morning, becoming more widespread through 16Z as a near
stationary convective line develops somewhere in the vicinity
of BDL. Rain and thunderstorms expected all day, gradually
deteriorating after 00Z tonight. MVFR improving to VFR by
daybreak with a windshift to the west; 5-10kt.

Outlook /Monday through Thursday/...
