Area forecast discussion, Jun 12, 3:00 PM EST, 1 hour 30 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA 400 PM EDT SUN JUN 12 2005 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)... THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE THIS EVENING IN NORTHERN AND WESTERN SECTIONS. WINDS THIS MORNING AT 500 MB WERE AT 20 KTS...A SMIDGE FASTER THAN YESTERDAYS 15 KTS. PER ETA BUFKIT THESE WINDS ARE FORECAST TO PICK UP A LITTLE MORE...TO AROUND 25 KTS. WET BULB ZERO WAS AROUND 14.4 THOUSAND FEET THIS MORNING. PRECIPITABLE WATER WAS 1.9 TO 2.2 INCHES. WE EXPECT MAINLY RAIN FROM THESE STORMS WITH SMALL HAIL POSSIBLE. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE WE COULD GET A STRONG WIND GUST FROM A COLLAPSING CELL. WILL GO WITH LIKELY POPS IN THE NORTH AND WEST EARLY...THEN DIMINISH TO NO POPS OVERNIGHT. WITH HIGH DEWPOINTS...LIGHT WINDS INLAND...AND WET GROUND FROM SHOWERS...WILL GO WITH AREAS OF FOG TONIGHT. MONDAY LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER UNSTABLE DAY. COMPLICATING THINGS IS THE APPROACH OF THE REMAINS OF ARLENE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES. MOST OF WHAT WE WILL SEE MONDAY WILL BE HIGH AND MID CLOUDS...BUT WITH CONTINUED HIGH MOISTURE VALUES AND INSTABILITY. LIFTED INDEX IS FORECAST AT -2 TO -4 WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER AROUND 2 INCHES. SO WE WILL GO WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS...WITH LIKELY POPS IN THE CT VALLEY/SW NH/WORCESTER HILLS VICINITY...AND CHANCE POPS FARTHER EAST. AN ONSHORE WIND MAY STABILIZE THE SOUTH COAST FOR A TIME...BUT EVEN THESE PARTS WILL BE SUBJECT TO CONVECTION MOVING IN FROM ELSEWHERE LATE IN THE DAY. MIN TEMPS ARE BASED ON CURRENT DEWPOINTS...WITH MOST OF THE REGION A DEGREE OR TWO EITHER SIDE OF 70 AND COOLER ALONG THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. TEMPS ALOFT OF 17C-19C WOULD SUPPORT LOWER 90S...BUT THE EXTRA CLOUDS FROM ARLENE MAY KEEP US A LITTLE BELOW FULL MIXING. WILL GO WITH TEMPS SIMILAR TO TODAY...GENERALLY UPPER 80S AND AROUND 90 AWAY FROM THE SOUTH COAST AND ISLANDS. && .LONG TERM (MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY) COLD FRONT DROPS SOUTH FROM NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND MONDAY NIGHT THEN STALLS OVER THE FORECAST AREA. THE FRONT BECOMES PARALLEL TO THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW AS IT BUMPS INTO THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE. GENERALLY RELIED ON THE ETA MODEL THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY ESPECIALLY WITH RESPECT TO TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS. IT APPEARS THE ETA HAS A BETTER HANDLE ON THE LOW LEVEL RESOLUTION AND PROGRESSION OF THIS FRONT. THE REMNANTS OF ARLENE WILL CROSS THE FORECAST AREA ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES CONTINUE AROUND 2G/KG. GOOD MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND LOTS OF ELEVATED INSTABILITY WITH K INDICES RISING TO NEAR 40. HPC PRECIPITATION FORECAST SUGGESTS A WIDESPREAD 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL POSSIBLE WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE IN THUNDERSTORMS. THE REMNANTS OF ARLENE EJECT EASTWARD TUESDAY NIGHT. THEREAFTER A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WITH MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE ASSOCIATED SHORT WAVE DISTURBANCE WILL LIFT NE INTO CANADA FRIDAY WITH DRIER NORTHWEST FLOW EXPECTED BY THAT TIME. A MODERATING TEMPERATURE TREND SHOULD BE IN STORE ONCE AGAIN BY EARLY NEXT WEEK AS WINDS TURN MORE WESTERLY AND AS THE 500 MILLIBAR HEIGHTS BEGIN TO RISE. && .AVIATION... IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS ON NANTUCKET AS A FOG BACK ROLLS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS...THIS SHOULD LESSEN DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND THEN REBUILD TONIGHT AS TEMPERATURES COOL. FOG AND STRATUS WILL BE MORE PATCHY ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION...WITH IFR CONDITIONS WHERE IT FORMS AND VFR ELSEWHERE. && .MARINE... WINDS AT OR BELOW 20 KTS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. SEAS CONTINUE AT LEVELS ABOUT 2/3 OF WHAT IS FORECAST BY THE WNA MODEL. WILL MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT TO THOSE VALUES...WHICH WILL KEEP OUR WATERS BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. LONG TERM...THE WNA IS CONTINUES TO BE OVERDOING SOUTHERLY SWELL WITH LOW LEVEL INVERSION PRESENT, SO WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP SEAS BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. && .HYDROLOGY... PRECIPITABLE WATER WAS 1.9 TO 2.2 INCHES. FLASH FLOOD INDICES CONTINUE AT 2.5 TO 3.0 INCHES. THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING...SO TRAINING DOESNT SEEM A PROBLEM. EVEN SO...HEAVY DOWNPOURS COULD BRING AN INCH OR MORE IN A SHORT TIME. THIS COULD MEAN SOME LOCAL PONDING IN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS...BUT OVERALL NO FLOODING EXPECTED. && .BOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...NONE. MA...NONE. NH...NONE. RI...NONE. MARINE...NONE. && NEAR TERM...MCJ SHORT TERM...WTB LONG TERM...STRAUSS
