.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
SQUALL LINE IS PROGRESSING INTO WESTERN ZONES AT THIS TIME WITH
WARNINGS POSTED FOR STRONGER LINE SEGMENTS IN CHESHIRE...
FRANKLIN...HAMPDEN AND HARTFORD COUNTIES.
INTERESTING FEATURE RIGHT NOW IS PIECE OF LINE THAT IS BREAKING OFF
IN FRANKLIN COUNTY...WHICH IS SHOWING COMMA HEAD ROTATION PER KENX
RADAR AND IS LOCATED RIGHT ALONG WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THIS CELL
HAS POTENTIAL TO BECOME TORNADIC AS IT HEADS TOWARD CHESHIRE COUNTY
DURING NEXT HOUR AND IS BEING MONITORED CLOSELY. SO FAR ROTATION IS
BROAD AND IN FACT IS ANTICYCLONIC.
LINE OF STORMS SHOULD REACH CENTRAL MA BEFORE 8 PM AND SHOULD MAKE
IT TO I-95 CORRIDOR FROM BOS TO PVD AROUND 830 PM.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
...HIGH WIND EVENT THIS EVENING...
.SYNOPSIS...
UNSEASONABLY MILD EARLY THIS EVENING...FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGE LATE THIS EVENING ACCOMPANIED BY LOW TOPPED CONVECTION AND
POTENTIALLY DAMAGING WINDS.
TEMPS BACK TO NEAR NORMAL TEMPS BY SUNDAY AND THEN BELOW NORMAL
EARLY NEXT WEEK.
COASTAL LOW SHOULD CLIP SOUTHEASTERN NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY NIGHT IN
EARLY MONDAY. SOME ACCUMULATION IS POSSIBLE.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
FRONT JUST NORTH OF CWA. COLD FRONT ACROSS CENTRAL PA ATTM MARCHING
EAST. VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE SEEN ON WATER VAPOR. UPSTREAM RADARS DO
SHOW CONVECTIVE LINES MOVING QUICKLY NORTHEAST. LITTLE CHANGE TO
GRIDS EXCEPT TO PUSH BACK TIMING SOMEWHAT OF PRECIP. INTERPRETATION
OF LATEST DATA SUGGEST THAT THERE IS A NARROW OPPORTUNITY FOR 50 KT
GUST JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THIS PERIOD WILL ALSO BE ACCOMPANIED
WITH LOW TOPPED CONVECTION. TIMING IS STILL FROM 01Z (8 PM) FOR THE
WESTERN SECTIONS UNTIL MIDNIGHT IN THE EAST AS THE MAIN LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM TRACKS INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. STRONG LOW LEVEL JET OF 70
KNOTS TRAVERSE THE REGION AND THUS PRESENTS THE DANGER.
WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS NEAR 60 SHOULD RESULT IN A COUPLE HUNDRED
J/KG OF CAPE. WITH SO MUCH FORCING THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO GET A
NARROW COLD FRONTAL RAIN BAND WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP
JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. ALTHOUGH THE INVERSION WILL KEEP THE
STRONGEST WINDS FROM MIXING DOWN...THE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY IN THE WARM SECTOR SHOULD BE ABLE TO BRING DOWN 45 TO 55
MPH WIND GUSTS. THEREFORE...ALL AREAS TO THE SOUTH OF THE
MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE REMAIN IN A HIGH WIND WARNING...WITH AREAS TO
THE NORTH IN THE ADVISORY.
INTENSE LOW LEVEL SHEAR SUPPORTS ISOLATED TORNADOES...ESPECIALLY
WESTERN SECTIONS. THUS...WATCHING FOR ROTATION IN ANY CELLS THAT
DEVELOP. WITH CELL MOTION AT NEARLY 70 KTS...ANY POSSIBLE TOR SHOULD
BE SHORT LIVED...BUT COVER A MODERATELY LONG SWATH OF AREA. SEE
STORM PREDICTION CENTER PRODUCTS FOR DETAILS.
THE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL QUICKLY COME TO AN END
THIS EVENING. HOWEVER...COLD ADVECTION AND THE CHANGE IN PRESSURE
WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR 45 TO 55 MPH WESTERLY WIND GUSTS FOR A
FEW HOURS AS THE COOLER AIR MOVES INTO THE REGION. IT WILL TAKE
SOMETIME FOR THE REAL CHILLY AIR TO MOVE INTO OUR REGION...SO WILL
FOLLOW MAV LOWS WITH READINGS EXPECTED TO FALL INTO THE LOW TO MID
40S ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS...WITH SOME 30S IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
TIGHT GRADIENT PERSISTS SATURDAY INTO SAT NIGHT. WITH FAST WEST FLOW
AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING...LOOKS DRY THRU WEEKEND.
SUNDAY...WINDS ABATE AS THE HIGH MOVES ACROSS LOCAL AREA AND
OFFSHORE.
TEMPS NEAR NORMAL.
SUNDAY NIGHT...LOOKS LIKE A CLOSE CALL FOR A PROGRESSIVE RAPIDLY
DEEPENING COASTAL LOW. TEMPS WILL BE BOARDER LINE FOR SNOW ON THE
CAPE. POPS WERE INCREASED AS SREF/CANADIAN GSM/NAM AND MREF SUGGEST
UP TO 0.25 LIQUID FROM THE BOS TO PVD AND SOUTHEAST. THIS IS A LOT
CLOSER THAT PREVIOUS THINKING.
STAY TUNED FOR MORE ON THIS CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED EVENT.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
PROGRESSIVE SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS NEW ENG...AND LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPS WELL SOUTHEAST OF ACK. MOST GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS PROG LOW
POSITION OFFSHORE WITH THIS LOW...SO COASTAL LOCALES...EXTREME SE
WILL BE THE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO ANY RAIN/SNOW. VERY QUICK LOOK AT
12Z NAM INDICATES A POSITION MUCH CLOSER TO THE COAST. WILL HAVE TO
KEEP AN EYE ON LATER RUNS...BUT FOR NOW...WILL LEAN TOWARD
ENSEMBLE...HPC AND KEEP LOW FURTHER OFFSHORE.
THIS STORM EXITS QUICKLY AND NEXT SHORTWAVE SWINGS ACROSS GRTLKS
REGION TOWARD NEW ENGLAND LATER TUESDAY. SOME SNOW SHOWERS ACCOMPANY
THIS LOW LATE TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.
THIS TROUGH AXIS MOVES EAST AS WEDNESDAY PROGRESSES AND STRONG HIGH
PRESSURE BUILD ACROSS MID WEST BEHIND COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE.
TEMPS MUCH MORE SEASONABLE THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD.
&&
.AVIATION...
WARM SECTOR IS OVER THE REGION WITH STRONG COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS
EVENING. GENERALLY IFR WITH AREAS OF LIFR CONDITIONS THIS EVENING.
PASSING SHOWERS WILL LOWER VSBY INTO THE 3-5SM CATEGORY AT TIMES.
MAIN EVENT OF LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AND CONVECTION OCCURS FROM 00 TO
06Z. LOW LEVEL JET TO CAUSE COMPRESSION CONCERNS AT LOGAN THIS
EVENING. 60 KT LOW LEVEL JET OVER LOGAN BY 00Z.
FOLLOWING FRONT...EXPECT GUSTS OF 35 TO 45 KTS. THESE DO DIMINISH TO
25 TO 35 KT IN VFR CONDITIONS ON SATURDAY (SOME MVFR CIGS
WEST)...BUT GENERAL AVIATION SHOULD EXPECT AT LEAST MODERATE LOW
LEVEL MECHANICAL TURBULENCE ON SATURDAY. SEE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER
FORECASTS FOR DETAILS.
&&
.MARINE...
STRONG GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE WATERS
THIS EVENING. CONFIDENT IS HIGH. STORM WARNINGS FOR OUR SOUTHERN
OUTER-WATERS AND NANTUCKET SOUND TONIGHT WHERE MODELS STILL SUGGEST
50 KNOT WIND GUSTS FOR NANTUCKET. SEAS WILL QUICKLY BUILD TO
BETWEEN 10 AND 14 FEET ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN OPEN WATERS TONIGHT AS
THE WINDS RAPIDLY INCREASE.
IN LONGER TERM...GALE FORCE WINDS WILL LINGER SAT OVER MOST OF
WATERS BEFORE WINDS AND SEAS FINALLY DIMINISH SAT NIGHT. NEXT SYSTEM
PASSES QUICKLY JUST SE OF NEW ENGLAND EARLY MON WILL BRING
INCREASING WINDS AND SEAS... BUT MORE LIKELY STAYING WITHIN SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY RANGE AT THIS TIME.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
RAINFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD GENERALLY BE ON THE ORDER OF 0.50 AND 1.00
INCHES. HOWEVER...LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS SHOULD OCCUR IN THE
CONVECTION WITH SOME 1 TO 2 INCH AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. POOR DRAINAGE
STREET FLOODING WILL OCCUR WITH THE HEAVY LINE OF SHOWERS THIS
EVENING...BUT NO SERIOUS FLOODING PROBLEMS ARE EXPECTED.
&&
.CLIMATE...
PRELIMINARY NOVEMBER CLIMATE SUMMARIES HAVE BEEN ISSUED. IT
CERTAINLY WAS A WARM MONTH AND WAS IN THE TOP 5 FOR ALL FOUR LONG
