AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1105 AM EDT TUE JUN 5 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT APPROACHING SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TODAY WILL LIKELY
BRING SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO THE NORTHWEST OF A BOSTON TO
PROVIDENCE LINE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  UNSEASONABLY COOL AIR
WILL FOLLOW ON WEDNESDAY...FOLLOWED BY A BRIEF RETURN TO WARM AND
HUMID WEATHER AWAY FROM THE COAST BY FRIDAY.  A COLD FRONT WILL
BRING THE CHANCE FOR MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SOMETIME FRIDAY
EVENING OR NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY COOLER WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 4 PM THIS AFTERNOON/...
CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURE THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD BE 78-80 DEGREES.
CONVECTION APPROACHING CAPE COD FROM THE SOUTHWEST WEAKENING TO SOME
EXTENT AS THEY MOVE INTO THE MORE STABLE MARINE LAYER FROM THIS
MORNING. ISOLATED SHOWERS ALREADY POPPING UP ACROSS NW MA INTO SRN
VT...EXPECT THIS TREND TO ACCELERATE BETWEEN NOON AND 2 PM. SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS ARE A POSSIBILITY...MAINLY FROM STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS AND
HAIL.

WIND FIELD IS FAIRLY IMPRESSIVE WITH 35-40 KTS IN THE MID LEVELS
INCREASING TO 45 KTS LATE TODAY ACROSS W ZONES. THERE WILL BE
SUFFICIENT DEEP LAYER SHEAR FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION WITH LINEAR
FORCING FROM CDFNT POSSIBLY ALLOWING FOR A SQUALL LINE MOVING INTO
SNE THIS AFTERNOON. BEST CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE IN THE
INTERIOR AND WE CONTINUED ENHANCED WORDING...MAINLY NW OF I95
CORRIDOR. WE THINK ANY TSTMS WILL TEND TO WEAKEN AS THEY APPROACH THE
COAST DUE TO MARINE INFLUENCE FROM SW FLOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM /4 PM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY/...
WE WILL CONTINUE CHC SHWRS/TSTMS THIS EVENING AS FRONT MOVES
THROUGH...THEN CLEARING SKIES EXPECTED OVERNIGHT.  IT WILL BE CHILLY
WITH TEMPS COOLING INTO THE UPPER 40S NW ZONES AND MID/UPPER 50S
ALONG THE COAST.

HIGH SURF ADVISORY ALONG THE SOUTH COAST CONTINUES UNTIL 6 PM BUT
WILL EVENTUALLY NEED TO BE EXTENDED INTO WED MORNING DUE TO HIGHER
SWELLS PERSISTING.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
DESPITE 850 MB TEMPERATURES FALLING TO AROUND +5C BY WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON...THE STRONG JUNE SUN ANGLE COMBINED WITH WESTERLY SURFACE
WINDS SHOULD ALLOW FOR A SUPER-ADIABATIC ATMOSPHERE.  MAV GUIDANCE
SEEMS REASONABLE WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 70S ACROSS MUCH OF THE
REGION...WITH UPPER 60S ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN.  SKIES SHOULD
START OFF SUNNY...BUT WITH VERY COLD AIR ALOFT /500 MB TEMPERATURES
DROPPING TO -20C/ MOVING OVERHEAD WE SHOULD SEE A FAIR AMOUNT OF
DIURNAL CUMULUS DEVELOP.  IN ADDITION...ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE REGION
WILL STAY DRY...THE COLD AIR ALOFT MAY TRIGGER ISOLATED
SHOWERS/SPRINKLES DURING THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING.  WILL INCLUDE
A 15 TO 20 POP TO COVER THIS POTENTIAL...ALTHOUGH THE VAST MAJORITY
OF THE REGION WILL PROBABLY NOT SEE ANY PRECIPITATION.

DIURNAL CUMULUS SHOULD QUICKLY DISSIPATE WEDNESDAY EVENING AS THE
BOUNDARY LAYER COOLS.  OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE QUITE CHILLY FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR.  WITH LIGHT WINDS AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECT AN
IDEAL NIGHT OF RADIATIONAL COOLING.  OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD FALL INTO
THE 40S ACROSS THE OUTLYING AREAS WITH EVEN A FEW UPPER 30S EXPECTED
ACROSS FAR NORTHWEST MA AND SOUTHWEST NH.  MEANWHILE...THE URBAN
HEAT ISLAND OF BOSTON CAN EXPECT TO SEE LOWS IN THE LOWER 50S.

THURSDAY SHOULD BE ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL JUNE DAY...ALTHOUGH A BIT
MILDER THAN WEDNESDAY.  HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD RECOVER WELL INTO
THE 70S ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS...ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE A FEW DEGREES
COOLER ALONG THE COAST AS WEAK GRADIENT PROMOTES SEA BREEZES.  SKIES
SHOULD START OFF SUNNY...BUT WE SHOULD SEE A GRADUAL INCREASE IN MID
AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS IN RESPONSE TO WARMING ADVECTION ALOFT.
BOUNDARY LAYER IS QUITE DRY SO WILL NOT INSERT ANY PRECIPITATION
INTO THE FORECAST.  HOWEVER...CAN NOT RULE OUT A BRIEF PASSING
SPRINKLE FALLING THROUGH A MID LEVEL CLOUD DECK IN THE AFTERNOON OR
EARLY EVENING.

WARMER MID LEVEL AIR CONTINUES TO RAPIDLY MOVE IN FROM THE WEST ON
FRIDAY...AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.  GFS HAS 850 MB
TEMPERATURES WARMING TO +18C IN THE CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY BY 00Z
SATURDAY.  THEREFORE...HAVE TACKED ON A FEW DEGREES TO THE LATEST
MEX GUIDANCE AND GONE FOR HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S ACROSS THE
INTERIOR.  WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME PLACES IN THE
CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY TOUCH 90.  SOUTH SOUTHEASTERLY BOUNDARY
LAYER WINDS ALONG THE EASTERN HALF OF THE REGION MAY KEEP THINGS
THERE A BIT COOLER.  HIGHS GENERALLY SHOULD BE IN THE UPPER 70S TO
LOWER 80S ACROSS THIS REGION.

A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FRIDAY EVENING WILL BRING THE CHANCE OF
MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.  WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS TO COVER
THIS POTENTIAL FRIDAY NIGHT.  IT ALSO SHOULD BE RATHER MUGGY OUT
AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT AND TACKED ON A FEW DEGREES TO MEX
GUIDANCE LOWS.  MOST LOCATIONS WILL PROBABLY NOT SEE THE MERCURY
DROP BELOW 60 FRIDAY NIGHT.

IF THE MODEL TRENDS STAY ON TRACK...MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD
EXIT THE COASTAL PLAIN SATURDAY MORNING.  HIGHS ON SATURDAY SHOULD
RECOVER INTO THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S WITH A RATHER MILD START.

ALL THE MODELS SHOW AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY
AND MONDAY.  THIS SHOULD KEEP THINGS COOL BY JUNE STANDARDS WITH
HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 70S...WHICH MEX GUIDANCE REFLECTS WELL.  FOR
NOW WILL KEEP THE FORECAST DRY SINCE ITS 6 TO 7 DAYS IN THE FUTURE
AND CONFIDENCE IS LOW.  HOWEVER...CAN NOT RULE OUT A FEW SHOWERS FOR
A TIME WITH UPPER TROUGH OVERHEAD...BUT WHAT EVER HAPPENS IT LOOKS
LIKE MOST OF THE TIME SHOULD BE RAIN FREE.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
CONDITIONS IMPROVING TO VFR FAIRLY QUICKLY THIS MORNING AS LOW
CLOUDS/FOG BURN OFF. MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED INTO THE
AFTERNOON WITH SCATTERED CU AND BKN MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS...BUT
CONDITIONS MAY LOWER BRIEFLY TO MVFR/IFR FOR INTERIOR TERMINALS AS
SHOWERS/TSTMS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT MOVE THROUGH. EXPECT CONVECTION
TO WEAKEN AS IT APPROACHES THE COAST DUE TO STABILIZING SW FLOW OFF
COOLER OCEAN. DECENT LOW LEVEL JET AHEAD OF COLD FRONT WILL RESULT IN
GUSTY SW WINDS TODAY AND SOUNDINGS SUGGEST G25 KTS POSSIBLE.

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TONIGHT WITH JUST SCT MID/HIGH CLOUDS. WINDS
WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST AND GRADUALLY DIMINISH. IF WINDS
DO DIMINISH...THERE COULD BE POCKETS OF LATE NIGHT FOG IN THE VALLEY
LOCATIONS...ESPECIALLY IF THEY GET ANY RAINFALL.

FOR THE LONG TERM PERIOD...
EXPECT GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS WITH HIGH PRESSURE FOR WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY.

MAY SEE MVFR CONDITIONS STARTING FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT AS A
WARMER AND MORE HUMID AIRMASS INVADES THE REGION AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT.  IN ADDITION...THE POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR
LOWER CEILINGS AND VSBYS.  WE MAY EVEN HAVE A PERIOD OF IFR
CONDITIONS.  CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE TO VFR FROM WEST TO EAST
SOMETIME ON SATURDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
IN THE SHORT TERM...WE CONTINUED SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR ALL WATERS
TODAY DUE TO COMBINATION OF SWELL AND WIND.  44008 STILL REPORTING
10 FT SEAS WITH 8 FT AT 44008.  WIND GUSTS TO 25 KTS EXPECTED OVER
THE NEARSHORE WATERS TODAY WHERE MIXING WILL BE GREATEST COMPARED TO
OUTER WATERS. SWELL WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE TONIGHT AND WINDS WILL
SHIFT TO THE WEST AND DIMINISH LATE TONIGHT.  SCA FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS
WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT FOR ALL BUT BOS HARBOR...NARRAGANSETT BAT AND
CAPE COD BAY.

IN THE LONG TERM...LEFT OVER SWELL WILL FINALLY DROP BELOW 5 FEET
ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN OUTER-WATERS BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT.  OTHERWISE...IT
LOOKS QUIET ON THE WATERS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK WITH NO HEADLINES
EXPECTED.
