AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1032 PM EDT SAT OCT 25 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
A VIGOROUS COLD FRONT WILL BRING RAIN...WIND...AND POSSIBLY A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT. THIS FRONT WILL SWEEP OFFSHORE EARLY SUNDAY.
A NEW FRONT WILL APPROACH SUNDAY NIGHT WITH A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPING ALONG THE COAST EARLY NEXT WEEK WHICH WILL PROBABLY BRING
ANOTHER BOUT OF PRECIPITATION TO SNE. NO MATTER...DAYTIMES SHOULD BE
ABOUT 5 TO 10 DEGREES COLDER THAN NORMAL NEXT WED AND THU BEFORE LATE
WEEK MODERATION.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 5 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
WE HAVE GONE AHEAD AND PUT ALL OF RI AND ALL OF MA E OF BERKSHIRE
COUNTY IN HWW. GETTING NUMEROUS REPORTS OF TREES AND WIRES DOWN NOW
ACROSS WESTERN MA AND N CT...ESPECIALLY HARTFORD COUNTY. NAM
INTENSIFIES LLJ TO 80 KT AND 925 MB AND ALSO EXPANDS ITS NORTHWARD
EXTENT. SO FAR...NAM SEEMS TO HAVE HANDLED LLJ BEST. IN
ADDITION...LEAVES REMAINING ON MOST TREES LIKELY ADDING TO DAMAGE
REPORTS. RADAR SHOWING FINE LINE AHEAD OF CFROPA PASSING ACROSS CREST
OF BERKSHIRES AND APPROACHING HARTFORD COUNTY AT 0230Z.
VWP AT OKX SHOWING 65 KTS JUST BELOW 2K FEET. NAM HANDLING THIS LLJ
FARILY WELL WITH AXIS OF 60-65 KTS AT 925 MB FROM LI NWD THROUGH W
CT. NAM INDICATES CORE OF THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE COAST
03-06Z.
PREV DISCUSSION...
RAIN HAS BEEN A LITTLE SLOW TO GET GOING AND GRIDS MAY STILL BE TOO
FAST. WE RAN A PRE FIRST PRD FOR THE LEGACY PRODUCTS TO TRY TO SHOW
SOME TIMING.
ISO TSTMS E PA INTO NNJ. WE HAVE SEEN 38 KT AT TRENTON. AND 25 KT AT
WRI DURING MID AFTN. A COUPLE OF HIGHER ADVY THRESHOLD WINDS MAY HAVE
ESCAPED OUR ATTN UPSTREAM.
IN ANY CASE...WE LIKE THE ADVY POSTED BASED ON FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS
INTO NYC THIS EVE. AM NOT SURE OF TSTMS GOING UP INTO THE BERKS THIS
EVENING BUT AM MORE CONFIDENT OF TSTMS IN I THE 95 CORRIDOR 04Z-09Z.
QPF IS HPC 18Z GRIDDED DATA.
WINDS ARE GFS GUST ALG BASED. WE HAD NO MAVMOSGUDE FOR THE SHORT TERM
ON THE 12Z RUN OF THE GFS.
TEMPS MAY BE SLIGHTLY OFF THE NEAR STEADY GLIDESLOPE AND MAY BE UPDATED
AT 515 PM.
NPW ISSUED IN REGION WHERE BLV MOST LIKE TO REACH A SHORT PERIOD OF
SUSTAINED WINDS NEAR 31 MPH. THIS BASED ON 12Z NAM BL WIND FCST AS
COMBINED 12Z MET/MAV. WINDS ARE MARGINAL. VERIFICATION IS DIFFICULT
ON SE FLOW SO THERE IS NO GUARANTEE BUT WE SHOULD SEE A SMATTERING OF
ASOS/AWOS/WXFLOW/SKYWARN/WEBENTRY REPORTS. AGAIN MARGINAL.
ADDITIONALLY...WHILE ISSUED FOR SUSTAINED WIND... WE CANNOT DISCOUNT
THE ALERTING ASSISTANCE THIS PROVIDES IF CONVECTION OCCURS.
CONVECTIVE GUST COULD ALSO ASSIST VERIFICATION DURING THE NPW WIND OF
OPPORTUNITY. ALSO THIS ISSUANCE WAS SUPPORTED BY 70 TO 90 PCT PROB OF
SUSTAINED 25 KT SFC WINDS IN THE SREF FOR THIS EVE.
TSTM WIND GUST HAZARDS...E SLOPES BERKS IN THE 01Z-03Z TIME FRAME
FOR TRANSFER OF LLJ WIND AND THEN JUMP TO A NEW LINE DEVELOPING NEWD
FROM THE WATERS S OF LI INTO THE I95 CORRIDOR IN THE 04Z-07Z TIME
FRAME.
OTRW WE ARE TALKING OUR STANDARD FALL GUSTY SLY FLOW AHD OF A PACIFIC
COLD FRONT WITH WIND DRIVEN SHOWERS IN THE SLY LLJ. THE GALE WIND HAZARDS
AND TYPICAL BRIEF DRENCHING RAIN HAZARDS SHOULD BE FAIRLY WELL COVERED
IN THE GRIDS AND STMTS.
SKYWARN ACTIVATION 8PM TONIGHT WITH COORDINATORS IN THE OFFICE FOR A
TIME ARD 8PM.
WE MAY NEED A WARNGEN BASED AREAL FLOOD ADVISORY OF SOME SORT THIS
EVENING FOR HEAVY SHORT DURATION RFALL CAUSING DRAINAGE RUNOFF
PROBLEMS.
HWO HAS THE HAZARDS LISTED.
&&
.SHORT TERM /5 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
PACIFIC FRONTAL PASSAGE ENDS THE RAIN EARLY WITH ALMOST ABRUPT CLEARING.
SUNDAY LOOKS SO VERY FINE... QUITE PLEASANT FOR OCT 26.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SIGNIFICANT AMPLIFICATION OF UPPER TROF MOVING FROM GT LAKES INTO
NEW ENG MON AND TUE WILL RESULT IN COASTAL CYCLOGENESIS AS STRONG
HEIGHT FALLS MOVE OVER BAROCLINIC ZONE OVER THE OCEAN. 12Z GLOBAL
MODELS HAVE TRENDED WEST WHILE ECMWF REMAINS A WEST OUTLIER WITH
MORE NEG TILT TO UPPER TROF. GFS WAS FURTHEST EAST WITH COASTAL
CYCLOGENESIS. WE LEANED TOWARD UKMET/GGEM SOLUTION WHICH OFFERED
MORE OF A BLEND BETWEEN GFS AND ECMWF. THIS SCENARIO WOULD BRING
COASTAL LOW CLOSE ENOUGH TO BRING PRECIP INTO SNE MON NIGHT INTO TUE.
WE INTRODUCED SHOWERS TO INTERIOR SNE MON AFTERNOON AS DECENT QG
FORCING AND FGEN ASSOCD WITH APPROACHING UPPER TROF MOVE INTO THE
REGION. IT SHOULD BE A MILD DAY AHEAD OF THE TROF...ESPECIALLY
COASTAL PLAIN WHERE MORNING SUNSHINE SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS TO REACH THE
60S.
DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN THE EVOLUTION OF THIS POTENTIAL STORM...WE
WENT WITH JUST CHC POPS FOR MON NGT INTO TUE...BUT THERE COULD BE A
PERIOD OF HEAVY PRECIP DEPENDING ON THE STRENGTH AND TRACK OF THE
STORM. WITH A TRACK CLOSER TO THE COAST...PTYPE SHOULD BE MOSTLY
RAIN MON NGT BUT COULD CHANGE TO SNOW OVER HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE
BERKSHIRES TOWARD DAYBREAK TUE AS STRONG HEIGHT FALLS MOVE INTO THE
REGION WITH ATMOSPHERE COOLING FROM TOP DOWN...THEN SHOWERY PRECIP
TUE...POSSIBLY MIXED WITH SNOW HIGHER ELEVATIONS AS STORM LIFTS NWD
WITH UPPER TROF MOVING OVERHEAD. ECMWF WOULD SUGGEST ACCUMULATING
SNOWFALL FOR THE BERKSHIRES BUT CONFIDENCE IS VERY LOW.
TEMPS SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL WED AND THU WITH GUSTY NW FLOW.
MAINLY DRY THRU THE END OF THE WEEK AND INTO SAT BUT CANT RULE OUT A
FEW RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS WED/WED NIGHT AS SHORTWAVES ROTATE AROUND
UPPER LOW. GFS IS MOST AMPLIFIED.
MODERATING TREND FRI/SAT AS UPPER TROF LIFTS OUT. GFS IS MORE
AGGRESSIVE WITH NEXT SHORTWAVE AND FROPA NEXT SAT WHILE ECMWF KEEPS
FRONT TO THE NORTH THROUGH SAT.
&&
.AVIATION /03Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TONIGHT...MVFR CEILINGS AND VSBYS WITH SCATTERED IFR CEILINGS
POSSIBLE IN SHOWERS...ISOLATED TUNDERSTORMS AND SCATTERED FOG
PATCHES. LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR DURING THE EVENING WITH A 50 TO 60 KT
SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET. SFC WIND GUSTS UP 40 TO 45 KT MUCH OF
AREA...ESPECIALLY ACROSS EXPOSED HIGH TERRAIN AND COASTAL AREAS. AWW
ISSUED FOR WIND GUSTS FOR BOS AND ALL RI STATE AIRPORTS UNTIL 08Z.
SUNDAY...MORNING MVFR CEILINGS AND VSBYS IN LEFTOVER SHOWERS EAST
ENDS BY 14Z. OTHERWISE VFR AND A VERY NICE DAY.
PLS SEE TAFS FOR DETAILS.
OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...
SUN NIGHT...VFR
MON...VFR...BUT POSSIBLY LOWERING TO MVFR IN AFTERNOON SHOWERS OVER
THE INTERIOR.
MON NGT AND TUE...AREAS OF MVFR/IFR POSSIBLE DEPENDING ON TRACK OF
POSSIBLE COASTAL STORM..BUT FCST CONFIDENCE IS QUITE LOW.
WED-THU...MAINLY VFR.
&&
.MARINE...
TONIGHT...MARGINAL GALE WARNINGS ALL WATERS WITH WIND GUSTS TO 35 TO
40 KT. A DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL INVERSION WILL INHIBIT SOME OF THE
WIND TRANSFER FROM REACHING THE SURFACE...BUT DECENT PRESSURE FALLS
NOTED AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.
SUNDAY AND SUN NIGHT...GALES LIKELY CONVERTED TO SCA FOR HAZARDOUS
SEAS DUE TO LEFTOVER SWELL.
PLS SEE MWW FOR DETAILS.
OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...
HIGH SEAS LINGERING OVER OUTER WATERS SUN NIGHT THEN SLOWLY
SUBSIDING INTO MON.
STILL CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY FOR MON NGT INTO TUE WITH POSSIBLE
COASTAL STORM. BUT A PERIOD OF SCA WINDS IS LIKELY WITH LOW PROB OF
NW GALES BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW SOMETIME TUE NIGHT INTO THU.
