AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
148 PM EDT TUE JUN 1 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...
BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STRONG THUNDERSTORMS. A WARM
AND DRY DAY IS ON TAP FOR WEDNESDAY AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
ACROSS THE AREA. GENERALLY WARM AND RELATIVELY HUMID CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THERE WILL BE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL AS A SLOW-MOVING COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE
AREA. A STRONGER TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE SLOWLY MOVING ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES MAY BRING SOME UNSETTLED WEATHER TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
THIS WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING/...
145PM: WILL TRIM SEVERE RISK NW OF THE LINE IN ORH COUNTY INTO S NH.
LINE GROWING SLOWLY. LOTS OF RAIN EMBEDDED BUT LIMITED SHEAR MAY BE
MORE LIMITING THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. STILL MOST FAVORED AREA
APPEARS TO BE NE MASS. STORMS MOVING INTO MOST POTENT REGION IN THE
NEXT HR. IF NO SVR BY 430P...THEN NONE EXPECTED.
1015 AM: BRIEFLY REVIEWED THE 12Z NAM...UPDATED FOR SVR STORMS.
THINK BEST CHC OF SVR IS WITHIN 20-30 MI EITHER SIDE OF THE MASS PIKE
THIS AFTN WHERE GREATEST INSTABILITY. I JUST DONT WANT TO SCRAMBLE
UPDATING EARLY THIS AFTN FOR SVR AND PUT IT IN THE ZONES NOW.
LESS CERTAIN ON SVR RISK FOR S NH BUT ITS IN THE ZONES NOW AND WE
WILL GO WITH IT TILL IT CANNOT OCCUR.
9AM: RAN THE 12Z ALB SOUNDING FOR 81/65. CONSULTED WITH SPC AT 1215Z.
WHILE NO SPC OUTLOOK YET AND BULK SHEAR LOOKS MARGINAL...BLV
UNIDIRECTIONAL WSW FLOW AND GOOD TIMING OF INSTABILITY/DECENT CAPE
WILL PERMIT SCT SVR BDL-PYM NORTHWARD THIS AFTN WITH SMW STORMS ALL
THE WAY TO PTOWN/WELLFLEET VERY LATE THIS AFTN. AM LOOKING FOR STORMS
TO TRIGGER AT 79F... EL TO ME SEEMS TO BE 33K WITH TROP 42.
LOOKING FOR MORE WIND REPORTS THAN HAIL BUT MAY NEED TO REVISE AT
1030AM BASED ON 12Z NAM. SKYWARN PRESENCE MAY BE NEEDED IN THE OFFICE
BEGINNING AT NOON OR 1 PM. PWAT 1.8. TT 50. GOOD WIND IN THE 12Z ALB
SOUNDING.
OTRW BELOW FROM 4AM...
FOR TODAY...ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS ARE EXPECTED AS LOW
PRES MOVES ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND WITH ITS ASSOCIATED COLD
FRONT CROSSING THE REGION. WITH THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASING
OVERNIGHT...CAN EXPECT SOME HEFTY DOWNPOURS WITH SOME OF THESE TSTMS
WITH PW/S AROUND 2 INCHES. MODELS ALSO CONTINUE TO INDICATE PRETTY
GOOD AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY IN PLACE. HOWEVER...WITH A LOT OF DEBRIS
CLOUDS IN PLACE THANKS TO THE EARLY MORNING CONVECTION...MAY HAVE A
TOUGH TIME GENERATING STRONG STORMS. THERE ARE CAPE VALUES AT AROUND
1000 J/KG AND LI/S AROUND -2 TO -3. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE
SOME ISOLATED SEVERE ACTIVITY...ESPECIALLY IF THE SUN BREAKS OUT.
ANOTHER TOUGH PART OF THIS FORECAST WILL BE MAX TEMPS...WHICH WILL
BE DEPENDENT BECAUSE OF THE CLOUD COVER. FOR NOW...DID LOWER THE
HIGHS A BIT...THINKING THAT THERE WILL BE QUITE A FEW CLOUDS AROUND.
WILL PROBABLY STILL SEE READINGS UP TO AROUND 80 ACROSS MOST AREAS
EXCEPT THE S COAST...CAPE AND ISLANDS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /8 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
TONIGHT...EXPECT THE FRONT TO PUSH OFFSHORE THIS EVENING. WILL SEE
SHOWERS AND SCT TSTMS ACROSS CT/RI/SE MA POSSIBLY INTO BOSTON AT
AROUND 00Z...BUT SHOULD PUSH OFFSHORE BY AROUND MIDNIGHT. COULD
LINGER A BIT LONGER ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. DRIER AIR WILL WORK IN
LATER TONIGHT...THOUGH LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG MIGHT LINGER ON THE
S COAST. EXPECT OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S.
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL LIKELY BE IN AN AREA OF WEAK SHORTWAVE
RIDGING WEDNESDAY. THIS SHOULD MEAN DRY AND WARM CONDITIONS ALONG
WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
DID NOT MODIFY PREVIOUS FORECAST AFTER FRIDAY NIGHT DUE TO NEED TO
MONITOR RADAR THIS MORNING.
MAIN PROBLEM FOR THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST WILL BE THE TIMING OF
ANOTHER COLD FRONT LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. 01/00Z GFS IS
CONSIDERABLY SLOWER AND FARTHER WEST WITH A LOW PRESSURE THAN THE NAM
AND ECMWF. WITH A NEAR ZONAL FLOW IN THE MID LEVELS EXPECTED...PREFER
THE WEAKER AND MORE PROGRESSIVE SURFACE PATTERN FROM THE NAM/ECMWF
SOLUTIONS.
BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT...A SLOW-MOVING SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE OVER
THE GREAT LAKES AREA. THIS WILL HELP TO PUSH A SFC COLD FRONT SLOWLY
SOUTHEAST TOWARD NEW ENGLAND. IN A NUTSHELL...THE COLD FRONT IN THE
VICINITY ALONG WITH INCREASING HUMIDITY WILL OFFER A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.
THE MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A DEEP TROF SETTING UP SHOP ACROSS
THE GREAT LAKES AND NORTHEAST THIS WEEKEND. HOWEVER...STRENGTH AND
TIMING ARE NOT WELL AGREED UPON. WE THINK THERE WILL BE PERIODS OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...BUT PINNING DOWN EXACTLY WHERE AND WHEN
IS NOT POSSIBLE AT THIS TIME.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THIS AFTERNOON...HIGH CONFIDENCE OF VFR-MVFR CIGS FOR MOST AREAS.
MODERATE CONFIDENCE OF MVFR- IFR CIGS/VSBYS IN SHOWERS AND TSTMS. MAY
SEE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND SMALL HAIL AND SFC GUST 38-48 KT IN
SOME STORMS ESP VCNTY BAF ORH AND BOS. ATTEMPTED TIMING IN THE 18Z TAFS.
JUST DO NOT HAVE IDEAL HANDLE ON THIS IN PROGRESS EVENT.
SW GUST 30 KTS VCNTY ORH AND BOS THIS AFTN IN GRADIENT FLOW SEPARATE
FROM WLY TSTM OUTFLOW.
IFR CIGS DEVELOPING S COAST NOW AND THE QUESTION...HOW FAR N DOES
THIS DEVELOP BEFORE BL WIND SHEARS THE IFR CIGS EAST.
KBOS...VFR CIGS. MODERATE CONFIDENCE OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN
SHOWERS/TSTMS 330P-6P THIS AFTERNOON.
TONIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS MAINLY CENTRAL AND
EASTERN AREAS THROUGH 01Z...THEN IMPROVING TO VFR. IFR CIGS/CONDS IN
ST DEVELOPING FOG MAY LINGER ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS THROUGH
11Z OR SO.
KBOS...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS THROUGH
01Z...THEN IMPROVING TO VFR.
WEDNESDAY...MEDIUM TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS IN BETWEEN
COLD FRONTS.
OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE AT THIS POINT WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF MVFR-IFR CEILINGS/VISIBILITIES MIXED IN
WITH VFR CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM. WILL HAVE TO
BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR MARINE FOG AND STRATUS IN MOISTENING AIR
MASS...ALONG WITH SCT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. TIMING OF THIS FRONT
IS ALSO A CONCERN.
SATURDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE FOR MVFR/VFR DUE TO A LINGERING WARM FRONT
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
&&
.MARINE...
TODAY...HAVE EXTENDED THE SMALL CRAFT TO INCLUDE ALL WATERS THIS AFTN.
EXPECT S-SW WINDS TO GUST TO 25-30 KT AS LOW LEVEL JET PASSES ACROSS
THE WATERS AHEAD OF APPROACHING COLD FRONT. SEAS MAY REACH 5-6 FT ON
THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS.
TONIGHT...WILL STILL SEE SW WINDS GUSTING UP TO 25 KT MAINLY ON THE
WATERS E AND S OF CAPE COD SOUTHWARD...THEN WILL DIMINISH AS THEY
SHIFT TO W AFTER MIDNIGHT. SEAS WILL REMAIN AROUND 5 FT. WAVE
FORECAST FROM WNA WAVEWATCH MODEL APPEARED TO BE UP TO 3 FEET TOO
HIGH SO CUT BACK.
OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BE WEAK THROUGH THE
OUTLOOK PERIOD TO PRECLUDE ANY EXTENDED PERIODS OF 25 KT WINDS.
HOWEVER...WITH RELATIVELY LONG-LIVED SOUTHWEST FETCH...PERIODS OF 4
TO 7 FOOT SEAS ACROSS THE SOUTH COASTAL OUTER WATERS WILL BE LIKELY.
OCCASIONAL THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS WELL...AND THIS MAY POSE
A MARINE LIGHTNING THREAT.
