Hail and Damaging Winds in Massachusetts, May 26, 2010

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
843 PM EDT WED MAY 26 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
RECORD HEAT OCCURRED TODAY WITH THE WARMEST TEMPERATURES IN SOME
LOCATIONS SO EARLY IN THE SEASON AND SINCE 2006. A BACKDOOR COLD
FRONT ARRIVING TONIGHT WILL BRING RELIEF TO THE REGION TOMORROW AND
FRIDAY. MAINLY DRY WEATHER FOLLOWS FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND AS QUEBEC
HIGH PRESSURE RELOCATES TO THE SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND WITH A RAPID WARM
UP OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
PLEASURE BAY-CASTLE ISLAND JUST SSW OF LOGAN HAS 24 KNOTS NNE AROUND
838 PM WHILE LOGAN HAS SHIFTED NNE 16 KTS. OUTFLOW WORKING. BASE VEL
ON KBOX RADAR NOT PICKING UP MUCH MORE THAN 15 KTS. TBOS CONT OTS
FROM NZW SO WE CAN GET A BETTER READ. AWW PROBABLY NOT BE REISSUED
AS GROUP OF STORMS HEADS SOUTH.

UPDATED FCST PRODUCTS AT 805 PM FOR THE SELS WATCH. AS YOU SEE... WE
JUST DONT HAVE SVR YES/NO DOWN YET IN THE MARGINAL SITN. THIS EVENING
A SVR CELL IN SE CT...BORN IN WINDHAM CTY. NOW AT 815 PM NEW SHOWERS
AND ISO STORMS ERUPTING NEAR BOS AND NNE. STILL SEEMS A BIT CAPPED
BUT THE WATCH IS OUT AND WE RIDE IT FOR A WHILE.

FROM 5PM BELOW...

THE HEAT INDEX HIT 100 FOR 1 HR AT BDL AND HFD THIS AFTN /NOT ENOUGH
TO MEET NWS CRITERIA THOUGH IT WAS HOT!/. THE CLIMATE SECTION DESCRIBES
THE HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE AS COLLABORATED INTERNALLY AND WITH THE
MEDIA.

N-S SEABREEZE BOUNDARY...VERY SHALLOW...IN EASTERN MASS PUSHING WEST.
WATER VAPOR AND MODELS TOO DRY TOO DEEP AS HAYDEN STATED ON THE MID
SHIFT.

MAIN CONVECTIVE COMPLEX ROLLING SSE OUT OF CANADA BUT LOOKS LIKE IT
WILL TEND TO DIE AS IT MOVES ACROSS N NYS EARLY TONIGHT.

HAVE MAINTAINED SMALL POPS FOR POTENTIAL BUT POPS FOR CONVECTION
ARE NOT THE SREF STRONG SUIT.

SIGNIFICANT BACKDOOR IS MOVING SWWD FROM THE GULF OF MAINE AS SEEN
IN SAT IMAGERY WITH STRATUS AND THAT IS OUR RELIEF ARRIVING DURING
THE NIGHT.

THIS ARRIVES EAST COASTAL MASS AROUND 01Z OR 02Z WITH FULL FLEDGED
LOW CIGS AND TEMPS DROPPING INTO THE 60S AND THEN THE 50S BY MORNING
ALONG E COASTAL MASS.

EVENTUALLY A SHOWER MAY DEVELOP OVERNIGHT FROM THE NW AS EITHER DEBRIS
FROM THE SE CANADA COMPLEX OR OTRW EVOLVE IN THE UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE.
PROBS ARE LOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM /7 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
THURSDAY...
A MUCH COOLER DAY IS IN STORE FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BEHIND THE
BACKDOOR COLD FRONT.  HIGHS SHOULD RANGE FROM THE UPPER 60S TO THE
LOWER 70S ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST...TO THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S
ACROSS INTERIOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

LOW CLOUDS AND FOG PATCHES ARE EXPECTED EARLY IN THE MORNING BEHIND
THE BACKDOOR COLD FRONT.  HOWEVER...EXPECT THE STRONG SUN ANGLE TO
BURN THE LOW CLOUDS/FOG OFF ALLOWING FOR A PARTLY SUNNY DAY...
ESPECIALLY AS LOWER SFC DEWPOINT AIR ARRIVES FROM THE EAST.

AS FOR PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL KEEP THINGS DRY ON THE COASTAL
PLAIN.  A MARINE LAYER WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS OUR EASTERN ZONES AND
THE FOCUS FOR ANY CONVECTION WILL BE ACROSS OUR WESTERN
ZONES...WHERE WE CARRY 30 TO 40 POPS WITH THE HIGHEST IN OUR FAR
WESTERN ZONES. THERE ALSO IS SOME INSTABILITY SO A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE. HOWEVER...THE BULK OF THE INSTABILITY AND BETTER
SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL IS WEST OF OUR FCST AREA. HAVE CONTD THE
SLIGHT THREAT OF SVR WEST IN THE HWO BUT NO GUSTY THUNDER IN THE
WORDS AS BETTER INSTABILITY AND POTENTIAL APPEARS TO CAPPED OVER OUR
AREA LATE THIS WED AFTN.

THU NIGHT...VARIABLE CLOUDS BUT NOT A LOT THAT I COULD SEE FOR WX.
BLENDED 12Z NCEP GUIDANCE AND USED 09Z SREF.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH SATURDAY...AFTER THAT
THE 00Z ECMWF BECOMES AN OUTLIER WITH A STRONG MID LEVEL LOW
DROPPING FURTHER SOUTH INTO QUEBEC SATURDAY THAN THE GFS OR THE GGEM.
WILL OPT FOR A BLEND OF THE NAM AND GFS THROUGH SATURDAY AND THEN
LEAN MORE TOWARDS THE 12Z GFS.

FRIDAY...HIGH PRESSURE DROPS SOUTH THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
DRY BUT COOLER WEATHER EXPECTED WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...FAIRLY GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT ON DRY NORTHWEST
FLOW INTO NEW ENGLAND.  THE 12Z GFS IS A BIT MORE PROGRESSIVE...
MOVING A MID LEVEL RIDGE ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY.  EXPECTING MAINLY
DRY...WARMING WEATHER WITH MID LEVEL RIDGING AND HIGH PRESSURE.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE DIFFERENCES IN THE GFS/ECMWF BECOME
MORE PRONOUNCED WITH THE ECMWF MOVING A MID LEVEL RIDGE ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND MONDAY FOLLOWED BY A MID LEVEL TROF WEDNESDAY
AND THE GFS BRINGING A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY
FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE.  LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST FOR THIS
PERIOD.  HOWEVER...THE BEST SHOT AT CONVECTION LOOKS TO BE MONDAY OR
TUESDAY.  THE GFS LEANS A BIT MORE TOWARDS MONDAY...AHEAD OF THE
COLD FRONT WITH A MORE UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE.  THE ECMWF IS LOOKING
MORE TOWARDS TUESDAY WITH SOME SORT OF SURFACE TROUGH OR WEAK
FRONTAL BOUNDARY.  WILL MENTION CHANCE POPS WITH SLIGHT CHANCE OF
THUNDER FOR BOTH DAYS AT THIS POINT.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
NOW...PLEASURE BAY-CASTLE ISLAND JUST SSW OF LOGAN HAS 24 KNOTS NNE AROUND
838 PM WHILE LOGAN HAS SHIFTED NNE 16 KTS. OUTFLOW WORKING. BASE VEL
ON KBOX RADAR NOT PICKING UP MUCH MORE THAN 15 KTS. TBOS CONT OTS
FROM NZW SO WE CAN GET A BETTER READ. AWW PROBABLY NOT BEO REISSUED
AS GROUP OF STORMS HEADS SOUTH.

TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT IFR OR LIFR CEILINGS WITH IFR
VISIBILITIES IN STRATUS/FOG SHOULD MOVE ONTO THE COASTAL PLAIN
AROUND 02Z FROM THE GULF OF MAINE...PROGRESSING STEADILY WEST
OVERNIGHT BUT NOT REACHING THE CT RVR VALLEY TIL BTWN 09Z-12Z.

KBOS...HIGH CONFIDENCE BECOMES IFR CIGS AROUND 02Z. CHC OF A SHOWER
OR TSTM. E-NELY SFC FLOW. TAF UPDATED 816PM FOR SHOWER WITH VCNTY
TSTMS WITH LIGHTNING MOVING SWD ALONG THE COAST. AWW ISSUED FOR LOGAN
TIL 845 PM.

THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IFR OR LIFR TO START WITH IMPROVING
CONDITIONS LATE MORNING AND AFTN...TO MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS BY MID
AFTN. A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE IN THE VICINITY OF THE
BDL/BAF TERMINALS DURING THE AFTERNOON.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE - MODERATE.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR.  MEDIUM CONFIDENCE SCT
DIURNAL CUMULUS CLOUDS AROUND 5KFT EACH AFTERNOON.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...A STRONGER BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS
SHIFTING AND OR INCREASING THE NE WIND TO 20 KTS FOR A SHORT TIME.
HOWEVER...GRADIENT SHOULD REMAIN WEAK ENOUGH TO KEEP WINDS BELOW SCA
THRESHOLDS. HOWEVER...SOUTHERLY SWELL WILL CONTINUE TO RESULT IN 4 TO
6 FOOT SWELL ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN WATERS AND CONTINUED SCA HEADLINES.

THURSDAY...NORTHEAST WINDS OF 5 TO 15 KNOTS BEHIND THE BACKDOOR COLD
FRONT.  SOUTHERLY SWELL WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP SEAS ABOVE SCA
THRESHOLDS ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN OUTER-WATERS.

THU NIGHT...SUBSIDING SWELL AND HEADLINES MAY SHRINK.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...GENERALLY SEAS REMAIN BELOW 5 FEET.  COULD SEE
A PERIOD OF WEST-SOUTHWEST NEAR SHORE WINDS OF 20-25 KT SAT.

SUNDAY...SEAS ON THE OUTER WATERS CLIMB TO AROUND 5 FEET.  A PERIOD
OF SOUTHWEST NEAR SHORE WINDS NEAR 25 KTS IS POSSIBLE.

OCCURRENCE AT ALL 100 PLUS YEARS CLIMATE SITES.

THE FOLLOWING IS NOT A LOCK IN PLACEMENT BUT UNLESS OUR CONSERVATIVE
PROJECTIONS ARE LARGELY IN ERROR OR THE PATTERN CHANGES DRAMATICALLY
COOLER FOR THIS THIS WEEKEND...I THINK WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO SOMETHING
VERY CLOSE TO THAT LISTED BELOW.

EXPERIENCE WITH THE CHILLY MARITIME ONSHORE FLOW.
