NWS Boston/Norton, MA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 5, 4:25 AM EST, 2 hours 39 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA 525 AM EDT SAT JUN 5 2010 .SYNOPSIS... A STATIONARY FRONT WILL WAVER NORTH AND SOUTH ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS WEEKEND AS WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE MOVE ALONG IT. THIS FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND LATE SUNDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK WITH DRIER AND MORE SEASONABLE AIR. A LOW PRESSURE MAY BRING ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... LAST OF THE EARLY MORNING TSTMS HAVE MOVED OFF THE E COAST ACROSS MASS BAY AT 08Z. HAVE HAD SEVERAL REPORTS OF PEA SIZE HAIL IN CENTRAL MA...WITH LARGER HAIL IN DORCHESTER AND QUINCY. WILL ISSUE PRELIM LOCAL STORM REPORT WITH DETAILS SHORTLY. BEEN WAY BEHIND DUE TO RADAR OUTAGE AND CONVECTION. WARM FRONT HAS PUSHED N OF THE REGION...WHILE NEXT LOW WORKS OUT OF NY STATE. ALREADY NOTING SHOWERS/TSTMS MOVING ACROSS UPSTATE NY NEAR KGFL...SO EXPECT TO SEE MORE CONVECTION ARRIVING THIS MORNING. LOW PRES WILL PUSH ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND TODAY...DRAGGING ANOTHER FRONT INTO THE REGION. MODELS STILL SHOWING A GOOD AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY AND LIFT AS THIS FRONT APPROACHES THIS AFTERNOON. ALSO NOTING SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS ACROSS CENTRAL PA/MD WHICH SHOULD WORK IN AROUND THE TIME OF MAX HEATING...WHICH WILL ONLY HELP IN DESTABILIZATION OF AIR MASS. MODELS ALSO HINTING AT THIS. NOTING SURFACE BASED CAPES OF 1500-2000 J/KG LATER THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS N CT/W MA...AS WELL AS LI/S DOWN TO AROUND -3 TO -4 AND K INDICES IN THE MID-UPPER 30S. THIS IS RATHER HIGH FOR OUR REGION. SPC HAS PUT ENTIRE REGION INTO SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE TSTMS. MORE DETAILS WILL BE IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. HAVE ALSO UPDATED THE GRIDS AND ZONES TO USE ENHANCED WORDING FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING WINDS AND SMALL HAIL FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING. PW/S ALSO CONTINUE AROUND 2 INCHES...SO WILL ALSO SEE SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH SOME OF THE SHOWERS/STORMS. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SUNDAY/... TONIGHT...EXPECT THREAT OF TSTMS TO DIMINISH BY AROUND MIDNIGHT... BUT WILL STILL SEE SCT SHOWERS ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION AS THE FRONT STALLS. LOOKS LIKE NEXT LOW STARTS TO APPROACH BY DAYBREAK WITH RENEWED ENHANCEMENT OF SHOWERS. OVERNIGHT LOWS MAINLY IN THE 60S. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... DID NOT LOOK AT OR MODIFY THE FORECAST AFTER MONDAY DUE TO THE CONVECTION EARLY THIS MORNING. 05/00Z MODELS ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO WARRANT USING THE CONSENSUS SOLUTION AS BASIS FOR THIS FORECAST. STILL SOME MINOR TIMING AND TRACK DIFFERENCES...BUT DEFINITELY SMALLER DISCREPANCIES THAN FROM A FEW DAYS AGO. ZONAL FLOW STARTS TO BEND SUNDAY AS THE QUEBEC UPPER LOW DIGS A SHORTWAVE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES WHICH THEN SWEEPS ACROSS NEW ENGLAND MONDAY. THE GENERAL TREND FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK WILL THEN BE BUILDING HEIGHTS ALOFT AS AN UPPER RIDGE SHIFTS EAST. SUNDAY... MAIN CHANGE TO THIS FORECAST WAS TO INCREASE POPS TO CATEGORICAL ALONG AND NORTH OF I-90 IN MA FOR SUNDAY. MAINTAINED LIKELY POPS ELSEWHERE. ALSO BASED ON THE CONSENSUS TRACK AND FORECAST STABILITY INDICES...WE HAVE BROUGHT CHANCE POPS FOR THUNDER TO MOST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AT SOME POINT SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. THINKING MAIN THREAT WILL BE ACROSS INTERIOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND DURING THE AFTERNOON...THEN THE THREAT SHIFTS TOWARD SOUTHEAST MA FOR THE EVENING. FORECAST PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES CONTINUE 1.7 TO 2.0 INCHES...SO HEAVY DOWNPOURS ARE LIKELY AS WELL. TEMPS ARE A BLEND OF MAV AND MET MOS VALUES...SHIFTED AS NECESSARY TO ALLOW FOR A DIURNAL RANGE AROUND 10F. MONDAY-TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION EARLY WEEK. THE UPPER TROF NOTED ABOVE ROTATES THROUGH NEW ENGLAND MONDAY WITH SOME COOLING ALOFT. THIS COULD RESULT IN A FEW MORE CLOUDS THAN FORECAST...ESPECIALLY IN SRN NH/NORTHERN MASS...AND POSSIBLE WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS/SPRINKLES. 850 MB TEMPS 6-8C WITH SLIGHTLY WARMER EQUIVALENT AT 800 MB...THIS SHOULD SUPPORT MAX TEMPS IN THE 70S. DEW POINTS IN THE 40S AND LOW 50S SHOULD SUPPORT MIN TEMPS AROUND 50 OR IN THE 50S. THURSDAY LOW PRESSURE FROM THE PLAINS APPROACHES THURSDAY. THE ECMWF AND GFS INDICATE A SYSTEM PASSING ON THURSDAY...POSSIBLY SPINNING UP A COASTAL LOW AS IT PASSES. WE WILL BRING CHANCE POPS FOR SHOWERS AND AWAIT FURTHER MODEL SUITES. FRIDAY HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS WITH DRY WEATHER. && .AVIATION /09Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... TODAY...MAINLY VFR CIGS...WITH AREAS OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS EARLY THIS MORNING. NOTING LOCAL IFR-LIFR AT KORH AND KACK AT 09Z. EXPECT CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE TO VFR FOR MOST AREAS...THOUGH MVFR CIGS/VSBYS MAY LINGER ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS THROUGH MIDDAY. APPROACH OF COLD FRONT WILL BRING RENEWED AREAS OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS ALONG WITH SHWRS/TSTMS. SOME STORMS MAY PRODUCE GUSTS TO 40-45 KT AND SMALL HAIL AT LEAST. KBOS...AFTER TSTMS EARLY THIS MORNING...MODERATE CONFIDENCE OF VFR THROUGH MIDDAY. MAY SEE BRIEF PERIOD OF IFR CIGS/VSBYS THROUGH 13Z IN PATCHY FOG AND LOW CLOUDS. THIS AFTERNOON...MODERATE CONFIDENCE OF VFR...WITH LOW CONFIDENCE OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN ANY SHWRS/TSTMS AFTER 18-19Z. TONIGHT...LEFTOVER SHWRS/TSTMS THROUGH AROUND MIDNIGHT...THEN BRIEF BREAK IN PRECIP. AREAS MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN PATCHY FOG/LOW CLOUDS... EXCEPT ACROSS S COAST WHERE IFR CIGS/VSBYS WILL LIKELY RETURN. MAY SEE BETTER SHOT OF SHOWERS TOWARD DAYBREAK OVER CT VALLEY...THOUGH LOW CONFIDENCE ON TIMING. KBOS...HAVE FORECASTED VFR CIGS FOR NOW...BUT MAY SEE PERIODS OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN SHWRS/TSTMS THROUGH MIDNIGHT...THEN POSSIBLE PATCHY FOG DEVELOPMENT. OUTLOOK...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY... SUNDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN SHOWERS/SCATTERED TSTMS. MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN IFR PERIODS DUE TO FOG AND SHOWERS ESPECIALLY PVD-FMH-HYA-ACK. MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...VFR. POSSIBLE PATCHY IFR IN MORNING FOG. && .MARINE... TODAY...S-SW WINDS MAY GUST UP TO 20 KT. EXPECT SEAS TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA. VSBYS LOWERED IN PATCHY DENSE FOG THROUGH MIDDAY. TONIGHT...SW WINDS GUSTING AROUND 20 KT. SEAS START TO BUILD AGAIN ON THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS...SO MIGHT NEED SMALL CRAFT. PATCHY DENSE FOG MAY REDEVELOP. OUTLOOK...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY... SUNDAY...WIND GUSTS UP TO 30 KNOTS AND ROUGH SEAS EXPECTED ALONG WITH SHOWERS AND SCATTERED TSTMS. HIGHEST LIKELIHOOD IS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN OUTER COASTAL WATERS. MONDAY...LINGERING ROUGH SEAS ON THE WATERS SOUTH AND EAST OF NANTUCKET. OTHERWISE DIMINISHING WIND AND SEAS. TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY...WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN LIGHT. && .EQUIPMENT...
