Wildfire in Massachusetts, April 4 to 5, 2012

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
726 AM EDT WED APR 4 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE OFFSHORE THIS MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD OVER THE NORTHEAST USA BRINGING DRY...BREEZY AND
SEASONABLY COOL WEATHER INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND.
MODERATING TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY...THEN A SERIES OF
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MAY BRING SOME SHOWERS EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

730 AM UPDATE...
MAIN BULK OF THE FORECAST IS ON TRACK. DID UPDATE TEMPS AND DEWS
TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT TRENDS. SITES UNDER CLEAR SKIES BEFORE
DAWN HAVE DROPPED BELOW FREEZING SO HAVE ACCOUNTED FOR THIS...DEWS
AS WELL HAVE DROPPED ESP ACROSS CT AND WESTERN MASS. SKIES HAVE
MAINLY CLEARED OUT BESIDES A FEW ALTOCU LINGERING.

PREV DISCUSSION...
A LINE OF SHOWERS ON RADAR DURING THE OVERNIGHT...BUT PLENTY OF
DRY AIR BENEATH. THIS MEANS MOST OF THE MOISTURE DRIED UP ON THE
WAY DOWN. HOWEVER OBSERVATIONS DID SHOW A FEW SPRINKLES. AND THE
TRANSFER OF WATER FROM 2 MILES UP MANAGED TO PUSH DEWPOINTS ALL
THE WAY INTO THE 20S.

ABSENT THESE SHOWERS...THE COLD FRONT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO FIND.
EXPECT IT TO MOVE OFFSHORE THIS MORNING...09Z TO 15Z. SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS THE CLEARING APPROACHING EASTERN NY...AND
EXTRAPOLATION BRINGS THIS THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BETWEEN
0930Z AND 1230Z.

THIS CLEARING WILL ALLOW FOR A SUNNY DAY. THE SOLAR HEATING AT THE
SURFACE WILL CREATE MIXING...AND TEMPS AT 850 MB WILL SHOW LITTLE
CHANGE FROM YESTERDAY. THIS MEANS TEMPS SHOULD AT LEAST REACH THE
UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S. MIXING A LITTLE DEEPER WOULD BRING A
POTENTIAL OF MID 60S. WINDS AT THESE HIGHER LEVELS WILL BE 20 TO
25 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON...AND ANY MIXING WOULD BRING THESE WINDS
TO THE SURFACE IN GUSTS.

COLDER AIR ALOFT STARTS WORKING IN AFTER 18Z AS A CANADIAN UPPER
LOW DIVES SOUTHEAST ACROSS MAINE. THIS UPPER COLD POOL WILL
ENCOURAGE DIURNAL CU ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHERN NH AND NORTHERN/WESTERN
MASS.

MAX TEMPS ARE BASED ON TEMPS ALOFT...A BLEND OF MOS PROVIDED A
GOOD TEMPLATE. MODEL DEWPOINTS WERE MORE OF A PROBLEM. WE USED A
PROCEDURE THAT MIXES THE DRIER DEWPOINTS ALOFT DOWN TO THE
SURFACE.  THIS WAS FURTHER BLENDED WITH GLAMP AND MANUALLY TWEAKED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
TONIGHT...UPPER LOW PASSES EAST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. SOME
LINGERING CLOUDS ESPECIALLY IN THE FIRST PART OF THE NIGHT
FOLLOWED BY A CLEARING TREND AS THE LOW MOVES AWAY. TEMPS ARE A
BLEND OF MOS...MIN TEMPS ARE GENERALLY IN THE 30S.

THURSDAY...

THE UPPER SYSTEM MOVES OFF AND GREAT LAKES HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
OVER THE NORTHEAST USA. THIS SHOULD MEAN A DRY DAY WITH PLENTY OF
SUNSHINE. NAM AND GFS CROSS SECTIONS SHOW SOME MOIST AIR BETWEEN
800 MB AND 900 MB...BUT ALSO PLENTY OF SUBSIDENCE. SO WHILE
DAYTIME CLOUDS ARE POSSIBLE THEIR EXTENT SHOULD BE LIMITED.

TEMPS ALOFT COOL DOWN...850 MB TEMPS ARE FORECAST -5C TO -7C. THIS
WOULD AIM MAX TEMPS AT THE MID 40S TO AROUND 50. BUT MIXING SHOULD
GO HIGHER THAN 850 MB AND TEMPS AT THE HIGHER LEVELS SUPPORT MAX
TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 50S.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* DRY WITH NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS THROUGH SAT
* CHANCE OF SHOWERS EARLY NEXT WEEK

CONFIDENCE LEVEL...
HIGH CONFIDENCE LEVEL FOR MOST OF THIS FORECAST PERIOD. MODELS SEEM
TO BE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN FOR THE
REST OF THIS WEEK AND INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND. HIGH
CONFIDENCE THAT DRY WEATHER WILL PREVAIL WITH TEMPERATURES SLOWLY
INCREASING THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK. CONFIDENCE BEGINS
TO LOWER LATE IN THE WEEKEND AND ESPECIALLY FOR NEXT WEEK AS MODELS
BEGIN TO DIVERGE. UNCERTAIN ON IF AND WHEN PRECIP WILL OCCUR BUT DO
EXPECT IT SOMETIME AT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.

DETAILS...

THURSDAY NIGHT-SATURDAY...
LONG WAVE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER NEW ENGLAND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THIS TIME PERIOD ALLOWING FOR NORTHWEST FLOW TO REMAIN. UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING ACROSS THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE CONUS WILL SLOWLY MOVE IT
WAS EASTWARD BRINGING HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES BY
SATURDAY. WITH THE PATTERN STILL IN NORTHWEST FLOW...TEMPS THROUGH
THIS TIMEFRAME WILL STILL BE NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE AS
MIXING OCCURS DURING MAX HEATING. GUSTY WINDS WILL ALSO OCCURRING
DURING THE DAY AS LAPSE RATES STEEPEN...EXPECT GUSTS AROUND 20KTS.
DRY AIR WILL STILL DOMINATE THE REGION...WITH SOME UPPER LEVEL
CLOUDS STREAMING THROUGH. DEWPOINTS WILL STILL REMAIN LOW...WHICH
WILL KEEP RH VALUES LOW AS WELL...ENHANCING FIRE WEATHER THREAT. STAY
TUNED TO UPDATED FORECASTS FOR MORE INFO.

SUNDAY INTO THE WORK WEEK...
MODEL SPREAD INCREASES SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE TIME PERIOD WHICH
RESULTS IN LOW CONFIDENCE. MODELS HAVE INDICATED THE THE CURRENT
SHORTWAVE EJECTING OUT OF THE ROCKIES WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CONUS AND
FORM A CUT OFF LOW OVER THE ATLANTIC ON SUNDAY. THIS APPEARS TO FORM
AN OMEGA BLOCK FOR THE EASTERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY. PLACEMENTS IN
THE ECMWF AND GFS ARE DIFFERENT ON WHERE CUTOFF LOW WILL OCCUR...WITH
THE ECMWF FARTHER WEST WHICH WOULD BRING NEW ENGLAND PRECIP AND
COOLER TEMPS. BELIEVE THAT THE RIDGING OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL
MAINTAIN ITSELF...LEANED TOWARDS THE GFS/GEFS AS ITS MORE CONSISTENT
WITH THE CUT OFF LOW FROM RUN TO RUN IN TERMS OF PLACEMENT. THIS
WOULD MEAN LIGHT QPF AND NEAR AVERAGE TEMPS FOR THE REGION.

SO FOR SUNDAY...BELIEVE PRECIP WILL STAY OFFSHORE UNTIL THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS...MOVING FROM EAST TO WEST. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
ABOVE AVERAGE AS WINDS SWITCH TO A MORE WESTERLY COMPONENT.

FOR THE WORK WEEK...UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BRING
SEVERAL SHORTWAVES TO THE REGION ALLOWING FOR ON AGAIN OFF AGAIN
SHOWERS FOR MONDAY INTO TUESDAY WITH VERY LIGHT PRECIP. TEMPERATURES
SHOULD BE NEAR AVERAGE.

&&

.AVIATION /11Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MODERATE...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

TODAY...VFR. HIGH CONFIDENCE. NORTHWEST WINDS INCREASE DURING
THE DAY WITH GUSTS AROUND 25 KNOTS MIDDAY AND AFTERNOON. EXPECT A
FEW DIURNAL CU TO POP UP.

TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...VFR.  HIGH CONFIDENCE.

KBOS TERMINAL...VFR. NORTHWEST WINDS GUST AROUND 25 KNOTS MIDDAY
AND AFTERNOON.  HIGH CONFIDENCE.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...

THURSDAY NIGHT-SATURDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR. NW FLOW CONTINUES WITH
GUSTS UP TO 20 KT MAINLY FROM LATE MORNING INTO THE EVENING EACH
DAY...EXPECT SOME DIURNAL CU TO FORM IN THE AFTERNOON AS WELL.

SUNDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...HEATING OVER LAND WILL DRAW WIND GUSTS NEAR 25 KNOTS DOWN
TO THE SURFACE. WE HAVE OPTED FOR A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE
NEARSHORE WATERS BUT NOT THE OUTER WATERS. SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW
5 FEET.

TONIGHT...WIND GUSTS AROUND 20 KNOTS AND POSSIBLY NEAR 25 KNOTS.
IF THE GUSTS HOLD UP...SMALL CRAFTS MAY NEED TO BE
EXPANDED/EXTENDED.  SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW 5 FEET.

THURSDAY...NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTING 20-25 KNOTS IN THE MORNING BUT
DIMINISHING IN THE AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...

THURSDAY NIGHT-SATURDAY...EXPECT NORTHERLY WINDS MOSTLY BELOW SCA.
MAY SEE SOME GUSTS UP TO 25 KT DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS AS MIXING
OCCURS.  SEAS REMAINING BELOW SCA.

SUNDAY...UPPER LEVEL LOW OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST WILL INCREASE
NORTHERLY WINDS TO 30KTS AND IN RESPONSE SEAS WILL BUILD TO 5FT
ESP ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
TODAY...EVAPORATING SHOWERS MANAGED TO PUMP DEWPOINTS INTO THE 20S
IN MANY SPOTS OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL NOT LAST...AND DEWPOINTS ARE
EXPECTED TO FALL BACK INTO THE LOW-MID TEENS. SOLAR HEATING AND
RESULTING DEEP MIXING OF THE AIRMASS WILL BRING MAX TEMPS IN THE
UPPER 50S TO MID 60S...AND WILL BRING GUSTY WINDS DOWN TO THE
SURFACE. THE AVAILABLE WINDS AT 5000-6000 FEET ARE FORECAST AT
20-25 KNOTS...AND ARGUABLY COULD REACH 30 KNOTS LATE IN THE DAY.

COMBINE ALL OF THIS...THE RESULT IS FAVORABLE FOR RED FLAG
CONDITIONS TODAY. THE WATCH HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO A WARNING FOR
LATE MORNING THROUGH EVENING. AS BEFORE...THE HEADLINE AREA COVERS
MOST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE CAPE COD AND ALL
OF THE SOUTH COAST ISLANDS /SUCH AS BLOCK ISLAND/.

THURSDAY...
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE. SOLAR HEATING WILL
AGAIN MIX THE ATMOSPHERE. WINDS ALOFT WILL BE AROUND 20 KNOTS FOR
AT LEAST A PART OF THE DAY. DEWPOINTS WILL AGAIN DROP INTO THE
TEENS...FALLING DEWPOINTS AND RISING TEMPS WILL PUSH RELATIVE
HUMIDITY TOWARD 20 PERCENT.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY LOOK TO BE MARGINAL FIRE WEATHER DAYS AS
NORTHERLY WINDS WILL GUST ABOVE 25 KTS AND MIN RH VALUES DROP BELOW
25 PERCENT ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND INTERIOR
MASSACHUSETTS. STAY TUNED TO LATER FORECASTS AND DISCUSSIONS ON
FUTURE FIRE WEATHER HEADLINES.
