Flash Flood and Flooding in New Hampshire, May 29, 2012

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
240 PM EDT TUE MAY 29 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG AND AHEAD OF A
COLD FRONT POISED TO SLIDE THROUGH NEW ENGLAND LATE TONIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY. BEHIND THE FRONT DRIER...LESS HUMID AND COOLER WEATHER
OVERSPREADS NEW ENGLAND LATER THU INTO FRI. THE REMNANTS OF BERYL
WILL TRACK OUT TO SEA LATE IN THE WEEK. ANOTHER WEATHER SYSTEM MAY
BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
145 PM UPDATE...
MONITORING CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE CT VALLEY
AND E SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES CLOSELY. SPC HAS ISSUED TORNADO WATCH
313 FOR BERKSHIRE COUNTY/S VT WESTWARD.

QUITE THE TEMP SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION AT 17Z...FROM 64 DEGREES AT
KBOS...KBVY AND KCQX TO 91 DEGREES AT KBDL. DEWPTS HAVE RISEN TO THE
LOWER 70S ACROSS N CT INTO SW MA AS WELL. NOTING A DEWPT
DISCONTINUITY ACROSS CHESHIRE/WESTERN WORCESTER COUNTIES AS
WELL...AS SEEN ON VISIBLE SATELLITE AS WELL AS OBS WHICH COULD BE A
FOCUS OF CONVECTION LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. LOW
CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG HANGING TOUGH ACROSS E AND N CENTRAL MA/S
CENTRAL NH.

HAVE UPDATED GRIDS TO REFLECT CURRENT CONDITIONS. WITH STUBBORN
CLOUDS ACROSS PORTIONS OF EASTERN AREAS...TEMPS RUNNING COOLER THAN
FORECAST AND TRYING TO TIME WHEN THOSE CLOUDS SHOULD CLEAR.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
BIG QUESTION FOR THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE THE DEVELOPMENT OF
CONVECTION ACROSS WESTERN AREAS. HAVE NOTED THAT 12Z SOUNDINGS AT
BOTH KALY AND KOKX INDICATING VERY HIGH INSTABILITY PARAMETERS.
HOWEVER...NOT SURE IF THE LIFTING WILL MAKE IT FAR ENOUGH E TO CAUSE
CONVECTION TO KICK OFF.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
ENERGY PUSHES THRU THE FCST RGN. ANTICIPATING A LINE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...SOME OF WHICH MAY BE SEVERE. ANTICIPATED THREATS
WITH THE LINE OF STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE
HAIL...HEAVY DOWNPOURS /POSSIBLY LEADING TO URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE
FLOODING/...AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING. ANTICIPATING MOST OF THE
ACTIVITY TO BE OFFSHORE BY MORNING.

THERE IS AN UNDERLYING QUESTION OF WHETHER THE ELEVATED CONVECTIVE
ENERGY WILL SUSTAIN /AS LIKELY THE BOUNDARY LYR WILL DECOUPLE AND
STABILIZE THRU THE OVRNGT PD/. THE NOCTURNAL PASSAGE COUPLED WITH
THE PROXIMITY OF THE MORE STABLE MARITIME AIR DOES NOT BODE WELL FOR
STORMS MAINTAINING ANY SEVERITY AS THEY COME CLOSER TO THE COAST. AM
LEFT FEELING THAT SHOWERS AND PERHAPS ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL
SURVIVE WITH THE COLD FRNTL PASSAGE ACROSS CNTRL AND ERN NEW
ENGLAND.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* COOLER AND LESS HUMID THU/FRI
* SHOWERS/STORMS POSSIBLE FRI NIGHT INTO SAT
* DRY WEATHER RETURNS EARLY NEXT WEEK

MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON LARGER SCALE WEATHER PATTERN
WHICH FEATURES CLOSED LOW OVER MIDWEST HEADING THROUGH GREAT
LAKES. THIS MAINTAINS TROUGHING OVER NORTHEAST AS A NUMBER OF
SHORT WAVES ROTATE AROUND IT.

THU AND FRI...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER NEW ENGLAND BRINGING SOMEWHAT COOLER AND
LESS HUMID AIRMASS. UPPER RIDGE REMAINS IN PLACE WHICH SHOULD KEEP
US DRY INTO FRI EVENING...ALTHOUGH WE SHOULD SEE SOME INCREASE IN
CLOUDS BY END OF DAY.

SAT AND SUN...
LOW PRESSURE LIFTING THROUGH GREAT LAKES WILL PUSH A FRONTAL
SYSTEM THROUGH REGION. LATEST HPC GUIDANCE WHICH IS NOT FAR FROM
12Z GFS BRINGS TRIPLE POINT THROUGH WESTERN NEW ENGLAND MEANING WE
SHOULD SPEND SOME TIME IN WARM SECTOR...ALTHOUGH S/SE FLOW MAY
LIMIT AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY. COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SWING
THROUGH SAT AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THOUGH WITH UPPER LOW HANGING
BACK TO OUR W CLEARING BEHIND FRONT SHOULD BE SLOW. MAY SEE MORE
IN WAY OF CLOUDINESS SUN THAN CURRENTLY EXPECTED GIVEN PRESENCE OF
COLD POOL ALOFT.

MON AND TUE...
LARGER DIFFERENCES APPEAR ON MODELS SO TRENDED FORECAST MORE
TOWARD HPC GUIDANCE...WHICH TAKES UPPER LOW OFFSHORE AND ALLOWS
HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILDS INTO REGION.
