Tornado and Flash Flooding in Massachusetts, September 1, 2013

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
727 AM EDT SUN SEP 1 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHING FROM NEW YORK STATE INTO NEW
ENGLAND WILL RESULT IN SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH
HEAVY RAIN AT TIMES TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
MAY BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY AND EARLY
TUESDAY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. DRIER...COOLER AND
MUCH LESS HUMID WEATHER ARRIVES MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

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

730 AM UPDATE...
VERY SUBTLE WAVE CONTINUES TO PUSH ACROSS THE REGION REGENERATING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING. INSTABILITY HAS SHIFTED
SOUTH COMPARED TO EARLIER THIS MORNING...AS FORECASTED BY THE
MODELS. MESO ANALYSIS SHOWERS THAT THERE IS STILL AT LEAST 500
J/KG OF ML CAPE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE REGION. K INDEX
STILL STRONG...AT 38 INDICATING GOOD MOISTURE INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.
AS TEMPS ARE IN THE 70S WITH THE DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S TO
LOW 70S...THIS HAS HELPED KEEP INSTABILITY VALUES HIGH AS WELL AS
MOISTURE. EXPECT STORMS TO CONTINUE TO TRIGGER THIS
MORNING...MAINLY ACROSS CT/RI AND SE MASS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

THIS AFTERNOON...

LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST FOR THIS AFTERNOON GIVEN THE WEAK SYNOPTIC
SCALE FORCING ENVIRONMENT. THERE SHOULD BE A LULL IN THE CONVECTION
LATER THIS MORNING AS A LEAD SHORT WAVE /ALBEIT WEAK/ MOVES OFFSHORE
12Z-15Z. THEREAFTER DIFFICULT TO FIND A TRIGGER FOR NEW CONVECTION
THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER IT WON'T TAKE MUCH TO GENERATE TSTMS AS ALL
MODEL GUIDANCE INCLUDING THE GEFS AND ECMWF OFFERING CAPES 1200-
1800J/KG BY 18Z. THE WEAK MOIST CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT COMBINED WITH
ANY LEFTOVER BOUNDARIES FROM CONVECTION EARLY THIS MORNING MAY BE
SUFFICIENT TO INITIATE NEW CONVECTION. IF SEABREEZE BOUNDARIES
DEVELOP THAT COULD BECOME A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION.

SO CONFIDENCE IS MODERATE TO HIGH ON NEW CONVECTION FIRING THIS
AFTERNOON BUT LOWER CONFIDENCE ON AREAL COVERAGE GIVEN WEAK SYNOPTIC
SCALE FORCING ENVIRONMENT. MAIN HAZARD WITH STORMS WILL BE
TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS GIVEN HIGH PWAT AIRMASS /NEAR 2 INCHES/ AND
WEAK WINDS ALOFT YIELDING SLOW MOVING STORMS. THUS RISK FOR FLASH
FLOODING EXIST BUT CONFIDENCE LOW ON AREAL COVERAGE. THEREFORE HELD
OFF ON ISSUING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH. LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO
REEVALUATE.

ANOTHER WARM AND MUGGY DAY WITH DEW PTS IN THE U60S AND L70S. JUST
LIKE YESTERDAY AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE REMAINS UNCERTAIN. NEVERTHELESS
GIVEN THE WARM START THIS MORNING /LOW TO MID 70S/ ONLY A FEW HOURS
OF SUNSHINE WILL KICK TEMPS INTO THE LOW TO MID 80S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
TONIGHT AND MONDAY...

HIGHER AMPLITUDE SHORT WAVE MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL
PROVIDE STRONGER SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT ALONG WITH INCREASING WIND
FIELDS ALOFT. THIS SHOULD YIELD MORE WIDESPREAD AND ORGANIZED
CONVECTION. THEREFORE LIKELY POPS FROM THE GFS AND NAM SEEM
REASONABLE.

HEAVY DOWNPOURS LIKELY WITH PWATS ABOUT +2 STD FROM CLIMO. LOW RISK
OF A FEW STORMS WITH STRONG WINDS AS WIND FIELDS ALOFT INCREASE.
THIS WILL HINGE ON MAGNITUDE OF INSTABILITY WHICH IS UNCERTAIN AT
THIS TIME RANGE GIVEN POTENTIAL CLOUD COVER FROM CONVECTION TONIGHT
INTO MON MORNING.

WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS CONTINUE AS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND REMAINS
IN THE WARM SECTOR.

&&

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

* HUMID WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON TUESDAY
* SEASONABLE AND LESS HUMID MID-WEEK
* DRY AND COOLER FOR THE END OF THE WEEK

CONFIDENCE LEVEL/MODEL GUIDANCE...
MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN OVERALL FORECAST. CONTINUE TO HAVE
INCREASING CONFIDENCE FOR THE TEMPERATURE ASPECT IN THE FORECAST.
MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TIMING OF PRECIPITATION WITH HIGH
CONFIDENCE THAT PRECIP WILL OCCUR ON TUESDAY. THE LATEST MODEL
GUIDANCE SHOWS RELATIVELY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE LARGE-SCALE FLOW
THROUGH THE UPCOMING MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD. A BROAD TROUGH ACROSS
THE GREAT LAKES AND INTO THE NORTHEAST WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY
OCCASIONAL COLD FRONTAL PASSAGES AND BRIEF PERIODS OF RAINFALL AND
COOLER TEMPERATURES. SEEMS THIS FLOW WILL BE PERSISTENT FOR
SOMETIME AS MODELS ARE NOT INDICATING A PATTERN CHANGE ANYTIME
SOON.

DETAILS...

TUESDAY...
CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AS ELEVATED INSTABILITY
REMAINS ACROSS THE REGION AND SHOWALTERS DROP TO -4. THIS COMBINED
WITH DEWS ABOVE 70F WILL ALLOW FOR STORMS TO CONTINUE TO
REGENERATE . THE MAIN FORCING MECHANISMS...THE COLD FRONT...WILL
MOVE THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND ON TUESDAY. MAIN QUESTION IS THE
TIMING. MODELS HAVE SHIFTED MORE TOWARDS A SLOWER SOLUTION THEN
COMPARED TO LAST NIGHT. THEREFORE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A CHANCE
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ESP ACROSS THE EASTERN
HALF OF THE REGION. HEAVY SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE WITH MAIN CONCERN
BEING NUISANCE FLOODING AS PWAT VALUES WILL BE 1.5 TO 2 INCHES.
MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN STRONG/SEVERE STORMS AS SHEAR VALUES
INCREASE BETWEEN 30-40KTS. INSTABILITY SHOULD REACH AROUND
1000-2000 J/KG AS DEWPOINTS WILL BE HIGH...HOWEVER LIMITING FACTOR
WILL BE CLOUD COVER. WILL NEED TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR.

WEDNESDAY...
COLD FRONT WILL BE WELL OFFSHORE BY WEDNESDAY. WEAK SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL TRY TO PUSH INTO THE REGION ALLOWING FOR DRY WEATHER
AND COOLER DEWPOINTS.

THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
MODELS ARE INDICATING A POLAR FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH ON THURSDAY
BRINGING SOME ISOLATED/SCATTERED SHOWERS. HAVE A LOWER CONFIDENCE
AS THERE IS A GOOD AMOUNT OF DRY AIR ACROSS THE AREA. BEHIND THIS
FRONT IS A MORE FALL LIKE AIRMASS BRINGING OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE
40S AND HIGHS ONLY IN THE 60S WITH THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY MORNING
HAVING THE BEST SHOT FOR THE COOLEST TEMPS. HIGH PRESSURE FILTERS
IN ON FRIDAY WITH TEMPS MODERATING BACK UP TO AVERAGE BY FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /11Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

OVERVIEW...LOW CONFIDENCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF FORECAST. TAFS WERE
DERIVED FROM AN EVEN BLEND OF GFS AND NAM MODELS.

TODAY...TSTMS OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF MA/CT WILL MOVE
SOUTHEAST TOWARD RI AND SOUTHEAST MA...THEN OFFSHORE AFTER 14Z. A
BRIEF LULL BEFORE NEW TSTMS FIRE AFT 16Z. LOW CONFIDENCE ON EXACT
AREAL COVERAGE OF TSTMS. MAIN THREAT WILL BE VERY HEAVY RAIN WITH
ANY GIVEN STORM. IFR CONDITIONS THIS MORNING SHOULD LIFT TO MVFR
AND POSSIBLY VFR THIS AFTERNOON...BUT BRIEFLY BACK TO MVFR IN
TSTMS.

TONIGHT...MORE TSTMS EXPECTED BUT LOW CONFIDENCE ON AREAL
COVERAGE. AGAIN MAIN THREAT WILL BE HEAVY RAIN. MODERATE TO HIGH
PROBABILITY OF IFR ACROSS RI AND EASTERN MA.

MONDAY...SHOWERS AND TSTMS COULD BE WIDESPREAD WITH HEAVY RAIN THE
MAIN HAZARD. IFR IN THE MORNING MAY LIFT TO MVFR AND PERHAPS VFR
DURING THE AFTERNOON.

KBOS TERMINAL...LOGAN WILL BE ON THE NW FRINGE OF TSTMS THIS
MORNING. AFTER 14Z TSTMS WILL BEGIN MOVING OFFSHORE. HOWEVER NEW
TSTMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS. HEAVY RAIN THE
MAIN HAZARD WITH ANY STORM.

KBDL TERMINAL...NEW TSTMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP BY 14Z-15Z. HEAVY
RAIN THE MAIN HAZARD.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...

MONDAY NIGHT-TUESDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE
MAINLY FOR TIMING. MVFR CONDITIONS WITH LOCALIZED IFR IN
SHOWERS/TSTMS. PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL REDUCE VSBYS AS WELL.

WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

TODAY...

TSTMS WITH VERY HEAVY RAIN AND A FEW STRONGER STORMS WITH SMALL HAIL
LIKELY EARLY THIS MORNING ACROSS THE SOUTH COASTAL WATERS. STORMS
WILL BEGIN TO MOVE OFFSHORE AFTER 12Z. HOWEVER NEW TSTM WILL LIKELY
FORM OVER LAND THIS AFTERNOON. HEAVY RAIN/POOR VSBY MAIN THREAT THIS
AFTERNOON. MODEST SSW WIND AND WAVES CONTINUE.

TONIGHT AND MONDAY...

TSTMS MAY BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD/NUMEROUS THIS FORECAST PERIOD.
HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS LIKELY. SSW WINDS AND WAVES CONTINUE.
REDUCED VSBY IN HEAVY RAIN AND PATCHY FOG.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...

EXPECT SEAS TO REMAIN MOSTLY BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS THROUGH THE
PERIOD. LOW PROB FOR A FEW GUSTS TO 25 KTS ARE POSSIBLE TUES
AFTERNOON BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. OTHERWISE EXPECT WIND AND SEAS TO
BE BELOW SCA STARTING WEDNESDAY.
