Flash Flooding and Flood in Rhode Island, March 30, 2014

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
704 AM EDT SUN MAR 30 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
HEAVY RAIN ENDS THIS MORNING FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND AND IS REPLACED BY LIGHT RAIN/DRIZZLE FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE DAY. A NEW AREA OF RAIN OVERSPREADS THE REGION TONIGHT WITH A
WINTRY MIX WELL INLAND...AS A COASTAL LOW DRAWS COLDER AIR INTO THIS
REGION. LIGHT RAIN...POSSIBLY MIXED WITH SNOW AND SLEET IS POSSIBLE
ALL AREAS MONDAY...THEN DRY AND MILDER WEATHER IS EXPECTED TUE
THRU THU.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
7 AM UPDATE...MADE ONLY MINOR UPDATES TO THE GRIDS TO GET THE
LATEST TRENDS IN. FORECAST CONTINUES TO BE ON TRACK WITH HEAVIER
RAIN MOVING THROUGH CT...RI...AND SE MA CURRENTLY. DRY SLOT IN
EASTERN NEW YORK STATE AND SLOWLY EDGING INTO WESTERN
MASSACHUSETTS AND CONNECTICUT THIS MORNING.

RAINFALL...

WARM CONVEYOR BELT RAINS REMAIN PROGRESSIVE WITH BACK EDGE OF PRECIP
FLYING ACROSS THE CT RVR VLY AT 4 AM. NOT OUT OF THE WOODS YET AS
CONVECTION/SHOWERS FIRING ON NOSE OF DRY SLOT ALONG AND OFF NJ
COAST...MOVING NNE INTO LONG ISLAND. THIS ACTIVITY WILL MOVE INTO
CT/RI AND MA THRU 12Z. GIVEN HOW PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM IS ANY FLOODING
SHOULD BE MINOR AND SHORT LIVED. NEVERTHELESS FLOOD WATCH REMAIN IN
EFFECT.

THEREAFTER DRY SLOT OVERSPREADS ALL OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THIS
WILL RESULT IN STEADY RAINS TRANSITIONING TO LIGHT RAIN/DRIZZLE FROM
LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON.

TEMPERATURES...

GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT THAT WARM SECTOR BRIEFLY LIFTS NORTHWARD INTO
RI AND SOUTHEAST MA TODAY...YIELDING TEMPS IN THE L50S. ELSEWHERE
COOLER NE FLOW WILL RESULT IN TEMPS IN THE 40S.

WIND...

STRONG LOW LEVEL JET MOVES ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS THIS
MORNING. BUT MODEL SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW LOW LEVEL INVERSION
SUFFICIENT TO PRECLUDE STRONGER WINDS ALOFT FROM MAKING IT TO THE
SURFACE. THUS NO WIND HEADLINES AT THIS TIME.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
*** RAIN TRANSITIONS TO FREEZING RAIN/SLEET AND SNOW TONIGHT AND
  MONDAY ACROSS WESTERN MA INTO SOUTHWEST NH ***

MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON OCCLUDED LOW MOVING SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND
TONIGHT AND MONDAY WITH COLDER AIR DRAINING SOUTHWARD INTO THE
NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE PRECIP SHIELD. INITIALLY THE COLD AIR IS
SHALLOW TO SUPPORT FREEZING RAIN ACROSS WESTERN MA AND SOUTHWEST NH.
HOWEVER BY EARLY MON COLD AIR WILL BECOME DEEP ENOUGH TO YIELD A
WINTRY MIX OF SNOW AND SLEET...POSSIBLY TRANSITIONING ALL THE WAY TO
THE COASTLINE!

RAINFALL...

DRY SLOT INITIALLY OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND EARLY THIS EVENING.
HOWEVER DEEPER MOISTURE FORMING THE COMMA HEAD/TROWAL PIVOTS SLOWLY
EASTWARD INTO WESTERN CT/MA AND SOUTHWEST NH. THEREFORE LIGHT
RAIN/DRIZZLE WILL GIVE WAY TO STEADIER AND SOMEWHAT HEAVIER RAINS.
FARTHER EAST ACROSS RI AND EASTERN MA STEADIER RAINS WILL HOLD OFF
UNTIL LATER SUN NGT OR MON AM.

ICE POTENTIAL...

GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT ON COLDER AIR DRAINING SOUTHWARD INTO WESTERN
MA AND SOUTHWEST NH. INITIALLY COLD AIR IS SHALLOW AND SUPPORTS
FREEZING RAIN PER 2 METER TEMPS AND MODEL SOUNDINGS. HOWEVER AS THE
NIGHT PROGRESSES THE COLD AIR SLOWLY BECOMES DEEPER TO SUPPORT SLEET
AND SNOW TOWARD MON MORNING. GIVEN THE GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT WE HAVE
ABOVE AVERAGE CONFIDENCE ON A PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN FOLLOWED BY
SLEET AND SNOW. ICE ACCRETION OF 0.05 TO 0.15 INCHES IS POSSIBLE
BEFORE THE CHANGEOVER TO SLEET AND SNOW. THUS WILL ISSUE A WINTRY
WEATHER ADVISORY TO INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS ON SLIPPERY TRAVEL
LATER TONIGHT INTO MON MORNING. IN FACT MIXED PRECIP MAY MAKE IT ALL
THE WAY TO THE COASTLINE MON. HOWEVER LITTLE IF ANY ACCUMULATION
EXPECTED.

WIND...

NE WINDS INCREASE TONIGHT AND MONDAY BUT MODEL SOUNDINGS SUGGEST
GUST POTENTIAL CAPPED AT 35 KT/40 MPH. STRONGER WINDS POSSIBLE MON
NIGHT. MAY NEED A WIND ADVISORY MON NGT IF LATER MODEL RUNS TREND IN
THIS DIRECTION.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...
* MORE SEASONABLE TEMPS EXPECTED THROUGH THE LONG TERM
* DRY WEATHER EXPECTED TUESDAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK
* UNSETTLED WEATHER RETURNS TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK

MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGH MUCH OF THE LONG TERM. A MID
LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF
THE WEEK RESULTING IN MOSTLY DRY WEATHER OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH QUEBEC MAY BRING A COLD FRONT THROUGH
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND DURING THIS TIME.  THERE ARE SOME DISCREPANCIES
ON THE TIMING OF THIS AS WELL AS THE STRENGTH OF THE COLD FRONT AND
MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH IT.  LATE IN THE WEEK...A TRIPLE POINT LOW
LOOKS TO DEVELOP IN THE MID-ATLANTIC FROM A WEAKENING LOW MOVING
THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND INTO QUEBEC.  THE TRIPLE POINT LOW THEN
MOVES NORTHEASTWARD TOWARDS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...BRINGING
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION TO THE REGION. AT THIS POINT...EXPECT
THIS TO BE MAINLY RAIN.

MONDAY NIGHT...PRECIP MOVES SLOWLY OFFSHORE AS LOW PRESSURE PULLS
AWAY FROM THE REGION.  PRECIP LINGERS ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS
THROUGH THE NIGHT.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...A MID LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE
NORTHEAST WITH A HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF DRY WEATHER AND SEASONABLE
TEMPERATURES.  LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH QUEBEC MAY BRING A COLD
FRONT THROUGH THE REGION SOMETIME TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.
THIS COULD RESULT IN A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS.

FRIDAY AND BEYOND...WEAKENING LOW PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH THE GREAT
LAKES INTO QUEBEC WHILE A SECONDARY LOW DEVELOPS IN THE MID-
ATLANTIC.  THERE IS INHERENT UNCERTAINTY AT THIS TIME FRAME...BUT
ALL THE MODELS ARE AT LEAST HINTING AT THIS OCCURRING.  THE
SECONDARY LOW DEEPENS AND THEN MOVES NORTHEASTWARD TOWARDS SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND.  THIS WILL BRING WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION TO THE
REGION...LIKELY IN THE FORM OF RAIN.

&&

.AVIATION /11Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

ACROSS CAPE COD AND ISLANDS AROUND 12Z YIELDING LLWS 09Z-15Z. HIGH
FORECAST CONFIDENCE.

TONIGHT...FREEZING RAIN WESTERN MA AND SOUTHWEST NH WITH
SIGNIFICANT ICING POSSIBLE. KORH AND KMHT LIKELY SOME IMPACT.
ELSEWHERE ALL RAIN EXPECTED AND MAINLY LIGHT. IFR/LIFR LIKELY. NE
WINDS ALL TERMINALS AND GUSTY ALONG THE COAST. MODERATE TO HIGH
FORECAST CONFIDENCE.

MONDAY...LIGHT PRECIP TRANSITIONING TO SLEET AND/OR LIGHT SNOW

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

TODAY...

SOUTHEAST WINDS UP TO 30 KT ACROSS THE WATERS OF CAPE COD AND THE
ISLANDS...THEN DIMINISHING AFTER 15Z. ELSEWHERE NORTHEAST WINDS 15-
25 KT. VSBY REDUCED IN HEAVY RAIN THIS MORNING...THEN DRIZZLE AND
FOG THIS AFTERNOON. ROUGH SEAS.

TONIGHT...

NE WINDS 20-30 KT ALL WATERS. VSBY REDUCED IN RAIN AND FOG. ROUGH
SEAS CONTINUE.

NE WINDS 20-30KT WITH RAIN POSSIBLY MIXING WITH SLEET AND SNOW
ESPECIALLY NORTHERN WATERS. ROUGH SEAS CONTINUE.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

MONDAY NIGHT...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE. NORTHERLY GALES EXPECTED
AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES EAST TOWARDS THE MARITIMES.  10 TO 15 FOOT
SEAS ON THE EASTERN WATERS WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH. VISIBILITIES WILL
LIKELY BE LIMITED AT TIMES IN RAIN.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. WINDS AND SEAS
SLOWLY DIMINISH AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD OVER THE
WATERS. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY STILL BE NEEDED TUESDAY
FOR WINDS AND SEAS AND WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY FOR SEAS ABOVE 5
FEET.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT ON A WIDESPREAD 1-2 INCHES RAINFALL THRU THIS
MORNING WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS UP TO 3 INCHES POSSIBLE. GIVEN HEAVY
RAIN IS FAIRLY PROGRESSIVE AND COOL TEMPS WILL PRECLUDE WATER
RELEASE FROM SNOWPACK WELL INLAND NOT EXPECTING WIDESPREAD FLOODING.
ANY FLOODING SHOULD BE SHORT LIVED AND CONFINED TO THE FLASHY SMALL
RIVERS AND STREAMS...ALONG WITH THE TYPICAL URBAN/POOR DRAINAGE
FLOODING. HEAVY RAIN THIS MORNING TRANSITIONS TO LIGHTER RAINS/
DRIZZLE LATER THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON.

STEADIER AND SOMEWHAT HEAVIER RAINS ENTER WESTERN CT/MA AND
SOUTHWEST NH TONIGHT...HOWEVER PTYPE WILL BE RAIN CHANGING TO
FREEZING RAIN AND THEN SLEET AND SNOW TOWARD MONDAY MORNING. THIS
COMBINED WITH COLDER TEMPS WILL REDUCE THE RISK FOR FLOODING. AS A
RESULT WE TRIMMED THE END TIME OF THE FLOOD WATCH TO 8 PM THIS
EVENING.

FOR RIVER FORECAST POINTS THAT ARE BEING MONITORED...GO TO
HTTP:/WATER.WEATHER.GOV/AHPS2/FORECASTS.PHP?WFO=BOX. LOCATIONS OF
CONCERN ARE THOSE FORECAST TO GO TO ACTION STAGE OR HIGHER.  NOTE
THAT THE FORECASTS GO OUT 72 HOURS...AND IN SOME INSTANCES THE
GAUGES ARE FORECAST TO BE CLIMBING THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD. AS MENTIONED...AT THIS TIME MINOR FLOODING IS EXPECTED TO BE
THE THREAT ON THE LARGER RIVERS.

WHILE REPORTS FROM OFFICIALS ACROSS THE INTERIOR INDICATE RIVER
ICE HAS DECREASED IN COVERAGE AND THICKNESS OVER THE PAST TWO
WEEKS...THERE ARE STILL INDICATIONS THAT SOME RIVERS AND STREAMS
IN SOUTHWEST NEW HAMPSHIRE AND FAR NORTHWEST MASSACHUSETTS HAVE
SUFFICIENT ICE TO WARRANT A LOW RISK OF ICE JAMS AND ICE JAM
RELATED FLOODING.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
SOUTH COAST/RI/SOUTH COASTAL MA...

VERY MARGINAL RISK FOR MINOR COASTAL FLOODING WITH THIS MORNING/S
HIGH TIDE. EXPECTING A STORM SURGE AROUND 1 FT COUPLED WITH MODEST
WAVE ACTION. ESTOFS 06 HR FORECAST VERIFYING NICELY SO FOLLOWED
THIS GUIDANCE CLOSELY. ONLY THE MOST VULNERABLE LOCATIONS ARE AT RISK.

EASTERN MA COASTLINE...

HIGH ASTRO TIDES COMBINE WITH LONG DURATION ONSHORE FLOW WILL RESULT
IN A MODERATE RISK OF MINOR COASTAL FLOODING AND A LOW RISK OF
MODERATE FLOODING. IN ADDITION...LONG DURATION OF ONSHORE FLOW
IMPACTING MULTIPLE TIDE CYCLES WILL LIKELY RESULT IN AT LEAST MINOR
BEACH EROSION AND POSSIBLY MODERATE. TIDE CYCLES OF INTEREST ARE THE
MIDDAY AND MIDNIGHT TIDES. EXPECTING ABOUT A 1 FT SURGE COUPLED WITH
5-8 FT SEAS OFFSHORE AT MIDDAY AND THEN 7 T0 9 FT FOR THE MIDNIGHT
TIDE CYCLE.
