AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
223 PM EDT SUN SEP 13 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL SLOWLY LIFT NORTHWARD INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
TODAY. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE FROM THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST...TO THE GULF OF MAINE LATE TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
ACROSS THE EASTERN SEABOARD NEXT WEEK WITH AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF
DRY WEATHER. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK...WITH HIGHS RUNNING AROUND 10 DEGREES ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS
INTO NEXT WEEKEND. A COLD FRONT MAY APPROACH FROM THE NW SOMETIME
NEXT WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
210 PM UPDATE...
PARENT LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED OVER FAR UPSTATE NY AS OF 2
PM...WITH SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE LOCATED SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND. THE
SECONDARY LOW IS EXPECTED TO TRACK NORTHEASTWARD THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING...THROUGH/NEAR OUR AREA. WITH MARGINAL
INSTABILITY...UP TO 500 J/KG CAPE MAINLY S/W OF OUR
AREA...ISOLATED SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED WITHIN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
AND VICINITY. EXPECTING FURTHER DEVELOPMENT AS THE AFTERNOON
PROGRESSES...INFLUENCED BY A POTENT MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE
APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. MAINLY SHOWERS EXPECTED WITH SOME
LOCALIZED BRIEF MODERATE/HEAVY RAINFALL...BUT THE POTENTIAL
EXISTS FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS.
EAST WIND HAS KEPT LOW STRATUS AND FOG OVER THE AREA THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON. BEST CHANCE FOR BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS IS OVER CT/WESTERN
MA AND RI...CENTRAL AND EASTERN MA WILL PROBABLY STAY LOW
OVERCAST THRU THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY. WITH THIS IN MIND LOWERED
MAX TEMPS BY A COUPLE OF DEGREES...IN PARTICULAR THRU THE ORH-BOS
VICINITY AND NORTH.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
TONIGHT...
SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE MOVES FROM THE SOUTH COAST INTO THE GULF OF
MAINE TONIGHT. THIS WILL BRING AN END TO OUR SHOWERS FROM
SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST THIS EVENING. WINDS WILL TURN TO THE WEST
AND NORTHWEST AND BECOME GUSTY TOWARD DAYBREAK MONDAY.
MONDAY...
AN ANOMALOUS MID LEVEL TROUGH MOVES ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
DEEP LAYER MOISTURE/CONVEYOR BELT IS WELL OFFSHORE. HOWEVER...WITH
SUCH A STRONG COLD POOL ALOFT...EXPECTING PLENTY OF DIURNAL
CLOUDS. THE RISK FOR SHOWERS WILL BE A TRICKIER DETERMINATION.
WITH ONLY THE MOISTURE ACCOMPANYING THE COLD POOL AVAILABLE...ANY
SHOWERS SHOULD BE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. WOULD EXPECT MORE SHOWERS
IF THE CORE OF THIS COLD POOL PASSED CLOSER TO OUR REGION. THE
ABUNDANT CLOUDS AND COLDER AIR TO START...WILL MEAN SLIGHTLY LOWER
MAX TEMPERATURES. A GUSTY WEST WIND WILL BRING AN EARLY AUTUMN
FEEL.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...
* DRY WEATHER EXPECTED MUCH IF NOT ALL OF NEXT WEEK
* EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO RUN MUCH WARMER THAN NORMAL BY MID WEEK
INTO NEXT WEEKEND
* A COLD FRONT MAY START TO APPROACH OUT OF SOUTHERN QUEBEC NEXT
WEEKEND
OVERVIEW...
MODELS AND ENSEMBLES CONTINUE TO SHOW A STRONG SIGNAL OF BUILDING
RIDGE AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN
U.S. THROUGH MOST IF NOT ALL OF THIS LONG RANGE PERIOD. THIS MEANS
A RETURN TO DRY CONDITIONS AND WARM TEMPERATURES INTO NEXT WEEK.
EXPECT TEMPS TO RUN WELL ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS THROUGH AT LEAST
FRIDAY...POSSIBLY INTO NEXT WEEKEND.
SOME MODEL SPREAD INTO NEXT WEEKEND...WITH POSSIBILITY OF RIDGE
FLATTENING IN THE NORTHERN STREAM WHILE A COLD FRONT AND MID
LEVEL SHORT WAVE TRIES TO SINK INTO NEW ENGLAND. QUESTIONABLE
TIMING OF THIS FEATURE THIS FAR OUT...BUT SOMETHING TO MONITOR.
USED A BLEND OF AVAILABLE GUIDANCE THROUGH MOST OF THIS
PERIOD...BUT DID LEAN MORE TOWARD ENSEMBLES FOR THE SATURDAY
TIMEFRAME DUE TO TIMING DIFFERENCES WITH THE POSSIBLE APPROACH OF
THE FRONT IF IT MAKES IT THAT FAR S WITH THE STRONG RIDGE IN
PLACE.
MONDAY NIGHT-TUESDAY...
H5 TROUGH EXITS THE REGION EARLY MON NIGHT...SO EXPECT SKIES TO
BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR TO CLEAR OVERNIGHT. W-NW WINDS WILL BE IN
PLACE SO EXPECT TEMPS TO FALL BACK THROUGH THE 50S. A FEW SPOTS
MAY DROP TO THE UPPER 40S IN THE FAR INLAND VALLEYS...WHILE
HOLDING AT AROUND 60 ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST. MAY SEE TYPICAL
LATE NIGHT PATCHY FOG DEVELOP ACROSS THE INLAND VALLEY LOCATIONS.
ON TUESDAY...HIGH PRES BUILDS E OUT OF THE APPALACHIANS AND MID
ATLC STATES. W-NW FLOW REMAINS IN PLACE WITH DEWPTS MAINLY IN THE
LOWER- MID 50S...SO WILL BE COMFORTABLE ACROSS THE REGION. NOTING
LOW LEVEL MIXING UP TO 900 HPA THOUGH WIND SPEEDS ONLY RUNNING AT
10-15 KT. EXPECTING TEMPS TO RISE TO THE MID 70S WELL INLAND AND
ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN TO THE LOWER 80S AT MANY INLAND LOCATIONS.
WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
SURFACE HIGH PRES SETTLES ACROSS THE EASTERN SEABOARD ON
WEDNESDAY...THEN SLOWLY DRIFTS S THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK
WEEK. LIGHT NORTHERLY WINDS ON WED WILL SHIFT TO S-SW THU AND FRI.
NOTING H925 WARM TEMP AXIS SURGING INTO THE REGION...WITH READINGS
UP TO +20C TO +22C BOTH THU AND FRI. DEWPTS WILL SLOWLY RISE TO
THE LOWER- MID 60S DURING THIS TIMEFRAME...SO WILL BECOME A BIT
STICKY OUT OF DOORS. TEMPS WILL TOP OFF IN THE LOWER-MID 80S AWAY
FROM THE S COAST EACH DAY...BUT HOLDING IN THE MID-UPPER 70S ALONG
THE IMMEDIATE S COAST.
MAY SEE PATCHY FOG DEVELOP EACH LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING TIMEFRAME
IN THE NORMALLY PRONE INLAND VALLEYS AS WELL AS ALONG THE S COAST.
SATURDAY...
QUESTIONS ABOUND WITH TIMING AND TRACK OF H5 SHORT WAVE IN THE
NORTHERN STREAM FLOW AND HOW FAR S THIS WILL PUSH...ALONG WITH
ITS ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT. WITH SUCH A STRONG SURFACE AND
UPPER RIDGE IN PLACE...MAY BE TOUGH TO MOVE INTO THE REGION
DURING SATURDAY. EXPECT ANOTHER WARM DAY WITH SW WINDS IN PLACE.
HAVE MENTIONED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS INTO N CENTRAL AND WESTERN
AREAS DURING SAT AFTERNOON...BUT RATHER LOW CONFIDENCE DUE TO
MODEL VARIANCE.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...MODEARATE CONFIDENCE ON
TRENDS...LOWER CONFIDENCE ON TIMING.
AREAS OF IFR-LIFR CONDITIONS WITH AREAS OF FOG/DRIZZLE LINGER
ACROSS MUCH OF EASTERN & CENTRAL MA THRU THIS AFTERNOON...DUE TO
PERSISTENT E FLOW. CIGS SHOULD IMPROVE TO MVFR ALONG S COASTAL MA
AND RI...AS WELL AS NORTHERN CT/WESTERN MA...AS THE AFTERNOON
PROGRESSES.
REDEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON CONTINUING INTO
TONIGHT...THEN ENDING AROUND MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS CANNOT BE RULED OUT.
EXTREMELY STRONG WINDS FROM THE SOUTH WILL BE BLOWING IN THE MID
AND UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE...RANGING FROM 65 KT AT 18000
FT TO 110 KT AT 30000 FT. HOWEVER...THIS INCREASE SHOULD BE
GRADUAL ENOUGH AT LOW LEVELS TO PRECLUDE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR. BUT
PILOTS SHOULD BE VERY AWARE OF THESE SPEEDS.
MONDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR WITH MARGINAL MVFR-VFR CIGS POSSIBLE
HIGHER TERRAIN IN SPOT SHOWER. GUSTY WEST WINDS UP TO 25 KT.
KBOS TERMINAL...OVERALL MODERATE CONFIDENCE DUE TO TIMING ISSUES
WITH LOWER CIGS.
KBDL TERMINAL...OVERALL MODERATE CONFIDENCE DUE TO TIMING ISSUES
OF LOWER CIGS.
OUTLOOK /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MONDAY NIGHT...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.
EXPECT MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS. MAY SEE LOCAL MVFR-IFR VSBYS IN
PATCHY LATE NIGHT FOG ACROSS NORMALLY PRONE AREAS ACROSS THE CT
VALLEY AND E SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES. W WINDS GUSTING TO 20 KT
EARLY ALONG E COAST THEN DIMINISHING.
TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
VFR. MAY SEE BRIEF MVFR-IFR VSBYS IN PATCHY FOG LATE TUE AND WED
NIGHTS ACROSS PRONE INLAND LOCATIONS...WHICH SHOULD IMPROVE BY
AROUND 12Z-13Z.

FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

SCATTERED SHOWERS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AN AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS SOUTHEAST MA THIS EVENING. BEHIND THIS
LOW PRESSURE...WINDS MAY AGAIN INCREASE TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
THRESHOLDS FROM THE WEST TOWARD DAYBREAK MONDAY. SEAS ARE FORECAST
TO BUILD UP TO 5 TO 7 FT OVER THE COASTAL WATERS SOUTH OF NEW
ENGLAND LATE TONIGHT. WEST WINDS 20 TO 25 KT WITH DRY WEATHER AND
GOOD VSBY FOR MONDAY.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL CONTINUE FOR AT LEAST A PORTION OF
THE WATERS INTO MONDAY. DESPITE A BRIEF PERIOD OF MORE TRANQUIL
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN OUTER COASTAL WATERS THIS
MORNING...THOUGHT IT WOULD BE LESS CONFUSING TO CONTINUE THE SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THESE WATERS...AS ROUGH SEAS AND GUSTY WINDS
RETURN THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT.
OUTLOOK /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MONDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
EXPECT W WINDS GUSTING TO 25 KT ON THE OUTER WATERS MONDAY
EVENING...THEN DIMINISHING. SEAS WILL LINGER AROUND 5-7 FT
EARLY...THEN WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE BUT MAY REMAIN AROUND 5 FT ON
THE FAR OUTER WATERS THROUGH THE NIGHT.
TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
EXPECT WINDS AND SEAS REMAINING BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA. MAY
SEE SW WIND GUSTS UP TO 20 KT DURING LATE THU/THU NIGHT ON THE
