AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
443 AM EDT SUN JUN 28 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
A WINDSWEPT RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES CONTINUES EARLY THIS MORNING
WITH LOCALIZED FLOODING POSSIBLE. RAIN TAPERS OFF TO SHOWERS
AND/OR DRIZZLE LATE THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. STRONG EAST
WINDS THIS MORNING MAY RESULT IN A FEW DOWN TREE LIMBS/BRANCHES
AND ISOLATED POWER OUTAGES. DRY WEATHER RETURNS MONDAY WITH
TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN NORMAL. WARMER WEATHER ARRIVES
TUE AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT WHICH WILL RESULT IN SCATTERED
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TUE NIGHT INTO WED. SOME STORMS MAY BE
STRONG WED. BEHIND THE FRONT DRIER WEATHER RETURNS THU. SCATTERED
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE AGAIN FRI AND/OR SATURDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
*** HEAVY RAIN/LOCALIZED FLOOD THREAT AND WINDY CONDITIONS CONTINUE
THIS MORNING ***
OVERALL THOUGHT PROCESS WITH THE FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK...
THEREFOR NO CHANGES TO THE HAZARDS AT THIS TIME.
UPPER LEVEL LOW CURRENTLY OVER THE GREAT LAKES HAS DEVELOPED A
SECONDARY SURFACE LOW OVER THE DELMARVA. THIS LOW IS CURRENTLY OVER
SOUTH JERSEY AS OF 4 AM. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS LOW COMBINED WITH A
STRONG LLJ AND TROPICAL CONNECTIONS HAS ALLOWED FOR HEAVY RAIN TO
FALL OVERNIGHT AND WINDS TO GUSTS BETWEEN 35-45 MPH ACROSS SOUTH
COAST.
RAINFALL/FLOODING...
WIDESPREAD RAINFALL CONTINUES TO FALL ACROSS THE REGION EARLY THIS
MORNING. LOCATIONS ACROSS THE BERKS APPEAR TO HAVE THE HIGHER
RAINFALL TOTALS WITH MANY SITES RECEIVING CLOSE TO AN INCH. GUIDANCE
CONTINUE TO PINPOINT THIS REGION AS ONE OF THE QPF MAXS SO HAVE
CONTINUED THE FLOOD WATCH.
LOOKING DOWNSTREAM APPEARS THAT PRECIP IS MORE SHOWERY IN NATURE.
HOWEVER AS THE SURFACE LOW CONTINUES TO DEVELOP OVER THE MID-
ATLANTIC REGION IT WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN SURFACE FRONTOGENESIS
OVER LONG ISLAND. THIS COMBINED WITH THE STRONG LLJ AND VERY HIGH
MOISTURE TRANSPORT...EXPECT PRECIP TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND MOVE
NORTHWARD. IN FACT OFF OF SPC MESO PAGE...PWAT VALUES ARE REACHING
OVER 2 INCHES JUST SOUTH OF THE REGION...AND WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
SOME ELEVATION CONVECTION...COULD SEE A SECONDARY MAX OVER THE 95
CORRIDOR INTO NE MASS. HI-RES AND SYNOPTIC GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO
PINPOINT THIS REGION STILL...SO WILL CONTINUE WITH THE FLOOD WATCH.
BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE CONVECTION OFFSHORE. CURIOUS IF IT WILL ROB
THE REGION FROM SOME OF THE ACTION. HOWEVER WITH A FIREHOSE OF
MOISTURE COMING IN FROM THE EAST...AND UPWARD FLOW OVER THE SURFACE
BOUNDARY SOUTH OF LI...ANTICIPATE PRECIP TO CONTINUE INTO THE MID-
MORNING HOURS. ONCE THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BEGINS ITS NORTHEASTWARD
MOVEMENT...IT WILL PUSH THE BOUNDARY CLOSER TO NEW ENGLAND. THIS
WILL ALLOW FOR A DRY SLOT TO DEVELOP AND MOVE THROUGH. ANTICIPATE
STEADIER RAIN TO TURN MORE SHOWERY LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON
HOURS. WITH THE DRY SLOT ALOFT...AND AN INVERSION TRAPPING THE LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE EXPECT STRATUS/FOG AND DRIZZLE TO DEVELOP THIS
AFTERNOON LASTING WELL UNTIL THE EVENING HOURS. DEF NOT AN IDEAL DAY
FOR THE FIRST WEEKEND OF SUMMER.
WINDS...
CONTINUE WITH THE WIND ADVISORY FOR TODAY. MANY SITES ACROSS LONG
ISLAND AND THE SOUTH COAST ARE ALREADY RECEIVING GUSTS BETWEEN 35-45
MPH. THE OKX WFO HAD REPORTED SOME TREE DAMAGE EARLY THIS MORNING
ACROSS LONG ISLAND...WITH GUSTS AROUND 33 KTS. BELIEVE SATURATED
GROUND AND FULLY LEAVED TREES AIDED IN THE DAMAGE REPORT. ONCE THE
SUN COMES UP...ANTICIPATE MORE REPORTS TO FILTER INTO THE OFFICE AS
GUSTY WINDS BETWEEN 35-50 MPH WILL OCCUR IN THE ADVISORY AREA.
00Z GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THE JET WITH 925 MB
INCREASING BETWEEN 50-60 KTS AROUND 12Z. THIS JET MAY MIX DOWN
WITHIN ANY OF THE HEAVIER SHOWERS OR IF ANY ELEVATED CONVECTION
DEVELOPS ALONG THE NOSE OF THE JET. WINDS WILL BEGIN TO DECREASE 10
AM FOR RHODE ISLAND AND CAPE/ISLANDS...CLOSER TIL NOON FOR THE
NORTHEAST AREAS.
CONVECTION...
GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO PUSH THE BOUNDARY FURTHER SOUTH EACH RUN.
THEREFORE HAVE A LOW CONFIDENCE IF SNE WILL GET INTO THE WARM
SECTOR. IN FACT...HIGH TEMPS TODAY WILL BE QUITE RAW WITH HIGHS
REACHING IN THE LOW 60S...WITH 70S RIGHT ALONG THE COAST WHERE WARM
FRONT MAY SIT. WE MAY BE A FEW DEGREES SHY OF COOLEST MAX
TEMPERATURE. STILL CANT RULE OUT SOME ELEVATED THUND EARLY THIS
MORNING ALONG THE NOSE OF THE LLJ...BUT IN TERMS OF SEVERE
WEATHER...THE BEST THREAT WILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS.
HIGH SURF...
GIVEN SEAS BUILDING TO BETWEEN 7 AND 13 FEET ACROSS OUR OUTER-
WATERS...CONTINUES THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR THE SOUTH AND EAST
FACING OCEAN EXPOSED BEACHES OF MA/RI. DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS ARE
EXPECTED AS WELL...ALTHOUGH CERTAINLY FAR FROM AN IDEAL BEACH DAY.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
HEAVY RAIN SHOULD BE WELL OVER BY TONIGHT. SURFACE LOW WILL BE
MOVING OFFSHORE PUTTING THE REGION BACK INTO A NORTHWEST FLOW.
HOWEVER COULD STILL SEE FOG AND DRIZZLE OVER NIGHT WITH THE
TRAPPED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE BY MONDAY
MORNING HOURS.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...
* DRY AND PLEASANT MONDAY
* SCATTERED SHOWERS/T-STORMS POSSIBLE TUE NIGHT/WED AND AGAIN
FRIDAY AND/OR SATURDAY WITH MANY HOURS OF DRY WEATHER IN BETWEEN
* SOME STORMS MAY BE STRONG WEDNESDAY
SYNOPTIC OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCES...
ENSEMBLES AND DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT ON THIS
HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN CONTINUING THIS PERIOD WITH A PERSISTENT
RIDGE/HEIGHT ANOMALY OVER WESTERN CONUS/SOUTHWEST CANADA. THIS
MAINTAINS A DOWNSTREAM HIGH AMPLITUDE TROUGH WITH ITS MEAN POSITION
CENTERED OVER THE GREAT LAKES. THIS RESULTS IN A VERY ACTIVE
NORTHERN STREAM JET WITH CYCLONIC FLOW INTO NEW ENGLAND MUCH OF THIS
PERIOD...YIELDING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS/T-STORMS ABOUT EVERY OTHER
DAY. IN BETWEEN MANY HOURS OF DRY WEATHER ALONG WITH NEAR SEASONABLE
TEMPERATURES. AS FOR THE MODEL GUIDANCE...THE OPERATIONAL GFS AND
ECMWF ARE IN REMARKABLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON BOTH THE DEPTH AND TIMING
OF INDIVIDUAL SHORT WAVES THRU WED. THUS WILL FOLLOW THIS GUIDANCE
CLOSELY. HOWEVER BY LATE IN THE WEEK AND INTO NEXT WEEKEND THE
DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE BEGINS TO SHOW ITS TYPICAL SHORT COMINGS AT
THIS TIME RANGE WITH LARGE DIFFERENCES IN TIMING AND AMPLITUDE OF
INDIVIDUAL TROUGHS. THUS LEANED MORE ON THE ENSEMBLES HERE.
DAILY SENSIBLE WEATHER...
MONDAY...OPEN MID LEVEL WAVE IN ST LWRN RVR VLY EXITS INTO THE
MARITIMES WITH HEIGHT RISES AND WARMING TEMPS ALOFT OCCURRING OVER
NEW ENGLAND. DESPITE SOME MODELS GENERATING QPF THIS PATTERN WILL
SUPPORT A DRY DAY WITH TEMPS SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN NORMAL.
NEVERTHELESS A VERY NICE DAY.
TUESDAY...NEXT SHORT WAVE TROUGH APPROACHES THE REGION FROM THE OH
VLY. APPEARS WARM FRONTAL CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE TUE BUT LIKELY
CONFINED TO THE CT RVR VLY AND WESTWARD INTO NY STATE. THUS MUCH OF
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL REMAIN DRY. S-SW SURFACE WINDS WILL
SUPPORT WEAK LOW LEVEL WAA SO TEMPS CLIMBING INTO THE U70S AND
L80S...JUST ABOUT NORMAL FOR LATE JUNE. COOLEST READINGS ALONG THE
SOUTH COAST.
WEDNESDAY...SHORT WAVE TROUGH CLOSER TO THE REGION YIELDING A HIGHER
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND T-STORMS THAN TUE. GFS/ECMWF AND GEFS ALL
SUGGEST MODEST INSTABILITY AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR FOR THE RISK OF A
FEW STRONG T-STORMS. WARM AND HUMID WITH RELIEF ARRIVING WED NIGHT
OR THU AS POST FRONTAL AIRMASS OVERSPREADS THE REGION.
THU/FRI/SAT...AS MENTIONED ABOVE DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE BEGINS TO
DISPLAY LARGE SPREAD HERE SO LEANED HEAVILY ON THE ENSEMBLES FOR
THIS TIME PERIOD...WHICH SUGGEST DRY AND SEASONABLE WEATHER THU
BEHIND DEPARTING TROUGH WED. THEN A RISK FOR SHOWERS/T-STORMS FRI
AND/OR SAT AS NEXT NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH APPROACHES NEW ENGLAND.
TEMPS NEAR SEASONABLE FRI/SAT.

EASTERLY WINDS WILL PICK UP WITH GUSTS NEAR 30 KTS ALONG THE
COASTLINES OF RA/MA.
AFTER 12Z...MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS AREA WIDE AS +SHRA CONTINUES TO
MOVE ACROSS THE REGION. E-SE WIND GUSTS WILL INCREASE BETWEEN 30

ENTIRE REGION WITH AN ANOMALOUS EAST TO SOUTHEAST LOW LEVEL JET.
EMBEDDED ISOLD THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY NEAR THE
SOUTH COAST THIS MORNING.
RAIN TAPERS OFF TO SCATTERED SHOWERS FROM WEST TO EAST THIS AFTERNOON.

THE OUTER- WATERS WILL BUILD TO BETWEEN 7 TO 13 FEET BY SUNDAY
MORNING.
HEAVY RAIN AND A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED EARLY THIS
MORNING. OVERALL...SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL IS LOW BUT CAN NOT
COMPLETELY RULE OUT AN ISOLATED WATERSPOUT ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN

SWELLS. DRY WEATHER AND GOOD VSBY.
TUESDAY...WINDS BECOME SOUTH WITH MAINLY DRY WEATHER AND GOOD VSBY.
TUE NIGHT AND WED...S-SW WINDS INCREASE AHEAD OF APPROACHING COLD
FRONT. SHOWERS AND T-STORMS BECOME LIKELY AS WELL.
THURSDAY...IMPROVING TRENDS WITH FRONT LIKELY WELL OFFSHORE.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
WIDESPREAD RAINFALL OF 1-3 INCHES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS IS
EXPECTED. AT THIS TIME...MOST AREA RIVERS ARE AT THEIR NORMAL
SEASONAL LOW POINTS AND SHOULD REMAIN IN THEIR BANKS.
HOWEVER...WITH THE VERY HIGH PWATS AND POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTIVE
ELEMENTS...ITS POSSIBLE FFG MAY BE EXCEEDED IN SOME AREAS.
WIDESPREAD FFG VALUES ARE NEARLY 2.0 INCHES/1 HOUR...2.5 INCHES/3
HOUR...AND 3 INCHES/6 HOUR RATES. NORMALLY FLASHY BASINS/STREAMS
MAY NEED TO BE MONITORED. ALSO...URBAN FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE
AS WELL AS FFG RATES WILL BE LOWER IN THESE LOCATIONS.
APPEARS THAT THERE WILL BE 2 MAXIMUM IN QPF. ONE OVER THE EAST
SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES WITH UPSLOPE FLOW. THE SECOND ONE WILL BE
SOMEWHERE OVER EASTERN MA/RHODE ISLAND JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ESPECIALLY IF CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS CAN
GET INVOLVED. THOSE ARE THE TWO AREAS WHERE A FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN
ISSUED.
