AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
400 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/...
200 AM UPDATE...
FIRST ROUND OF HEAVY RAIN IS MOVING THROUGH THE REGION THIS
MORNING. LOOKING DOWNSTREAM APPEARS THAT PRECIP IS MORE SHOWERY IN
NATURE. HOWEVER APPEARS THAT SURFACE LOW CONTINUES TO DEVELOP
OVER THE DELMARVA REGION. AS IT DEVELOPS...SURFACE FRONTOGENESIS IS
STRENGTHENING SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND AND WITH LLJ INCREASING AND
VERY HIGH MOISTURE TRANSPORT...EXPECT PRECIP TO FILL IN SOUTH OF
LI AND CONTINUE ITS NORTHWARD TREND.
UPPER LEVEL WINDS OFF OF THE VWP CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT THE LLJ IS
INCREASING. IN FACT SURFACE WINDS OVER LONG ISLAND AND WST ARE
ALREADY GUSTING TO NEAR 30 KTS AND 35 KTS OVER THE WATER. WFO OKX
IS ALREADY REPORTING SOME TREE DAMAGE ALONG LONG ISLAND WITH THE
THE SATURATED GROUND EXPECT MORE REPORTS TO OCCUR.
ONLY MAJOR CHANGE TO THE FORECAST WAS TO SPEED UP THE TIMING OF
THE PRECIP SO EVERYONE IS OVER 100 POPS. ALSO CLEANED UP THE
ENDING TIME AS CONDITIONS TREND TO BE MORE SCT IN NATURE. IN FACT
ONCE DRY SLOT MOVES IN...WINDS GO CALM AND COULD SEE FOG/DRIZZLE
THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY TODAY. OTHERWISE FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK
FOR THIS MORNING.
NO CHANGES TO THE HAZARDS AT THIS TIME.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
*** HEAVY RAIN/LOCALIZED FLOOD THREAT VERY LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY
MORNING WITH WINDY CONDITIONS ALONG THE COAST ***
ANOMALOUS CLOSED LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL COMBINED WITH SURFACE
LOW PRESSURE TRACKING ACROSS SOUTHEAST MA TO RESULT IN A HEAVY RAIN
EVENT VERY LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. THE MAIN CONCERNS ARE
FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING AND A PERIOD OF STRONG EASTERLY WINDS ALONG
THE COAST. WILL BREAK DOWN THE POTENTIAL CONCERNS WITH THIS SYSTEM
ONE BY ONE.
1) HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALIZED FLOOD POTENTIAL:
AS WE MENTIONED QUITE THE ANOMALOUS SYSTEM FOR LATE JUNE STANDARDS.
DEEP CLOSED LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND ASSOCIATED LOW SURFACE
TRACKING ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST MA WILL SET THE STAGE FOR A HEAVY RAIN
EVENT. THE ANOMALIES FOR THIS UPCOMING EVENT ARE QUITE
REMARKABLE...ESPECIALLY WITH 925 MB EASTERLY WIND COMPONENT 5+
STANDARD DEVIATIONS FOR A TIME OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. PWATS
ARE ALSO 2 TO 3 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL AND THERE IS SOME
ELEVATED INSTABILITY. THIS WILL RESULT IN A PERIOD OF VERY STRONG
FORCING AND HEAVY RAINFALL. SOME EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE WHICH MAY RESULT IN LOCALLY HIGHER RAINFALL AMOUNTS.
FORTUNATELY...THIS SYSTEM IS FAIRLY PROGRESSIVE WHICH WILL LIMIT
RAINFALL TOTALS TO SOME EXTENT. NONETHELESS...WE ARE STILL CONCERNED
GIVEN HOW AN EXTREMELY ANOMALOUS EASTERLY JET COMBINED WITH PWATS
OVER 2 INCHES AND ELEVATED INSTABILITY.
GIVEN THE ABOVE PARAMETERS...HAVE OPTED TO EXPAND FLOOD WATCH INTO
EASTERN MA AND RHODE ISLAND. BIGGEST CONCERN IN THIS REGION IS THE
TYPICAL URBAN/STREET FLOODING WITH THE POTENTIAL OF 2+ INCH RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OCCUR IN LESS THAN 1 HOUR....ESPECIALLY IN THE TYPICALLY
PRONE LOCATIONS. FLOOD WATCH ALSO CONTINUES FOR EAST SLOPES OF
BERKSHIRES WHERE EASTERLY FLOW SHOULD RESULT IN SOME ENHANCEMENT IN
QPF.
2) WIND POTENTIAL:
THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY ON HOW MUCH WIND WILL BE ABLE TO MIX DOWN
FROM THE ANOMALOUS EASTERLY LLJ JET WITH INVERSION IN PLACE.
HOWEVER...HEAVIER RAIN OR CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS MAY ALLOW SOME OF THIS
TO MIX DOWN AT TIMES. THE NAM IS ALSO SHOWING A PERIOD OF 3 HOUR
PRESSURE FALLS CLOSE TO 6 MB...WHICH SHOULD HELP IN GETTING A PERIOD
OF 35 TO 45 MPH WINDS TO THE COASTAL PLAIN. WHILE MUCH OF THE
REGION MAY REMAIN BELOW OFFICIAL WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA...FULL
LEAFED TREES COMBINED WITH HEAVY RAIN MAY INCREASE THE RISK FOR SOME
DOWNED TREES/ISOLATED POWER OUTAGES.
THEREFORE...DECIDED TO ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR EASTERN MA AND
RHODE ISLAND. HIGHEST WINDS EXPECTED FOR VERY LATE TONIGHT INTO
SUNDAY MORNING.
3) SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL:
THE OVERALL SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL AND RISK FOR A TORNADO OR TWO
APPEARS LOW...BUT ITS NOT ZERO EITHER. GIVEN THE TRACK OF THE
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...MUCH OF THE REGION WILL LIKELY REMAIN
NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY ALL DAY. IN FACT...HIGH TEMPS MAY NOT MAKE IT
PAST THE LOWER 60S TO THE NORTH OF THE MA PIKE. THE EXCEPTION WILL
BE PORTIONS OF RHODE ISLAND AND SOUTHEAST MA...WHERE THEY SHOULD
WARM SECTOR FOR A TIME. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE BULK OF THE STRONG
FORCING WILL HAVE LIFTED TO THE NORTH. ALSO...SHALLOW COOL AIR WILL
BE SITTING JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY WHICH IS NOT CONDUCIVE
FOR A BRIEF TORNADO.
SO ALL IN ALL...APPEARS THE RISK FOR A TORNADO ON SUNDAY IS RATHER
LOW BUT GIVEN HIGH HELICITY ON THE BOUNDARY WE CAN NOT COMPLETELY
RULE IT OUT.
4) HIGH SURF:
GIVEN SEAS BUILDING TO BETWEEN 7 AND 13 FEET ACROSS OUR OUTER-
WATERS...HAVE HOISTED A HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR THE SOUTH AND EAST
FACING OCEAN EXPOSED BEACHES OF MA/RI ON SUNDAY. DANGEROUS RIP
CURRENTS ARE EXPECTED AS WELL...ALTHOUGH CERTAINLY FAR FROM AN IDEAL
BEACH DAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY 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.

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.
HOWEVER...IFR TO LOW END MVFR CONDITIONS LIKELY HANG TOUGH IN LOW
CLOUDS AND FOG AND DRIZZLE PATCHES BUT SOME TEMPORARY IMPROVEMENT
MAY OCCUR ACROSS RHODE ISLAND AND SOUTHEAST MA AS THE REGION WARM

MORNING WITH EASTERLY GUSTS BETWEEN 30 AND 40 KNOTS. GALE WARNINGS
IN EFFECT FOR ALL WATERS. SEAS ACROSS THE OUTER-WATERS WILL BUILD
TO BETWEEN 7 TO 13 FEET BY SUNDAY MORNING.
HEAVY RAIN AND A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED VERY LATE
TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. OVERALL...SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL IS
LOW BUT CAN NOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT AN ISOLATED WATERSPOUT ACROSS
OUR SOUTHERN WATERS.
OUTLOOK...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
MONDAY...ROUGH SEAS ON THE OCEAN WATERS FROM LEFTOVER LARGE SE
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.
