Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
1038 AM EDT Wed Jul 31 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
Heat and humidity continues today, especially in eastern New
England. An approaching cold front will bring scattered showers
and thunderstorms away from the south coast this afternoon and
evening with a few strong to severe storms possible. A few
lingering showers and thunderstorms are possible tonight into
Thursday, with the focus shifting into eastern New England.
The risk of a few showers or thunderstorms continue over the
weekend, otherwise dry weather is expected through early next
week with near normal temperatures for early August.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1030 am update...
Forecast is on track. Fog and low clouds have dissipated leaving
mostly sunny skies for eastern zones and partly clouds skies to
the west. These clouds will continue to stream in and move east
through the day as moisture advection increases ahead of the
front. Where sunny skies linger the longest we will see the
hottest temperatures this afternoon. Latest high-res models
support current expectation of scattered showers and storms this
afternoon, mainly between 3 PM and 8 PM. A little concerned we
might see an organized line of storms develop per HRRR with
potential for wind damage and localized minor flooding. Current
forecast has this all handled well.
Previous discussion...
Mid level trough approaches from the Gt Lakes today with lead
shortwave energy moving into the region toward evening. Given
hot and humid airmass and slight cooling aloft, substantial
instability will develop with SBCAPEs 2000-3000 J/kg and MLCAPEs
up to 2000 J/kg which should compensate for weak mid level lapse
rates. With better deep layer moisture and forcing ahead of the
trough, expect sct showers/t-storms to develop in the afternoon
with greater coverage than last few days. Main focus for
convection will be north of the south coast as some drier air
lifts north from the ocean as noted by much lower KI values.
0-6km shear increases a bit ahead of the trough, around 20-25 kt
which is still marginal but may be enough for a few organized
storms given the magnitude of instability. A few strong to
severe storms will be possible with the main risk being locally
strong to damaging wind gusts given rather steep low level lapse
rates approaching 9 C/km and inverted-V sounding profile.
Locally heavy rainfall also possible as PWATs increase to over
1.75".
Another hot and humid day, especially for eastern New Eng where
most sunshine expected. 850 mb temps 18C support highs 90-95 in
eastern MA away from immediate south coast, and 85-90 for much
of the rest of SNE. Dewpoints in the lower 70s will result in
heat indices approaching 100 degrees in eastern MA and mid 90s
in RI. Expanded the heat advisory to much of RI and the south
coast of MA.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
Tonight...
Still plenty of instability in the evening with shortwave and
attending weak cold front moving across the region so expect sct
showers/t-storms in the evening. Then activity diminishing but
shifting to eastern and SE New Eng overnight as moisture axis
moves east.
Thursday...
Mid level trough shifts east of New Eng but cold front will
stall somewhere across eastern New Eng where instability
persists. This may provide a focus for a few showers or a
t-storm in eastern New Eng but much drier air in mid levels will
be moving south across the region so probably only small window
for convection. Temps aloft cool but still 15-16C at 850 mb so
expect highs in the mid/upper 80s, except a bit cooler along the
coast where sea breezes expected to develop.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Highlights...
* Few showers or storms over the weekend, otherwise dry with near
normal temperatures.
Overview...
Large scale pattern remains blocky into early next week and should
feature a persistent trough over eastern third of country as upper
ridge remains in place over desert southwest. This favors a few
showers or storms over weekend as warm front lifts through SNE
Friday night and Saturday, followed by cold front Sunday. Otherwise
dry weather prevails into early next week along with near normal
temperatures for early August.
