Rich's Local Weather Discussion:
7/03 - 12:17PM: Some sunshine to start off the day today. A cold front will touch off some thunderstorms later his afternoon. Chance of showers on Saturday and Sunday, but it will most likely remain dry for a good portion of the time. I don't see any steady rain like the stuff we've had but there will be pockets of heavy rainfall.
SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHEAST MOVES TO QUEBEC SAT FORCING A COLD
FRONT ACROSS OUR AREA. DRIER WEATHER ARRIVES SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS
THE LOW MOVES OFF. ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ARRIVES WITH
SCATTERED SHOWERS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS WITH
DRY WEATHER THURSDAY.
From the NWS:
ALL IN ALL...PARAMETERS FOR SEVERE WEATHER ARE NOT IMPRESSIVE.
HOWEVER...COLD POOL ALOFTS OFTEN OVER PERFORM IN SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. THEREFORE...WILL CONTINUE ENHANCED WORDING FOR HAIL IN THE
FORECAST. REPORTS OF PEA SIZE HAIL ARE LIKELY LATER THIS AFTERNOON
WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS. HOWEVER...A FEW OF THE STORMS MAY BECOME
SEVERE AND PRODUCE PENNY TO NICKEL SIZED HAIL. TOUGH TO PINPOINT
WHERE EXACTLY THE BEST CHANCE FOR THIS WILL BE...BUT THE SREF
PROBABILITIES INDICATE THE HIGHEST INSTABILITY JUST TO THE NORTHWEST
OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR.
A BIGGER CONCERN WILL BE THE WEAK WINDS ALOFT...RESULTING IN THE
SLOW MOVEMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS. THE GROUND ACROSS THE REGION IS
SATURATED FROM THE HEAVY RAINS OF THE PAST FEW DAYS. THEREFORE...A
STRONG THUNDERSTORM WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAIN AND
LOCALIZED FLOODING. THEREFORE...THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR
ALL BUT THE CAPE/ISLANDS.
Hazardous Weather Outlook:
TODAY AND TONIGHT.
FLASH FLOOD WATCH.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND
INTO THE EARLY EVENING. THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL PRODUCE HAIL. MOST
OF THE HAIL WILL BE PEA SIZE...BUT A FEW OF THE STORMS MAY BECOME
SEVERE. THE MAIN THREAT WITH ANY SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WILL BE PENNY TO
NICKEL SIZE HAIL.
IN ADDITION...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS TODAY ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE SOUTH COAST...MARTHAS VINEYARD AND BLOCK ISLAND.
SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
THERE IS A CHANCE OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ON
SATURDAY...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE MASS PIKE.
7/02 - 12:22PM: Quite a bit of rain this morning with flash flood advisories west of Nashua. More showers and thunderstorms tonight and Friday. Another low is expected to drop down form the north later on Saturday. We MAY break out of the wet pattern briefly this weekend. Uncertain as to whether we'll see any extended dry weather into next week. The July Almanac has been posted. July is the month where the heat peaks for New England. It's downhill after this.
SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND ITS ASSOCIATED FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL RESULT IN UNSETTLED WEATHER THROUGH FRIDAY. YET
ANOTHER UPPER LOW WILL DROP SOUTHWARD FROM CANADA LATE SATURDAY
MOVING TO THE EAST SUNDAY. THE GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN MAY TURN A
LITTLE DRIER EARLY NEXT WEEK.
Hazardous Weather Outlook:
TODAY AND TONIGHT.
FLASH FLOOD WATCH.
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR TODAY AND TONIGHT. THERE ALSO IS
THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
EARLY THIS EVENING...MAINLY SOUTH OF THE MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE. THE
MAIN RISK WOULD BE FOR A FEW REPORTS OF LARGE HAIL AND OR DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS. HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE FOR ANY SEVERE WEATHER IS BELOW AVERAGE
AND WILL DEPEND UPON IF ANY BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS DEVELOP SOUTH OF THE
MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE.
.FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WITH HAIL ARE AGAIN POSSIBLE
FRIDAY.
THERE IS A CHANCE OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ON
SATURDAY...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE MASS PIKE.
IN ADDITION...THERE IS A RISK OF PATCHY DENSE FOG LATE AT NIGHT OR
EARLY IN THE MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING.
THIS MORNING/S LOW CLOUDS AND FOG PATCHES ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH
BY MID MORNING. INCREASING SUNSHINE AND HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID
TO UPPER 70S WILL BE THE PREVAILING WEATHER FEATURE TODAY.
HOWEVER...ANOTHER WEATHER DISTURBANCE LOCATED ACROSS WESTERN
PENNSYLVANIA THIS MORNING WILL TRACK EAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
DURING THE AFTERNOON. THEREFORE...EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ONCE AGAIN TO DEVELOP BUT WILL BE LESS NUMEROUS THAN YESTERDAY.
THE GROUND IS SATURATED FROM HEAVY RAINFALL DURING THE PAST COUPLE
OF DAYS...ANY ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL COULD CAUSE LOCALIZED
FLOODING OF URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS.
THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DIMINISH DURING THIS EVENING
WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. FOG PATCHES WILL LIKELY FORM AGAIN
OVERNIGHT ACROSS SOME OF THE SHELTERED VALLEYS DUE TO SATURATED
GROUND AS WELL AS ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.
SATURDAY...INDEPENDENCE DAY...YET ANOTHER WEATHER DISTURBANCE
APPROACHES FROM CANADA. THIS DISTURBANCE WILL HAVE LIMITED MOISTURE
TO WORK WITH SO ANY SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE WIDELY
SCATTERED AND BE CONFINED NORTH OF THE MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE.
ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE CENTER WILL AFFECT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND LATE
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY... BRINGING CHANCES FOR MORE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE LATE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. CONDITIONS FOR THE
WEEKEND SHOULD BE BETTER THAN WE HAVE SEEN LATELY...WARMER
TEMPERATURES AND PERIODS OF SUNSHINE. THE GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN
MAY TURN A LITTLE DRIER EARLY NEXT WEEK.
