:lol:

I don't think there's any NWS product more boring than heat advisory/heat warnings. Total yawn--drink a friggin' glass of water.

Turned into a beautiful afternoon--sun came out around 2:00p.m. temp stayed in the 60's FTW.

BOX now going lower 90's for both Wed-Thursday, but overnights in the mid-60's. I'm sure I'll be fine on the deck in the shade.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA

444 PM EDT MON JUN 18 2012

.SYNOPSIS...

HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE MARITIMES WILL PROVIDE ONE MORE COOL

NIGHT AND MILD DAY TOMORROW BEFORE DRIFTING SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND MID

WEEK...RESULTING IN NEAR RECORD HEAT WED AND THU ALONG WITH HUMID

CONDITIONS. A COLD FRONT WILL LIKELY BREAK THE HEAT LATE FRI OR SAT

AND MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 4 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...

STRATO-CU CONTINUES TO SLOWLY THIN/ERODE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO

THROUGH SUNSET. EVEN THE CAPE AND ISLANDS BEGINNING TO GET INTO

SOME SUNSHINE AT 330 PM. HOWEVER ONCE BOUNDARY LAYER COOLS LATER

TONIGHT LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WILL REDEVELOP BENEATH SUBSIDENCE VERSION

COURTESY OF MARITIME HIGH PRES REMAINING NEARLY STATIONARY. ANOTHER

COOL NIGHT AHEAD WITH MARITIME AIRMASS REMAINING IN PLACE.

CLOUDS OVER NY STATE AND PA ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAKENING SHORT

WAVE TROUGH. NOT EXPECTING THESE CLOUDS TO IMPACT SOUTHERN NEW

ENGLAND AS TROUGH WASHES OUT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /4 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...

TUE...

THIS WILL BE OUR TRANSITION DAY AS SUBTROPICAL RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD

OVER THE MID ATLC AND OH VLY. THIS WILL BEGIN TO CIRCULATE A PIECE

OF THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY FROM THE ROCKIES/PLAINS AND THE GREAT LAKES

INTO NEW ENGLAND TOMORROW. THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS WARMER AIR MAY

BE ACCOMPANIED BY SOME CLOUDINESS TOMORROW ESP ACROSS WESTERN NEW

ENGLAND.

HIGHS TUE WILL WARM INTO THE U70S AND L80S...WHICH IS SEASONABLY

WARM FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. WITH SURFACE WINDS BECOMING SSW MORNING

FOG AND LOW CLOUDS SHOULD ERODE QUICKER THAN PREVIOUS MORNINGS.

REGARDING PRECIP...COULD BE SOME CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH MLVL

WARM FRONT APPROACHING FROM NY STATE. BUT APPEARS MUCH IF NOT ALL

OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL PEEL OFF INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND OR DRY UP

COMPLETELY AS HEIGHTS CONTINUE TO RISE INTO NEW ENGLAND ALONG WITH

ASSOCIATED ANTICYCLONIC FLOW.

TUE NIGHT...

MLVL RIDGE CONTINUES TO BUILD INTO NEW ENGLAND SO DRY WEATHER

CONTINUES. MILD NIGHT WITH WARM AIRMASS ADVECTING INTO THE REGION.

DEW PTS WILL BE ON THE RISE AS WELL.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

BIG PICTURE...SUMMER HEAT BUILDS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS A HIGH

PRESSURE REMAINS ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. THIS HIGH PRESSURE

MOVES SLIGHTLY SOUTH THURSDAY...ALLOWING A COLD FRONT TO APPROACH

LATE THIS WEEK. DECENT MODEL AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO.

DETAILS...

WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE WITH SUBSIDENT

AIRMASS AND DOWNSLOPING WEST WINDS. OVERALL A PAIR OF FAIR DAYS.

MIXING DEPTHS ARE FORECAST AROUND 5400 FEET IN THE INTERIOR AND

SLIGHTLY LESS TOWARD THE COAST. THIS SUGGESTS THAT 850 MB WILL BE

NEAR THE TOP OF THE MIXED LAYER. TEMPERATURES AT 850 MB WEDNESDAY

ARE FORECAST AROUND 19C ON THE GFS AND 20-21C ON THE ECMWF. THIS

SUPPORTS TEMPERATURES CENTERED IN THE MID 90S...ALTHOUGH LOCATIONS

NEAR THE SOUTH COAST MAY BE IN THE 80S AND THE ISLANDS IN THE 70S.

THE WEST WIND SHOULD KEEP A LAND WIND IN PLACE AT BOSTON AND

PROVIDENCE...SO LOW TO MID 90S ARE GOOD IN THOSE AREAS. THURSDAY

IS EVEN WARMER DUE TO THE WARMER START. COULD SEE MORE THAN A FEW

PLACES APPROACH 100 DEGREES THURSDAY ACROSS THE CT AND MERRIMACK

RIVER VALLEYS.

DEW POINTS ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB INTO TO NEAR 70 DEGREES...SO IT

WILL FEEL HUMID. THE MOISTURE WILL CONTRIBUTE TO AREAS OF FOG

EACH NIGHT ESPECIALLY ALONG THE SOUTH COAST. AS THE FOG DISSIPATES

EACH DAY...THE LINGERING MOISTURE SHOULD SET UP SCATTERED DIURNAL

CUMULUS.

ONE WOULD NORMALLY EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP IN

THIS HEAT AND HUMIDITY. AT THIS POINT WE ARE THINKING THAT WILL

NOT HAPPEN ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND DUE TO A STRONG LOW-LEVEL

CAP. THERE IS PLENTY OF INSTABILITY MUCH HIGHER UP...WITH A BASE

BETWEEN 7-10 KFT. WHAT WE DO NOT HAVE IN PLACE IS ANYTHING TO

REALLY FOCUS THIS ENERGY. THIS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED AS THE

TIMING OF A COLD FRONT WILL BE CRUCIAL.

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...A SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT

LAKES DRIVES A COLD FRONT INTO THE NORTHEAST USA LATE THURSDAY

NIGHT AND FRIDAY. BUT THE DIGGING SHORTWAVE ALSO TURNS THE UPPER

FLOW NORTHEAST SO THAT MOST OF THE UPPER PUSH WILL BE ALONG THE

FRONT RATHER THAN ACROSS IT. ALSO...THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION

REMAINS WEST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND UNTIL LATE IN THE DAY FRIDAY.

WE MAINTAINED CLOUDS AND CHANCE POPS FOR SHOWERS/TSTMS WITH THIS

FRONTAL PASSAGE. TEMPERATURES ALOFT COOL TO THE MID TEENS...THIS

AND EXTRA CLOUD COVER SHOULD KEEP MAX TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S

FRIDAY.

SATURDAY-SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS AT THE SURFACE SATURDAY

BRINGING FAIR WEATHER. AN UPPER TROUGH DIGS SUNDAY AND PUSHES A

SHORTWAVE ACROSS OUR REGION. THIS COULD TRIGGER SCATTERED SHOWERS

SUNDAY...AND COOLING ALOFT MAY DESTABILIZE THE AIRMASS TO ALLOW

THUNDER. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NOTICEABLY COOLER THAN FRIDAY.

MONDAY...WATCHING THE PROGRESS OF A LOW PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS

THE NORTHERN USA LATE THIS WEEK. 18/12Z GFS IS QUICKER TO BRING

THIS LOW PRESSURE OUR WAY THAN THE 18/12Z ECMWF. WITH BOTH MODELS

SHOWING A LOW PRESSURE...HAVE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST.

THE TIMING WILL NEED TO ADJUSTED AS THIS WEEK PROGRESSES.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE SEASONABLE.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...

FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT

MODERATE...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT

HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

OVERVIEW...

PERSISTENCE APPEARS TO BE THE BEST FORECAST IN THIS WEATHER REGIME

WITH MVFR/IFR AFTER 03Z-06Z THEN IMPROVING TO VFR AROUND

MIDDAY...FIRST INLAND THEN ALONG THE COAST. DRY WEATHER AND LIGHT

WINDS PREVAIL. AS WINDS BECOME SSW TUE NIGHT IFR IS NOT EXPECTED

AS MOST TERMINALS SHOULD BE MVFR IN PATCHY FOG. FORECAST

CONFIDENCE IS HIGH BUT LOWER ON EXACT TIMING/DETAILS.

KBOS TAF...MODERATE/HIGH CONFIDENCE.

VFR WILL LOWER TO MVFR/IFR AFT 06Z THEN IMPROVE BACK TO VFR BY

MIDDAY. WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT.

KBDL TAF...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

VFR DURING THE DAY AND THEN MVFR/IFR AFT 06Z IMPROVING BACK TO VFR

BY MIDDAY. LIGHT WINDS AND DRY RUNWAYS.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.

VFR. TSTMS UNLIKELY...BUT POTENTIAL INCREASES JUST WEST OF

MASSACHUSETTS LATE THURSDAY.

FRIDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.

MOSTLY VFR. SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS POSSIBLE WHICH MAY BRING BRIEF

MVFR CIGS/VSBYS DURING THE DAY.

SATURDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.

VFR.

&&

.MARINE...

TONIGHT...

HIGH PRES WILL REMAIN ANCHORED FROM THE MARITIMES TO THE NEW ENGLAND

COAST. THIS WILL YIELD LIGHT WINDS BUT MODEST EASTERLY SWELL OF 2-5

FT WILL CONTINUE AS OCEAN STORM LINGERS OVER EASTERN GEORGES BANK.

ANOTHER ROUND OF LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING FOG AND LOW CLOUDS

EXPECTED. FORECAST CONFIDENCE HIGH.

TUE...

HIGH BEGINS TO SLIDE SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND. THIS WILL SHIFT WINDS

INTO THE SSW EXCEPT OVER EASTERN MA WATERS WHERE SE WINDS WILL

PREVAIL. EARLY MORNING FOG WILL ERODE FAIRLY QUICKLY. LEFTOVER EAST

SWELL OF 2-4 FT SHOULD PERSIST. FORECAST CONFIDENCE MODERATE TO

HIGH.

TUE NIGHT...

LESS FOG AS WINDS CONTINUE TO VEER TO THE SW. EAST SWELLS SHOULD

SUBSIDE. FORECAST CONFIDENCE MODERATE TO HIGH.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

HIGH CONFIDENCE. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING SOUTH OF THE WATERS WILL

BRING A WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE WATERS AND BRING HIGHER

HUMIDITY AIR. THIS WILL SUPPORT FOG FORMATION AT NIGHT AND EARLY

MORNING WITH POOR VISIBILITY. WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW

25 KNOTS AND 5 FEET...ALTHOUGH SEAS ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS MAY

APPROACH 5 FEET AT TIMES SOUTH AND EAST OF NANTUCKET.

Man, I've never seen someone scoff of heat so much lol. Heat can be very dangerous. 96/62 is horrible for golf/working outside/running/moving. It's good for one thing...swimming and going in AC. I'm sure you and Pete will enjoy your cool 86 degrees with a breeze to make it manageable as you will both claim.

I'll be in the 90's per BOX on Wed/Thurs.

Right now, I'm enjoying my coffee on the shade-covered deck. I'll probably be doing the same this time Wed and Thursday as well, though I probably won't have my shawl on like I do now.

Tips post from the Box discussion seems to indicate NW stays in the clouds and fog enough to take the edge of any real heat tomorrow but definitely looks like the sauna will be slowly building. Stay away from the big urban sinks come wed - fri if you can.

I'm bringing my daughters to BDL Wed afternoon. Perhaps I should take the truck and watch the thermometer rise.

Meanwhile, heading to Boston tomorrow, making a visit to BC. Tuitions, FTPL.

Not really a big deal if you prepare for it.

Even if you are working outdoors, be prepared with shade, plenty of water, and frequent breaks. If possible.

I do have to work Weds, but I might end up being in some AC for part of the day...

96/62 is not too bad. 96/75 like Orlando last summer was bearable somehow

96 both days..Smashed like MRG's hair when it gets tangled getting off the ski lift

Dude, lame, very lame. Almost as bad as your taste in sneakers. God, those are some awful looking shoes. Discount bin?

Tough to get shade when you're framing a house, frequent breaks aren't productive. When productivity decreases so do profits. All this yammering on and on about a warm day or two. Pffft.
