...HIGH WIND WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH
SATURDAY AFTERNOON...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN TAUNTON HAS ISSUED A HIGH WIND WATCH...
WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
IT COVERS ALL OF RHODE ISLAND AND MUCH OF EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS. IT
INCLUDES LAWRENCE...BOSTON...BROCKTON...PROVIDENCE...WESTERLY...NEW
BEDFORD...THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.

A TWO TO 4 HOUR PERIOD OF SOUTHEASTERLY SQUALLS WILL BRING BRIEF
INTENSE SHOWERS TO RHODE ISLAND AND THE COASTAL PLAIN OF EASTERN
MASSACHUSETTS. STRONGEST SOUTHEAST WINDS SHOULD OCCUR BETWEEN 10 AM
AND 4 PM SATURDAY WITH GUSTS OF 45 TO 60 MPH EXPECTED. THUNDERSTORMS
MAY ACCOMPANY THE STRONGER WIND GUSTS DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON.
THEN AN ABRUPT WIND SHIFT TO WEST LATE IN THE DAY MAY BE MARKED BY A
FEW MINUTES OF WIND GUSTS ALSO OF 45 TO 60 MPH.

WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH AT NIGHT BUT SUNDAY IS LIKELY TO SEE BLUSTERY
WEST WIND GUSTS OF 40 TO 50 MPH DURING THE MIDDAY AND AFTERNOON
HOURS.

THE COMBINATION OF THE WIND AND STILL PARTIALLY LEAFED TREES WILL
PROBABLY RESULT IN POCKETS OF BROKEN TREE LIMBS...POWER OUTAGES AND
POSSIBLY UPROOTED TREES.

IF CONFIDENCE IN THIS OUTLOOKED STORM CONTINUES TO GROW...ADVISORIES
OR WARNINGS WOULD BE ISSUED FRIDAY OR EARLY SATURDAY.

THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE THAT SPOTTY DAMAGING WIND WILL OCCUR EVEN SUNDAY
AFTERNOON... ESPECIALLY IN THE CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY AND THE NORTHERN
TWO THIRDS OF MASSACHUSETTS INTO SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

A HIGH WIND WATCH MEANS THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR STRONG DAMAGING
WINDS TO DEVELOP IN THE MENTIONED AREAS. THESE STRONG WINDS ARE
CAPABLE OF DOWNING TREES AND POWER LINES AS WELL AS CAUSING PROPERTY
DAMAGE. IF A HIGH WIND WARNING IS ISSUED...STAY INSIDE AND AWAY FROM
WINDOWS.

Impressive setup underway. The AFD out of Taunton today is a mile long, so I won't post it all, but here are some highlights and the link. http://www.erh.noaa.gov/box/displayazone.php?product=BOSAFDBOX&version=0

THIS MERGER OF THE STREAMS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN EXPLOSIVE CYCLOGENESIS OVER THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC STATES EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. THIS PROCESS SETS EVERYTHING IN MOTION FOR SATURDAY...INCLUDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A HIGHLY ANOMALOUS LOW LEVEL JET.

A SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET OF NEARLY 100 KNOTS WILL LIKELY FORM TO THE EAST OF THE LOW CENTER...WHICH WILL ACT TO DRAG ANOMALOUSLY HIGH VALUES OF PRECIPITABLE WATER NORTHWARD. THE RAIN WILL BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES SATURDAY MORNING...WITH THUNDER EXPECTED.

SFC PRESSURE FALLS OF NEARLY 20MB PER 6 HR ARE EXPECTED OVER THE REGION BETWEEN 12Z AND 18Z SATURDAY WHICH IS VERY IMPRESSIVE.

OVERALL...WE HAVE TO BE AWARE THAT A VERY ANOMALOUS STORM SYSTEM WILL LIKELY AFFECT THE REGION THIS WEEKEND...WHICH COULD RESULT IN WIDESPREAD WIND DAMAGE AND HEAVY RAINS. SEVERE CONVECTION NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION EITHER IN WARM SECTOR ON SATURDAY...WHICH COULD COME IN THE FORM OF A THIN-LINE WHICH COULD PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS OF THEIR OWN AS THEY TAP THE 70-90 MPH WINDS ALOFT. GFS HAS STORM DOWN TO 973 MB AT THIS TIME ... WE THINK THERE WILL BE A PULSE OF G40 KTS IN WLY FLOW SAT EVENING ASSOCD WITH STG 850 MB CAA AND IMPRESSIVE PRESSURE RISE FALL COUPLET WHICH INCREASES FROM 23 TO 30 MB FROM 00-06Z.

Hope you're leaving soon so you don't caught on the bridge in the wind.

[angelwing]

No problem tonight, I'm in Philly no need to cross any bridges:) Only 8 miles away from home, I left NJ at 1PM so I could avoid this mess, told the boss I wasn't gonna risk getting stuck on the base, she said no problem it's Friday anyway

Just gonna take my time when I leave later, there are a lot of idiots out there

[Chacor]

Wait, referring to the original post... tropical system from Pacific? Have there been that many recently? Norman+92L, perhaps?

[Stephanie]

Chacor - We just had a WPAC hurricane named "Paul" I believe that affected the Baja coastline. It's that moisture that came across the US that helped to develop this storm.

Yes and slapped our rears with more flooding before it headed your way. That is two flooding episodes for some areas in SE TX in one week!!!! Hope everything stays safe up there!!!

[Chacor]

I didn't think it was Paul because I'd expect most of Paul to die off over Mexico and Texas.

[JonathanBelles]

Chacor - We just had a WPAC hurricane named "Paul" I believe that affected the Baja coastline. It's that moisture that came across the US that helped to develop this storm.

A. it was EPAC
B. WPAC doesnt have huricanes
C. with all corections made i agree that this was the moisture from Paul
