NORTHEAST RIVER FORECAST CENTER...TAUNTON...MA
1105 AM EDT SAT MAY 18 2013

HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL DISCUSSION:
:
MID-MORNING VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS PLENTY OF MID AND HIGH
LEVEL CLOUDINESS STREAMING SOUTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHERN/WESTERN NEW
YORK STATE. THESE CLOUDS SHOULD PERSIST TODAY BUT WE EXPECT LITTLE
IF ANY RAINFALL IN THESE AREAS. ACROSS NORTHERN NEW YORK STATE
AND MOST OF NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND...ABUNDANT SUNSHINE EARLY TODAY
WILL GIVE WAY TO A MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUN. ACROSS NORTHERN NEW
HAMPSHIRE AND WESTERN MAINE...HEATING...SOME LOW LEVEL CONVERGENT
FLOW AND AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE APPROACHING THE AREA SHOULD BE
ENOUGH TO TRIGGER SOME SHOWER ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
. BASIN AVERAGE RAINFALL THROUGH TONIGHT SHOULD BE QUITE LIGHT...
HOWEVER...GENERALLY LESS THAN 0.10 INCHES.
:
ON SUNDAY...A BIT MORE MOISTURE PUSHING NORTH SHOULD ALLOW FOR
SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS CENTRAL/EASTERN NEW YORK STATE AND
WESTERN NEW ENGLAND...BUT AGAIN...OVERALL AMOUNTS SHOULD BE QUITE
LIGHT.
:
MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK CONTINUES TO LOOK UNSETTLED ACROSS
THE SEVEN STATE REGION OF NEW ENGLAND AND NEW YORK STATE AS WAVES
OF LOW PRESSURE ARE EXPECTED TO RIPPLE ALONG A QUASI-STATIONARY
FRONTAL BOUNDARY BRINGING ON AND OFF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
:
HYDROLOGIC DISCUSSION:
:
NERFC REGION RIVER LEVELS ARE GENERALLY IN RECESSION OR HOLDING AT
STEADY ELEVATIONS.  THIS TREND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO THE
BEGINNING OF THE WORK WEEK.

WATERWATCH WEB PAGE, ARE GENERALLY BELOW TO MUCH BELOW NORMAL FOR
MID-MAY.
