Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
354 AM EST Mon Feb 20 2017
A brief return to seasonably cool weather occurs today through
Tuesday with high pressure in control. Strong low pressure
developing across the Central Plains slowly lifting towards the
Great Lakes will result in an extended period of unseasonably mild
temperatures Wednesday through Saturday. A cold front will
cross the region Saturday, likely bringing some rain, followed
by more seasonable temperatures by Sunday.
Mid level trough axis amplifies east of southern New England as
additional shortwave energy crosses the region. This will result in
dry northwest flow today, but decent cold air advection will allow
850T drop to between -8C and -10C by afternoon. Column is fairly
dry so plenty of sunshine. This combined with a rather mild start
should allow highs in the upper 30s across the higher terrain...to
mainly the lower to middle 40s elsewhere. Bufkit soundings show 20
to 25 mph wind gusts developing later this morning and afternoon as
mixing increases.
Large high pressure builds across southern New England tonight. The
result will be mainly clear skies, except for some ocean effect
clouds across the Cape/Nantucket as winds become northerly.
Otherwise, light winds/mainly clear skies elsewhere should allow for
overnight lows in the teens across the outlying locations with lower
to middle 20s in the urban heat islands of downtown
High pressure overhead Tuesday morning will slowly shift offshore by
late in the afternoon. Plenty of sun expected during the
morning...but some mid/high level cloudiness should move across the
region from west to east during the afternoon. Mid level
temperatures will be warming as height fields rise, but a chilly
start and relatively weak mixing will keep high temps mainly in the
lower to middle 40s. Weak pressure gradient should allow sea
breezes to develop along the eastern MA coast and may keep highs in
the upper 30s for those locations.
* Light rain/pockets of freezing rain Tue night into Wed
* Thursday looks to be our warmest day
* More likely for widespread rain Friday night into Saturday
Overview and model preferences...20/00z guidance was is good
agreement with overall trends through Thursday. Even beyond
Thursday there is some agreement on a similar pattern, just a
lot of uncertainty with the details. The main uncertainty
derives from a potent shortwave moving east from the West Coast
about mid week. How this shortwave amplifies a downstream trough
toward the end of this week, will determine the timing of a
more widespread precipitation event.
Preferred a consensus approach for this period to smooth over
the less predictable mesoscale details. Above average confidence
in the forecast through Thursday. Low confidence in the details
beyond Thursday.
Tuesday night into Wednesday...
High pressure off the East Coast holds on strong. With the core of
this high pressure well to our south, expecting a persistent south
wind to develop. The resulting rising heights should lead to a
predominantly rain event as a cold front tries to push south through
our region. The issue will be surface temperatures. There is still a
risk of patchy freezing rain Tuesday night, mainly across the
normally colder spots in north central and western MA. Not expecting
much in the way of ice, but enough that overnight, early AM commutes
could be slippery on untreated roadways.
Still expecting improvement to drier and warmer weather Wednesday,
as a a front moves back north as a warm front. With a strong high
pressure offshore, the current timing of the forecast for this
period may be too fast. Something to be monitored over the next day.
Thursday and Friday...
Modest clipper-like low pressure should move through the Great Lakes
Thursday. This appears to be the favored storm track for the next
series of storms. Increasing south to southwest flow should
make Thursday the warmest day we`ve had in a while. Just a
slight chance of a shower as this low passes by.
Some slight cooling for Friday, especially with increasing clouds
ahead of a warm front. Timing of overrunning precipitation still
looks to hold until Friday night.
Next weekend...As previously mentioned, have low confidence in
the details in this portion of the forecast, mainly due to
timing issues. Have greater confidence in another low pressure
moving through the Great Lakes Saturday. Precipitable water
values anticipated to be greater than 1 inch, which should mean
the risk for moderate to heavy rainfall at times.
Within the warm sector of the Great Lakes low pressure, the
combination of a strong low level jet at 925 mb, and modest
instability, could lead to isolated thunderstorms if everything
lines up.
Conditions improve Sunday, with a return to much more seasonable
temperatures in the wake of this stronger system.
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Short Term /through Tuesday/...
Today...High confidence. Mainly VFR but some brief marginal
MVFR CIGS are possible with the highest risk across Cape Cod.
Northwest winds will gust to 20 knots later this morning and
afternoon with up to 25 knots across portions of the Cape/Nantucket.
Tonight and Tuesday...High confidence. VFR except some marginal MVFR
CIGS possible into Tuesday morning across portions of Cape Cod.
KBOS TAF...High confidence in TAF.
KBDL TAF...High confidence in TAF.
Outlook /Tuesday Night through Friday/...
Tuesday night into Wednesday...Moderate confidence.
Overnight low-moderate risk for some MVFR/IFR CIGS along with
occasional MVFR vsbys in light rainfall. Low risk for some light
freezing rain, mainly Worcester Hills and western MA. Improvement
to VFR gradually after sunrise Wednesday. Winds shift to the
Thursday and Friday...High confidence.
Mainly VFR. Low risk for some mixed MVFR CIGS by late day Friday,
but these may hold off until Friday night.
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Short Term /through Tuesday/...
Today...High confidence. Northwest wind gusts of 20 to 30 knots
in the cold air advection pattern. The strongest of those winds
gusts will occur across our eastern waters. Small craft
headlines posted for all waters except Boston Harbor and
Narragansett Bay.
Tonight...High confidence. Lingering marginal small craft wind
gusts/seas across our eastern waters this evening should diminish
after midnight as high pressure builds in from the west.
Tuesday...High confidence. High pressure overhead will result in
light winds and flat seas.
Outlook /Tuesday Night through Friday/...
Winds and seas expected to remain below Small Craft Advisory
thresholds through this period. Winds mainly south to southwest
through Thursday.
MARINE...Small Craft Advisory until 7 PM EST this evening for ANZ231-
Small Craft Advisory until 1 PM EST this afternoon for

As a result of conflict, HIV/AIDS and other diseases, there are tens of thousands of households in Rwanda headed by a child. These child-only families are the poorest of the poor. They have to fend for themselves with little financial or psycho-social support and eke out a living by subsistence farming. Our solar-powered and wind-up radios would provide these families with practical information they can use to improve their lives.
Our solar and wind-up Prime radios provide these vulnerable families with practical information on health, farming, children's rights, animal care, current events and the news 24/7 – enabling them to make more informed choices and decisions.
These children are starved for practical information. With sustainable radio access, they will listen to local and international radio educational programmes whenever they want. The information gained will help improve the quality of their lives.
This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).

Happy Friday.
This mailbag is being done at Bunk Sandwiches in Portland. I am about to eat a pork belly cubano. You should hate me for this.
To the notes:
Jeff from Salem, Ore., writes: With yet another transfer how big of an issue is RB depth at Oregon? And is Josh huff next to leave?
Ted Miller: You refer to the expected transfer of Tra Carson, who rushed for 254 yards as a true freshman and was expected to be the Ducks No. 3 RB -- and power option -- behind Kenjon Barner and De'Anthony Thomas. When you toss in the other recent transfers of Dontae Williams and Lache Seastrunk, an abundance of riches at the position is no longer so abundant.
Things are tight but hardly desperate. Barner replaces LaMichael James as the starter and Thomas takes on a hybrid role as a RB/WR. With no Carson, the need now is to find a No. 3. While that likely will include plenty of in-game touches, fretting the No. 3 RB is digging fairly deep in the worry bag. The most likely No. 3 now is incoming freshman Byron Marshall, younger brother of Arizona State's Cameron Marshall -- ergo, good bloodlines.
If everyone stays healthy, that sounds like a solid threesome. But if Barner or Thomas were to get hurt, things would be iffy.
What about receiver Josh Huff? My feeling is Huff will be with the Ducks next year after he resolves his off-field issues, though my guess is he'll get a great big frowny face from coach Chip Kelly. As he should. I also suspect he stays at receiver, though his talents do translate well to running the football. Remember: Kelly isn't the sort to feel bound by traditional position names. But Huff rushed for 214 yards in 2010 -- 17.8 yards per pop -- and zero in 2011. That suggests he's a receiver, particularly with his being the most experienced returning receiver on the team.
And don't be surprised if sometime this spring or in the fall that you read about a position change. Kelly is obsessed with recruiting speed, so he could always switch a defensive back or receiver to running back. You know, like he did with Barner.
Rabid Husky from Everett, Wash., writes: You know how proud [Washington fans] are of our history of stout, intimidating defenses.The Alamo was disappointing on so many levels defensively.Husky fans like my self are excited but nervous about the guys we've hired on that side of the ball. My question to you is two fold:-Do you think Wilcox and co can get this unit to the middle of the pack in the conference? While i know we lacked talent at spots, i refuse to believe this was a unit-wide dilemma. We do have some talent on the defense that is young and needs coaching up and i think Wilcox's freshman friendly system and his flexibility will show that. Do you agree?-With a mediocre defense we won 7 games. Improved defense and offensive line play will be the key to being competitive with the elite teams like USC and LSU. How much improvement do you see from the defense? If the defense is average (middle of the pack), how do you see our season turning out?
Ted Miller: One of the bigger surprises to me was how bad the Washington defense was in 2011. I wrote a lot in the preseason about how I expected it to improve, so it's general turrible-ness bothered me because it allowed people to remind me how wrong I was. Some of you seem to enjoy that.
The talent coming back in 2012 is OK. I'd rate the talent middle-of-the-road in the conference already.
But I believe that new coordinator Justin Wilcox is a game-changer, a guy who has instincts about both understanding the nuanced talents of his players as well as the Xs and Os side of things.
The question is how quickly Wilcox and his players get in sync. His defense at Tennessee made a big jump in year two after surging late in 2010.
If the Huskies defense improves 20 percent in scoring, it will give up 26.7 points per game, which would have rated sixth in the conference in 2011.
That's my prediction. And if it comes true, the Huskies will win eight games.
Jeff from Salt Lake City writes: Considering we still do not know Oregon's fate, this may be a waste of breath. But in the event that they do receive a bowl ban in 2012 and USC runs the table on the way to the BCS NCG, we may be looking at the most hotly contended 3rd place battle in Pac-12 history. Stanford and Utah both appear to have an outside shot as Rose Bowl replacements, but I want to know your take. Do you believe that there's a team behind USC and Oregon in 2012 that could win 10 games and finish within the Top-15 of the final rankings to receive that hypothetical Rose Bowl bid? And if you do, who do you think stands the best chance to do so?
Ted Miller: I doubt Oregon will be banned from the 2012 postseason. At this point, I also doubt that, if USC and Oregon are the top two teams in the Pac-12, that there will be a third team ranked in the top 14 of the final BCS standings as required to be an at-large selection for a BCS bowl game, though I would rate Utah and Stanford as the most likely possibilities.
The question is this: Is there a team, other than Oregon or USC, that is capable of finishing 10-2? Last year, only two three-loss teams -- Baylor and Oklahoma -- were in the final top 14 of the BCS standings with three defeats. Of course, there are plenty of variables here because every season is different.
There also might be a question of whether the Rose Bowl would stick to its traditional matchup in the event that, say, Stanford was 9-3 and ranked 14th. With all the playoff talk of late, which could threaten the Rose Bowl's previously thought unbreakable connection to the Pac-12 and Big Ten, would the Rose Bowl pass up, say, No. 6 Texas in favor of a three-loss team that finished third in the Pac-12 pecking order? Recall the joke of a matchup when the Rose Bowl put No. 13, three-loss Illinois in the Rose Bowl opposite USC after the 2007 season. As the college football landscape changes, would the Rose Bowl want to relive that, instead of going with a potential top-10 matchup that would produce higher ratings?
As for looking at Stanford and Utah, the Cardinal has a tougher schedule. It plays Oregon, USC and Notre Dame, as well as in the tougher North Division. Utah misses Stanford and Oregon and plays host to USC and BYU. It wouldn't surprise me if one or the other ended up 9-3. But I don't see the dominoes falling in a way that either ends up in the Rose Bowl as an at-large selection.
Nick from Los Angeles writes: Can you do me a favor and write an article about how good Oregon will be on defense next year. Please highlight Dion Jordan, John Boyett, Michael Clay, Kiko Alonso, Boseko Lokombo. Please use the word "scary." And can you get it on the front page of the ESPN college football page, with a picture. Thanks a million.Nick
Ted Miller: Nick is being witty, but after chatting with John Boyett this past week, I'm starting to buy-in. He was able to selling me pretty well that some of the concerns -- replacing DE Terrell Turner and rover Eddie Pleasant -- won't be that big of a deal.
The Ducks' defense was solid last year, ranking fifth in the conference in scoring and total defense. And, as Ducks fans often note, the defense's yards per play of 5.07 was second in the conference behind Utah.
I'd rate it a high degree of certainty the defense doesn't take a step back. A significant step forward would mean it ranking in the top fourth of the Pac-12 and top 25 in the nation.

I am a volunteer at the Toledo Botanical Gardens. we have an hosta area

how many species of hosta exist?? We are trying to get as complete a

think we already have some listed as species that are not. Thanks for the
butch graves
Sylvania, OH
Mr. Graves,
Please let me be the first to request a copy of your list of Species when
you have it compiled. I do not have the mental capacity to wade through that
mess. I see in todays e-mail where Zonneveld says there are 23 good hostas.
HUMMMN. In the Hosta Library there is a list of 40 compiled by Clyde
Crockett. Following it is a "This is a list of all species and authors"
submitted by Zonneveld. From here, let us go to page 19 and 20 0f the Hosta
Handbook where we have a list of 39 hosta species by Maekawa. On page 21and
22 we find 43 species by W. George Schmid. Which is followed by 16 botanical
varieties or forms? This is followed by 31 species that were reduced to
cultivars. Surely there must be other lists somewhere.
I to, at times, become quite listless. During one on those moments I sorted
out three lists: They are 81 Registered Species, 19 Specie unregistered. and
51 Specie mutations. The list needs to be shook up again and see where each
one might be classified. I have put the job of sorting out the 'Good Species'
The 'Bad Species' etc. on the back burner. Now is the time for those experts
on this subject to step forward and give us their list of species. Come on
now, let us all shine a little light on the subject.

Feminist Ryan Gosling
The latest Tumblr sensation plays on Gosling's status as the thinking woman's sex crumpet
Somewhere, sometime in the universe there exists a perfect man, and that perfect man is Ryan Gosling. Possibly. Gosling himself doesn't actually believe it all that much, but here are the facts: he's good-looking, bright, talented, generous, brave, not afraid to break up a fight and extremely well-spoken (who else says "gymnasium" with a straight face?). He is also ardent in his declarations of love to his former girlfriends, Sandra Bullock and Rachel McAdams, who are "two of the greatest girlfriends of all time". See? He is the perfect man, all right.
Gosling's status as the thinking woman's sex crumpet (although we're talking really good quality sex, the kind that involves a lot of soul-baring and post-amorous cappuccinos with fresh croissants that he personally baked) has been the object of affectionate irony for quite some time in the form of Fuck Yeah! Ryan Gosling, which we probably do not need to expand on since you probably spend hours hitting "refresh" on it anyway.
Feminist Ryan Gosling, however, is a stroke of genius: it takes the irony of the "Hey girl" captions and juxtaposes them with a number of feminist tropes and theories. Gosling's pensive, hug-me facial expressions do the rest. It's hilarious.
Somewhere, sometime in the universe, Leonardo Di Caprio must be dead jealous he was big before Tumblr was big. Or perhaps not.

An ardent supporter of the Charlotte Community Foundation, Denis Lowry combined his love of his community and his passion for nonprofit service through his gift of $10,000 to the "Building for the Future" campaign.
He chose to direct the gift to the staff break room, a space that will be used daily by staff and volunteers and is centrally located in the new Charlotte Community Foundation and Education Center.
Lowry and his late wife, Marilyn, originally from Kentucky, moved to Punta Gorda in 1996.
They became active in their new community, including the Punta Gorda Isles Civic Association, the Mariners of PGI, the Punta Gorda Isles Canal Advisory Committee and the Charlotte Community Foundation's Grants Advisory Council.
"When Marilyn passed away a year and a half ago, she wanted to make a difference in an organization that would last forever," Lowry said at the Charlotte Community Foundation's annual grant awards reception. "Memorial gifts in her name went to the Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota. She had never seen it, but she knew that when it was completed, it would last forever."
When Lowry considered a contribution to the "Building for the Future" campaign, he knew that he wanted to name a room in Marilyn's memory.
"The Community Foundation is here to make a difference in the community 'for good, for ever,' and this was the proper place to leave a legacy in Charlotte County, our retirement community," he said.
The board chairman, Brian Presley, said in a prepared statement that community foundations in general, and the Charlotte Community Foundation specifically, are in business for the long haul.
"In fact, the Charlotte Community Foundation is in the business of forever," Presley said. "The funds that are created by donors can continue to make distributions to support the nonprofit community in perpetuity. Our tag line states: 'For Good. For Ever.' To accomplish that, we need a stable, permanent presence in the community to facilitate our mission."
The aim is for the new Charlotte Community Foundation and Education Center to become a cornerstone of downtown Punta Gorda and a hub for the nonprofit community for education, a resource center and community meetings.
To learn more about the activities of the Charlotte Community Foundation, call the foundation CEO, Greg Bobonich, at 637-0077.
