FORECAST TO DEVELOP IN THE AFFECTED AREAS...BUT ACCUMULATIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT.  ANY SNOW OR ICE WOULD MAKE DRIVING AND
WALKING DIFFICULT BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE ON UNTREATED ROADWAYS AND
SIDEWALKS.  WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW FREEZING...MOTORISTS NEED
TO BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL ON BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES WHERE SLIPPERY
SPOTS CAN EASILY DEVELOP.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION..UPDATED..
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1227 PM EST WED DEC 7 2005

...WE AWAIT FURTHER IN HOUSE CONSENSUS BEFORE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO NCEP
MODELS BOMBOGENESIS FRIDAY...

.DATA...
ASH AWOS DATA WILL NOW BE AVBL IN THE RTP/RR5 DATA THAT POSTS. SOON
WE THINK IT WILL SHOW UP IN THE RWR HRLY REPORTS  ADDITIONALLY AND
NOT INSIGNIFICANTLY...LOOK FOR NERON (NEW ENGLAND PROJECT) DATA IN
THE RTP/RR5 FROM GRANVILLE...GOSHEN AND TURNERS FALLS.  YOU WILL
LIKE THIS DATA
&&

.SHORT TERM (THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)...
NO SIG CHANGES IN THE 11AM PACKAGE. WELL REREVIEW FOR SPOT WIND ADVY
CRITERIA LATER THIS AFTN-EVE IN STRENGHTENING CAA.

LATE DAY PKG WILL EXAMINE POSSIBLE LE SW- FOR CAPE COD LATE TONIGHT
OR THURSDAY MORNING AS BL FLOW TURNS MORE NLY WITH STEEP LAPSE LOW
LVL RATES. NAM IS FORMING CLOUDS OUT THERE BUT NO SW- ON THE NAM10
NOR SUSBMM5. PROBABLY TOO DRY AND STILL TOO MUCH CONTINENTAL FLOW IN
THE NEARBY CW TO ALLOW FOR SW- OUTER CAPE.

&&

.LONG TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...
...MODERATE 12 HR SNOWSTORM POTENTIUL BUT LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY...

WE HAVE SEEN THE 12Z OP VERSIONS OF THE NCEP NAM NGM GFS AS WELL AS
THE CANADIAN GGEM AND ENGLANDS UKMET AND THE SUSBMM5 AND BTV NAM10.

NAM DEEPENS THE SFC LOW 28 MB IN 12 HRS AS IT TRACKS IDEALLY FOR A
MUCH OF INTERIOR SNE MDT SNOWSTORM (YES WE SAW THE NAM 1.5 BOS)...
BUT...NAM BL FLUXS AND TYPICAL NW BIAS CONSIDERED...PLUS CLIMO AND
ONE HAS TO THINK ITS NOT RIGHT. HOW OFTEN DOES OUR REGION GET PASTED
WITH A FOOT OF SNOW IN A WINTER...ESPECIALLY FROM WHAT APPEARS TO BE
A SHORT WAVE THAT IS OPENING. AND DIDNT WE HAVE SOME PROBLEMS WITH
THIS JUST YESTERDAY?  NOT MY MODEL OF CHOICE.

THE GFS DEEPENS 24 MB IN 12 HRS...BUT IS 2 DEGS FURTHER S ON ITS
SFC LOW AND THE 500 MB SHORT WAVE AT 60 HRS DIFFERS BTWN THE NAM/GFS
(FOR 00Z/SAT THE 10TH) WITH THE NAM FEEDBACK EXCITING 500MB
DEEPENING...WHILE THE GFS IS STEADY. I CAN LIVE WITH THIS BUT AM
SUSPICIOUS.  WHY...SEE BELOW.

THE UKMET AND GGEM ARE SLOWER AND NOT AS VIGOROUS WITH THE DEEPENING
FRIDAY...DELAYING IT TILL ITS E THE BENCHMARK.

ALREADY BIG DIFFS SHOWING UP BETWEEN THE 12Z NAM NGM AND GFS AND EVEN
THE 12Z GGEM UKMET AND SUSBMM5 OP RUNS...ARD 5MB DIFFERENCE NEAR CAPE
MAY FOR 12Z FRI WITH THE NAM THE OUTLIER AND SUSPECT WRONG IN FAR TOO
MUCH DEEPENING THERE. IF THE NAM IS WRONG AGAIN ON THIS NWWD
EXTENSION...THE ENTIRE NAM PACKAGE IS A WRONG SIGNAL. ODDS FAVOR 12Z
GFS NGM GGEM UKMET COMBO. AND GGEM SUSBMM5 ARE ALSO SLOWER WITH SNOW
ONSET EARLY FRI...AS THE SUSBMM5.

WE ARE CURRENTLY MISSING THE ENSEMBLE PAGE FROM CTP WHOSE OFFICE MAY
BE INVOLVED IN A PHYSICAL MOVE BUT REVIEWED THE GFS POP TRENDS FOR
24 HR 1 AND 12 HR .60 EARLIER TODAY AND NOTED A SWD TREND IN THE
00Z/7 GFS ENS FROM THE 18Z/6 GFS ENS. THAT PLUS THE VERY SLOW TO
DEVELOP 00Z RUN OF THE ECMWF...HAVE TO TEMPER THE NAM IN LIEU OF
OTHER MODEL CONSENSUS...WHICH IN THE OPINION OF THIS FCSTR WHO MUST
FILE FORECASTS THAT VERIFY CLOSE TO REALITY...THE NAM IS FALLING
FURTHER BEHIND THE GFS ON DAY DAY PERFORMANCE.

THE 12Z GFS UKMET SUSBMM5 COMBO KEEPS THE SPS CRITERIA GOING... GGEM
IS SLIGHTLY FURTHER N ON ITS SIG QPF INTO SNE (A SLIGHTLY WARMER RUN)
WHICH ALSO JUSTIFIES PRIOR 24 HR SPS/SNOW KBOX FCST ISSUANCES.
HOWEVER THE GGEM UKMET COMBO ARE ABOUT 11MB WEAKER THAN THE GFS AND
14 MB WEAKER THAN THE NAM. (SUSBMM5 IS MORE LIKE THE GFS/NAM IN
DEEPENING ABOMINALLY DURING THE DAY FRIDAY.

THATS A DISPARITY PROBLEM

EWD SPEED VARIES BUT FAIRLY CLOSE FOR 60 HRS (00Z/SAT).

IF THESE MODELS ARE OVERDOING THE SHARPNESS OF THE SHORTWAVE OR IT
RUNS FLATTER...WEVE GOT A SWD BUST.

09Z SREF HAS WDSPRD 2.5 SNOW EVENT SNE BY 03ZS SAT IN THE 24 HR
MEAN SNOW ACC WITH 5 VARIABILITY IN W MA AND SW NH  09Z SREF PROB
OF 8 IS 30 PCT FOR SW NH AND 10 PCT ELSEWHERE SNE.  SREF STILL
HOLDS 10 PCT CHC 1 FOOT NW 1/3 RD MA AND S NH.  THINK THIS IS NAM
BIASED.

SPS CONTS AS IS UNTIL 4PM.

FROM THE MID SHIFT BELOW...

CLIMATOLOGICALLY...A TRACK JUST OUTSIDE BENCHMARK WOULD PLACE
HEAVIEST SNOWFALL BETWEEN I-95 AND S COAST AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE
THINKING IN THIS CASE. LOW IS FORECAST TO STRENGTHEN RAPIDLY AS IT
CROSSES OUR LONGITUDE...AND CROSS SECTIONS SHOW VERY STRONG
FRONTOGENESIS COMBINED WITH DEEP MOISTURE S OF MASS PIKE. WILL HAVE
TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT MESOSCALE BANDING EFFECTS AS WE GET CLOSER TO
THE EVENT. CROSS SECTIONS ALSO SHOW GOOD POTENTIAL FOR SLANTWISE
CONVECTION.

MAX DENDRITIC SNOW GROWTH ZONE IS FAVORED IN RI AND SE MA...MORE
SPECIFICALLY PROVIDENCE TO PLYMOUTH ACCORDING TO GFS. LIFT IS
CENTERED IN COLDER AIR FARTHER N AND W WHICH MAY LIMIT GOOD SNOWFLAKE
PRODUCTION AND IN WARMER AIR FARTHER S AND E.

THERE ARE ALSO SOME LIMITING FACTORS THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED. MOST
IMPORTANT IS SPEED OF SYSTEM...AS SNOW SHOULD ARRIVE QUICKLY FRI
MORNING BUT WILL PROBABLY BE DONE LATE FRI AFTERNOON. THAT GIVES US
AN 8-10 HR STORM...AND ITS TOUGH TO GET DECENT SNOWFALL RATES FOR AN
ENTIRE EVENT.

PRECIPITATION TYPE IS ALSO AN ISSUE AROUND CAPE COD AND ISLANDS.
ALTHOUGH THICKNESSES ARE COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SNOW...LOW LEVEL
TEMPERATURE PROFILES SUGGEST A POSSIBLE MIX OR CHANGE TO RAIN ON
NANTUCKET AND OUTER CAPE MIDDAY FRI. HOWEVER...HEAVY PRECIPITATION
RATES MAY BE ABLE TO KEEP COLUMN COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW. WE ARE TAKING
THIS INTO ACCOUNT BY LOWERING MAV TEMPERATURES IN SE ZONES...BUT
STILL THINK THOSE LOCATIONS SHOULD AT LEAST SEE A MIX FOR A TIME IF
NOT A COMPLETE CHANGEOVER. THIS WILL ALSO YIELD SNOW TO WATER RATIOS
CLOSER TO 5 TO 1 AS OPPOSED TO 10 TO 1.

BEYOND FRIDAY...AN INTENSIFYING LARGE AMPLITUDE ERN USA TROF IS
MODELED FOR 12Z NEXT MONDAY NR 78W...THAT COULD BE THE SUBSTANTIVE
ARCHAMBAULT +PNA SHIFTING EVENT AS WELL MODELED IN THE GFS
TELECONNECTION INDICES.  FOR NOW...NO ACTION.

TEMPS FCST THIS PERIOD ARE A MIX OF MODEL...SELECTIVE USE OF 14Z/7
HPC GUIDANCE AND PRIOR BOX CONTINUITY AS BEST WE CAN EVALUATE ON
THE FLY...BACKGROUND BASIS ARE THE 00Z/7 GFS ENS 850 TT AND 06Z GFS
ENS 2M TT FCST AND 00Z/7 ECMWF OP RUN.

&&

.AVIATION...
UPDATED LATER. PLS SEE TAFS FOR DETAILS BUT LOOKS LIKE VFR THRU
MIDNIGHT EXCEPTING ANY SCT FLURRIES THAT MAY OCCUR THIS AFTN IN HILLY
TAF SITES.

WINDS ALSO EXPECTED TO BE GUSTY TODAY.  A LOW LEVEL JET UP TO 40 KT
EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST OFF THE COAST TODAY.  STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE
RATES SHOULD ALLOW FOR GOOD MIXING OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER.

&&

.MARINE...
MARGINAL GALE CONDS CONTD AND MAY BECOME MORE EXPANSIVE LATE TODAY
AS CAA INCREASES  FCST HAD ONLY SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS TODAY.

IN THE LONGER TERM...WE WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW POTENTIAL GALES FRI AS
COASTAL LOW PASSES NEAR OR JUST S OF 40/70 BENCHMARK. STRONGEST WINDS
AND HIGHEST SEAS EXPECTED ALONG S COASTAL WATERS...THEN WE WILL
GRADUALLY SHOW DIMINISHING WINDS AND SEAS FRI NIGHT INTO SAT AS
SYSTEM PULLS AWAY QUICKLY AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN.
