AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
322 PM EST FRI FEB 24 2006

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
THE NAM/GFS/NGM/GEM FORECAST MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH SATURDAY
MORNING.  AFTERWARDS...THE MODELS DIFFER ON THE EXACT TRACK OF A
CLIPPER LOW MOVING ACROSS THE REGION.

500 MB LOW MOVES FURTHER OFFSHORE AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
OVER THE NORTHEAST THIS EVENING.  STRONG GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS EARLY
WILL DECREASE OVERNIGHT...AND DRIER AIR WILL RESULT IN MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES OVERNIGHT.  COLD ADVECTION WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION
OVERNIGHT.  850 MB TEMPERATURES DROP TO BETWEEN -14 AND -11 DEGREES
BY 12Z SATURDAY...AND MODELS ARE FAIRLY SIMILAR WITH LOW
TEMPERATURES.

HIGH CIRRUS CLOUDS WILL SPREAD ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND IN
ADVANCE OF A CLIPPER LOW EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.  FROM THIS POINT
ON...THERE ARE A DIFFERENCES IN THE HANDLING OF THE CLIPPER SYSTEM.
THE 06Z AND 12Z GFS MODEL RUNS BRING THE LOW FROM THE LOWER GREAT
LAKES...ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW YORK SATURDAY AFTERNOON...ACROSS
CONNECTICUT SATURDAY EVENING...AND OUT TO SEA SATURDAY NIGHT.  THE
06Z NAM ALSO BRINGS THE CLIPPER FROM THE LOWER GREAT LAKES AND OVER
NEW YORK SATURDAY AFTERNOON.  HOWEVER...THE 06Z NAM THEN DEVELOPS A
SECONDARY LOW OFF THE NEW JERSEY COAST IN EXPENSE OF THE PARENT LOW
LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON.  THIS SECONDARY LOW THEN STRENGTHENS
SATURDAY EVENING AS IT PASSES ACROSS THE WATERS JUST SOUTH OF NEW
ENGLAND AND THEN OUT TO SEA SATURDAY NIGHT.  THE 12Z NAM IS SIMILAR
TO THE 06Z NAM...BUT ITS TRACK IS SOMEWHAT FURTHER NORTH THAN THE
06Z NAM (BUT NOT AS FAR NORTH AS THE 06Z GFS).  THE 12Z NGM IS
SIMILAR TO THE NAM MODEL RUN IN ITS HANDLING OF THIS LOW.

EITHER WAY...SNOW IS FORECAST OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BEGINNING
LATE SATURDAY MORNING AND THE SNOW SHOULD LAST INTO SATURDAY NIGHT.
OVERNIGHT SATURDAY...SOME SNOW IS FORECAST TO WRAP AROUND THE LOW
AND BACK INTO EASTERN NEW ENGLAND...HOWEVER...MOST OF THE SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE REGION APPEAR MAINLY DRY SLOTTED (SOME
FLURRIES/LIGHT SNOW/DRIZZLE) AND WESTERN ZONES SHOULD ALSO REMAIN
DRY SATURDAY NIGHT.

RIGHT NOW...FORECAST MODELS AVERAGE AROUND 0.25 INCH OF
PRECIPITATION...WITH SPOT HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE.  THE NAM HAS
SLIGHTLY MORE QPF THAN THE GFS.  FEEL THAT BETWEEN 2 AND 5 INCHES OF
SNOW IS REASONABLE (FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST).  THERE COULD BE
SOME OCEAN ENHANCEMENT ALONG THE NORTHEAST COAST PRODUCING SPOT
HIGHER SNOWFALL AMOUNTS.  THE 850 MB LOW TRACKS ACROSS CENTRAL NEW
ENGLAND.  THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION IS USUALLY FOUND NORTH OF THE
TRACK OF BOTH THE 850 MB LOW AND THE SFC LOW (WHICH MATCHES THE BEST
MODELED FRONTOGENETIC FORCING)...WITH A SHARP PRECIPITATION GRADIENT
ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE LOW.  THUS...WILL GO WITH ADVISORY LEVEL
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS BETWEEN 2 AND 5 INCHES ALONG AND NORTH OF THE
MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE...WITH BETWEEN 1 AND 3 INCHES SOUTH.  THE
HIGHEST AMOUNTS WILL MOST LIKELY OCCUR ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW
HAMPSHIRE...NORTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS...AND THE WORCESTER HILLS.  WARM
AIR ALONG THE SOUTH COAST...CAPE...AND ISLANDS...MAY PRODUCE A
MAINLY RAIN EVENT.  HOWEVER...EVEN IF MOST OF THE EVENT IS MAINLY
RAIN FOR OUR SOUTHERN LOCATIONS SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY EVENING...THE
SFC LOW MAY PRODUCE SOME OCEAN EFFECT SNOW AS COLD ADVECTION CAUSES
TEMPERATURES TO TURN COLDER ACROSS THE OUTER CAPE EARLY SUNDAY AS
THE LOW PULLS AWAY FROM THE REGION.

AS ALWAYS...THE EXACT TRACK OF THE LOW HAS A MAJOR EFFECT ON BOTH
THE AMOUNT OF SNOW AND THE RAIN/SNOW LINE.  IF THE TRACK OF THE LOW
IS FURTHER NORTH...WARM AIR COULD CAUSE TEMPERATURES TO RISE ABOVE
FREEZING OVER SOUTHERN LOCATIONS...CAUSING SNOW TO CHANGE TO DRIZZLE
OR GET DRY SLOTTED SATURDAY LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING.  IF THE TRACK IS
FURTHER SOUTH...THIS EVENT COULD BE AN ALL SNOW EVENT FOR SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND.

FEEL MOST LIKELY SCENARIO THAT WILL UNFOLD WILL BE SOMEWHERE IN
BETWEEN THE NAM AND GFS.  THEREFORE...WILL GO WITH A BLEND OF THE
GFS AND NAM GUIDANCE.  A SNOW ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED FOR SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS BETWEEN 2 AND 5 INCHES...WITH SPOT HIGHER AMOUNTS...FOR
AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF THE MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE SATURDAY THROUGH
EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
...BITTERLY COLD AIR ON TAP FOR THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK WITH
SOME SNOW OR SNOW CHANGING TO RAIN POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
THURSDAY...

ANY LEFT OVER OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE OUTER-CAPE WILL
COME TO AN END EARLY SUNDAY MORNING AS WINDS SHIFT TO A MORE
NORTHWESTERLY DIRECTION. STRONG COLD ADVECTION WITH 850 MB
TEMPERATURES FALLING TO BETWEEN -20 AND -23C WILL HOLD TEMPERATURES
IN THE TEENS ACROSS THE INTERIOR...AND 20 TO 25 DEGREE RANGE EVEN
ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN. THIS IS WELL BELOW MAV/MET GUIDANCE BUT
WITH EXPECTED SNOW COVER AND ARCTIC AIR FEEL NUMBERS ARE WAY TOO
WARM. IN ADDITION...GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WILL
RESULT IN WIND CHILLS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON.

SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BE BITTERLY COLD...PERHAPS THE COLDEST AIR OF THE
SEASON FOR MANY LOCATIONS.  HAVE UNDERCUT GUIDANCE A FEW DEGREES
WITH ARCTIC AIR AND EXPECTED SNOW COVER. LOWS WILL FALL BELOW ZERO
ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHWEST MA AND SOUTHERN NH...TO BETWEEN 5 AND 10
ABOVE EVEN IN THE URBAN HEAT ISLAND OF BOSTON. IN ADDITION...WIND
CHILLS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP TO BETWEEN -15 AND -20 ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE INTERIOR. THEREFORE...WIND CHILL ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED FOR
A PORTION OF THE AREA EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY WILL REMAIN VERY COLD WITH THE POLAR VORTEX
CONTINUING TO SUPPLY A FLOW OF AIR FROM NORTHERN CANADA.
THEREFORE...WILL CONTINUE TO UNDERCUT GUIDANCE NUMBERS. A WEAK UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT MAY TRIGGER A FEW
SNOW FLURRIES.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD MODIFY A BIT WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS THE FLOW
TURNS A BIT MORE WESTERLY. HOWEVER...STILL EXPECTING TEMPERATURES TO
REMAIN BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS.

THE NEXT CONCERN WILL BE A STORM SYSTEM THAT LOOKS TO SLIDE WEST TO
EAST BELOW THE COLD DOME WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY.  STILL WAY TO
EARLY FOR DETAILS BUT LATEST UKMET/GFS/ECMWF SHOW A SIMILAR SCENARIO
WITH SNOW OR SNOW CHANGING TO RAIN DEPENDING ON THE TRACK.

&&

.AVIATION...
LEFTOVER INSTABILITY FLURRIES OR SNOW SHOWERS OVER CAPE/ISLANDS WILL
END BY 20Z AS VORT INDUCED COMMA HEAD MOVES E OFF THE COAST AND

EVNG WITH G35-40KTS THEN WINDS WILL DIMINISH AS GRADIENT RELAXES AND

SHORT TERM...CONTINUED GALE WARNINGS THROUGH MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AS
WINDS HAVE GUSTED AS HIGH AS 45 KT ALONG THE OUTER COASTAL WATERS.
THESE WINDS WILL DECREASE BELOW WARNING CRITERIA OVERNIGHT. COLD
ADVECTION COMBINED WITH A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT MAY PRODUCE GALE
FORCE WIND GUSTS AGAIN LATE SATURDAY NIGHT/EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.

LONGER TERM...PERIODS OF GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS WILL LIKELY
OCCUR SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH STRONG COLD ADVECTION OVER THE
RELATIVELY WARM OCEAN. IN ADDITION...AREAS OF HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY
WILL POSE A HAZARD TO MARINERS PARTICULARLY SUNDAY NIGHT.  WINDS
WILL SLACK WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BUT COULD PICKUP AGAIN ON
