AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1016 AM EST MON JAN 15 2007

.2ND MESOSCALE UPDATE FROM 1015 AM...
WE HAVE RECEIVED SOME REPORTS THIS MORNING OF UP TO ONE QUARTER INCH
OF ICING ALREADY ACROSS FAR NORTHERN MA NEAR THE NEW HAMPSHIRE
BORDER...AS WELL AS SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE.  ANOTHER BIG SLUG OF
MODERATE TO OCCASIONALLY HEAVY FREEZING RAIN WILL MOVE INTO THE
REGION.

ALTHOUGH SOME AREAS ACROSS EXTREME NORTHERN MA AND SOUTHERN NH MAY
SEE ICE AMOUNTS EXCEED ONE HALF INCH...WE DO NOT EXPECT THESE
AMOUNTS TO BE WIDESPREAD AND MORE DEPENDENT UPON ELEVATION.  IN
FACT...REPORTS INDICATE THAT ICE AMOUNTS VARY CONSIDERABLY ACROSS
SOUTHERN NH AND NORTHERN MA.  THE AMOUNTS APPEAR TO RELATE TO
ELEVATION DEPENDENCE AS SOME AREAS ACROSS SOUTHERN NH JUST HAVE A
VERY THIN COATING AS TO OTHERS REPORTING A QUARTER INCH OF ICE
ACCUMULATION.

WE ARE CONCERNED THAT WE MAY SEE LOTS OF TREE LIMBS AND POWER
OUTAGES BEGIN TO DEVELOP ACROSS PORTIONS OF FAR NORTHERN MA AND
SOUTHERN NH...MAINLY IN ELEVATED AREAS.  SINCE THIS WILL AFFECT ONLY
LOCALIZED AREAS WILL MAINTAIN THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY AND NOT
UPGRADE TO A WARNING.  HOWEVER...ISOLATED LOCATIONS MAY SEE
SIGNIFICANT ICING PROBLEMS DEVELOP SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR A
POSSIBLE UPGRADE.

OTHERWISE...FORECAST ON TRACK ON ALL WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES HAVE
BEEN ALLOWED TO EXPIRE SOUTH OF THE MA TURNPIKE.  WE ALSO EXPECT
MOST OF THE STEADY PRECIPITATION TODAY TO GENERALLY BE ALONG AND
NORTH OF THE MA PIKE.  SOUTH OF THE MA PIKE MAINLY EXPECTING AREAS
OF DRIZZLE.

FRANK

&&

.MESOSCALE UPDATE FROM 809 AM...
LATEST RADAR IMAGERY AT 745 AM WAS SHOWING A SHIELD OF MODERATE RAIN
AND FREEZING RAIN COVERING THE NORTHERN 2/3RDS OF MASSACHUSETTS AND
SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE.  WE SHOULD SEE THE STEADIEST PRECIPITATION
LIFT TO AREAS MAINLY NORTH OF THE MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE ALONG A MID
LEVEL WARM FRONT.

THE PRECIPITATION WAS IN THE FORM OF MAINLY PLAIN RAIN SOUTH OF THE
MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE AND INSIDE OF I-495.  MEANWHILE...ACROSS THE
INTERIOR OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS TEMPERATURES WERE
WITHIN A DEGREE ON EITHER SIDE OF FREEZING.  THEREFORE AREAS OF
FREEZING RAIN WERE AFFECTING THE REGION.  WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT
FROM THE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION ALL DAY.  HOWEVER...850 MB
TEMPERATURES RISE TODAY TO BETWEEN +6 AND +7C AS A WARM FRONT LIFTS
NORTH OF THE REGION.  A TOUCH OF THIS WARMER MID LEVEL AIR MAY BE
ABLE TO BE BROUGHT DOWN BY THE RAIN LATER THIS MORNING AND
AFTERNOON.  THEREFORE...WE DO EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO RISE A DEGREE
OR TWO.  THEREFORE...PRECIPITATION SHOULD CHANGE TO PLAIN RAIN BY
EARLY AFTERNOON.

RIGHT NOW OUR MAIN IS SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE. THIS IS PARTICULARLY
TRUE ACROSS NORTHERN CHESHIRE AND NORTHERN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTIES.
MESONET AND SURFACE TEMPERATURES GENERALLY BETWEEN 28 AND 30 DEGREES
IN THIS REGION.  ANY POCKETS OF SLEET WILL TRANSITION OVER TO
FREEZING RAIN AS MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES WARM THIS MORNING.
WIDESPREAD MODERATE FREEZING RAIN WILL RESULT IN UNTREATED ROADS AND
WALKWAYS BECOMING ICY.   WE ARE ALSO CONCERNED THAT SOME OF THE ICE
UP IN THIS REGION MAY RESULT IN SOME SMALL TREE LIMBS BEING KNOCKED
DOWN ALONG WITH AREAS OF POWER OUTAGES.  RAPIDLY WARMING MID LEVEL
TEMPERATURES LATER THIS AFTERNOON MAY ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB
JUST ABOVE FREEZING IN SOME LOCATIONS...BUT THIS IS UNCERTAIN SO
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.

ALL IN ALL...PREVIOUS WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES ARE IN VERY GOOD
SHAPE WITH REGARDS TO TIMING.  THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR AREAS
SOUTH OF THE MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE ON
TIME AROUND 10 AM.

FRANK

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FROM 515 AM...

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT/...
PRECIPITATION OVERSPREAD THE REGION EARLY THIS MORNING...WITH A
MIXTURE OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN
AREAS. HAVE CONTINUED THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY...MAINLY NORTH AND
WEST OF HARTFORD TO TOLLAND...PUTNAM...WOONSOCKET...NORWOOD TO JUST
NORTH AND WEST OF BOSTON.  DO EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO SLOWLY INCREASE
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN EXTENT OF THE ADVISORY AREA BY LATE THIS
MORNING...BUT IT MAY ONLY BRIEFLY REACH FREEZING ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW
HAMPSHIRE TODAY.

SHORT RANGE MODELS IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT AGAIN THIS MORNING...BUT
HARD TO MESS AROUND WITH THE AREA OF PRECIPITATION EXTENDING ACROSS
NEW YORK STATE INTO MOST OF PENNSYLVANIA AS SEEN ON THIS MORNINGS
88D REGIONAL MOSAIC RADAR. THIS PRECIP EXTENDS BACK TO THE MAIN LOW
WHICH WAS OVER WESTERN OHIO AT 09Z. AS THIS LOW MOVES EAST ALONG AND
TO THE NORTH OF THE STATIONARY FRONT...ANOTHER WAVE MAY ALSO FORM...
WHICH WILL JUST REINFORCE THE STEADY PRECIPITATION ALL DAY. NOTE A
CUTOFF OF THE PRECIP ACROSS LONG ISLAND...WHICH MAY BRIEFLY SNEAK
INTO SOUTH COASTAL AREAS...BUT ANOTHER BATCH OF RAIN SEEN ACROSS SW
PA...WHICH WILL BRING MORE RAIN THERE.

THE MODELS DID HAVE SOME DIFFERENCES AS TO THE CUTOFF OF THE
PRECIPITATION TONIGHT. LEANED TOWARD THE GFS SOLUTION...AND TRENDING
THE PRECIP ENDING FROM SW-NE AFTER MIDNIGHT. WITH THE COLDER AIR
RUSHING IN BEHIND THE DEVELOPING LOW...WHICH WILL GET QUITE STRONG
OFFSHORE ON TUESDAY...EXPECT ANY MIXED PRECIP TO CHANGE TO SNOW
BEFORE TAPERING OFF TO SNOW SHOWERS OR ENDING.

SO...WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE TONIGHT...EXPECT TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS
OF 1 TO 4 INCHES...A COMBINATION OF SLEET AND SNOW...ACROSS SOUTHERN
NEW HAMPSHIRE...1 OR 2 INCHES IN FAR NORTHERN MASSACHUSETTS...AND AN
INCH OR LESS FROM NEAR LAWRENCE TO WORCESTER TO WESTERN HAMPDEN
COUNTY. MANY PLACES WILL PROBABLY SEE MORE GLAZING THAN ANYTHING
ELSE TODAY INTO TONIGHT...UPWARD TO 1/4 INCH ACCRETION.

USED MAINLY THE MET MOS GUIDANCE TEMPS FOR TODAY...THEN LEANED
TOWARD THE MAV FOR TONIGHT.

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AN UPPER TROF SWINGS ACROSS NEW ENGLAND TUESDAY.  LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
LINGERS TUESDAY...THEN DIMINISHES TOWARD EVENING.  THE REGION ALSO
COMES UNDER THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF A 188 KNOT UPPER JET...
ENHANCING THE SUPPORT FOR LIFT. ALL OF THIS SHOULD TRANSLATE INTO
VARIABLE CLOUDS ALONG WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS ESPECIALLY NORTH
OF THE MASS PIKE.

THE MOVEMENT OF VERY COLD AIR INTO COASTAL MASSACHUSETTS WILL ALSO
LEAD TO OCEAN EFFECT CLOUDS AND SNOW SHOWERS.  AIR-WATER TEMPERATURE
DIFFERENTIALS REACH 17C TUESDAY EVENING AFTER THE UPPER TROF MOVES
PAST...AND MAXIMIZE AROUND 25-26C WEDNESDAY MORNING.  LITTLE
DIRECTIONAL SHEAR IS FORECAST IN THE LOWEST FEW THOUSAND FEET OF
WINDS.  WIND SPEEDS ARE FORECAST IN THE 20S OF KNOTS...WHICH COULD
LIMIT RESIDENCE TIME OF AIR PARCELS OVER THE 5-7C OCEAN WATER.  WITH
A NORTHWEST (310) WIND...CONDITIONS SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR A
FORECAST OF CHANCE POPS FOR SNOW SHOWERS ALONG THE OUTER CAPE WITH
LITTLE OR NO POPS EAST OF HYANNIS.  THE VARIATION IN PROBABILITY
ACROSS BARNSTABLE COUNTY WILL PROBABLY GET AVERAGED OUT...
ELIMINATING ANY MENTION OF SNOW SHOWERS IN THE TEXT VERSION OF THE
ZONE FORECAST.

THE COLD ADVECTION WILL ALSO BRING MIXING OF STRONGER WIND GUSTS TO
THE SURFACE.  SO IN ADDITION TO WINDY CONDITIONS TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY DUE TO THE PRESSURE INCREASE (6 MB/6 HR RATE FROM TUESDAY
AFTERNOON TO WEDNESDAY MORNING) THERE WILL ALSO BE STRONGER WIND
GUSTS.  WINDS IN THE MIXING LAYER ARE GENERALLY 25-30 KTS...BUT WITH
THE NAM/GFS AVERAGE BUMPING TO 30-35 KTS NEAR CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE EAST COAST WEDNESDAY BRINGING
DIMINISHING WIND INLAND WED AFTERNOON AND ALL ZONES WED NIGHT.  THE
RIDGE AXIS THEN SHIFTS SOUTH OF US THURSDAY...BRINGING INCREASING
SOUTHWEST WINDS THROUGH THE DAY.  THIS WILL PUSH OUT THE COLD AIR
AND RETURN US TO MORE SEASONABLE CONDITIONS.

THE MAV AND MET OUTPUT WERE SIMILAR IN SOME RESPECTS...BUT WITH THE
MAV SEVERAL DEGREES LESS COLD ON WEDNESDAY.  WE FAVORED THE MAV AND
MEX TEMPERATURES.

NO CHANGES PAST THURSDAY.  THE NEXT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WOULD
COME FRIDAY AS A COLD FRONT SWINGS ACROSS THE REGION.

&&

.AVIATION...
AS RAIN AND MIXED PRECIPITATION OVERSPREAD THE REGION DURING THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS...CEILINGS HAVE LOWERED TO MVFR TO IFR AT MOST
LOCATIONS. EXPECT MOST TAF LOCATIONS TO BE IFR FOR A GOOD PORTION OF
TODAY IN BOTH CEILINGS AND VSBYS. NOTE THAT THE WINDS AT WORCESTER
WILL BE INTERMITTENTLY OUT DUE TO THE FREEZING RAIN. AS THE
PRECIPITATION TAPERS OFF LATER TONIGHT...BY AROUND 03Z TO
04Z...EXPECT VSBYS TO IMPROVE TO MVFR /3-5SM/...BUT CEILINGS WILL
REMAIN IFR THROUGH 06Z.

&&

.MARINE...
IN THE SHORT TERM...WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE AS LOW PRESSURE
MOVES ACROSS THE WATERS TODAY. EXPECT WINDS TO SHIFT TO WEST AND
NORTHWEST TONIGHT...WITH GUSTS INCREASING TO AROUND 20 KT. AS FOR
SEAS...ALREADY HAVE SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS DUE TO THE ONSHORE FLOW
ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS...BUT EXPECT SEAS TO INCREASE BY TONIGHT ON
THE SOUTH SOUNDS SO HAVE PUT A SMALL CRAFT THERE AS WELL.

LONG TERM...EXPECT MAINLY SMALL CRAFT NORTHWESTERS BEHIND THE
DEPARTING LOW PRESSURE...WINDS ALOFT SHOW 30 KNOT GUSTS AVAILABLE TO
BE MIXED DOWN TO THE OCEAN SURFACE. BUT THE DEPARTING LOW PRESSURE
WILL INTENSIFY TO A GALE CENTER OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS. WIND GUSTS
BROUGHT TO THE SURFACE IN THE COLD AIR WEDNESDAY SHOW SOME POTENTIAL
OF REACHING 35 KTS...MAINLY EAST AND SOUTHEAST OF CAPE COD.  ALL
WIND SHOULD DIMINISH LATE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.
