AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1004 PM EST SUN DEC 2 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM MOVING OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL REDEVELOP
NEAR THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BY MONDAY.  THIS STORM WILL RAPIDLY
INTENSIFY AS IT TRACKS NORTHEAST INTO THE GULF OF MAINE LATE MONDAY
BEFORE PUSHING INTO THE MARITIMES TUESDAY. ANOTHER WEAK LOW WILL
TRACK SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THEN HIGH PRESSURE WILL
FOLLOW FOR THURSDAY. A SERIES OF FRONTAL SYSTEMS MAY AFFECT THE
REGION LATE IN THE WEEK OR SOMETIME NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...

LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES STATES
WHILE SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS NEAR LONG ISLAND. THE HEAVY
PRECIP DOESN/T LOOK TO ARRIVE TIL AFTER MIDNIGHT. AS OF LATE
EVENING...THE LOW LEVELS ARE QUITE SATURATED WHILE THE MID LEVELS ARE
STILL SHOWING FAIRLY DRY AIR. THIS IS PROMOTING FREEZING DRIZZLE
ACROSS A LOT OF THE CWA WHICH IS ICING UP ROADS QUITE WELL. HAVE
EXTENDED THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY TO INCLUDE RI AND THE REST OF
SE/E MASS FOR THIS THREAT.

STILL A BIT UNSURE ON THE PRECIP TYPE LATER TONIGHT...AFTER 06Z. AWAY
FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST...THE SURFACE WILL BE BELOW FREEZING. THIS
MEANS ANY PRECIP WILL BE FREEZING AND/OR FROZEN. AS THE MID LEVELS
SATURATE AND A SLUG OF STRONG OMEGA ENTERS THE PICTURE...THE MID
LEVELS WILL COOL A BIT. THIS MAY ALLOW FOR A BURST OF A FEW INCHES OF
SNOW ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF THE REGION...EVEN THE HFD-PVD-BOS
CORRIDOR. SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN WILL LIKELY BECOME A PROBLEM
AGAIN TOWARD MORNING NORTH AND WEST OF I-95. ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-95
TEMPS SHOULD WARM TO AROUND OR JUST ABOVE FREEZING BY EARLY
MORNING...ALLOWING FOR PLAIN RAIN THERE.

WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH THE SITUATION CAREFULLY AS THE OVERNIGHT
WEARS ON...AS VERY CHANGEABLE WEATHER IS QUITE LIKELY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
SHORT RANGE MODELS WERE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE
DEVELOPMENT AND MOVEMENT OF THE LOW ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

TO START OFF...EXPECT THE MIXED BAG OF PRECIP TO CONTINUE
EARLY...MAINLY IN A STRIP FROM CAPE ANN THROUGH NEAR WORCESTER TO
NEAR SPRINGFIELD. THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE OFF THE E COAST OF
MASSACHUSETTS BY 18Z. THIS WILL EFFECTIVELY CUT OFF THE MID LAYER
WARMING...SO WILL ONLY SEE A MIX OF RAIN AND/OR SNOW BY MIDDAY. AT
THIS POINT...FEEL THAT FAR INLAND AREAS...SW NH AND N CENTRAL AND NW
MA...MAY NOT HAVE MUCH IF ANY MIX AND MAY ONLY BARELY REACH
FREEZING.

SO...HAVE CARRIED THE HIGHEST SNOWFALL AMOUNTS...ON THE ORDER OF
6-10 INCHES...FOR S NH AND KEPT WARNINGS IN PLACE. WILL ALSO SEE
GOOD SNOW AMOUNTS INTO NORTHERN MASSACHUSETTS...N OF ROUTE 2...
MAINLY 3-6 INCHES WITH SOME 7 INCH AMOUNTS. THIS AREA IS WHERE THE
TIGHTEST SNOW GRADIENT WILL BE...FROM NO SNOW TO QUITE A BIT.
FURTHER SOUTH...CARRIED MAINLY 2 INCHES OR LESS INTO N CT/N
RI/INTERIOR SE MA. SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST ACCUMULATING STORM OF THE
SEASON...ALONG WITH MIXED PRECIPITATION...CONTINUED THE ADVISORY
AREAS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED. QUESTION AT THIS POINT WILL BE WHETHER
WARMER AIR WILL ARRIVE TO SCOUR OUT COLD AIR IN PLACE BEFORE THE LOW
MOVES OFF THE COAST AND INTENSIFIES. AT THIS POINT...DOES NOT LOOK
LIKE IT WILL FOR FAR INLAND AREAS.

ONCE THE LOW MOVES OFF THE COAST...IT WILL DEEPEN RAPIDLY AS IT
MOVES INTO THE GULF OF MAINE LATE MONDAY. WILL SEE WEST WINDS
REALLY PICK UP AS PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS.  MODELS HAVE SHOWN
CONSISTENCY OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS IN SIGNALING ANOTHER BURST OF
HIGH WINDS LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY NIGHT...AGAIN ON THE
CAPE AND ISLANDS WHERE THE WEST WINDS WILL CROSS THE RELATIVELY
WARMER WATERS. DID NOT INCLUDE BLOCK ISLAND AT THIS POINT...AS IT
WILL BE A BORDERLINE SITUATION...BUT MAY SEE HIGH WINDS THERE AS
WELL. COULD SEE GUSTS IN THE 50-60 MPH RANGE. SO...HAVE ALSO ISSUED
A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE CAPE AND ISLANDS FOR LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON
AND MONDAY NIGHT. ELSEWHERE...MAY ALSO SEE WINDS AT ADVISORY LEVEL.

TEMPS WILL TOP OFF MID-LATE MORNING...THEN WILL FALL BACK AS THE
COLDER AIR RUSHES IN BEHIND THE DEVELOPING LOW.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH POSITION OF STORM IN THE GULF OF MAINE
AT 00Z TUE...THEN SHOW RAPID DEEPENING DOWN TO NEAR 970 MB AT 12Z
TUE AS THE STORM MOVES INTO THE MARITIMES.  STRONG WEST WINDS WILL
BE GREATEST CONCERN MON NIGHT ACROSS SNE AND ESPECIALLY
CAPE/ISLANDS.

NAM WIND FIELD LOOKS A BIT TOO WEAK GIVEN THE INTENSITY OF THIS
STORM AND RAPID DEEPENING SO WE FOLLOWED THE GFS.  WELL MIXED
ENVIRONMENT WITH CAA SUGGESTS MOST OF THE 45-50 KT WINDS AT 925 MB
WILL MIX DOWN.  STRONGEST LOW LEVEL WINDS AND BEST MIXING OVER THE
CAPE/ISLANDS AND WE HAVE ISSUED A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THIS AREA.
REST OF SNE TO JUST OUTSIDE THE I95 CORRIDOR WILL LIKELY SEE
ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS MON NIGHT.  PRESSURE RISES BEHIND DEPARTING
STORM ARE NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE MON NIGHT WHICH IS ONE NEGATIVE FACTOR
FOR STRONG WINDS...BUT RAPID DEEPENING OF STORM AND WELL MIXED
ENVIRONMENT SHOULD MAKE UP FOR THIS.

WE WILL CONTINUE WITH A CHANCE SNOW SHOWERS MON NIGHT AS MODELS SHOW
CONSIDERABLE WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WITH SHORTWAVE ENERGY ROTATING
AROUND DEEP UPPER LOW.  MINS MOSTLY IN THE 20S.

GUSTY W/NW WINDS WILL PERSIST TUE BUT NOT BE AS STRONG AS MON NGT AS
LOW LEVEL JET AXIS SHIFTS EWD.  STILL LOOKING AT POSSIBLE GUSTS TO
35-40 MPH.  A FEW SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES POSSIBLE IN NW FLOW
TUE...ESPECIALLY ELEVATED TERRAIN.  ARCTIC COLD WILL RETURN TUE
THROUGH THU WITH TEMPS SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL AS CROSS POLAR
FLOW BECOMES ESTABLISHED.  MAXES WILL RANGE FROM UPPER 20S NW HIGHER
ELEVATIONS TO MID 30S COASTAL PLAIN.  MINS IN THE TEENS TO LOW/MID
20S.

WE DISCOUNTED NAM SOLUTION OF CLIPPER SYSTEM TRACKING EAST FROM THE
GREAT LAKES WED AND EVENTUALLY INTO NEW ENG WED NIGHT.  NAM LOOKS
TOO AMPLIFIED AND TOO FAR NORTH WITH TRACK OF LOW AND PREFER
WEAKER/FLATTER SOLUTION OF GFS/ECMWF WHICH SHOWS WEAKER LOW PASSING
WELL SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND.  STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS AS GGEM
AND ENSEMBLE MEAN ARE FURTHER NORTH SO THIS BEARS WATCHING.  WE WILL
HAVE SLIGHT CHC POPS IN THE GRIDS FOR LATE WED/WED NIGHT WITH CHC
OVER ACK.

MODERATING TREND IS LIKELY FRI INTO THE WEEKEND AS SOUTHERN STREAM
TROF DIGS INTO THE SW US WITH FLATTER NORTHERN STREAM JET ACROSS THE
NE.  THERE WILL BE A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES IN FAST MOVING FLOW BUT
TIMING THESE FEATURES IN THE EXTENDED IS ALWAYS A CHALLENGE.  WE
HAVE CHC POPS FOR FRI AND AGAIN ON SUNDAY BUT FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS
LOW.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MAIN PART OF THE ACTION WILL ARRIVE AFTER MIDNIGHT. EXPECT CEILINGS
TO DROP TO IFR WITH MVFR VSBYS. THIS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY.
MAY HAVE POCKETS OF LIFR IN ANY HEAVIER PRECIPITATION. FREEZING
DRIZZLE WILL BE AN ISSUE THROUGH ABOUT 06Z.

OUTLOOK...MON NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...
MAINLY VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD...BUT AREAS OF MVFR CIGS LIKELY MON
NGT/TUE IN ANY SNOW SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY HIGHER TERRAIN LOCATIONS.
ANOTHER CHANCE OF MVFR WILL BE LATE WED/WED NIGHT NEAR THE COAST
WITH CLIPPER SYSTEM TRACKING TO THE SOUTH.

STRONG WINDS WILL BE MAIN CONCERN MON NGT WITH G40-50 KTS
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY AT KACK/KHYA WITH A LOWER PROBABILITY AT
KBOS/KPVD/KORH.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS WILL START OFF LIGHT AND VARIABLE...BUT WILL SHIFT TO S-SE AND
PICK UP TO 20-30 KTS ON THE SOUTHERN WATERS AFTER MIDNIGHT. SEAS
WILL ALSO INCREASE RATHER QUICKLY ON THE SOUTHERN WATERS TO 5-8 FT.

ON MONDAY...EXPECT WINDS TO START OFF AT GALE FORCE FROM THE
S-SE...THEN WILL LULL A BIT IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON AS THE LOW PASSES
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. ONCE THE LOW MOVES INTO MASSACHUSETTS
BAY...IT WILL BEGIN TO INTENSIFY RAPIDLY. EXPECT W WINDS TO INCREASE
TO GALE FORCE LATE IN THE DAY. SEAS WILL BUILD TO 10-12 FT...WITH
HIGHEST S AND E OF NANTUCKET.

IN THE LONGER TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...
WE UPGRADED TO A STORM WARNING FOR OUTER WATERS SOUTH AND EAST OF
ACK FOR MON NGT.  EXCELLENT MIXING IN CAA PATTERN OVER RELATIVELY
WARMER WATERS SUPPORTS SOME G50 KTS.  WE WILL CONTINUE GALES REST OF
THE WATERS.

STORM FORCE GUSTS MAY LINGER INTO TUE MORNING BEFORE WINDS SLOWLY
BEGIN TO SUBSIDE TUE AFTERNOON THROUGH WED AS PRESSURE GRADIENT
SLACKENS.  A PULSE OF G25 KTS IN NW FLOW POSSIBLE THU BEHIND CLIPPER
SYSTEM.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
PROBLEMS CONTINUE WITH THE NOAA WEATHER RADIO BROADCAST FROM BLUE
HILL /BOSTON/.  THERE IS A LARGE OUTAGE ON CARRIER LINES...ONE OF
WHICH INCLUDES THE LINE FROM WFO TAUNTON TO THE BLUE HILL
TRANSMITTER. THE TELEPHONE COMPANY IS DILIGENTLY TO REPAIR THIS
OUTAGE AND RETURN THE LINE FOR OUR NOAA WEATHER RADIO BROADCAST TO
AIR. A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT HAS BEEN ISSUED ON THIS. WE STILL
HAVE NO ESTIMATED TIME WHEN THE BROADCAST WILL RETURN.
