AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1136 AM EST TUE JAN 30 2007

.UPDATE...
GIVEN CLOUD COVER SLOW TO MOVE IN...NEEDED TO BACK OFF ON POPS THIS
AFTERNOON...PREFERRING TO HOLD OFF UNTIL THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 1016 AM EST TUE JAN 30 2007/

UPDATE...
CLOUDS ARE A LITTLE SLOWER TO MOVE IN...SO ADJUSTED SKY COVER DOWN A
LITTLE FOR LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON BUT MAINTAINING THE TREND TO
CLOUDY SKIES FOR TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES AT 14Z WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE
VIS A VIS THE FORECAST...SOME HIGHER SOME LOWER...BUT OVERALL LOOK
CLOSE ENOUGH TO REMAIN WITH. STILL LOOKS LIKE WINDS TRENDING DOWN
OVER THE WATERS THIS AFTERNOON BUT WILL MAINTAIN SMALL CRAFT HEADLINE
AS BEFORE.

PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 425 AM EST TUE JAN 30 2007/

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
.ACCUMULATING SNOW EVENT POSSIBLE TONIGHT AND WED MORNING ALONG
AND SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE...INCLUDING RI...

TODAY...
DRY CHILLY WEATHER TODAY BEFORE CLIPPER LOW ARRIVES TONIGHT.
TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH THE FREEZING MARK TODAY...
HOWEVER A DIMINISHING WIND THIS AFTERNOON WILL TAKE THE EDGE OFF
THE CHILLY TEMPERATURES.

TONIGHT AND WED...
MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT TRACKING CLIPPER LOW JUST SOUTH OF NEW
ENGLAND TONIGHT. MODEST MID LEVEL FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING ACROSS
CT/RI...ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-90 IN MA. THEN BY 12Z WED MODELS HAVE
CLIPPER LOW REDEVELOPING/INTENSIFYING SOUTH OF NANTUCKET. GFS IS
MOST BULLISH HERE WITH SUPPORT FROM ENSEMBLE MEAN. THIS
INTENSIFICATION RESULTS IN BRIEF BUT INCREASING ATLANTIC INFLOW
ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS...WITH SNOW TOOL FOR GFS QPF
INDICATING SNOW AMOUNTS UP TO 6.5 OVER CAPE COD.

NOT TOTALLY SOLD ON THIS FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS. FIRST...SYSTEM IS
VERY PROGRESSIVE. THUS...SHORT DURATION WILL LIMIT QPF. SECOND...FOR
WHATEVER REASON MOS POPS ARE ONLY 60-70% ACROSS THIS AREA...WHEN ONE
WOULD EXPECT MOS POPS CLOSER TO 90-100%. GIVEN THIS UPCOMING EVENT
IS NOT MUCH OF A DEVIATION FROM CLIMATOLOGY...THIS COULD BE A RED
FLAG FOR THE HIGHER GFS QPF.

GIVEN THE REASONS ABOVE...LEANING TOWARD THE NAM/WRF QPF /WHICH
DOESN/T HAPPEN OFTEN/ WHICH SUPPORTS SNOWFALL OF 1-3 INCHES ACROSS
EASTERN CT/RI AND SOUTHEAST MA...EXTENDING NORTHWEST FROM
IJD-ORH-BOS. 00Z RGEM & GGEM SIMILAR WITH AREAS OF 0.20 /5MM/ QPF
ACROSS SE MA. ELSEWHERE LESS THAN 0.20. ORIENTATION OF QPF FIELD
INDICATES NAM HAS GREATER QPF CONTRIBUTION TO OCEAN EFFECT
COMPONENT. NOT SURPRISING WITH NAM/S SUPERIOR BOUNDARY LAYER
RESOLUTION BEING ABLE TO PICK UP ON MOISTURE AND HEAT FLUXES.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE MAIN FORCING MECHANISM HERE IS MODEST MID
LEVEL FRONTOGENETICAL. BULK OF THIS LIFT OCCURS IN THE FAVORABLE
SNOW GROWTH REGION...ALONG SOME INSTABILITY DENOTED BY NEGATIVE EPV
VALUES IN THIS LAYER. THUS...SNOW COULD BE MODERATE TO HEAVY FOR AN
HOUR OR TWO EARLY FRI MORNING...IMPACTING THE MORNING COMMUTE. IN
ADDITION...GIVEN COLD TEMPS ALOFT EXPECTING A FLUFF FACTOR WITH SNOW
RATIOS OF 1.5-2.0. HOWEVER...SNOW TOTALS SHOULD BE LIMITED TO 1-3
INCHES GIVEN SHORT DURATION AND LACK OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE.

HIGHER AMOUNTS OF 3-5 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS CAPE COD/EASTERN
PLYMOUTH COUNTY AND NANTUCKET AS WINDS BECOME NORTH WED MORNING...
PROVIDING AN OCEAN EFFECT ENHANCEMENT. GIVEN QPF AND HIGH SNOW
RATIOS...SNOW ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR CAPE COD...EASTERN PLYMOUTH
COUNTY AND ACK...POSSIBLY EXTENDING WEST INTO RI. ALTHOUGH...GIVEN
LIMITED DURATION CONFIDENCE NOT HIGH ENOUGH AT THIS POINT TO ISSUE A
SNOW ADVISORY. HOWEVER...GIVEN THIS EVENT PLUS POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER
EVENT THU NIGHT AND FRI...WE WILL ISSUE A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
FOR THE POTENTIAL OF TWO ACCUMULATING SNOW EVENTS THIS WEEK.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
MODELS IN FAIR TO GOOD AGREEMENT THIS MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY
PORTION OF THIS FORECAST...THEN CONFIDENCE GOES DOWNHILL AS MODEL
SPREAD IS LARGE FOR POSSIBLE SYSTEM APPROACHING OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST
U.S. FOR LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.

STARTING OFF...EXPECT BUBBLE OF HIGH PRESSURE TO MOVE ACROSS THE MID
ATLANTIC STATES DURING WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...THEN WILL MOVE
OFF THE COAST BY THURSDAY NIGHT. WITH WINDS BACKING TO SOUTHWEST...
TEMPERATURES DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY SHOULD REBOUND CLOSE TO OR
EVEN A BIT ABOVE THE NORMALS FOR FEBRUARY 1.

BEYOND THIS...A LOT OF QUESTIONS REMAIN IN PLACE AS TO THE EVOLUTION
OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE MOVING OUT OF THE SOUTH CENTRAL STATES.
MODELS TEND TO AGREE ON A NEARLY STATIONARY LONG WAVE POSITIVELY
TILT TROUGH THROUGH THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHWESTERN U.S...WHICH WILL
TEND TO BACK THE UPPER LEVEL WINDS TO WEST AND SOUTHWEST OVER THE
REGION BY LATE THIS WEEK...BUT KEEP A FAST UPPER FLOW ACROSS THE
REGION.

LAST SEVERAL MODEL RUNS HAVE NOT SHED MUCH LIGHT ON THIS...AS
THERE HAVE BEEN A WIDE SPREAD OF SOLUTIONS AMONG THE MODEL SUITE.
HOWEVER...SOME GENERAL TRENDS HAVE SHOWN UP. APPEARS THAT THE 00Z
GFS MAY HAVE A GENERAL IDEA AS TO THE TRACK...BUT THIS MODEL APPEARS
TO DEEPEN THE SYSTEM WAY TOO MUCH AS COMPARED TO THE ECMWF...GGEM
AND NAM/WRF MODELS...ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE FAST UPPER FLOW. THE
00Z NCEP ENSEMBLE IS RATHER CLOSE TO THE 00Z GGEM AND NAM/WRF
SOLUTIONS...WHICH ARE NOT STRENGTHENING THIS LOW AS MUCH AS IT MOVES
QUICKLY SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND. THIS IS ALSO CLOSE TO THE ECMWF. WILL
LEAN THIS FORECAST TOWARD A BLEND OF THESE SOLUTIONS.

NOW...WITH THIS IN MIND...QUESTION WILL BE HOW CLOSE TO THE COAST
THIS LOW WILL TRACK...AND HOW MUCH COLD AIR WILL BE TRAPPED INLAND
TO PRODUCE SNOW.  APPEARS THAT...USING ABOUT 1/2 OF THE FORECAST QPF
FROM THE GFS...STILL CLOSE TO GIVING DECENT SNOWS FOR CENTRAL AND
WESTERN AREAS INTO SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE.  AT THIS POINT...APPEARS
THAT THE STEADIEST SNOW COULD OCCUR BETWEEN 06Z AND 18Z FRIDAY WITH
STRONGEST LIFT AS THE LOW PASSES TO THE SOUTH. NOTED A BRIEF AREA OF
VERY STRONG LIFT THROUGH THE AIRMASS ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN
AREAS LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING ON THE OMEGA CROSS
SECTION. DENDRITIC GROWTH MAY BE LACKING...BUT STILL QUITE A WAY OUT
FOR THIS.

AT THIS POINT...AND THIS IS STILL HIGHLY IN QUESTION DUE TO LACK IN
CONFIDENCE BECAUSE OF THE MODEL SOLUTION SPREAD...MAY SEE AT LEAST
ADVISORY LEVEL SNOWS FROM INTERIOR NORTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND
SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE THROUGH CENTRAL AND WESTERN MASS INTO NORTH
CENTRAL CONNECTICUT.  WILL MENTION THIS POSSIBILITY IN THE UPCOMING
STATEMENT FOR TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAYS EVENT.

BEYOND FRIDAY...LEFT THE PREVIOUS FORECAST INTACT DUE TO LACK OF
CONTINUITY THAT FAR OUT WITH THE MODEL SUITE.  HOWEVER...APPEARS
THAT PREVIOUS FORECAST IN LINE WITH 00Z NCEP ENSEMBLE. WILL KEEP
CHANCE OF LEFTOVER SNOW SHOWERS FRIDAY NIGHT...THEN A DRY FORECAST
AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OUT OF THE PLAINS STATES. MAY SEE A CHANCE
OF SNOW SHOWERS AGAIN SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT WITH LOW PRESSURE OFF
THE COAST...THOUGH POSITION IS IN QUESTION HERE.

AVIATION /09Z-06Z/...
VFR THROUGH DAYLIGHT HOURS. THEN MVFR CEILINGS AND VSBY OVERSPREAD
THE REGION TONIGHT FROM WEST TO EAST.

MARINE...
IN THE SHORT TERM...BRISK WEST WINDS OF 20-30 KT CONTINUE THIS
MORNING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WATERS. WINDS WILL DIMINISH
THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE THIS EVENING.
LIGHT NORTHEAST WINDS WILL DEVELOP TONIGHT AS CLIPPER LOW EXITS THE
GREAT LAKES AND TRACKS SOUTH OF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST. AS THE LOW
INTENSIFIES WED MORNING...NORTHEAST WINDS MAY GUSTS TO 30 KT...THEN
BECOME NORTHWEST WED AFTERNOON AND DIMINISH SOMEWHAT.

IN THE LONG TERM...MAY SEE LEFTOVER GUSTS TO 25 KTS ON THE OUTER
WATERS ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THEN DIMINISHING BRIEFLY BY THURSDAY
MORNING. WINDS WILL BACK TO SOUTHWEST EARLY THURSDAY...THEN WILL
BACK FURTHER TO E-SE AS LOW PRESSURE WORKS UP THE COAST.

QUESTIONS REMAIN AS TO EXACT TRACK AND STRENGTH OF THIS LOW. FOR
NOW...KEPT WINDS JUST A HAIR BELOW SMALL CRAFT WITH SEAS STEADILY
BUILDING WITH INCREASING NE FLOW THU NIGHT AND FRI. LOW SHOULD PULL
AWAY FRI NIGHT...WITH WEST FLOW THAT MAY APPROACH SMALL CRAFT
CRITERIA IN GUSTS...WHILE SEAS REMAIN AT OR ABOVE 5 FEET.
