AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
412 PM EST SAT DEC 15 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHERN STATES WILL DEVELOP INTO A POWERFUL
STORM AS IT MOVES TO THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COAST SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. IT WILL BRING A VARIETY OF BRIEFLY INTENSE AND RAPIDLY
CHANGING HAZARDOUS ELEMENTS TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND LATER TONIGHT
AND ON SUNDAY. VERY WINDY COLD DRY WEATHER WILL RUSH INTO THE REGION
EARLY MONDAY EASING LATER TUESDAY.

&&

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

FORECAST FOR TONIGHT AND SUNDAY IS A COMPLEX ONE AS A POTENT LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM RAPIDLY DEVELOPS AS IT APPROACHES TONIGHT AND MOVES
OVERHEAD ON SUNDAY. 12Z MODELS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND WE FEEL THAT A
COMPROMISE IS IN ORDER...WITH MORE WEIGHT GIVE TO THE GFS.

PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN TO OVERSPREAD SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AROUND
OR JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT AND WILL DO SO QUICKLY. MODELS ARE INDICATING
A GOOD THUMP OF QPF BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z. MOST IF NOT ALL ZONES
SHOULD BEGIN AS SNOW...HOWEVER...WARMER AIR WILL WORK IN ALOFT
/BETWEEN 800 AND 700 MB/ AS IS TYPICALLY THE CASE IN THESE STRONG
WAA EVENTS. THE FORECAST PROBLEM IS HOW MUCH SNOW FALLS BEFORE IT
GOES OVER TO SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN.

STUCK PRETTY CLOSE TO GFS THERMAL PROFILES AS THEY SEEM TO HAVE BEEN
MORE ACCURATE WITH THESE WAA WINTER WX EVENTS. THE NAM HOLDS ONTO
THE COLD MID LEVEL AIR TOO LONG IN THESE SCENARIOS. EXPECT SNOW TO
RAPIDLY CHANGE TO SLEET AND/OR FREEZING RAIN FROM SOUTH TO NORTH FOR
AREAS SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE CLOSE TO SUNRISE.

CONVERTED THE WINTER STORM WATCHES OVER TO WARNINGS FOR THE ZONES
ROUGHLY NORTH OF THE MASS PIKE AND ALONG/WEST OF I-495. IT IS IN
THIS AREA WHERE MODERATE TO STRONG FGEN/-EPV FORCING LOOKS TO
COINCIDE WITH THE BEST SNOW GROWTH TO PRODUCE. THEREFORE WE ARE
EXPECTING A GOOD THUMP OF SNOW AND POTENTIALLY A BIT OF SLEET BY
MORNING...TOTALING BETWEEN 4 TO 8 INCHES. WHERE PEOPLE END UP IN
THAT RANGE WILL DEPEND ON HOW FAST THE MID LEVEL WARM SURGE ADVECTS
IN.

SOUTH AND EAST OF THE WINTER STORM WARNING AREA...HAVE GONE WITH
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES FOR A MIXTURE OF SNOW...SLEET...AND
FREEZING RAIN. BELIEVE SNOWFALL TOTALS SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE WILL
AVERAGE 1 TO 3 INCHES. THERE IS SOME BUST POTENTIAL HERE...DEPENDING
ON HOW STRONG THE SURGE OF WARM MID LEVEL AIR IS. HOWEVER...FEEL
CONFIDENT THAT SLEET MIXING WILL OCCUR FAIRLY QUICKLY. IF THE SLEET
GETS WARDED OFF LONGER THAN EXPECTED...THEN SLIGHTLY HIGHER SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS WILL BE POSSIBLE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...

SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE REALLY GETS CRANKING SUNDAY. PRESSURE FALLS
ARE VERY IMPRESSIVE. CURRENTLY THINKING THAT THE PRIMARY LOW WILL
STAY STRONG AS WELL...BUT THE SECONDARY WILL FORM SOMEWHERE NEAR NYC
EARLY SUN AFTERNOON AND TRAVEL TO NEAR BOSTON BY AROUND 00Z WHILE
BOMBING OUT.

THE SLEET/SNOW LINE WILL RAPIDLY ADVANCE NORTHWARD SUNDAY MORNING.
BY MID SUNDAY MORNING...SNOW SHOULD BE CONFINED TO THE NORTHERNMOST
TIER OF ZONES. FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET SHOULD BE FALLING OVER MOST
OF THE INTERIOR AND PLAIN RAIN TOWARD THE COAST. ICE AMOUNTS OVER
INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE CWA...INCLUDING NORTHERN CT AND
NORTHERN/CENTRAL MA COULD APPROACH OR EXCEED 1/3 INCH.

POPS SHOULD DECREASE SUBSTANTIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON FOR MOST
LOCATIONS AS DRY SLOT ZOOMS IN.

SNOW/SLEET AMOUNTS AND WARNING/ADVISORY CONFIGURATION HAVE ALREADY
BEEN OUTLINED IN THE NEAR TERM SECTION OF THE AFD...SO WILL NOT
REHASH HERE.

THE WINDS WILL BECOME A BIG CONCERN BY MID MORNING AS THE LOW REALLY
BOMBS OUT. EASTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 30 TO 40 MPH ON THE CAPE
AND ISLANDS WITH GUSTS UP TO 60 MPH. THESE WILL LAST THROUGH THE MID
AFTERNOON BEFORE BECOMING SW AT THE SAME SPEEDS VERY LATE AFTERNOON
INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. HIGH WIND WARNINGS HAVE BEEN POSTED
FOR THESE AREAS. WIND ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN POSTED FOR THE REST OF
EASTERN MASS AND RI FOR THE SAME TIME PERIOD...FOR WINDS OF 25 TO 30
MPH WITH GUSTS AROUND 50 MPH. PORTIONS OF THE ADVISORY AREA ON THE
IMMEDIATE COAST OF MASS AND RI MAY HAVE TO BE UPGRADED TO WARNINGS
BUT HAD LOW CONFIDENCE TO DO SO AS OF LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THE WIND
ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS MAY HAVE TO BE EXTENDED A BIT LONGER THAN
CURRENTLY FORECAST /02Z/.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SUNDAY NIGHT...
MUCH OF OUR REGION MAY BE DRY SLOTTED BY EARLY SUNDAY EVENING...AS
THE DEEP SURFACE LOW LOOKS TO BE SOMEWHERE JUST EAST OF THE
WORCESTER HILLS.  MODELS MIGHT BE A BIT TOO FAR WEST WITH THE
SURFACE LOW...AS IT WILL PROBABLY BE SHUNTED A BIT SOUTH AND EAST
OF WHERE THE SHALLOW COLD AIR REMAINS IN PLACE.  AS THE DEEP SURFACE
LOW LIFTS OFF INTO THE GULF OF MAINE WINDS WILL SHIFT AROUND TO THE
SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE REGION.  GFS BUFKIT
CONTINUES TO INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FOR 45 TO 55 KNOT WIND GUSTS
ACROSS THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.  ITS STILL TOO EARLY TO CONVERT THIS TO
A HIGH WIND WARNING BUT DEFINITELY WILL BE CONTINUING WITH THE
WATCH.

AS FOR PRECIPITATION...WE WILL LIKELY SEE SOME BACKLASH SNOW SHOWERS
ACROSS SOUTHERN NH AND NORTHEAST MA.  MAY EVEN SEE AN INCH OR SO OF
ADDITIONAL SNOW ACCUMULATION SO WILL CARRY SOME LOW END LIKELY POPS
DURING THE EVENING HOURS.

LATER IN THE NIGHT...A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE
REGION.  THERE MAY BE ENOUGH CONVERGENCE ON THE FRONT TO PRODUCE A
BRIEF BAND OF SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS SO WILL EVEN CARRY LOW CHANCE
POPS RIGHT TO THE COASTAL PLAIN.  BEHIND THE FRONT WE WILL UNDERCUT
MOS GUIDANCE A FEW DEGREES WITH SNOW COVER AND SUPPORT FROM THE
MODEL 2 METER TEMPERATURE FORECASTS.  LOW SHOULD FALL INTO THE TEENS
ACROSS THE INTERIOR WITH LOW TO MID 20S ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN.
WE MAY ALSO NEED WIND ADVISORIES FOR PORTIONS OF THE REGION...AS
SOME GUSTS NEAR 45 MPH ARE POSSIBLE AS VERY COLD AIR MOVES BACK INTO
THE REGION.

LAST VALENTINES DAY...WE HAD A FLASH FREEZE ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN
AS WINDS RAPIDLY SHIFTED TO THE NORTH AND TEMPERATURES TUMBLED
THROUGH THE 20S.  IN THIS CASE...WE EXPECT THE WINDS TO FIRST TURN
SOUTHWEST AND THEN TO THE NORTHWEST.  THEREFORE...TEMPERATURES
SHOULD NOT FALL SHARPLY UNTIL LATE AT NIGHT AND THERE WILL PROBABLY
BE TIME FOR A FAIR AMOUNT OF DRYING.  NONETHELESS...ANY STANDING
WATER AND SLUSH WILL HAVE QUICKLY RE-FROZEN BY DAYBREAK ON MONDAY
ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN AS TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW FREEZING.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...
DRY WEATHER EXPECTED...BUT VERY COLD AIR WILL LIKELY BE DRAWN DOWN
FROM THE NORTHWEST AS THE POWERFUL COASTAL STORM LIFTS INTO CANADA.
ALTHOUGH NONE OF THE MODELS ARE EXTREMELY COLD AT 850 MB...WE
BELIEVE THAT WITH LOTS OF SNOW COVER OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND THERE
MIGHT BE THE TENDENCY FOR THIS AIRMASS TO COMEDOWN SOMEWHAT
SHALLOW.  THIS APPEARS TO BE REFLECTED IN THE GFS/NAM 2 METER
TEMPERATURE FIELDS SO HAVE LOWERED MEX GUIDANCE A BIT.  LOW
TEMPERATURES STAND A GOOD CHANCE OF DROPPING TO AROUND 0 ACROSS
NORTHWEST MA AND SOUTHWEST NH.  THE REST OF THE REGION SHOULD SEE
LOWS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO MID TEENS.  HIGHS WILL MAINLY BE IN THE
20S TO LOWER 30S.

IN ADDITION NORTHWEST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 40 MPH ARE
EXPECTED ON MONDAY WHICH WILL RESULT IN WIND CHILLS WELL DOWN IN THE
TEENS.  THE WINDS WILL BE MUCH LIGHTER ON TUESDAY...BUT IT STILL
WILL BY VERY COLD.

WEDNESDAY...
THE COLD CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING OFF THE COAST WILL
ALLOW FOR TEMPERATURES TO MODERATE A BIT.  HIGHS SHOULD RECOVER BACK
INTO THE 30S ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION WHICH LATEST MEX GUIDANCE
REFLECTS WELL.  WILL INCLUDE A LOW CHANCE POPS FOR A PERIOD OF SNOW
SHOWERS IN THE WEAK WARM ADVECTION PATTERN.  ANY PRECIPITATION THAT
FALL THOUGH SHOULD BE RATHER LIGHT.

THURSDAY...
RATHER SEASONABLE WEATHER EXPECTED OUT AHEAD OF OUR NEXT POTENTIAL
STORM.  HIGHS SHOULD RECOVER INTO THE LOWER 40S ACROSS MUCH OF THE
REGION.

FRIDAY...
ITS A LONG WAY OFF SO CONFIDENCE IS LOW.  HOWEVER...THE GFS/GFS
ENSEMBLES SHOW THE POTENTIAL FOR A COASTAL STORM FRIDAY AND FRIDAY
NIGHT.  MEANWHILE...THE LATEST ECMWF HAS THE STORM SYSTEM PASSING
FURTHER SOUTHEAST JUST GIVING THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF OUR REGION A
GLANCING BLOW.  WAY TOO EARLY TO MAKE A CALL ON THIS BUT WILL
INCLUDE A CHANCE OR SNOW FOR THE INTERIOR AND RAIN/SNOW FOR THE
COAST.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THROUGH 06Z/16 TONIGHT...OCEAN EFFECT BAND OF MVFR CONDS IN AND NEAR
SNOW SHOWERS SWEEPING ASHORE IN SE MASS NOW. GENERAL MVFR CIGS WILL
BE SPREADING INTO EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS BETWEEN 03Z AND 06Z TONIGHT
FROM NOVA SCOTIA AND THE GULF OF MAINE...WHERE ITS DEVELOPING NOW. IT
WILL BE TARGETING SE NH AND NE MASS WITH FLURRIES ON A COLD NE BL
WINDS. OTRW VFR ALL OTHER KBOX TAF LOCATIONS.

AFTER 06Z/16 LATE TONIGHT...MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS IN SNOW ARRIVE 08Z-
09Z AND SHOULD QUICKLY LOWER TO IFR/LIFR 12Z-14Z IN A BURST OF HEAVY
SNOW AND/OR HEAVY SLEET DEPENDING ON TAF LOCATION. PLS SEE TAFS FOR
TIMING DETAILS.

SUNDAY THRU 18Z...IFR/LIFR THROUGH THE DAY SUNDAY WITH PRECIPITATION
TRANSITIONING FROM SNOW TO SLEET TO RAIN/FREEZING RAIN. LLWS NOT
POSTED IN THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY DUE TO DECENT TRANSFER IN
LOW LVL UNSTABLE COLD POOL STILL ROLLING IN OFF THE OCEAN AND HAVING
ORIGINATED FROM NOVA SCOTIA TODAY. HAVE POSTED GUSTS IN THE 40S HYA
AND ACK. WE COULD SEE ELY G50 KTS THERE FOR AN HR SOMETIME BTWN
15-18Z.

SUNDAY AFTER 18Z...IFR/LIFR WITH STRONGEST WIND ARRIVING BOS AROUND
18-20Z WITH POTENTIAL G42 KT. MEANWHILE TIMING THE SW WIND SHIFT ON
KACK/HYA BECOMES THE NEXT ISSUE.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR SUNDAY EVENING...BUT STRONG SW WIND
GUSTS PARTICULARLY ON THE COAST ARE EXPECTED. G45-55KT ANTICIPATED
SOMETIME BTWN 00-06Z. MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THE REST OF
THE TIME..BUT THERE COULD BE A PERIOD OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ON
WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
IN THE SHORTER TERM...TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...TRANQUIL CONDITIONS
TONIGHT WILL GIVE WAY TO A BIG INCREASE IN WINDS SUNDAY MORNING AS
LOW APPROACHES WHILE BOMBING OUT. EXPECT RAPID RISE IN SEAS TO
DANGEROUS LEVELS BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS WITH EASTERLY STORM FORCE
GUSTS EXPECTED BY MID MORNING. WINDS WILL LULL AS THE LOW PASSES
OVERHEAD LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING...BUT WSWLY STORMS SHOULD
RESUME AS THE LOW PASSES DURING THE EVENING.

IN THE LONGER TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
AS THE INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LIFTS TO OUR NORTHEAST
SUNDAY NIGHT...STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP.  GFS BUFKIT
CONTINUES TO SHOW THE POTENTIAL FOR 50 KNOT WIND GUSTS ACROSS OUR
SOUTHERN WATERS.  SINCE ITS THE 4TH PERIOD ITS TOO EARLY TO HOIST A
STORM WARNING...BUT WILL CONTINUE WITH THE MARINE WEATHER
STATEMENT.  IN ADDITION...SEAS OVER OUR OPEN OUTER-WATERS WILL
LIKELY EXCEED 15 FEET FOR A TIME.

GALE FORCE NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE WATERS ON
MONDAY IN THE STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION PATTERN.  WINDS WILL FINALLY
SLACKEN TO SCA LEVELS MONDAY NIGHT AND FINALLY BELOW THOSE LEVELS ON
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE
REGION.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
NO COASTAL FLOOD WATCH AT THIS TIME. WE HAVE REVIEWED MODEL GUIDANCE
THOROUGHLY AND PREFER TO WAIT BEFORE ISSUING ANY WATCH. CURRENTLY WE
THINK BOSTON HARBOR WILL READ A 2 OR 2.2 FT STORM SURGE AT THE TIME
OF SUN AFTNS HIGH TIDE WITH SEAS OF 15-19 FT AT THE ENTRANCE TO
BOSTON HARBOR. THIS IS .4 TO .6 FT SURGE AND 1 TO 5 FT HIGHER THAN
THE GFS MODEL GUIDANCE. WE EXPECT WINDS TO BE ENE AT 30 KTS G45-50
KTS ON THE WATERS JUST E OF BOSTON AT THAT TIME. THIS COULD BE A
CLOSE CALL. HOWEVER... WE PREFER TO ISSUE A WATCH WHEN NEAR 50 PCT
CONFIDENCE OF VERIFYING.

WE ARE CERTAIN OF MINOR COASTAL SPLASHOVER AND ALL CARS PARKED ALONG
SEAWALLS FROM SCITUATE TO NEWBURYPORT INCLUDING
NANTASKET/WINTHROP/REVERE/ MARBLEHEAD ARE RECOMMENDED TO BE MOVED TO
PREVENT WIND AND SEA SPLASHOVER DRIVEN STONES FROM AND SAND FROM
DAMAGING THESE VEHICLES.

WE WILL MONITOR REAL TIME TIDE GAGE DATA TRENDS AGAINST THE GUIDANCE
AND MAKE ANY CHANGES IN DECISIONS EARLY SUNDAY.

THE NOS TIDE GAGE DATA AT BOSTON IS BEING FILTERED BY NOS PORTS. SOME
OF IT WILL BE RELEASED WHEN ITS CONSIDERED VALID. THE REPAIR HAS BEEN
ELEVATED. THIS GAGE HAS BEEN OTS FOR TIDE READINGS SINCE 1AM FRIDAY.

AT PVD...WE BELIEVE THE 2.2 PREDICTION BUT IN AN ELY COMPONENT...ITS
BELOW WATCH STATUS.

THE SW WIND BACKLASH COULD BE A PROBLEM FOR NARRAGANSETT ABD BUZZARDS
BAYS FOR THE MIDNIGHT LATE SUNDAY NIGHT TIDE CYCLE B UT AT THIS
TIME... WE THINK ANY SURGE REVERSING THE PREDICTED THE NEGATIVE
BLOWOUT INDICATOR OF THE GFS MRPSSE WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO WARRANT A
WATCH.
&&

.CLIMATE...
THE LAST 7 DAYS WORTH OF PRECIPITATION HAS RESULTED IN ABOVE NORMAL
DEPARTURE FROM NORMAL PERCENTAGES ACROSS THE SW 2/3RDS OF MASS AND
ALL OF RI...AND STARTING TO ALLEVIATE SHORT TERM MOISTURE SHORTAGE
THERE. STILL DRYER THAN NORMAL PAST 7 DAYS IN S NH AND NE MASS.

OBVIOUSLY WERE IN A GOOD STREAK OF EVENTS AND MORE ARE COMING.

TEMPERATURES...FIRST HALF OF THE MONTH/FIRST 14 DAYS/...AVGG 5 TO 7
DEGS BELOW NORMAL IN SNE.
