...FLOOD WATCH IS CANCELLED...

THE FLOOD WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN CONNECTICUT...
MASSACHUSETTS AND SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE HAS BEEN CANCELED. 

RAINFALL FROM THE DEPARTING STORM AVERAGED AROUND 1.5 INCHES ALONG
AND WEST OF THE CONNECTICUT RIVER WITH ONE INCH AMOUNTS COMMON FROM
THE MONADNOCKS TO THE WORCESTER AND RHODE ISLAND HILLS. 

SINCE TEMPERATURES WERE ONLY IN THE 30S DURING MOST OF THIS EVENT...THERE
WAS ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF SNOW MELT WATER CONTRIBUTION TO THE OVERALL
RUNOFF FLOWING INTO AREA STREAMS.

THE RESULT WILL BE FAST FLOWING AND STILL RISING STREAMS AND RIVERS
BETWEEN NOW AND FRIDAY...BUT NO SIGNIFICANT FLOODING IS FORECAST.

CHILDREN ESPECIALLY SHOULD NOT PLAY ALONG THE SLIPPERY SLOPES OF THESE
FAST FLOWING STREAMS.

LOOKING AHEAD...ALL INTERESTS WITH HYDROLOGIC CONCERNS... SHOULD BE
ALERT TO THE LIKELIHOOD OF ANOTHER SUBSTANTIAL PRECIPITATION EVENT
OCCURRING HERE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY.

TRACK UNCERTAINTY HAS A BEARING ON THE PREDOMINANT TEMPERATURE REGIME
AND PRECIPITATION TYPE FOR THIS EVENT.

IT APPEARS THERE COULD BE ICE AND TEMPERATURES IN THE 30S OVER THE
SNOW COVERED REGION FOR MOST OF THE STORM. HOWEVER...A WARMER TRACK
WOULD ADD CONSIDERABLY TO THE FLOOD POTENTIAL THIS WEEKEND.

AS IT STANDS...THERE IS A HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF AT LEAST THREE QUARTER
INCH OF MELTED WATER EQUIVALENT PRECIPITATION FOR THIS STORM WITH 
POTENTIAL THAT A PORTION OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND RECEIVES 2 OR MORE INCHES.

THIS NOT ONLY RAISES RIVER AND STREAM FLOOD CONCERNS...BUT ALSO ADDS
TO THE DANGER FOR ADDITIONAL WATER WEIGHT ACCUMULATING ON THE SNOW
COVERED FLAT ROOF SPANS IN SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

FLOOD WATCHES FOR THIS NEXT EVENT WOULD NOT BE ISSUED UNTIL THURSDAY AT
THE EARLIEST.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
435 AM EST TUE MAR 4 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING...ACCOMPANIED BY RAIN SHOWERS. STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL
TRACK ACROSS INTERIOR NEW ENGLAND LATE TONIGHT AND WED MORNING. HEAVY
RAIN ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MINOR FLOODING WILL BE THE MAIN
CONCERN...ALTHOUGH SOME ICING IS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN
OF SOUTHERN NH. DRIER WEATHER FOLLOWS WED AFTERNOON THROUGH
THURSDAY...BEFORE ANOTHER STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL THREATEN THE
REGION WITH PROBABLY HEAVY RAIN LATER FRI INTO SAT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

NORTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE TROF OVER ONTARIO THIS MORNING WILL MOVE
EAST TODAY AND DRAG ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT ACROSS NEW ENGLAND THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. BEFORE THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...MILD AIR WILL
CONTINUE TO SURGE NORTHWARD ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. TEMPS HAVE
BEEN RISING MUCH OF THE NIGHT AND WILL CLIMB INTO THE 50S THIS
AFTERNOON ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA BEFORE THE COLD FRONT SWEEPS
THROUGH THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM NORTH TO SOUTH.

SOME WEAK FGEN ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT RESULTING IN A BAND OF
SHOWERS THIS AM WEST OF ALBANY. THESE SHOWERS WILL SLOWLY SAG
SOUTHEAST WITH THE FRONT. HOWEVER...FRONTAL FORCING IS WEAK AND
INSTABILITY IS LACKING...SO MUCH OF THE REGION TODAY WILL REMAIN DRY
SOUTH OF THE MA PIKE. NORTH OF HERE EXPECTING SOME LIGHT RAIN. PTYPE
WILL RAIN AS ANY LINGERING SHALLOW COLD AIR /EEN=27F/ ACROSS
NORTHWEST MA AND CHESHIRE COUNTY NH WILL MIX OUT WITH ARRIVAL OF
PRECIP. DDH ALREADY 49F

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...

BY THIS EVENING THE COLD FRONT WILL BE DRAPED ALONG OUR SOUTH COAST
WITH SHALLOW COLD AIR ACROSS THE REGION. COLDEST TEMPS WILL BE OVER
THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF MA AND ESPECIALLY NH. THIS IS AREA OF GREATEST
CONCERN FOR FREEZING RAIN TUE NIGHT INTO WED AM.

NAM SOUNDINGS OFFERING THE COLDEST BOUNDARY TEMPS AMONG THE MODEL
GUIDANCE...WITH 21Z SREF/00Z GFS AND 00Z GFS MOS ALL WARMER THAN NAM
AND NOT AS DEEP WITH COLD AIR. IN ADDITION...GIVEN TRACK OF SURFACE
LOW LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY WED MOVING ACROSS THE REGION...GREATEST
CHANCE OF PROLONG PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN WITH ACCRETION/GLAZE
GREATER THAN 0.50 WILL BE NORTHWEST OF THE REGION ACROSS VT AND
CENTRAL NH. THEREFORE...WILL DOWNGRADE THE WINTER STORM WATCH TO A
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY TO REFLECT LESS ICING.  NEVERTHELESS...
HAZARDOUS TRAVEL IS EXPECTED TUE NIGHT INTO EARLY WED MORNING ACROSS
CHESHIRE COUNTY...ESPECIALLY AT ELEVATIONS ABOVE 1 KFT. ALTHOUGH THE
EXTENT OF THE ICING WILL LIKELY NOT TAKE DOWN TREE LIMBS AND
POWERLINES.

NOT MUCH QPF FIRST HALF OF THE NIGHT...OTHER THAN AREAS OF DRIZZLE
ALONG THE SOUTH COAST NEAR THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THEN LATER TONIGHT
AS SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM APPROACHES STRONG LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS
SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND. THIS WILL RESULT IN STRONG ATLANTIC INFLOW
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...WITH HEAVY RAIN OVERSPREAD THE REGION
THE SECOND HALF OF THE NIGHT.

OVER CHESHIRE COUNTY OF NH THERE WILL LIKELY WE SEVERAL HOURS OF
FREEZING RAIN...AS SURFACE TEMPS HOVER AROUND FREEZING. THE COLDEST
TEMPS AND GREATEST ICING WILL OCCUR AT ELEVATIONS HIGHER THAN 1 KT.
OTHERWISE...THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA WILL HAVE ALL RAIN.

WEDNESDAY...
STRONG DIVERGENCE OVER THE AREA WED MORNING AHEAD OF VIGOROUS SHORT
WAVE TROF WILL COMBINE WITH VIGOROUS LOW LEVEL JET RESULTING IN HEAVY
RAIN THROUGH WED AM. 21Z SREF PROBS INDICATE HIGHEST CHANCE OF QPF
GREATER THAN 1 INCH ARE PROGGED ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF CT/MA
INTO SOUTHWEST NH...WITH A LOW PROB OF QPF GREATER THAN 2 INCH
AS WELL ACROSS THIS AREA. GFS AND ECMWF HAVE THE SAME QPF SIGNAL.

THIS SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN MID LEVEL CIRCULATION TRACKS WEST OF NEW
ENGLAND. THIS IS WHERE STRONGEST SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT AND FGEN
OVERLAP. IN ADDITION...THIS IS ALSO AREA OF GREATEST LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE AS SURFACE LOW TRACKS ACROSS THIS AREA. THEREFORE...
HEAVIEST RAINFALL EXPECTED IN THE CT RIVER VALLEY WHICH INCLUDES THE
GREATER HARTFORD/SPRINGFIELD AREA...EXTENDING NORTHWARD UP THE I-91
CORRIDOR. GIVEN FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE IS 2 INCHES ACROSS THIS AREA WE
WILL ISSUE A FLOOD WATCH ACROSS CT...WESTERN MA /ORH WESTWARD/ AND
EXTENDING NORTH INTO NH. EXPECT WED AM COMMUTE TO BE SLOW WITH
URBAN/POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING.

INITIALLY DEEP SNOWPACK ACROSS NORTHERN MA AND NH WILL ABSORB HEAVY
RAINFALL...HOWEVER BEHIND THIS SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM THERE IS A LACK
OF COLD AIR SO EXPECTING TEMPS TO WARM INTO THE 40S AND 50S. THIS
WILL RELEASE WED/S RAINFALL.

OTHER ISSUE WED WILL BE WIND POTENTIAL AS STRONG SOUTHERLY JET
DEVELOPS SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND EARLY WED AND THEN TRACKS OVER RI AND
SOUTHEAST MA LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON BEFORE EXITING OFFSHORE.
GFS BRINGS 80 KT 925 MB JET ACROSS AREA MENTIONED ABOVE. BOTH GFS AND
NAM SOUNDINGS INDICATE MIXED LAYER IS VERY SHALLOW...PRECLUDING
STRONGER WINDS ALOFT FROM REACHING THE SURFACE. HOWEVER...WITH HEAVY
RAIN MOVING ACROSS THE AREA ALONG WITH ANY EMBEDDED CONVECTIVE
ELEMENTS COULD RESULT IN VERY STRONG TO DAMAGING WINDS. GFS MOS WINDS
ARE SURPRISINGLY WEAK. GIVEN THIS IS A 3RD PERIOD FORECAST...WILL
HOLD OFF ON ANY HIGH WIND WATCH OR ADVISORY FOR NOW AND LET DAY SHIFT
MONITOR MODEL TRENDS.

RAIN WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST LATE MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON. SOME
PARTIAL SUNSHINE POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOON AND HIGH TEMPERATURES ALONG
THE COASTAL PLAIN SHOULD SOAR WELL INTO THE 50S WITH VERY WARM MID
LEVEL TEMPERATURES. EVEN THE DISTANT INTERIOR SHOULD SEE HIGHS
RECOVER WELL INTO THE 40S.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...

COLDER HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE NORTH FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST
UP INTO THE NEW ENGLAND AREA ON FRIDAY.  THERE IS A BIT OF A
DISCREPANCY IN THE TRACK OF THE LOW AS IT REACHES NEW ENGLAND.  THE
12Z ECMWF HAS THE LOW PRESSURE MOVING UP THROUGH EASTERN NEW YORK
WHILE THE 00Z RUNS OF THE GFS AND THE CANADIAN HAS IT MOVING
STRAIGHT THROUGH CT/MA.  BASED ON QPF OUTPUTS FOR ALL OF THESE
MODELS...WE WILL GET PRECIPITATION NO MATTER WHICH OF THESE TRACKS
THE LOW FOLLOWS.  THE DIFFERENCE WILL LIKELY BE WHERE THE MOST
PRECIP FALLS AND POSSIBLY PTYPE THOUGH ALL MODELS HAVE TEMPERATURE
PROFILES THAT INDICATE RAIN AT THIS POINT.

IF ALL THIS COMES TOGETHER...WE WILL BE LOOKING AT THE POTENTIAL FOR
HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING...ESPECIALLY AFTER THE RAIN EVENT TUESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY AND THE WARM TEMPERATURES EXPECTED THIS WEEK MELTING
SNOW.

SUNDAY AND MONDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN AGAIN AND COLDER...DRIER
WEATHER IS LIKELY.
