AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
314 AM EST SAT DEC 6 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL BE ENTERING AN ACTIVE PERIOD OF WEATHER
STARTING TONIGHT. LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OFFSHORE TONIGHT AND
SUNDAY AND LIKELY DELIVER LIGHT MEASURABLE SNOW AND RAIN. VERY COLD
AND WINDY FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW. POTENTIALLY
POTENT COLD FRONT WILL LIKELY AFFECT THE REGION MIDWEEK WITH RAIN AND
WIND. THEREAFTER THE PATTERN IS MORE UNCLEAR...BUT IT/S POSSIBLE THAT
ANOTHER STORM COULD AFFECT THE REGION NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A COLD BUT DRY DAY IS ON TAP FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  SKIES SHOULD
START OFF MOSTLY SUNNY...BUT WE EXPECTED THEM TO BECOME PARTLY TO
EVEN MOSTLY CLOUDY DURING THE AFTERNOON.  THIS IN RESPONSE TO AN
INCREASE IN MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS FROM THE WEST OUT AHEAD OF
AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE/COLD FRONT.  WE ALSO WILL LIKELY SEE MORE
DIURNAL CUMULUS CLOUDS WHICH IS SHOW QUITE NICELY ON THE GFS/NAM 850
MB RELATIVE HUMIDITY FORECASTS.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL AVERAGE A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR.  GENERALLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S ACROSS THE INTERIOR
AND AROUND 40 ON THE COASTAL PLAIN.

&&

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

***WE GENERALLY EXPECT ONE HALF TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW VERY LATE
TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY ACROSS A GOOD CHUNK OF THE REGION.
HOWEVER...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A NARROW BAND OF 2 TO 4 INCHES
ACROSS PARTS OF EASTERN MA BUT CONFIDENCE ON THIS REMAINS LOW
BECAUSE OF INITIALLY WARM BOUNDARY LAYER ISSUES ON THE COAST AND HOW
FAR WEST THE MAIN PRECIPITATION SHIELD WILL MAKE IT.***

TONIGHT...
A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BE TRACKING NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES.  MEANWHILE...A SECONDARY COASTAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL DEVELOP OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST.  HOWEVER...IT APPEARS TO BE
THE ACTUAL UPPER LEVEL TROUGH INDUCING MID LEVEL LIFT THAT SHOULD
ALLOW PRECIPITATION TO DEVELOP LATE AND OVERSPREAD THE REGION FROM
SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST.  IT GENERALLY LOOKS LIKE A SEVERAL HOUR BAND
OF SNOW SHOWERS TRACKING FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST WITH A BAND OF
MID LEVEL LIFT.  SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT MOST LOCATIONS AWAY FROM
THE IMMEDIATE COAST WILL SEE PRECIPITATION IN THE FORM OF SNOW.
ACROSS THE IMMEDIATE EASTERN MA INCLUDING THE BOSTON AREA...IT WILL
BE A CLOSE CALL...BUT BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURES MAY BE WARM ENOUGH
FOR THE PRECIPITATION TO BEGIN AS RAIN SHOWERS.  HOWEVER...PROBABLY
WILL SEE THIS AREA TURN OVER TO SNOW SHOWERS REGARDLESS AS MID
LEVELS ARE FAIRLY COLD AND THERE DOES NOT LOOK TO BE PERSISTENT
MARINE FLOW TO CONTINUE TO WARM THE BOUNDARY LAYER.  ACROSS FAR
SOUTHEAST MA/CAPE/ISLANDS BOUNDARY LAYER SHOULD BE WARM ENOUGH TO
SUPPORT MAINLY RAIN SHOWERS.

SUNDAY...
COASTAL LOW PRESSURE WILL BE BOMBING OUT WELL EAST OF OUR REGION.
AT THIS POINT...THIS APPEARS TO OCCUR TOO LATE AND TOO FAR EAST TO
BRING A HUGE SNOWSTORM TO OUR REGION.  HOWEVER...MODELS ARE
INDICATING AN INVERTED TROUGH WHICH COULD BRING SOME ENHANCEMENT TO
EASTERN MA PARTICULARLY IN ESSEX COUNTY.

CONFIDENCE IS STILL NOT THAT HIGH BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME BOUNDARY
LAYER ISSUES ALONG THE COAST AND INVERTED TROUGHS ARE ALWAYS TRICKY
TO FORECAST.  THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO IS FOR ONE HALF TO 2 INCHES
OF SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION WITH INSTABILITY SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS.
HOWEVER...THE POTENTIAL FOR A NARROW BAND OF 2 TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW
EXISTS ACROSS PARTS OF EASTERN AND PARTICULARLY NORTHEAST MA.  THIS
POSSIBLY COULD EXTEND INTO THE WORCESTER AND RHODE ISLAND HILLS IF
PRECIPITATION SHIELD MAKES IT AS FAR WEST AT THE 00Z ECMWF...BUT
THAT MIGHT BE A BIT TOO FAR WEST BASED ON MODEL CONSENSUS.  THE
HEAVIEST QPF ALMOST CERTAINLY LOOKS TO FALL ALONG THE COAST WHERE
THE 00Z GFS/ECMWF HAS MEAN QPF OF AROUND 0.30 INCHES.
HOWEVER...THERE ARE BOUNDARY LAYER ISSUES INITIALLY IN THIS REGION
WHERE THE HILLIER TERRAIN JUST TOO THE WEST WILL NOT HAVE THOSE
PROBLEMS...BUT MAY NOT HAVE ENOUGH QPF.

ALL IN ALL...WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR A NARROW STRIPE OF 2 TO 4
INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE REGION.  CONFIDENCE
TOO LOW FOR ANY LATE 2ND OR 3RD PERIOD ADVISORIES.  THIS IS AGAIN
BECAUSE OF MARGINAL BOUNDARY LAYER ON THE COAST AND DECREASING QPF
JUST INLAND.  IT COULD END UP THAT THE MOST SNOW FALL ABOUT 10 TO 20
MILES INLAND FROM THE COAST IN NORTHEAST MA...BUT WE WILL HAVE TO SEE.

IN ADDITION...STRONG COLD ADVECTION DEVELOPING IN THE AFTERNOON WILL
PROMOTE GOOD MIXING SO IT WILL BECOME WINDY BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON
WITH NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH.  WE COULD EVEN APPROACH MARGINAL
WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA ACROSS THE WORCESTER AND BLUE HILLS/THE OUTER
CAPE AND NANTUCKET.  HIGHS WILL MAINLY BE IN THE 30S...BUT
INCREASING WIND IN THE AFTERNOON WILL BRING WIND CHILLS WELL DOWN
INTO THE 20S ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO ROCKET NORTHWARD THROUGH THE
CANADIAN MARITIMES SUNDAY NIGHT. VERY COLD AIR WILL BE DRAWN
SOUTHWARD INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW. STRONG
WINDS WILL ALSO OCCUR...SO WIND CHILL VALUES STILL LOOKING GOOD AT -5
TO +5F. MAY HAVE A SOME SNOW SHOWERS IN THE HILLY TERRAIN OF THE FAR
INTERIOR EARLY ON. CONTINUED THE TREND FROM DAYSHIFT TO TAKE A BLEND
OF MODEL 2M TEMPS AND MOS TO DERIVE MINS. POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR WIND
ADVISORY FOR PORTIONS OF THE REGION SUNDAY EVENING. COLD

MONDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN WHICH WILL RESULT IN DIMINISHING
WINDS AS THE DAY PROGRESSES...BUT GETTING OUT EARLY IN THE MORNING
WILL BE QUITE FRIGID WITH WIND CHILL VALUES AROUND ZERO. MAX TEMPS
AROUND 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. WENT WITH A BLEND OF MOS GUIDANCE AND
NAM 2M TEMPS TO DERIVE MAXES. IT/LL BE COLD WITH HIGHS STRUGGLING TO
REACH 30.

WARM AIR ADVECTION STARTS IN EARNEST LATER MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY.
INCREASING CLOUDS AND WARMING TEMPS TO RESULT. NOT QUITE SURE ON
COVERAGE OF ANY WAA PRECIP...GFS IS MOST ROBUST...ECMWF IS MAINLY
NORTH. HOWEVER...A CHANCE FOR SOME FROZEN PRECIP EXISTS DURING THE
DAY ACROSS THE INTERIOR AS THE COLD AIRMASS WILL BE HARD TO SCOUR OUT
DESPITE INCREASING SOUTHERLY BL FLOW. LIGHT RAIN POSSIBLE ELSEWHERE
BUT COULD START OUT AS SOME LIGHT SNOW/SLEET.

GFS AND ECMWF DIFFER A BIT ON APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE AND ATTENDANT
COLD FRONT FOR LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WED...BUT THE GENERAL THEME IS
THE SAME. SOUTHERLY FLOW REALLY INCREASES TUESDAY NIGHT AND TEMPS
WARM. KEPT MINS ABOVE MOS...AND ABOVE FREEZING. IT/LL PROBABLY BE
WARMER THAN FORECAST ESPECIALLY IF SOUTHERLY LLJ IS AS STRONG AS
CURRENTLY PROGGED. WENT WITH LIKELY POPS FOR ALL RAIN.

STRONG COLD FRONT CROSSES NEW ENGLAND ON WEDNESDAY. REALLY STRONG LLJ
REMAINS PROGGED...WHICH WILL PUMP RELATIVELY HIGH THETA-E VALUES
NORTHWARD. WILL PROBABLY SEE SOME THUNDER AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS IF THE
CURRENT MODEL CONSENSUS HOLDS. STRONG LOW LEVEL JET REMAINS A BIG
CONCERN...ESPECIALLY ON THE GFS WHICH HAS 80-100 KT BETWEEN 2 AND 5
KFT. WIDESPREAD WIND EVENT WOULD LIKELY OCCUR IF GFS HOLDS...BUT
THERE IS A LOT OF TIME BEFORE WEDNESDAY AND THEREFORE THE GUIDANCE
COULD CERTAINLY BACK OFF.

THEREAFTER...MODELS HAVE TRENDED A BIT MORE QUIET...BUT SOME
POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SOME LOW PRESSURE WAVE DEVELOPMENT SOUTH OF NEW
ENGLAND THAT COULD AFFECT THE AREA LATE WEEK/WEEKEND.

.AVIATION /08Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

TODAY...VFR DESPITE A GRADUAL INCREASE IN MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS
ALONG WITH SCATTERED DIURNAL CUMULUS CLOUDS.

TONIGHT...VFR IN THE EVENING SHOULD GIVEWAY TO MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS
LATE IN THE EVENING ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND REACHING THE COASTAL
PLAIN TOWARD MORNING.  PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL MAINLY BE IN THE FORM
OF SNOW SHOWERS...EXCEPT ON THE IMMEDIATE COAST WHERE IT MAY BEGIN
AS RAIN SHOWERS.

SUNDAY...MAINLY MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN SCATTERED SNOW
SHOWERS...BUT PROBABLY WILL SEE IFR CONDITIONS IN BANDS OF HEAVIER
SNOW SHOWERS PARTICULARLY ALONG THE EASTERN MA COAST.  IN ADDITION...35
KNOT NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS WILL DEVELOP IN THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON
UNDER STRONG COLD ADVECTION.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

VFR SUNDAY NIGHT...BUT STRONG NW WINDS POTENTIALLY GUSTS AROUND 40 KT
DURING THE NIGHT INTO MON MORNING.

MONDAY...VFR AND DIMINISHING WINDS AS HIPRES BUILDS IN.

TUESDAY...VFR TO START THEN PROBABLY GOING TO MVFR DURING THE DAY AS
LIGHT WARM AIR ADVECTION PRECIP GETS GOING. CHANCE OF SOME FROZEN
PRECIP INTERIOR TERMINALS.

TUESDAY NIGHT...INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW WITH MVFR CONDS LIKELY
DETERIORATING TO IFR.

WEDNESDAY...IFR HEAVY SHOWERS WITH LLWS. STRONG SOUTHERLY WIND GUSTS
POSSIBLE AT THE SFC. ISOLD THUNDER NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION.

.MARINE...

TODAY AND TONIGHT...RATHER QUIET ON THE WATERS WITH SUSTAINED WINDS
BECOMING SOUTHEAST AT 5 TO 15 KNOTS AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES
OFFSHORE.  SEAS SHOULD REMAIN IN THE 1 TO 3 FOOT RANGE.

SUNDAY...LOW PRESSURE WILL BOMB OUT WELL EAST OF THE WATERS.  RAPID
DECREASE IN PRESSURE AND STRONG COLD ADVECTION WILL BRING GALE FORCE
NORTHWEST WINDS TO THE WATERS BY LATE AFTERNOON.  EVEN THOUGH ITS A LATE 3RD
INTO 4TH PERIOD EVENT...CONFIDENCE IN GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS IS HIGH
SO WILL UPGRADE TO GALE WARNING.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

WNW GALES SUNDAY NIGHT...THEN DIMINISHING MONDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS ACROSS THE WATERS.

TRANQUIL MONDAY NIGHT.
