AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
435 AM EST TUE DEC 9 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
LARGE HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OFF THE COAST LATE TONIGHT FOLLOWED BY
AN INCREASING SOUTHWEST FLOW OF MILDER AIR FOR TUE THROUGH WED.
STRONG WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN WILL LIKELY PRECEDE A STRONG COLD FRONT
ON WED. THE COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION WED NIGHT. THE LATE WEEK
FORECAST IS MORE UNCERTAIN...BUT IT IS POSSIBLE ANOTHER STORM COULD
AFFECT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SOMETIME THU INTO FRI. HIGH PRESSURE MAY
RETURN FOR NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
WARM AIR ADVECTION LIGHT SNOW HAS SPRUNG FROM LOW TO MID CLOUD DECK
ACROSS PARTS OF WESTERN CT AND WESTERN MA. AT 345 AM...NORTH ADAMS IN
THE BERKSHIRES HAD 2 MILE VSBY IN SNOW. BRIDGEPORT CT ALSO HAD SOME
FLURRIES. SOME PATCHY AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW AND FLURRIES WILL BE IN THE
AIR ACROSS MAINLY THE WESTERN HALF OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND
SOUTHERN NH THROUGH MID MORNING...THEN THE AREA WILL SHIFT OFF TO
THE NORTH AND EAST INTO MAINE. A THIN DUSTING IS POSSIBLE IN SW NH
AND FAR NW MA.

OTHERWISE THE BIG STORY IS THE RETURN FLOW AROUND STRONG 1040 MB HIGH
PRESSURE OFF TO OUR EAST THIS AFTERNOON AND AN ELONGATED LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE APPALACHIANS TONIGHT. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE TO 50-60 KNOTS AT 925 MB THIS
AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE TO 20-25 MPH WITH HIGHER
GUSTS ALONG THE COAST AND AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS BY MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON.

EVEN WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES...TEMPERATURES WILL WARM UP TO 35 TO 40 IN
SOUTHERN NH...40S ELSEWHERE...EXCEPT UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S SOUTHEAST
MA AND COASTAL RI.

LITTLE IN THE WAY OF PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON...BUT
CHANCES OF RAIN SHOWERS WILL INCREASE IN THE WEST LATE IN THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
TONIGHT...
LOW PRES MOVES ACROSS THE ST. LAWRENCE RIVER VALLEY WITH ITS
TRAILING COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS NY STATE. THIS WILL RESULT IN
WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS MUCH OF THE COASTLINE AND PROBABLY AS FAR
WEST AS THE BOSTON-PROVIDENCE CORRIDOR. SSW WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH
ARE LIKELY ACROSS THIS AREA WITH GUSTS TO 40 TO 45 MPH ALONG THE
SOUTH COAST. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL OCCUR AFTER 09Z AND WILL
CONTINUE INTO MUCH OF WED. SINCE THIS IS LATE SECOND PERIOD
CONTINUING INTO THE THIRD PERIOD...WILL HOLD OFF ON A WIND
ADVISORY FOR NOW...BUT A WIND ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED FOR A
PORTION OF THIS AREA LATER TODAY.

SHOWERS WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT. HAVE
GONE WITH CATEGORICAL POPS IN WEST AND CENTRAL AREAS AND LIKELY IN
THE EAST. STRONG SSW WINDS WILL ALSO RESULT IN MILD TEMPS WITH TEMPS
LIKELY RISING WELL INTO THE 50S IN SOUTHEAST MA AND THROUGH THE 40S
ELSEWHERE. AREAS OF FOG ARE LIKELY WITH SOME MELTING SNOW COVER AND
THE HIGHER DEWPOINT AIR ADVECTING IN.

WEDNESDAY...
A SPRINGLIKE STORMY DAY IS IN STORE. SSW WINDS WILL CONTINUE AHEAD OF
THE COLD FRONT WHICH WILL SLOWLY WORK ITS WAY ACROSS THE REGION
DURING THE DAY. WIND ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR A PORTION
OF THE COAST. TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE LOWER 60S OVER EASTERN
MA WITH 50S ELSEWHERE EXCEPT SOME MID 40S IN CHESHIRE COUNTY NH.
RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES...IS IN STORE. HAVE POPS AT NEARLY 100 PERCENT.
MODELS SHOW A BAND OF 33 K INDICES AND 49 TOTAL TOTALS INDICES FROM
RI THRU SE MA LATE WED AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THUS...HAVE INTRODUCED
A CHANCE OF THUNDER THERE. THIS COULD BE THE REMNANTS OF QUITE AN
IMPRESSIVE CONVECTIVE CLUSTER CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH MISSOURI AND
ARKANSAS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH OF THE COAST 00-06Z WED NIGHT SO EXPECT RAIN
TO LINGER INTO WED EVENING ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST.

THE FORECAST BEYOND WED NIGHT IS UNCERTAIN AT BEST.  GFS IS MORE
PROGRESSIVE WITH PUSHING FRONT SOUTH OF THE COAST WHILE ECMWF HANGS
UP THE FRONT NEAR THE COAST AS NEXT SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE
QUICKLY APPROACHES FROM THE SW.  MODEL CONSENSUS FAVORS ECMWF
SOLUTION WHICH HAS SUPPORT FROM UKMET AND GGEM SO WE LEANED TOWARD
EC WITH LOW CONFIDENCE.

ECMWF SUGGESTS ANOTHER PERIOD OF OVERRUNNING PRECIP IS POSSIBLE ON
THU NORTH OF THE STALLED BOUNDARY...THEN A MORE SIGNIFICANT PERIOD
OF PRECIP THU NIGHT INTO FRI ASSOCD WITH A COASTAL STORM MOVING UP
THE COAST ALONG THE BOUNDARY.  WE WILL HAVE CHC POPS THU INCREASING
TO LIKELY E ZONES THU NIGHT THEN CHC FRI.

PTYPE WILL BE CHALLENGING...BUT IT DOES APPEAR THAT MOST OF
THE PRECIP IN THE COASTAL PLAIN WOULD BE IN THE FORM OF RAIN BASED
ON PARTIAL THICKNESSES...AND ECMWF BRINGS OVER 3 RAFL TO THE
COAST.  FURTHER NORTH...IT BECOMES MORE PROBLEMATIC AND ECMWF
SUGGESTS SOME ICE/SNOW POSSIBLE FAR NW ZONES IN INTO NW MA AND SW
NH.  DETAILS ARE HIGHLY UNCERTAIN AND CONFIDENCE IS LOW SO WE WILL
NOT GET TOO SPECIFIC IN THE FORECAST...BUT SIGNIFICANT WINTRY PRECIP
A POSSIBILITY IN THE DISTANT INTERIOR SOMETIME IN THE THU TO FRI
TIMEFRAME.

LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEKEND...IT LOOKS FAIRLY QUIET AS HIGH PRES
BUILDS INTO THE REGION.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
TODAY...
VFR CONDITIONS WITH BKN-OVC040-050 THIS MORNING EXCEPT
SCATTERED VSBY 5-6SM IN S- WITH LOCAL CIGS OVC030. MVFR CIG LATER
THIS AFTERNOON AROUND 3000 FT. CHANCE OF SHOWERS WITH VSBY NEAR 3 MI
IN WESTERN MA AND WESTERN CT AFTER ABOUT 20Z.

BIG FACTOR WILL BE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR. THIS IS FORECAST AFTER
19Z-21Z...WITH SSW WINDS INCREASING TO 55 KT AT 2000 FT.

TONIGHT...THIS WIND SHEAR WILL CONTINUE WITH SPEEDS INCREASING TO 65
KT AT 2000 FT...ALTHOUGH BY THAT TIME THEY WILL ALSO BE INCREASING AT
THE SURFACE TO 20G30 KT ESPECIALLY FROM BOS-PVD AND POINTS SE. WEAKER
WINDS FARTHER INLAND AT THE SURFACE COULD MEAN MORE OF A TRUE WIND
SHEAR PROBLEM THERE AS OPPOSED TO MECHANICAL TURBULENCE IN THE EAST
LATE TONIGHT. MVFR CIG LOWERING TO IFR CIG WITH VSBY ALSO LOWERING TO
3 MILES OR LESS IN AREAS OF FOG AND RAIN SHOWERS SPREADING FROM W TO
E. MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS ORH FOGGING IN WITH DENSE FOG AND CEILINGS
NEAR 100 FT...THIS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY.

WED... IFR CIG/VSBY IN RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES. CHC TSTMS
PVD/FMH/HYA/ACK LATE IN AFTERNOON. SSW WINDS AROUND 20-30 KT WITH
GUSTS TO 40 KT IN THESE SAME AREAS... LESSER FARTHER N AND W.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...

WED NIGHT...MVFR/IFR CONTINUES WITH RAIN FOCUS SHIFTING TO THE
COAST.  STRONG SW WINDS NEAR THE COAST BECOMING NW.

THU AND FRI...POTENTIAL FOR MVFR/IFR FROM A COASTAL LOW PRESSURE.
CHANCE SNOW/ICE NW MA AND SW NH...BUT MOSTLY RAIN ALONG THE COAST.

SAT...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...STRONG HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE WITH SSW WINDS DEVELOPING AS LOW
PRESSURE APPROACHES THE APPALACHIANS. WIND SPEEDS WILL APPROACH 20-25
KT BY LATE IN THE DAY.

TONIGHT... GALE WARNING IN EFFECT FOR MOST COASTAL ZONES AFTER ABOUT
11 PM. SSW WINDS WILL GUST TO 30 TO 40 KT. SEAS WILL BUILD TO 8 TO
10 FT ON THE OUTER WATERS. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS.

WED...GALE WARNING CONTINUES FOR ALL MARINE ZONES...INCLUDING BOSTON
HARBOR AND NARRAGANSETT BAY. COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS MOST OF SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND. SW WINDS AHEAD OF THIS FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO GUST TO
30 TO 40 KT. RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES...AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS IN
THE LATE AFTERNOON. SEAS COULD CLIMB TO 10 TO 15 FT IN THE WATERS
SOUTH AND EAST OF NEW ENGLAND.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY

WINDS SHIFT TO NW WED NIGHT WITH DIMINISHING SPEEDS...THEN MODEST
NORTHERLY WINDS THU. SEAS SLOWLY SUBSIDE.

ANOTHER PERIOD OF NEAR GALE FORCE N/NE WINDS POSSIBLE LATE THU NIGHT
INTO FRI DEPENDING ON TIMING AND TRACK OF NEXT COASTAL STORM.
DETAILS ARE HIGHLY UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME AND FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS
LOW.
