DRAG ...THIS UPDATES PREVIOUS LATE MORNING INFORMATION...

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
437 AM EST THU DEC 11 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL STALL SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND THIS MORNING. LOW
PRESSURE FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL MOVE UP THE FRONT TODAY AND
TONIGHT...PASSING ACROSS RI AND EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS FRIDAY MORNING.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE NORTHEAST USA DURING SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION ON TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL NOON TODAY/...
SURGES OF RAIN MOVING UP THE FRONT EARLY THIS MORNING...MOST OF THIS
IS CROSSING CT-RI-SOUTHEAST MASS...BUT SHOULD SPREAD NORTH DURING THE
MORNING. THE BEST ISENTROPIC LIFT REMAINS ALONG OR SOUTH OF THE
SOUTHERN COAST AT SUNRISE BUT SPREADS NORTH DURING THE DAY. THIS PLUS
THE RADAR MOSAICS ARE ENOUGH TO BRING POPS UP TO CATEGORICAL DURING
THE MORNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /NOON TODAY THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
A 185 KNOT UPPER JET STRETCHES ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND TODAY AND
WILL GRADUALLY CURL AROUND AND EXTEND ALONG THE NEW YORK BORDER.
EITHER WAY OUR AREA WILL BE IN OR NEAR THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF
THE JET THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. WE WILL ALSO BE IN AN AREA OF
STRONG ISENTROPIC LIFT WITH STRONGEST VALUES AT 290K AND 295K AT 06Z
AND 12Z FRIDAY. SO WE WILL CONTINUE CATEGORICAL POPS THROUGH THE
NIGHT. POPS MAY DIMINISH A LITTLE IN SOUTHEAST MASS IF THE STALLED
FRONT SHIFTS NORTH. FOR NOW WE WILL FOCUS THE BEST LIFT AND RESULTING
QPF OVER CT-RI-SOUTHEAST MASS.

950 MB AGEOSTROPIC FLOW SHOWS DRAINAGE FROM THE NORTH TODAY...SO COLD
LOW LAYER TEMPS SHOULD LINGER IN THE INTERIOR. MEANWHILE 800 MB AND
850 MB TEMPS WILL BE AT 0C OR WARMER THROUGHOUT OUR FORECAST AREA.
THE COLD AIR DRAINAGE WILL WEAKEN THIS EVENING ALLOWING TEMPERATURES
TO SLOWLY RISE DURING THE NIGHT.  SO WE EXPECT INTERIOR SECTIONS TO
HAVE A PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN OR SLEET T0DAY...LINGERING IN
FRANKLIN-CHESHIRE-WESTERN HILLSBOROUGH TONIGHT. OTHER AREAS WILL
EITHER START AS RAIN OR CHANGE TO RAIN BY THIS EVENING.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE SHOULD BE LOCATED VERY CLOSE TO SOUTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING AND MOVING NORTHEAST. HAVE CATEGORICAL POPS
AROUND 12Z...THEN QUICKLY END THE PRECIPITATION BY 18Z FROM WEST TO
EAST. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE PLAIN RAIN...BUT THE FAR
INTERIOR WILL LIKELY STILL BE DEALING WITH SOME FREEZING RAIN. COULD
SEE THE PRECIP END AS SOME LIGHT SNOW/SNOW SHOWERS. PLEASE SEE SHORT
TERM DISCUSSION FOR INFORMATION ON FREEZING RAIN/SLEET POTENTIAL.

DEPENDING ON EXACT LOW TRACK...COULD BE LOOKING AT WIND ADVISORY FOR
PORTIONS OF SE MASS/RI VERY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING ALONG WITH SOME
POTENTIAL FOR THUNDER. HOWEVER...IT/S POSSIBLE THAT LOW TRACKS JUST
TO THE EAST WHICH WOULD PRELUDE HIGH WINDS. NW G30 KT POSSIBLE FRIDAY
BEHIND THE LOW.

HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND LATER FRIDAY
AND LASTS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THIS RESULTS IN A MOSTLY SUNNY
WEEKEND...ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE ABNORMALLY COLD SATURDAY...WITH A WIND
CHILL. MODERATION FOR SUNDAY AS HIGH CRESTS.

MODELS AGREE THAT NEXT WEATHER MAKER COMES IN THE FORM OF A COLD
FRONT LATER MONDAY NIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS.
THINKING THAT SW FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT KEEP TEMPS WARM ENOUGH TO
PRECLUDE FROZEN PRECIP ISSUES.

THEREAFTER...COLDER TEMPS LIKELY...BUT MODEL DISAGREEMENT MIDWEEK WITH
RESPECT TO POSITIONING OF POTENTIAL WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE AND
ASSOCIATED PRECIP. KEPT POPS LOW FOR NOW.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
IFR IN LOW CIGS AND RAIN IN THE COASTAL PLAIN...IFR IN LOW CIGS FREEZING
RAIN AND SLEET INLAND. MHT-ORH-BAF WILL BE MOST AT RISK FOR THE
ICING. PRECIPITATION AT THESE THREE SITES SHOULD CHANGE TO RAIN
BY TONIGHT WITH CONTINUED IFR AND LIFR ALL SITES THROUGH THE NIGHT.

A 65-75 KNOT JET MOVES ACROSS THE SOUTH COAST TONIGHT...WITH
POTENTIAL FOR LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AT PVD AND FMH-HYA-ACK.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

IFR EARLY FRIDAY WITH RAIN HEAVY AT TIMES FOR MOST...ALONG WITH SOME
LINGERING ICING ACROSS THE FAR INTERIOR. LOW PRESSURE MOVES AWAY
DURING FRIDAY...AND THIS WILL BRING AN END TO THE PRECIP AND IFR
CONDITIONS FROM WEST TO EAST AROUND NOON. VFR EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN.

&&

.MARINE...
A GALE WATCH HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO A WARNING FOR MOST OF THE COASTAL
WATERS WITH POTENTIAL OF 40 KNOT WINDS TONIGHT. WINDS ACROSS BLOCK
ISLAND SOUND...NARRAGANSETT BAY...AND BOSTON HARBOR LOOK LIGHTER FOR
THIS PERIOD...SO A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL COVER THESE AREAS.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

LOW PRESSURE WILL LIKELY BE LOCATED NEAR SOUTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING AND WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE AWAY. SOUTHERLY WIND
FLOW BECOMES WESTERLY DURING THE MORNING. SOME POTENTIAL FOR LOW END
GALES IN SOUTHERLY FLOW EARLY MORNING DEPENDING ON LOW TRACK...AND
SOLID SCA CONDITIONS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT...LINGERING INTO
SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS ACROSS THE WATERS SATURDAY NIGHT
AND SUNDAY RESULTING IN RAPIDLY SUBSIDING WINDS AND SEAS WHICH SHOULD
CONTINUE INTO MONDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
A FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR CT-RI-EASTERN MASS. A PLUME OF 1.5 INCH
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS RI-EASTERN MASS
AND ADJACENT CT. THIS MOISTURE ALONG WITH STRONG LIFT SHOULD PRODUCE
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...WITH AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES TODAY AND
TONIGHT AND ADDITIONAL POSSIBLE FRIDAY. ONE HOUR FLASH FLOOD VALUES
ARE AT 1.5 TO 3.0 INCHES...6 HOUR VALUES ARE 2.5 TO 4.0 INCHES. SO A
FLOODING POTENTIAL CONTINUES ESPECIALLY FOR URBAN AND SMALL STREAM
SETTINGS. OF THE MAIN STEM RIVERS...THE PAWTUXET IS A CONCERN AND
OTHERS EAST OF WORCESTER WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED.
