AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
710 AM EST SAT JAN 26 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLIDE EAST INTO NEW ENGLAND TODAY. LOW PRESSURE
WILL DEVELOP OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST...THEN WILL STALL SOUTH OF
NEW ENGLAND AS IT STRENGTHENS INTO A LARGE OCEAN STORM LATE SUNDAY
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. HOW MUCH OF AN INFLUENCE THIS STORM WILL GIVE
THE REGION WILL BE DETERMINED BY BLOCKING HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
CANADIAN MARITIMES. AT THIS POINT...THE LOW MAY SLIDE EAST DURING
TUESDAY...THEN A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE SLIDES ACROSS SNE TODAY WITH CENTER OF SFC HIGH
SETTING UP TO THE NE BY EVENING. THIS IS NOT A CLEAN HIGH AS CLOUDS
ALREADY STREAMING INTO REGION.  CLOUDS WILL BE OF THE HIGH VARIETY
INTO EARLY AFTERNOON SO EXPECT PT-MOSUNNY SKIES THIS MORNING...THEN
GRADUALLY LOWERING CIGS FROM SW TO NE LATER TODAY PER RH TIME
SECTIONS.  WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT UNDER SFC RIDGE AND ANOTHER
CHILLY DAY WITH TEMPS 30-35 COASTAL PLAIN AND UPPER 20S NW HIGHER
TERRAIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
MID LEVEL TROF WILL AMPLIFY AS IT MOVES EAST FROM THE GREAT LAKES
TONIGHT INDUCING CYCLOGENESIS OFF THE NC COAST.  GFS SHOWING GOOD
LIFT DEVELOPING ACROSS SNE LATE TONIGHT AND MAXIMIZING AROUND 12Z
SUN IN ADVANCE OF THE MID LEVEL TROF.  CROSS SECTIONS SHOW GOOD SNOW
GROWTH PROFILES FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS CENTERED AROUND 12Z AND GFS/SREF
MEAN HAVE UP TO 0.10 QPF SO WE THINK THERE WILL BE A PERIOD OF
LIGHT SNOW LATE TONIGHT INTO SUN MORNING WITH MINOR ACCUM POSSIBLE.
WE RAISED GUIDANCE POPS TONIGHT BUT WE MAY NEED TO GO HIGHER IF SAME
SIGNAL EXISTS IN 12Z MODEL RUNS.

MID LEVEL TROF EVOLVES INTO TO A CLOSED LOW OFF THE MID ATLC COAST
AS OCEAN STORM DEEPENS SOUTH OF THE BENCHMARK.  WE FOLLOWED GFS
SOLUTION WHICH TAKES LOW NORTH TO 37N BY 00Z MON AND THIS HAS
SUPPORT OF SREF MEAN AND ENSEMBLE MEMBERS...BUT WE NOTE THAT
ECMWF/UKMET/GGEM ARE FURTHER NORTH SO CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH. WE DID
NOT CONSIDER THE NAM.

ANY SNOW SHOULD TAPER OFF BY MIDDAY SUN AS DRYING OCCURS IN SNOW
GROWTH REGION.  THEN THE QUESTION BECOMES HOW FAR NORTH DOES PRECIP
GET ASSOCD WITH OCEAN STORM BY LATE SUN.  FURTHER NORTH
UKMET/ECMWF/GGEM SOLUTIONS BRING LEADING EDGE TO CAPE/ISLANDS BY 00Z
MON WHILE GFS KEEPS IT SOUTH.  LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY SO WE JUST KEPT
CHC SNOW ALONG THE COAST TO THE I95 CORRIDOR AT 00Z MON.

NE WINDS WILL INCREASE DURING THE AFTERNOON ALONG THE COAST WITH
POSSIBLE WIND ADVSY CRITERIA BY LATE SUN AT ACK AS DELTA P BETWEEN
HIGH TO THE NORTH AND THE OCEAN STORM REACHES 40 MB BY 00Z MON.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
POTENTIAL CONTINUES FOR A LARGE OCEAN STORM DEVELOPING OFF THE SE
COAST OF NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS STILL SHOWING DIFFERENCES...BUT NOT AS MUCH
SPREAD AS A FEW DAYS AGO.  APPEARS THAT THE INTERNATIONAL MODELS
/ECMWF...GGEM AND UKMET NAMELY/ CONTINUE TO CREEP THE NORTHERN
FRINGE OF THE LARGE OCEAN STORM TOWARD THE EASTERN COAST OF
MASSACHUSETTS. NOT QUITE AS MUCH ON THE GFS. THE MOST ROBUST MODEL
THIS MORNING WAS THE 00Z GGEM...WHICH BROUGHT IN A WHOLE LOT OF
PRECIP. WENT ALONG WITH THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. DID EXTEND CHANCE
POPS FURTHER W MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT...AND ALSO HAD A BIT MORE OF
A MIX OR CHANGE TO RAIN WITH MARITIME AIR ROTATING AROUND THE STORM
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.

HOWEVER...THE BIG QUESTION IS STILL IN PLACE...HOW MUCH SNOW WILL
ULTIMATELY FALL FROM THIS SYSTEM.  AT THIS POINT...KEPT THIS A LIGHT
EVENT...WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF INCHES AT MOST...MAINLY DUE TO LESS
FLUFF FACTOR ALONG THE COAST AND NOT AS MUCH QPF INLAND.
HOWEVER...THIS COULD CHANGE IF MORE MODELS COME ON BOARD PUSHING THE
QPF SHIELD CLOSER TO THE REGION. WILL BE MONITORING THIS POTENTIAL
CLOSELY.

THE MORE LIKELY FACTOR THAT WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS WILL BE THE WIND.
GFS MOS GUIDANCE SUGGESTED THAT WINDS WOULD REACH AT LEAST WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF
HIGH WIND WARNINGS FOR NANTUCKET AND MAYBE THE OUTER CAPE ON MONDAY.
CONSIDERING THE WIND SHIELD OF THIS STORM AND HOW IT WAS HANDLED BY
INDIVIDUAL MODELS...WENT A BIT /JUST A BIT/ MORE MODEST THAN
SUGGESTED THE MOS GUIDANCE...THOUGH DID KEEP GUSTS 40-45 KTS JUST
EAST OF THE CAPE AND NANTUCKET INTO MONDAY EVENING. WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED TO SEE HIGHER WINDS IF THIS STORM REALLY GETS CRANKING AND
THE HIGH TO THE NORTH IS STRONGER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.

WILL STILL HAVE SEAS ON THE ORDER OF 10-18 FEET WELL OFFSHORE WHICH
WILL WORK INTO THE COAST ON THE STRONG NE WINDS. THIS WILL CAUSE
HIGH SURF AND BEACH EROSION.  WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE HIGHER
SEAS DUE TO THE LONG NE FETCH AND STRONG WINDS. LUCKILY...NOT IN AN
ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH TIDE CYCLE...BUT COULD SEE SPLASH OVER OR EVEN A
BIT OF MINOR COASTAL FLOODING AROUND HIGH TIDE TIMES ON MONDAY.

AT THIS POINT...APPEARED THAT THE GFS AND ECMWF REMAINED CONSISTENT
IN BREAKING DOWN AND PUSHING THE OCEAN LOW OFFSHORE SOMETIME
TUESDAY...THOUGH TIMING IS STILL IN QUESTION. THE NEXT FEATURE WILL
WORK OUT OF THE MIDWEST FOR TUESDAY NIGHT OR WEDNESDAY IN THE FORM
OF A COLD FRONT THAT SWEEPS THROUGH. THE GFS MODEL OVER THE LAST FEW
DAYS HAS BEEN SIGNALING A PRETTY STRONG S-SW LOW LEVEL JET AHEAD OF
THIS FRONT...AS WELL AS A STRONG W WIND BEHIND THE FRONT. WITH THE
WAA PATTERN AHEAD OF THE FRONT ON THE STRONG S-SW WIND...INCREASED
THE OVERNIGHT LOWS BY SEVERAL DEGREES OVER GUIDANCE. KEPT CHANCE
POPS WITH THIS FEATURE...BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE LIKELY
POPS ON LATER FORECASTS IF THE TIMING AND QPF FIELD CONTINUES TO BE
CONSISTENT FOR THE TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY MORNING TIMEFRAME.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD S OF THE REGION FOR FROM LATER WEDNESDAY
THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY NIGHT. WITH A GENERAL WEST FLOW...EXPECT
TEMPS TO RUN CLOSE TO NORMAL FOR THIS PERIOD...THOUGH A BIT CHILLY
AT NIGHT ACROSS INLAND AREAS.

THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL APPROACH FROM THE SW LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND
FRIDAY. MODELS CONTINUE TO BE CONSISTENT IN BRINGING LOW PRESSURE
OUT OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY NORTHEASTWARD. MAY SEE THE START
OF OVERRUNNING PRECIP AS THE HIGH PUSHES OUT LATE THURSDAY NIGHT. AS
THIS LOW MOVES NE...AFTER AN INITIAL PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW...EXPECT
MIXED PRECIP ACROSS THE REGION...WITH RAIN MAINLY ON THE SOUTH
COAST...CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS. EXPECT BULK OF THE PRECIP ON
FRIDAY AS LOW PRESSURE PASSES ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. STILL A
FEW TIMING ISSUES WITH THE LOW PASSAGE...BUT AT THIS POINT EXPECT IT
TO MOVE OFF FRIDAY NIGHT. QUESTION AT THIS POINT WILL BE TEMPS. THIS
WILL DEPEND UPON WHERE THE LOW MOVES ACROSS. LEANED TOWARD MOS
GUIDANCE...THOUGH IT MAY BE TOO LOW ESPECIALLY FRIDAY NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /11Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
TODAY...VFR WITH INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS GRADUALLY LOWERING DURING THE
AFTERNOON FROM SW TO NE.

TONIGHT...VFR TO START BUT CONDITIONS LOWERING TO MVFR AFTER MIDNIGHT
AS SOME LIGHT SNOW DEVELOPS.

SUNDAY...AREAS OF MVFR/IFR IN LIGHT SNOW...ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING.
PRECIP WILL FOCUS SOUTH OF THE COAST IN THE AFTERNOON AND MAY LIFT
NORTH ALONG THE SOUTH COAST LATE IN THE DAY AS OCEAN STORM
INTENSIFIES TO THE SOUTH. INCREASING NE WIND ALONG THE COAST IN THE
AFTERNOON WITH G35 KTS POSSIBLE AT ACK LATE DAY.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
SUNDAY NIGHT...WESTERN AREAS EXPECTED TO BE MAINLY VFR. FURTHER
EAST...WILL PROBABLY SEE VFR-MVFR CEILINGS. AS FOR VSBYS...COULD SEE
MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS IN LIGHT SNOW ALONG THE EAST COAST...SE MA.
LOWEST CONDITIONS LIKELY ON CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS WITH PERIODS OF
IFR CEILINGS AND VSBYS. WILL ALSO LIKELY SEE LLWS AT KACK AND KHYA.

MONDAY...CEILINGS MAY LOWER TO MVFR EVEN AS FAR WEST AS THE
CONNECTICUT VALLEY /KBAF AND KBDL TAF SITES/. FOR THE
EAST...MVFR-IFR CEILINGS AND VSBYS IN SNOW. MAY SEE MIX ALONG THE
COAST. NE WIND GUSTS UP TO 40-45 KTS POSSIBLE ALONG THE COAST
ESPECIALLY CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS.

MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...ANY PRECIP SHOULD CHANGE OVER TO RAIN
BEFORE ENDING FROM W-E ON TUESDAY. GENERAL MVFR CEILINGS AND PERIODS
OF MVFR-IFR VSBYS...WITH LOWEST CONDITIONS ALONG THE EAST COAST
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING.

TUESDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY...NEXT FRONT APPROACHES WITH MVFR-IFR
CEILINGS AND VSBYS. MAY SEE MIXED PRECIP /FZRA/ ACROSS INLAND AREAS
TUESDAY NIGHT. EXPECT PRECIP TO CHANGE TO SNOW BEFORE ENDING ON
WEDNESDAY. S-SW WINDS MAY BE GUSTY /UP TO 30 KTS OR SO/ TUESDAY
NIGHT...THEN BRIEFLY GUSTY AS THE FRONT PUSHES OFF THE COAST WED
SHIFTING WINDS TO WEST.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...WINDS DIMINISH AND BECOME LIGHT TODAY AS HIGH PRES
MOVES ACROSS NEW ENGLAND. STILL SOME GUSTY NW WINDS EARLY THIS
MORNING ACROSS EASTERN WATERS WHERE SCA WILL CONTINUE TIL 10Z.

EASTERLY WINDS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE LATE TONIGHT...WITH GALE
FORCE NE WINDS DEVELOPING ACROSS SOUTHERN WATERS BY LATE SUN.  SEAS
BUILDING TO 8-10 FT BY LATE SUN OVER WATERS SOUTH AND EAST OF
ACK.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...WINDS WILL INCREASE TO STRONG GALES
WITH THE POTENTIAL OF STORM FORCE GUSTS FOR SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.
EXPECT HIGHEST WINDS EAST AND SOUTH OF CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET. SEAS
WILL BUILD UP TO 12-20 FEET.

MONDAY NIGHT...WINDS WILL SHIFT TO NORTH BUT WILL REMAIN AT GALE
FORCE. SEAS WILL REMAIN HIGH...UP TO 18 FEET...BUT NOT QUITE NORMAL
TO THE COAST SO LESS OF A THREAT FOR COASTAL CONCERNS.

TUESDAY...WINDS WILL SHIFT TO NW AND BEGIN TO DIMINISH. SEAS WILL
SLOWLY SUBSIDE...BUT REMAIN ABOVE 10 FEET WELL OFFSHORE.

TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...WILL SEE SMALL CRAFT WIND CONDITIONS
AS WINDS BECOME S-SW AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. CURRENT
FORECASTS SUGGEST THAT THE FRONT WILL PUSH OFF THE COAST WEDNESDAY
MORNING. ANOTHER QUICK SURGE OF COLDER AIR ON WESTERLY WINDS COULD
PUSH WIND GUSTS TO GALE FORCE FOR A TIME ON WEDNESDAY.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDAL CYCLE THIS WEEKEND IS ON THE DOWNSWING AFTER A FULL MOON
EARLIER THIS WEEK. HOWEVER...WILL STILL SEE HIGH SURF AND BEACH
EROSION WITH VERY STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS OFFSHORE AND THE LONG
ONSHORE FETCH BUILDING THE SEAS. MODELS SUGGEST THAT THERE COULD
BE A 1 TO 2 FOOT SURGE AT THE HIGH TIDE TIMES ON MONDAY. MAY SEE
SPLASHOVER OR EVEN SOME MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ON EAST FACING
BEACHES ESPECIALLY ON OUTER CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET. WILL CONTINUE
TO MONITOR THIS POTENTIAL.
