AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
428 PM EST SAT DEC 20 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
ANOTHER RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING COASTAL STORM WILL TRACK ACROSS EASTERN
NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY...BRINGING A PERIOD OF HEAVY SNOW INLAND AND SNOW
CHANGING TO RAIN ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN. STRONG AND POTENTIALLY
DAMAGING WINDS ALONG WITH BITTERLY COLD WIND CHILLS WILL FOLLOW
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. DRY HIGH PRES PASSES SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND
TUESDAY THEN A WARMER WEATHER SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE REGION
WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
VERY COLD SURFACE AIR REMAINS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WITH A
PERSISTENT NORTH TO NORTHEAST WIND TO MAINTAIN IT. MID LEVEL SEEDING
LEADING TO CONTINUING LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS MOST OF EASTERN
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. NOT EXPECTING MUCH OF A BREAK BETWEEN THESE
SNOW SHOWERS...AND THE ARRIVAL OF THE MORE SIGNIFICANT SNOW LATE
TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
A SIGNIFICANT LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OFF THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST AND HUG THE COASTLINE AS IT MOVES NORTH INTO THE GULF
OF MAINE. THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS LOW PRESSURE IS NOT YET KNOWN
PRECISELY...AND WILL BE A HUGE FACTOR IN DETERMINING PRECIPITATION TYPE.

HAVE TRENDED THE FORECAST COLDER...WITH MORE SNOWFALL ACROSS THE
COASTAL PLAIN. A STRONG NORTH AGEOSTROPHIC WIND...THE EXISTING
DEEP...FRESH SNOWPACK AND CLOUD COVER WILL ALL HELP TO MAINTAIN A
STRONGER SURFACE COLD POOL. THINKING IS THE 20/12Z MODELS ARE
BRINGING TOO MUCH WARM AIR NORTH INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY.
ANOTHER NOTABLE TREND IS AN EASTWARD SHIFT IN THE CONSENSUS LOW
PRESSURE TRACK SUNDAY AFTERNOON FROM THE 20/00Z MODELS TO THE 20/18Z
MODEL SUITE. THE CURRENT FORECAST TRACK TAKES THIS LOW PRESSURE JUST
SOUTHEAST OF I-95 IN MA AND RI SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

BASED ON COLLABORATION WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES...HAVE ISSUED A
WINTER STORM WARNING WHERE CONFIDENCE IS HIGHEST ACROSS INTERIOR
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY HAS BEEN POSTED FOR
NORTHERN CT...NORTHWEST RI AS WELL AS THE NORTH SHORE. WE MAY NEED TO
SHIFT THIS WARNING SLIGHTLY SOUTH AND EAST DEPENDING UPON FUTURE
INDICATIONS. THE NORTHERN PORTION OF HARTFORD...TOLLAND AND WINDHAM
COUNTIES IN CT...AS WELL AS THE HILLS OF NORTHWEST RI ARE JUST ON THE
BORDER OF BEING INCLUDED IN THE WARNING. A COLDER OR WETTER SOLUTION
WOULD PUSH THEM OVER MORE SOLIDLY INTO WARNING CRITERIA SNOWFALL.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...

SUNDAY NIGHT...

SHORT WAVE MERGER/PHASING OCCURS SUNDAY EVENING OVER MAINE WITH
EXPLOSIVE CYCLOGENESIS AS SURFACE LOW BOMBS DOWN INTO THE 960S
VERY COLD AIR ADVECTS ACROSS THE REGION...WITH ANY SLUSH /PROBABLY
BOS-PVD CORRIDOR AND PTS SOUTH/ TRANSITIONING TO A RAPID FREEZE...AS
TEMPS PLUMMET INTO THE TEENS. THEREFORE...SNOW REMOVAL WILL NEED TO
BE COMPLETED SHORTLY AFTER THE ACCUMULATING SNOW ENDS. AS PREVIOUS
SHIFTS INDICATED...2 METER TEMPS FROM NAM AND GFS PICKING UP ON THIS
MUCH BETTER THAN MOS.

THE OTHER HAZARD SUN NIGHT WILL BE VERY STRONG TO DAMAGING STRONG
WINDS BEHIND POWERFUL LOW IN MAINE. STRONG WIND FIELDS/VIGOROUS COLD
AIR ADVECTION AND IMPRESSIVE PRES RISE/FALL COUPLET WILL LIKELY
RESULT IN SOME DOWNED LIMBS AND RESULTING POWER OUTAGES. THE GREATEST
RISK APPEARS TO BE ACROSS THE CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS AS RELATIVELY
WARM WATER TEMPS WILL YIELD DEEPER BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING/TRANSFER.
ALSO...THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE WORCESTER HILLS/BLUE HILLS AND THE
HEAT ISLAND OF BOSTON WILL BE AT A HIGHER RISK.

MONDAY...
DRY WEATHER...BUT BELOW NORMAL COLD WITH STRONG WINDS YIELDING
BITTERLY COLD WIND CHILLS.

MON NIGHT...
A FRIGID NIGHT WITH LOWS RANGING FROM NEAR ZERO IN SW NH AND NW MA
TO THE TEENS ELSEWHERE. AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE MID
ATLANTIC STATES...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
SHOULD WEAKEN WITH GRADUALLY DIMINISHING WINDS. WIND CHILL READINGS
WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM ZERO TO 15 BELOW ZERO.

TUE...
A QUIET DAY IS FORECAST. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OFF THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST WILL STILL INFLUENCE THE WEATHER WITH MOSTLY SUNNY
SKIES AND HIGHS IN THE MID 20S TO LOWER 30S.

TUE NIGHT THROUGH FRI...HAVE CHRISTMAS EVE PRECIPITATION EVENT AND
THEN POSSIBLY ANOTHER BEGINNING LATE FRIDAY. OPERATIONAL RUNS OF GFS
AND ECMWF SUGGEST SURFACE LOW PASSING N OF US...AND THUS WARM
SYSTEMS. HOWEVER...MOST GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS APPEAR SLOWER AND
FURTHER S THAN OPERATIONAL RUN. GEM DEPICTS SYSTEM DEEPER AND FURTHER
S AND IN FACT FAR ENOUGH S THAT FAR NW ZONES MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE OF
STAYING LOCKED IN LOW LEVEL COLD AIR FOR MOST IF NOT ALL OF EVENT. LOOKS
LIKE RAIN COASTAL PLAIN AND SNOW OR MIXED PCPN TO RAIN INTERIOR WITH
PROBABLY MINOR AMOUNTS OF FROZEN OR FREEZING PCPN. THE EVENT IS FAR
OUT AND GIVEN ENSEMBLE SPREAD...CONFIDENCE IS RELATIVELY LOW.

SEE WHAT LOOKS TO BE SIGNAL OF STRONG COLD FRONT PASSAGE EARLY
CHRISTMAS MORNING AND MIGHT NOT RULE OUT SCATTERED SNOW SQUALLS WITH
THIS FEATURE GIVEN SHARPNESS OF SURFACE CONVERGENCE ALONG FRONT AND
TIGHTNESS OF LEADING THERMAL GRADIENT. IF NOTHING ELSE...MAY SEE
FAIRLY DRAMATIC TEMPERATURE DROP. JUST TOO FAR OUT...HOWEVER...TO BE
ABLE TO RESOLVE ANY DETAILS AT ALL.

THE EVENT FOR THE START OF NEXT WEEKEND ALSO LOOKS MORE LIKE LIQUID
BUT AGAIN CONFIDENCE IS LOW GIVEN HOW FAR OUT THIS SYSTEM IS.

FOR TEMPS...BLENDED GMOS WITH OFFICIAL EXCEPT WARMED TEMPS DURING
WED NIGHT GIVEN WHAT LOOKS TO BE DEEP SW FLOW THROUGHOUT REGION.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
NORTH TO NORTHEAST SURFACE FLOW CONTINUES TO BRING OCEAN GENERATED
LIGHT SNOW TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THIS SNOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON...THEN DIMINISH THIS EVENING. CIGS WILL VARY BETWEEN
VFR AND MVFR IN THE LIGHT SNOW...WITH VSBYS VARYING BETWEEN MVFR AND
IFR. VSBYS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR WITH PATCHES OF MVFR TONIGHT.

A GENERAL IFR IN SNOW DEVELOPS BETWEEN 4 AM AND 8 AM...LOWERING TO
LIFR IN HEAVIER SNOW MIDDAY AND AFTERNOON. CONDITIONS WILL BE A
LITTLE HIGHER ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS WHERE THERE MAY BE SOME MIXING
OR CHANGE TO RAIN DURING THE AFTERNOON. STRONG LOW LEVEL SOUTHEAST
WINDS INCREASE TO 50 KNOTS OVER THE CAPE AND ISLANDS...WHICH WOULD
GENERATE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR FOR FMH-HYA-ACK. BOS AND PVD WILL HAVE
40-45 KNOT LOW LEVEL WINDS...SO ANY WIND SHEAR AT THOSE SPOTS WILL BE
LESS.

LOW PRESSURE PASSES EITHER OVER THE CAPE OR JUST EAST OF IT SUNDAY
EVENING 21Z-00Z. EXPECT SHIFT WINDS AT THAT TIME WITH A TREND TOWARD
