AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1012 PM EST SUN DEC 14 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL WILL REMAIN WELL OFFSHORE OVERNIGHT. A COLD FRONT
WILL HEAD INTO NEW ENGLAND MONDAY NIGHT AND MOVE OFF THE COAST
TUESDAY. FAST MOVING LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS NEW ENGLAND
WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THEN A SECOND LOW MAY FOLLOW FOR
FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD RETURN NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
A 4000 FOOT CLOUD LAYER SPREAD ACROSS CT-RI-SOUTHEAST MASS THIS
EVENING WITH BROKEN TO OVERCAST ALTOCU ABOVE IT. EXPECT THESE CLOUDS
TO LINGER THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH THE LOWER DECK POSSIBLY SPREADING
NORTHEAST...ESPECIALLY IN EASTERN MASS.

RADAR ECHOES ARE MAINLY MOVING FROM NORTHERN NY INTO VT-NH AND
STAYING NORTH OF US. SO A MOSTLY CLOUDY DRY FORECAST IN THE CARDS FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT.

SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO OVERNIGHT TEMPS AND WINDS FROM THE 02Z RUC AND
00Z NAM...BUT THE OVERALL SONG REMAINS THE SAME FROM PAST EDITIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
MONDAY...A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST WITH A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS ACROSS THE NORTHWEST ZONES DURING THE AFTERNOON.
CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST ESPECIALLY ACROSS INTERIOR SECTIONS.
OTHERWISE A MILD DAY CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION. A WIND
ADVISORY MAY BE NECESSARY ALONG THE SOUTH COAST BY AFTERNOON WHERE
SUSTAINED WINDS WILL BE CLOSE TO THE MINIMUM THRESHOLD OF 27 KT.

MONDAY NIGHT...SHOWERS LIKELY AS A COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE
REGION. SOME WET SNOW MAY MIX IN ACROSS THE NW INTERIOR BEFORE
PRECIPITATION ENDS LATE.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH WED BUT THEN DIVERGE
SIGNIFICANTLY BY END OF WEEK. SO CONFIDENCE IS ABOVE AVERAGE EARLY
IN PERIOD...THEN DROPS CONSIDERABLY BY FRI AND NEXT WEEKEND.

BEYOND TUE...TWO SYSTEMS EXPECTED TO IMPACT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...
* LIGHT SNOW/ICING POSSIBLE INLAND WED MORNING BEFORE CHANGING TO RAIN
* ANOTHER WINTRY MIX POSSIBLE INLAND LATE THU INTO FRI

TUE - WED...
COLD FRONT WILL BE MOVING OFFSHORE TUE. 12Z GFS REMAINS FASTER THAN
12Z NAM IN ENDING PRECIPITATION TUE AFTERNOON FROM N TO S...AND IT
ALSO FARTHER S WITH FRONT AS HIGH PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN CANADA IS A
BIT STRONGER. DESPITE BEING PARALLEL TO UPPER FLOW AND PRESENCE OF
RIDGE OFF MID ATLANTIC COAST...WE PREFER FASTER GFS SOLUTION WHICH
HAS SUPPORT FROM BOTH SREFS AND GEFS. THEREFORE WE WILL MAINTAIN
HIGHEST POPS TUE MORNING BEFORE INDICATING DRYING TREND LATER IN DAY.
IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT WE SEE PARTIAL CLEARING ACROSS SW NH BY DAYS
END.

PTYPE MAY BECOME AN ISSUE NORTH OF MASS PIKE AS COLDER AIR FILTERS
IN. WE DO NOT EXPECT ANY ICING FROM SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN...BUT
COLUMN SHOULD BECOME COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SNOW SHOWERS. LITTLE IF
ANY ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED THOUGH.

BASED UPON GFS AND SREF/GEFS...WE WILL BE IN BETWEEN SYSTEMS TUE
NIGHT. PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO MAINTAIN CLOUDY SKIES AS FLOW
SHIFTS TO NE...BUT THIS WILL ALSO REINFORCE COLDER AIR AT LOW LEVELS.
BROUGHT CHANCE POPS IN TOWARD WED MORNING ACROSS CT VALLEY BUT
ENSEMBLES SAY WE WILL REMAIN DRY PRIOR TO 12Z WED.

PRECIPITATION WILL QUICKLY OVERSPREAD REGION WED MORNING. PLENTY OF
WARMING OCCURS ALOFT WITH BROAD SW FLOW...HOWEVER WITH NE FLOW IN
PLACE AT SURFACE IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME FOR COLD TO ERODE...
ESPECIALLY AWAY FROM COAST. SREF DATA IS NOT HITTING FREEZING RAIN
POTENTIAL VERY HARD INLAND...ASIDE FROM FAR WESTERN MA AND FAR SW NH
BUT EVEN THERE PROBABILITIES ARE RELATIVELY LOW. WE THINK THERE WILL
BE A FAIRLY RAPID TRANSITION FROM SNOW TO RAIN WED...STARTING FIRST
ALONG COASTAL PLAIN IN MORNING THEN INLAND BY EARLY AFTERNOON. NOT
LOOKING FOR SIGNIFICANT ICING AT THIS POINT BUT SOME LIGHT ICING IS
POSSIBLE /UNDER 0.25 INCH/. ANY SNOWFALL SHOULD BE AN INCH OR TWO AT
MOST.

EVERYTHING WINDS DOWN WED EVENING AS SYSTEM HEADS OFFSHORE.

THU - SAT...
RELIED HEAVILY ON ENSEMBLES PER HPC REASONING. 12Z GFS REMAINS WAY
TOO FAST IN BRINGING NEXT SYSTEM THROUGH NORTHEAST AND WE PREFER
SLOWER 12Z ECMWF. ONCE PREVIOUS SYSTEM HEADS OFFSHORE THU...NEXT
SURFACE LOW IS EXPECTED TO TRACK FROM LOWER GREAT LAKES FRI MORNING
ACROSS CENTRAL NEW ENGLAND FRI AFTERNOON/EVENING...BEFORE REACHING
MARITIMES SAT.

THIS SCENARIO DOES NOT FAVOR MUCH IN WAY OF ACCUMULATING SNOWS...
ESPECIALLY WITH SUCH WARM AIR ALOFT...BUT AGAIN WE WILL PROBABLY HAVE
ENOUGH COLD TRAPPED AT LOW LEVELS ACROSS INTERIOR TO SUPPORT SNOW OR
A WINTRY MIX AT ONSET LATE THU/EARLY FRI. SINCE LOW SHOULD TRACK TO
OUR N FRI...WARMER AIR SHOULD EVENTUALLY WIN OUT AND FORCE A CHANGE
TO RAIN IN ALL LOCATIONS. IN FACT GMOS SHOWS TEMPERATURES CLIMBING
WELL INTO 40S AND 50S FRI AFTERNOON.

FOLLOWING ENSEMBLE MEAN...DRY AND SEASONABLE WEATHER EXPECTED NEXT
WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO REGION. THERE IS LITTLE SUPPORT
FOR STORMINESS ADVERTISED ON 12Z GFS FOR NEXT SUN.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
OVERNIGHT...3000 TO 4000 FOOT CEILINGS EXPECTED ALONG/SOUTH OF BAF-
ORH-BOS OVERNIGHT. IFR CIGS SEEM LESS LIKELY AND WILL BE SCALED BACK.

MONDAY...MVFR CEILINGS KBDL/KBAF/KORH/KMHT WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS
AFTER 20Z. CEILINGS IMPROVE TO VFR KBOS/KPVD/KFMH/KHYA/KACK BEFORE
LOWERING BACK TO MVFR AFTER 22Z. SW WINDS GUSTING TO 25-30KT MON
AFTERNOON WITH STRONGEST WINDS NEAR S COAST. ALTHOUGH NOT MEETING
LLWS CRITERIA...VERY STRONG SW WINDS /45-50KT/ EXPECTED NEAR 2KFT
MOST OF DAY.

MONDAY NIGHT...COLD FRONT CROSSES THE AREA. MVFR CEILINGS AND VSBYS
IN -SHRA.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

TUE...IFR IN RAIN SHOWERS IN THE MORNING...IMPROVING TO VFR FROM N-S
DURING THE AFTERNOON.

TUE NIGHT-WED...CONDITIONS LOWER TO MVFR-IFR CIGS/VSBYS IN AREAS OF
RAIN AND SNOW. POSSIBLE FZRA/PL INTERIOR WED MORNING...THEN AGAIN
WED EVENING BEFORE ENDING.

THU AND FRI...MVFR/IFR POSSIBLE IN RAIN SHOWERS. SNOW OR A WINTRY MIX
POSSIBLE INLAND AT START.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY HAS BEEN
ISSUED FOR ALL OF THE COASTAL WATERS. SOUTHWEST WINDS EXPECTED TO
GUST TO 25 TO 30 KT PARTICULARLY MONDAY AFTERNOON. WIND GUSTS COULD
APPROACH 35 KT NEAR THE SOUTH COAST.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

TUE...COLD FRONT CLEARS THE WATERS BY MIDDAY. EXPECT WIND SHIFT TO
N-NW WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 KT...MAINLY ON THE OUTER WATERS.

TUE NIGHT...WINDS SHIFT TO E-NE AND CONTINUE TO GUST UP TO 25 KT ON
THE OUTER WATERS.

WED...WINDS SHIFT AROUND TO S-SW AS WARM FRONT PUSHES THROUGH. GUSTS
UP TO 25 KT CONTINUE...ESPECIALLY ON S COASTAL WATERS.

THU AND FRI...WINDS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW 25 KT BUT SEAS ARE EXPECTED
TO REMAIN ABOVE 5 FT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
MOST MAINSTEM RIVERS HAVE CRESTED AND WILL FALL SLOWLY THROUGH MON.

CONNECTICUT RIVER AT HARTFORD AND MIDDLETOWN WILL REMAIN IN FLOOD
THROUGH AT LEAST TUE MORNING. ASSABET RIVER AT MAYNARD MA IS FORECAST
TO FALL BELOW FLOOD STAGE LATER TONIGHT.

RAINFALL LATE MON INTO TUE WILL AVERAGE 0.25 TO 0.50 INCH. THIS WOULD
NOT CAUSE ADDITIONAL RISES ON RIVERS AND STREAMS...BUT RATHER SLOW
THE RATE OF RECESSION.

&&

.CLIMATE...
DUE TO CONTINUED POWER OUTAGE AT WORCESTER THROUGH LATE SATURDAY
MORNING...PART OF THE DAYS OBSERVATIONS WERE MISSING.  SINCE WE HAVE
NO BACKUP DATA AT THAT LOCATION...WE WENT WITH MISSING DATA FOR
TEMPS AND WINDS ON THE DAILY CLIMATE REPORT. WITH HIGH PRESSURE
OVERHEAD TODAY AND ALL OTHER STATIONS ACROSS THE REGION REPORTING NO
PRECIP...LEFT A ZERO READING THERE AS WELL AS ZERO SNOW FOR 12/13.
