AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
421 AM EST SAT FEB 9 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES TODAY WILL BRING SNOW
AND RAIN TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. THE LOW WILL SWING A STRONG COLD FRONT THROUGH NEW ENGLAND
SUNDAY MORNING WITH STRONG WINDS AND SNOW SQUALLS. HIGH PRESSURE
BRINGS FAIR COLD WEATHER MONDAY. ANOTHER GREAT LAKES LOW PRESSURE
WILL BRING A MIXTURE OF PRECIPITATION TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL NOON TODAY/...
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND STUCK IN BETWEEN TWO SYSTEMS. THE SNOW FROM
EARLIER TODAY HAS DEPARTED...BUT SCATTERED CLOUDS IN ADVANCE OF THE
NEXT SYSTEM ALREADY STARTING TO ARRIVE. STILL EXPECTING MORE CLEARING
THAN CLOUDS OVERNIGHT...WHICH WOULD LEAD TO FREEZING OF UNTREATED
SURFACES OVERNIGHT. CURRENT FORECAST MIN TEMPERATURES LOOK
REASONABLE...BUT WILL HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON SOUTHEAST MA.
ALREADY WITHIN A COUPLE OF DEGREES OF FORECAST IN THIS AREA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /NOON TODAY THROUGH 6 AM SUNDAY/...

WARMER AIR WILL BE TRANSPORTED NORTH AND NORTHEAST TRAILING THE HIGH
PRESSURE...THIS AIR WILL RUN OVER THE TOP OF COLDER DENSER AIR
ALREADY IN PLACE. THE RESULTING ISENTROPIC LIFT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO
GENERATE SNOW NORTH AND RAIN SOUTH DURING THE DAY. ISENTROPIC
LIFT...AS SHOWN ON THE 285K AND 980K SURFACES...REMAINS WEST OF THE
CT VALLEY UNTIL EARLY AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH THE NUCLEATION ZONE IS
FORECAST TO MOISTEN IN THE MORNING...DRY AIR BELOW 5000 FEET IS
FORECAST BY BUFKIT PROFILES TO LINGER OVER THE REGION UNTIL AT LEAST
MIDDAY. THIS WILL DELAY PCPN ONSET COMPARED TO PREVIOUS FORECASTS. AS
SUCH...WE ARE BRINGING LIKELY POPS TO CT VALLEY SAT EARLY AFTERNOON
AND TO EASTERN MASS A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER IN THE MID AFTERNOON. THE
FORCING SHOULD REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE EARLY HALF OF THE NIGHT
WHICH SHOULD SUPPORT LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS. QPF VALUES LOOK TO
BE IN THE ONE-QUARTER TO ONE-HALF INCH RANGE...WHICH WOULD SUPPORT
3-6 INCHES IN SOUTHERN NH AND 1-3 INCHES IN WESTERN AND CENTRAL MASS.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS POTENTIAL. THE WARM FRONT AND SOURCE OF
STRONGEST LIFT WILL MOVE NORTH OF US OVERNIGHT...BUT MODELS INDICATE
CONTINUING ISENTROPIC LIFT THROUGH THE NIGHT...SO POPS WILL LOWER
OVERNIGHT BUT LINGER AT CHANCE LEVELS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

INTERESTING DAY ON SUNDAY WEATHER-WISE AS ARCTIC FRONT ROLLS ON
THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE PIECES ARE
COMING INTO PLACE FOR A DECENT WINDEX/SNOW SQUALL EVENT DURING THE
MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS ON SUNDAY. THE LAST TWO SHIFTS HAVE
ALLUDED TO THIS...SO THEREFORE NO MAJOR CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE
FORECAST. INSTABILITY PARAMETERS...SYNOPTIC SCALE ASCENT...SPIKE IN
DEEP RH IN SNOW GROWTH REGION ALL POINT TO A PERIOD OF HEAVY SNOW
SQUALLS FOR A LOT OF SNE LOCATIONS.

HAVE CONTINUED THE MENTION OF ISOLD THUNDER SUNDAY MORNING INTO THE
EARLY AFTERNOON AS WELL. TRAVELERS WILL NEED TO BE AWARE THAT CHANGES
IN VSBYS AND ROAD CONDITIONS MAY BE QUITE DRAMATIC DURING THIS TIME
AS SNOW SQUALLS WITH WHITEOUT CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE. WOULDN/T
BE SURPRISED TO SEE A FLASH FREEZE IN AREAS THAT GET ABOVE FREEZING
SUNDAY MORNING. IF AND WHEN ANY HEAVY SQUALLS HIT...TEMPS WILL DROP
MARKEDLY AND ACT TO QUICKLY FREEZE ANY WATER/SLUSH ON AREA ROADWAYS.
BEST CHANCE FOR THIS WILL BE ALONG AND EAST I-95 CORRIDOR AS WELL AS
CT VALLEY.

WINDS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO PICK QUITE MARKEDLY LATER SUNDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. A WIND ADVISORY MAY BE REQUIRED FOR A TIME DURING THIS
PERIOD AS WINDS COULD POTENTIALLY GUST AROUND 50 MPH. AS PREVIOUS
FORECASTER MENTIONED...SREF STILL HAS A LOW PROB OF BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS FOR SOUTHERNMOST MASS...MAINLY THE CAPE AND ISLANDS AS
ANY SQUALLS WOULD HELP TO BRING STRONG WINDS TO THE SFC GIVEN THE
WARMER BOUNDARY LATER START.

CLOUDS BREAK A BIT SUNDAY NIGHT BUT BITING COLD AIR ADVECTION ON VERY
GUSTY WINDS CONTINUE.

UNDERCUT MOS GUIDANCE FOR MONDAY...A BLEND OF THE MOSGUIDE AND GFS 2M
TEMPS LOOKS MORE REASONABLE THAN JUST GOING WITH ONE OR THE OTHER. IN
A NUTSHELL...A COLD AND GUSTY BUT FAIR DAY.

THE NEXT SYSTEM TO AFFECT THE REGION MIDWEEK IS A COMPLEX ONE. THE
MODELS ARE HAVING A HARD TIME DETERMINING HOW IT WILL EVOLVE...AND
THAT/S UNDERSTANDABLE AT THIS RANGE. HOWEVER...THE 00Z GFS AND ECMWF
HAVE COME INTO DECENT AGREEMENT THAT LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP
OVER/NEAR THE MID ATLANTIC SEABOARD EARLY WEDNESDAY AND TRACK
NORTHEASTWARD. OVERRUNNING PRECIP WILL PROBABLY COMMENCE SOMETIME TUE
AS A MIX OF PRECIPITATION...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE INTERIOR. TUE NIGHT
LOOKS QUITE WARM...BUT THIS COULD CHANGE WITH TIME. FOR NOW...WENT
WITH RAIN FOR THE SOUTHEASTERN HALF OF THE CWA AND A MIX ACROSS THE
INTERIOR. THEN...AS LOW STRENGTHENS WHILE EXITING THE COLD AIR IS
LIKELY TO COLLAPSE BACK SOUTH AND CHANGE EVERYONE OVER TO SNOW. AT
THIS TIME...CONFIDENCE IN ANY SOLUTION IS LOW. ONE THING THAT CAN BE
SAID WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF CONFIDENCE IS THAT THE GFS IS PROBABLY
TOO STRONG WITH THE COASTAL LOW. WE EXPECT THE OUTCOME TO BE A
SLIGHTLY WEAKER SOLUTION MORE IN LINE WITH THE CANADIAN/ECMWF/GFS
ENSEMBLE.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VFR EXPECTED ALL AREAS FOR THE OVERNIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING...WITH
PATCHY MVFR F POSSIBLE IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS.

NEXT CLOUD AREA MOVES IN SATURDAY WITH MVFR CONDITIONS IN SNOW AND
RAIN AFTER 18Z IN THE CT VALLEY AND AFTER 21Z IN THE EAST. LIFR FOR
2-4 HOURS IN SNOW BDL/BAF/MHT AND ORH.  PLS SEE TAFS FOR DETAILS.
PLOWING OPS LIKELY AT THOSE AIRPORT.

IFR CONDITIONS MUCH OF SATURDAY NIGHT.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SUNDAY...ARCTIC FRONT CROSSES REGION. LOOKING AT MAINLY VFR/MVFR
CONDITIONS BUT A PERIOD OF SNOW SQUALLS LIKELY WITH VSBYS QUICKLY
DROPPING TO UNDER AND HALF MILE AT TIMES WITH WINDS POTENTIALLY
GUSTING TO 40 KT. THEREFORE...BRIEF PERIODS OF IFR/LIFR EXPECTED
BETWEEN 14Z AND 20Z OR SO.

WESTERLY WIND GUSTS AROUND 40 KT EXPECTED SUNDAY EVENING WITH VFR
CONDITIONS.

SUNDAY NIGHT THRU MONDAY NIGHT...VFR WIND WITH WIND DIMINISHING.

TUE/WED...POTENTIAL FOR LOW CONDITIONS IN WINTRY PRECIPITATION WITH
APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION WILL MEAN RELATIVELY LIGHT CONDITIONS
TODAY...BUT WITH INCREASING CLOUDS AND RAIN/SNOW DEVELOPING DURING
THE AFTERNOON.

A WARM FRONT MOVES THROUGH DURING THE NIGHT. AT THIS TIME THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL INCREASE...AND WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD PICK UP
TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS ONCE AGAIN.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
GALE WARNING ISSUED FOR 35 TO 45 GUSTS SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY EVENING IN
WAKE OF ARCTIC FRONT.

MONDAY...GALES DIMINISH BY LATE MONDAY MORNING.
