AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
350 PM EDT FRI MAR 14 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
STORMS PASS NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT...SUNDAY AND THURSDAY. DRY OTHERWISE.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
CONSIDERABLE CLOUDS WILL COVER THE REGION AHEAD OF THE NEXT WEATHER
SYSTEM LOCATED ACROSS WESTERN TENNESSEE. A WARM FRONT DEVELOPS SOUTH
OF THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. CURRENT RADAR MOSAIC LOOKS FAIRLY
IMPRESSIVE WITH PRECIPITATION RETURNS. HOWEVER CURRENTLY MOST OF
THIS IS FALLING AS VIRGA AND STEADY PRECIPITATION RESIDES ACROSS OHIO.

REGARDING TODAYS AVAILABLE FORCING MECHANISMS...WARM AIR ADVECTION IS
EXPECTED TO INCREASE ESPECIALLY THE SECOND HALF OF THE AFTERNOON AS
THE LOW TRACKS NORTHEAST. LOW LEVEL INFLOW OFF THE ATLANTIC IS
CURRENTLY VERY WEAK...BUT EAST TO SOUTHEAST BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW WILL
INCREASE TOWARDS EVENING. SOME MODEST MID LEVEL FRONTOGENSIS
DEVELOPS THIS AFTERNOON WELL NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT.

OVERALL DECIDED TO TRIM POPS SLIGHTLY FOR THE TODAY PERIOD...MAINLY
ACROSS THE EAST BUT CONTINUED HIGH CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE
WEST...WITH THE BEST CHANCE ACROSS BERKSHIRES AND MONADNOCKS PRIOR TO
22Z. ALSO TRIMMED MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES TODAY GIVEN LIMITED BOUNDARY
LAYER MIXING AND ABUNDANT SKY COVER BUT A FEW SPOTS SHOULD REACH OR
ECLIPSE 50 DEGREES AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST. OTHERWISE NO OTHER
CHANGES NECESSARY AT THIS TIME AS MOST WEATHER ELEMENTS ARE ON TRACK.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
THE ECMWF/SREF/GFS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH MOVING LOW
PRESSURE CLOSE TO NANTUCKET BY EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. NORTH OF THE
SFC LOW...STRONG LOW AND MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS WILL HELP PROMOTE A
HEALTHY SWATH OF QPF ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT...WITH THE HIGHEST
AMOUNTS OF AROUND A HALF INCH LIKELY FALLING ACROSS NORTHWEST ZONES.
WENT WITH CATEGORICAL POPS ALL NIGHT FOR THE ENTIRE CWA.

THE CONCERN BECOMES PRECIP TYPE ACROSS THE FAR INTERIOR AS THE NIGHT
WEARS ON...SPECIFICALLY THE EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKS...THE
MONADNOCKS...AND POSSIBLY THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE WORCESTER
HILLS. AS THE STRONGEST OMEGA OVERSPREADS THE CWA OVERNIGHT...THE
BOUNDARY LAYER WILL COOL...PROBABLY ALLOWING FOR ISOTHERMAL PROFILES
AROUND THE 0C ISOTHERM AT THE ABOVE MENTIONED LOCATIONS BY MIDNIGHT.
DEPENDING ON THE STRENGTH OF THE OMEGA...A CHANGEOVER TO A HEAVY WET
SNOW IS POSSIBLE.

AT THIS TIME...WE ARE NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO ISSUE A SNOW ADVISORY
FOR THESE AREAS BASED ON THE MARGINAL TEMPERATURE PROFILES AND
POSSIBLE SHIFTS IN OMEGA/QPF AXES. IN ADDITION...THE SREF CONTINUES
WARM...ALTHOUGH IT/S PROBS FOR GREATER THAN 4 INCHES OF SNOWFALL HAVE
BEEN SLOWLY INCREASING ACRS SRN NH. FOR RIGHT NOW...THE THINKING IS
THAT A 2 TO 4 INCH WET SNOW IS POSSIBLE AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF W/NW
MASS AND SW NH BASED ON OMEGA/SNOW GROWTH PROFILES. BEST BET IS
WESTERN FRANKLIN/HAMPSHIRE COUNTIES AND EASTERN CHESHIRE/WESTERN
HILLSBOROUGH.

ELSEWHERE...A LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN IS EXPECTED AS BOUNDARY LAYER
TEMPS REMAIN TOO WARM AS IS OFTEN THE CASE THIS TIME OF YEAR. A FEW
WET SNOWFLAKES COULD MIX IN AT TIMES OF STRONGEST OMEGA.

THE PRECIPITATION WILL COME TO AN END FROM WEST TO EAST SATURDAY
MORNING...LEAVING VARIABLY CLOUDY SKIES AND A PERIOD OF GUSTY WINDS
BEHIND. MAX TEMPS DERIVED FROM A MAV/GFS 2M TEMP COMPROMISE.

STARTING TO THINK THE STORM MOVING OFF THE COAST SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY WILL BE TOO FAR SOUTH TO GENERATE MUCH PRECIPITATION. THOUGH
WE STILL HAVE TO CONTEND WITH A WEAKER SURFACE LOW PRESSURE IN THE
SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY AND A DECENT MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE. SO KEPT A LOW
CHANCE OF SNOW AND RAIN IN THE FORECAST UNTIL THE TIMING COMES INTO
BETTER FOCUS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SIMILAR HANDLING OF THE SUNDAY LOW PRESSURE BY THE VARIOUS MODELS
WITH THE SYSTEM PASSING WELL OFFSHORE SUNDAY...FAR ENOUGH TO MAKE IT
QUESTIONABLE WHETHER WE GET ANY PRECIPITATION. THOSE MODELS THAT DO
BRING PRECIP TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND HAVE AMOUNTS NEAR TRACE VALUE.
WE WILL GO WITH CHANCE POPS IN OUR SOUTH AND SLGT CHANCE IN OUR
NORTH.

THE BUILDING PRESSURE GRADIENT TRAILING THE STORM WILL BRING
INCREASED WINDS TO THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...THEN
DIMINISHING WIND AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVERHEAD.

LOW PRESSURE FROM THE PLAINS MOVES THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES MIDWEEK.
THIS BRINGS A WARM FRONT AND ISENTROPIC LIFT TO OUR VICINITY TUESDAY
NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. AN UPPER RIDGE DOES NOT PASS US UNTIL LATE
WEDNESDAY...AND WITH WEST-NORTHWEST FLOW UNTIL THAT TIME THERE IS
LITTLE HOPE FOR WARM FROPA HERE. SO WEDNESDAY SHOULD BE CLOUDY WITH A
CHANCE OF PRECIP...AND TEMPERATURES FAVORABLE FOR RAIN.

TIMING ON THE SYSTEM VARIES...WITH THE 12Z ECMWF FASTER THAN THE GFS
OPERATIONAL AND ENSEMBLE MEAN. THE LATTER TWO REMAIN SUFFICIENTLY
CONSISTANT WITH EACH OTHER TO STAY WITH THEIR SOLUTION WHICH BRINGS A
COLD FRONT ON THURSDAY. OUR MAIN CHANGE TO THE GUIDANCE WAS WITH THE
TEMPERATURES...MIN TEMPERATURES FOR TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT
WERE COLD (20S) AND DID NOT REFLECT CLOUDS AND AN EASTERLY FLOW. WE
BROUGHT MINS UP SEVERAL DEGREES.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
TODAY...VFR CIGS EXPECTED THROUGH MOST OF TODAY. SPOTTY MVFR
CEILINGS/VSBYS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS LIGHT RAIN OVERSPREADS
INTERIOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

TONIGHT...MVFR CONDITIONS ALL TERMINALS...LOWERING TO IFR FOR A TIME
LATE AT NIGHT.

SATURDAY...IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS EARLY ON SHOULD LIFT TO VFR DURING THE
AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SUNDAY...CONTINUED MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN THE MORNING...IMPROVING
FROM WEST TO EAST IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...VFR.

TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...CONDITIONS LOWERING TO MVFR/IFR.

&&

.MARINE...
THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...WINDS AND SEAS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA.

SATURDAY...SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN IN THE
MORNING AND CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS LOW PRESSURE PASSES TO
NEAR NANTUCKET.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
LOW PRESSURE PASSES WELL SOUTH OF NANTUCKET SUNDAY. PRESSURE RISES
SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BRING INCREASING NORTHWEST WINDS...REACHING AT
LEAST SMALL CRAFT STRENGTH WITH GALES POSIBLE ON THE OUTER WATERS.
WINDS DIMINISH MONDAY AFTERNOON AND TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
OVERHEAD. PRESSURE FALLS AHEAD OF A WARM FRONT WEDNESDAY...WITH WINDS
BUILDING TO NEAR SMALL CRAFT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
STORM TOTAL QPF FORECAST FOR TONIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING IS
EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM AROUND A QUARTER INCH ALONG THE SOUTH COAST OF
RI/MASS TO BETWEEN FOUR TENTHS AND A HALF INCH ACROSS THE
NORTHERNMOST TIER OF ZONES. AT THIS TIME...JUST SOME MINOR URBAN AND
POSSIBLY SMALL STREAM FLOODING IS EXPECTED. ALTHOUGH RIVERS HAVE
BEEN RUNNING HIGH FROM LAST WEEKEND/S HEAVY RAIN EVENT...THE EXPECTED
QPF THIS TIME AROUND SHOULD NOT RESULT IN MORE RIVER FLOODING.
