AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
359 PM EDT SUN MAR 22 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
UNSEASONABLY COLD BUT MAINLY DRY WEATHER WILL AFFECT THE REGION
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...AS STRONG CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE NOSES INTO THE
REGION.  A WARMING TREND IS EXPECTED FOR THE MIDDLE TO LATE PART OF
THE WORK WEEK...BUT LITTLE IF ANY MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
SCATTERED SPRINKLES/BRIEF SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON
UNDER STEEPENING MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES.  THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.  THIS ACTIVITY
SHOULD COME TO AN END FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST THIS EVENING.  WE
WILL CONTINUE WITH 20 TO 30 POPS INTO THE EARLY EVENING FOR THIS
ACTIVITY.  SOME OF THE INTERIOR MAY SEE THE PRECIPITATION IN THE FORM
OF FLURRIES/BRIEF SNOW SHOWERS...BUT NO ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED.

OTHERWISE...A DEEP CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL DROP SOUTH INTO
NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT.  SKIES WILL BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR ACROSS
THE MAJORITY OF THE REGION...BUT UNSEASONABLY COLD AIR WILL MOVE
INTO THE REGION FOR LATE MARCH.  IN FACT...BY 12Z MONDAY 850 MB
TEMPERATURES WILL HAVE DROPPED BETWEEN -16C AND -20C  THIS SHOULD
YIELD LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER TEENS ACROSS THE INTERIOR
HIGH TERRAIN...AND BETWEEN 20 AND 25 DEGREES ON THE COASTAL PLAIN.
IN ADDITION...NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS OF 20 TO 25 MPH WILL YIELD WIND
CHILLS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO LOWER TEENS BY DAYBREAK MONDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...

MONDAY...
AN UNSEASONABLY COLD DAY IS ON TAP FOR LATE MARCH.  PARTLY SUNNY
SKIES ARE EXPECTED FOR MOST OF THE REGION...WITH JUST SOME DIURNAL
CUMULUS CLOUDS EXPECTED.  HOWEVER...WITH 850 MB TEMPERATURES BELOW
-15C ONLY EXPECT HIGH TEMPERATURE TO RECOVER INTO THE UPPER 20S
ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN...AND THE LOW TO MID 30S ACROSS THE COASTAL
PLAIN.  NORTHWEST WINDS WILL ALSO GUSTS TO BETWEEN 30 AND 35
MPH...MAKING IF FEEL EVEN COLDER.

WE GENERALLY EXPECT DRY WEATHER...BUT EXPECT OCEAN EFFECT CLOUDS AND
FLURRIES MAY AFFECT PORTIONS OF THE OUTER-CAPE AND NANTUCKET DURING
THE MORNING.  INCREASED POPS TO BETWEEN 20 AND 30 PERCENT IN THIS
REGION BY LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING AS CONDITIONS MAY BECOME MORE
FAVORABLE FOR SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS AS LAPSE RATES STEEPEN OVER THE
OCEAN WITH NORTH TO NORTHWEST SURFACE WINDS.

MONDAY NIGHT...
MOSTLY CLEAR...BREEZY AND VERY COLD WEATHER IS EXPECTED ACROSS MOST
OF THE REGION.  LOW TEMPERATURES SHOULD FALL INTO THE MID TO UPPER
TEENS ACROSS THE INTERIOR...WITH MAINLY LOWER 20S ALONG THE COASTAL
PLAIN.  WINDS WILL NOT DECOUPLE...AND EXPECT 25 TO 35 MPH WIND GUSTS
WELL INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.  ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
OUTER-CAPE/NANTUCKET NORTHERLY WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS UP
TO 45 MPH ARE EXPECTED.  A MARGINAL WIND ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR
PORTIONS OF THE CAPE AND NANTUCKET.

THE OTHER CONCERN IS FOR THE POTENTIAL OF OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS
ACROSS PORTIONS OF CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET.  THIS TYPE OF MESOSCALE
WEATHER EVENT IS ALWAYS TOUGH TO FORECAST...BUT WE WILL GO WITH THE
MOST LIKELY SCENARIO.  THE MODELS ARE SHOWING A FAIR AMOUNT OF LAKE
INDUCED CAPE FOR THE FIRST PART OF MONDAY NIGHT...WITH VALUES
APPROACHING 700 J/KG WHICH IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE.  THE NCAPE VALUES
ARE AROUND 0.15 WHICH IS OKAY...BUT COULD BE HIGHER.  WELL ALIGNED
NORTHERLY FLOW BELOW THE INVERSION IS ALSO QUITE FAVORABLE...BUT
WIND SPEEDS INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.  THEY MAY EVEN BECOME A
BIT TOO STRONG TO SUPPORT ORGANIZED BANDS...SO THE BETTER CHANCE MAY
COME DURING THE FIRST PART OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.  IN ADDITION...850 MB
TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO MODERATE TOWARDS 12Z...ALLOWING FOR LAPSE
RATES TO LESSEN A BIT.

WITH ALL THAT SAID...APPEARS TO BE ENOUGH NORTHERLY FLOW TO SUPPORT
A PERIOD OF LIKELY POPS ACROSS AT LEAST THE EASTERN HALF OF CAPE COD
WITH CHANCE POPS BACK TO THE CANAL AND INTO NANTUCKET.  THIS IS
PRETTY MUCH IN LINE WITH WHAT THE PREVIOUS FORECAST WAS
THINKING...SO NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES AT THIS POINT.  THE BEST CHANCE
OF ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL BE ACROSS THE OUTER-CAPE...WHERE WE COULD
SEE 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW.  AGAIN...CONFIDENCE IS NEVER HIGH IN
THESE MESOSCALE TYPE OF BANDS SO STAY TUNED.  WHAT EVER FALLS WILL
BE BLOW ABOUT BY STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS SO THAT IS ANOTHER CONCERN
THAT WILL NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...

TUE...LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE IN THE MORNING OVER THE CAPE
BUT SNOW SHOWERS WILL GRADUALLY DISSIPATE AS INSTABILITY DECREASES
WITH MODERATING 850 MB TEMPS.  CYCLONIC NORTHERLY FLOW AND ELEVATED
925-850 MB RH VALUES WILL KEEP LOTS OF CLOUDS ACROSS CAPE/ISLANDS
WITH SUNSHINE INCREASING TO THE WEST.  MAV TEMPS LOOK TOO WARM SO WE
USED A MAV/MET BLEND TO ACCOUNT FOR COLDER MET TEMPS.  MAXES UPPER
30S TO MID 40S...MILDEST LOWER CT VALLEY.  CONTINUED
WINDY...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST AND NEAR WIND ADVSY CRITERIA
POSSIBLE OUTER CAPE AND ACK.

TUE NIGHT...GFS MAY BE A BIT FAST IN BUILDING THE HIGH EWD INTO NEW
ENG AND DECREASING WINDS BASED ON CONSENSUS OF NAM/GGEM/ECMWF WHICH
HAS BRISK CYCLONIC NLY FLOW PERSISTING.  SLOW CLEARING BUT CONTINUED
BREEZY OVER THE CAPE/ISLANDS WITH CLEAR SKIES AND DIMINISHING WIND
ELSEWHERE.

WED...NICE DAY AS HIGH PRES BUILDS INTO NEW ENG.  LOTS OF SUNSHINE
WITH LIGHT WINDS BUT MAY STILL BE A BIT BREEZY ON THE CAPE.  MAXES
MID 40S TO LOWER 50S.

GFS AND THE GGEM FASTEST IN TEMPORARILY BREAKING DOWN THE UPPER
RIDGE THU AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVES INTO NEW ENG WITH GFS INCREASING
SHOWER THREAT THU.  ECMWF IS SLOWER WITH SHORTWAVE MOVING INTO NEW
ENG THU NIGHT.  WE LEANED TOWARD SLOWER ECMWF SOLUTION AS THESE
BLOCKING PATTERNS TYPICALLY TAKE LONGER TO BREAK DOWN.  SOME LIGHT
PRECIP POSSIBLE THU NIGHT.

EITHER WAY...IT LOOKS LIKE THE RIDGE BUILDS BACK ACROSS NEW ENG FRI
INTO SAT AS UPPER TROF AMPLIFIES OVER THE MIDWEST.  WE CONTINUED THE
CHC SHOWERS SAT BUT THIS MAY BE TOO PESSIMISTIC BASED ON LATEST
GUIDANCE.

TEMPS NEAR OR ABOVE NORMAL THU THROUGH SAT.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

TONIGHT...MAINLY VFR DESPITE 4 TO 6 THOUSAND FOOT CLOUDS AND
SPRINKLES/ISOLATED  SHOWERS THIS EVENING.  THE MHT/ORH TERMINALS MAY
SEE BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS IN A BRIEF SNOW SHOWER/FLURRY.  NORTHWEST
WIND GUSTS OF 25 KNOTS MAY DIMINISH FOR A TIME THIS EVENING AT SOME
OF THE TERMINALS...BUT MAY CONTINUE ACROSS THE COAST AND HIGH
TERRAIN.

MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...MAINLY VFR ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION.  THE
EXCEPTION WILL BE HYA/ACK AND POSSIBLY EVEN THE FMH TERMINALS.
OCEAN EFFECT CLOUDS WILL BRING MVFR CONDITIONS AT TIMES MONDAY AND
MONDAY NIGHT.  IN ADDITION...SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS MAY AFFECT THIS
REGION ESPECIALLY FOR A TIME MONDAY NIGHT WHICH COULD EVEN BRING A
BRIEF PERIOD OF IFR CONDITIONS.  CONFIDENCE ON IFR CONDITIONS
OCCURRING IS NOT HIGH. IN ADDITION...NORTHWEST 25 TO 30 KNOT WIND
GUSTS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION.  WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 35
AND 40 KNOTS WILL BE POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT AT THE ACK TERMINAL.

OUTLOOK /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

TUESDAY...LINGERING MVFR SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE HYA/ACK EARLY...
OTHERWISE VFR. WIND GUSTS TO 35 KT POSSIBLE HYA/ACK.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...

TONIGHT...
NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS OF 25 KNOTS EXPECTED FOR MOST WATERS IN THE
STRONG COLD ADVECTION PATTERN.  IN ADDITION...4 TO 7 FOOT SEAS WILL
CONTINUE ACROSS THE EASTERN OUTER-WATERS.  LIGHT FREEZING SPRAY WILL
ALSO DEVELOP TOWARD DAYBREAK MONDAY.

MONDAY...
STRONG COLD ADVECTION WILL SUPPORT NORTHWEST 25 TO 30 KNOT WIND
GUSTS ACROSS ALL WATERS.  LIGHT FREEZING SPRAY EXPECTED IN THE
MORNING.

MONDAY NIGHT...
DEEP CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL DROP FURTHER SOUTH AND BE LOCATED
TO THE EAST OF OUR WATERS.  THIS WILL PROMOTE EVEN STRONGER WINDS
AND CONFIDENCE IS HIGH IN 35 TO 40 KNOT NORTHERLY WIND GUSTS ACROSS
OUR EASTERN WATERS.  THEREFORE...EVEN THOUGH ITS A 3RD PERIOD EVENT
WILL GO AHEAD AND HOIST A GALE WARNING.  IN ADDITION...NORTH TO
NORTHWEST FLOW WILL ALLOW SEAS TO INCREASE TO BETWEEN 8 AND 12 FEET
ACROSS OUR EASTERN OUTER-WATERS.

OUTLOOK /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

TUE...NORTHERLY GALES LIKELY ACROSS EASTERN WATERS AS GRADIENT
INCREASES IN CAA PATTERN.  GUSTS TO 35-40 KTS EXPECTED WITH SEAS
BUILDING TO 12-14 FT ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS EAST OF THE CAPE AND
NANTUCKET DURING TUE.  SCA CONDITIONS WEST OF CAPE COD.

TUE NIGHT...SCA CONDITIONS WITH G30 KTS EASTERN WATERS...SLOWLY
SUBSIDING LATE.

WED AND THU...N WINDS DIMINISH BELOW 25 KT WED WITH LIGHT WINDS
THU...BUT HAZARDOUS SEAS OF 8-10 FT WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE OUTER
EASTERN WATERS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
THE VERY DRY WEATHER OF THE PAST 10 DAYS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS WEEK.  ALTHOUGH WE WILL BE CLOSE TO FIRE
WEATHER HEADLINE CRITERIA THE NEXT FEW DAYS BASED ON WIND SPEEDS AND
MINIMUM AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITIES.  HOWEVER...HAVE DECIDED NOT
TO GO WITH ANY HEADLINES AT THIS POINT.  TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE
COLD AND SOME OF THE INTERIOR HIGH TERRAIN STILL HAS SOME SNOW COVER.
