AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
230 AM EST TUE DEC 15 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE TRACKING ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL PUSH A STRONG
COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REGION LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
BLUSTERY AND UNSEASONABLY COLD WEATHER WILL FOLLOW WEDNESDAY THROUGH
THE WEEKEND.  A COASTAL STORM MAY THREATEN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
SOMETIME LATE IN THE WEEKEND BUT ITS TRACK AND ANY AFFECTS ARE
HIGHLY UNCERTAIN.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
A FEW SPRINKLES OR PERHAPS A BRIEF PASSING SHOWER ARE POSSIBLE
ACROSS NORTHWEST MA/SOUTHERN NH EARLY THIS MORNING.
FORTUNATELY...TEMPERATURES WERE JUST ABOVE FREEZING ACROSS THIS
REGION SO ANY BRIEF SPOTTY LIGHT PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE IN THE LIQUID
FORM.

OTHERWISE...GENERALLY A DRY AND MILD MID DECEMBER DAY IS ON TAP FOR
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  WEAK BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING WILL LIKELY TRAP
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BENEATH THE INVERSION.  THIS SHOULD RESULT IN
RATHER CLOUDY SKIES ACROSS THE REGION FOR MUCH OF THE DAY.  DESPITE THE
CLOUD COVER...MILD MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES AND A MILD START SHOULD
YIELD HIGHS WELL UP INTO THE 40S TO POSSIBLY SOME LOWER 50S ACROSS
RHODE ISLAND/SOUTHEAST MA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...

TONIGHT...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION DURING BY EARLY THIS
EVENING.  WHILE THE FRONT SHOULD MOVE THROUGH DRY WITH LITTLE
MOISTURE AVAILABLE...IT WILL USHER IN MUCH COLDER AIR INTO SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND.   LOW TEMPERATURES BY 12Z WEDNESDAY WILL GENERALLY BE
IN THE 20S UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES.

WEDNESDAY...
DESPITE PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES IT WILL BE A WINDY AND VERY
COLD DAY.  STRONG COLD ADVECTION SHOULD HOLD HIGH TEMPERATURES IN
THE MID TO UPPER 20S ACROSS THE INTERIOR HIGH TERRAIN...TO THE LOWER
30S IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS.  LOWED MOS GUIDANCE A FEW DEGREES BASED
ON 2 METER TEMPERATURES AND STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION.  IN
ADDITION...A WELL MIXED ATMOSPHERE WILL SUPPORT NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS
OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 40 MPH.  MOST LOCATIONS WILL PROBABLY
FALL JUST SHORT OF WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA DURING THE DAY
WEDNESDAY...BUT ITS POSSIBLE A FEW LOCATIONS TOUCH CRITERIA.
REGARDLESS...WIND CHILL VALUES SHOULD BE IN THE TEENS FOR MOST OF
THE DAY.  IT CERTAINLY WILL FEEL VERY COLD AFTER THE MILD WEATHER OF
TODAY.

AS FOR PRECIPITATION CHANCES GENERALLY EXPECT A DRY DAY.

MODELS AND ENSEMBLE MEMBERS WITH TIMING...TRACK AND INTENSITY OF
THIS STORM SO FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS LOW.  GGEM HAS BIG STORM HERE
SAT AND SAT NIGHT WHILE EC IS A MISS.  GFS/UKMET IN BETWEEN AND
