AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
354 AM EST MON DEC 21 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
UNSEASONABLY COLD WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH MID WEEK...FOLLOWED
BY A GRADUAL MODERATING TREND TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK.  LOW
PRESSURE AND A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST
CHRISTMAS DAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
GENERALLY MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND COLD TEMPERATURES ARE ON TAP FOR
MOST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  MODEL CROSS SECTIONS DO INDICATE A
BIT MORE MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS ACROSS SOUTHERN NH/NORTHEAST MA
SO WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE THE SUN DIM IN THIS REGION FOR A TIME.
BASED ON RECENT PERFORMANCE AND THE FRESH SNOW COVER ACROSS MUCH OF
THE REGION...WILL FOLLOW THE COLDER NAM MOS GUIDANCE.  HIGHS SHOULD
MAINLY BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 20S ACROSS THE INTERIOR HIGH
TERRAIN...TO THE LOWER 30S ON THE COASTAL PLAIN.  IN
ADDITION...BUFKIT SHOWS 35 MPH WIND GUSTS TODAY WHICH WILL MAKE IT
FEEL QUITE COLD.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...

TONIGHT...
MAINLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED TONIGHT ALTHOUGH WE STILL COULD SEE A
BIT OF HIGH CLOUDINESS ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN NH/NORTHEAST MA ZONES.
IT WILL BE A VERY COLD NIGHT...BUT ENOUGH MIXING IN THE BOUNDARY
LAYER WILL PREVENT TEMPERATURES FROM REALLY BOTTOMING OUT.
NONETHELESS...STILL EXPECT OVERNIGHT LOWS TO DROP TO BETWEEN 5 AND
10 ABOVE ACROSS SOUTHWEST NH/NORTHWEST MA...TO WELL DOWN INTO THE
TEENS ELSEWHERE.

TUESDAY...
ANOTHER VERY COLD AND WINDY DAY IS IN STORE FOR SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND.  DESPITE THE FACT THAT 850 MB TEMPERATURES ARE NOT THAT
COLD...THERE LOOKS TO BE A CONTINUED SHOT OF SHALLOW COLD AIR.  THE
GFS MOS LOOKS TOO WARM WHEN LOOKING AT THE MODEL 2 METER
TEMPERATURES AND STAYED CLOSER TO THE NAM MOS.  HIGHS SHOULD ONLY
REACH INTO THE MID TO UPPER 20S ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS.

WE ALSO EXPECTED TO SEE THE BEGINNING OF A NORLUN TROUGH
DEVELOPMENT.  THE GFS MAY BE A BIT FAST WHEN COMPARING IT TO THE
OTHER MODELS...BUT A CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL BE DROPPING
SOUTHEAST DURING THE DAY.  WE MAY SEE SKIES BECOME MOSTLY CLOUDY
DURING THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON ACROSS OUR NORTHERN AND EASTERN
SECTIONS.  HAVE ALSO INTRODUCED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS TOWARD EVENING
ACROSS OUR FAR NORTHEAST ZONES AS WELL AS THE OUTER-CAPE.
AGAIN...THE GFS MAY BE A BIT FAST BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE
A FEW LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOP TOWARD EVENING IN THESE LOCATIONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...TIMING AND PLACEMENT ISSUES DEVELOP
REGARDING THE APPROACH OF A SHORT WAVE DISTURBANCE FROM THE GREAT
LAKES REGION. 12Z NAM IS ALMOST 24 HOURS SLOWER THAN THE 12Z GFS.
FOLLOWED THE 00Z ECMWF IS IT BEST REFLECTED THE ENSEMBLE MEAN.
THE TIMING OF THIS SHORT WAVE WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON TEMPERATURES
BOTH DAYS. WILL NOTE INCREASING CLOUDS ACROSS THE NORTH TUESDAY
THEN ACROSS THE EAST TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AS SOME OF THE
WRAP AROUND MOISTURE FROM THE OFFSHORE LOW IS ADVECTED SOUTH SOUTHWEST
FROM THE MAINE COAST AND CANADIAN MARITIMES. HAVE INCLUDED A LOW
CHANCE POP ALONG THE COAST TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. THERE COULD
BE A FEW LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS OR FLURRIES AS SURFACE WINDS TURN TO THE
NORTH AND CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT EXISTS FOR A TIME. LEANED TOWARDS THE
COLDER MET GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES TUESDAY.

THURSDAY...SCATTERED EARLY MORNING SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE CAPE AND
ISLANDS. OTHERWISE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND H5 RIDGING WILL
ALLOW FOR DRY CONDITIONS. MOIST NORTHEAST FLOW WILL ALLOW LOW CLOUDS
TO REMAIN STUBBORN PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.
TEMPERATURES REMAIN SLIGHTLY COLDER THAN SEASONAL NORMS. UNDERCUT
MOS GUIDANCE BY A FEW DEGREES AS POOR BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING...SNOW
COVER AND CLOUD COVER SHOULD HOLD DOWN TEMPERATURES.

THURSDAY NIGHT...LOW CLOUDS MAY EXPAND ACROSS THE AREA AS LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE REMAINS TRAPPED UNDERNEATH AN INVERSION.

FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...FAIRLY POTENT SOUTHERN STREAM ENERGY
APPROACHES THE OHIO VALLEY BY FRIDAY. DISCREPANCIES EVOLVE
REGARDING DEEPENING OF A LONG WAVE TROUGH ACROSS THE CENTRAL UNITED
STATES FRIDAY AND BY SATURDAY ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. THIS WILL
HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE TIMING OF PRECIPITATION FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
THE 12Z GFS OPERATIONAL RUN WAS DEEPER THAN ITS ENSEMBLE MEAN. THE
GGEM WAS THE MOST PROGRESSIVE MODEL WHILE THE 12Z UKMET/00Z ECMWF
OPERATIONAL RUNS WERE CENTERED NEAR THE ENSEMBLE MEAN. MODELS HAVE
BEEN TRENDING TOWARDS A MORE AMPLIFIES SOLUTION OVER THE PAST 24
HOURS. HAVE FOLLOWED THE 00Z ECMWF AND 12Z UKMET SOLUTIONS. THIS
BRINGS IN CHANCE POPS BY FRIDAY...THEN LIKELY LATE FRIDAY INTO
SATURDAY.

PRECIPITATION SHOULD BEGIN AS A MIX OF SNOW SLEET AND FREEZING
RAIN...AND CHANGE QUICKLY TO RAIN ALONG THE COAST AS A POTENT 60 KT
LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY JET AND STRONG 850 MB WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL
WARM THE COLUMN. ACROSS THE FAR INTERIOR...THERE IS A CHANCE THAT
WINTRY PRECIPITATION WILL LINGER FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THIS WILL
DEPEND ON THE TIMING OF PRECIPITATION AND AMOUNT OF COLD AIR
DAMMING AVAILABLE.

PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES CLIMB TO AROUND 1 G/KG AND THE ECMWF AND
GFS ADVERTISE 0.50 TO 2.00 INCHES OF PRECIPITATION FOR THE EVENT.
THESE AMOUNTS COULD BE A CONCERN FOR AT LEAST SOME URBAN AND POOR
DRAINAGE FLOODING...AS WELL AS THE ABSORPTION OF RAINFALL ON SNOW
COVERED AND ICE COVERED ROOFTOPS WHERE HEAVY SNOW HAS RECENTLY
FALLEN. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THROUGH THIS WEEK.

COOL AND DRY WESTERLY FLOW WILL PREVAIL SUNDAY. ANOTHER SHORT WAVE
MAY APPROACH FROM THE WEST. FOR NOW WILL ONLY ADVERTISE A SLIGHT
CHANCE POP.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

TODAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS AND NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS
OF 30 KNOTS.

TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS.

TUESDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS OF 25 TO 30 KNOTS.
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED.  HOWEVER...LOW PROBABILITY OF MVFR
CEILINGS DEVELOPING AT THE MHT/BOS TERMINALS DURING THE AFTERNOON OR
TOWARD EVENING.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

TUESDAY NIGHT...VFR. LOW CHANCE MVFR LATE ACROSS THE NORTHEAST.

WED AND WED NIGHT...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE MVFR CEILINGS WITH SCT
SNOW SHOWERS SPREADING ONSHORE ALONG THE E MA COAST.

THURSDAY...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE MVFR CONDS WITH LOW CEILINGS
ALONG THE COAST. SCATTERED FLURRIES NEAR THE COAST.

FRIDAY...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE MVFR CEILINGS PERSIST. CHANCE
MIXED PCPN LATE ACROSS THE WEST.

&&

.MARINE...

TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
DECIDED TO HOIST A GALE FOR MARGINAL 35 KNOTS GUSTS ACROSS OUR
OUTER-WATERS TODAY.  ITS STILL GUSTING TO AROUND 35 KNOTS AT SEVERAL
OF OUR BUOYS AND EXCELLENT MIXING SHOULD ALLOW THESE TO CONTINUE
THROUGH THE DAY AND INTO THE EVENING.  THEN EXPECT SOLID 30 KNOT
WIND GUSTS OVER THE OUTER-WATERS LATE TONIGHT AND THROUGH TUESDAY
AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...

SCA CONDS WITH N WINDS TURNING NE THURSDAY THEN E FRIDAY.
