AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
336 AM EST SAT DEC 26 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CAROLINAS WILL MOVE UP THE ATLANTIC COAST
BRINGING A MIXTURE OF PRECIPITATION TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS
MORNING AND MAINLY RAIN LATE TODAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY. ANOTHER WEAK
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL LIKELY BRING SOME LIGHT SNOW TO THE REGION
ON MONDAY. VERY COLD AND BLUSTERY WEATHER WILL FOLLOW IN THE WAKE OF
THIS LOW MONDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. A COASTAL STORM MAY BRING MORE
WINTRY PRECIPITATION TO THE REGION AROUND NEW YEARS DAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
MEASUREABLE PRECIP MOVED INTO CT AND WESTERN MASS OVERNIGHT WITH
ADDITIONAL AREAS OF PRECIP LINED DOWN THE COAST. PRECIP TYPES RANGED
FROM SNOW IN THE CT VALLEY TO RAIN AND FREEZING RAIN IN SOUTHEAST CT.
PER BOX RADAR THIS LEADING AREA OF PRECIP IS SHRINKING AS IT MOVES
NORTHEAST...SO LESS OF A CHANCE FOR IT TO AFFECT EASTERN SECTIONS.
THOSE EASTERN SECTIONS ARE INSTEAD AFFECTED BY ONSHORE CONVEYOR
BRINGING LIGHT SNOW AND DRIZZLE. THIS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE
MORNING. WHERE TEMPS ARE BELOW FREEZING THE DRIZZLE IS ACTUALLY
FREEZING DRIZZLE...AND COULD CAUSE TRAVEL PROBLEMS ON UNTREATED
SURFACES. WITH ALL OF THIS IN MIND...WE ARE KEEPING THE WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY IN PLACE FOR THE INTERIOR THROUGH MIDDAY.

ADDITIONAL AREAS OF PRECIP MOVING UP THE COAST WILL MOVE INTO
THE CT VALLEY AND OTHER WESTERN SECTIONS DURING THE MORNING AND WORK
EAST BY EVENING. WITH THIS IN MIND WE TREND POPS UP THROUGH THE DAY
WITH ALL BUT EXTREME EASTERN SECTIONS AT CATEGORICAL POPS /FOR
MEASUREABLE PRECIP/ BY 6 PM.

MAX AND MET MOS TEMPERATURES WERE SIMILAR...SO GRID TEMPS ARE A
BLEND OF MOS.

&&

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

NON DIURNAL TEMPERATURE TRACE FORECAST FOR SATURDAY NIGHT...WITH
TEMPERATURES RISING THROUGH THE 30S IN THE NORTHWEST AND TO NEAR 50
IN SOUTHEAST MASS. THIS WILL FAVOR RAIN MUCH OF THE NIGHT...SOME SNOW
MAY LINGER IN THIS HILLS DURING THE EVENING.  IT WILL BECOME RATHER
WINDY NEAR THE COAST SAT NIGHT BUT THE STRONGEST WINDS SHOULD BE
CONFINED TO THE COASTAL WATERS.

LOW PRESSURE WILL CROSS NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY. WE TIMED THE END OF
CATEGORICAL AND LIKELY POPS TO THE WIND SHIFT FROM EASTERLY TO
WESTERLY. ENOUGH OF A DRY SLOT MOVING IN WITH THE WIND SHIFT TO FAVOR
AT LEAST PARTIAL CLEARING DURING THE AFTERNOON. TEMPS ALOFT FAVOR MAX
TEMPS IN THE 40S...MAYBE 50 IN THE SOUTHEAST WHERE SUCH TEMPS WILL
HAVE BEEN ADVECTED IN.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...

A STRONG SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE TOWARD SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
SUNDAY NIGHT. IT LOOKS AS THOUGH ENOUGH MOISTURE AND ASCENT WILL
DEVELOP TO ALLOW LIGHT SNOW TO DEVELOP LATE SUNDAY NIGHT OR EARLY
MONDAY MORNING...LASTING THROUGH MID AFTERNOON OR SO. THERE IS STILL
A CHANCE THAT MUCH OF THE PRECIP WITH THIS SYSTEM REMAINS TO OUR
SOUTH...BUT IT LOOKS LIKE LOCATIONS MAINLY SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE
COULD SEE 1-2 INCHES OF SNOW...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS IF MORE
ATLANTIC MOISTURE CAN GET WRAPPED BACK INTO THE SYSTEM BEFORE IT
MOVES OUT TO SEA. WE WENT WITH LIKELY POPS SOUTH OF THE PIKE...WITH
CHANCE NORTH. SOUTHEASTERNMOST MASS AND COASTAL RI MAY BE WARM ENOUGH
IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER FOR A MIX WITH RAIN.

AFTER THIS SYSTEM DEPARTS LATE MONDAY...THE NEXT SHORT WAVE WILL BE
QUICK TO APPROACH...AND THIS ONE WILL HELP DRIVE AN ARCTIC FRONT
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND MONDAY NIGHT. VERY COLD AND WINDY
CONDITIONS WILL FOLLOW IN THE WAKE OF THIS FRONT FOR TUESDAY AND
TUESDAY NIGHT. WIND CHILLS WILL LIKELY DROP BELOW ZERO DURING THIS
TIME. WE CAN/T RULE OUT A FEW SNOW SQUALLS WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE
FRONT MONDAY NIGHT.

SFC HIGH PRESSURE LOOKS TO CREST OVER SNE ON WEDNESDAY...ALLOWING FOR
DIMINISHING WINDS AND SLOWLY MODERATING TEMPERATURES.

THE MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE AT LEAST THE POTENTIAL FOR A
SIGNIFICANT COASTAL STORM TO AFFECT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SOMETIME
BETWEEN FRIDAY AND SUNDAY. THIS WILL ALL DEPEND ON THE
STRENGTH/ORIENTATION/AND POSITION OF SHORT WAVES A GOOD 7 DAYS
AWAY...THEREFORE WE ONLY HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE THAT SUCH STORM WOULD
OCCUR.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

TODAY...OBSERVED MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS OVER THE REGION EARLY MORNING
WITH IFR CIGS/VSBYS UPSTREAM. MEDIUM TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN MVFR
CONDTIONS THIS MORNING. HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT CONDITIONS WILL LOWER TO
IFR/LIFR LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS THE MAIN AREA OF PRECIP WORKS
NORTHWARD. LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE EXACT TIMING OF THIS TRANSITION.

MIXED PRECIP WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MID MORNING...ESPECIALLY BDL-BAF-
ORH-MHT. WARMING TEMPS THROUGH THE DAY SHOULD CHANGE PRECIP TO RAIN
FROM SOUTH TO NORTH WITH ALMOST ALL AREAS IN RAIN TOWARD SUNSET.

TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR IFR CIGS AND VSBYS IN RAIN. INCREASING
EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE OVER THE CAPE AND ISLANDS...AND
POSSIBLY SOUTHEAST MASS...WITH 25 TO 35 KNOT GUSTS POSSIBLE. WINDS
WILL BE EVEN STRONGER AROUND 2000 FEET...SOUTHEASTERS OF 55 TO 60
KNOTS ARE FORECAST. MEDIUM CONFIDENCE OF LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR FROM
BOS-PVD ACROSS THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.

SUNDAY...MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IMPROVE TO VFR BY MIDDAY IF NOT SOONER.
WINDS DIMINISHING AND SHIFTING TO WEST BY MIDDAY.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

MONDAY...MVFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN LIGHT SNOW...ESPECIALLY ALONG
AND SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE.

TUESDAY...VFR...GUSTY NW WINDS.

WEDNESDAY...VFR WITH DIMINISHING WINDS.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER
THE MARITIMES AND LOW PRESSURE MOVES UP THE COAST. EAST WINDS WILL
INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY WITH GALE FORCE GUSTS IN THE SOUTHERN OUTER
WATERS TOWARD SUNSET.

TONIGHT...WINDS AND SEAS CONTINUE TO BUILD THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH
GALE FORCE GUSTS ALL AREAS EXCEPT BOSTON HARBOR AND NARRAGANSETT BAY.
WITH THIS EXPECTATION WE HAVE ISSUED GALE WARNINGS FOR ALL WATERS
EXCEPT THESE TWO...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES CONTINUE FOR BOSTON AND
NARRAGANSETT.

SUNDAY...GALE FORCE SOUTHEASTERLIES WILL QUICKLY DIMINISH DURING THE
MORNING HOURS WITH WINDS SHIFTING TO WEST BY THE AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER...SEAS WILL REMAIN HIGH...SO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL BE
NEEDED SUNDAY AFTER THE GALES COME DOWN.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

MONDAY...SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS POSSIBLE...BUT LULL IN WINDS LIKELY
AS WEAK LOW PRESSURE MOVES ALMOST DIRECTLY OVERHEAD.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...NW GALES LIKELY...THE STRONGEST OF
WHICH WILL PROBABLY OCCUR DAYTIME TUESDAY.
