AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
850 AM EST WED JAN 7 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A WINTER STORM IS IMPACTING INTERIOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THROUGH
TONIGHT WITH A COMBINATION OF SNOW AND ICE. MAINLY DRY AND COLDER
WEATHER RETURNS FOR THE END OF THIS WEEK. MORE SNOW IS POSSIBLE SAT
AND SAT NIGHT AS A FAST MOVING CLIPPER TRACKS ALONG OR SOUTH OF THE
COAST. COLDER AND DRIER CONDITIONS SHOULD FOLLOW FOR SUNDAY WITH
ANOTHER STORM POSSIBLE MONDAY OR TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 2 PM THIS AFTERNOON/...
820AM.. EXPANDING WSW INTO TOLLAND COUNTY THRU MID AFTN FOR GLAZE
DAMAGE.  1.7 INCHES AT WESTBORO MA.

646 AM UPDATE: WIRES DOWN REPORTS FROM PARTS OF SE MASS TO THE UPPER
CAPE...MATTAPOISETT/BREWSTER WHERE ICING IS ABOUT OVER.

2 INCH SNOWFALL VCNTY TEMPLE/GROTON MASS. MAYNARD 1.4 INCHES.
LOGAN HAD 1.1 OVERNIGHT AND NOW ALL RAIN

WE UPDATED THE GRIDS SLIGHTLY FOR THIS MORNING MAINLY N CT RI AND SE
MASS TO THE UPPER CAPE FOR LONGER DURATION OF FREEZING RAIN.

ALSO THINK WE ARE GENERATING SMALL FLAKE SNOW AND SLEET AOB 6000 FT
IN PARTS OF SNE ARD 6 AND 7AM DUE TO LOW LVL LIFT.

BELOW FROM EARLIER DISCUSSION.

LATEST OBSERVATIONS INDICATING WINTER STORM TODAY WILL PRODUCE MORE
ICE THAN SNOW OR SLEET...ESPECIALLY ACROSS INTERIOR SECTIONS. RISK OF
SOME POWER OUTAGES INCREASING ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN OF HARTFORD
COUNTY...AS WELL AS THE WESTERN 2/3 OF MA AND SOUTHWEST NH.

SKYWARN ACTIVATION BEGINS AROUND 530 AM. SKYWARN PRESENCE WILL BE
HERE IN THE OFFICE FOR GLAZE AND POWER OUTAGE REPORTS. WE ARE USING
WEB REPORTS TOO.

THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. ACCURATE GLAZE THICKNESS REPORTS
ARE GOING TO BE EXCEEDINGLY HELPFUL. WOULD LIKE MEASUREMENTS ON
BRANCHES AND PAVEMENT IF POSSIBLE. ONCE WE SURPASS ONE QUARTER INCH
THICKNESS...INITIAL PROBLEMS BEGIN AND MAGNIFY GREATLY TOWARD ONE
HALF INCH.

A BRIEF RESPITE FROM THE HEAVIER FREEZING RAIN RATES EARLY THIS
MORNING...HOWEVER WILL BE FREEZING RAIN/DRIZZLE CONTINUING UNTIL THE
NEXT BATCH OF HEAVIER PRECIPITATION ARRIVES TOWARD MID MORNING.

ALONG AND N OF THE MASS PIKE SNOW SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN MIX... TO
GRADUALLY CHANGE TO MAINLY FREEZING RAIN BETWEEN 6 AM AND 9 AM.

MEANWHILE THE WARMING /ABOVE FREEZING/ IS PROGRESSING STEADILY NWWD
FROM THE CAPE AND THE ISLANDS WE MAY CANCEL THE FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY
EARLY ON CAPE COD.

07/06Z NAM STILL SHOWING -6C AT 09Z AROUND 925 MB FROM WEST HARTFORD
COUNTY NORTHWARD TO NEAR WESTFIELD MA...THEN EAST TO JUST NORTH OF
WORCESTER AND LAWRENCE. AT 12Z THE -6C IS ONLY ACROSS LITCHFIELD
COUNTY CT AND BERKSHIRE COUNTY MA INTO TO NORTHWEST CHESHIRE COUNTY NH.
THIS HELPS EXPLAIN REMAINING PL.

ICY THIS MORNING. PROBLEMS WITH MOS GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES BEING TOO
WARM...AND DID NOT USE THEM VERBATIM. UNTIL WE GET A DECENT EASTERLY
BOUNDARY LAYER WIND...MOS GUIDANCE WILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE SHALLOW
COLD AIR.

ALSO...ITS OUR EXPERIENCE THAT KPSM MOS GUIDANCE CAN BE AN EFFECTIVE
TOOL FOR NORTHERN ESSEX COUNTY...AND EVEN SOMETIMES BOSTON.

BOTTOM LINE...THIS IS AN POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MORNING DUE TO ICE.
FORESEE MANY TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES ON ALL UNTREATED SURFACES. AND EVEN
IF MAIN ROADS ARE TREATED...ITS TOUGHER TO SEE PATCHY ICE IN THE DARK.

ONE NOTE...POTENTIAL DAMAGE TODAY SHOULD END UP EXPANDING SWD SLIGHTLY
FROM EARLY DECEMBER. HOW DO WE COMPARE TO THAT EVENT... DONT HOLD ME
TO THIS 100 PCT BUT AS A HELPFUL PREDICTOR... IT SHOULD NOT BE QUITE
AS BAD AS EARLY DECEMBER..PROBABLY A BIT LESS QPF...BUT POTENTIAL
EXISTS FOR LENGTHY POWER OUTAGES PORTIONS OF W HFD COUNTY ACROSS W
2/3 RDS OF MASS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /2 PM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH 6 AM THURSDAY/...
WORST OF THE ICING EXPECTED TO BE IN THE BDL-ORH-BED CORRIDOR WHERE
HEAVIER QPF AND LONGER DURATION OF FZRA EXPECTED. LESS ICE FURTHER
NORTH INTO NW MA AND SW NH WHERE MORE SLEET AND LESS QPF EXPECTED.
SREF PTYPE PROBS ALSO HIT THE CENTRAL INTERIOR ZONES HARDER THAN NW
ZONES FOR ICE.

QPF 12-00Z RANGING FROM 0.5 TO 1+...BUT HEAVIER AMOUNTS EXPECTED
TO BE ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN.

SOUNDINGS SHOWING SOME DRYING IN THE LOW TO MID LEVELS THIS
AFTERNOON... WHICH MAY RESULT IN A LULL IN THE PRECIP.

IT APPEARS THE CORE OF THE LLJ WILL REMAIN JUST OFFSHORE...SO DO NOT
EXPECT VERY STRONG WINDS. BUT GUSTS TO 40 MPH NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION
FOR NANTUCKET.

AS COASTAL LOW MOVES NORTH OF OUR REGION TONIGHT...PRECIP WILL BECOME
MORE SHOWERY AND GRADUALLY TRANSITION BACK TO SNOW SHOWERS...MAINLY
ACROSS NORTHWEST MA AND SOUTHERN NH. AN ADDITIONAL 1 INCH
ACCUMULATION IS POSSIBLE. WEST WINDS WILL INCREASE LATE TONIGHT AS
WELL. SOME CONCERN ABOUT WHAT THESE INCREASED WINDS DOES TO REMAINING
GLAZED TREE LIMBS AND WIRES EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE STARTS TO BUILD INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
BEHIND AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THAT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.  THERE MAY
BE A FEW LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS IN THE MORNING IN NORTHWESTERN
MASSACHUSETTS AND SOUTHWESTERN NEW HAMPSHIRE.  OTHERWISE HIGHS WILL
BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S.  SKIES CLEAR GRADUALLY OVERNIGHT
ALLOWING LOW TEMPERATURES TO DROP INTO THE TEENS TO THE LOWER 20S.
WINDS WILL BE GUSTY THROUGH THE DAY WITH GUSTS DIMINISHING
OVERNIGHT.  THIS WILL RESULT IN WIND CHILLS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS
ACROSS THE INTERIOR.

FRIDAY...HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BUILD INTO THE AREA.  QUIET
WEATHER BUT COLD DURING THE DAY WITH HIGHS IN THE 20S.  WINDS WILL
NOT BE AS STRONG AS THURSDAY BUT EVEN THE 10 TO 15 KT WIND WILL BE
ENOUGH TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE TEMPERATURES ARE ONLY IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS TO TEENS.  OVERNIGHT...AS THE NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES THE AREA
THE CHANCE OF SNOW WILL INCREASE.  LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS TO TEENS.

SATURDAY...A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE FROM THE GREAT
LAKES...ACROSS NEW YORK AND THEN EITHER ALONG THE SOUTH COAST OR A
BIT FURTHER SOUTH.  AT THIS POINT...THE MINOR DISCREPANCY ON THE
TRACK BETWEEN THE MODELS DOES NOT HAVE MUCH OF AN EFFECT ON THE
SENSIBLE WEATHER.  EITHER WAY...A SNOW STORM IS IN STORE FOR US ON
SATURDAY.  ONCE THE CURRENT STORM IS OVER...MORE DETAILS WILL COME
ON THE SATURDAY STORM.  AT THIS POINT...IT DOES LOOK LIKE A PLOWABLE
SNOW.

BEGINNING SUNDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE TO LONG TERM MODELS DEVELOP
SOME FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES.  BECAUSE OF THIS AND THE
CONTINUING ICE STORM...HAVE BLENDED THE LATEST GFS WITH THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST.  GENERALLY SPEAKING...SUNDAY LOOKS QUIET WITH HIGH
PRESSURE FOR AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE DAY.  THEN MONDAY AND
TUESDAY...ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
ICING LINE /FZRA AND PL/ SHIFTING FARTHER INLAND AS OF 13Z INTO NE
CT...FAR NW RI AND NE MA. LEFTOVER PL SHOULD END AT KBOS SHORTLY.
EXPECT FZRA/PL LINE TO HEAD A LITTLE FARTHER INLAND WITH CHANGE TO
RAIN AT KBDL AROUND 18Z. KORH/KBAF/KMHT EXPECTED TO TRANSITION TO
FZRA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND MAINTAIN ICING THREAT THROUGH DAY.
SURFACE LOW LOCATED OVER SOUTHERN NJ AT 13Z.

LLWS A CONCERN FOR KACK STARTING 18Z DUE TO 60KT SW LLJ.

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...VFR.  W SFC WIND GUSTS 20-30 KTS.

FRIDAY NIGHT...VFR DIMINISHING TO MVFR/IFR IN SNOW.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...NORTHEAST WINDS INCREASE TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS
TODAY...WITH A PERIOD OF EASTERLY GALES POSSIBLE SOUTH AND EAST OF
NANTUCKET. IT IS MARGINAL AND BRIEF...SO NO GALE WARNING POSTED FOR
TODAY. WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THIS THOUGH.

A BREAK IN THE WIND EXPECTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY THIS
EVENING...THEN WEST WINDS WILL INCREASE AS A COASTAL LOW MOVES NORTH.
ANOTHER PERIOD OF GALE FORCE WINDS EXPECTED TONIGHT. COULD EVEN SEE
STORM FORCE GUSTS...BUT CONFIDENCE NOT EVEN HIGH ENOUGH FOR A STORM
WATCH AT THIS POINT. WILL ISSUE A GALE WARNING FOR ALL WATERS EXCEPT
BOSTON HARBOR AND NARRAGANSETT BAY...WHERE A GALE WATCH IS IN EFFECT
INSTEAD.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY..

THURSDAY...SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS 25 TO 35KTS SHIFT TO WESTERLY IN THE

SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  WESTERLY WINDS 25 TO 30 KTS WITH GUSTS TO
