AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1243 PM EST WED JAN 21 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SE U.S.A. IS THE DOMINATING INFLUENCE THROUGH
EARLY FRI AND PERMITS A SLIGHT WARMING TREND THU AND FRI. LOW PRESSURE
WILL LIKELY PASS ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND FRI NIGHT. EVER COLDER
HIGH PRES CENTERS FOLLOW INTO NEW ENGLAND THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK...POSSIBLY SANDWICHED AROUND A WEAK LOW SCOOTING EASTWARD OFF
THE MID ATLC COAST SUN NIGHT OR MON.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
LAST OF THE SNOW SHOWERS HAVE MOVED OFFSHORE. LOTS OF SUNSHINE WILL
GIVE WAY TO INCREASING CLOUD COVER W ZONES THIS AFTERNOON AS WEAK
WAA DEVELOPS. IR SATELLITE LOOP SHOWS CLOUDS ADVANCING EWD TOWARD
SNE. MIGHT BE SOME VIRGA AROUND THIS AFTN AND CANT RULE OUT AN ISOLD
FLURRY LATE IN THE DAY HIGHER TERRAIN NW MA AND SW NH WHERE MOISTURE
IS DEEPEST.

TEMPS WILL RUN 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL WITH MAXES UPPER TEENS
TO MID 20S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
TONIGHT...A BAND OF CLOUDS SWEEPS ACROSS SNE AND APPEARS WK WAA IS
UNDERWAY.

THU...WK WAA GUSTY WLY FLOW WITH DECENT SUNSHINE. GUSTS FROM THE GFS
GUST ALG UTILIZING THE NAM MXG HTS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
UPPER FLOW BECOMES MORE ZONAL THU NIGHT INTO FRI ALLOWING FOR
MODERATION IN TEMPERATURE.

EXPECT CLOUDS TO INCREASE FRI AHEAD OF NEXT SYSTEM...WHICH 00Z
MODELS/SREF/GEFS TRACK ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND FRI NIGHT INTO
SAT. BEST DYNAMICS STAY N OF OUR AREA ALONG WITH DEEPER MOISTURE...BUT
IT/S CERTAINLY POSSIBLE WE WILL SEE SOME SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS OVER
OUR NH ZONES AND FLURRIES ELSEWHERE PRIOR TO THE PASSAGE OF COLD
FRONT SAT.

STRONG COLD ADVECTION FOLLOWS IN WAKE OF SYSTEM LATE SAT AND
ESPECIALLY SAT NIGHT. 00Z GMOS LOOKS MUCH TOO WARM FOR BOTH PERIODS
WHEN COMPARED WITH GFS 850 MB AND 2M TEMPS...WHICH SUGGEST HIGHS IN
20S NORTH TO AROUND 30 SOUTH SAT AFTERNOON. READINGS SHOULD FALL
BELOW ZERO SAT NIGHT NORTH OF MASS PIKE AND W OF I-495...SOME SPOTS
COULD REACH -10F BY DAYBREAK SUN IF GFS IS CORRECT. HOWEVER 00Z ECMWF
DOES NOT HIT COLD AS HARD...WHICH IS A FLAG THAT GFS MAY BE OVERDOING
THINGS A BIT.

IT IS STILL POSSIBLE WE WILL MEET WIND CHILL ADVISORY CRITERIA SAT
NIGHT INTO SUN...THOUGH WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH RATHER QUICKLY AS
SURFACE RIDGE BUILDS INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. STRONGEST WINDS LOOK
TO OCCUR SAT AFTERNOON AND EVENING...PRIOR TO ARRIVAL OF COLD CORE.

POTENTIAL FOR OCEAN EFFECT IS LOW FOR CAPE COD AND ISLANDS DUE TO
STRONG W LOW LEVEL FLOW...WHICH SHOULD FOCUS ACTIVITY WELL OFFSHORE.

FOR SUN THROUGH TUE...LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY AND CONFIDENCE IS WELL
BELOW AVERAGE. MODELS HAVE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN THEIR HANDLING
OF UPPER RIDGE OVER WESTERN CANADA AND TROUGH HEADING INTO CA WHICH
HAS MAJOR IMPLICATIONS OVER EASTERN THIRD OF COUNTRY BY MIDWEEK.

POTENTIAL FOR SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION SUN INTO MON...THOUGH FOR
NEARLY COMPLETELY DIFFERENT REASONS AS GFS BRINGS A WEAK SURFACE
TROUGH AND SHORTWAVE THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WHILE ECMWF TAKES
AN INITIAL SYSTEM OFF MID ATLANTIC AND GRAZES OUR AREA AS IT PASSES
WELL TO SE. LEFT POPS AT SLIGHT CHANCE GIVEN LARGE MSLP SPREAD SHOWN
BY GEFS.

PROSPECTS FOR A MORE SIGNIFICANT SYSTEM BY DAY 7 AND BEYOND STILL
VERY MUCH UP FOR GRABS. GEFS POPS FOR UP TO 0.50 INCH IN 12 HRS ARE
FAIRLY HIGH S OF MASS PIKE SO WE LEFT CHANCE POPS FOR OUR SOUTHERN
ZONES. NEED TO MAINTAIN CONTINUITY FOR NOW AND KEEP ALL OPTIONS ON
TABLE.
