AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1147 AM EST WED JAN 14 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A VERY COLD AIRMASS HAS ARRIVED. EVEN COLDER AIR ARRIVES EARLY FRIDAY
FOLLOWING THURSDAYS CLIPPER LOW GENERALLY LIGHT SNOWFALL. COLD AIR
WILL LINGER INTO THE WEEKEND WITH PERIODS OF SNOW PROBABLE...ESPECIALLY
IF ANOTHER COASTAL LOW DEVELOPS ALONG THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COAST.
SEVERAL DAYS OF SEASONABLY DRY JANUARY WEATHER MAY BE DEVELOPING
SOMETIME EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 9 PM THIS EVENING/...
TEMP/DEWPOINT TREND GRIDS UPDATED SLIGHTLY AT 11 AM AND WE THINK WE
ARE ON TREND TARGET.

MWN WET BULB -22F AT 9 AM. WELL LOOK FOR MAX TEMPS NEAR 20F AT BOS
OR GENERALLY WITHIN 2F OF THIS MORNINGS 12 HR MIN TEMPS /12Z/ AS
REPORTED IN THE 727AM RTPBOX.

THE REST OF THE DAY WILL FEATURE TEMPERATURES A GOOD 15 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE FOR MUCH OF THE DAY.

WINDS WILL BE DIMINISHING THIS AFTN AS FCST.

HIGH CLOUDS INCREASE DURING THE AFTERNOON AS A CLIPPER SYSTEM APPROACHES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /9 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
EARLY TONIGHT...CLOUDS WILL RAPIDLY THICKEN ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND THIS EVENING IN ADVANCE OF A CLIPPER SYSTEM. SHOULD BE A NICE
EVENING...CALM BUT COLD. TEMPS SHOULDN/T BE ABLE TO RADIATE STRONGLY
OVERNIGHT DUE TO THE EXPECTED CLOUD COVER.

THE 1136 AM KBOX FCST HAS NOW BEEN ADJUSTED AND WE ARE LIKELY TO
ISSUE AN ADVY FOR PTNS OF SNE AT 330 PM...BASED ON FURTHER REVIEW OF
NEW 12Z UK AND ECMWF. ADVYS LIKELY FOR N CT RI AND SE MASS 10Z TO 18Z
THU.

POPS WERE BOOSTED FOR THE PERIOD 08Z-20Z THURSDAY FOR A WDSPRD 1-4
INCH SNOW...ISOLATED 5 POSSIBLE RI TO CAPE COD. MORE AT 4 PM. THIS
MAKES FOR A SLIPPERY THURSDAY MORNING COMMUTE...ESP BDL CEF TO PVD

12Z NGM IS WETTER WITH MORE NE FLOW. NAM CONTS WITH ITS PREV QPF.
12Z GFS IS RIGHT THERE. ALL OUR GRIDS OF POPS...HOURLY SNOWFALL AND
HOURLY QPF HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED LATE TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. CHC S+ IS IN
THE FCST NOW. LEGACY MAY NOT PICK IT UP BUT POINT AND CLICK WILL.

09Z/14 SREF IS BIASED WAYY TOO LOW IN MY OPINION.

YDYS 13/09Z SREF WAS EXCELLENT FOR LASTS NIGHT I95 EASTWARD RAIN AS
WERE THE COMBINED 12Z/13 EC/NAM/GFS/UKMET... YET THE 18Z NCEP SUITE
WAS LESS USEFUL AS ITS SOLUTIONS WERE DISPARATE AND THE 15Z SREF WAS
ALSO WORSE ON PROBS FOR .01 LAST NIGHT. THAT IS SAID TO JUSTIFY MY
DEPARTURE FROM SREF POPS.

ADDITIONALLY...THE 06Z/14 GFS AND 12Z/14 NAM CONT TO SHOW QUITE A
BIT OF FGEN WITH -EPV OVERLAYED 12Z THRU 18Z THURSDAY. I THINK WE
WILL SEE QUITE A NICE SNOW BURST THURSDAY MORNING. THAT INCLUDES THE
POTENTIAL FOR 1-2 HRS OF 1/2MI MDT OR VERY BRIEF 1/4 S+ SOMEWHERE IN
THE 10Z-14Z TIME FRAME N CT...SW MA AND THEN 13Z TO 19Z TIME FRAME
FOR PVD TO CAPE COD.

SNOW WILL BE TAPERING OFF DURING THE LATE MORNING WEST AND EARLY- MID
AFTERNOON MOST OF THE SOUTHEAST.

THU NIGHT...CONFIDENCE ON A BIG BITE OF ARCTIC AIR MAY BE DECREASING
SLIGHTLY. IF THIS THINKING IS CORRECT...THE RISK OF WIND CHILL ADVISORIES
ETC WILL LESSEN FOR EARLY FRIDAY. TOO MANY COMPLICATIONS DEVELOPING
UPSTREAM THAT ARE SIPHONING ENERGY AWAY FROM A HUGE OUTBREAK. IT WILL
BE COLD BUT NOT QUITE AS COLD AS THE GFS 2M HAS BEEN POUNDING US
WITH. NO CHANGE IN FCST ATTM BUT AM HESITATING

ALL MODELS SHOW A PACKED PRESSURE GRADIENT TRAILING. THIS WOULD BE
OMINOUS FOR STRONG WINDS...BUT PRESSURE RISES ARE SO-SO AND AVERAGE
ABOUT 1 MB PER HOUR. LOW LEVEL WIND FORECAST DATA SUGGESTS EVENING
SPEEDS NO HIGHER THAN THE TEENS WITH A MIXING POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS
AROUND 25 OR 30 KNOTS. THE BEST CHANCE OF THIS WIND WOULD BE IN
SOUTHEAST MASS AND POSSIBLY RHODE ISLAND. ANY WIND SHOULD NOT
LAST...AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION OVERNIGHT AND
DIMINISHES THE PRESSURE GRADIENT. WE HAVE ADJUSTED WIND GRIDS
ACCORDINGLY.

THE WIND DRAWS IN EVEN COLDER AIR WITH 900 MB TEMPS -20C TO
-22C...WHICH WOULD ONLY SUPPORT *HIGH* TEMPERATURES IN THE SINGLE
NUMBERS AND MID TEENS. 00Z/14 UKMET SEEMS TO BE HOLDING BACK.

WIND CHILL WILL STILL BE A CONCERN MAINLY FOR THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE
THE WIND DIMINISHES. VALUES LOOK TO NEAR -15F NORTH OF THE MASS PIKE
EARLY IN THE NIGHT. EVEN WITHOUT THE WIND...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH
FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BE QUITE COLD.

OCEAN EFFECT...WITH SUCH COLD TEMPS MOVING OVER THE 4-5C WATER...WE
CAN EXPECT OCEAN EFFECT CLOUDS AND SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE WATERS
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY WITH A SMALL CHANCE OF SNOW CLIPPING THE
OUTER CAPE THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MOST OF THE LONG TERM FEATURES THE SAME LARGE SCALE PATTERN...UPPER
RIDGE OVER THE WEST COAST AND A DEEP UPPER TROF OVER THE EAST.  SOME
SIGNS OF THIS BREAKING AFTER DAY 7...BUT CONFIDENCE IS ZERO ON ANY
DETERMINISTIC FORECAST THAT FAR OUT.

FRIDAY...UKMET AND ECMWF ARE OFFERING SOME SORT OF SNOW THREAT FRI
AND THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED IN THE AFTN FCST.

NEXT PRIMARY SYSTEM...THE NEXT CLIPPER COMES OUT OF THE PLAINS SATURDAY.
THE ARRAY OF MODELS AGREE ON THE EVENT...BUT DISAGREE ON PLACEMENT
AND TRACK. WE ADJUSTED OUR GRID DATA TOWARD THE ECMWF. THIS HAS HIGH
PRESSURE OVER US SATURDAY AND BRINGS THE OVERRUNNING SHIELD OVER US
SUNDAY MORNING. PTYPE WILL DEPEND ON THE TRACK...THE ECMWF BRINGS
WARMER AIR BACK TO AT LEAST EASTERN SECTIONS AT THE HEIGHT OF THE
STORM WHILE THE GFS HAS A MORE NORTHERLY TRACK WHILE KEEPING DEEP
COLD AIR IN PLACE. WE WILL GO WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW FOR SUNDAY.

WITH THE UPPER TROF STILL IN PLACE MONDAY-TUESDAY WE WILL GO WITH AT
LEAST SOME CLOUDS BUT HOLD ANY POPS TO THE HILLS.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
TODAY...VFR. GUSTY W/NW WINDS 20 29 KTS EARLY THIS AFTN THEN SUBSIDE.

TONIGHT...VFR WILL LOWER TO IFR CONDS IN SNOW TOWARD DAWN BDL TO PVD
TO ACK.

THURSDAY...LOWERING TO MVFR/IFR IN SNOW...ESPECIALLY BDL/PVD/FMH/HYA/ACK.
SLIGHTLY BETTER CONDITIONS EXPECTED ORH TO BOS ALTHOUGH A BRIEF PERIOD
OF IFR MAY OCCUR.

THURSDAY NIGHT...VFR WITH A BRISK EVENING NORTHWEST WIND. BITTER
CHILL FOR OUTDOOR AIRPORT OPERATIONS. OCEAN EFFECT CLOUDS AND SNOW
SHOWERS OFFSHORE BUT COULD CLIP OUTER CAPE COD /PVC AND CQX/.

OUTLOOK /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...

FRIDAY...VFR EXCEPT FOR LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS OFF THE OUTER CAPE
AND ISLANDS.

SATURDAY...VFR

SUNDAY...MVFR EARLY THEN MVFR/IFR IN SNOW.

&&

.MARINE...
THIS AFTERNOON...GALE HEADLINE DISCONTINUED. WINDS GRADUALLY SUBSIDE THIS
AFTERNOON. LIGHT FREEZING SPRAY HAS BEEN OCCURRING OVER THE CW WATERS
SINCE ABOUT SUNRISE.

TONIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD SO RELATIVELY TRANQUIL CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED.

THURSDAY...CLIPPER SYSTEM PASSES TO THE SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND.
MARGINAL NORTHERLY GALES MAY DEVELOP LATER IN THE DAY AS THE SYSTEM
PASSES TO THE SOUTH. FREEZING SPRAY IS LIKELY LATER IN THE DAY.

OUTLOOK.../THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THURSDAY EVENING...GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS TRAILING THE DEPARTING
CLIPPER.  WINDS ALOFT SHOW POTENTIAL MIXING OF 30 KNOT GUSTS TO THE
SURFACE.  THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY OF A LOW-END NORTHWEST
GALE...FOR NOW WE WILL FORECAST SMALL-CRAFT ADVISORY WINDS.

PLENTY OF COLD AIR MOVING OVER THE WATERS THURSDAY NIGHT.  OCEAN
EFFECT CLOUDS AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL EXTEND EAST OF THE COAST FROM
MASSACHUSETTS BAY AROUND THE OUTER CAPE AND ISLANDS.  FREEZING SPRAY
WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN THURSDAY NIGHT CONTINUING THROUGH FRIDAY
NIGHT.

INCREASING WIND SUNDAY AS ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVES OVER THE WATERS.  LOW
CONFIDENCE ON THE EXACT TRACK AT THIS TIME...BUT WINDS SHOULD REACH
AT LEAST SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS.
