AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
355 PM EST TUE DEC 8 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG STORM WILL AFFECT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WEDNESDAY WITH MIXED
PRECIPITATION AND A PERIOD OF STRONG WINDS ON THE COAST.  BLUSTERY
AND CHILLY WEATHER WILL FOLLOW THURSDAY INTO EARLY NEXT NEXT WEEK.
A PERIOD OF RAIN AND OR SNOW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE ON SUNDAY IN
ASSOCIATION WITH A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 9 PM THIS EVENING/...
1110AM: NO HAZARD CHANGES AT MIDDAY. WE DID RCV ONE MEDIA REQUEST FOR
CONSIDERING AN UPGRADE OR ISSUANCE OF A WXA. WE THINK THERE IS ENOUGH
TIME TO ISSUE ADVISORIES OR WARNINGS AT 4PM. WE RUN COMPLEX TOOLS TO
GENERATE OUR GRIDS WHICH TAKE CONSIDERABLE TIME TO EMPLOY. FROM
THOSE...WE IN TURN GENERATE OUR AUTOMATED WORDED FORECASTS. WE WOULD
LIKE TO BALANCE OUR APPROACH USING ALL THE STANDARD MODEL GUIDANCE
INCLUDING NON NCEP GUIDANCE.

IN THIS CASE...I AM CONCERNED ABOUT CONTD NAM COLDNESS AND PREFER A
WARM SOLN WITH A STRONG PRIMARY LOW TO OUR WEST. IN ALL LIKELIHOOD WE
WILL RUN 50 50 BLENDS OF THE 12Z NAM/GFS PARTIAL THICKNESSES AND USE
THE UPCOMING 18Z HPC QPF.

NO MATTER...THE 11 AM HAZARD PRODUCTS ARE POSTED. EMPHASIZE A
DIFFICULT 3-6 HOUR PERIOD BETWEEN ROUGHLY 430AM AND 1030AM AND
WINTER WX IMPROVEMENT THEREAFTER.

WIND WATCH PROBLEMS NOW ADVERTISED FOR CC MIGHT ALSO OCCUR VCNTY BOS
AND GLOUCESTER.

847 AM: I KNOW I BUSTED LAST NIGHTS SHOWER FCST FOR CC WITH ONLY
TRACES AS IT APPEARS MEASURABLE SHOWERS DEVELOPED 30 MI TO THE E OF
THE MODELED GUIDANCE THAT I WAS RELYING UPON /GFS/SREF/NAM/RGEM.

YDYS MIN TEMP FCST VERIFIED FAIRLY WELL I95 CORRIDOR EAST BUT 3-5
WARMER THAN EXPECTED IN CT THIS MORNING AND 3-5 COLDER IN S NH AND NW
MA RADIATORS.

TEMPS HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED DOWNWARD THRU MID MORNING AND WE AGAIN MAY
BE UNDERCUTTING TEMPS DURING MIDDAY IN OUR 10 AM UPDATE.

WINDS WERE INCREASED THIS MORNING COASTAL MASS.

A NICE DAY AS HIGH PRES IN PA BUILDS NEWD INTO NEW ENGLAND.

NO UPDATES EXPECTED FOR THE WSW/NPW ETC IN THE 10 AM PACKAGE.
STILL MONITORING FOR CFA BOS TO NBT AND FOX PT RI WED AFTN. CURRENT
FCST SNOW MAP ON OUR HPAGE IS VERY CLOSE TO 03Z SREF WINTER WX IMPACT
GRAPHICS AND THE 05Z INTERNAL WWD COLLAB.

&&

.SHORT TERM /9 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
*** VARIETY OF IMPACTS FORESEEN WED ***

SKYWARN ACTIVATION ANTICIPATED FROM 5 AM TO 5 PM ON WEDNESDAY.

STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE HEADING TO GREAT LAKES WILL BRING SEVERAL
CONCERNS TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND INCLUDING BRIEFLY HEAVY SNOW TO
MUCH OF REGION FOR MORNING COMMUTE...STRONG AND POSSIBLY DAMAGING
WINDS TO CAPE COD AND ISLANDS AND GALE FORCE WINDS TO COASTAL
WATERS. MINOR COASTAL FLOODING IS ALSO A CONCERN WITH WED HIGH
TIDE.

WINTRY WX...
ALTHOUGH THERE ARE DIFFERENCES AMONG MODELS WITH REGARD TO TIMING
AND AMOUNT OF WARMING WHICH DICTATES PRECIPITATION TYPE...ALL ARE
SHOWING POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST A PERIOD OF HEAVY SNOW ACROSS INTERIOR
WED MORNING BEFORE A TRANSITION TO SLEET/FREEZING RAIN AND FINALLY
RAIN IN THE AFTERNOON. THIS DOES NOT HAVE MAKINGS OF A SIGNIFICANT
ICE STORM BUT THERE SHOULD BE SOME ICING DURING TRANSITION.

TEMPERED FASTER GFS TIMING WITH SLOWER NAM...SINCE GFS LOOKS TOO FAST
WITH DRY LOW LEVEL AIR IN PLACE AND NAM APPEARS TO BE TOO SLOW. THIS
BRINGS SNOW INTO CT VALLEY 3-5 AM AND TO E COAST 5-7 AM. STAYED CLOSE
TO HPC QPF.

THERE ARE STILL A FEW RED FLAGS WHICH LEAD TO LOWER CONFIDENCE THAN
USUAL. AIR MASS IN PLACE WILL NOT BE UNUSUALLY COLD... AND WITH
INCREASING ONSHORE FLOW IT WON/T TAKE MUCH TO WARM THINGS UP. IN
ADDITION...MAIN SURFACE LOW TRACKS TO OUR W WITH ONLY A HINT OF
SECONDARY REDEVELOPMENT TO MAINTAIN COLD AIR. WAVE ALOFT REMAINS OPEN
WHICH MEANS A MORE PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM...AND SW FLOW SHOULD ALLOW FOR
RAPID WARMING ALOFT...POTENTIALLY CUTTING DOWN ON SNOWFALL AMOUNTS.

00Z NAM REMAINS COLDEST OF MODELS...ALTHOUGH GFS/RGEM/ECMWF NOT FAR
BEHIND. NAM/GFS CROSS SECTIONS SHOW GOOD MESOSCALE BANDING SIGNATURE
AS WELL AS DECENT SNOW GROWTH ACROSS INTERIOR. EVEN CLOSER TO
COAST... STRONG DYNAMICS CAN COMPENSATE FOR LOW LEVEL WARMING. NOTED
21Z SREF PROBS WHICH HAVE INCREASED FOR 8 INCHES ACROSS MUCH OF
INTERIOR. SREFS ALSO SHOW POTENTIAL FOR 1-2/HR SNOWFALL RATES AND
LOW VISIBILITY DURING WED MORNING COMMUTE.

GIVEN TRENDS IN SREF/OPERATIONAL MODELS WE HAVE TRENDED FORECAST A
BIT COLDER AND WITH SOMEWHAT HIGHER ACCUMULATIONS. THESE TYPES OF
SYSTEMS CAN BE NOTORIOUS FOR PRODUCING SIGNIFICANT SNOWS AT THE
START...YET AT SAME TIME AMOUNTS CAN BE OVER FORECAST DUE TO RAPID
MID LEVEL WARMING. HOWEVER WE DO HAVE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO ISSUE
WINTER STORM WATCHES FOR SW NH AND NW/CENTRAL/INTERIOR NE MA. WE ALSO
CONSIDERED WATCH A LITTLE FARTHER S /HARTFORD SPRINGFIELD/ DUE TO
IMPACT ON THE MORNING COMMUTE...BUT DECIDED TO HOLD OFF GIVEN LOWER
CONFIDENCE.

WE ARE FAIRLY CONFIDENT IN A WIDESPREAD ADVISORY-LEVEL EVENT ADJACENT
TO WATCH AREA /NORTHERN CT NORTHERN RI AND MUCH OF EASTERN MA/.

STRONG WINDS...
INCREASING SE LOW LEVEL JET OF 70+KT WILL HAVE A HARD TIME MIXING TO
SURFACE GIVEN WARM AIR ALOFT...BUT TIGHTENING GRADIENT SHOULD SUPPORT
AT LEAST ADVISORY LEVEL /40KT/ GUSTS ALONG IMMEDIATE COAST. WE WILL
ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR CAPE COD AND ISLANDS DUE TO POTENTIAL FOR
45-50KT GUSTS AND/OR WIND DAMAGE. GMOS INDICATES 50+KT GUSTS WED
AFTERNOON WHICH MAY BE OVERDONE...OUTPUT FROM MIXING HEIGHT SHOWS
40-45KT GUSTS MORE LIKELY. HOWEVER GIVEN SOME UNCERTAINTY WE OPTED
FOR WATCH AT THIS TIME.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...
SHORT RANGE MODELS THROUGH THURSDAY SHOWING FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT AS
LOW PRES PUSHES INTO THE MARITIMES...WITH MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES
POURING INTO THE REGION LEADING INTO THE WEEKEND AS W WINDS CRANK UP.

EXPECT MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION...BUT THERE WILL
DEFINITELY BE A MORE WINTRY FEEL. WITH THE STRONG LOW LAYING ACROSS
EASTERN AND CENTRAL CANADA AND HIGH PRES ACROSS THE MID ATLC...
RATHER STRONG W-NW WINDS WILL PUMP COLD AIR ACROSS THE REGION. BOTH
925 AND 850 HPA HAVE STRONG WIND MAXIMAS MOVING ACROSS THE REGION...
KICKING IN WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND RUNNING THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY. H85
TEMPS CONTINUALLY FALL AS WELL...DROPPING TO -16C TO -18C BY 12Z
FRIDAY.

WITH THE STRONG W WINDS THROUGH THE LOWER LEVELS AND EXCELLENT
TRAJECTORY ACROSS NY STATE...EXPECT CONVEYOR BELT OF SNOW SHOWERS
OFF LAKE ONTARIO TO CROSS NY STATE INTO W MA/SW NH WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND THURSDAY. HAVE MENTIONED CHANCE POPS INTO THE E SLOPES OF THE
BERKSHIRES INTO SW NH...POSSIBLY REACHING THE HARTFORD/SPRINGFIELD
AREAS INTO S CENTRAL NH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. COULD SEE ANOTHER BATCH
FRIDAY NIGHT...THOUGH NOT QUITE AS MUCH COVERAGE...POSSIBLY REACHING
INTO WESTERN FRANKLIN AND CHESHIRE COUNTIES.

ON THURSDAY...TEMPS WILL ONLY RISE A FEW DEGS ABOVE WEDNESDAY NIGHTS
LOWS AS THE STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION WORKS IN...WITH HIGHS TOPPING
OFF CLOSE TO OR AS MUCH AS 5 DEGREES BELOW SEASONAL NORMS. OVERNIGHT
LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT WILL FALL TO THE TEENS AND 20S. HOWEVER...BY
FRIDAY...DAYTIME HIGHS WILL BE MUCH COLDER...STRUGGLING TO REACH THE
MID 30S ACROSS E MA EVEN ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS...BUT REMAINING
BELOW FREEZING ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF CENTRAL-W MA/S NH.
HOWEVER...WITH THE STRONG W WINDS...IT WILL FEEL MORE LIKE TEMPS IN
THE TEENS TO LOWER 20S.

SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST AND PROVIDE DRY
WEATHER THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.  TEMPERATURES WILL BE MILDER THAN ON
FRIDAY...BUT IT STILL WILL BE CHILLY.  EXPECT HIGHS ON SATURDAY TO
RANGE FROM THE MID TO UPPER 30S ACROSS THE INTERIOR...AND FROM
AROUND 40 TO THE LOWER 40S ON THE COASTAL PLAIN.

SUNDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE MOVING OFF THE COAST WILL RESULT IN WARM AIR ADVECTION
AND SOME MID LEVEL LIFT.  THIS MAY RESULT IN A PERIOD OF SNOW
SHOWERS ACROSS THE INTERIOR...BUT AMOUNTS AT THIS POINT LOOK LIGHT.
BOUNDARY LAYER MAY BECOME WARM ENOUGH ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN FOR
RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS.  THERE ALSO IS A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE THAT IS
EXPECTED TO SCOOT OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST.  AT THIS POINT...THE
UPPER LEVEL FLOW DOES NOT LOOK AMPLIFIED TO BRING THE STORM CLOSE
ENOUGH TO THE COAST FOR A SIGNIFICANT STORM IN SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND.  IN FACT...THE MODELS GENERATE MOST OF THE LIGHT QPF IN THE
WARM AIR ADVECTION PATTERN.  HOWEVER...THIS IS A DAY 5 FORECAST AND
WILL CERTAINLY HAVE TO KEEP OUR OPTIONS OPENED FOR A TRACK CLOSER TO
THE COAST THAN CURRENTLY EXPECTED.  FOR NOW JUST RAN WITH SOME
CHANCE POPS FOR A PERIOD OF RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS ON SUNDAY.

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...
A COLD FRONT LOOKS TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION SOMETIME SUNDAY
NIGHT OR MONDAY...BUT THE MODELS DIFFER A BIT ON THE TIMING. EITHER
WAY...CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM TO HIGH THAT A SHOT OF COLD AIR WILL WORK
IN BEHIND THE FRONT.  A FEW PASSING RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS ARE CERTAINLY
POSSIBLE WITH THE FRONT SUNDAY NIGHT OR MONDAY...BUT JUST WENT WITH
A 20 POP AS MOISTURE WILL BE LACKING.  OTHERWISE...EXPECT MAINLY DRY
AND COLD WEATHER FOR MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY.

ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPING OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST
MAY THREATEN THE REGION WITH SNOW OR MIXED PRECIPITATION BEGINNING
TUESDAY NIGHT.  HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE AND TIMING THIS FAR OUT IS LOW.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
TODAY...VFR FOR ALL TAF SITES. 3000 FT CIGS OUTER CAPE COD THROUGH
EARLY AFTN....CQX TO PVC. NW WIND 10-20 KT CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS
THIS MORNING.

MID AND HIGH CLOUDS BEGIN TO INCREASE W PTN THIS AFTN BUT CIGS AOA
15KFT EXPECTED THROUGH 06Z WED.

CIGS LOWER STEADILY 08Z-12Z WED AS SNOW OVERSPREADS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. KBDL/KBAF/KORH LIKELY TO BECOME IFR/LIFR TOWARD 12Z...
WHILE MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED ELSEWHERE.

MVFR/IFR LIKELY WED WITH LIFR ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN. BEST ESTIMATES
ON TIMING FOR SOME SITES...

KBOS/KPVD...SNOW CHANGES TO RAIN BY 14Z. 1-2 INCH ACCUM.
KBDL...SNOW CHANGES TO FZRA/PL BY 14Z THEN TO RAIN BY 16Z. 3-5 INCH

AREAS. W WINDS GUSTING TO 30-35 KT DURING THE DAY... DIMINISHING TO
AROUND 25 KT AT NIGHT.

FRIDAY...VFR. LOCAL MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN -SHSN INVOF NORTHERN
BERKSHIRES INTO SW NH. W WINDS GUSTING TO AROUND 30 KT ALONG THE
COAST AND ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN N CENTRAL AND NW MA/S NH.

SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...MAINLY VFR.

SUNDAY...A PERIOD OF MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN RAIN AND OR

.MARINE...
GALE WARNINGS ALL WATERS WED...THOUGH IT IS POSSIBLE GUSTS REACH
STORM FORCE.

OTRW...SCA CONDS THIS MORNING PORTIONS OF THE WATERS SUPERSEDED BY
THE GALE WARNING. DIMINISHING WINDS AND SEAS MIDDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS ACROSS WATERS.

E/NE WINDS INCREASE LATE TONIGHT AND SHOULD REACH GALE FORCE AROUND
OR JUST AFTER DAYBREAK WED. STRONGEST WINDS EXPECTED FROM LATE
MORNING INTO AFTERNOON...BEFORE SHIFTING TO SW /S COAST/ AND
DIMINISHING SOMEWHAT.

OUTLOOK /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...

WEDNESDAY NIGHT...W WINDS INCREASE TO GALE FORCE WITH GUSTS
APPROACHING 40 KT. USED A BLEND OF THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AND BOTH
THE WNA WAVEWATCH MODELS /INCLUDING THE HURRICANE VERSION/. FEEL
SEAS WILL BE HIGHER THAN DEPICTED BY WNA ALONE. SEAS COULD APPROACH
15 KT ON THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS.

THURSDAY...GALE FORCE WINDS CONTINUE WITH GUSTS UP TO 40-45 KT. SEAS
UP TO 10-15 FT.

FRIDAY...W WINDS CONTINUE AT GALE FORCE. SEAS SLOWLY SUBSIDE...BUT
STILL UP TO 10-12 FT.

SATURDAY...WESTERLY FLOW SHOULD YIELD SCA WIND GUSTS ACROSS MOST OF
OUR WATERS.  IN ADDITION...SEAS 5 FEET OR HIGHER ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE ACROSS THE OUTER-WATERS.

SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD DROP BELOW SCA
CONDITIONS FOR A TIME AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE
WATERS.  WINDS AND SEAS MAY PICKUP ONCE AGAIN LATER SUNDAY OR SUNDAY
NIGHT BEHIND A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE COLD AIR ADVECTION PATTERN.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
PRECIPITATION TOTALS /MOSTLY RAIN/ OF 1 TO 1.5 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE
NEAR COAST BY WED EVENING. WHILE THIS MAY RESULT IN URBAN AND POOR
DRAINAGE FLOODING...ESPECIALLY NEAR S COAST...MAINSTEM RIVERS ARE
EXPECTED TO REMAIN WITHIN THEIR BANKS.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
SE GRADIENT RAISES RISK OF MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG MAINLY SE
FACING COASTLINES DURING THE WED AFTERNOON HIGH TIDE. ETSS OUTPUT
GIVES ABOUT 1.5 FT ALONG THE MA E FACING COAST AND 2 TO 3 FT ALONG
THE S FACING COASTS OF RI AND BUZZARDS BAY. RECOGNIZING THAT THE
SURGE FROM THE ETSS TENDS TO BE CONSERVATIVE...WE HAVE ADDED A FEW
TENTHS TO HALF A FOOT TO THE MODEL VALUES. THE STRONGEST GRADIENT
LOOKS TO COINCIDE CLOSELY WITH THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE ALONG BOTH THE
S COAST AND E COAST OF MA...EVEN THOUGH THE HIGH TIDE TIMES
THEMSELVES ARE DIFFERENT. WAVES OF 10 TO 15 FT NOT TOO FAR OFFSHORE
WILL YIELD A SPLASH OVER RISK ALONG THE EXPOSED COASTLINES. UPPER
NARRAGANSETT BAY COULD GET CLOSE TO MODERATE...SO A CHANCE THAT THE
ADVISORY MAY HAVE TO BE UPGRADED THERE. ONE SPECIAL CASE IS
PROVINCETOWN HARBOR. WOULD NOT EXPECT A SE WIND TO GENERATE MUCH
SURGE THERE BUT ONCE THE WIND SHIFTS TO SSW...THEN COULD SEE A
SUDDEN SURGE OF PERHAPS 1.5 FEET OR SO AND AN ONSHORE WIND FOR
SPLASH OVER ALONG THE HARBOR FRONT.
