Area forecast discussion, Dec 31, 4:33 PM EST, 5 hours 30 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
433 PM EST WED DEC 31 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
FAST BUT INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK SOUTHEAST
OF NEW ENGLAND THIS EVENING. THIS WILL BRING STRONG TO DAMAGING WINDS THIS
EVENING TO CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS. THIS WILL COMBINE WITH VERY COLD
AIR FOR WIND CHILLS BELOW ZERO TONIGHT INTO NEW YEARS DAY. MUCH WEAKER
STORMS MAY AFFECT THE REGION LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY AND LATE SUNDAY
INTO MONDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE AT OR BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND...
THEN POSSIBLY MODERATING DURING THE EARLY TO MIDDLE PORTION OF NEXT
WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 4 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
SNOW IS DIMINISHING ACROSS THE FAR NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND AT 3 PM. EXPECT SNOW TO GRADUALLY TAPER OFF FROM
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST TOWARDS THE EVENING HOURS. EXPECT SNOW WILL
COME TO AN END ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN ZONES BY 6 PM AND TAPER OFF
EVERYWHERE EXCEPT THE CAPE AND ISLANDS BY 9 PM. WITH NORTHEASTERLY
TO NORTHERLY WINDS CONTINUING ACROSS THE CAPE AND ISLANDS...EXPECT
OCEAN EFFECT SNOW TO CONTINUE THERE INTO THE NIGHT.
AS THE SNOW COMES TO AN END OUR PRIORITY SHIFTS TO WINDS AND VERY
COLD TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT. THE SURFACE LOW IS JUST SOUTHEAST OF
NANTUCKET AT 3 PM AND CONTINUES TO DEEPEN. WE HAVE SEEN 8 TO 12MB
PER 3 HOURS PRESSURE FALLS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE LOW WILL
CONTINUE TO DEEPEN AS IT MOVES EASTWARD AND COMBINED WITH EXCELLENT
LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL RESULT IN STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS ACROSS
MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE OUT ON
THE CAPE AND ISLANDS WHERE THERE IS A HIGH WIND WARNING UP THROUGH 1
AM. IN ADDITION...WE HAVE ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE SOUTH
COAST OF MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLAND AS WELL AS COASTAL PLYMOUTH
COUNTIES FOR THE SAME TIME PERIOD. THESE AREAS ARE WHERE THE
STEEPEST LAPSE RATES AND STRONGEST WINDS COINCIDE. GUSTY WINDS ARE
EXPECTED ACROSS THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BUT ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO REACH WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA AT THIS TIME.
THESE STRONG WINDS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION
THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO THE
SINGLE DIGITS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. THESE COLD TEMPERATURES COMBINED
WITH STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL RESULT IN WIND CHILLS DROPPING BELOW
ZERO IN MOST LOCATIONS. WE ARE ISSUING A WIND CHILL ADVISORY WITH
THE AFTERNOON FORECAST PACKAGE FOR SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE...NORTHERN
CONNECTICUT...NORTHWEST RHODE ISLAND...AND PORTIONS OF MASSACHUSETTS
NORTH AND WEST OF 128. AREAS WE ARE PARTICULARLY CONCERNED ABOUT
ARE THE HIGHER TERRAIN AS WELL AS THE MERRIMACK VALLEY. WIND CHILLS
IN THESE AREAS ARE EXPECTED TO BE 15 TO 20 BELOW ZERO.
WHILE THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL HAVE DIMINISHED BY MIDNIGHT TO 1
AM...WINDS WILL BE SUFFICIENTLY STRONG ENOUGH WITH TEMPERATURES
DROPPING ENOUGH FOR WIND CHILLS OF THIS CALIBER TO CONTINUE THROUGH
THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF THE NEW YEAR. MORE INFORMATION CAN BE
FOUND IN THE NPW WIND ADVISORY/HIGH WIND WARNING AND IN THE WSW -
WIND CHILL ADVISORY PRODUCTS...AS WELL AS THE HWO - HAZARDOUS
WEATHER OUTLOOK.
&&
.SHORT TERM /4 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
THE NEW YEAR WILL HAVE A FRIGID START BUT WILL OTHERWISE BE FAIRLY
QUIET. TEMPERATURES WILL START OUT IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND THEN
CLIMB UP ONLY INTO THE MID TEENS TO LOWER 20S. WHILE IT WILL NOT BE
AS WINDY AS TONIGHT...IT WILL STILL BE BREEZY WITH NORTHWESTERLY
WINDS IN THE 10 TO 20 MPH RANGE.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
YESTERDAY THE STORMS IN OUR FUTURE WERE LINED UP ON THE RUNWAY AND
READY TO MOVE THROUGH AT 2 DAY INTERVALS. TODAY...THEY ARE STILL
LINED UP BUT LESS THREATENING IN APPEARANCE.
HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD THURSDAY NIGHT WILL MEAN QUIET WEATHER FOR
THE FIRST FULL NIGHT OF 2009. BUT MOISTURE MOVING IN AT AND ABOVE
700 MB POINTS TO INCREASING MID AND HIGH CLOUDS ESPECIALLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT.
ON FRIDAY A CLIPPER LOW RACES ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER. EARLIER
COMPUTER RUNS HINTED AT THIS LOW REDEVELOPING SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND
AND GIVING US ANOTHER SERIOUS AMOUNT OF SNOW. CURRENTLY THE TREND
POINTS TO THE LOW REDEVELOPING...BUT OFF THE MAINE COAST. THIS WILL
KEEP MOST OF THE LIFT AND MOISTURE IN NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. GFS AND
NAM TIME SECTIONS SHOW THE COLUMN MOISTENING AROUND MIDDAY OR EARLY
AFTERNOON BUT WITH VERY LIMITED QPF. WE CONTINUE WITH CHANCE POPS
AND LITTLE SNOW ACCUMULATION. SOME CONCERN WITH WINDS LEADING THE
LOW WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW OF 30 TO 35 KNOTS AT 900 AND 950 MB...COULD
BE STRONG WIND GUSTS ESPECIALLY OVER THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.
ANOTHER BLAST OF COLD AIR COMES BEHIND THIS SYSTEM FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY WITH 850 MB TEMPS DROPPING TO -18C BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
PRESSURE CHANGES OF 4-6 MB PER 6 HOURS MOVE THROUGH DURING SATURDAY
WHICH SHOULD BRING BRISK SUSTAINED WINDS AROUND 20 KNOTS. ENOUGH
COLD ADVECTION IS EXPECTED TO MIX WINDS DOWN FROM AT LEAST 900 MB
AND POSSIBLY 850 MB...MEANING GUSTS OF 30 TO 35 KNOTS.
THE COLD AIR AND WINDS WILL ALSO GENERATE OCEAN EFFECT CLOUDS AND
SNOW SHOWERS...WITH THE FETCH FAVORING AREAS JUST OUTSIDE OF THE
OUTER CAPE.
LOW PRESSURE COMES OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS SUNDAY LIGHT PRECIP
CROSSING NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY NIGHT. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF MOVE MOST
OF THE SUPPORT FOR THIS LOW THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES INTO CANADA WITH
JUST A FEW REMNANTS FOR US. SO LITTLE QPF IS EXPECTED. PTYPE IS
ALSO A QUESTION MARK WITH A MIXTURE POSSIBLE...LOW CONFIDENCE ON
THIS PART OF THE FORECAST.
THE MORE DISTANT PART OF THE FORECAST SHOWS A SOUTHERN STREAM TROF
GENERATING A GULF LOW TUESDAY. THE SYSTEM THEN PHASES WITH THE
NORTHERN STREAM AND THE SURFACE LOW THEN MOVES UP THE COAST. WE
HAVE CHANCE POPS TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. WILL HAVE TO SEE HOW
CONSISTENT THE TREATMENT OF THIS PROPOSED STORM WILL BE OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS.
&&
.AVIATION /22Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
REST OF TODAY...MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW WINDING DOWN WEST OF A LINE
FROM KAFN-KIJD. LIGHT SNOW CONTINUES ACROSS THIS AREA...AND IS
EXPECTED TO END BY 22Z. FARTHER EAST...MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE UNTIL 22Z...THEN START TO TAPER OFF. NORTH WINDS
INCREASING THIS AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS UP TO 40 KT.
TONIGHT...MVFR-IFR IMPROVING TO VFR...EXCEPT ACROSS CAPE COD WHERE
OCEAN-EFFECT SNOW BANDS DEVELOP EARLY. NW WIND GUSTING TO 40-55 KT
ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS THROUGH AT LEAST 06Z...WITH GUSTS TO
40 KT ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN AREAS. WINDS WILL DIMINISH ACROSS
WESTERN AREAS AFTER MIDNIGHT.
THURSDAY...VFR WITH GUSTY NW WINDS UP TO 30 KT.
OUTLOOK...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...
THURSDAY NIGHT...VFR WITH HIGH CLOUDS.
FRIDAY...VFR WITH AREAS OF MVFR IN SNOW SHOWERS.
SATURDAY...VFR WITH BRISK NORTHWEST WINDS.
SUNDAY...VFR WITH POSSIBLE PERIOD OF MVFR SUNDAY NIGHT.
MONDAY...VFR WITH POSSIBLE PERIOD OF MVFR IN MIXED PRECIP MONDAY
MORNING.
&&
.MARINE...
THIS AFTERNOON...STORM WARNINGS ARE UP FOR ALL THE COASTAL WATERS EXCEPT
NARRAGANSETT BAY AND BOSTON HARBOR. EXPECT WIND GUSTS ON THE
BACKSIDE OF THE LOW TO EXCEED 50 KT...POSSIBLY REACHING 60 KT. WINDS
WILL BACK FROM NE TO N AS HIGHEST WINDS COMMENCE...SO SEAS WILL BE
HIGH BUT BLOWING MAINLY OFFSHORE.
TONIGHT...GALE TO STORM FORCE WINDS TO CONTINUE THROUGH A CHUNK OF
THE NIGHT...THEN START TO SLOWLY DIMINISH AFTER 06Z OR SO. SEAS WILL
BUILD UP TO 15 FT IN THE OUTER WATERS...BUT WITH AN OFFSHORE WIND...THIS
SHOULD NOT CREATE TOO MANY PROBLEMS.
THURSDAY...WINDS AND SEAS GRADUALLY DIMINISH THROUGH THE DAY.
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS 20 TO 30KTS WITH GUSTS TO 40 KTS ARE EXPECTED.
SEAS WILL DECREASE TO 5 TO 10 FEET ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS.
OUTLOOK...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...
WINDS DIMINISH THURSDAY EVENING WITH JUST LINGERING 5 FOOT SEAS ON
THE OUTER WATERS.
WINDS AND SEAS BUILD ONCE AGAIN ON FRIDAY IN INCREASING SOUTHWEST
FLOW. WIND GUSTS OF 30 TO 35 KNOTS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY ON THE
PROVINCETOWN TO MONTAUK WATERS AND POSSIBLY NANTUCKET SOUND.
WINDS SHIFT TO NORTHWEST EARLY SATURDAY AND INCREASE WITH GALES
LIKELY OVER MOST OF THE WATERS. WINDS WILL DIMINISH SATURDAY NIGHT
WITH LINGERING SMALL CRAFTS ON THE OUTER WATERS SUNDAY.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
DESPITE IMPRESSIVE COASTAL STORM DEVELOPING SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET
THIS AFTERNOON...STRONGEST WIND AND LARGEST SURGE WILL OCCUR DURING
LOW TIDE THIS EVENING. THIS TIMING WILL LIKELY PRECLUDE ANY COASTAL
FLOODING. HOWEVER...WITH A VERY STRONG N WIND AND FORECASTED SEAS UP
TO 9 FT INTO CAPE COD BAY...MAY SEE SOME MINOR SPLASHOVER FOR A TIME
TONIGHT FOR COMMUNITIES RIMMING CAPE COD BAY ON THE CAPE SIDE.
