AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
414 PM EDT SAT OCT 17 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRES EAST OF THE VIRGINIA CAPES WILL DEVELOP INTO A STRONG GALE
NOREASTER TONIGHT AS IT HEADS FOR CAPE MAY NJ THEN TURNS EAST ON
SUNDAY. IT WILL PASS SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE
SLOWLY DEPARTING MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY. A WEAK BACKDOOR COLD FRONT MAY PUSH THROUGH ON
THURSDAY. A COLD FRONT THEN APPROACHES DURING FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT/...
WARNINGS AS ISSUING AT 4PM... PLEASE WWA SECTION AT THE END. UPDATED
AFD SECTIONS BY 5 PM.

1PM: ALL BOX
FCST PRODUCTS UPDATED. NO FURTHER UPDATES TIL FINAL PKG AT 405 PM.

NOON: ALL HAZARD STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED.

IN A NUTSHELL... A SERIOUS STORM IS UPCOMING SUNDAY. CONCERNS ARE
INCREASING FOR MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING. PLEASE SEE THE STATEMENT.

AM CONCERNED ABOUT CONSIDERABLE POWER OUTAGES ALONG THE COAST. ITS
NOT A LOCK ON GUST TRANSFER BUT IT APPEARS LIKELY THAT GUSTS OF 40
KNOTS WILL OCCUR ALL ALONG THE COAST.  PLEASE SEE NPW.

936 AM UPDATE BELOW...

06Z NAM AND 00Z GGEM PERFORMANCE THIS MORNING ON 6 HR QPF ENDING 12Z
WAS BEST. ON WIND TRANSFER...06Z GFS BEST BUT...THINK WE FIGURED A
WAY AROUND THE NAM TRANSFER PERFORMANCE...AT LEAST FOR THIS EVENT...USING
6C INSTEAD OF 9C SST-950MB AND THEN THE NAM WORKS FINE.

06Z NAM IS OMINOUS WITH A 50-55 KT WEST SIDE JET CORE DEVELOPING
/NNE-N FLOW/ PREDICTED BY 12Z SUNDAY AND THAT TRANSLATES OVER CAPE
COD AND THE E MA CW SUNDAY. THIS JET CORE IS DOWN TO 975 MB. ALSO...ITS
BECOMING MORE CERTAIN THIS SFC LOW WILL TRACK VERY CLOSE TO NANTUCKET
SUNDAY EVENING...MODELS HAVE ME THINKING ABOUT 50-75 ME SE OF KACK
WHICH IS ANOTHER 60 MILES CLOSER THAN I THOUGHT YDY.

FROM THE MID SHIFT BELOW...

LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST THIS GO AROUND AS ANOMALOUS EARLY SEASON
WINTER-LIKE STORM IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT
THROUGH SUNDAY. THE VARIOUS MODELS ARE NOT SHOWING GOOD CONSENSUS
EVEN 24 HOURS BEFORE THE SYSTEM WILL START AFFECTED SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. MORE ON THAT IN THE SHORT TERM SECTION.

FOR TODAY...SHORT WAVE RIDGING WILL PROVIDE SNE WITH A MOSTLY DRY
DAY...BUT STILL MOSTLY CLOUDY. THE DAY MAY ACTUALLY START OUT
SUNNY...MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE PIKE...BUT WAA CLOUDS ARE
ALREADY APPROACHING FROM UPSTATE NY AND NORTHEAST PA. SOME SPOTTY
OCEAN EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS MAY AFFECT EASTERN MASS FROM TIME TO TIME
TODAY. OVERALL...TEMPS WILL REMAIN COLD FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR...MAXING OUT ABOUT 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MIDNIGHT THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
AS MENTIONED ABOVE...MODEL AGREEMENT NOT VERY GOOD WITH UPCOMING
GALE SYSTEM TO AFFECT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. SEE PMDHMD FOR DETAILS
ON THE MODEL TRENDS. OVERALL...THE GFS IS TOO FAR WEST AND TOO FAST.
A GFS ENSEMBLE/UKMET/ECMWF SOLUTION IS PREFERRED AT THIS TIME. WITH
THAT SAID...THERE ARE STILL QUITE A FEW PROBLEMS TO WORK OUT THIS GO
AROUND. THE FIRST QUESTION IS DO WE GET ANY SNOW...AND WHERE. THE
OTHER ISSUES REVOLVE AROUND COASTAL FLOODING AND WIND. POPS AND QPF
ARE ALSO ISSUES THAT WILL NEED TO BE IRONED OUT.

AS FAR AS POPS GO...THE GFS IS TOO FAST. THE PREFERRED MODEL BLEND
MENTIONED ABOVE ACTUALLY ALLOWS FOR A MOSTLY DRY NIGHT TONIGHT AS THE
STORM CONTINUES TO ORGANIZE WELL TO OUR SOUTH. THEREFORE...ONLY WENT
WITH CHANCE POPS FOR TONIGHT ALONG AND NORTH OF THE MASS PIKE...WITH
HIGHER POPS TOWARD CT AND SE MASS WHERE THEY SHOULD BE CATEGORICAL BY
SUNRISE SUNDAY. THE LOWER TERRAIN WILL SEE RAIN...HOWEVER...THE
BOUNDARY LAYER ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN MAY SEE A RAIN/SNOW MIX.

SUNDAY MORNING IS WHERE THE REAL FUN BEGINS. THE ECMWF...WHICH IS
PREFERRED HERE DUE TO GOOD RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY...IS SHOWING SOME
SIGNALS IN THE MID LEVEL MASS FIELDS THAT YOU WOULD SEE IN WINTERTIME
BANDED PRECIPITATION EVENTS...IE...A NICE MID LEVEL DEFORMATION/
FRONTOGENESIS REGION NEAR/WEST OF A BACK-BENT MID LEVEL WARM
FRONT...ALBEIT NOT INCREDIBLY STRONG. THIS WILL BE THE KEY TO WHERE
THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY SETUP...AND RIGHT NOW THIS
APPEARS TO BE EASTERN MASS...EASTERN CT...AND RHODE ISLAND...
ALTHOUGH I WOULDNT BE COMPLETELY SHOCKED IF THIS WERE A TAD FURTHER
WEST. FOR THE MOST PART...BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURES SHOULD
PRECLUDE MEASURABLE SNOWFALL AND ALLOW FOR A COLD RAIN TO FALL
OUTSIDE OF THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS. HOWEVER...IF A MESOSCALE BAND WERE
TO SET UP ON SUNDAY...SOME COULD BE IN FOR A SURPRISE UNDER THE
HEAVIEST ECHOES...IE...A PERIOD OF SNOWFALL...EVEN AT LOWER
ELEVATIONS.

RIGHT NOW...THE PROBS OF A HEAVY SNOWFALL SOMEWHERE IN THE CWA
AREN/T GOOD ENOUGH TO ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH. IF THE MODELS WERE
IN BETTER AGREEMENT WITH HEAVIER PRECIP OCCURRING WEST OF WHERE THE
CONSENSUS HAS IT NOW...A WATCH MAY HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THE EAST
SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES AS WELL AS PORTIONS OF SW NH. BUT...SINCE IT
LOOKS LIKE THE HEAVIEST PRECIP IS GOING TO OCCUR EAST OF THERE WHERE
BL TEMPS WILL BE WARMER...WE THINK THE THREAT OF AN ACCUMULATING
SNOWFALL IS LESS. HOWEVER...WITH THAT SAID...TRENDS WILL NEED TO BE
WATCHED CLOSELY...ESPECIALLY FOR THE ORH HILLS INTO SW NH. IT WON/T
TAKE ALL THAT MUCH SNOW...MAYBE MID TO HIGH-END ADVISORY LEVELS TO
BRING DOWN BRANCHES AND CAUSE POWER OUTAGES SINCE IT IS STILL
OCTOBER. AGAIN...THIS IS LOW PROBABILITY...BUT NOT COMPLETELY
IMPOSSIBLE. RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS AS THO THE HEAVIEST PRECIP WILL SLIDE
A BIT TOO FAR EAST FOR HEAVY PRECIP OUTSIDE OF THE SOUTH COAST/CAPE
ISLANDS BUT NEED TO CLOSELY MONITOR. AS FAR AS POPS GO ON SUNDAY...
CATEGORICAL...WITH HIGHEST EAST.

WINDS MAY BE AN ISSUE AS WELL...MAINLY FOR THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.
BUFKIT SOUNDINGS INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FOR 45 KT GUSTS LATE TONIGHT
INTO SUNDAY FOR THESE AREAS. HAVE THEREFORE ISSUED A HIGH WIND WATCH.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SUNDAY NIGHT...
AGREEMENT AMONG THE MODELS OF COASTAL LOW PRESSURE PASSING SOUTHEAST
OF NANTUCKET WITH HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE FROM NEWFOUNDLAND THROUGH THE
ST LAWRENCE VALLEY AND UPPER LOW TO OUR SOUTHEAST.  THIS KEEPS
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND IN ISENTROPIC LIFT AND STRATIFORM PRECIP FOR
THE FIRST PART OF THE NIGHT. ALSO A STIFF NORTHEAST BREEZE WITH NAM
950 MB WINDS AT 40-50 KNOTS OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN...THIS WOULD
TRANSLATE TO STRONG GUSTS IN THAT AREA. THEN AS THE LOW SHIFTS PAST
NOVA SCOTIA OVERNIGHT THE UPPER LOW MOVES OVERHEAD. THIS WOULD TURN
OUR PRECIP MORE SHOWERY. THERE MAY BE A BRIEF BREAK BETWEEN THE TWO
MODES...BUT OVERALL WE EXPECT CATEGORICAL /GREATER THAN 74 PCT/ POPS
STARTING THE NIGHT AND THEN DIMINISHING AS THE LOW MOVES OFF.

MONDAY...
WITH THE UPPER LOW EITHER OVER OR CLOSE TO EASTERN MASS...WE ARE
INCLINED TO MAINTAIN LIKELY POPS /55-74 PCT/ FOR THE FIRST PART OF
THE DAY ESPECIALLY OVER RI AND EASTERN MASS...AND OTHERWISE CHANCE
POPS.  DRIER AIR MOVES IN LATE MONDAY OR MONDAY NIGHT WHICH
SHOULD SUPPORT CLEARING FROM WEST TO EAST.

TUESDAY...
WEAK TROF MOVES ACROSS CANADA. THE NAM IS SHARPER WITH THIS FEATURE
THAN THE GFS. A SIMILAR FEATURE...WITHOUT THE SHARPNESS...IS SHOWN
ON THE GLOBAL.  THIS MAY BE ENOUGH FOR A PERIOD OF CLOUDS SWEEPING
ACROSS THE REGION...AND VIRGA OR WIDELY SCATTERED ELEVATION
SHOWERS.  OTHERWISE DRY.

WEDNESDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVERHEAD SO A GENERALLY FAIR DAY.  OVERRUNNING
DEVELOPS OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND A ZONAL UPPER FLOW COULD
SEND SOME HIGH CLOUDS OUR WAY ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON/EVENING.

THURSDAY...
THE GFS BRINGS THE HIGH DOWN OVER THE MARITIMES.  WHETHER OR NOT WE
GET A FORMAL BACKDOOR FRONT...THE PRACTICAL EFFECT WILL BE TO TURN
OUR FLOW EASTERLY.  IT WILL ALSO SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR MORE SKY
COVER.  BUT NO DISTURBANCE IN THE PARALLEL UPPER FLOW AND WITH NO
SOUTH FLOW TO OVERRUN THIS FEATURE THERE IS NOT MUCH CONFIDENCE IN
PRECIP. WE WILL KEEP POPS BELOW 15 PCT DURING THE DAY...THEN
INCREASE TO 15-25 PCT DURING THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE PATTERN SHIFTS
EAST.

FRIDAY-SATURDAY...
LOW PRESSURE WINDING UP AS IT MOVES INTO THE GREAT LAKES.  THIS
SHIFTS THE UPPER FLOW EAST AND BRINGS THE MILDER SOUTH-SOUTHWEST
FLOW OVER THE NORTHEAST PROVIDING BETTER OVERRUNNING AND SO A BETTER
CHANCE FOR CLOUDS AND PRECIP. THICKNESS FIELDS ARE WELL ABOVE
RAIN/SNOW THRESHOLDS.  ASIDE FROM SOME FLAKES IN THE HILLS FRIDAY
MORNING...RAIN SHOWERS IS THE EXPECTED PRECIP TYPE.

THE ECMWF AND GFS SHOW THE GREAT LAKES LOW SWINGING THE COLD FRONT
TO THE EAST COAST WHERE IT ALIGNS PARALLEL TO THE SOUTHERLY UPPER
FLOW.  WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE THEN MOVE UP THE FRONT.  THIS IS A GOOD
WET WEATHER PATTERN FOR US...WILL GO WITH CHANCE POPS.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TODAY...MARGINAL MVFR/VFR CONDITIONS CC AND THE ISLANDS. OTRW VFR
CIGS DEVELOPING FM SW TO NE. NE WIND GUSTS UP TO 25 KNOTS ALONG THE
COAST AND PERHAPS A BIT STRONGER AT NANTUCKET.

TONIGHT...MVFR POSSIBLY LOWERING TO IFR LATE. G30 KT DEVELOPING LATE
AT ACK.

SUNDAY...WIDESPREAD IFR CONDITIONS IN RAIN...OR RAIN/SNOW MIX ACROSS
THE HIGHER TERRAIN. SOUTH AND EAST COAST WINDS G35-40KT AT TIMES FROM
THE NORTHEAST.

OUTLOOK /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SUNDAY NIGHT...MVFR/IFR IN LOW CIGS AND RAIN/SNOW. LOW LEVEL
NORTHEAST WINDS OF 40-50 KNOTS FORECAST JUST OFF THE DECK SO LOW
LEVEL WIND SHEAR IS POSSIBLE MAINLY FOR BOS- PVD AND THE CAPE AND
ISLANDS.

MONDAY...MVFR/IFR IN LOW CIGS AND SHOWERS...IMPROVING BY THE
AFTERNOON.

TUESDAY...VFR.  BRIEF MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY
ORH AND MHT.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
SEAS ARE INCREASED BY 1-2 FT AS WNA GUIDANCE FROM 06Z CONTINUES TOO LOW
IN THE W ATLC. THIS HAS BEEN A PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THE FIRST GALE
AND WILL CONTINUE FOR THIS UPCOMING GALE. SWANNAM YDY HAD LESS OF A
PREDICTED LOW BIAS AFTER 12Z HOURS OF SPINUP FCST.

GALE CENTER DEVELOPS TO THE SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND TODAY AND TONIGHT.
GALES HAVE BEEN POSTED FOR ALL WATERS AS GALES PROGRESS FROM SOUTH TO
NORTH LATER TONIGHT. SEAS WILL ONCE AGAIN BUILD MARKEDLY AND BECOME
VERY ROUGH BY EARLY SUNDAY.

OUTLOOK /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SUNDAY NIGHT-MONDAY...NORTH GALES CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING AND
THEN DIMINISH BY MORNING.  LINGERING WINDS AT OR ABOVE 25 KNOTS ON
MONDAY.

MONDAY NIGHT TO TUESDAY NIGHT...WINDS BELOW 25 KNOTS.  SEAS
SUBSIDING BELOW 5 FEET ON THE INNER WATERS MONDAY NIGHT.  SEAS WILL
LINGER AT OR ABOVE 5 FEET ON THE OUTER WATERS THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
AT 12Z...COMPARED TO THE 06Z GFS MRPSSE...
BOS IS 0.8 HIGHER THAN PREDICTED WITH A 1 FT SURGE AND 10 FT SEAS.
ACK IS 1.4 HIGHER THAN PREDICTED WITH A 1.5 FT SURGE AND 11 FT SEAS.
PVD IS 0.4 HIGHER THAN PREDICTED WITH A 0.6 SURGE.

THE SURGE PREDICTIONS FOR YDYS GALE HAVE BEEN BIASED TOO LOW BY A
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT AND WE WILL ADJUST THE FUTURE MRPSSE UP BY AT
LEAST HALF A FOOT.

IF THE FCST TRENDS CONT AT 18Z... AS PER 06Z NAM...AND THE WAVE FCST
CONTS AS NOW POSTED... WILL PROB CONVERT TO A WARNING FOR A PTN OF
THE AREA. ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT HIGHER WINDS E MASS. 12Z MODEL
GUIDANCE MAY ASSIST. 03Z SREF PROBS FOR GALE ARE NOT QUITE AS HIGH AS
WAS HOPING TO SEE.

COASTAL FLOOD THREAT IS LOW FOR TODAY ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE A FEW
AREAS OF LOCALIZED MARGINALLY MINOR FLOODING AT THE TIMES OF HIGH
TIDE.

THE NEXT THREAT FOR AT LEAST MINOR COASTAL FLOODING COMES WITH THE
MIDDAY TIDES ON SUNDAY AS THE SECOND GALE CENTER WORKS UP THE COAST.
STORM SURGE VALUES WILL INCREASE TO 1 TO 2 FEET BY MIDDAY SUNDAY.
THIS...ALONG WITH GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS BUILDING SEAS 12 TO 20 FEET
ALONG THE EAST COAST OF MASSACHUSETTS WILL CAUSE SPLASHOVER OR MINOR
COASTAL FLOODING ALONG VULNERABLE EAST FACING BEACHES. THE MAIN
THREAT MAY OCCUR FROM SCITUATE AND PLYMOUTH AS WELL AS OUTER CAPE
COD...NANTUCKET AND MARTHAS VINEYARD. THERE APPEARS TO BE A SOMEWHAT
HIGHER RISK OF MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING...PROVIDED THE NE WIND GUSTS
OT 40 TO 45 KNOTS OCCUR TO DRIVE THE SEAS TO PREDICTED VALUES AT THE
TIME OF THE HIGH TIDE. THERE IS TILL SOME DOUBT AS TO THE TIME OF THE
MAX SURGE/WIND AND SEAS WITH THE LATE SUNDAY MORNING HIGH TIDE. GIVEN
THE UNCERTAINTY WE HAVE ISSUED A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH TO HEIGHTEN
AWARENESS TO THE MERE POSSIBILITY OF MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING.

BY MONDAY...THE LOW WILL PUSH FAR ENOUGH EAST OF THE REGION THAT
WINDS WILL BEGIN TO BACK TO NORTH...WHICH WILL TEND TO LOWER THE
SEAS AND STORM SURGE.

BEACH EROSION WILL BE A PROBLEM WITH PERSISTENT NE FLOW AND WAVE
ACTION OVER MULTIPLE TIDE CYCLES.
