AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
354 PM EST WED FEB 4 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
BITTERLY COLD HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY BUILD ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT WHILE ANOTHER OCEAN LOW TONIGHT PASSES
OVER 300 MILES EAST OF NANTUCKET. TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN TO MODERATE
FRIDAY...RISING TO WELL ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS OVER THE WEEKEND. ANOTHER
COLD FRONT WILL LIKELY SWING THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE DAY ON SUNDAY
BRINGING TEMPERATURES DOWN A BIT FOR THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. NO
MAJOR STORMS LOOK IMMINENT OVER THE NEXT 6 OR 7 DAYS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
PNS ON YDYS STORM TOTALS: ANOTHER AND POSSIBLY FINAL VSN WILL POST
AROUND 430 PM. THESE DO MAP. WE DELETED APPARENTLY INCOMPLETE REPORTS
FILED BETWEEN 3 AND 6 PM YDY FOR EASTERN MASS...NE CT AND ALL OF RI
WHEREBY WE KNOW BETWEEN ONE HALF AND 2 INCHES OCCURRED AFTER THOSE
FILINGS...ENOUGH TO CAUSE TRAVEL HEADACHES AND ROAD TREATMENT
REQUIREMENTS. ALSO DELETED WERE SEVERAL DUPLICATE REPORTS IN ONE OR
COMMUNITIES.

A GENERAL 3-6 INCH EVENT WITH SPOT 7S...INCLUDES PLENTY OF BEAUTIFUL
POWDER LAST EVENING. REPORTS ON WEBENTRY THRU NOON. MANY COCORAHS
AND CO- OPS AND WQRC ADDED.

LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING WELL TO THE SOUTHEAST OF NEW ENGLAND WILL MOVE
SEAWARD OVERNIGHT CASTING A CIRRUS SHIELD NWWD OVER THE SE CORNER OF
SNE EARLY TONIGHT.

THE BIGGER ISSUE IS THE LIKELIHOOD OF ACCUMULATIVE SNOW SHOWERS FOR
THE OUTER CAPE LATE TONIGHT AS SEEN IN THE MID AFTN VSBL SAT IMAGERY
AND THE GYX/BOX RADARS. DESPITE LITTLE OR NO SUPPORT FROM OPERATIONAL
MODELS EXCEPTING THE SREF RGEM AND ECMWF OUR 4 PM FCST POPS ARE EVEN
HIGHER THAN INHERITED DUE TO THE 09Z SREF POPS FOR .01. THIS MAY BE
ONLY 1 OR 2 BANDS AND ITS DIFFICULT TO BE SURE WHERE THIS WILL DEPOSIT
ITS GREAT EST SNOWFALL..BUT ATTM AM BANKING ON CAPE COD. SMALL CHC
ERN PLYMOUTH COUNTY WILL BE GRAZED BY FLURRIES OVER EVEN SNOW SHOWERS
TWD SUNRISE THURSDAY. THERE IS A LITTLE SHEAR... SO NO GUARANTEE BUT
I AM CONFIDENT WE CAN GET 1 TO 2 INCHES ON PARTS OF THE CAPE BTWN 06Z
AND 16Z THURSDAY. STEERING BL WIND MAY BRIEFLY TURN NNE OVERNIGHT
WHICH ADD THE SE PYM COUNTY OPTION.

WC ADVY ISSUED FOR HIGH TERRAIN. MARGINAL BUT BLV ENOUGH INFO TO
WARRANT AN ADVY FOR THE HIGH TERRAIN. VALLEYS IN THE INTERIOR MAY
ALSO GO TO 15 BELOW BUT WITH LIGHT WIND...MORE OF A RADIATION FACTOR
AND NOT AS LONG A DURATION.

FCST CONTS TO UNDER CUT ALL AVBL MOS GUIDANCE AND THIS IS BASED ON
SHALLOW COLD...PARTICULARLY AOB 2500 FT... AND NLY FLOW OVER FAIRLY
DEEP FRESH SNOW COVER. 2M TEMPS OF NAM/UK/EC ARE PARTICULARLY
VALUABLE.

SKYCVR MOSTLY NAM TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
THU...CONTINUITY WITH THE PREV 4AM PACKAGE. MIGHT BE A DEGREE WARMER
BUT TOMORROW IS DEFINITELY AN ICY DAY... WITH GUSTY NW WINDS TO 20
OR 25 KTS. FCST TEMPS AOB ALL AVBL MOS GUIDANCE AND HEAVILY WEIGHTED
TO THE UPSTREAM REALITY AND 2M TEMPS OF THE UK/EC/NAM. TEMPS 20 TO 22
DEGS BLO NORMAL DURING THE DAY WC VALUES STRUGGLE TO NR ZERO IN THE
AFTN.

OCEAN EFFECT DRIFTS SEWD PER BL WIND CHANGE TO NWWD FOLLOWING THE
DEPARTING OCEAN LOW.

THU NIGHT...RAN EVEN COLDER THAN THE COLDEST GUIDANCE WITH LATE NIGHT
DECOUPLING. NOT MUCH CLOUD COVER AS SFC RDG BUILDS IN. MOS GUIDANCE
HAS BEEN FRAUGHT WITH LARGE ERRORS THIS JANUARY ON RADIATING COLD IN
THE COUNTRYSIDE. EVEN BOSTON WAS LOWERED DUE TO COLD START FROM
THURSDAY...THO KEPT THE TEMP UP A DEG OR 2 FROM WHAT I EXPECT
THURSDAY MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SHOWING PRETTY GOOD RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY THIS
MORNING...LENDING CONFIDENCE FOR THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST
THROUGH AT LEAST THE WEEKEND. MODELS STILL SHOWING A MODERATING
TREND LATER THIS WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND...THEN A BRIEF COOLDOWN EARLY
NEXT WEEK. APPEARS TO BE MAINLY DRY THROUGH THE PERIOD AS WELL.

FRIDAY...N-S ELONGATED HIGH PRES RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE EASTERN
U.S. THIS TIMEFRAME. WINDS BEGIN TO BACK TO A MILDER DIRECTION...W-SW.
TEMPS REBOUND TO THE 30S...EXCEPT SOME 20S OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
WARM AIR ADVECTION PATTERN SETS UP.

SATURDAY...A RATHER PLEASANT DAY AS HIGH PRES BUILDS OFF THE COAST.
UPPER LEVEL LONG WAVE PATTERN ALSO SHIFTS...WITH UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
BUILDING ACROSS THE REGION. THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN BECOMING RATHER
BROAD THOUGH...SO ANY FEATURE IN THE FLOW WILL BE FAST MOVING AND
TEND TO BE DRY. SUCH IS THE CASE WITH AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT OUT
OF THE GREAT LAKES. WITH THE HIGH ANCHORED OFF THE MID ATLC
COAST...WILL REMAIN DRY AND MILD. ONLY LIMITING FACTOR FOR TEMPS ON
SAT WILL BE THE DEEP SNOW COVER ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS. HAVE
FORECASTED HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 40S...EXCEPT UPPER 30S OVER THE
INTERIOR HIGHER TERRAIN. WINDS WILL START TO PICK UP OUT OF THE SW
AS WELL.

SUNDAY...MODELS CONTINUE TO SIGNAL BRINGING WEAK LOW PRES ACROSS
SOUTHERN QUEBEC WITH A TRAILING COLD FRONT STRUGGLING TO PUSH ACROSS
THE REGION. NOT MUCH SUPPORT WITH THIS SYSTEM...AND ANY ENERGY
REMAINS WELL N OF THE REGION. WILL SEE MAINLY MID AND HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDS MOVING ACROSS...BUT WINDS WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST
DURING THE DAY WHICH WILL TRANSPORT IN MILD TEMPERATURES. FORECAST
HIGHS IN THE 40S FOR MOST LOCATIONS...BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO
SEE SOME 50 DEGREE READINGS AT A FEW LOCATIONS. THIS WILL DEPEND
UPON CLOUD COVER AND WINDS THOUGH. COULD SEE SOME GUSTY SW WINDS
MAINLY ALONG THE S COAST...CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS. AT THIS
POINT...CONTINUE WITH A DRY FORECAST AS MOST PRECIP REMAIN N OF THE
REGION.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...MODELS CONTINUE TO BRING ANOTHER HIGH OUT OF
CENTRAL CANADA TO THE NORTHEAST...BRINGING COOLER TEMPERATURES
THOUGH NOT QUITE AS COLD AS THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. EXPECTING
TEMPS TO BE MORE SEASONABLE.  NOT QUITE AS HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR
TUESDAY...HOWEVER...AS MODELS MIGHT BE TRYING TO MOVE THE HIGH
THROUGH A BIT TOO QUICKLY. SHOULD REMAIN DRY FOR MOST OF THE DAY...
AT LEAST AT THIS POINT.

.AVIATION /21Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
