AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1115 AM EST SAT FEB 21 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS AFTERNOON.
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE PLAINS MOVES TO THE GREAT LAKES...THEN
REDEVELOPS ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST SUNDAY. THIS WILL BRING
SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW TO THE INTERIOR AND SNOW CHANGING TO RAIN
ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN. HIGH PRESSURE BRINGS DRIER WEATHER FOR THE
FIRST HALF OF THE WORK WEEK. ANOTHER STORM MOVING OUT OF THE PLAINS
MAY BRING THE NEXT PRECIPITATION THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
HAVE UPDATED THE ZONES AND GRIDS TO REFLECT SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS
THAT HAVE MOVED ACROSS SOUTHERN HAMPSHIRE AND CENTRAL AND WESTERN
HAMPDEN COUNTY OUT OF THE BERKSHIRES AND E NY. EXPECT THIS TO TAPER
OFF OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS WINDS BACK TO W AND SW. STARTING TO
SEE THIS TREND ON KENX RADAR ACROSS THE BERKSHIRES. ALSO ADDED SOME
CLOUDS OVER THE CT VALLEY.

LOOKING AT TEMPS/DEWPTS...NOTED TEMPS WERE RUNNING A BIT HIGHER THAN
FORECAST...WHILE DEWPTS WERE A BIT LOWER. BROUGHT CONDITIONS
CURRENT. BASED ON THIS...ALSO ADJUSTED THE MAX TEMPS A FEW DEGREES
HIGHER AS WELL.

EDGE OF HIGH CLOUDS WITH NEXT SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE EASTERN LAKES
IN SATELLITE. SEE WEAK RIDGING ON WV SATELLITE TO BUILD ACROSS...BUT
MAY PINCH OFF AS THE NEXT SHORT WAVE MOVES OUT OF THE LAKES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL THIS AFTERNOON SO EXPECT SUNNY AND DRY
CONDITIONS. 900 MB TEMPS AT -8C TO -10C WILL SUPPORT MAX TEMPS IN THE
30S.

TONIGHT CONTINUES DRY. HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASES OVERNIGHT WHICH
WOULD SUPPORT INCREASING CIRRUS AND POSSIBLY MID LEVEL CLOUDS. WINDS
AT 925 MB INCREASE TO 30-40 KNOTS AFTER 06Z...SO THIS IS WHEN ANY LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE WOULD INCREASE. BUT LITTLE ISENTROPIC LIFT IS FORECAST
UNTIL 12Z...SO PRECIP PROBABILITIES SHOULD BE LOW.

ON SUNDAY THE AIRMASS SATURATES DURING THE MORNING WITH PLENTY OF
LIFT BY MIDDAY. SO WE HAVE BROUGHT INCREASING POPS THROUGH THE
MORNING REACHING CATEGORICAL IN THE WEST AROUND 15Z AND IN THE EAST
17Z-18Z. THE STRONGEST LIFT MOVES ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE
AFTERNOON...THIS SHOULD BE THE PERIOD OF GREATEST PRECIP.

MODELS ARE CONSISTENT IN GENERATING A SECONDARY LOW ALONG THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST. MOST MODELS BRING THE SECONDARY ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW
ENGLAND WITH JUST THE NAM TRACKING IT OVER NANTUCKET AND OUTER CAPE
COD. THIS TRACK WOULD BRING WARMING TEMPS TO THE COASTAL PLAIN...BUT
WOULD MAINTAIN A NORTH TO NORTHEAST LAND FLOW OVER THE INTERIOR.
INDEED THE GFS AND ECMWF MAINTAIN AND 20 KNOT NORTHEAST AGEOSTROPHIC
FLOW OVER SOUTHERN NH AND NORTHWEST MASS. MOS TEMPS FOR SUNDAY SEEM
FINE ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN BUT TOO WARM IN THE INTERIOR. WE HAVE
MADE MANUAL ADJUSTMENTS TO A COOLER SOLUTION IN THE INTERIOR WITH
MAX TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO FREEZING.

BASED ON THESE TEMPS AND MODIFIED QPF...WE COME OUT WITH THE
FOLLOWING SCENARIO...PRECIP STATS AS SNOW OR AS A MIX OF RAIN AND
SNOW SUNDAY MORNING. IT THEN CHANGES TO RAIN IN THE COASTAL
PLAIN...BUT REMAINS AS SNOW NORTH OF A SPRINGFIELD TO NASHUA LINE.
PERIODS OF HEAVY SNOW ARE POSSIBLE IN THE NORTHWEST DURING THE
AFTERNOON AS THE BEST LIFT/FORCING MOVES OVERHEAD. THIS FORCING AND
THE AVAILABLE MOISTURE SUGGEST POTENTIAL FOR 6 INCHES IN THIS
NORTHWEST AREA...SO WE WILL ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE WILL BE DEEPENING RAPIDLY VERY CLOSE TO THE EASTERN MASS
COASTLINE EARLY SUNDAY EVENING AS IT QUICKLY MOVES AWAY FROM SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND AND INTO THE GULF OF MAINE. THE MAJORITY OF THE
PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL HAVE
ALREADY FALLEN BY THE BEGINNING OF THE FORECAST PERIOD...WITH MUCH OF
THE PRECIP SHIELD MOVING UP THROUGH NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND AROUND 00Z
MONDAY. HOWEVER...SOME SNOW SHOWERS WILL LIKELY REMAIN THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT. WINDS WILL RAPIDLY INCREASE SUNDAY EVENING AS WELL. IT/S
POSSIBLE THAT A MARGINAL WIND ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED AS THE GRADIENT
TIGHTENS...PRESSURES RISE...AND CAA STARTS IN EARNEST.

WINDY AND COLD FOR MONDAY WITH SCT SNOW SHOWERS NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE INTERIOR. MOS GUIDANCE LOOKED TOO
WARM FOR MONDAY/S MAX TEMPS. TOOK THOSE DOWN SEVERAL DEGREES. MAY
NEED A WIND ADVISORY FOR A TIME.

FAIR WEATHER EXPECTED FOR TUESDAY WITH TEMPS MODERATING A BIT. STILL
QUITE BREEZY.

MODERATING TREND CONTINUES ON WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING
MOVES OFFSHORE BY LATE IN THE DAY. MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES ARE EXPECTED.

00Z GFS AND ECMWF IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
BOTH ADVERTISE A FAIRLY LOW PROB OF LIGHT WA-INDUCED PRECIP WED NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY. THEREAFTER...GOOD AGREEMENT CONTINUES WITH STRONG LOW
PRESSURE MOVING UP THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY WITH
MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND GETTING WARM SECTORED. COLD FRONT
APPROACHES LATE IN THE DAY FRIDAY WITH AN INCREASED CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THIS AFTERNOON...VFR. W-NW GUSTS TO 25 KNOTS THROUGH MID AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...VFR WITH INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS.

SUNDAY...CONDITIONS LOWERING TO MVFR/IFR MID TO LATE MORNING IN
DEVELOPING SNOW. THE SNOW WILL MIX/CHANGE TO RAIN BOS-PVD-FMH-HYA-
ACK. MIXING IS ALSO POSSIBLE AT BDL AND BAF. PERIODS OF LIFR IN HEAVY
SNOW ARE POSSIBLE AT MHT.

OUTLOOK /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

SUNDAY NIGHT...IMPROVING CONDITIONS ARE FORESEEN AS LOW PRESSURE
MOVES AWAY FROM SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. IFR CONDITIONS EARLY ON SHOULD
LIFT TO MVFR DURING THE EVENING HOURS. IN ADDITION...WESTERLY WINDS
WILL INCREASE AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES WITH G40KT POSSIBLE.

MONDAY...MARGINAL MVFR/VFR IN BROKEN DECK OF STRATOCUMULUS CLOUDS.
WESTERLY WIND GUSTS OF 35 KNOTS EXPECTED.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
THIS AFTERNOON...HAVE TAKEN DOWN SMALL CRAFT FOR BOSTON HARBOR AND
NARRAGANSETT BAY AS WINDS HAVE DIMINISHED THERE. HOWEVER...APPEARS
WINDS REMAIN HIGH ON THE OPEN WATERS WITH GUSTS TO 25-30 KTS. STILL
EXPECT WINDS TO DIMINISH STARTING AROUND MID AFTERNOON AS RIDGE
BUILDS OVER. SEAS WILL REMAIN ROUGH...SUBSIDING DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS. WINDS WILL
SHIFT AROUND TO SOUTHEAST.

SUNDAY...WINDS INCREASE OUT OF THE EAST TO SMALL CRAFT LEVELS...MAYBE
APPROACHING GALES ON THE OUTER WATERS. VSBYS WILL LOWER IN RAIN OR A
RAIN/SNOW MIX DURING THE MORNING.

OUTLOOK /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN WESTERLY GALE FORCE
WIND GUSTS OF AROUND 40 KNOTS ACROSS THE WATERS AS LOW PRESSURE
DEEPENS AND MOVES INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES. LOW PROB OF MARGINAL
STORM FORCE GUSTS FOR A FEW HOURS SUNDAY NIGHT.

TUESDAY...LEFTOVER SCA WIND GUSTS IN THE COLD AIR ADVECTION PATTERN
ARE EXPECTED.

WEDNESDAY...WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD BE BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION.
