AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1258 AM EST FRI FEB 19 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
PERSISTENT LOW PRESSURE NEAR THE CANADIAN MARITIMES WILL RESULT IN
MAINLY DRY...BLUSTERY AND SEASONABLE WEATHER THROUGH THIS WEEKEND.
NEW LOW PRESSURE MOVING NORTHEAST FROM THE MID ATLC STATES LATE MON
TO THE NEW ENGLAND COAST TUE...MAY BE REPLACED BY ANOTHER COASTAL LOW
BY THU. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN PERIODS OF MIXED WINTRY WEATHER NEXT
TUE INTO FRI.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL NOON TODAY/...
WIND ADVY ISSUED JUST BEFORE 9P...CONTINUES THROUGH AT LEAST DAWN.
HAD SUSTAINED 27 KT AT ORH AND GUSTS FROM ORH TO BAF PSF AND ALB
BETWEEN 36-43 KT 21Z-02Z.  SUSTAINED 24 KTS AT BAF AT MIDNIGHT.

SPOT CK OF 00Z/19 NAM MODEL DATA SUGGESTS AND THE 00Z/19 ALB SOUNDING
OF NEARLY DRY ADIABATIC LAPSE RATE 4000FT DEEP SUGGESTS WE ARE HAVING
GUSTS FROM 4000 FT TRANSFER DOWN TO 1000 FT... AND EXPECT THIS WILL
PULSE UP AND DOWN OVERNIGHT AND EVEN FRIDAY. FOR NOW THE ADVY JUST FOR
TONIGHT. SUSPECT HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES MAY BE SURPRISED HOW BREEZY IT
IS ON SOME OF THOSE E-W ROUTES. MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGEST THE 850 CORE
40-50M KT WINDS WILL REMAIN OVER THE W 2/3RDS OF SNE THRU FRIDAY.

WE RERAN MXG HTS OFF THE 00Z/19 NAM AND THEN RAN GUST ALGORITHMS FROM
THE GFS AND NAM AND HAD TO POWER TO GET THE VALUES WE ARE SEEING. THE
GFS GUST ALG IS A BETTER FIT FOR THE GUSTS AT MIDNIGHT AND WAS USED
THROUGH SATURDAY.

SUSTAINED WIND IS A 50 50 BLEND OF THE 00Z/19 NCEP MOS.

SUSPECT THAT THE ADVY WILL BE CONTINUED INTO FRI"DAY" IN OUR 4AM
PACKAGE BUT NEED TO REEVALUATE AT 3AM.

&&

.SHORT TERM /NOON TODAY THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
FRIDAY LOOKS TOE BE SIMILAR TO TODAY WITH A MIX OF SUNSHINE AND
CLOUDS...WITH THE MORE SUNSHINE DURING THE AFTERNOON SOUTH OF I-90.

EXPECTING GRADUAL CLEARING FRIDAY NIGHT. A BLEND OF THE MOS GUIDANCE
TEMPERATURES LOOKS REASONABLE.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
PERSISTENT STACKED LOW PRESSURE NEAR THE CANADIAN MARITIMES WILL
PROVIDE FOR MAINLY DRY AND BLUSTERY WEATHER THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
DAYTIME TEMPERATURES OVER THE WEEKEND LOOK TO BE NEAR OR JUST ABOVE
NORMAL VALUES. MAVMOS GUIDANCE GENERALLY ACCEPTED SINCE IT HAS HAD A
PRETTY DECENT TRACK RECORD WITH THE WARMER DAYTIME TEMPS OVER THE
LAST WEEK OR SO DESPITE SNOW COVER IN MOST AREAS.

THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM TO LIKELY AFFECT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COMES IN
THE FORM OF A SOUTHERN STREAM WAVE LATE MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. THERE
IS STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE EVENTUAL EVOLUTION OF THIS
SYSTEM. LOW CONFIDENCE EXISTS EVEN IN LARGER SCALE EVOLUTION. IN ANY
EVENT...WE LIKED A GFS/ECMWF COMPROMISE /BOTH MODELS ARE PRETTY CLOSE
FOR A 4-5 DAY FORECAST/. THEREFORE...WE HAVE A CHANCE OF SNOW
STARTING LATE MONDAY OR MONDAY NIGHT LASTING THROUGH TUESDAY.
HOWEVER...THERMAL PROFILES AND DRY-SLOT ISSUES MAY COME INTO PLAY AND
MESS WITH PRECIP TYPES MAINLY SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE...WHICH IS
TYPICAL OF A SW FLOW EVENT. A LATE DEVELOPING COMMA HEAD MAY TRY TO
FORM BUT IT IS WAY TOO EARLY TO SPECULATE ON THAT POSSIBILITY. IN A
NUTSHELL...A LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW EVENT IS POSSIBLE FOR
SNE...MAINLY ON TUE. CLOUDS AND SNOW SHOWERS COULD PERSIST WED AND
THURS AND STORM SYSTEM IS SLOW TO MOVE AWAY.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
OVERNIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE OF VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE MAJORITY OF
THE TIME. MAY CONTINUE TO SEE SOME MVFR CIGS ACROSS THE INTERIOR. WNW
WINDS GUST 25 TO 35 KT AT TIMES ESP BOS ORH BAF MHT.

FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...VFR SCT-BKN CLOUDS. HIGH CONFIDENCE FRIDAY
IN WNW WIND GUSTS 25-35 KTS ALL TAF SITES.

SKYCOVER FCST IS A 40 30 30 BLEND OF 00Z/19 GFS MOS GUIDE AND THE RAW
RH ALG OF THE GFS AND NAM. RGEM SKY GOT OFF TO A BAD START AND WAS
NOT USED.

CIGS WERE RUN OFF THE 00Z/19 GFS RH PRED HT WHICH HAD A BETTER
INITIALIZATION.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...MEDIUM TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR
CONDITIONS...ALTHOUGH THERE COULD BE A GOOD AMOUNT OF STRATOCU AROUND
THAT BRINGS CIGS DOWN TO MVFR ACROSS THE INTERIOR. NW SFC WIND GUSTS
AROUND 25 KT.

MONDAY...MAY SEE MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS MAY ARRIVE SOMETIME MONDAY
NIGHT IN SNOW. VERY LOW CONFIDENCE ON THE ARRIVAL AT THIS POINT.

TUESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN MVFR CONDITIONS WITH IFR CONDITIONS
POSSIBLE IN SNOW OR MIXED PRECIP.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED GALE WATCH AT 9 PM...COMBINATION OF GUSTINESS ON LAND VCNTY
ORH TO BAF PSF AND ALB 21Z/18-02Z/19 PLUS THE 18Z/18 GFS AND 00Z/19
NAM CONTG TO ADVERTISE 35-40 KT TRANSFER S COAST PROMPTED ME TO TRY
AND GIVE SOME LEAD TIME THERE. HAVE BEEN CONSERVATIVE ON THIS EVENT
DUE TO THE DISAPPOINTING FAILURE OF THE NON-GALE ON THE E MASS WATERS IN
THE DEPARTING SNOW EVENT FROM 2 EVENINGS AGO BUT THE CUES ARE CYCLE
TO CYCLE CONSTANT AND THE GUST ALGS THAT WE USE ARE DOING A GOOD JOB
TONIGHT.  PLS SEE MWW.

ELSEWHERE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR GUSTY WINDS ACROSS THE
NE MASS COASTAL WATERS AND NARR BAY TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY...AND LIKELY
INTO FRIDAY NIGHT AS WELL.

SEAS BUILD ACROSS THE WATERS...WITH THE HIGHEST SEAS SOUTH AND EAST
OF NANTUCKET BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

PERSISTENT LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CANADIAN MARITIMES WILL ALLOW FOR
GUSTY NWLY WINDS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SCA GUSTS AND SEAS LIKELY.

MONDAY...WINDS AND SEAS BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA DURING THE
DAYLIGHT HOURS. THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY OF A COASTAL STORM THAT
MAY BEGIN TO AFFECT THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS MONDAY NIGHT.

TUESDAY...CHANCE OF RESURGING OF SCA CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH
POSSIBLE COASTAL LOW.
