AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
159 AM EST SUN JAN 24 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL PROVIDE DRY AND SEASONABLE WEATHER THROUGH AT
LEAST MID AFTERNOON ON SUNDAY.  STRONG LOW PRESSURE PASSING TO OUR
WEST WILL BRING HEAVY RAIN...A PERIOD OF STRONG WINDS AND
UNSEASONABLY MILD TEMPERATURES LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY
MONDAY. THEREAFTER A SERIES OF COLD FRONTS WILL SWEEP ACROSS NEW
ENGLAND MID TO LATE WEEK USHERING IN COLDER WEATHER INTO THE
REGION...WITH TEMPERATURES AVERAGING BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
RIDGING CURRENTLY EXTENDING DOWN INTO THE REGION AS SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE SITS OVER QUEBEC. THIS HIGH WILL SLIDE SOUTHEAST ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND OVERNIGHT NIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY. THIS WILL KEEP
RELATIVELY CALM CONDITIONS IN PLACE OVERNIGHT. THIS SETS THE STAGE
FOR VERY GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING...WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS FOR MUCH OF THE INTERIOR. SATELLITE PICTURES SHOWING SOME HIGH
CLOUDS ACROSS ONTARIO...WESTERN NY STATE AND PA APPROACHING OUR
REGION. BUT THESE CLOUDS SHOULD NOT ARRIVE UNTIL EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING.

THE EARLY PORTION OF TOMORROW SHOULD ALSO REMAIN QUIET. HOWEVER
CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE DURING THE AFTERNOON AS A STRONG LOW
PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES BEGINS TO AFFECT OUR REGION. HIGH CLOUD
COVER WILL BE ON THE INCREASE BY EARLY AFTERNOON AS AN H500 RIDGE
AXIS PUSHES TOWARD THE REGION. THICKER MID AND LOW LEVEL CLOUDS WILL
SPILL IN LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AS THE RIDGE AXIS PASSES THROUGH AND
A WARM AIR ADVECTION PATTERN BEGINS TO SET UP. PRECIP WILL MOVE INTO
WESTERN ZONES DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH MODELS DIFFERING
ON THE EXACT TIMING. VERY LOW RH VALUES AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM SHOULD
KEEP THINGS DRY UNTIL AROUND 20Z.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
***HEAVY RAINFALL EVENT BECOMING MORE LIKELY FOR LATE SUNDAY NIGHT
 INTO MONDAY***

THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS IN THE SHORT TERM PERIOD WILL REVOLVE
AROUND HEAVY RAINFALL...POSSIBLE FLOODING...AND THE POTENTIAL FOR
DAMAGING WINDS.

ANOMALOUSLY STRONG SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET WILL AFFECT SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND LATER SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. 850-925MB WINDS WILL LIKELY
INCREASE INTO THE 70-85 KNOT RANGE LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY
MONDAY. THIS WILL AID IN PUMPING ANOMALOUSLY HIGH PWATS NORTHWARD...
ON THE ORDER OF +4 TO +5 STANDARD DEVIATIONS FROM CLIMO WHICH IS
PRETTY EXTREME.

LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR STRONG VERTICAL MOTION WILL INCREASE AS
SUNDAY NIGHT PROGRESSES. THEREFORE...POPS WILL INCREASE FROM WEST TO
EAST SUNDAY NIGHT. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL LOOKS TO OCCUR DURING MONDAY
MORNING ACROSS THE WEST AND MID-MONDAY MORNING TO MID AFTERNOON IN
THE EAST.

GIVEN THE ANOMALOUS NATURE OF THE LLJ AND ASSOCIATED PWATS...POTENTIAL
FOR UPSLOPE ENHANCEMENT...AS WELL AS EMBEDDED THUNDER...WE ARE
FORECASTING 2 TO 2.5 INCHES OF RAINFALL TO OCCUR ACROSS THE WESTERN
HALF OF THE CWA...ESPECIALLY IN MORE UPSLOPE PRONE AREAS. FURTHER
EAST...AROUND 2 INCHES IS FORECAST. HOWEVER...THERE MAY BE LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS IN SOME AREAS DUE TO MESOSCALE
FACTORS...THEREFORE...WE WOULDN/T BE SURPRISED TO SEE A FEW AREAS
COME IN WITH 3 INCHES WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE LATE MONDAY.

THEREFORE...WE ARE ISSUING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WITH THIS FORECAST
PACKAGE FOR ALL ZONES STARTING SUNDAY NIGHT AND LASTING THROUGH
MONDAY AFTERNOON. WE WERE ON THE FENCE WITH BETWEEN A REGULAR FLOOD
WATCH OR THE FLASH FLOOD VARIETY. BASED ON COLLABORATION WITH
ALY/OKX...COMBINED WITH THE FACT THAT THE GROUND IS FROZEN IN A LOT
OF AREAS /EXCESSIVE RUNOFF/...AND CONVECTION COMING INTO PLAY...WE
OPTED FOR THE FLASH FLOOD VARIETY. SNOWMELT WILL ALSO ADD TO
RUNOFF...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NW ZONES.

AS IS NORMALLY THE CASE WITH THESE ANOMALOUS LLJ EVENTS...MODEL TEMPS
ARE USUALLY TOO LOW. WE THINK INTERIOR SE MASS/RI WILL MAKE A RUN AT
60 ON MONDAY.

THE LOW LEVEL AIR WILL BE COLD TO START ACROSS THE FAR NW ZONES
SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE WARMING UP LATE. THEREFORE...THERE/S STILL A
CHANCE OF SPOTTY FREEZING RAIN.

WENT WITH CHANCE THUNDER ALL ZONES MONDAY WITH K INDICES APPROACHING
OR EXCEEDING 30C. FORESEE A CONVECTIVE FINELINE AHEAD OF THE FRONT
WITH OR WITHOUT THUNDER BUT COULD END UP MIXING DOWN STRONG WIND
GUSTS.

HIGH WIND POTENTIAL WITH THESE EVENTS IS ALWAYS TRICKY...BECAUSE A
STRONG INVERSION WILL LIMIT MIXING POTENTIAL. HOWEVER...WE THINK
THERE WILL BE A PERIOD OF DAMAGING WINDS JUST PRIOR TO FROPA IF
THE BOUNDARY LAYER REALLY WARMS UP. WE THINK THE BEST CHANCE FOR THIS
WILL BE ACROSS INTERIOR RI AND INTERIOR SE/E MASS. NO HIGH WIND WATCH
ATTM...BUT ONE MAY EVENTUALLY BE NEEDED.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT/ABOVE AVERAGE FORECAST CONFIDENCE THIS PERIOD
ON COLDER THAN NORMAL WEATHER RETURNING TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
TROPOPAUSE ANALYSIS FROM BOTH THE 12Z GFS AND ECMWF AGREE ON THE
EVOLUTION OF TWO POSITIVE HEIGHT ANOMALIES THIS PERIOD...ONE ACROSS
NORTHWEST CANADA SLIDING SOUTHEAST AND WEAKENING WITH TIME.
MEANWHILE A SECOND STRONGER POSITIVE ANOMALY DEVELOPS OVER THE
NORTHERN ATLANTIC. BOTH OF THESE POSITIVE ANOMALIES WILL PROMOTE
POLAR VORTEX JUST SOUTH OF THE NORTH POLE TO DEEPEN AND DROP
SOUTHWARD INTO QUEBEC DURING THE PERIOD...USHERING IN BELOW NORMAL
COLD INTO THE NORTHEAST.

AT THE SURFACE...THIS WILL TRANSLATE TO A SERIES OF COLD FRONTS
MOVING ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE WEEK WITH LOW CONFIDENCE ON THE
TIMING AND AREAL COVERAGE OF ANY PRECIP ASSOCIATED WITH EACH
TROF/FRONT.

THE FIRST FRONT CROSSES THE AREA EARLY MON EVENING. ANY DRENCHING
SHOWERS SHOULD BE CONFINED TO CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET MON
EVENING...THEN MARCHING QUICKLY OFFSHORE. NEXT SHORT WAVE/SECONDARY
COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION TUE POSSIBLY TRIGGERING A
FEW SHOWERS OF RAIN AND/OR SNOW. ANOTHER SHORT WAVE TROF IS PROGGED TO
ARRIVE SOMETIME WED WITH A REINFORCING SHOT OF COLDER AIR. THIS
FEATURE LACKS DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND QG FORCING APPEARS WEAKER THAN
TUE/S SHORT WAVE.  SO WILL KEEP FORECAST DRY FOR NOW.

AS THE POLAR VORTEX MOVES INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL QUEBEC THU...ITS
ASSOCIATED POLAR FRONT WILL APPROACH NEW ENGLAND FROM THE WEST.
BOTH 12Z ECMWF AND GFS SUGGEST SOME DEEP LAYER PACIFIC MOISTURE GETS
ADVECTED NORTHEAST INTO THE SYSTEM LATE THU/THU NIGHT. THIS COMBINED
WITH MODEST LARGE SCALE/QG FORCING MAY YIELD WIDESPREAD/NUMEROUS
SNOW SHOWERS. HOWEVER AT THIS TIME RANGE WILL PLAY IT CONSERVATIVE
AND JUST GO WITH CHANCE POPS.

BY FRI/SAT FORECAST BECOMES INTERESTING AS SOUTHERN STREAM TROF
EJECTS EASTWARD FROM THE SOUTHWEST STATES INTO THE GULF REGION. AT
THIS TIME RANGE IT/S ALWAYS DIFFICULT TO KNOW THE EXACT INTERACTION
BETWEEN THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN BRANCHES AND DEGREE OF ANY
PHASING. HOWEVER THE 12Z GFS AND ECMWF BOTH SUGGEST THE MID LEVEL
MEAN TROF AXIS WILL BE CENTERED ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES
DURING THIS TIME AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THE MID LEVEL MEAN TROF WILL
BE VERY POSITIVELY TILTED. THIS WOULD FAVOR AN OFFSHORE TRACK AND
BASICALLY A MISS FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. 12Z GEFS INDICATE LOTS OF
SPREAD/UNCERTAINTY HERE. SO AT THIS TIME RANGE AND GIVEN THE
PATTERN THIS WINTER SO FAR IT/S PRUDENT TO KEEP CHC POPS IN THE
FORECAST FRI/SAT.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TODAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 18Z ALL TERMINALS.
MEDIUM CONFIDENCE OF MVFR CIGS ARRIVING 21Z-00Z TO WEST OF KAFN-KORH-
KIJD. RAIN LIKELY ARRIVES AFTER DARK...EXCEPT LOW PROB AT KBAF AND
KBDL.

TONIGHT... IFR CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP FROM WEST TO EAST IN LOW
CLOUDS AND MAINLY RAIN. POCKETS OF FREEZING RAIN OR LIGHT SNOW
POSSIBLE.

MONDAY...IFR CONDITIONS IN HEAVY RAIN. STRONG LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR
ALONG WITH A PERIOD OF STRONG WINDS AT THE SURFACE.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

MON NIGHT...STRONG COLD FRONT EXITS EASTERN MA EARLY MON EVENING
WITH WIND SHIFT TO THE WEST. THEREAFTER MAINLY DRY WEATHER SHOULD
PREVAIL WITH CIGS LIKELY IN THE MVFR CATEGORY. HIGH CONFIDENCE.

TUE AND WED...
HIGH CONFIDENCE OF VFR CONDITIONS WITH A LOW PROB OF SCATTERED SNOW
SHOWERS. BRISK WEST WINDS EXPECTED.

THU...
HIGHER RISK OF SNOW SHOWERS LATE THU INTO THU NIGHT AHEAD OF
APPROACHING ARCTIC COLD FRONT. CIGS AND VSBYS COULD LOWER IN THE
MVFR CATEGORY. LOW CONFIDENCE.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...WILL KEEP SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THROUGH
THIS EVENING FOR THE OUTER WATERS EAST OF CAPE COD AND SOUTH OF
NANTUCKET...AS SEAS REMAIN CHOPPY. WINDS HAVE CALMED CONSIDERABLY
THIS AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE HAS BEEN MORE FIRMLY ENTRENCHED.
HOWEVER THE SEAS HAVE BEEN SLOWER TO RESPOND. WAVE HEIGHTS CONTINUE
TO RUN AT 3 TO 6 FEET FOR THE OUTER WATERS. HOWEVER...THESE ARE
EXPECTED TO SUBSIDE AFTER MIDNIGHT.

SEAS AND WINDS SHOULD BE CALM DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD AND FOR
MUCH OF SUNDAY.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...STRONG SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET WILL
DEVELOP LATER SUNDAY NIGHT AND LAST THROUGH MONDAY. MUCH OF THIS JET
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MIX TO THE SFC...BUT SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 30 TO 40
KTS SHOULD MAKE IT DOWN...ALONG WITH LOW PROB OF ISOLD 50 KT GUST
POSSIBLE IN CONVECTION. SEAS ON OUTER WATERS WILL LIKELY REACH OR
EXCEED 15 FEET ON MONDAY. GALE WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL WATERS.

MON NIGHT...
COLD FRONT EXITING THE COAST DURING THE EVENING WITH BLUSTERY
WESTERLY FLOW DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT. HEAVY SHOWERS LIKELY EARLY IN
THE EVENING ACROSS THE EASTERN MA WATERS.

TUE AND WED...
BRISK WESTERLY FLOW PREVAILS ALONG WITH SOME FREEZING SPRAY GIVEN
THE COLD AIR MASS.

THU...
ARCTIC FRONT APPROACHES THU NIGHT FROM THE WEST. WINDS BECOME
SOUTHWEST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. SNOW SHOWERS WILL LIKELY PRECEDE THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
1.75 TO 2.5 INCHES OF RAINFALL IS EXPECTED ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...WITH PERHAPS A FEW ISOLATED
3 INCH AMOUNTS. HIGHEST AMOUNTS MIGHT OCCUR ACROSS WESTERN ZONES
WHERE FORCING AND ANY UPSLOPE CONTRIBUTION WILL BE STRONGEST.
THE HEAVY RAIN WILL CERTAINLY RESULT IN AREAS OF URBAN AND POOR
DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING. AT THIS TIME...IT LOOKS LIKE MAINSTEM
RIVERS WILL BE OK...BUT SMALLER RIVERS/CREEKS/STREAMS WILL PROBABLY
OVERFLOW THEIR BANKS FOR A TIME. SNOWMELT IN THE
NORTHERN/NORTHWESTERN ZONES WILL ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO RUNOFF. FROZEN
GROUND WILL AS WELL...AS THE RAINFALL WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SOAK IN
QUICKLY. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL ZONES FOR LATE
SUNDAY NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY MONDAY.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A PERIOD OF STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED ALONG THE SOUTH
COAST ON MONDAY.  HOWEVER...ASTRONOMICAL TIDES DO NOT APPEAR HIGH
ENOUGH TO CAUSE ANY SIGNIFICANT COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE SOUTH
COAST AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...POCKETS OF MINOR FLOODING COULD OCCUR
AROUND THE MONDAY AFTERNOON HIGH TIDE WITH A 3 FOOT SURGE.
