High Wind Watch 1, NWS Boston/Norton, MA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
353 AM EST SAT JAN 2 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A LONG DURATION COASTAL SYSTEM WILL AFFECT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
WITH PERIODS OF SNOW AND AND STRONG WIND THROUGH SUNDAY.
THEREAFTER...MAINLY FAIR AND DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF
THE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A COMPLEX SCENARIO UNFOLDING TONIGHT SHOULD GIVE MUCH OF SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND A PLOWABLE SNOWFALL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A CLOSED UPPER
LEVEL LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL DIG SOUTHEASTWARD MOVE OVER THE
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA.  AT THE SAME TIME...
SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS IS TAKING PLACE TONIGHT WELL SOUTHEAST OF
NANTUCKET.  THESE TWO FEATURES WILL MERGE SOUTH OF NOVA SCOTIA
TONIGHT RESULTING IN A LARGE...INTENSE...AND SLOW-MOVING GALE CENTER
IN THE GULF OF MAINE BY SUNDAY.

THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL WILL BE FOCUSED WHERE THE BEST LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE SETS UP WHICH LOOKS TO BE ALONG THE EAST COAST AND THE
CAPE AND TO A LESSER EXTENT OVER SOUTHERN NH...CENTRAL MASS...AND
RHODE ISLAND.  THIS IS WHERE THE GREATEST CONFIDENCE EXISTS IN AN
ADVISORY LEVEL SNOWFALL THROUGH SATURDAY...LIKELY ON THE ORDER OF 3
TO 6 INCHES. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS WILL BE POSSIBLE WHERE BANDING
SETS UP.  THE SNOW MAY BE MIXED WITH RAIN FOR AWHILE ON THE CAPE AND
ISLANDS SO SNOW WILL BE SLOW TO ACCUMULATE UNTIL LATE THIS
MORNING/EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.  ADVISORY LEVEL ACCUMULATIONS ARE
POSSIBLE TO THE WEST OF THE ADVISORY AREA AS WELL...BUT CONFIDENCE
IS NOT HIGH.  LATER SHIFTS MAY OPT TO EXTEND THE ADVISORY AREA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
ADDITIONAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY BUT WILL ONLY
CARRY THE ADVISORY THRU SAT NIGHT AS THIS IS WHEN THE BEST CHANCE
FOR HEAVIER BURSTS OF ACCUMULATING SNOW ARE.

SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...THE WINDS BECOME A GREATER CONCERN
PARTICULARLY AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS AND NEAR THE COAST.  SUSTAINED
WEST/NORTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 30 TO 35 MPH IN THESE
AREAS WITH WINDS NEARING 40 MPH ON THE OUTER CAPE AND NANTUCKET.
WIDESPREAD GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH ARE ALSO POSSIBLE.  WITH THIS FORECAST
PACKAGE WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE CAPE AND ISLANDS AND A
WIND ADVISORY FOR THE REMAINING ZONES IN OUR CWA.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
INTENSE VERTICALLY STACKED STORM ROTATES SWD FROM DOWNEAST MAINE
DURING SUNDAY WITH SFC WARM FRONT BACKING IN FROM THE NORTH.  GOOD
QG FORCING ASSOCD WITH SHORTWAVE ROTATING AROUND WESTERN QUADRANT OF
MID LEVEL LOW COMBINED WITH A PERIOD OF ISENTROPIC LIFT FROM THE
NORTH WILL PRODUCE ANOTHER PULSE OF SNOW SUNDAY...LIKELY FOCUSED
FROM S NH SWD THROUGH EASTERN MA.  WILL CONTINUE CATEGORICAL POPS IN
THIS REGION...WITH POPS DECREASING TO CHC IN HFD/TOLLAND
COUNTIES.

ADDITIONAL ACCUM OF 1-4" POSSIBLE SUNDAY WITH HEAVIEST LIKELY ACROSS
E COASTAL MA AND CAPE COD. STORM TOTAL ACCUMS ACROSS MAINLY EASTERN
LOCATIONS /COVERING THE PERIOD TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/ SHOULD
RANGE FROM 5 TO 10 INCHES...BUT IT WILL BE MANAGEABLE SINCE IT FALLS
OVER SUCH A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

STRONG NW WINDS WILL BE OTHER CONCERN FOR SUNDAY WITH INTENSE LOW
MOVING INTO THE GULF OF MAINE.  MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW GOOD LOW LEVEL
MIXING WITH POTENTIAL FOR G40-45 KT.  HIGH PROBABILITY OF STRONG
WIND ADVSY EVENT AND WHILE WINDS MAY NOT REACH ACTUAL WARNING
CRITERIA...THIS MAY BECOME HIGH WIND WARNING EVENT DUE TO POSSIBLE
DAMAGE.

SUN NIGHT...SNOW SHOULD DECREASE AS LOW PULLS AWAY AND WE HAVE
DECREASING POPS.  ADDITIONAL MINOR ACCUM POSSIBLE IN THE EVENING.
STILL WINDY BUT GUSTS NOT AS STRONG AS SUN.

NAO PATTERN WILL PERSIST FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK WITH STRONG BLOCKING
IN GREENLAND GRADUALLY SHIFTING FURTHER EAST.  MID LEVEL TROF WILL
REMAIN FOCUSED ACROSS THE NE AND WEATHER LOOKS MAINLY DRY...BLUSTERY
AND COLD WITH PERSISTENT NW FLOW THROUGH THU.  HOWEVER...WILL
EVENTUALLY HAVE TO WATCH POTENT SHORTWAVE MOVING OUT OF THE MIDWEST
FOR POSSIBLE COASTAL STORM LATE IN THE WEEK.  OP GFS KEEPS
DEVELOPMENT WELL OFFSHORE...BUT EC IS CLOSER AND A THREAT FOR THU
NIGHT AND FRI.  THERE ARE ALSO A FEW GEFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS CLOSER TO
THE COAST.  UNCERTAINTY IS HIGH THIS FAR OUT SO WILL JUST CARRY CHC
SNOW IN THE THU NIGHT/FRI PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
TODAY... HIGH CONFIDENCE OF AT LEAST MVFR CONDITIONS IN SNOW ALL DAY
AT ALL TERMINALS WITH MODERATE CONFIDENCE OF A PERIOD OF IFR
CONDITIONS IN HEAVY SNOW 12Z-15Z ALL TERMINALS EXCEPT BDL/BAF. SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS OF 3 TO 5 INCHES LIKELY FOR ALL TERMINALS...EXCEPT 1-3
INCHES BAF/BDL AND HYA/ACK WITH A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW AT THE START.
NORTH WINDS WILL LIKELY GUST TO 30 KT DURING THE AFTERNOON AT HYA/ACK
RESULTING IN BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.

TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN STRONG NW WINDS /30 TO 40
MPH/ AT ALL TERMINALS. MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN PERIODS OF
SNOW AT TERMINALS ALONG AND NEAR THE E COAST. MVFR CONDITIONS
EXPECTED AT PVD/ORH AND VFR AT BDL/BAF.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SUN NIGHT...GRADUALLY IMPROVING CONDITIONS TO VFR COASTAL TERMINALS.
GUSTY NW WINDS CONTINUE BUT NOT AS STRONG AS SUN.

MON THROUGH WED...MAINLY VFR.  G25 KT POSSIBLE MON.

&&

.MARINE...
GALE WARNINGS HAVE BEEN POSTED FOR ALL WATERS STARTING THIS AFTERNOON
AND CONTINUING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT AS STRONG LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS AND
MEANDERS IN THE GULF OF MAINE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE GALE WARNING
WILL HAVE TO BE UPGRADED TO A STORM WARNING FOR A PORTION OF THE
MARINE FORECAST AREA FOR 50 KT GUSTS BY LATER TONIGHT. SEAS WILL
INCREASE MARKEDLY...LIKELY REACHING 15 TO 20 FEET ON THE OUTER WATERS BY
TONIGHT.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

WINDS SLOWLY DIMINISH SUN NIGHT BUT GALES CONTINUE OPEN WATERS.

MON THROUGH WED...WINDS DIMINISH BELOW GALE...BUT NW WINDS WILL GUST
TO 25-30 KT OVER OPEN WATERS.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
STORM SURGE GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO INCREASE EACH MODEL CYCLE BUT ALSO
IS RUNNING ABOUT 0.5 FT TOO LOW AFTER REVIEWING THE FRIDAY MORNING
HIGH TIDE CYCLE. THEREFORE ADDING AN ADDITIONAL 0.5 FT TO THE
GUIDANCE YIELDS A STORM SURGE MIDDAY TODAY OF 1.5 FT TO 2.0 FT. WITH
ASTRONOMICAL TIDES RUNNING VERY HIGH /SIGNIFICANT SPRING TIDE CYCLE/
THIS WILL YIELD STORM TIDES AT OR JUST ABOVE FLOOD STAGE. IN ADDITION
TO THESE HIGH WATER LEVELS...MODEST WAVE ACTION /8-13 FT/ JUST
OFFSHORE TODAY SHOULD YIELD WIDESPREAD MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG
WITH A FEW POCKETS OF MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING.

GIVEN THE LACK OF VERY LARGE SEAS /15+/ OFFSHORE...WE ARE NOT
ANTICIPATING MAJOR FLOODING OR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. THEREFORE WE HAVE
NOT ISSUED A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH OR WARNING AND INSTEAD WENT WITH A
COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY. THE MOST VULNERABLE LOCATIONS WILL BE
NORTHEAST FACING SHORELINES OF EASTERN COASTAL MASSACHUSETTS...FROM
SALISBURY SOUTHWARD TO NANTUCKET.

WILL HAVE TO WATCH IF OCEAN STORM DEVELOPS FARTHER SOUTH WHICH WOULD
RESULT IN LARGE WAVES AND AN INCREASED RISK OF WIDESPREAD MODERATE
COASTAL FLOODING. THIS IS A LOW PROBABILITY WITH THE MORE LIKELY
SCENARIO MENTIONED ABOVE.

AS FOR BEACH EROSION...DESPITE A LONG DURATION EVENT THE LIMITED
DURATION OF ONSHORE WINDS WILL LIKELY PRECLUDE VERY LARGE SEAS FROM
ENTERING THE NEAR SHORE WATERS. HOWEVER VERY LARGE SEAS GENERATED
OVER EASTERN GEORGES BANK NORTHWARD TO NOVA SCOTIA TODAY MAY PROPAGATE
WESTWARD AS EAST SWELLS SUNDAY. THIS WILL LIKELY BE SUFFICIENT FOR MORE
SIGNIFICANT BEACH EROSION AND ANOTHER ROUND OF MINOR TO POSSIBLY MODERATE
COASTAL FLOODING WITH THE SUN MIDDAY HIGH TIDE CYCLE. WE HAVE ISSUED
A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH FOR THE SUN HIGH TIDE CYCLE.
