AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
715 AM EST SAT MAR 13 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A MAJOR NOREASTER STALLING NEAR THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WILL BLAST
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WITH PERIODS OF HEAVY WIND SWEPT RAINS LATE
TODAY RIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY...THEN DRIFT OUT TO SEA SOUTHEAST OF
NANTUCKET LATE MONDAY. STRONG GREAT PLAINS HIGH PRESSURE FOLLOWS...
PROBABLY DELIVERING A SPELL OF BEAUTIFUL SPRING WEATHER HERE DURING
THE MIDDLE AND END OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
LIGHT PRECIP IS SLOWLY BUT SURELY MAKING PROGRESS NORTHWARD. RADAR
SIGNATURE IS SHOWING THAT THE FARTHER N IT MOVES...THE AREA TENDS TO
BECOME MORE SPOTTY. HAVE HAD GENERALLY LIGHT PRECIP ACROSS MOST
AREAS EXCEPT FROM AROUND KOWD-KFIT AND INTO NE MA.

HAVE NOTED TEMPS ACROSS THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES AS WELL
AS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF WORCESTER COUNTY HAVE FALLEN CLOSE TO OR A
BIT BELOW FREEZING AT SEVERAL APRS WEATHERNET STATIONS. SINCE THE
LIGHT PRECIP HAS ARRIVED ACROSS THOSE AREAS...WILL SEE POCKETS OF
FREEZING RAIN FOR A FEW HOURS. HAVE ISSUED A SHORT TERM WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY. EXPECT TEMPS TO RISE TO THE MID AND UPPER 30S BY
14Z.

KBOX 88D RADAR SHOWING LARGE AREA OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINFALL
MOVING N-NE FROM THE NJ COAST ACROSS LONG ISLAND STEADILY MOVING N.
DEWPTS HAVE BEEN STEADILY RISING ESPECIALLY ACROSS RI/SE MA
OVERNIGHT. ODDLY...HAVE SEEN DEWPTS DROP ACROSS NORTHERN BERKSHIRES
INTO S VERMONT AS E WINDS KICKED UP A BIT AT KAQW...LIKELY MIXING
DOWN DRIER AIR FROM ALOFT. EXPECT THOSE WILL RISE OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS AS STEADIER PRECIP MOVES IN.

AS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA...EXPECT PRECIP TO ARRIVE FROM S-N
DURING THE DAY AS E-NE WINDS START TO INCREASE. BIG QUESTION TODAY
WAS WHETHER THERE WOULD BE ENOUGH MIXING TO BRING DOWN DAMAGING
WINDS DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. SHORT RANGE MODELS ALL IN PRETTY
GOOD AGREEMENT IN BRINGING A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET...ON ORDER OF
70-75 KT FROM 925 TO 850 HPA...EITHER VERY LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR
TONIGHT. FEEL THAT BEST SHOT OF DAMAGING WINDS WILL OCCUR ON CAPE
COD AND THE ISLANDS...SO HAVE ISSUED A HIGH WIND WARNING THERE.
COULD ALSO SEE ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS FOR NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST
CONNECTICUT...SO HAVE ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY THERE. FOR THE
REMAINDER OF EASTERN AND CENTRAL MA AS WELL AS RHODE ISLAND...THE
BIG QUESTION WAS WHETHER THE WINDS WOULD MIX DOWN DURING THE DAY AS
THE PRECIP MOVES IN...WHICH COULD DELAY THE MIXING DUE TO EVAP
COOLING. STILL SEE SOME TEMP/DEWPT SPREADS TO ALLOW FOR THIS
ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING. DECIDED TO KEEP HIGH WIND WATCH GOING FOR
THOSE AREAS...BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE AT LEAST AN ADVISORY
GO UP FOR TONIGHT.

WITH THE AIRMASS BECOME MOIST DURING THE DAY...WILL LIKELY SEE
GENERALLY LIGHTER PRECIP AMOUNTS THIS MORNING. EXPECT SLUG OF
HEAVIER PRECIP TO REACH INTO W RI/CT MAINLY THIS AFTERNOON...
POSSIBLY UP TO 1/2" IN SOME AREAS BETWEEN 18Z-00Z. HAVE KEPT THE
FLOOD WATCH UP FOR RI/N CT THIS AFTERNOON.

AS FOR TEMPS...EXPECT THESE TO SLOWLY BUT STEADILY RISE DURING THE
DAY...ESPECIALLY AS ONSHORE WINDS FRESHEN. USED A BLEND OF THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST ALONG WITH BIAS CORRECTED MOS GUIDANCE...WHICH
SEEMED TO GIVE WARMER TEMPS ESPECIALLY ACROSS RI/E MA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SUNDAY/...
MODELS ARE ALL CONSISTENT IN BRINGING HEAVIEST PRECIP AND HIGHEST
WINDS INTO THE REGION DURING THIS TIMEFRAME. EXPECT IT TO BE A WET
AND WILD NIGHT.

CONTINUED THE FLOOD WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE REGION TONIGHT...AS EXPECT
SWATH OF HEAVY PRECIP TO SLOWLY MOVE IN. WITH STRONG LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALONG WITH A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET PUSHING N...
WILL FOCUS PRECIP ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION. USED A BLEND OF HPC
GUIDANCE AS WELL AS NAM/GFS TO PLACE BULLSEYE OF PRECIP ACROSS N
CT/RI/SE MA...THOUGH MOST AREAS WILL SEE AT LEAST AN INCH OF PRECIP
EXCEPT FOR SW NH/NW MA WHERE 1/2-3/4" FORECAST TO FALL. THIS IS ONLY
THE BEGINNING OF A LONG DURATION EVENT. SEE DETAILS IN THE HYDROLOGY
SECTION BELOW.

AS ALREADY MENTIONED...WILL SEE STRONG E-NE WINDS DEVELOP OVERNIGHT
AS THE LOW EVENTUALLY STALLS OVER OR JUST OFF THE NJ COAST. RATHER
TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT DEVELOPS BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE E OF NOVA
SCOTIA AND THE LOW TO THE S...ALONG WITH THE 70 KT LOW LEVEL JET
THAT WILL SLOWLY MOVE IN. CONTINUED THE HIGH WIND WATCH FOR EASTERN
AND CENTRAL AREAS...EXCEPT FOR WIND ADVISORY FOR N CENTRAL/NE CT AND
HIGH WIND WARNING FOR THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. WILL LIKELY SEE AT LEAST
ADVISORY GOING UP WITH THE DAY SHIFT.

ANOTHER QUESTION FOR TONIGHT WILL BE WHETHER TEMPS WILL FALL BACK
ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN OF S NH TO ALLOW PRECIP TO CHANGE OVER TO A
MIX OR TO SNOW. AT THIS POINT...WITH THE STRONG LOW LEVEL WINDS AND
LONG FETCH OVER THE OCEAN...FEEL THAT TEMPS WILL EITHER REMAIN
STEADY OR SLOWLY RISE OVERNIGHT. DO HAVE SOME TEMPS DOWN TO THE
LOWER 30S...BUT WILL BE BORDERLINE TO GET MEASURABLE SNOW OR MIXED
PRECIP. YET SOMETHING ELSE TO WATCH DURING THIS EVENT.

USED A BLEND OF PREVIOUS FORECAST ALONG WITH 2M NAM/GFS TEMPS AND A
BIT OF THE BIAS CORRECTED MOS GUIDANCE.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
***MAJOR STORM ARRIVES THIS EVENING AND ALL MODELS HAVE IT...

WE JUST DONT KNOW THE DEGREE OF DAMAGE REGARDING THE VARIOUS STATED
HAZARDS.

HOWEVER...I BELIEVE THIS STORM IS ON TRACK TO BE A BIG PLAYER HERE...

03Z SREF NOW PAINTS 40 TO 70 PCT PROB OF 4 INCHES OF RAIN IN 48 HRS
ENDING MIDDAY MONDAY. LATEST GFS AND NAM CYCLES ARE NOW IN THE 4 TO 6
INCH RANGE FOR EASTERN MASS.  EVERY MODEL 3+ HERE IN ERN MASS.
03Z SREF PLUMES AND 06Z GEFS PLUMES FOR BOS ARE NOW AROUND 4.25
INCHES RESPECTIVELY AND THE SPREAD IS NOT TOO LARGE!

THERE IS NOT MUCH MORE I CAN SAY THAT HASNT BEEN SAID ALREADY IN
SUCCESSIVE AFDS ABOUT PWAT...850 INFLOW AND 250 CIRCULATION ANOMALIES...
EXCEPT FOR FURTHER SUPPORT...PLEASE READ THE PAPER LISTED IN THE
HYDRO SECTION REGARDING THE CLIMATE SCIENCE OF THIS ANOMALOUS COOL
SEASON ATLANTIC FLOW EVENT THAT HAS A SUBTROP CONNECTION.

WIND...WE JUST WERENT QUITE SURE ENOUGH OF WARNING CONDITIONS IN THE
REMAINING PART OF THE WATCH AREA...BUT SUFFICE TO SAY...RAIN SOFTENED
GROUND COMBINED WITH GUSTS EVEN IN THE MID 40 KNOT RANGE OFFERS A
CHANCE OF UPROOTING A FEW TREES. SUSPECT MUCH OF THIS WATCH WILL
NEED A CONVERSION TO WARNING. PLS READ THE WARNING STATEMENT
REGARDING ANY LULLS...LOTS OF DATA SUGGESTS A TWO PRONGED EVENT...
TONIGHT AND AGAIN MONDAY MORNING.

WIND ADVISORY POTENTIAL IN THE HILLS OUTSIDE THE WATCH AREA THIS
AFTERNOON AND AGAIN SUNDAY AND MONDAY!

WE RAN THE GUSTS OFF THE MORE CONSERVATIVE 00Z/13 NAM GUST ALGORITHM
AND TRIMMED THOSE VALUES 2 KNOTS. THE GFS OUTPUT WAS AT LEAST 5 KNOTS
STRONGER! BE READY FOR POCKETS OF LONG DURATION POWER OUTAGES...
ESPECIALLY THE WORCESTER HILLS AND EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS COAST.

COASTAL FLOOD...MAYBE I WAS REMISS NOT TO ADD ACK AND CAPE COD IN THE
WATCH BUT FOR NOW WENT WITH THE GRID OUTPUT THAT PRODUCED THE MOST
MINOR AND MODERATE EPISODES AND THERE WILL BE A LULL IN THE WIND FOR
CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET...WHEREAS...THE POUNDING THAT BOSTONS SOUTH
AND NORTH SHORES WILL BE SUBSTANTIAL. RESPECT THE POWER OF WIND AND
WATER AND KEEP YOURSELF SAFE FROM DANGER.

COULD HAVE ISSUED THE WATCH FOR MONDAY TOO BUT FOR NOW...TOOK CARE OF
THE POTENTIAL FIRST EVENT.

WINTER THREAT SUNDAY...JUST TOO TENUOUS-UNCERTAIN TO ISSUE AN ADVY
OR WSA ATTM. OUR GRIDS HAVE SPOTTY 2 TO 7 INCH AMOUNTS IN THE MONADNOCKS
AND I COULD SEE THE SAME THING ON THE EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKS...BUT
PREFER TO HAVE LATER SHIFTS REEVALUATE THE POTENTIAL AND GO FROM
THERE. PLUMES HAVE BEEN DECREASING SNOW AS THE CYCLES MOVE ALONG.

THUNDER... I DIDNT PUT THUNDER IN THE FCST DUE TO SO MANY OTHER
CONSIDERATIONS BUT ITS PROBABLY GOING TO THUNDER AND BECOME CONVECTIVE
IN THE ELY FLOW HERE IN SNE SUNDAY PER THE STRONG TROWAL SIGNATURE!

FLOOD...PLEASE SEE EXTENDED FFA AND HYDRO SECTION.

CONDITIONS IMPROVE MON NIGHT...THEN IT LOOKS LIKE AN EXTENDED PERIOD
OF DRY AND MILD CONDITIONS FOR TUE THROUGH FRI.

CAUTION: DID VERY LITTLE WORK ON THE GRIDS BEYOND 12Z TUESDAY
CONCENTRATING EFFORTS ON THIS STORM

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
TODAY...VFR CONDITIONS TO START...BUT NOTING MVFR CIGS MOVING INTO
SW RI/BLOCK ISLAND/KMVY AT 08Z. EXPECT CIGS TO LOWER TO MVFR MAINLY
ACROSS N CT/RI/W AND CENTRAL MA BY MIDDAY...THEN SLOWLY MOVING NE
DURING THE AFTERNOON. VSBYS MAY LOWER TO MVFR-IFR MAINLY IN THE
AFTERNOON IN DEVELOPING RAIN.

KBOS...EXPECT MAINLY VFR THROUGH MIDDAY...THEN VFR-MVFR VSBYS IN
RAIN.

TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE ON IFR IN WIND DRIVEN RAIN. STRONG E-NE
WINDS 30-40 KT EASTERN MA AND RI ALONG WITH LIKELY LLWS. LOW
CONFIDENCE OF ICE ACROSS E SLOPES OF THE BERKS.

KBOS...MVFR CIGS/VSBYS LOWERING TO IFR.

OUTLOOK...

SUN...HIGH CONFIDENCE IFR/LIFR IN WIND SWEPT RAIN WITH SOME SNOW OR
ICE OVER HIGHER ELEVATIONS NW. NE GUSTS 32-45 KTS EARLY CONTINUING ALL DAY
BOS TO ORH BUT DIMINISHING ELSEWHERE IN THE AFTN...BUT THEN
INCREASING LATE AT NIGHT ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.

MON...MVFR/IFR IN LEFTOVER RAIN OR MXD PCPN BECOMING VFR NW HALF.
MODERATE CONFIDENCE. NE WIND GUSTS 33-45 KT ALL AREAS DURING THE DAY
THEN DIMINISH AT NIGHT AS VFR REACHES THE CAPE AND ISLANDS LATE.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...SEAS ALREADY BUILDING EARLY THIS MORNING...UP TO 10 FEET AT
AT THE SOUTHERN BUOYS INCLUDING SE OF BLOCK ISLAND AT 09Z. BUZZARDS
BAY BUOY GUSTING UP TO 32 KT. CONTINUED GALE WARNING WITH WIND GUSTS
UP TO 40 KT MENTIONED MAINLY ON THE OPEN WATERS.

TONIGHT...EXPECT E-NE GUSTS UP TO 45 KT. SEAS CONTINUE TO QUICKLY
BUILD ESPECIALLY ON THE EASTERN WATERS...FORECAST UP TO 20 FT LATE.

OUTLOOK...
PLEASE SEE MWW FOR DETAILS. A 48 HOUR PERIOD OF GALES PUNCTUATED BY
STORM FORCE GUSTS HERE AND THERE. A RESPITE FROM THE STRONG WIND S
COAST MIDDAY SUNDAY BUT ONLY TO RESUME BY MONDAY MORNING.

SEAS WERE 00Z/13 SWANGFS THRU 12Z MONDAY THEN PREV FCST ENHANCED A
BIT MONDAY AND MONDAY EVENING.

BASICALLY WE ARE LOOKING AT SEAS APPROACHING 25 FT OVER OUTER
EASTERN WATERS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
RELATIVELY RARE AND FAIRLY WIDESPREAD 3+ INCH 36HR RAIN 4-6 INCH 60
HR RAIN EVENT AT HAND FOR SNE. DAILY RECORD RAINS EXPECTED FOR BOS
FOR THE 14TH....POSSIBLY ORH PVD? THIS STORM IS FITTING THE PATTERN
DESCRIBED IN THE PAPER FOUND ON THE NWS WEB SITE UNDER PAPERS AND
STUDIES TITLED

THE USE OF ENSEMBLE AND ANOMALY DATA TO ANTICIPATE EXTREME FLOOD
EVENTS IN THE NE USA.

THIS PAPER IS BEING FINALIZED FOR PUBLICATION BY THE TWO PRIMARY
LEAD AUTHORS IN A JOURNAL.

PLS CHECK THE 3RD CONSECUTIVE CYCLE OF THE SREF /LATEST FOR THIS
WRITING IS THE 03Z/13 VSN/ AND NOW THE ON-BOARD 00Z AND 06Z/13 GEFS
VSNS FOR PROBS OF 4 INCHES IN 48 HRS IN EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS.

03Z SREF HAS THE ..ATLANTIC FLOW.. PATTERN VERY WELL REPLICATED.

A -5 SD PERSISTENT 12 HR 850 ELY FLOW ALONG THE MASS PIKE SUNDAY WITH
A SUB TROP FETCH WITHIN A CONSTANT CONVEYOR BELT OF 1 TO 2 SD PWAT
IS GOING YIELD A WIDESPREAD 3 TO 6 INCH RAIN EVENT IN ERN MASS BY
NOON MONDAY .. ISOLATED HIGHER AMTS POSSIBLE.

VIRTUALLY EVERY MODEL NOW FCSTG 4+ IN A FAIRLY LARGE CHUNK OF EASTERN
MASS BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. THERE CAN ALWAYS BE ERRORS...BUT IF THE
FUTURE MODEL EVIDENCE AND SFC REALITIES CONTINUE THIS THEME WITH THE
SAME ENSEMBLE INTELLIGENCE CONFIDENCE OR EVEN GREATER.. THEN WE WILL
BE COMPARABLE TO THE LATE FEBRUARY FLOODING OR POSSIBLY MORE EXTENSIVE...
FROM ONE STORM...ALBEIT A LONG DURATION 48 TO 54 HOUR EVENT. PLS SEE
THE FFA STATEMENT.

SREF PLUMES CONSISTENTLY NOW ARE 4 INCHES IN BOSTON THE PAST TWO
CYCLES ENDING WITH THE 21Z/12 SREF CYCLE WITH MEMBER MAX NEARLY 7
INCHES.

IF WE GET 4 INCHES AS ANTICIPATED IN THIS AREA 36-48 HOURS...THINK
THE RESULT SHOULD BE FLOODING COMPARABLE TO THAT OF LATE FEB 2010
MAYBE A TAD LESS... NEED MORE TIME TO EVALUATE THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

WILL EVALUATE FOR POSSIBLY THE HEAVIEST EVENT SINCE THE SO CALLED
MOTHERS DAY /3 DAY/ 2006 THOSE 8 TO 15 INCH EXTREMES WILL NOT BE
REACHED BUT ISOLATED 7 INCHES IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION PER SREF
MEMBERSHIP. JUNE 7 2006 ALSO HAD A SIZABLE EVENT...THAT ONE WAS BOSTON
SOUTHWARD WHEREAS MOTHERS 3 DAY WEEKEND EVENT WAS NORTH SHORE TO SE
NH.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
COASTAL FLOOD WATCH ISSUED FOR SUNDAY...LONG DURATION POUNDING OF
THE EASTERN MASS COASTLINE. SEE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE EROSION AND
CERTAINLY MINOR IF NOT MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING.

LOW ASTRO TIDES WILL PREVENT A WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO MAJOR COASTAL
FLOOD EVENT. BUT WE HAVE HIGH CONFIDENCE OF AT LEAST MINOR FLOOD
EVENT E COASTAL MA WITH LOW PROB OF LOW END MODERATE FOR SUN INTO MON
TIDE CYCLES. WE SHOULD ESCAPE TONIGHTS HIGH TIDE AS SEAS ARE JUST
STARTING TO BUILD...MINOR SPLASHOVER AT WORST.

EXPECT AT LEAST A 2 FT SURGE SUN INTO MON.  20-25 FT SEAS OFFSHORE
WILL BE ENOUGH FOR WIDESPREAD MINOR COASTAL FLOODING WITH CHANCE OF
LOW END MODERATE DURING 3 SUCCESSIVE HIGH TIDE CYCLES FROM SUN INTO
MON.

SUBSTANTIAL OR SEVERE BEACH EROSION IS LIKELY WITH 48 TO 60 HOUR
PERSISTENT NE GALES AND WAVE ENERGY POUNDING THE COASTLINE FOR
MULTIPLE TIDE CYCLES.
