AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
450 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 INCLUDING KBOS
THROUGH 08Z. ONLY SEE AT MOST 0.02" SO FAR AT KCEF.

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/...
1 HOUR DELAY ON THE LONG TERM DUE TO STATEMENTS. MY APOLOGY.

STORM IS ON TRACK TO BE A BIG PLAYER HERE...

THE FOCUS FOR HEAVY RAINFALL DURING SUNDAY WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT
NORTHWARD TO MERRIMACK BASIN OF NE MA AND S NH AS THE NOSE OF THE
LLJ LIFTS NORTH AND STALLS OVER THIS REGION.  THE 850 MB WIND
ANOMALIES ARE STILL +4 SD SO WE CAN EASILY SEE AN ADDITIONAL 1-2"
QPF WITH ISOLD 3" DURING SUN IN THE AFOREMENTIONED REGION OF NE MA
AND S NH.

RAIN INTENSITY SHOULD GRADUALLY DECREASE ACROSS CT/RI AND SE MA
DURING SUN AS THE LLJ MOVES NWD AND DRY SLOT MOVES UP FROM THE
SOUTH.

WINTER THREAT SUN...IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD FOR ONGOING SNOW OR MIXED
PRECIP PERSISTING THROUGH THE MORNING AND POSSIBLE INTO EARLY
AFTERNOON OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS IN THE MONADNOCKS AND NORTHERN
BERKS AND POSSIBLY FAR N ORH COUNTY.  GFS HAS COLDEST THERMAL
PROFILE BUT EVEN SLIGHTLY MILDER ECMWF PARTIAL THICKNESSES ARE
MARGINALLY COLD FOR SNOW.  THINKING AN ADVSRY LEVEL SNOWFALL ABOVE
1200 FT THROUGH MIDDAY SUN...WITH HIGHEST PROBABILITY IN THE
MONADNOCKS.  LOW PROB OF AMOUNTS REACHING 6" N CHESHIRE AND N
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTIES.

WIND...WE ARE FOLLOWING ECMWF WHICH HAS 60 KT LLJ DOWN TO 925 MB
TARGETING MAINLY EASTERN MA SUNDAY WHICH GRADUALLY SHIFTS NWD TO NE
MA DURING THE DAY.  MODEST PRES FALLS SO EXPECT AT LEAST WIND ADVSRY
CRITERIA WITH G50 MPH WITH LOW PROB OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS TO 60
MPH.  STRONGEST WINDS DIMINISH IN SE MA AND THE CAPE BY MIDDAY WHILE
FOCUSING IN NE MA AS THE LLJ LIFTS NWD.  NAM WIND FIELD IS STRONGER
WITH 70 KT LLJ AND WOULD SUGGEST HIGHER PROB OF DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS.  WE WILL NEED AT LEAST WIND ADVSRY SUN FOR E MA AND CANT RULE
OUT HWW.

SUN NIGHT...NEAR STATIONARY LLJ WITH SLOW SWD DRIFT WILL CONTINUE TO
FOCUS QPF ACROSS MAINLY E MA ALTHOUGH INTENSITY WILL BE DECREASING.
COLUMN COOLS SUN NIGHT AND MORE SNOW ACCUM POSSIBLE ACROSS NW ZONES
ALTHOUGH ONLY LIGHT ACCUM EXPECTED FURTHER REMOVED FROM BEST QPF.

MON...THINK GFS IS TOO FAST AND AGGRESSIVE WITH CLEARING IN STRONG
CYC NE FLOW SO WE CONTINUED TO RELY ON THE WETTER ECMWF WITH LIKELY
POPS AND COLDER TEMPS.  COLLAPSING LLJ SWD ALONG THE COAST WILL
BRING ANOTHER PULSE OF STRONG WINDS TO EASTERN NEW ENG.  LLJ
ACTUALLY INTENSIFYING AND ANOTHER PERIOD OF WIND ADVSRY CRITERIA IS
LIKELY.

CONDITIONS IMPROVE MON NIGHT...THEN IT LOOKS LIKE AN EXTENDED PERIOD
OF DRY AND MILD CONDITIONS FOR TUE THROUGH FRI WITH MAXES IN THE
50S.

&&

.AVIATION /10Z 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...

DELAYED UPDATE TIL AT LEAST 510 AM...

SUN...HIGH CONFIDENCE IFR/LIFR IN RAIN WITH SOME SNOW OVER HIGHER
ELEVATIONS NW.  NE GUSTS TO 40 KT ORH EWD WITH FOCUS FOR STRONGEST
GUSTS SHIFTING TO BOS-MHT CORRIDOR DURING AFTERNOON.

MON...MVFR BECOMING VFR NW HALF. MVFR/IFR AND AREAS OF RAIN/SLEET SE
HALF.  MODERATE CONFIDENCE. NE WIND GUSTS 30-40 KT BOS TO THE CAPE
AND ISLANDS.

MON NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE OF BECOMING VFR.

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...
STORM WATCH ADDED NE MASS WATERS. GALE EXTENDED INTO MONDAY REMAINING
NE MASS WATERS...AS WE GET BELTED BY A LONG DURATION NOREASTER.

REMAINDER LONG TERM MARINE UPDATE AROUND 510 AM.

SUN...STRONG NE GALES WITH G40 KT...STRONGEST WINDS SHIFTING TO NE
MA COASTAL WATERS IN THE AFTERNOON WITH DIMINISHING WIND SE WATERS.
LOW PROB OF STORM FORCE GUSTS.

ANOTHER PULSE OF STRONG GALES WILL MOVE NORTH TO SOUTH ACROSS THE
WATERS LATE SUN NIGHT INTO MON AS LLJ COLLAPSES SEWD.  LOW PROB OF
STORM FORCE WINDS MON.

SEAS...USED SWANGFS FOR SUN THEN INCREASED WNAWAVE GUIDANCE BY 15
PERCENT SUN NIGHT THOUGH MON NIGHT.  BASICALLY WE ARE LOOKING AT
SEAS APPROACHING 25 FT OVER OUTER EASTERN WATERS.

.HYDROLOGY...
RELATIVELY RARE AND FAIRLY WIDESPREAD 3+ INCH 36HR RAIN 4-5 INCH 60
HR RAIN EVENT AT HAND FOR SNE. DAILY RECORD RAINS EXPECTED FOR BOS
FOR THE 14TH. 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 SREF AND I THINK SOON THE ON-BOARD GEFS.

03Z SREF HAS THE ..ATLANTIC FLOW.. PATTERN VERY WELL REPLICATED. 21Z
SREF 48 HR PROBS FOR 4 INCHES ARE 60 PCT FOR NE MASS WITH 36 HR PROBS
FOR 3 INCHES NOW 70 70 PCT JUST W IF I95 IN N RI AND E MASS TO ASH
ENDING 09Z MONDAY! -5 SD PERSISTENT 12 HR 850 ELY FLOW ALONG THE MASS
PIKE SUNDAY WITH A SUB TROP FETCH WITHIN A CONSTANT SWATH OF 1 TO 2
SD PWAT IS GOING YIELD A WIDESPREAD 3 TO 5 INCH RAIN EVENT IN THIS
AREA BY NOON MONDAY .. ISOLATED HIGHER AMTS POSSIBLE.

THE 00Z/13 GFS/NAM/RGEM ARE ALL 4+ NOW IN THIS AREA.

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 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...MORE BOSTON
SOUTHWARD.

MUCH MORE AT 510 AM...

HEAVY RAIN WILL OCCUR AT TIMES THIS WEEKEND. THE MAIN AREA OF
CONCERN WILL BE THE MERRIMACK RIVER VALLEY IN SOUTHERN NH AND
NORTHEAST MA. HOWEVER...THIS DOES NOT LET THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND OFF THE HOOK. A WIDESPREAD 2-4 INCH RAINFALL IS EXPECTED AT
THIS TIME. THIS WILL LIKELY LEAD TO STRONG RISES ON AREA
WATERWAYS...PARTICULARLY THE SMALLER RIVERS AND STREAMS. WE COULD
SEE PROBLEMS ON LARGER RIVERS LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK...BUT IT IS TOO EARLY TO DETAIL THAT YET SINCE WE DO NOT KNOW
EXACTLY WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL FALL JUST YET.

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

MORE AT 510 AM...BELOW FROM YESTERDAY.

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 THE SAT NIGHT 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.

SIGNIFICANT BEACH EROSION IS LIKELY WITH PERSISTENT NE WINDS AND
WAVE ENERGY POUNDING THE COASTLINE FOR MULTIPLE TIDE CYCLES.
