AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
110 PM EST SUN FEB 28 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE IN NEW YORK STATE WILL MOVE S OF NEW ENGLAND TODAY...AND
EVENTUALLY MERGE INTO A LARGE INTENSE OCEAN STORM 200 MILES EAST OF
CAPE COD MON MORNING. ANOTHER LOW MOVING NORTHEAST FROM THE GULF OF
MEXICO TUE MORNING WILL ALSO BECOME A LARGE OCEAN STORM BUT PROBABLY
REMAIN WELL SE OF NANTUCKET WED. THEREAFTER...STRONG MIDWEST HIGH
PRES THU SHOULD MOVE INTO THE SE USA FOR NEXT WEEKEND...DELIVERING
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF DRY AND MILDER WEATHER.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
MID LEVEL LOW NEAR BGM WILL BE SLIDING SE OFF THE NJ COAST THIS
AFTERNOON WITH INVERTED TROF NEAR THE SOUTH COAST. WEAK QG FORCING
THIS AFTERNOON WITH MAIN FOCUS FOR PCPN ACROSS W ZONES WHERE BEST MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES. ADJUSTED POPS TO REFLECT THIS THINKING.

RAISED TEMPS SLIGHTLY PER MAV/MET BLEND WHICH TIELDS LOWER 40S
COASTAL PLAIN AND MID/UPPER 30S NW HIGHER TERRAIN.

QUICK REVIEW OF LATEST NAM SUGGESTS POSSIBLE ADVSY SNOWFALL FROM S
NH THROUGH PORTIONS OF E MA...ESPECIALLY NE. SREF NOT AS BULLISH
WITH SUB ADVSY SNOWFALL. WILL BE REVIEWING ENTIRE 12Z MODEL SUITE
BEFORE MAKING DECISION ON ADVSYS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE EAST OF THE CAROLINA COAST THIS MORNING WILL MOVE
NORTHWARD...STRENGTHENING AS IT MOVES WELL SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET
THIS EVENING.  THIS STORM WILL SETTLE JUST SOUTH OF NOVA SCOTIA
THROUGH MONDAY.  MOISTURE WRAPS BACK AROUND THE LOW TOWARDS NEW
ENGLAND BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION.  HAVE CHANCE POPS
INCREASING TO LIKELY ALONG THE EAST COAST AND THE NORTHEASTERN
ZONES.  WHETHER THE PRECIPITATION GETS BACK DOWN INTO THE
SOUTHWESTERN ZONES WILL BE DEPENDENT ON HOW CLOSE THE LOW COMES TO
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  HAVE KEPT THE QPF LESS THAN 0.25 INCH WITH
THE HIGHER AMOUNTS ACROSS NORTHEASTERN MASS. PRECIPITATION WILL
START AS SNOW IN ALL LOCATIONS...THEN AS WE GET INTO MONDAY AND A
BIT MORE WARM ADVECTION...COULD SEE A CHANGE TO RAIN PARTICULARLY
ALONG THE COAST.  NORTHWEST WINDS WILL PICK UP SUNDAY NIGHT...
INCREASING INTO MONDAY AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS.  WE MAY END
UP NEEDING A WIND ADVISORY FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
MONDAY.  THE LIKELIEST LOCATION FOR THIS WOULD BE THE CAPE AND
ISLANDS.  RIGHT NOW ITS VERY MARGINAL AND LARGELY DEPENDENT ON THE
STORM TRACK.  WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THIS POSSIBILITY IN FUTURE
FORECASTS.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
28/00Z MODELS ARE IN GOOD OVERALL AGREEMENT WITH THE OVERALL PATTERN
THIS WEEK. 00Z GFS WAS USED AS THE BASIS FOR TWEAKING THIS FORECAST
PACKAGE AS IT WAS NOT AS PROGRESSIVE AS THE ECMWF WITH AN OCEAN STORM
TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THIS WEEK AND MORE IN LINE WITH THE MODEL SUITE
CONSENSUS SOLUTION.

MID LEVEL FLOW FINALLY GETS MOVING AGAIN EARLY THIS WEEK. MID LEVEL
CUTOFF LOW GETS KICKED OUT TO SEA...BUT IS REPLACED BY A PROGRESSIVE
LONGWAVE TROUGH BY MID WEEK. THIS WILL SUPPRESS THE JET STREAM
FARTHER SOUTH...TAKING THE FAVORED STORM TRACK WITH IT.

IT LOOKS LIKE TWO MORE BRUSHES WITH LARGE OCEAN STORMS THIS WEEK...
FOLLOWED BY SEVERAL DAYS OF BENIGN WEATHER.

THIS FIRST OCEAN STORM BACKS TOWARD SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...BUT
LARGELY REMAINS SOUTH OF NOVA SCOTIA BEFORE MOVING BACK EAST MONDAY
NIGHT. STILL...THIS LOW PRESSURE SHOULD GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO TRIGGER
SNOW OR RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND...ESPECIALLY TOWARD THE EAST COAST.

TUESDAY LOOKS TO BE THE DAY WHERE OUR REGION IS BETWEEN STORMS. STILL
KEPT A CHANCE OF RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST THOUGH DUE TO THE
CURRENT EXPECTED ARRIVAL TIME OF A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE LATE IN THE DAY
INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS TIMING IS BY NO MEANS SET IN STONE YET. SO
IF THERE WOULD BE A DRY PERIOD EARLY THIS WEEK...TUESDAY WOULD BE IT.

NOT EXPECTING A BLOCKBUSTER IN TERMS OF PRECIPITATION WITH THE SECOND
OCEAN STORM WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. THINKING THIS STORM WILL STAY
FARTHER OFFSHORE THAN ITS PREDECESSORS.

OF MORE IMPORTANCE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR MOMENTUM TRANSFER AND GALE
FORCE GUSTS RAISING WATER LEVELS AND SURGE FROM WIND STRESS AND
POSSIBLY LOWERING SFC PRES. THE MOMENTUM TRANSFER ALSO BUILDS SEAS
ALONG THE E MASS COAST...ESPECIALLY FOR THE WED NIGHT HIGH TIDE.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON IN NEXT WEEKEND...THE OFFSHORE STORM MOVES OFF
AND HIGH PRESSURE SFC AND ALOFT BUILDS FROM THE MIDWEST TO THE SE
U.S. STATES. THIS WOULD OFFER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF DRY AND MILDER
WEATHER FOR OUR AREA.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THIS AFTERNOON...MVFR CIGS AT ALL TERMINALS AS OF 18Z WITH ONE
EXCEPTION...IN CENTRAL MASS/EASTERN CT/WESTERN RI WHERE THERE IS A
NORTH TO SOUTH BAND OF ONLY MID LEVEL OVERCAST AND NO LOW CLOUDS
UNDERNEATH. MOST AROUND 2500-3000 FT BUT MHT HANGING MORE LIKE
1000-1500 FT WITH BAND OF IFR JUST TO ITS NE. EXPECT LITTLE CHANGE IN
THIS CONFIGURATION INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. ORH SHOULD FILL
BACK IN WITH MVFR CIGS. A FEW SPOTS MAY BRIEFLY BREAK OUT INTO
SCATTERED LOW CLOUDS BUT THIS SHOULD FILL BACK IN WITHIN AN HOUR OR
SO.

LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING...MODELS SHOW CIGS IMPROVING TO
VFR OR HIGH MVFR CIG. MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN THIS.

OVERNIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE OF VFR HOLDING IN WESTERN TERMINALS.
BUT LOWERING MVFR CIGS WILL OVERSPREAD THE EASTERN HALF FROM NE TO
SW...AS LOW PRESSURE OFF THE COAST RETROGRESSES. ITS SNOW SHIELD WILL
OVERSPREAD THE EASTERN TERMINALS BEFORE DAYBREAK. EXPECT SNOW TO
BEGIN AT BOS/MHT/HYA NEAR 07Z...THEN BECOMING IFR VSBY IN SNOW BY
09Z. SAME IS FORECAST TO OCCUR FARTHER WEST ABOUT 2 HOURS
LATER...BEGINNING AROUND 09Z AT ORH/PVD/FMH/ACK AND BECOMING IFR VSBY
BY 11-12Z. HIGH CONFIDENCE IN EASTERN TERMINALS...MODERATE CONFIDENCE
IN CENTRAL TERMINALS. SNOW MAY HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING AS FAR WEST
AS BDL OR BAF. NW WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 15-25 KTS WITH GUSTS TO
25-30 KTS ALL TERMINALS BETWEEN 07Z AND 12Z...WINDIEST AT THE COAST.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT NAM SHOWS ORH DETERIORATING TO LOW IFR IN
CEILINGS AND FOG DUE TO RADIATIONAL COOLING. WE ARE NOT FORECASTING
THIS DENSE FOG AS YET SINCE THERE SHOULD BE SIGNIFICANT CLOUD
COVER...BUT WE HAVE FORECAST A LOWERING OF CEILINGS FOR ORH EARLIER
THAN AT OTHER TERMINALS.

MONDAY...OCCASIONAL MVFR CONDITIONS IN SNOW/RAIN SHOWERS
WITH HIGHEST CONFIDENCE KBOS/KMHT AND DIMINISHING IN CONFIDENCE
FARTHER SOUTH AND WEST. MODERATE PROBABILITY OF IFR CONDITIONS AT
COASTAL TERMINALS IN THE MORNING. MODERATE CONFIDENCE NW WINDS GUSTING 30
TO 40 KTS MOST TAF SITES HIGHEST CONFIDENCE KFMH/KHYA/KACK.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

TUESDAY...VFR WITH AREAS OF MVFR POSSIBLE IN SCT RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS.
LOW CONFIDENCE.

WEDNESDAY...MVFR CONDS IN AREAS OF SNOW. NORTHEAST WINDS GUSTING 35
TO 45 KNOTS CAPE COD AND ISLANDS. MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

THURSDAY...VFR.  NLY GUSTS 20-30 KTS.

&&

.MARINE...
ROUGH SEAS 5 TO 7 FEET WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE COASTAL WATERS.
THESE SEAS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH THROUGH TODAY.  AS AN OCEAN STORM
MOVES NORTHWARD TOWARDS NOVA SCOTIA FROM THE CAROLINAS...
NORTHWESTERLY GALES ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE WATERS.  GALE WARNINGS
HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL THE WATERS EXCEPT NARRAGANSETT BAY AND
BOSTON HARBOR FOR TONIGHT AND MONDAY.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

FIRST OCEAN STORM OF THIS WEEK MOVES EAST ACROSS THE NORTH ATLANTIC
MONDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL LEAD TO DIMINISHING WINDS ACROSS THE WATERS
FOR TUESDAY. WINDS INCREASE AGAIN WEDNESDAY AS ANOTHER OCEAN STORM
MAKES ITS CLOSEST APPROACH TO THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WATERS.
ROUGH SEAS EXPECTED TO LINGER ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS THROUGH THIS
PERIOD...BUT SUBSIDE SOME TUESDAY WITH THE LIGHTER WINDS...BEFORE
BUILDING AGAIN WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS EXPECTED THROUGH TODAY...BUT OVERALL QPF
SHOULD BE LESS THAN ONE-TENTH OF AN INCH. SO SHOWERS SHOULD HAVE
LITTLE IMPACT ON RUNOFF INTO THE MAINSTEM RIVERS.

SEVERAL OF THE WARNED RIVERS SHOULD FALL BELOW FLOOD STAGE IN THE
NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS.  THIS INCLUDES THE SPICKET AT METHUEN AND THE
SUDBURY AT SAXONVILLE THIS MORNING...THE PAWTUXET AT CRANSTON THIS
EVENING...AND THE ASSABET AT MAYNARD AND THE NASHUA AT EAST PEPPERELL
MONDAY. THE CONCORD AT LOWELL AND THE CHARLES AT DOVER ARE STILL
RISING SLOWLY AND WILL CONTINUE INTO MONDAY.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
EXPECT A RESIDUAL SWELL TO PERSIST THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. BY MONDAY...
BOTH HIGH TIDE CYCLES ARE RELATIVELY HIGH ASTRONOMICALLY. A STORM
PASSING OFFSHORE MONDAY MAY CAUSE ANOTHER ROUND OF MINOR TO MODERATE
COASTAL FLOODING DEPENDING UPON HOW CLOSE THE TRACK ENDS UP AND HOW
MUCH NE SWELL DEVELOPS. THERE IS A LITTLE CONCERN OF A POTENTIAL FOR
THIS NEW LOW PRESSURE TO RETROGRADE BACK WEST A BIT. AT THIS TIME...
CONFIDENCE IS LOW AS TO THE RISK OF ANY COASTAL FLOODING MONDAY...
ESPECIALLY SINCE THE ARRIVING SWELL IS PROBABLY DEVELOPED FROM THE
NORTH AND THEREFORE WITH LIMITED FETCH ALONG THE COAST.

SO THE 13 FT PREDICTED TIDE AT BOSTON WOULD RESULT IN A MINOR EVENT...
PROVIDED ONSHORE WAVES ARE LESS THAN 10 FT AT THE COAST/LAND INTERFACE.
GREATEST RISK MONDAY APPEARS TO BE ACROSS OUTER CAPE COD WHERE BEACH
EROSION WILL ALSO CONTINUE.

NEXT WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY THURSDAY THREATENS TO BE A MORE SIGNIFICANT
COASTAL FLOOD RISK WITH ASTRO TIDES OF 11.2-11.4 FT AT BOSTON. OUR
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK HAS IT STATED AS SUCH.

THERE MAY BE A GREATER RISK OF COASTAL FLOODING WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY
THURSDAY IN ASSOCIATION WITH ANOTHER STORM PROJECTED TO MOVE 300
MILES SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET. THAT PARTICULAR STORM IS LIKELY TO
TOSS LARGER WAVES ASHORE...POSSIBLY IN THE 10 TO 15 FOOT RANGE. AT
THIS TIME...THE PROBABILITY OF 15 FOOT SEAS SHOULD BE THOUGHT OF AS
LOW TO MODERATE BUT WITH A HIGH PROBABILITY OF 10 FOOT SEAS.

THIS ASSESSMENT IS BASED ON THE UNCERTAINTY ASSOCIATED WITH THE
TRACK...INTENSITY AND ENVELOPE OF GALE FORCE WINDS ON THE NORTH
SIDE OF THIS STORM.

OTHERWISE BEACH EROSION IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN AN ISSUE THROUGH AT
LEAST NEXT THURSDAY WITH TIMES OF HIGH ENERGY SWELLS PROPAGATING TO
OUR EAST COAST.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
THE NOAA WEATHER RADIO TRANSMITTER AT BLUE HILL WILL BE OFF THE AIR
FOR MOST OF THIS WEEK...AND POSSIBLY INTO NEXT WEEK...DUE TO A BAD
ANTENNA. WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCES THIS MAY CAUSE.
