AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1258 PM EST THU JAN 28 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY SNOW SHOWERS AND SQUALLS
AS IT SWEEPS ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  MUCH
COLDER AIR WILL FOLLOW FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS OVER THE REGION SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...THEN ANOTHER COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE THROUGH ON SUNDAY NIGHT BRINGING MORE BELOW NORMAL COLD
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
LOWERED MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES TODAY AS CLOUDS HAVE MOVED INTO THE
AREA. SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE WITH THE ARRIVAL OF A LEADING SHORT WAVE
AND SPEED CONVERGENCE WITH THE NOSE OF A H85 JET MAXIMUM. FALLING
TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE INTERIOR AS THE ARCTIC COLD
FRONT ARRIVES.

SHOULD HAVE A BRIEF BREAK IN THE PRECIPITATION THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE
THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT APPROACHES. NOTING A LINE OF SNOW SHOWERS AND
SQUALLS FROM ABOUT AT UTICA TO BINGHAMTON LINE AT 17Z. EXTRAPOLATION
BRINGS THESE SNOW SHOWERS AND SQUALLS INTO WESTERN NEW ENGLAND
BETWEEN 3PM AND 5PM THIS AFTERNOON...AND EASTERN NEW ENGLAND FROM 5PM
TO 7PM. GIVEN THE IMPACT AND TIMING OF LOCALLY REDUCED VSBYS...WIND
GUSTS AND QUICKLY FALLING TEMPERATURES DURING THE EVENING COMMUTE...HAVE
DECIDED TO ISSUE AN SPS.

WIND ADVISORIES MAY BE NECESSARY TONIGHT WITH SUSTAINED WINDS AROUND
27 KT WITH GUSTS TO 40 KT WILL BE POSSIBLE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
TONIGHT...EXPECT PRECIP TO PUSH OFFSHORE BY MIDNIGHT. W
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BLOW AS COLD AIR ADVECTION BRINGS H85 TEMPS
DOWNWARD. H85 JET AT 45-50 KNOTS ALSO REMAINS ACROSS CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN AREAS OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR EXCELLENT
MIXING...EVEN AT NIGHT. WILL SEE WIND GUSTS AT 35-40
KTS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST AND ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

CLOSE TO ISSUING WIND ADVISORIES ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS...
BUT QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER THE 3 HOUR CRITERIA IS MET. HAVE HELD OFF
FOR NOW...BUT IT WILL BE CLOSE.

TEMPS WILL DROP LIKE A ROCK...WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS AND TEENS. THIS COMBINED WITH THE WINDS WILL PRODUCE WIND
CHILL READINGS DOWN TO ZERO TO 10 BELOW /LOWEST READINGS ACROSS THE
HIGHER TERRAIN/. AS THE TEMPS FALL...ANY PRECIP THAT FELL WILL
QUICKLY FREEZE UP...SO COULD SEE SOME PROBLEMS WITH UNTREATED
SURFACES.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
GENERALLY DRY AND COLD PATTERN FOR MUCH OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD WITH
A PERIOD OF OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE ON THE CAPE.

FRIDAY...UPPER LOW MOVES OFF THROUGH THE MARITIMES. PRESSURE RISES OF
5 MB/HOUR WILL TIGHTEN THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT CAUSING STRONG
SUSTAINED WINDS. THE STRONG COLD ADVECTION WILL ALSO PROMOTE MIXING
THROUGH THE LOWEST 3500-4500 FEET OF THE ATMOSPHERE...AND WINDS AT
900 MB ARE FORECAST AT 40-45 KNOTS OVER MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA.
THIS MEANS A POTENTIAL FOR A WIND ADVISORY.

900 MB TEMPS ARE FORECAST AT -17C TO -20C...EQUIVILENT TO -21C TO
-24C AT 850 MB. WITH FULL MIXING THIS WOULD SUPPORT MAX TEMPS OF 15
TO 20. 00Z MET GUIDENCE WAS THE CLOSEST OF THE MOS BUT STILL LOOKED A
TAD WARM...SO WE BLENDED THE MET WITH NAM 2M TEMPS. THE COMBINATION
OF THESE TEMPS AND THE WIND WILL MEAN DAYTIME WIND CHILLS FROM +5 TO
-5F.

WITH MINUS -19C AIR AT 850 MB AND 5C SEA SURFACE TEMPS EAST OF
MASS...THE WEST-NORTHWEST WIND WILL GENERATE OCEAN EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS. THIS PARTICULAR FETCH FAVORS BANDS THAT FORM JUST EAST OF
MASSACHUSETTS BAY AND EXTEND JUST EAST OF THE OUTER CAPE.

FRIDAY NIGHT...WIND DIMINISH A LITTLE BUT STILL A BITTER WIND CHILL
WITH POTENTIAL FOR OVERNIGHT CHILLS OF -15F OR COLDER ESPECIALLY IN
WESTREN AND CENTRAL MASS AND SOUTHWEST NH. A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MAY
BE REQUIRED AT THAT TIME.

SATURDAY...COASTAL LOW THAT HAD OUR ATTENTION EARLIER IN THE WEEK NOW
LOOKS TO STAY WELL OFFSHORE...PUSHED ALONG BY A ZONAL UPPER FLOW.
MAIN EFFECT OF THE STORM MAY BE TO TURN WINDS FROM WEST-NORTHWEST TO
DUE NORTH SATURDAY NIGHT...WHILE TEMPS OVER MASSACHUSETTS BAY REMAIN
COLD ENOUGH TO KEEP THE OCEAN EFFECT MACHINE RUNNING. THIS WOULD
BRING THE SNOW SHOWERS INTO MUCH OF CAPE COD WITH LOCAL ACCUMULATIONS
POSSIBLE. WE HAVE ADVERTISED CHANCE POPS FOR THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.

SUNDAY...SURFACE WINDS TURN BACK TO NORTHWEST. THIS WOULD END ANY
OCEAN EFFECT SNOWS FOR THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. ANOTHER WEAK FRONT DIVES
INTO NORTHREN NEW ENGLAND LATE SUNDAY...THIS SHOULD BRING AN
INCREASE IN CLOUDS TO TO SOUTHERN NH AND BORDER AREAS SUNDAY NIGHT.

MONDAY...COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH EARLY MONDAY. TEMPS ALOFT WHICH
MODERATED TO -15C ON SUNDAY WILL COOL A LITTLE MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
THEN BUILDS OVER THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY.

NEXT CHC FOR PRECIP WILL BE SOMETIME LATE TUE INTO WED AS EC/GFS
SHOW NEXT SHORTWAVE APPROACHING.  OBVIOUSLY...TIMING THIS FAR OUT IS
UNCERTAIN.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THROUGH EARLY EVENING...HIGH CONFIDENCE OF IFR SNOW SHOWERS MOVING
THROUGH SNE WITH MAIN FOCUS THROUGH 20Z ACROSS RI AND E MA. THEN WILL
HAVE TO WATCH LINE OF HEAVY SNOW SHOWERS/SQUALLS ASSOCD WITH ARCTIC
FRONT WHICH WILL BE MOVING INTO SNE FROM E NY 20-23Z. HIGHEST
CONFIDENCE OF IFR CONDITIONS WITH THE ARCTIC FRONT WILL BE ACROSS
INTERIOR TERMINALS AS BEST UPPER LEVEL FORCING IS FOCUSED TO THE
NORTH...BUT IFR ALSO POSSIBLE NEAR THE COAST...LOW CONFIDENCE.

SW WIND GUSTS TO 25 KT AHEAD OF THE FRONT...THEN GUSTS TO 35 KT
LIKELY AS ARCTIC FRONT MOVES THROUGH.

TONIGHT...EXPECT CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE TO VFR 00-03Z. W-NW WIND
GUSTS 30-35 KTS LIKELY.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

FRIDAY...VFR WITH W/NW GUSTS TO 35 TO 40 KT.

SATURDAY...VFR DURING THE DAY AS OFFSHORE STORM PASSES WELL SOUTH OF
NEW ENGLAND. MVFR CIGS/VSBYS POSSIBLE FMH-HYA-ACK SATURDAY NIGHT IN
DEVELOPING OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS AS WINDS TURN NORTH.

SUNDAY...VFR...EXCEPT LINGERING MVFR POSSIBLE IN SNOW SHOWERS HYA-
ACK IN THE MORNING.

MONDAY...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...SWELLS CONTINUE AT AROUND 5 FT ON THE OUTER WATERS BUT WINDS
HAVE DIMINISHED. HOWEVER...EXPECT WINDS TO PICK UP AHEAD OF AND
ESPECIALLY AFTER THE ARCTIC FRONT PASSES. EXPECT GALE FORCE GUSTS
AFTER 18Z. HAVE PUT UP GALE WARNINGS FOR ALL WATERS.

TONIGHT...EXPECT GALE FORCE WINDS TO CONTINUE WITH STRONG COLD AIR
ADVECTION AND EXCELLENT MIXING. HAVE GUSTS UP TO 45 KT MENTIONED.
COULD SEE SOME GUSTS TO 50 KT ON THE OUTER WATERS...BUT HAVE LEFT
OUT FOR NOW.

ALSO HAVE MENTIONED MODERATE FREEZING SPRAY MAINLY FOR THE NEARSHORE
WATERS. MAY SEE POCKETS OF HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY...BUT HAVE NOT
MENTIONED AT THIS POINT. WILL ALSO SEE OCEAN SNOW SHOWERS MAINLY ON
THE OUTER WATERS WITH THE OFFSHORE WINDS.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

FRIDAY...NORTHWEST GALES PERSIST FRIDAY. WINDS DIMINISH FRIDAY NIGHT.
THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR MODERATE TO OCNL HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY AS
ARCTIC AIR POURS INTO THE REGION. THERE IS A MEDIUM PROBABILITY THAT A
HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY WARNING WILL BE NEEDED. OCEAN EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS SHOULD DEVELOP OVER OR EAST OF MASSACHUSETTS BAY AND WILL
EXTEND JUST NORTH AND EAST OF OUTER CAPE COD.

SATURDAY...WINDS AND SEAS DIMINISH SATURDAY...AND MAY DROP BELOW
SMALL CRAFT LEVELS FOR A TIME OVER THE WEEKEND. EXPECT WINDS AND SEAS
TO INCREASE TO SMALL CRAFT LEVELS SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY AS ANOTHER
COLD FRONT APPROACHES.
