AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
730 AM EST MON MAR 7 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS MORNING WILL MOVE TO
THE MARITIMES TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS OVER THE REGION
FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. LOW PRESSURE MOVES OUT OF THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS TUESDAY AND WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE SIGNIFICANT
RAINFALL TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
UPDATE TO MODIFY HOURLY TEMPERATURES...MODIFY POPS...REMOVE THE FLOOD
WATCH AS HEAVY RAIN HAS PUSHED EAST OF THE AREA. WILL HOLD ON TO
THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY UNTIL 15Z FOR SPOTTY LIGHT FREEZING
RAIN BRIEFLY CHANGING OVER TO SLEET AND SNOW BEFORE ENDING.

LOW PRESSURE NEAR WILLIMANTIC CT AT 12Z IS ON A PATH THAT WOULD
TAKE IT ACROSS NORTHERN RI...SOUTHEAST MASS LATER THIS MORNING
THEN OFF THE COAST BY 18Z.

THIS PATH SHOULD KEEP A MILD SOUTH FLOW IN THOSE AREAS UNTIL THE
LOW PASSES...THEN A WIND SHIFT TO NORTHWEST WILL BRING IN COLDER
AIR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY. MEANWHILE TEMPERATURES IN THE 30S
ACROSS WESTERN CT...WESTERN/CENTRAL MASS...SOUTHERN NH SHOULD
REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL THE LOW CENTER PASSES...THEN COLDER AIR FROM
NY AND VERMONT WILL BE DRAWN SOUTHEAST. GIVEN THIS
PATTERN...DAYTIME MAX TEMPS SHOULD BE THIS MORNING WITH FALLING
TEMPS THROUGH THE 30S AND UPPER 20S DURING THE REMAINS OF THE DAY.

THE PRIMARY LIFT SUPPLIED BY THE LOW IS TO ITS EAST AND NORTH. AS
THE LOW MOVES PAST SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...THIS SHOULD DISPLACE THE
LIFT AND DEEP MOISTURE TO OUR NORTH. ALREADY...SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS A DRY SLOT FEEDING NORTHEAST AND RADAR SHOWS A BACK EDGE TO
THE PRECIP MOVING TOWARD THE SOUTHERN COAST. SO WE EXPECT
PRECIPITATION TO TAPER OFF THIS MORNING...EARLIEST ALONG THE SOUTH
COAST OF RI AND LATEST IN SOUTHERN NH.

THE COLDER TEMPS BROUGHT FREEZING RAIN TO SOUTHERN VT AND SLEET TO
THE ALBANY AREA. AS THIS COLDER AIR IS DRAWN SOUTHEAST IT MAY
INTERSECT THE TAIL END OF THE PRECIPITATION. THIS WOULD MEAN A
PERIOD FREEZING RAIN OR SLEET IN OUR NORTHWEST FORECAST AREA
INCLUDING CHESHIRE COUNTY...FRANKLIN COUNTY...AND THE EAST SLOPES
OF THE BERKSHIRES. ANY ICY WEATHER SHOULD TAPER OFF LATE MORNING.
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY CONTINUES UNTIL 16Z.

THE SUPPORTING UPPER TROF WILL MOVE ACROSS AROUND MIDDAY. THIS
SHOULD KEEP SKY COVER THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY IN
SOUTHERN NH AND WESTERN MASS. BUT THE OVERALL TREND WILL BE FOR
AFTERNOON CLEARING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
TONIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER NEW ENGLAND. EXPECT A MOSTLY
CLEAR NIGHT WITH DIMINISHING WIND. UPSTREAM MIN TEMPERATURES
SUNDAY MORNING WERE 15-25. UPSTREAM MIN TEMPS THIS MORNING WERE IN
THE 20S...BUT WITH CLOUDY SKIES. WE TEND TOWARD THE COLDER
RANGE...WITH MAV AND MET VALUES CONCURRING.

TUESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE TO OUR NORTH WITH A LIGHT NORTH
TO NORTHEAST FLOW ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. A THE SAME TIME A
WEAK SHORTWAVE AND 100 KNOT JET RACE ACROSS PROVIDING SOME HIGH
CLOUDS BUT LITTLE ELSE. PROJECTED MIXING DEPTH ARE AT 2500-3000
FEET. THE 925 MB TEMPS ARE FORECAST AT -1C TO -4C...THIS SHOULD
SUPPORT MAX TEMPS IN THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S. MOS AGREES.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND AN H5 RIDGE
AXIS WILL CREST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH SEASONABLY COLD AND
DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...THE NEXT COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM
THE GREAT LAKES REGION BY THURSDAY. MEANWHILE STRONG HIGH PRESSURE
NEAR NOVA SCOTIA WILL ALLOW FOR COLD AIR DAMMING ACROSS THE
INTERIOR. WARM MOIST AIR OVERRIDING LEFTOVER COLD AND DRY AIR AT THE
SURFACE WILL ALLOW FOR SOME MIXED PRECIPITATION TO START THE EVENT.
STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL TRANSPORT MILDER AIR ACROSS THE CWA
ALLOWING FOR A CHANGEOVER TO RAIN. THE 00Z GFS AND ECMWF REMAIN
PROGRESSIVE AND ALLOW FOR A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE FRIDAY. THE UKMET
IS A TAD SLOWER WHILE THE GGEM IS THE LEAST PROGRESSIVE OF THE
OPERATIONAL RUNS...DEVELOPING A CUTOFF WEST OF NEW ENGLAND. THIS
PROMOTES A SURFACE WAVE FORMING ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST.  AN
ALTERNATE SOLUTION WOULD BE FOR CUTOFF LOW PRESSURE TO FORM SOUTH OF
THE AREA AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE NORTHERN ATLANTIC.
THIS WOULD BRING A PROLONGED PERIOD OF COASTAL WIND AND RAIN TO THE
AREA. STILL MUCH DIVERGENCE AMONGST THE ENSEMBLE DATA AT THIS POINT.
HAVE CONTINUED CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS FOR THE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY
TIMEFRAME.

SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...ADDITIONAL SHORT WAVE ENERGY APPROACHES
FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS STATES LATE SATURDAY. SOME QUESTION AS TO
THE TIMING AND TRACK OF THE SHORT WAVE AT THIS POINT. HAVE LOW CHANCE
POPS ADVERTISED SATURDAY WITH DRY CONDITIONS SUNDAY ATTM.

&&

.AVIATION /13Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MEDIUM...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

TODAY...LINGERING IFR/LIFR WITH THE FINAL STAGES OF RAIN. LOW
PRESSURE MOVES EAST OF MASSACHUSETTS AND WINDS BECOME NORTHWEST
EVERYWHERE...PRECIPITATION SHOULD END. CONDITIONS WILL THEN
IMPROVE TO MVFR THIS MORNING AND THEN VFR IN THE AFTERNOON.

SOUTH WINDS EARLY MORNING WILL GUST TO 30-35 KNOTS ALONG THE SOUTH
COAST AND 25 TO 30 KNOTS IN THE INLAND AREAS EAST OF A WORCESTER-
WILLIMANTIC LINE. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON
WITH GUSTS AROUND 30 KNOTS.

EARLY MORNINGSOUTH WINDS ALOFT AT 2000 FEET REACH 65 KNOTS...THIS
WILL CAUSE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR ACROSS EASTERN MASSACHUSETSS AND
RHODE ISLAND UNTIL THE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE MOVES PAST AROUND 12Z.

HIGH CONFIDENCE.

TONIGHT...VFR. DIMINISHING NORTHWEST WIND. HIGH CONFIDENCE.

TUESDAY...VFR. LIGHT NORTH TO NORTHEAST WIND. HIGH CONFIDENCE.

KBOS TERMINAL...MVFR CONDITIONS VARYING TO IFR IN HEAVIER SHOWERS

TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...MEDIUM TO HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...VFR DIMINISHING TO MVFR BY THURSDAY
MORNING WESTERN TERMINALS WITH SOME LIGHT MIXED PRECIPITATION
DEVELOPING BY THAT TIME. OTHERWISE WIDESPREAD MVFR CEILINGS LATE
THURSDAY DETERIORATING TO IFR IN RAIN AND FOG. LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR
POSSIBLE LATE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT AS A STRONG SOUTHERLY JET
APPROACHES AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT.

FRIDAY...AREAS OF MVFR/IFR CEILINGS AND VSBYS IN RAIN AND FOG WITH
POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENT FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. LOW CONFIDENCE ON TIMING OF THE FROPA ATTM.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS RI AND SOUTHEAST MASS THIS
MORNING. SOUTH WINDS LEADING THE LOW HAVE GUSTED TO GALE FORCE IN
SOME COASTAL LOCATIONS AND AT LEAST TO 30 KNOTS ELSEWHERE. EXPECT
THIS TO CONTINUE THROUGH 2 PM AS WINDS SHIFT TO SOUTHWEST AND THEN
NORTHWEST WITH COOLER AND DRIER AIR ADVECTING EAST. THE SURFACE
LOW WILL MOVE NORTHEAST TO THE COAST OF MAINE THIS EVENING. WINDS WILL
THEN SHIFT TO NORTHWEST WITH GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS. WE WILL CONTINUE
GALES ON THE OUTER WATERS AND ON CAPE COD BAY/NANTUCKET SOUND
UNTIL 2 PM. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS OTHERWISE THROUGH THE
DAY.

TONIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE WATERS. WINDS AND SEAS
WILL DIMINISH...EARLIEST ON BOSTON HARBOR AND NARRAGANSETT BAY AND
LATEST ON THE OUTER WATERS.

TUESDAY...ROUGH SEAS LINGER ON THE OUTER WATERS. WINDS AND SEAS
BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA ON THE REMAINING WATERS.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...SCA CONDITIONS OUTER WATERS PRIMARILY
