AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
357 AM EDT FRI OCT 28 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER NEW ENGLAND TODAY BRINGING SUNNY SKIES
AND COOL TEMPERATURES. LOW PRESSURE MOVING OUT OF TEXAS WILL MOVE
CLOUDS ACROSS THE REGION LATE TONIGHT AND SPREAD PRECIPITATION IN
ON SATURDAY. THIS WILL BE A POTENTIAL VERY EARLY SEASON WINTER
STORM WITH RAIN AND HEAVY WET SNOW OVER THE WEEKEND. DRY WEATHER
IS EXPECT FOR EARLY TO MID WEEK WITH A MID WEEKEND LOW PRES CENTER
PROBABLY REMAINING WELL OFFSHORE. A COLD FRONT MAY PRODUCE SHOWERS
LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
STRONG GUSTY NORTH WINDS CONTINUE OVER CAPE COD AND ISLANDS.  ALSO
OCEAN INDUCED INSTABILITY WITH 850 MB TEMPS AROUND -5C AND WATER
TEMPS IN CAPE COD BAY STILL MILD IN THE UPPER 50S.  THE RESULT HAS
BEEN SOME OCEAN-EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS MUCH OF CAPE COD AND
NANTUCKET.  TEMPS AT 850 MB WILL MODERATE A LITTLE TODAY WHILE WINDS
DIMINISH...SO EXPECT THESE CLOUDS/SHOWERS TO GO AWAY.

OTHERWISE...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER NEW ENGLAND. SHOULD BE PLENTY
OF SUNSHINE WITH INCREASING CIRRUS THIS AFTERNOON.  MIXING DEPTHS
ARE FORECAST AROUND 4000 FEET AND 900 MB TEMPS FORECAST AT -2C TO
-3C...SO MAX TEMPS IN THE 40S ARE REASONABLE...SOME WARM SPOTS MAY
TOUCH 50.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
TONIGHT...
HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD/SLIGHTLY NORTH...THIS SHOULD KEEP THE WEATHER
DRY AND COOL.  WINDS COME AROUND TO EAST-NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT AND SO
WILL BE COMING OFF MID TO UPPER 50S WATER.  THIS SHOULD KEEP COASTAL
AREAS FROM COOLING BELOW FREEZING.  TEMPS WERE GENERATED FROM A
BLEND OF BIAS CORRECTED MOS.

SATURDAY...
A DIGGING UPPER TROUGH OVER THE MISSISSIPPI WILL GENERATE ANOTHER
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT...THIS ONE OVER THE SOUTHEAST
USA. THE LOW WILL THEN MOVE UP THE COAST ON SATURDAY.  THE DIGGING
TROUGH TURNS OUR UPPER FLOW FROM WEST TO SOUTHWEST...BRINGING MOIST
AIR NORTH ONCE AGAIN.

THE COASTAL LOW WILL HAVE STRONG WINDS ASSOCIATED...WITH A 50-70
KNOT EAST-NORTHEAST JET LEADING THE LOW. ISENTROPIC SURFACES SHOW
STRONG LIFT...ON THE ORDER OF 20 MB/HOUR...AND A SATURATING AIRMASS
MOVING INTO NEW ENGLAND ON SATURDAY WITH THE MOST FAVORABLE VALUES
MOVING IN FROM SOUTH TO NORTH DURING SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

TIME-HEIGHT SECTIONS SHOW LOWERING/THICKENING MOISTURE LAYER
SATURDAY MORNING AND A DEEP COLUMN OF LIFT AND MOISTURE SATURDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING.  TEMPERATURE PROFILES CLEARLY FAVOR RAIN IN THE
COASTAL PLAIN WITH BUFKIT SHOWING 2000-3000 FOOT DEEP LAYERS OF
ABOVE-FREEZING AIR AT THE SURFACE.  FARTHER NORTH AND WEST THE
PROFILES ARE COOLER...BUT TEMPERATURES ABOVE FREEZING ARE STILL
EXPECTED TO BE 1500-2000 FEET DEEP AND MAX TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
IN THE UPPER 30S AND LOW 40S. SO WE EXPECT THE PCPN TO START AS RAIN
IN THESE AREAS.

LATE IN THE DAY...TOWARD THE GATHERING GLOOM OF SUNSET...DIURNAL
COOLING...DYNAMIC COOLING...AND EVAPORATIVE COOLING WILL ALL START
TO WORK ON CHANGING THE RAIN TO SNOW.  EXPECT THIS TO FIRST TAKE
PLACE OVER THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN HILLS...THEN EXPAND SOUTHEAST.

TEMPS ARE A BLEND OF BIAS CORRECTED MOS.  POPS COME FROM A BLEND OF
21Z SREF/00Z GFS/12Z ECMWF/00Z GMOS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MAIN POINTS...
* POTENTIAL MAJOR WINTER STORM FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT
* HIGH PRES AND SEASONABLE TEMPS DURING THE MID WEEK
* ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIP TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK

OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCES...
THE KEY IN THE LONG TERM WILL BE THE POTENTIALLY STRONG AND EARLY
WINTER STORM OVER THE LATE SAT INTO SUN TIMEFRAME. GUIDANCE SUITE
IS CONVERGING ON A SOLN MORE AND MORE WITH EACH RUN...ALTHOUGH
THERE ARE DIFFERENCES OF 50+ NM THAT MAY MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON
WHERE THE BEST SNOW TOTALS ARE AND HOW MUCH FALLS. ECMWF/GEFS MEAN
ARE STILL THE COOLEST MODELS PARTIALLY DUE TO THEIR PLACEMENT JUST
SE OF THE 40/70 BENCHMARK. GFS/NAM IS JUST INSIDE THE BENCHMARK
AND THUS...A BIT WARMER. WITH SOME TIME AND DISCREPANCIES STILL
LEFT...LIKE THE GFS/ECMWF BLEND THAT HAS BEEN USED OF LATE. SO
WILL USE THESE TO POPULATE FCST,

THE DRAW OF ANOMALOUSLY COLD AIRMASS AND STRONG NEAR 1030 HPA HIGH
PRES SUN...FOLLOWING THE COASTAL STORM...LOOKS TO BE WELL
ENTRENCHED AND PROVIDES ENOUGH OF A BLOCK AT ALL LVLS TO FORCE
WAVES FROM THE W TO THE N...AND COASTAL SYSTEMS OUT TO SEA THROUGH
AT LEAST MID WEEK. WILL BEGIN TO SHOW SOME POPS DURING THE THU
TIMEFRAME THANKS TO A STRONGER TROF DRAGGING A FRONT AND POTENTIAL
DOUBLE-BARRELED SYSTEM LATE IN THE WEEK.

DETAILS...

SUN NIGHT INTO EARLY SUN...
STRONG TROF SHIFTING NEG WITH 1.5PVU SFC AT NEAR 730MB WILL SLIDE
OVER NRN PORTIONS OF THE FA DURING THIS PERIOD. THE SFC
REFLECTION...A STRONG COASTAL LOW WILL MOVE UP THE COAST AND PASS
SOMEWHERE IN THE NEAR VICINITY OF THE 40/70 BENCHMARK DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. USING THE GFS/ECMWF BLEND MENTIONED
EARLIER...TAKES INTO ACCOUNT AN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE TRACK
RESPECTIVELY. THIS BLEND ALSO ACCOUNTS FOR THERMAL STRUCTURE
DIFFERENCES WITH THE ECMWF THERMAL PROFILE SUPPORTING ALMOST ALL
SNOW FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE EVENT...WHILE THE GFS IS WARMER AND
MAY TAKE A BIT LONGER FOR CHANGEOVER.

IN EITHER CASE DYNAMICS ARE VERY STRONG WITH THIS EVENT THANKS TO
GOOD DEFORMATION AND FRONTOGENESIS IN THE CLASSIC TROWAL SENSE.
GIVEN THESE STRONG DYNAMICS...FEEL THAT MUCH OF THE AREA WILL SEE
AT LEAST SOME -SN WITH THIS CURRENT TREND THANKS TO STRONG DYNAMIC
COOLING. THE BEST BANDING LOOKS TO BE RIGHT ALONG THE CORRIDOR
MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS AFD...FROM THE N CENTRAL CT HIGHLANDS
THROUGH NRN RI AND INTO THE BOS SUBURBS. THE KEY WILL BE WINDS TO
DRAW EITHER COOL AIR OR MARINE AIR INTO THE FRONTOGENETICAL
SYSTEM...AS WINDS SHIFT TO MORE OF A N COMPONENT THANKS TO STRONG
ISALLOBARIC FLOW N OF THIS LINE...AND MAY EVEN BECOME MORE ESE S
OF THE LINE WHICH WOULD DRAW WARMER MARINE AIR TO THE COASTAL
PLAIN. THE COOL AIR MEETS WARM MARINE AIR IS ALSO A FACTOR IN THE
GENERATION OF STRONG COASTAL FRONTOGENESIS...WHICH MAY AID IN
SN/RA FALL NEAR ERN SHORES. THERE IS STILL SOME TIME TO NAIL THIS
DOWN AS THE RELATIVELY SMALL /50+ NM OR SO/ DIFFERENCES IN TRACK
COULD MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN EITHER A HIGH SN TOTAL OR A MIX.
HOWEVER...THIS WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED BECAUSE THANKS TO THE
STRONG DYNAMICS...QPF TOTALS WILL BE VERY HIGH...AND EVEN AREAS
THAT STAY MOSTLY RAIN COULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME FLOODING.

THE OTHER ISSUE WILL BE WINDS... GUIDANCE SUPPORTS 50 TO 60 KT
H92 ELY JET DURING THE PEAK OF THE STORM. WITH LLVL DYNAMIC
COOLING INLAND AND FURTHER FROM THE JET...LAPSE RATES LIKELY
UNFAVORABLE FOR BRINGING ALL THIS MOMENTUM TO THE SFC. CLOSER TO
THE COAST HOWEVER...GIVEN MARINE INFLUENCE...LLVL LAPSE RATES
COULD SUPPORT SOME OF THESE WINDS MIXING DOWN TO THE SFC. COMBINE
THIS WITH SOME CONTINUED ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES ALONG THE ERN
SHORES AND A SECOND ROUND OF COASTAL FLOODING IS CERTAINLY
POSSIBLE.

IN ANY CASE DUE TO THE NEG TILTING TROF AND CONTINUED FAST FLOW
ALOFT...THE SYSTEM WILL QUICKLY BE EXITING WITH SOME CLEARING
SKIES DURING THE DAY SUN.

GIVEN ALL OF THESE FACTORS...WITH WET SNOW FALLING ON STILL LEAFY
TREES...STRONG WINDS NEAR THE COAST...AND COASTAL FLOODING HAVE
OPTED /ALONG WITH NEIGHBORS/ TO ISSUE A WATCH FOR POTENTIAL
IMPACTS WITH THIS STORM. THE WATCH WILL INCLUDE SRN NH...MUCH OF
INTERIOR MA...AND NRN RI AND CT. PLEASE SEE THE WATCH STATEMENT
FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION.

LATE SUN INTO WED...
AS MENTIONED IN THE MODEL DISCUSSION STRONG HIGH PRES WITH COOL
AIRMASS WILL LINGER THANKS TO CONFLUENT JET NEARLY STALLED OVER
WRN ATLANTIC AND NEW ENGLAND. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE A PERIOD OF DRY
WX THROUGH MID WEEK.

THU INTO NEXT WEEKEND...
SIG DIFFERENCES IN THE HANDLING OF A LONG WAVE TROF DURING THIS
PERIOD...WILL AT LEAST HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS WITH THE POTENTIAL
PRECIP DURING THIS PERIOD.

.AVIATION /08Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

TONIGHT...
INCREASING MID AND HIGH CLOUDS. LIGHT WINDS INCREASING OUT OF THE
EAST AFTER MIDNIGHT. VFR. HIGH CONFIDENCE.

SATURDAY...
CEILINGS LOWERING TO MVFR BY MIDDAY AND IFR DURING THE AFTERNOON.
VSBYS LOWERING TO MVFR BY THE AFTERNOON WITH AREAS OF IFR LATE IN

MVFR CEILINGS/VSBYS SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH AREAS OF IFR
ESPECIALLY LATE. INCREASING EAST-NORTHEAST WINDS 15 KNOTS GUSTING
TO 25 KNOTS. HIGH CONFIDENCE THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...THEN MODERATE
CONFIDENCE SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

SAT NIGHT...
MODERATE CONFIDENCE. A STRONG COASTAL STORM WILL
IMPACT THE TERMINALS DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. IFR/LIFR IN SNOW
AND FOG OVER TERMINALS N AND W OF A BOS TO PVD LINE. WITH A MIX OF
SNOW RAIN AD FOG S AND W OF THIS LINE...MVFR/IFR HERE. THE SNOW MAY
BE MODERATELY HEAVY AT TIMES OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF SRN NH
CENTRAL AND WRN MA. N AND NE WIND GUSTS MAY REACH 30 TO 40 KT OVER
E COAST TERMINALS.

SUN INTO TUE...
MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR IS DOMINANT CATEGORY AFTER STORM
MOVES OUT EARLY SUN.  HIGH PRES WILL DOMINATE.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...
OBSERVED NORTH WINDS EARLY MORNING WERE 15-25 KNOTS SUSTAINED AND
25-30 KNOT GUSTS.  WINDS ARE DIMINISHING...SO NO FURTHER GALES
EXPECTED FOR A FEW HOURS.  THE EXISTING GALE WARNING HAS BEEN
CONVERTED TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES.  WINDS AND SEAS WILL DIMINISH
THROUGH THE DAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVERHEAD. EXPECT THE SCA
HEADLINES TO END LATER AFTERNOON/EVENING.

TONIGHT...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD BE
LIGHT.

SATURDAY...
NEXT LOW PRESSURE AREA MOVES UP THE COAST.  THIS ONE WILL GATHER
LOTS OF STRENGTH...GENERATING STRONG WINDS AHEAD AND BEHIND THE
CENTER.  WINDS JUST OFF THE DECK WILL BE IN THE 50-60 KNOT
RANGE...WITH 35-45 KNOTS EXPECTED NEAR THE SURFACE.

EXPECT INCREASING WINDS ON SATURDAY WITH THE STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS
REACHING OUR WATERS DURING THE AFTERNOON...SOONEST ON THE SOUTHERN
WATERS AND LATEST OFF CAPE ANN.  DUE TO THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF
THE WINDS...WE HAVE ISSUED A GALE WATCH STARTING SATURDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING FOR ALL OF OUR WATERS.  THE WATCH WILL CONTINUE
INTO SATURDAY NIGHT.  THERE IS A SMALL BUT REAL POTENTIAL THAT SOME
OF THOSE 50 KNOT WINDS ALOFT MAY REACH TO THE SURFACE...IF THIS
SIGNAL BECOMES CLEARER THEN THE EVENT MAY BE UPGRADED TO STORM FORCE.

SEAS WILL BUILD THROUGH THE DAY WITH HEIGHTS BY EVENING 10-14 FEET
ON THE SOUTHERN WATERS AND 5-9 FEET ON THE EASTERN WATERS.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGH TUESDAY...

SAT NIGHT...
NE WINDS MAY APPROACH STORM FORCE DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD AS A
COASTAL STORM AFFECTS THE WATERS. ROUGH SEAS AND LOW VISIBILITY IN
RAIN AND FOG IS LIKELY. FOR NOW...WITH LOW CONFIDENCE ON STORM
FORCE WINDS...WILL ISSUE A GALE WATCH FOR THIS TIME PERIOD AS THE
CHANCE FOR GALE FORCE WINDS IS LIKELY.

SUN...
WINDS AND SEAS GRADUALLY DIMINISH BUT BOTH LIKELY TO REMAIN ABOVE
SCA THRESHOLDS ESPECIALLY OVER OUTER WATERS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
THEREFORE SCA WILL LIKELY FOLLOW GALES.

MON INTO TUE...
WINDS AND SEAS DROP BELOW SCA THROUGH THIS PERIOD.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDE IS TRENDING LOWER TODAY. WINDS TODAY WILL
MOVE OFFSHORE. THESE FACTORS SHOULD MEAN NO COASTAL FLOOD
HEADLINES WILL BE NEEDED TODAY AND TONIGHT.

AT LEAST MINOR COASTAL FLOODING IS LIKELY FOR THE SATURDAY AFTERNOON
AND NIGHT HIGH TIDE CYCLES. THE SATURDAY AFTERNOON HIGH TIDE IS VERY
HIGH ASTRONOMICALLY TO BEGIN WITH...12.2 ABOVE MLLW BOSTON HARBOR.
WHILE WINDS AND A NORTHEAST FETCH WILL BE JUST BEGINNING TO
INCREASE...A SURGE OF AROUND 3/4 FT IS EXPECTED AND THAT WOULD BE
ENOUGH TO CAUSE MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ON TOP OF THE HIGH
ASTRONOMICAL TIDE. THE ASTRONOMICAL TIDE IS NOT AS HIGH FOR
SATURDAY NIGHT...FOR EXAMPLE 10.5 MLLW AT BOS HARBOR...BUT A
HIGHER SURGE OF ABOUT 1.5 TO 2 FT AND WAVES APPROACHING 15 FT
OFFSHORE WOULD LIKELY BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE MINOR COASTAL FLOODING
ONCE AGAIN. IT IS SOBERING TO NOTE THAT A TIMING DIFFERENCE OF
ABOUT 12 HOURS ON THIS STORM WOULD HAVE SET US UP FOR A
POTENTIALLY VERY SERIOUS COASTAL FLOOD SCENARIO.
