AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
353 AM EST SAT DEC 24 2011

.SYNOPSIS...

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION TONIGHT AND SAT...THEN MOVES
OFFSHORE SUNDAY. A DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT
MAY BRING A TOUCH OF SNOW. A BRIEF PERIOD OF HIGH PRESSURE MONDAY
INTO EARLY TUESDAY...PRIOR TO A DYNAMIC STORM SYSTEM FOR TUESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINS AND INTERIOR
WINTRY MIX. HIGH PRESSURE INTO THE END OF THE WEEK WITH ANOTHER
SYSTEM POSSIBLE INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

MODIFIED TEMPERATURE TRENDS FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS TO ACCOUNT FOR
CLOUDS NOT CAPTURED BY MOST OF THE 00Z GUIDANCE ACROSS WESTERN
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

24/00Z GUIDANCE IS IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT...SO USED THE CONSENSUS
SOLUTION AS THE BASIS FOR THIS FORECAST.

EXPECTING A HIGH PRESSURE TO MOVE FROM CENTRAL QUEBEC TODAY...
THROUGH THE SAINT LAWRENCE RIVER VALLEY AND NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND
TONIGHT...AND THE MARITIMES SUNDAY. THE POSITION OF THIS HIGH
PRESSURE TODAY IS FAVORABLE FOR OCEAN-EFFECT CLOUDS TO DEVELOP
ACROSS MASSACHUSETTS BAY...AND SPREAD OVER CAPE COD AND THE
ISLANDS. 00Z GUIDANCE IS STRUGGLING WITH CLOUDS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
WESTERN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WHICH ARE THE TAIL END OF A LAKE-
EFFECT MOISTURE PLUME. EXPECTING THIS PLUME TO GRADUALLY DISSIPATE
AS WINDS SHIFT MORE FROM THE NORTH...ONLY TO BE REPLACED WITH A
HIGHER LEVEL CLOUD DECK ASSOCIATED WITH A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE.

NOT AS CONFIDENT IN THE COVERAGE OF ANY OCEAN-EFFECT SNOW OR RAIN
SHOWERS. SURFACE LAYER IS VERY DRY AND IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO
MOISTEN UP. MOST FAVORED REGION WOULD BE THE CAPE COD AND THE
ISLANDS.

TEMPERATURES WERE A BLEND OF THE MOS GUIDANCE...INCLUDING LOCALLY
BIAS-CORRECTED VERSIONS...WHICH LOOKED REASONABLE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...

HIGH PRESSURE OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT...RESULTING IN
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS OUR REGION.

THIS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFFSHORE SUNDAY...STARTING A WARM-UP FOR
OUR REGION. EXPECTING INCREASING CLOUDS WITH THE APPROACH OF A
POTENT MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE LATE IN THE DAY. EXPECTING MOST OF THE
CHRISTMAS DAY TO BE DRY...WITH RAIN AND/OR SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLY
ARRIVING AS EARLY AS MID AFTERNOON. THE EXCEPTION TO THIS TIMING
WOULD BE ACROSS NANTUCKET AND CAPE COD...WHERE SOME OF THE
GUIDANCE IS HINTING AT ANOTHER ROUND OF OCEAN-EFFECT SHOWERS...
EXCEPT THIS TIME THE WINDS WOULD BE FROM THE SOUTHEAST OR SOUTH.
THIS WOULD BE A VERY RARE EVENT...ONLY POSSIBLE DUE TO THE CORE OF
COLD AIR DIRECTLY OVER THE WATER...THAT SHOULD BE SHORT-LIVED AS
WARMING STARTS TO TAKE PLACE.

TEMPERATURES WERE ONCE AGAIN A BLEND OF THE MOS GUIDANCE.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...

MAIN POINTS...

* COLD FRNT THRU THE RGN SUNDAY NIGHT...BECOMING BLUSTERY INTO MON
* CALM MONDAY NIGHT...BUT DYNAMIC STORM SYSTEM EXPECTED TUE INTO WED
* UNCERTAIN FCST INTO THE LATE PD WITH PERHAPS SEVERAL WEAK SYSTEMS

OVERVIEW...
MDL SOLNS IN GOOD AGREEMENT INTO THE MID-WEEK SYS. AS THE SW CONUS
CLOSED LOW TRANSITIONS INTO AN OPEN WAVE SYS THRU THE NERN CONUS...
THE QUESTION BECOMES THE EXACT SPECIFICS OF THE SFC LOW TRACK AND IF
TROUGHING WILL BE FAVORABLE AS THE ERN CONUS RIDGE DEAMPLIFIES
ALLOWING A MORE ZONAL FLOW PATTERN. CPC ENS FCST GUIDANCE KEEPS THE
AO/NAO POSITIVE...AND LITTLE BLOCKING IS EVIDENT ACROSS THE W
ATLANTIC. A PROGRESSIVE PATTERN APPEARS TO BE THE NORM.

DETAILS...

SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...
TROF AXIS SLIDES THRU THE RGN OVRNGT. BEST LIFT ATTRIBUTABLE TO
ENHANCED ASCENT VIA LEAD SHRTWV IMPULSE PROMOTING SFC CYCLOGENESIS
AND LOW-MID LVL ISENTROPIC ASCENT OF A MODEST THETAE AXIS /THRU THE
MID-ATLANTIC AND OFFSHORE NEW ENGLAND/ AHEAD OF THE ATTENDANT SFC
COLD FRNT. BEST POP CHCS MORESO OFFSHORE...BUT WILL CONTINUE CHC
POPS FOR ERN ZONES FOR A RAIN/SNOW SHOWER MIX. OTHERWISE...OVERALL
DYNAMICS OF TROF AXIS COUPLED WITH TOPOGRAPHICAL INFLUENCES ALONG W
SLOPES OF HIGHER TERRAIN WILL PROVIDE THE MEANS OF LOW-MID LVL LIFT
OF MOISTURE FETCH OFF THE GRT LKS GENERATING SNOW SHOWERS. MINS IN
THE UPR 20S TO LOW 30S /DEPENDENCE ON SLY FETCH AHEAD OF THE SFC
COLD FRNT ADVECTING HIGHER DEWPOINTS INTO THE INTERIOR...EXPECTING
MILD CONDITIONS FOR THE SE COASTAL PLAIN AND CAPE/. CONSIDERING
STEEP LAPSE RATES FROM THE SFC-H925...EXPECT A MIX DOWN OF CAA IN
WAKE OF THE SFC COLD FRNT OF 35 TO 45 MPH H925 WINDS /20 TO 30 MPH
GUSTS AT THE SFC/. ON MONDAY...THOUGH LLVL LAPSE RATES REMAIN
STEEP...HIGH PRES BUILDS INTO THE RGN ALLOWING WINDS TO SUBSIDE.
STILL EXPECTING A MIX DOWN OF H925 25 TO 35 MPH FLOW. DRY AIR AND
SUBSIDENCE BUILDING INTO THE RGN WILL ALLOW FOR GRADUAL CLEARING OF
STRATOCU THRU THE DAY. H925 AVG -3 TO -4C...MAX TEMPS AROUND THE
MID-UPR 30S.

MONDAY NIGHT...
SFC HIGH PRES IN CONTROL. MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS AND LGT/VRB FLOW
SHOULD ALLOW FOR EFFECTIVE RADIATIONAL COOLING AND MAKE FOR A VERY
COLD NGT. YET BY MORNING THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRES WILL HAVE SHUNTED
EAST ALLOWING ONSHORE SLY FLOW WHICH MAY PERTURB MINS FROM FALLING
INCREDIBLY LOW. WILL AVG MINS AROUND THE MID 20S.

TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...
WATCHING AN APPROACHING DYNAMIC SYSTEM WHICH COULD DELIVER A MODEST
RAIN EVENT FOR S/E PORTIONS OF NEW ENGLAND...WITH AN INTERIOR WINTRY
MIX. SW CONUS CLOSED LOW WILL TRANSITION AS AN OPEN WAVE TROF NEWD
FROM THE OH RVR VLY BY MORN...INTO THE NERN CONUS BY EVNG /988-990
LOW PRES/. STRONG ATMOS DYNAMICS AND DEEP LYR LIFT ALONG AND AHEAD
OF THE SYS PROMOTE FURTHER DEEPENING OF THE SFC LOW...COUPLED WITH
STRONG ISENTROPIC ASCENT OF A WARM AND MOIST CONVEYOR BELT. WILL
NEED TO MONITOR HOW EFFECTIVELY WARM/MOIST AIR WILL TROWAL BEHIND
THE SYS AND WHETHER THIS WILL POSE P-TYPE ISSUES FOR N/W FCST RGNS
/PSBL WARM TONGUE AT MID-LVLS OVER COLDER AIR AT THE SFC/. STILL
SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO TRACK OF THE SFC LOW /PRESENTLY 12Z ECMWF AND
0Z GFS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT/. AS SUCH FAVORABLE RGNS OF
DYNAMICS AND FORCING ARE BROUGHT INTO QUESTION...SO LIKELY FCST
SPECIFICS WILL CHANGE WITH TIME. WITH THE PRESENT TRACK FCST N/W OF
THE 40N 70W BENCHMARK...SHOULD BE VERY MILD FOR S/E FCST RGNS WITH
STRONG ONSHORE FLOW /GALES OVER WATERS/. STORM LOOKS TO BE OUT OF
THE RGN BY EVNG. ENS MEMBERS NOT KEEN ON A BLOCKING PATTERN ACROSS
THE ATLANTIC...SO AS BEEN THE CASE OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS EXPECT
THE SYS SHOULD BE PROGRESSIVE.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...
RETURN HIGH PRES WITH LGT/VRB FLOW INTO THE MORNING COULD LEND FOR
EFFECTIVE RADIATIONAL COOLING...ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE AREAS THAT HAVE
A LYR OF SNOW. HIGH PRES SHIFTS EWD THRU THE DAY THURS AND THUS
EXPECT RETURN S/SWLY FLOW. H925 AVG -6C...MAX TEMPS IN THE LOW-MID
30S.

THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...
AN APPROACHING CLIPPER SYS WILL LEND TO A WARM FRNT TO LIFT NWD THRU
THE RGN INTO FRI MORN WITH POTENTIAL SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY. UNCERTAIN
AS TO THE EVOLUTION OF THE SYS...WHETHER IT WILL DEEPEN THRU THE
NERN CONUS OR PROGRESSIVELY LIFT EWD. WILL LEAN MORESO TO THE ECMWF
SOLN.

FRIDAY NIGHT AND BEYOND...
PERHAPS ANOTHER SYS INTO THE WEEKEND...BUT THE SPECIFICS ON TRACK
AND EVOLUTION ARE FAIRLY UNCERTAIN. MDL SOLNS SPLIT ON WHETHER THE
FCST RGN WILL BE WITHIN A WARM OR COOL REGIME.

TODAY...
HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR FOR MOST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. MVFR AND
LOCALLY IFR CONDITIONS IN OCEAN-EFFECT SHOWERS WILL BE LIKELY
ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS...AND MAY SPREAD TO THE COAST OF
PLYMOUTH COUNTY IF SURFACE WINDS TURN NORTHEAST. ANY MVFR
CONDITIONS WILL END LATE IN THE DAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN.

TONIGHT...
HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR.

SUNDAY...
HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR FOR MOST TERMINALS. CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION
CHANCES ON THE INCREASE LATE. POSSIBLE MVFR IN SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS
CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET.

KBOS TERMINAL...
HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF. MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE IN A CLOUD BANK EAST OF
THE TERMINAL...WHICH COULD IMPACT SOME OF THE OCEANIC GATES.
SHOULD WINDS BECOME MORE NORTHEAST THAN CURRENT FORECAST...THIS
CLOUD BANK WOULD MOVE CLOSER TO THE COAST AND POSSIBLY IMPACT THE

.MARINE...

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONTINUES ACROSS THE OUTER COASTAL WATERS
TODAY...MAINLY DUE TO ROUGH SEAS WITH A PERIODIC GUST UP TO 25 KT
EARLY THIS MORNING. RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED MOST OF TODAY
INTO SUNDAY MORNING...BEFORE STARTING TO INCREASE AGAIN SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. EXPECTING SEAS TO GRADUALLY SUBSIDE THROUGH THE
DAY...AND BE BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY TONIGHT INTO CHRISTMAS
DAY.

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...
SEAS BUILDING IN RESPONSE TO STRONG SLY FLOW AHEAD OF A COLD FRNT.
COLD FRNT SHOULD BE THRU THE WATERS BY MORN WITH SEAS INCREASING IN
RESPONSE TO VERY BLUSTERY /GALES EXPECTED OVER THE S AND SE WATERS...
35 TO 40 KT GUSTS/ W/NWLY WINDS. GALE WATCH IN EFFECT FOR SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY.

MONDAY NIGHT...
HIGH PRES BUILDS ACROSS THE WATERS. WINDS DIMINISH ALONG WITH SEAS
THRU THE EVNG PD.

TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...
