AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
339 PM EST WED FEB 23 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL BRING MAINLY HEAVY RAIN WITH SOME SNOW/ICE FOR A
TIME ACROSS THE INTERIOR THU NIGHT/FRIDAY. A WEAKER SYSTEM MAY BRING
SOME LIGHT SNOW TO THE REGION SAT NIGHT/SUNDAY.  A THIRD LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM MAY BRING MAINLY RAIN WITH MILDER TEMPERATURES EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN CONTROL WITH CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE REGION
AT MIDDAY.

NOTED SOME WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 12Z-15Z ACROSS S NH INTO N AND CENTRAL
MA WITH A PEAK WIND OF 28 KT BETWEEN 12Z AND 13Z. SAW THIS WAS
OCCURRING IN AREAS WHERE DEWPTS WERE LOWEST...WHICH INDICATED SOME
BRIEF MIXING DOWN FROM THE BASE OF THE EARLY MORNING INVERSION AS
SEEN ON THE 12Z KCHH SOUNDING AND AMDAR AIRCRAFT EXITING KBOS AND
KPVD AT ABOUT THAT TIME. NOW THAT THE LAYER IS MIXED OUT...WINDS ARE
AVERAGING 10-15 KT WITH A FEW GUSTS UP TO 20 KT.  AS THE AXIS OF THE
RIDGE APPROACHES THIS AFTERNOON...EXPECT WINDS TO DROP OFF FURTHER.

TEMPS APPEAR TO BE REBOUNDING NICELY FROM VERY CHILLY EARLY MORNING
READINGS. MADE A FEW MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO TEMPS...BUT CURRENT
FORECAST LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...

***A WIDE VARIETY OF WEATHER EXPECTED THU NIGHT/FRIDAY...

THE MODELS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT ON THE TRACK OF LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.  MODEL CONSENSUS TAKES
THE INTENSIFYING STORM SYSTEM NEAR OR JUST INSIDE THE I-95
CORRIDOR.  SINCE WE ARE STILL MORE THAN 48 HOURS AWAY FROM THE
EVENT...THE TRACK AND ITS EXACT IMPACTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
HOWEVER...FEEL WE HAVE A MUCH BETTER FEEL OF WHAT WILL UNFOLD THAN
WE DID 24 HOURS AGO.  THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE
A VARIETY OF WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION.  THE FIRST INCLUDES SOME
SNOW/ICE ACROSS THE INTERIOR.  THE SECOND IS ADDRESSING HEAVY
RAIN/FLOOD POTENTIAL ON THE COASTAL PLAIN.  FINALLY...THE THIRD WILL
REVOLVE AROUND THE POTENTIAL FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF STRONG TO
POSSIBLY DAMAGING WINDS ACROSS RHODE ISLAND/SOUTHEAST MA.  WE WILL
GO THROUGH ALL THREE POTENTIAL HAZARDS IN THE DISCUSSION BELOW.  AS
FOR THE TIMING OF THE PRECIPITATION...IT SHOULD ARRIVE THURSDAY
EVENING FROM WEST TO EAST...WITH THE HEAVIEST COMING ON FRIDAY.

1) SNOW AND ICE POTENTIAL:
BASED ON VARIOUS MODEL SOUNDINGS THE SNOW/ICE THREAT SHOULD BE
CONFINED TO INTERIOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  AS WE ALL KNOW...THERMAL
PROFILES ARE EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO THE SLIGHTEST MODEL ERRORS.
THIS CAN HAVE HUGE RAMIFICATIONS ON PRECIPITATION TYPES AND OF
COURSE ACCUMULATIONS.  THEREFORE...SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE UNCERTAIN
AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  AT THIS POINT THOUGH IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A
MAJOR SNOW/ICE EVENT FOR MOST OF OUR REGION.  IT LOOKS LIKE 1 TO 3
INCHES OF SNOW IS THE BEST BET ACROSS NORTHWEST/NORTH CENTRAL
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.  WARMING MID LEVEL
TEMPERATURES WITH INTENSIFYING LOW LEVEL JET WOULD LIKELY TURN THE
PRECIPITATION TO RAIN FRIDAY MORNING.  HOWEVER...POCKETS OF MARGINAL
FREEZING RAIN WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN INTO
THE EARLY AFTERNOON.  MARGINAL TEMPERATURES OF 31 OR 32 DEGREES
DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS OF LATE FEBRUARY MAY LIMIT THE IMPACT OF
ICING AS OPPOSED TO IT OCCURRING NI DECEMBER OR JANUARY.  THE MAIN
CONCERN BY LATER FRIDAY MORNING WILL BE THE THREAT FOR URBAN AND
POOR DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING...ESPECIALLY WHERE SNOW CLOGS STORM
DRAINS.

THE ONE AREA WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR MORE OF A WINTER WEATHER
POTENTIAL IS IN OUR EXTREME NORTHWEST COUNTY WARNING AREA.  THIS
INCLUDES NORTHERN CHESHIRE AND NORTHERN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTIES IN
SOUTHERN NH.  THIS AREA COULD SEE A SWATH OF 2 TO 6 INCHES OF SNOW
BASED ON MOST OF THE DATA.  NOW THE GFS IS THE OUTLIER AND INDICATES
A COLDER SOLUTION WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR OVER 6 INCHES OF WET SNOW
ACROSS THIS REGION.  NOW WE CAN NOT COMPLETELY RULE THIS SOLUTION
OUT...BUT IT SEEMS A LOW PROBABILITY AT THIS TIME.  THEREFORE...NO
WINTER STORM WATCH WILL BE ISSUED AT THIS TIME.  HOWEVER...IF THE
00Z GUIDANCE TRENDS A BIT SOUTH ONE WILL HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR
SOUTHERN NH.

2) HEAVY RAIN AND FLOOD POTENTIAL ON THE COASTAL PLAIN:
A VERY BRIEF PERIOD OF WET SNOW CAN NOT BE RULED OUT THURSDAY
EVENING...BUT LITTLE IF ANY ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED.
OTHERWISE...THE MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT IN SHOWING 1.50 TO
2 INCHES OF RAIN FALLING ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN THURSDAY NIGHT
INTO FRIDAY.  THE HEAVIEST IS EXPECTED TO FALL FRIDAY MORNING INTO
THE EARLY AFTERNOON.  THIS WILL ALMOST SURELY RESULT IN A VERY MESSY
FRIDAY MORNING RUSH HOUR WITH PLENTY OF URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE
STREET FLOODING...ESPECIALLY WHERE SNOW CLOGS STORM DRAINS.  THE
RIVER FORECAST CENTER RAN A CONTINGENCY BASED ON 2 INCHES OF RAIN IN
A SHORT TIME AND IT CAUSED A LOT OF RISES BUT NO RIVER FLOODING.
THEREFORE...NO FLOOD WATCH IS PLANNED AT THIS TIME.  WILL HIGHLIGHT
THE EXPECTED URBAN/POOR DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING AND THE POSSIBLE
NEED FOR SHORT FUSED FLOOD ADVISORIES IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOK.  ALSO...WILL INCLUDE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDER FOR RHODE
ISLAND/SOUTHEAST MA WITH THE STRONG LOW LEVEL JET.

3) PERIOD OF STRONG WINDS ACROSS RHODE ISLAND/SOUTHEAST MA:
BASED ON THE EXPECTED TRACK IT APPEARS THE PORTIONS OF RHODE
ISLAND/SOUTHEAST MA WILL WARM SECTOR FOR A FEW HOURS LATE FRIDAY
MORNING/AFTERNOON.  THE NAM INDICATES AS SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL JET OF
UP TO 90 KNOTS AT 850 MB AT 18Z FRIDAY.  SURFACE TEMPERATURES MAY
SOAR INTO THE 50S ACROSS RHODE ISLAND/SOUTHEAST MA WHICH MAY ALLOW
FOR THESE STRONG WINDS TO MIX DOWN FOR A FEW HOURS.  FEEL THERE IS A
MEDIUM TO HIGH PROBABILITY THAT WE WILL NEED A WIND ADVISORY FOR
FRIDAY.  THERE IS EVEN A LOW PROBABILITY FOR A HIGH WIND
WATCH/WARNING EVENTUALLY BEING NEEDED FOR INTERIOR RHODE
ISLAND/SOUTHEAST MA WHERE BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURES GET THE
HIGHEST.  EITHER WAY...HEAVY RAIN COMBINED WITH A PERIOD OF STRONG
WINDS COULD RESULT IN SOME DAMAGE.

FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...
LINGERING PRECIPITATION SHOULD COME TO AN END FRIDAY EVENING.
HOWEVER...A BURST OF 30 TO 40 KNOT NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS WILL OCCUR
IN THE COLD AIR ADVECTION PATTERN.  IT MAY RESULT IN MARGINAL WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA ACROSS A PORTION OF THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT.
OTHERWISE...DRY AND SEASONABLY COLD AIR RETURNS LATER FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO SATURDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...
* A SECOND SYSTEM MAY BRING SNOW OR MIXED PRECIPITATION SAT
  NIGHT/SUN
* A THIRD SYSTEM MAY DELIVER MORE PRECIPITATION MON/TUE

SPENT THE MOST EFFORT ON THE FIRST SYSTEM THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY. LOTS OF MODEL SPREAD...WITH SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ON THE
FORECAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. DID NOT CHANGE MUCH IN THE FORECAST
AFTER SATURDAY.

DETAILS...

SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...
THE MODELS HAVE ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT MAY LIFT
NORTHEAST AND AFFECT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. STILL A LONG WAYS
OUT...SO WILL JUST INCLUDE CHANCE POPS FOR NOW. IT APPEARS THAT IF
THE SYSTEM DOES AFFECT US IT WILL BE AT LEAST COLD ENOUGH TO START
AS SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION. IT WOULD CHANGE TO RAIN IF THE
MORE AMPLIFIED GFS SOLUTION/S VERIFIED...BUT WOULD REMAIN SNOW FOR
MOST AREAS ON THE ECMWF SOLUTION.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...
THE GFS/ECMWF INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FOR A THIRD STORM SYSTEM
AFFECTING THE REGION MONDAY AND/OR TUESDAY. THE TIMING BETWEEN
THESE TWO MODELS IS VASTLY DIFFERENT...WITH THE GFS BEING MUCH
FASTER THAN THE ECMWF. CONFIDENCE IS QUITE LOW THIS FAR OUT...BUT
WILL CARRY A CHANCE OF RAIN OR SNOW.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MEDIUM...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

THROUGH THIS EVENING...VFR CLR.

TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR CONDITIONS.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR AND THE TAF.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS
IN RAIN ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN...WITH SNOW/ICE CHANGING TO RAIN
ACROSS THE INTERIOR FRIDAY MORNING.  WIND SHEAR LIKELY ON
FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN.  SOUTHWEST WIND GUSTS
OF 35 TO 45 KNOTS ALSO POSSIBLE LATE FRIDAY MORNING/AFTERNOON ALONG
THE COASTAL PLAIN.

FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT CONDITIONS IMPROVE
TO VFR BY LATE FRIDAY EVENING AND CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY
AFTERNOON.

SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN A PERIOD OF
MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS IN SNOW OR SNOW CHANGING TO RAIN.

&&

.MARINE...
INTO THIS EVENING...WIND GUSTS HAVE FINALLY DIMINISHED...BUT SEAS
REMAIN CHOPPY ON THE EASTERN OUTER WATERS.  HAVE CONVERTED THE
GENERAL SMALL CRAFT OVER TO ONE JUST FOR SEAS FOR THE EASTERN OUTER
WATERS. WITH SEAS CONTINUING AT 6-8 FEET WELL E OF CAPE COD AND
NANTUCKET AS SEEN ON BUOYS 44018 AND 44008...HAVE PUSHED THE SMALL
CRAFT FOR ZONE ANZ254 THROUGH 03Z.

TONIGHT...WINDS AND SEAS SUBSIDE BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA
AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES ACROSS NEW ENGLAND.

THURSDAY...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE PROGRESSES TO THE SOUTHEAST OF
NEW ENGLAND AND WELL OFF SHORE BY AFTERNOON. CALM WINDS IN THE
MORNING SHALL TURN S-SWLY BY AFTERNOON. THERE WILL BE THE
POTENTIAL FOR SUCH FLOW TO INCREASE TO 20 KTS BY EVENING...ESPECIALLY
FOR THE SOUTHERN AND SOUTHEASTERN SHORELINE OF NEW ENGLAND.
NEVERTHELESS BOTH WINDS AND SEAS REMAIN BELOW SCA CRITERIA.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SCA
THRESHOLDS THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING.  HOWEVER...INTENSIFYING LOW
PRESSURE WILL CAUSE WINDS AND SEAS TO INCREASE TO SCA THRESHOLDS
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS TOWARDS 12Z FRIDAY.  WINDS WILL FURTHER
INCREASE ON FRIDAY AS A VERY STRONG SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL JET
DEVELOPS.  DESPITE THE INVERSION...THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE OF 40 KNOT
WIND GUSTS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS.  THEREFORE...HAVE HOISTED A
GALE WATCH.  SEAS WILL LIKELY BUILD TO 10 TO 15 FEET ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN OUTER-WATERS ON FRIDAY.

FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...COLD ADVECTION BEHIND THE SYSTEM WILL
BRING STRONG NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS FRIDAY NIGHT.  THERE IS A MEDIUM
TO HIGH PROBABILITY FOR A PERIOD OF GALE FORCE GUSTS WHICH WE WILL
HIGHLIGHT IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.  WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH
SOME ON SATURDAY...BUT 20 TO 25 KNOT NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS WILL
LIKELY CONTINUE IN THE COLD AIR ADVECTION PATTERN.

SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WIND GUSTS ACROSS
THE OPEN WATERS WILL LIKELY DIMINISH.
