FIELD

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
410 AM EST SUN DEC 25 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE FROM NEW BRUNSWICK TO EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS WILL
MOVE OFFSHORE TODAY. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT...BRINGING A LIGHT DUSTING OF
SNOW SHOWERS TO INTERIOR SECTIONS...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF THE MASS
PIKE. HIGH PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE REGION MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT.
THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THIS WEEK HOWEVER IS A DYNAMIC STORM SYSTEM FOR
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN WITH AN
INTERIOR WINTRY MIX. HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH THE END
OF THE WEEK WITH ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM POSSIBLE NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
345 AM UPDATE... THE PATTERN HAS CHANGED OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS.
WINDS ALOFT HAVE KICKED IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND THUS THE OCEAN
EFFECT CLOUDINESS WHICH HAD BEEN MOVING STEADILY WESTWARD INTO
EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS HAS SHIFTED OFF THE COAST WITH MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES IN MANY AREAS. TRICKY CLOUD COVER FORECAST BECAUSE ALL
MODELS ARE SHOWING LOW CLOUDINESS OVERSPREADING SOUTHEAST MA AND
RI BY DAYBREAK. LATEST SATELLITE IMAGES SHOW DEVELOPMENT OF LOW
CLOUDS OVER THE SOUTHWEST HALF OF RHODE ISLAND...SO IT MAY JUST
DEVELOP...AS OPPOSED TO MOVING IN FROM THE EAST.

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FORECAST AREA...LOW CLOUDS HAVE BEEN
RACING EASTWARD ACROSS NEW YORK STATE AND THEY HAVE NOW INVADED
THE BERKSHIRES AND WESTERN CT. THESE WILL STEADILY OVERSPREAD THE
REST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY DAYBREAK SO THE QUESTION MAY BE MOOT
AS TO WHERE THE CLOUDS FORM IN SOUTHEAST MA OR RI SINCE THEY WILL
BE OVERTAKEN BY CLOUDS INCREASING FROM THE WEST. OCEAN EFFECT
FLURRIES SHOULD REMAIN JUST OFF THE COAST. THERE COULD BE SOME
MORNING FLURRIES IN WESTERN MA OR WESTERN CT SINCE RADAR SHOWS
SOME ACTIVITY BETWEEN BINGHAMPTON AND ALBANY.

OTHERWISE...A MOSTLY CLOUDY BUT DRY DAY EXPECTED. HAVE KEPT A
SMALL CHANCE OF SHOWERS...PROBABLY RAIN...IN EASTERN MA THIS
AFTERNOON PER MODEL GUIDANCE BUT DO NOT SEE A REAL TRIGGER UNTIL
TONIGHT. SOUTHWEST WINDS BECOME QUITE GUSTY THIS AFTERNOON OVER
THE INTERIOR. BUFKIT GFS PROFILE SHOWS STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES
AND GUSTS OF 20-30 MPH POSSIBLE FOR A SHORT TIME AROUND MID
AFTERNOON. AFTER A VERY COLD START THIS MORNING...EXPECTING
TEMPERATURES TO RAPIDLY RECOVER TO THE 30S...TO NEAR 40 IN
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
TONIGHT... A STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH...NOW MOVING THROUGH THE
GREAT LAKES WILL MOVE QUICKLY ACROSS THE REGION. A COLD FRONT WILL
ALSO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT. LOW PRESSURE WILL BE
FORMING ALONG THE FRONT BUT WILL NOT GET ITS ACT TOGETHER UNTIL IT
HAS PASSED US...OVER THE OPEN WATERS E/SE OF NANTUCKET...ON MONDAY.
NEVERTHELESS...THERE IS A LIKELIHOOD OF LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS
TONIGHT...MAINLY FROM 10 PM TO 4 AM...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NORTH
OF THE MASS PIKE. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT ONE-HALF TO ONE INCH OF
SNOW COULD ACCUMULATE. THE BEST CHANCES WOULD BE IN SOUTHERN NEW
HAMPSHIRE AND NORTHERN MASSACHUSETTS...ESPECIALLY NORTHERN
WORCESTER AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES.

WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM THE SOUTH TO THE NORTHWEST AND BECOME
BLUSTERY IN THE WEE HOURS OF MONDAY MORNING...WITH GUSTS TO 20-30
MPH. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL ONLY FALL BACK TO THE MID 20S TO MID
30S.

MONDAY...ANY LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD QUICKLY EXIT THE AREA
AROUND OR WITHIN AN HOUR AFTER SUNRISE. SKIES WILL BECOME MOSTLY
SUNNY AND TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE SEASONABLY COLD...IN THE
30S TO LOWER 40S. BUT IT WILL FEEL MUCH CHILLIER BECAUSE AS THE
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CRANKS UP OUT TO SEA...NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
REMAIN QUITE GUSTY...APPROXIMATELY 25-35 MPH AT TIMES. THEY MAY BE
JUST SHY OF WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

 * HIGH PRESSURE ON MONDAY BUT BREEZY
 * DYNAMIC STORM SYSTEM EXPECTED TUE INTO WED
 * A FEW DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE THROUGH BY END OF THE WEEK CAUSING
   UNSETTLING WEATHER

CONFIDENCE...
HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON.
BUT AFTER THURSDAY MORNING...MODEL SPREAD IS INCREASING AND THERE
FOR UNCERTAINTY INCREASES AS WELL. HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT A DYNAMIC
SYSTEM WILL MOVE THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND DURING THE
TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY TIMEFRAME. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY ON THE TRACK
AND TIMING BUT APPEARS THAT WINTRY PRECIP WILL OCCUR FOR THE
INTERIOR WHILE THE COASTS WILL RECEIVE A GOOD AMOUNT OF RAIN.
DETAILS BELOW. HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT THE AREA WILL BE DRY BY MID DAY
WEDNESDAY ONCE THE SYSTEM PASSES THROUGH. LOW CONFIDENCE FOR A
POTENTIAL SYSTEM FOR FRIDAY/SATURDAY TIMEFRAME. EXPECT AVERAGE TO
ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPS THROUGHOUT THE WORK WEEK.

MONDAY NIGHT...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION.
TEMPERATURES WILL RADIATE OUT TO THE UPPER TEENS TO LOWER 20S AS
WINDS BECOME CALM AND SKIES WILL BE CLEAR.

TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY...
WINDS WILL BEGIN TO TURN TO THE SOUTHWEST ON TUESDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE WATERS. STRONG WAA WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA
ALLOWING FOR TEMPS ON TUESDAY TO REACH INTO THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER
50S ALONG THE COAST...WHILE THE HIGH INTERIOR WILL SEE MID 40S. AN
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE FROM THE PLAINS WILL MOVE TOWARDS NEW
ENGLAND PRODUCING OUR NEXT SYSTEM.

THERE ARE STILL MANY VARIABLES WITH THIS SYSTEM BUT CONFIDENCE IS
INCREASING THAT IT WILL AFFECT THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AREA
DURING THIS TIME FRAME. THE 24.12 GFS CAME IN A LOT SLOWER THIS
RUN THAN PREVIOUS RUN AS WELL AS THE OTHER 12Z MODELS...EXCEPT THE
CANADIAN WHICH SEEMED TO BE CLOSE IN LINE. THE 24.12 ECMWF CAME IN
MORE AMPLIFIED WITH THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...WHICH SEEMS TO BE
THE ECMWF TREND AS OF LATE. DECIDED TO TREND TOWARDS THE 24.12
ECMWF AND THE 24.12 CANADIAN AS THEY SEEMED TO FALL IN THE MIDDLE
COMPARED TO BOTH OPERATIONAL AND ENSEMBLE MODELS.

FOCUSING ON THE SYSTEM...STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE OVER SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND BY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. GOOD AMOUNT OF SYNOPTIC
SCALE LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM AS SHOWN IN Q VECTORS. DUE TO
THE STRONG WAA...EXPECT TO SEE MAINLY RAIN...BUT DEPENDING ON TIMING
MAY SEE SOME WINTRY MIX IN THE NORTHWEST BEFORE THERMAL PROFILE GOES
ABOVE 0C. BY THE EVENING HOURS ON TUESDAY...WAA WILL STILL BE
PUSHING INTO THE REGION AND WITH TEMPS DROPPING BELOW FREEZING...MAY
SEEM SOME FREEZING RA/SLEET ACROSS THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE CWA.
GFS/NAM/ECMWF SOUNDINGS ALL POINT TOWARDS WAA INTO THE 850-900MB
LEVEL. THE GFS IS THE STRONGEST WITH 850MB +5C SO CONFIDENCE IS
INCREASING THAT WINTRY MIX WILL OCCUR. JUST UNCERTAIN ON EXACT
TIMING STILL AS WELL AS EXACT LOCATION AS LOW PRESSURE TRACK CAN
CHANGE. BY 12Z WED STRONG CAA MOVES THROUGH AND WILL EXPECT ALL
PRECIP TO CHANGE INTO SNOW THROUGHOUT THE AREA...MINUS THE COAST AS
THEY WILL STILL BE TOO WARM. AGAIN STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY SO STAY
TUNE TO LATER FORECASTS.

TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY WILL BE CLOSE TO SEASONABLE...BUT AS THE
STRONG CAA MOVES INTO THE REGION EXPECT TEMPS TO FALL FAST. LOWS
WILL IN THE IN THE LOW TEENS ACROSS THE INTERIOR WHILE THE COAST
WILL SEE LOW TO MID 20S.

THURSDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION SO EXPECT SKIES TO BEGIN TO
CLEAR AND WINDS TO GO CALM. HIGH MODEL SPREAD IN RESPECT TO POPS FOR
LATE THURSDAY AND INTO FRIDAY...SO CONFIDENCE IS LOW AND KEPT
THURSDAY DRY. TEMPS WILL STAY CLOSE TO AVERAGE IN THE MID 30S DURING
THE DAY WHILE LOWS WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER TEENS TO MID 20S.

EXTENDED...FRIDAY-SATURDAY...
HIGH UNCERTAINTY IN THIS FORECAST. MODELS TRY TO MOVE A FEW
DISTURBANCES THROUGH THIS TIMEFRAME YET TIMING AND LOCATIONS ARE ALL
OVER THE PLACE. THEREFORE TRENDED TOWARDS HPC AND PREV FORECASTER.
TEMPS AS WELL WILL REMAIN CLOSE TO AVG.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MODERATE...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

345 AM UPDATE...

TODAY... MODERATE CONFIDENCE. OCEAN EFFECT FLURRIES SHOULD REMAIN
JUST OFF THE COAST. MVFR LOW CLOUDINESS WILL DEVELOP OVER
SOUTHEASTERN MA AND RI BEFORE DAYBREAK. A SOLID AREA OF LOW
CLOUDINESS WAS OVERSPREADING WESTERN MA AND WESTERN CT AND THIS
WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA BY AROUND DAYBREAK TOO...BUT
THESE WERE HIGHER...MAINLY VFR FROM 4KFT-6KFT. SW WINDS WILL
INCREASE AND GUST UP TO 20-25 KT ACROSS THE INTERIOR FOR A SHORT
TIME AROUND MID AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND COLD
FRONT PUSH ACROSS THE REGION BRINGING A ROUND OF LIGHT SNOW
SHOWERS...MAINLY FROM 03Z TO 09Z. COULD ACCUMULATE 1/2 TO 1 INCH
MAINLY N OF MASS PIKE. COULD ALSO HAVE RAIN SHOWERS IN EASTERN
SECTIONS BEFORE CHANGING OVER TO SNOW SHOWERS THERE LATE. MVFR
CEILINGS EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE REGION. LOCAL IFR POSSIBLE IN
BRIEF SNOW SHOWERS. BECOMING WINDY LATE AS NW WINDS GUST TO 20 TO
25 KT. CLOUD CONDITIONS IMPROVING TO VFR FROM W TO E TOWARD
DAYBREAK.

MONDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE. ANY LINGERING MVFR IN NORTHEAST AND
EASTERN MA AROUND DAYBREAK WILL BECOME VFR BY MID MORNING. BIG
IMPACT WILL BE GUSTY NW WINDS...ON ORDER OF 25 TO 30 KT THROUGH
ABOUT 18Z.

KBOS TERMINAL...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE. VFR FOR ANOTHER HOUR
OR TWO SHOULD BECOME MVFR CEILINGS BY DAYBREAK..EITHER FROM LOW
CLOUDINESS DEVELOPING OR MOVING IN FROM RHODE ISLAND. CEILINGS
WILL TEETER ON THE VERGE OF MVFR AND VFR. LIGHT NW WIND WILL
BECOME SW AND INCREASE TO 15G20KT AROUND MID AFTERNOON. SHOULD
REMAIN MAINLY DRY UNTIL TONIGHT. MVFR CEILINGS EXPECTED TONIGHT
ALONG WITH A BRIEF PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS BETWEEN 06Z AND 10Z.
NW WINDS GUSTING TO 25 TO 30 KT LATE TONIGHT AND ESPECIALLY MONDAY
UNTIL AROUND 18Z.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

MONDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR.

TUESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE FOR MVFR CONDITIONS DUE TO
POTENTIAL STORM. CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE THROUGHOUT THE DAY
WITH RAIN ALONG THE COAST AND WINTRY MIX IN INTERIOR.

WEDNESDAY...MVFR TO START WITH IMPROVING CONDITIONS TO VFR POSSIBLE.
MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE FOR VFR CONDITIONS IN HIGH PRESSURE.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY... HIGH PRES PASSES ACROSS THE WATERS TODAY. AS A RESULT...
WINDS WILL BE SHIFTING TO THE S AND BECOME A BIT GUSTY...MAINLY ON
THE SOUTHERN WATERS. HOWEVER SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE NOT IN
EFFECT BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN SUPERSEDED BY A GALE WARNING WHICH
IS IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY MONDAY AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT... SW WINDS SHIFT TO W-NW OVERNIGHT AS COLD FRONT PASSES.
EXPECT SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS FOR THE NORTHERN WATERS AND GALE
FORCE GUSTS FROM THE NW FOR THE SOUTHERN WATERS LATE. SEAS ALSO
BUILD...UP TO 8 FT LATE ON THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS.

MONDAY... LOW PRESSURE INTENSIFYING TO OUR EAST WILL CAUSE A TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT. STRONG NW WINDS WITH GUSTS TO 30 TO 40 KT WILL
OCCUR UNTIL ABOUT 18Z ON MAINLY THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS. SEAS
REMAINING UP TO 8 FEET ON THE SOUTHEASTERNMOST WATERS.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...
HIGH PRES BUILDS ACROSS THE WATERS. WINDS DIMINISH ALONG WITH SEAS
THRU THE EVENING PD. WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT
ADV THRESHOLDS TUESDAY.

TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...
DEPENDING ON THE STRENGTH AND TRACK OF A DEVELOPING STORM...
ANOTHER ROUND OF GALES IS POSSIBLE FOR THE OUTER WATERS. THEY
COULD BE GALE FORCE FROM THE SOUTHEAST TUESDAY NIGHT...BECOMING NW
AND CONTINUING THROUGH WEDNESDAY. EXPECT PRECIP TYPE TO REMAIN
LIQUID.

THURSDAY...
BOTH WINDS AND SEAS WILL BEGIN TO RELAX AS HIGH PRESSURE TRIES TO
BUILD OVER THE WATERS.
