AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
604 AM EST SUN FEB 20 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES WILL COMBINE
WITH A GALE CENTER SOUTH OF NEWFOUNDLAND TO CONTINUE COLD AND
BLUSTERY CONDITIONS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TODAY. A QUICK MOVING
LOW PRESSURE TRACKING SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND WILL BRING A PERIOD OF
ACCUMULATING SNOW TO MOST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND LATE TONIGHT
INTO MONDAY. DRY BUT COLD WEATHER FOLLOWS TUESDAY...THEN MORE
WINTRY MIXED PRECIPITATION MAY AFFECT THE REGION LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
DESPITE ABUNDANT SUNSHINE ANOTHER COLD DAY FOR SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND IS ON TAP WITH TEMPERATURES REMAINING BELOW FREEZING FOR
MOST OF THE AREA. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL REMAIN STRONG ALTHOUGH NOT
QUITE AS ROBUST AS SAT. EXPECTING GUSTS 30 TO 40 MPH THIS MORNING
THEN DIMINISHING THIS AFTERNOON. THEREFORE WILL CANCEL THE WIND
ADVISORY EARLY THIS MORNING AS LATEST OBSERVATIONS IN OUR CWA AND
UPSTREAM SUPPORT WINDS BELOW CRITERIA.

HOWEVER GUSTY NW WINDS THIS MORNING WILL CREATE BITTERLY COLD
WIND CHILLS.

MAX TEMPS TDA WERE DERIVED FROM A 50/50 BLEND OF THE MAVMOS AND
THE COLDER METNAM.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY/...
TONIGHT...
WINDS FINALLY DIMINISH AS HIGH PRES CREST OVER THE REGION. HOWEVER
SHORT WAVE ENERGY CURRENTLY OVER THE PLAINS WILL QUICKLY EJECT
EASTWARD TOWARD SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. STRONG MID LEVEL JET AND
ASSOCIATED ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL RESULT IN SNOW OVERSPREADING THE
REGION LATE TONIGHT...APPROXIMATELY 06Z WESTERN NEW ENGLAND TO 09Z
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND. AN INCH OR TWO OF ACCUMULATION IS POSSIBLE BY
12Z MON ESPECIALLY ACROSS CT.

MONDAY...
MODEL CONSENSUS IS FOR A QUICK MOVING MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROF
AND ATTENDING SURFACE LOW TO TRACK ALONG OR JUST SOUTH OF 40N
LATITUDE. 00Z GFS IS FARTHER N BUT GOOD CLUSTERING FROM 00Z
NAM/ECMWF AND 03Z SREF. CONFLUENT FLOW ACROSS NEW ENGLAND SUPPORTS
A FARTHER SOUTH SOLUTION. THEREFORE WE FOLLOWED A NON-GFS
SOLUTION. IN FACT CONFLUENT FLOW WILL BE KEY TO THIS FORECAST WITH
BIG BUST POTENTIAL...AS VORTEX SLIDING ACROSS QUEBEC AND NEW
BRUNSWICK MON COULD SHIFT BULK OF QPF FARTHER SOUTH AND OFSHR! NAM
DEPICTS THIS WELL WITH MAX QPF ACROSS NYC AREA AND THEN TRACKING
ESE ACROSS LI AND OUT TO SEA. 03Z SREF ALSO HINTS AT A FARTHER
SOUTH SOLUTION WITH SNOW PROBS OF 4+ INCHES FAIRLY LOW AND FOCUSED
ACROSS SE NY STATE INTO CT AND THEN BID TO MVY-ACK AND DIMINISHING
EASTWARD WITH TIME.

SO FOR NOW WE FOLLOWED QPF CONSENSUS FROM 00Z NAM/ECMWF AND 03Z
SREF WHICH OFFER 0.25 TO 0.33 ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION EXPECT
LESS ACROSS NORTHEAST MA AND POSSIBLY MORE OVER CT. BUFKIT SUGGEST SNOW
TO LIQUID RATIOS ON THE ORDER OF 12-1 OR 15-1. THIS WOULD SUPPORT
2-4 INCHES OF SNOW ACCUMULATION WITH CLOSER TO 2 INCH AMOUNTS OVER
NORTHEAST MA AND NEARBY NH WITH UP TO 4 INCHES POSSIBLE ACROSS
CT/RI AND SOUTHEAST MA.  AGAIN KEEP IN MIND A FARTHER SOUTH SOLUTION IS
POSSIBLE WHICH WOULD YIELD LESS SNOW.

GIVEN FARTHER SOUTH SOLUTION PTYPE NOT AS MUCH OF AN ISSUE. SNOW
MAY BRIEFLY MIX WITH RAIN OR SLEET ACROSS THE IMMEDIATE SOUTH COAST AND
ISLANDS. OTHERWISE ALL SNOW EXPECTED.

GIVEN PROGRESSIVE U/A PATTERN SNOW SHOULD TAPER OFF 18Z-21Z FROM
WEST TO EAST. SO WHILE THE MORNING COMMUTE WILL LIKELY BE IMPACTED
THE LATE DAY DRIVE HOME SHOULD BE MUCH IMPROVED.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...
  * BLUSTERY AND COLD TUE WITH MODERATING TEMPERATURES WED AND THU
  * ANOTHER PRECIPITATION EVENT FRIDAY...MOST LIKELY RAIN

MODEL ANALYSIS...
THE 00Z SUITE OF MODELS IS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE LONG
TERM UNTIL THURSDAY AND ON THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.  WHILE BOTH
THE ECMWF AND THE GFS INDICATE A PRECIPITATION EVENT MAINLY
FRIDAY...THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN THE PATH OF THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM CAUSING THE PRECIPITATION.  THE ECMWF BRINGS THE LOW
PRESSURE UP ALONG THE ST. LAWRENCE VALLEY AND INTO THE MARITIMES
WHILE THE GFS BRINGS THE LOW RIGHT ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  THE
ECMWF DOES HAVE SUPPORT FROM THE GGEM WHILE THE GEFS SOLUTIONS ARE
ALL BETWEEN THE OPERATIONAL RUNS OF THE ECMWF AND GFS.  THIS BEING A
DAY 6-7 FORECAST...DO NOT FAVOR A PARTICULAR MODEL RUN AT THIS
POINT...PARTICULARLY WHEN THE SENSIBLE WEATHER IS SIMILAR REGARDLESS
OF MODEL.

DETAILS...
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...STRONG COLD ADVECTION COUPLED WITH A
TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL RESULT IN
INCREASING N-NW WINDS MONDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUING INTO TUESDAY.
THIS IN TURN WILL PRODUCE VERY COLD TEMPERATURES AND WIND CHILLS.
WIND CHILL HEADLINES MAY BE NECESSARY LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY
MORNING.  IN ADDITION...THE COLD ADVECTION WILL LIKELY RESULT IN
OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS PERSISTING OVER THE OUTER CAPE MONDAY
NIGHT AND POSSIBLY CONTINUING INTO TUESDAY MORNING.  WILL CONTINUE
SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS IN THIS AREA.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...MODELS HAVE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER
THE REGION WEDNESDAY AND PUSHING OFFSHORE THURSDAY.  A GENERAL
WARMING TREND IS INDICATED THOUGH NOT QUITE TO THE EXTENT THAT WE
SAW THE END OF THIS LAST WEEK.

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...MODELS DIVERGE OUT HERE AT DAY 6.
AS STATED ABOVE...THE ECMWF HAS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING OUT OF
THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND ALONG THE U.S./CANADA BORDER WHILE THE
GFS HAS IT MOVING RIGHT ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  THE ECMWF
SOLUTION WOULD BRING A WARM RAIN STORM TO THE REGION WHILE THE GFS
WOULD BE MORE OF A WINTRY MIX AT THIS POINT.  WILL MAKE NO MAJOR
CHANGES TO THE FORECAST AT THIS POINT.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MEDIUM...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

TODAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR. HOWEVER NW WINDS WILL REMAIN
STRONG THIS MORNING WITH GUSTS UP TO 30KT THEN DIMINISHING THIS
AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR THROUGH ABOUT 03Z THEN CIGS
LOWERING TO MVFR AROUND 06Z FROM WEST TO EAST ALONG WITH LIGHT
SNOW DEVELOPING. MVFR SHOULD BECOME WIDESPREAD 09Z-12Z ALL
TERMINALS IN LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW. AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW
ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE BY 12Z MON ALL TERMINALS WITH HIGHEST
AMOUNTS ACROSS CT.

MONDAY...LOW TO MEDIUM CONFIDENCE. BIG BUST POTENTIAL PENDING
EXACT TRACK OF LOW PRESSURE TRACKING SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND. MVFR
LIKELY IN LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW ALL TERMINALS WITH A LOW
PROBABILITY OF IFR ACROSS CT/RI AND SOUTHEAST MA IN STEADIER SNOW.
ITS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT THE STORM TRACKS FARTHER SOUTH WITH HIGHER
CIGS AND VSBYS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. FOR NOW POTENTIAL
STORM TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 1-3 INCHES ACROSS MOST TERMINALS
WITH A LOW PROBABILITY OF SLIGHTLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ACROSS CT/RI AND
SOUTHEAST MA.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR TODAY AND TONIGHT. VFR
THROUGH ABOUT 03Z THEN MVFR CONDITIONS AS EARLY AS 06Z WITH LIGHT
SNOW ARRIVING 09Z-12Z MON. MVFR LIKELY MON IN MAINLY LIGHT SNOW.
LOW PROBABILITY OF BRIEF IFR IN HEAVIER SNOW DURING THE MORNING
AND EARLY AFTERNOON. BIG BUST POTENTIAL MON AS STORM MAY TRACK
FARTHER SOUTH YIELDING HIGHER CIGS AND VSBYS AT KBOS. FOR NOW MOST
LIKELY SCENARIO IS FOR MVFR CONDITIONS ALONG WITH POTENTIAL SNOW
ACCUMULATION OF 1-3 INCHES. SNOW APPEARS TO TAPER OFF AROUND 21Z-
00Z.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

MONDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.  IMPROVEMENT TO VFR.  MVFR
CONDITIONS MAY CONTINUE ON THE OUTER CAPE IN OCEAN EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS.  NW WINDS INCREASE.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.  VFR.

.MARINE...
TODAY...
NW GALES THIS MORNING BEGIN TO DIMINISH THIS AFTERNOON. FREEZING

TONIGHT...LIGHT WINDS AS HIGH PRES CREST OVER THE REGION. LIGHT
SNOW LIKELY TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION LATE WITH VSBY LOWERING.

MONDAY...WEAK LOW ZIPS ALONG 40N LATITUDE WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE
SNOW ACROSS THE WATERS ESPECIALLY THE SOUTHERN WATERS. VSBY LIKELY
REDUCED ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTHERN WATERS.

OUTLOOK...MON NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

MONDAY NIGHT...SEAS BUILD TO 5 TO 8 FEET AS LOW PRESSURE PASSES
SOUTH OF THE WATERS.  NW WINDS GUSTING TO AROUND 25 KTS.  SCA
CONDITIONS LIKELY.

TUESDAY...SEAS DIMINISH GRADUALLY FALLING BELOW 5 FEET ON ALL EXCEPT
THE EASTERN OUTERMOST WATERS BY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.  NW WINDS
GUSTING TO 30 KTS.  SCA LIKELY.

WEDNESDAY...SEAS CONTINUE TO DIMINISH AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER
THE WATERS FALLING BELOW 5 FEET BY WEDNESDAY EVENING.  NW WINDS
SHIFT TO THE W WEDNESDAY NIGHT.  SCA FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS LIKELY
THROUGH THE DAY.

THURSDAY...SEAS GRADUALLY INCREASE AHEAD OF THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM.  WESTERLY WINDS SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST LATE IN THE DAY.
