NOCERA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
310 PM EST MON FEB 28 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER WESTERN NEW YORK STATE WILL TRACK NORTHEAST
OVER NEW ENGLAND TODAY. THE ATTENDING COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE
REGION THIS EVENING. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND LATE TONIGHT WITH BLUSTERY CONDITIONS
GRADUALLY EASING TUESDAY NIGHT. DRY WEATHER CONTINUES FOR THE
MIDDLE OF THIS WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
HEADLINES...
DECIDED TO CANCEL WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR ALL OF THE INTERIOR
AS PRECIP IS EXITING THE REGION AND TEMPS HAVE CLIMBED ABOVE
FREEZING THROUGHOUT THE REGION.

WIND...
WILL CONTINUE WITH WIND ADVISORY FOR CAPE COD/IMMEDIATE SOUTH
COAST OF RI AND MA INCLUDING THE ISLANDS. MAY END ADVISORY A BIT
EARLY AS STRONGEST WINDS WILL OCCUR THRU 19Z OR SO AND THEN
SLACKEN A BIT ONCE PRES FALL CENTER AND ASSOCIATED LOW LEVEL JET
EXIT THE COAST.

THUNDER...
ELEVATED CONVECTION ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS AT 1245 PM
SHOULD PUSH OFFSHORE SHORTLY.

FLOOD WATCH...
DESPITE THE BACK EDGE OF THE RAIN MOVING OFFSHORE AT 1245 PM WILL
CONTINUE THE FLOOD WATCH FOR A FEW MORE HOURS TO EVALUATE
RIVER/STREAM RESPONSE TO HEAVY RAIN THIS MORNING. WILL LIKELY
CANCEL THE WATCH BY 4 PM.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM TUESDAY/...
EXPECT THE SFC LOW PRES TO APPROACH THE RGN INTO THE EVNG HRS WITH A
COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ACROSS THE AREA FROM DURING THE LATE AFTN INTO
THE EARLY EVNG HRS. WITH THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE WINDS WILL BACK
OUT OF THE NW AND GUST AT TIMES 30 TO 35 MPH...WITH CLEARING
CONDITIONS. TEMPS SHOULD FALL CONSIDERABLY WITH MID-UPR TEENS
ACROSS THE W-NW MA AND SRN NH...WITH LOW-MID 20S ELSEWHERE.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
28/00Z GUIDANCE IS IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH THEIR HANDLING OF THE
MID-LEVEL FLOW THROUGH THE END OF THIS WEEK. PROBLEMS START TO
ARISE FRIDAY WITH THE MODEL HANDLING OF A SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE
SWINGING AROUND A CUTOFF LOW IN THE GULF OF ALASKA. THIS SHORTWAVE
IS FORECAST TO AMPLIFY THE MID-LEVEL FLOW EARLY THIS WEEKEND...AND
PUSH EAST WITHIN A LONGWAVE TROUGH LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK. AS HAS BEEN THE CASE THIS PAST WEEK...THE GFS IS THE
FRONT-RUNNER WITH THE ECMWF TAKING A SLOWER TIMING. DECIDED TO
FOLLOW A BLEND MORE HEAVILY WEIGHTED TOWARD THE ECMWF TIMING WITH
A STRONG RIDGE EXPECTED TO BE DOWNSTREAM OVER THE NORTH ATLANTIC.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...
DECENT COLD AIR ADVECTION FOLLOWING A COLD FRONT WILL LEAD TO
GUSTY WINDS TUESDAY. THESE WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES IN.

WEDNESDAY...
WITH STRONG RIDGING ALOFT...A SHORTWAVE IS EXPECTED TO LOSE ITS
PUNCH AS IT APPROACHES SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THE SURFACE
REFLECTION OF THIS WAVE WILL BE A WEAKENING COLD FRONT CONNECTED
TO A LOW PRESSURE WELL TO OUR NORTH. LOTS OF LOW-LEVEL DRY AIR
EXPECTED OVER THE REGION...SO ONLY EXPECTING CLOUDS FOR MOST
LOCATIONS. CANNOT ABSOLUTELY RULE OUT ISOLATED SHOWERS JUST YET...
BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN THIS ASPECT.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...
THE DRY TREND FOR THIS WEEK CONTINUES...BUT COLDER AIR ARRIVES AS
THE MID-LEVEL FLOW AMPLIFIES UPSTREAM. EXPECTING BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES DURING THIS PERIOD.

SATURDAY INTO MONDAY...SIGNIFICANT DISAGREEMENTS AMONGST THE MODELS
DURING THIS TIME FRAME. TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GFS
AND ECMWF APPROACH 30 DEGREES BY MONDAY. AS MENTIONED BEFORE...
SIDED MORE WITH THE SLOWER TIMING OF THE ECMWF WITH A LARGE RIDGE
LOCATED DOWNSTREAM OVER THE NORTH ATLANTIC. DID NOT WANT TO MAKE
LARGE CHANGES TO THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME RANGE...BUT DID START
TO TREND THE FORECAST DRIER DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. ALSO TRIED TO
SMOOTH OUT SOME OF THE DETAILS WHICH ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO STATE
WITH CERTAINTY THIS FAR OUT IN TIME.

&&

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

HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAFS...ESPECIALLY WITH REGARD TO TRENDS THROUGH
00Z TUE.

20Z AMD HAVE BROUGHT CONDITIONS DOWN AT MOST TAF SITES THROUGH LATE
AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ACROSS INTERIOR WHERE LIGHT NW FLOW WILL
RESULT IN IFR/LIFR UNTIL FRONT CROSSES REGION THIS EVENING. STILL
CONFIDENT ON IMPROVING CONDITIONS WITH WIND SHIFT TO W/NW 23Z-02Z.

LLWS IS PRIMARILY A CONCERN ALONG E AND S COASTS THROUGH THIS
EVENING. ITWS AND KBOX 88D SHOWING 50-60KT AT 2000 FT AS OF 20Z
AND AGREES WITH MODEL DATA. SHOULD SEE 2000 FT WINDS APPROACH 70KT
ALONG S COAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON.

VFR TUE WITH NW WINDS GUSTING TO 25-30KT. DIMINISHING WINDS TUE
EVENING.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF. EXPECT CONDITIONS TO LOWER
A BIT MORE THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON PUSH...BEFORE IMPROVING AROUND
00Z TUE. LLWS EXPECTED TO BE AN ISSUE THROUGH EARLY EVENING WITH
SFC WINDS 290-300/11KT AND 2000 FT WINDS 240-250/55KT.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

WEDNESDAY...
MEDIUM CONFIDENCE VFR. A WEAKENING COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE
REGION FROM THE NORTH DURING THE AFTERNOON. EXPECTING LITTLE TO NO
PRECIPITATION WITH THIS FROPA. HOWEVER CANNOT RULE OUT A BKN TO
OVC LOW VFR DECK. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS FOLLOWING THE FROPA IN THE
AFTERNOON.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...
HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
S/SW LOW-LEVEL JET UP TO 70 KT DEVELOPS IN THE AFTERNOON...BUT A
STRONG INVERSION OVER COLDER WATER WILL PREVENT STRONGER GUSTS
FROM MIXING DOWN. EXPECT 20-30 KT WINDS WITH GUSTS UP TO 40 KT.
MUCH BETTER CHANCE FOR WIDESPREAD GALES TONIGHT IN COLD AIR
ADVECTION BEHIND A COLD FRONT.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

TUESDAY...
STRONG NW WINDS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE AT GALE STRENGTH THROUGH
EARLY AFTERNOON AS STRONG HIGH PRES APPROACHES THE WATERS BEHIND
EXITING LOW. SMALL CRAFT WILL BE NEEDED TO COVER BOTH WINDS AND
HIGH SEAS LATER TUESDAY.

TUESDAY NIGHT...
WINDS AND SEAS BRIEFLY DIMINISH BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS
AS A HIGH PRESSURE CRESTS OVER THE WATERS.

WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...
A WEAKENING COLD FRONT CROSSES THE WATERS LATE IN THE DAY.
CURRENTLY EXPECT WINDS TO INCREASE TO SMALL 25-30 KTS JUST
BEFORE...AS WELL AS JUST AFTER THE FROPA. SEAS WILL INCREASE WITH
TIME AS WELL. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...
WINDS AND SEAS BELOW MALL CRAFT ADVISORY WITH HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING ACROSS THE WATERS ONCE AGAIN.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
FLOOD WATCH ISSUED FOR N CT...RI AND SE MA. QPF 0.50 TO 1.5 INCHES
EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION. OUR MAIN CONCERN IS POTENTIAL FOR
CONVECTION LATE TODAY AND THIS EVENING. THIS COULD RESULT IN
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE WHERE
ANY CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP. WE THINK LESS FLOOD THREAT ACROSS N
ZONES WHERE COLDER TEMPS AND LESS RIPE SNOWPACK WILL LIMIT
SNOWMELT AND RUNOFF...SO WATCH WAS CONFINED TO AREAS S OF THE MASS
PIKE.

&&
