AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
328 PM EDT TUE MAR 15 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER NEW ENGLAND WILL MOVE OFFSHORE LATE TODAY AND
TONIGHT. A QUICK MOVING LOW PRESSURE WILL BRING A PERIOD OF RAIN
VERY LATE TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...WHICH WILL LIKELY BEGIN AS SOME
MIXED PRECIPITATION IN THE DISTANT INTERIOR. UNSEASONABLY MILD
WEATHER WILL FOLLOW THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...BEFORE A COLD FRONT
BRINGS A RETURN TO MORE SEASONABLE WEATHER NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
LOW CLOUDS HAVE DISSIPATED ACROSS MASSACHUSETTS AND NEW
HAMPSHIRE...WHILE LOW TO MID LEVEL CLOUDS OVER NEW YORK CITY
STREAM INTO NORTHERN CONNECTICUT.

HIGH PRES OVER SNE THIS MORNING WILL MOVE OFFSHORE LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. THIS WILL KEEP THINGS MOSTLY DRY TONIGHT...PARTICULARLY
ACROSS EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLAND. WITH HIGH PRESSURE
JUST OFFSHORE AND THUS LIGHT WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES...WILL SEE SOME
RADIATIONAL COOLING TONIGHT...COOLING THE AIR NOT JUST AT THE
SURFACE BUT IN THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE AS WELL.

MOISTURE AND LIFT INCREASE ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA
AFTER MIDNIGHT AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES THE AREA.
WENT WITH A BLEND OF SREF AND THE PREVIOUS FORECASTED POPS
BRINGING IN CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS TO WESTERN MASS AND CT BY
SUNRISE. ABOVEMENTIONED COOLING WILL RESULT IN WINTRY PRECIP TO
START ACROSS MUCH OF CT...WESTERN MA...AND SW NH TONIGHT. NAM AND
GFS BUFKIT SOUNDINGS ARE PAINTING SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PICTURES...
WITH THE NAM INDICATING A PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN LATE TONIGHT
AND/OR EARLY TOMORROW MORNING WHILE THE GFS INDICATING THE WINTRY
PRECIP WILL BE ALL SNOW.  NOT EXPECTING MUCH ACCUMULATION
/GENERALLY AN INCH OR LESS/.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS VERY PROGRESSIVE...SO POPS INCREASE
QUICKLY FROM WEST TO EAST ON WEDNESDAY AS THE LOW MOVES THROUGH
SNE. QPF GENERALLY RANGING FROM HALF AN INCH TO THREE QUARTERS OF
AN INCH. MAY SEE A FEW BRIEF PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN...PARTICULARLY
ACROSS SE MASS AND RI WHERE THE NOSE OF A LLJ SETS UP. MODELS ARE
INDICATING SOME MODEST INSTABILITY...SO SOME ISOLATED EMBEDDED
THUNDER IS POSSIBLE...BUT NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO PUT IN THE GRIDS
AT THIS TIME.

THERE IS SOME CONCERN FOR A PERIOD OF STRONG WIND GUSTS NEAR THE
COAST. AGAIN THE UNCERTAINTY LIES WITH DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE NAM
AND GFS. THE NAM SOUNDINGS HAVE 60 KT WINDS AT 2-3K FT...BUT THE
GFS SOUNDINGS HAVE ONLY 40 KT WINDS AT THAT LEVEL. AT THIS POINT...
BELIEVE WIND GUSTS WILL REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS.

RAIN MOVES OUT OF THE AREA QUICKLY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING
AS THE LOW PRESSURE MOVES NORTHEASTWARD ALONG THE MAINE COAST AND
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION. SHOULD SEE PARTLY CLOUDY
SKIES OVERNIGHT AND TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 30S.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT EARLY IN THE LONG TERM
PERIOD...WITH A RATHER BROAD...FAST FLOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER
STATES THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. THE POLAR FRONT WILL WAVER
ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER...WITH CHANGEABLE WEATHER LATE THIS WEEK
INTO THE WEEKEND. BEYOND THIS...LOOKS LIKE DRY BUT COOLER WEATHER
WILL RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK.

DETAILS...

WEDNESDAY NIGHT...FAST MOVING LOW WILL CROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND...
WITH ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT PUSHING OFFSHORE EARLY. WILL SEE
LEFTOVER SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS E MA...THEN CONDITIONS IMPROVE
THROUGH THE NIGHT. EXPECT LOWS FALLING BACK TO THE 30S BY MORNING.

THURSDAY-FRIDAY...SURFACE RIDGE MOVES ACROSS NEW ENGLAND WITH RATHER
FAST UPPER FLOW AS BROAD UPPER RIDGE MOVES IN BY FRIDAY. THURSDAY
LOOKS TO BE A MAINLY SUNNY DAY WITH TEMPS TOPPING OFF IN THE 50S
EXCEPT HOLDING IN THE MID-UPPER 40S ACROSS THE OUTER CAPE AND
ISLANDS.

BY FRIDAY...EXPECT CLOUDS TO WORK IN AHEAD OF NEXT SYSTEM. A WARM
FRONT WILL START TO DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND...WHICH WILL
ALLOW INCREASING SW FLOW TO BRING REALLY MILD TEMPS TO THE REGION.
LOOKS LIKE BEST LIFT AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE WILL REMAIN
N OF THE REGION...BUT CAN NOT RULE OUT SCT SHOWERS ACROSS S NH INTO
THE E SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES. SW WINDS WILL ALSO PICK UP. DAYTIME
HIGHS WILL SOAR TO THE MID 50S TO AROUND 60...EXCEPT AROUND 50 ON
THE OUTER CAPE AND ISLANDS WITH WINDS OFF THE WATER.

FRIDAY NIGHT-SATURDAY...MODELS APPEAR TO HAVE A BIT BETTER AGREEMENT
WITH KEEPING LOW PRES MOVING OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES INTO SOUTHERN
QUEBEC. WITH THE BROAD NATURE OF THE UPPER FLOW...LEANED TOWARD THE
WEAKER 12Z ECMWF RUN WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT.
EXPECT THIS LOW TO SWIFTLY MOVE ALONG...PUSHING ITS ASSOCIATED FRONT
OFFSHORE SATURDAY MORNING. FOR NOW...DO EXPECT IMPROVING CONDITIONS
BUT SOME MODELS ARE HINTING THAT CLOUDS WILL LINGER. ALSO...THE 00Z
ECMWF ACTUALLY HANGS MOISTURE BACK ACROSS NY/PA...WHICH MAY PUSH
THROUGH WITH ANOTHER SHOT OF PRECIP DURING SATURDAY. HELD THIS OUT
FOR NOW BUT SOMETHING TO WATCH.

WITH THE CURRENT SOLUTION USED...GOOD COLD AIR ADVECTION WORKS IN
BEHIND THE FRONT...WHICH MEANS VERY GOOD LOW LEVEL MIXING ALONG WITH
A RATHER STRONG LOW LEVEL JET MOVING ACROSS /40-45 KT AT H850/.
SO...SHOULD BE RATHER BLUSTERY ESPECIALLY FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH
EVENING WHEN WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH. WILL BE COOLER WITH HIGHS
RANGING FROM THE MID-UPPER 40S ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN WELL INLAND
TO THE MID 50S.

SUNDAY AND MONDAY...USED A BLEND OF THE 00Z GFS ALONG WITH THE GFS
AND ECMWF ENSEMBLES AS RATHER WIDE MODEL SPREAD IN PUSHING SURFACE
SYSTEMS ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER. SO...FOR NOW...HAVE BROUGHT DRY
AND SEASONABLE WEATHER AS HIGH PRES BUILDS ACROSS FOR SUNDAY AND
MONDAY. NOT A LOT OF CONFIDENCE ON THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MEDIUM...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

THROUGH 00Z...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR EXCEPT MVFR CIGS ACROSS
MUCH OF CT. LIGHT S-SE WINDS PERSIST.

TONIGHT...VFR TO START AND THEN MVFR IN RAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT
BDL/BAF AND TOWARD MORNING FROM MHT/BOS/PVD. RAIN WILL LIKELY
BEGIN AS A PERIOD OF SNOW AND/OR SLEET ACROSS NW MA AND SW NH.
OVERALL CONFIDENCE IS MODERATE TO HIGH.

WED...MVFR IN RAIN AND FOG WITH ANY SNOW OR SLEET ACROSS NW MA AND
SW NH QUICKLY CHANGING TO ALL RAIN BY 15Z. LOW PROBABILITY OF IFR
CONDITIONS. ISOLATED TSTM POSSIBLE 12Z-18Z BUT CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW
TO INSERT INTO TAFS AT THE MOMENT. ALSO LOW PROBABILITY OF LLWS
ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS 16Z-20Z WITH LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY
JET UP TO 55 KT. RAIN SHOULD TAPER OFF 16Z-20Z FROM WEST TO EAST.
CONFIDENCE IS MODERATE.

WED NIGHT...IMPROVING CONDITIONS WITH WIND SHIFT TO THE NW. MVFR
LIKELY TO START THEN IMPROVING TO VFR.

KBOS TERMINAL...VFR TONIGHT WITH SE WINDS SHIFTING TO S. LOW
PROBABILITY OF MVFR CONDITIONS IN LIGHT TOWARD MORNING. WED...HIGH
PROB OF MVFR WITH LOW PROB OF IFR IN RAIN. ISOLATED TSTM POSSIBLE
12Z-18Z.  RAIN TAPERS OFF 17Z-21Z.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

THURSDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR CONDITIONS.

FRIDAY...MEDIUM TO HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR CONDITIONS. LOW
PRES SLOWLY APPROACHES OUT OF SOUTHERN QUEBEC...WITH A DEVELOPING
WARM FRONT WHICH MAY BRING CLOUDS INTO MOST OF THE REGION. MOST
CLOUD COVER EXPECTED FROM THE MASS PIKE NORTHWARD. SHOULD REMAIN
VFR. MAY SEE SCT SHOWERS ACROSS S NH/N CENTRAL AND W MA DURING THE
AFTERNOON WITH LOCAL MVFR.
