AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
358 AM EST TUE JAN 25 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
SOMEWHAT MILDER AIR WILL WORK INTO THE REGION TODAY...BRINGING
SNOW SHOWERS. DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE FROM THE GULF STATES WILL
WORK UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD WEDNESDAY...PASSING SOUTH OF
NANTUCKET THURSDAY. THIS COASTAL STORM WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL
FOR STRONG WINDS...HEAVY SNOW AND OR MIXED PRECIPITATION TO THE
REGION FROM LATE WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. DRY AND
SEASONABLY COLD WEATHER RETURNS LATE THIS WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
RADAR INDICATED LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS BREAKING OUT ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA EARLY THIS MORNING...IN RESPONSE TO INCREASING WARM AIR
ADVECTION. THIS COURTESY OF DEVELOPING LOW TO MID LEVEL SW JET
MAXIMA AND DEVELOPING ISENTROPIC LIFT. MODEST/DECENT OMEGA AROUND
5 MICROBARS PER SECOND NOTED IN THE SNOW GROWTH REGION FOR A TIME
CENTERED AROUND 12-15Z THIS MORNING. WILL ALSO HAVE THE DIVERGENT
LEFT FRONT QUADRANT OF AN APPROACHING H25 JET STREAK AVAILABLE. SO
MAINTAINED LIKELY TO LOW END CAT POPS FOR SEVERAL HOURS THIS
MORNING. PRECIPITATION TAPERS OFF AS WARM AIR ADVECTION CEASES AND
THE DRYING PROCESS BEGINS TO OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON.

NOT EXPECTING MUCH MORE THAN AN INCH...MAYBE TWO INCHES OF SNOW
ACCUMULATION IN SPOTS...GIVEN AROUND 0.10 INCH OF LIQUID QPF. THIS
WILL BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE A FEW SLICK SPOTS DURING THIS MORNINGS
COMMUTE. PRECIPITATION MAY BRIEFLY MIX WITH OR CHANGE TO RAIN ALONG
THE SOUTH COAST BEFORE PRECIPITATION ENDS THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
TONIGHT...
WEAK SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND ANTICYCLONIC FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES TO PREVAIL. GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS
EXPECTED ACROSS THE INTERIOR WITH DEEP SNOWPACK...THUS SIDED WITH
THE COLDER MAV TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE.

WEDNESDAY...
INCREASING CLOUDS EXPECTED AHEAD OF DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE
OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES EXIST REGARDING
THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. NAM/ECMWF ARE 3-6
HOURS SLOWER THAN THE GFS. INHERENT DRY AIRMASS MAY CAUSE A DELAY
IN ARRIVAL OF PRECIPITATION ESPECIALLY NORTH OF THE MASS PIKE.
HAVE INCREASING CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION DURING THE AFTERNOON
HOURS BUT THE BULK OF THIS WILL LIKELY NOT ARRIVE UNTIL AFTER DARK.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SIGNAL STRONG COASTAL STORM TRACKING
S OF NEW ENGLAND IN THE LATE WEDNESDAY AROUND MIDDAY THURSDAY
TIMEFRAME. BEYOND THIS...MODELS SHOW A PROGRESSIVE LONG WAVE PATTERN
WITH BROAD LONG WAVE TROUGHING EXTENDING FROM A LARGE UPPER LOW
ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL CANADA INTO THE NORTHERN TIER STATES. NOTING
ONE OR TWO SHORT WAVES MOVING ALONG IN THE FLOW LATE IN THE PERIOD.

WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY...MODELS CONTINUE TO SIGNAL THE DEEPENING LOW
PRES WORKING UP FROM THE GULF COAST AND SE U.S. TO TRACK S OF NEW
ENGLAND...BUT A LOT OF OTHER ISSUES TO RESOLVE.

MODELS STILL HAVE SOME TRACK SPREAD...BUT ARE SETTLING IN ON THE LOW
PASSING CLOSE TO OR JUST INSIDE THE 40N/70W BENCHMARK BY MID MORNING
THURSDAY. HOWEVER...MODELS ALSO CONTINUE TO BRING QUITE A BIT OF
MILDER AIR RIDING AROUND THE LOW...ESPECIALLY AT THE H850-H700
LEVEL. THE BIG REASON FOR THIS IS THAT THERE IS NO COLD HIGH TO THE
NORTH OF THIS SYSTEM HELPING TO FUNNEL THE COLDER AIR IN. THIS IS
CRITICAL FOR TO HELP DETERMINE TRANSITIONS TO MIXED PRECIP...WHICH
APPEARS TO TRACK RATHER FAR INLAND...WITH A CHANGE TO RAIN EXPECT
ALONG THE S COAST.

ANOTHER PROBLEM WILL BE HOW QUICKLY THE COLD AIR WILL SCOUR OUT
INLAND...ESPECIALLY WITH THE DEEP SNOWPACK AND THE ARCTIC AIRMASS
THAT WILL EXIT TONIGHT AND A VERY COLD GROUND. THIS WILL ALSO IMPACT
MAINLY THE DEVELOPMENT OF FREEZING RAIN...POSSIBLY EVEN AS TEMPS GO
JUST ABOVE FREEZING WITH SUCH A COLD SURFACE.

ALSO NOTING A GOOD SLUG OF PRECIP WORKING UP THE COAST WITH THE
SURFACE LOW...SO COULD SEE SOME DECENT PRECIP WITH THIS SYSTEM. DOES
LOOK LIKE THE HEAVIER PRECIP WILL REMAIN OFFSHORE...BUT COULD SEE
SOME WORK INTO SOUTHERN AREAS...MAINLY WHERE THE TRANSITION TO RAIN
OCCURS.

SO...EXPECT PRECIP TO COMMENCE DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY...THOUGH MAY
BE DELAYED A BIT FURTHER INLAND AS THE AIRMASS TAKES TIME TO MOISTEN
UP WITH SUCH A COLD AND DRY AIRMASS THAT WAS IN PLACE. THE MAIN PART
OF THE ACTION IS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE LOW DEEPENS AND
PASSES S OF NEW ENGLAND. WILL ALSO SEE N-NE WINDS INCREASING DURING
THE NIGHT...WITH GUSTS UP TO 30-35 KT ALONG THE E COAST AND
ESPECIALLY ON CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS. LOW TO MEDIUM PROBABILITY OF
WIND ADVISORY FOR THESE LOCATIONS.

LEANED TOWARD A BLEND OF THE GFS/HPC GUIDANCE AND THE ECMWF...THOUGH
THIS MODEL HAS BEEN TRENDING A BIT SLOWER WITH THE LOW/S EXIT ON
THURSDAY. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS SITUATION VERY CLOSELY FOR
ISSUANCE OF WINTER STORM WATCHES FOR AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE
REGION.

THURSDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY NIGHT...WEAK HIGH PRES RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE
REGION IN THE STEADY UPPER LEVEL W-NW FLOW. WILL CONTINUE RATHER
CHILLY BUT NOT NEARLY AS COLD AS MONDAY NIGHT WITH LOWS FALLING TO
THE SINGLE NUMBERS AND TEENS AND HIGHS ON FRIDAY IN THE 20S TO
AROUND 30. CLOUDS WILL START TO INCREASE FRIDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF NEXT
SYSTEM.

SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...RATHER POTENT SHORT WAVE WORKS OUT OF
CENTRAL CANADA...WITH A CLIPPER TYPE SURFACE SYSTEM MOVING ALONG
RATHER QUICKLY. NOT A LOT OF MOISTURE TO WORK WITH IN THE DRY W-NW
FLOW ALOFT...SO ONLY CARRIED CHANCE POPS IN THE GRIDS AND ZONES.
WILL SEE A BIT OF WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF THIS WEAK LOW...SO
HIGHS ON SATURDAY COULD REACH THE 30S FOR MANY AREAS...BUT HOLD IN
THE MID-UPPER 20S ACROSS THE HIGHER INLAND TERRAIN. EXPECT THE LOW
TO PUSH THROUGH RATHER QUICKLY...SO SHOULD TAPER OFF SATURDAY NIGHT.

SUNDAY-MONDAY...CURRENT THINKING IS THAT HIGH PRES WILL BUILD OUT OF
CENTRAL CANADA...BRINGING DRY WEATHER BUT ANOTHER SHOT OF VERY COLD
ARCTIC AIR.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

WEDNESDAY NIGHT...MEDIUM TO HIGH CONFIDENCE CIGS AND VSBYS

WILL ALSO SEE A MIX WITH FZRA/PL/RA MAINLY ALONG THE E COAST DOWN

RAIN ALONG THE S COAST. ALSO EXPECT STRONG AND GUSTY N-NE WINDS
UPWARDS TO 30-35 KTS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE E COAST...CAPE COD AND

NW WIND GUSTS UP TO 25-35 KTS POSSIBLE...HIGHEST ON CAPE COD AND
NANTUCKET.

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR CONDITIONS.
CLOUDS MAY INCREASE FRIDAY NIGHT...BUT SHOULD REMAIN AT VFR.

SATURDAY...LOW TO MEDIUM CONFIDENCE. CONDITIONS MAY DETERIORATE TO
MVFR-IFR CIGS/VSBYS IN SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS.

.MARINE...
TODAY...MARGINAL SOUTHWWESTERLY 25 KT GUSTS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
SOUTHEASTERN COASTAL WATERS FOR A FEW HOURS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...WINDS AND SEAS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SCA CRITERIA.

WEDNESDAY...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED DURING
THE LATE AFTERNOON. E WINDS GUSTING UP TO 25 TO 30 KT ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN COASTAL WATERS. SEAS BUILDING UP TO 4 TO 6 FEET LATE ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN WATERS.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...

WEDNESDAY NIGHT...DEEPENING LOW PRES WILL WORK UP THE COAST DURING
THIS TIMEFRAME. EXPECT NE WINDS TO INCREASE TO SMALL CRAFT
CRITERIA DURING THE AFTERNOON. WILL LIKELY SEE GALE FORCE GUSTS
AFTER MIDNIGHT OVER THE OPEN WATERS. LOW PROBABILITY OF STORM
FORCE GUSTS TOWARD DAYBREAK. EXPECT SEAS TO BUILD UP TO 10-13 FEET
AFTER MIDNIGHT ON THE EASTERN WATERS.

THURSDAY...WINDS BACK TO N BUT CONTINUE AT STRONG GALE FORCE THROUGH
MOST OF THE MORNING. LOW PROBABILITY OF STORM FORCE GUSTS THROUGH
MID MORNING. WINDS WILL BACK TO NW AND DIMINISH TO SMALL CRAFT
CRITERIA DURING THE AFTERNOON...BUT COULD STILL SEE GALE GUSTS ON
THE EASTERN OUTER WATERS THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY. SEAS 10-15 FEET IN
THE MORNING ON THE EASTERN OUTER WATERS WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE DURING
THE AFTERNOON.

FRIDAY...W-NW WINDS WILL DIMINISH BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA.
HOWEVER...SEAS WILL REMAIN AT OR ABOVE 5 FEET THROUGH THE DAY...THEN
SHOULD SUBSIDE BY EVENING.

SATURDAY...EXPECT WINDS TO BACK TO SW AND INCREASE...POSSIBLY UP TO
SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA. WINDS SHIFT BACK TO W LATE AT NIGHT. SEAS MAY
REACH CLOSE TO 5 FEET.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT CONTINUES FOR A STRONG COASTAL STORM TRACKING
JUST OFFSHORE WED NIGHT INTO THU AM.

THE 5 AM THU ASTRO HIGH TIDE IS 10.4 FT AT BOSTON. GFS/ET STORM
SURGE GUID OFFERING A SURGE OF 1.8 FT DURING THIS HIGH TIDE CYCLE.
THE GFS IS A BIT FASTER/MORE PROGRESSIVE THAN THE REMAINING GUID SO
A LARGER SURGE IS POSSIBLE. THUS...WE ADDED ABOUT 1 FOOT TO THE
SURGE GUIDANCE...WHICH YIELDS A POSSIBLE STORM SURGE AROUND 2.5 FT.
THIS WOULD RESULT IN A STORM TIDE AROUND 13 FT AT BOSTON. IN
ADDITION...SEAS WILL LIKELY INCREASE TO 10-15 FT DURING HIGH TIDE
WITH A LOW RISK OF 20 FT SEAS. ALL OF THIS SUGGESTS A MODERATE TO
HIGH RISK FOR MINOR COASTAL FLOODING THU AM...WITH A LOW RISK OF
MORE SIGNIFICANT COASTAL FLOODING AND INUNDATION.
