AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
300 PM EST FRI FEB 4 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
ANOTHER STORM WITH SNOW AND MIXED PRECIPITATION WILL AFFECT THE
REGION SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY DRY WEATHER FOR
SUNDAY. LIGHT WINTRY PRECIPITATION REMAINS POSSIBLE LATE MONDAY
INTO EARLY TUE AS LOW PRESSURE LIKELY TRACKS OVER NEW ENGLAND. A
MORE SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM MAY THREATEN THE REGION LATE NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
EXPECT SKIES TO REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR TO CLEAR UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT
WHEN CLOUDS START TO BUILD AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COASTAL LOW.
INCREASING MOISTURE AND WARM AIR ADVECTION WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL
RESULT IN HIGHER DEWPOINTS AND THUS SOMEWHAT WARMER OVERNIGHT
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE REGION. EXPECT LOW TEMPERATURES GENERALLY
IN THE TEENS EXCEPT SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS THE NORTHWEST ZONES AND
MID TO UPPER 20S ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
PRIMARY FOCUS FOR SATURDAY ON LOW PRESSURE MOVING UP THE COAST.
CONSENSUS AMONGST THE 12Z MODELS IS A TRACK OVER THE CAPE AND
ISLANDS. THIS IS A WARM ENOUGH SYSTEM THAT WE ARE EXPECTING MOST
OF THE PRECIPITATION TO BE IN THE FORM OF RAIN FOR MUCH OF THE
AREA. EXPECTING LIGHT PRECIP TO START MID-MORNING...AS LIGHT SNOW
FOR AREAS NORTH AND WEST OF 495 AND LIGHT RAIN ELSEWHERE.

SNOW WILL QUICKLY SWITCHOVER TO RAIN ACROSS RI AND CT AS WELL AS
PORTIONS OF MA SOUTH OF ROUTE 2. THERE MAY BE SOME PERIODS OF
SLEET JUST SOUTH OF ROUTE 2 DURING THE EVENING HOURS BEFORE SNOW
SWITCHES OVER TO RAIN. TOWARDS THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF
SUNDAY...COULD SEE A SWITCH BACK TO LIGHT SNOW FOR A COUPLE OF
HOURS ACROSS THE REGION. SOUTH OF ROUTE 2...EXPECTING
ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES. NORTH OF ROUTE 2 /WHERE ALL SNOW
IS EXPECTED/...ACCUMULATIONS WILL RANGE FROM 4 TO 7 INCHES.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD WARM WELL INTO THE 30S DURING THE DAY SATURDAY
AND REMAIN IN THE 30S THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW
FOR SOME SNOW MELT. THOUGH WE ARE EXPECTING ONLY HALF AN INCH TO
THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH OF RAIN. THE COMBINATION OF SNOW MELT...
RAIN...AND SNOW/ICE CLOGGED DRAINS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN POOR
DRAINAGE AND STREET FLOODING OVERNIGHT.

WILL ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE FOR
AREAS OF MASSACHUSETTS NORTH OF ROUTE 2 AS WELL AS SOUTHWESTERN
NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

*** ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN THIS PERIOD WITH SEVERAL BOUTS OF
 WINTER WEATHER LATE MON INTO TUE WITH A MORE SIGNIFICANT STORM
 POSSIBLE LATE NEXT WEEK ***

SUNDAY...
BIG IMPROVEMENT EXPECTED WITH DRY CONDITIONS BEHIND DEPARTING
TROF. PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS ALONG WITH A WELL MIXED
BOUNDARY LAYER WITH WESTERLY FLOW AND 850 TEMPS ONLY +3C SHOULD
YIELD HIGHS IN THE 30S.

MON/TUE...
NEXT TROF APPROACHES WITH CHANCE OF LIGHT WINTRY PRECIP LATE MON
INTO EARLY TUE. QPF APPEARS LIGHT THUS NOT A MAJOR EVENT.

WED...
DRY AND COLDER WITH HIGHS PERHAPS ONLY IN THE 20S AND LOWS IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS. THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR OUR NEXT
POTENTIAL WINTER STORM.

THU...
SURPRISING AT THIS TIME RANGE ALL MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGEST A RAPIDLY
INTENSIFYING COASTAL STORM CROSSING NEW ENGLAND. STORM TRACK APPEARS
TO BE DIRECTLY OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SUGGESTING A SNOW TO RAIN
EVENT. BUT AT DAY 7 WE WON/T ELABORATE ANY FURTHER.
