AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
331 PM EST SUN JAN 15 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER NEW ENGLAND WILL BRING CLEAR AND COLD
WEATHER TONIGHT. THE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE MONDAY. A WARM FRONT THEN
MOVES ACROSS THE NORTHEAST USA BRINGING CLOUDS MONDAY NIGHT AS
WELL AS RAIN ALONG THE COAST AND A MIX OF SNOW SLEET AND RAIN IN
THE INTERIOR LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. A STRONG COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE THROUGH EARLY WED BRINGING ANOTHER ARCTIC AIRMASS TO THE
AREA...THEN A WARM UP IS EXPECTED LATE IN THE WEEK INTO NEXT
WEEKEND. LOW PRES MAY BRING SOME MIXED PRECIP FRI NIGHT CHANGING
TO RAIN SAT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER NEW ENGLAND. PRESSURE RISES WILL
DIMINISH...WHICH WILL LESSEN THE PRESSURE GRADIENT. EXPECT CLEAR
SKIES...WITH WINDS DIMINISHING TO LIGHT IN THE INTERIOR OVERNIGHT.
THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A PERIOD OF RADIATIONAL COOLING. WITH MOST
DEWPOINTS LOCALLY AND UPSTREAM BELOW ZERO...EXPECT MIN TEMPS
INLAND TO BE NEAR OR BELOW ZERO. THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST
AREA SHOULD BE IN THE SINGLE NUMBERS.

THE DIMINISHING WIND WILL ALSO HELP TURN OFF THE OCEAN EFFECT SNOW
ENGINE AS WINDS FALL BELOW 12 KNOTS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
MONDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS OFFSHORE DURING THE MORNING. WITH THE
DEPARTURE OF THE HIGH THE SURFACE PRESSURES WILL START
FALLING...REACHING A RATE OF 1 MB/HOUR DURING THE AFTERNOON. THAT
MEANS THE SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE...DRAWING MILDER AIR NORTH
OVER THE REGION ON SOUTHWEST WINDS. THE RESULTING MOISTURE AND
LIFT WILL CREATE INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS THROUGH THE DAY. EXPECT A
DRY DAY WITH SUN THROUGH THE HIGH CLOUDS. MIXING DEPTHS ARE
EXPECTED TO REACH NEAR 900 MB...WITH TEMPS OF -7C TO -9C MIXING
DOWN TO THE SURFACE. THAT WOULD SUPPORT MAX TEMPS IN THE 30S...BUT
THE COLD START AND SHORT DAY MAY WORK AGAINST THAT ESPECIALLY IN
NORTHERN/WESTERN SECTIONS. WE WILL GO WITH UPPER 20S TO MID 30S.

MONDAY NIGHT...
THE INCREASING SOUTHWEST WIND WILL BRING MILDER AIR AND INCREASED
ISENTROPIC LIFT. THE BEST COMBINATION OF LIFT AND MOISTURE COMES
BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z...PERHAPS A LITTLE SOONER IN CT. WE WILL TREND
INCREASING HOURLY POPS STARTING AT 10 PM WITH CHANCE POPS AFTER
MIDNIGHT AND LIKELY POPS TOWARD MORNING.

SECOND QUESTION IS P-TYPE. FORECAST TEMPS ALOFT SHOW BELOW
FREEZING VALUES ALL LEVELS AT 00Z...BUT WARMING INLAND BETWEEN
850 MB AND 925 MB AND AT ALL LEVELS IN THE SOUTHEAST. THIS WOULD
MEAN AN INITIAL SNOW PERIOD IN THE NORTHWEST AND ALL RAIN ON THE
CAPE AND ISLANDS...BY THE END OF MONDAY NIGHT TRANSITIONING TO
RAIN IN THE COASTAL PLAIN AND A SNOW/SLEET MIX IN THE NORTHWEST.

THIS SCENARIO WOULD BRING UP TO AN INCH OF SNOW/SLEET TO THE
NORTHWEST BEFORE ANY MIXING LATE AT NIGHT.

WITH THE WARM ADVECTION...TEMPS MAY FALL A LITTLE MONDAY
EVENING BUT THEN SHOULD RISE OVERNIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* LIGHT WINTRY PRECIP CHANGING TO RAIN TUE
* TURNING MUCH COLDER LATE WED AND WED NIGHT
* MODERATING TEMPS LATE IN THE WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND WITH CHANCE
  OF MIXED PRECIP FRI NIGHT CHANGING TO RAIN SATURDAY

OVERVIEW...
MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO ADVERTISE A PROGRESSIVE PATTERN DURING
THE EXTENDED PERIOD WITH LACK OF HIGH LATITUDE BLOCKING. THIS WILL
RESULT IN A CHANGEABLE WEATHER PATTERN DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD
WITH A SERIES OF WX SYSTEMS MOVING THROUGH AND SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES IN TEMPS.

TUE... WARM FRONT WILL BE MOVING INTO SNE WITH AREA OF DEEPENING
MOISTURE AND ISENTROPIC LIFT BRINGING SOME LIGHT WINTRY
PRECIP....MAINLY IN THE INTERIOR. THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES IN
THERMAL PROFILE WITH NAM A BIT WARMER THAN GFS/ECWMF WHICH WOULD
RESULT IN A QUICKER CHANGE TO FZRA IN THE INTERIOR MON NIGHT...BUT
EVEN COLDER GFS/ECMWF INDICATES EVENTUAL CHANGE TO A PERIOD OF
FZRA TUE MORNING BEFORE GOING TO ALL RAIN TUE AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER...GFS HINTS THAT WARM FRONT MAY GET HUNG UP ACROSS N ZONES
WITH TEMPS POSSIBLE REMAINING NEAR FREEZING FAR N. QPF AMOUNTS
WILL BE LIGHT AND ONLY EXPECT MINOR SNOW ACCUM WITH SOME LIGHT
ICING POSSIBLE. WINTER WX ADVISORIES MAY EVENTUALLY BE NEEDED.

NEAR THE S COAST...INCREASING SW FLOW WILL RAPIDLY WARM BOUNDARY
LAYER MON EVENING WITH ANY LIGHT SNOW QUICKLY CHANGING TO RAIN. IT
WILL ALSO BE WINDY NEAR THE COAST MON NIGHT AS SW LLJ MOVES OVER
THE AREA. TEMPS TUESDAY WILL REACH WELL INTO THE 40S NEAR THE
COAST.

TUE NIGHT THROUGH AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...
PREFRONTAL SHOWERS POSSIBLE TUE EVENING...WITH POCKETS OF FZRA FAR
N THEN STRONG COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS SNE LATE TUE NIGHT.
WEDNESDAY WILL BE A DRY DAY BUT WINDY AND TURNING COLDER WITH
FALLING TEMPS AS STRONG CAA DEVELOPS. VERY COLD WED NIGHT AS HIGH
PRES BUILDS INTO THE REGION. MIN TEMPS RANGING FROM NEAR ZERO NW
ZONES AND LOWER TEENS NEAR THE COAST.

THURSDAY AND THU NIGHT...
MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL APPROACH FROM THE W AS WEAK CLIPPER
SYSTEM LIKELY TRACKS TO THE N. THIS SYSTEM MAY BRING A FEW SNOW
SHOWERS TO SNE SOMETIME LATE THU OR THU NIGHT...BUT TIMING OF
THIS SHORTWAVE IS UNCERTAIN. WE HAVE CHC POPS MAINLY THU NIGHT AS
THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. MODERATING TEMPS THU AS SW FLOW
DEVELOPS.

FRIDAY INTO SAT...
LOOKS DRY FRIDAY AS HIGH PRES BRIEFLY BUILDS INTO NEW ENG...BUT
THE HIGH QUICKLY RETREATS AS NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES FRI NIGHT
INTO SAT. ECMWF IS MORE AMPLIFEID THAN GFS WITH A STRONGER SYSTEM
MOVING THROUGH ON SATURDAY BUT IT WILL BE WARMING AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM. WE HAVE CHC POPS FRI NIGHT INTO SAT WITH SNOW CHANGING TO
RAIN.
