AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
358 AM EST SUN JAN 29 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE AREA TODAY WHILE ANOTHER COLD
FRONT WITH A LITTLE MORE MOISTURE WILL PASS THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND SUNDAY NIGHT...BRINGING SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS TO THE
REGION. AFTER A COOL START TO THE WEEK...MORE MILD WEATHER RETURNS
FOR MID WEEK. LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THEN ANOTHER WEAK LOW PASSING SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND
LATE THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

HAD A FEW MID LEVEL CLOUDS STREAM ACROSS THE REGION THIS
MORNING...WHICH BROUGHT A FEW FLURRIES ACROSS WEST CENTRAL
MASSACHUSETTS AND SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE. THESE MID LEVELS CLOUDS
WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM EASTWARD AND DIMINISH BY MORNING. SURFACE
COLD FRONT HAS PUSH EASTWARDS OVER THE WATERS...USHERING VERY DRY
AIR.

WEAK SURFACE RIDGE WILL MOVE OVER THE REGION TODAY GIVING THE WINDS
A MORE SOUTHERLY COMPONENT. EXPECT TODAY TO BE A REPEAT PERFORMANCE
OF YESTERDAY...WITH THE WINDS BEING A LITTLE BIT MORE GUSTIER.
THEREFORE TEMPS MIGHT NOT GET AS WARM BUT SHOULD STAY IN THE MID TO
LOWER 40S THANKS TO -8C AT 850MB. SKIES SHOULD BE CLEARING OUT BY
MID MORNING HELPING TO MAXIMIZE MIXING AS MID TO UPPER LEVEL DRY AIR
PUSHES THROUGH. WINDS WILL GUST BETWEEN 20-25 KTS THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. EXPECT CLOUDS TO BEING TO MOVE IN FROM WEST TO EAST BY
THE LATE AFTERNOON AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE APPROACHES THE REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...

TONIGHT...
UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA ...BRINGING A COLD
FRONT OVERNIGHT. THIS SYSTEM HAS A LITTLE BIT MORE LIFT AND MOISTURE
THAN LAST NIGHTS COLD FRONT...SO BELIEVE THAT SCATTERED POP WILL
OCCUR. THE AREAS WITH THE BEST CHANCE IN SEEING PRECIP WILL BE
ACROSS MOST OF MASSACHUSETTS EXCEPT THE CAPE AND ISLANDS AND SOUTHERN NEW
HAMPSHIRE AS THE BETTER DYNAMICS ARE IN PLAY FOR THOSE REGIONS. WITH
THERMAL PROFILES BEING BELOW FREEZING EXPECT SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS
ACROSS THE AREA...WHILE THE COASTAL REGIONS WILL SEE EITHER A MIX OF
SNOW OR RAIN. ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE VERY LITTLE...A TRACE TO LESS
THAN HALF OF AN INCH AS THERE IS VERY LITTLE QPF WITH THIS SYSTEM.
EXPECT MID LEVEL CLOUDS WILL STREAM ACROSS THE SKY WITH THIS FRONT
AS WINDS SWITCH FROM THE SOUTH TO THE WEST AND WILL CONTINUE TO
GUST...UP TO 25KTS ACROSS THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. STRONG CAA WILL
COMMENCE BEHIND THE FRONT...THEREFORE EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO DROP TO
MID TO LOWER 20S ACROSS THE INTERIOR. COASTAL REGIONS WILL SEE TEMPS
DROP TO THE LOW 30S.

MONDAY...
SURFACE RIDGING WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION ON MONDAY HELPING TO
DECREASE THE WINDS BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS. BECAUSE OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE
BRINGING IN STRONG CAA...TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY REACH THE MID TO LOW
30S ACROSS THE INTERIOR WHILE THE COASTAL REGIONS WILL SEE NEAR 40S.
IN FACT THIS WILL BE OUR COOLEST DAY IN OVER A WEEK. EXPECT DRY
CONDITIONS ON MONDAY WITH SOME HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS STREAMING
ACROSS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA.

THANKS TO OKX/GYX FOR THE COLLABORATION THIS MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
OVERVIEW...
MEDIUM RANGE MODEL SUITE CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE WITH THEIR SOLUTIONS
DUE TO FAST NEARLY ZONAL UPPER LEVEL FLOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER
STATES ESPECIALLY AFTER TUESDAY. APPEARS MODELS HAVING A LOT OF
TROUBLE HANDLING SEVERAL WEAK SHORT WAVES IN THE FAST FLOW. ALSO
NOTED LOW RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY ON EACH OF THE MODELS. THE ONLY ONE
THAT APPEARED TO SHOW ANY TYPE OF CONSISTENCY AND CONTINUITY WAS THE
GFS...BUT EVEN THIS WAS HAVING TROUBLE BEYOND EARLY NEXT WEEK. EVEN
THE MODEL ENSEMBLES SHOWING QUITE A BIT OF SPREAD AMONGST THEIR
MEMBERS...WHICH LENDS TO VERY LOW CONFIDENCE FOR THIS FORECAST
PACKAGE BEYOND TUESDAY.

USED A BLEND OF THE 00Z ECMWF ALONG WITH THE EC AND GFS ENSEMBLES...
BUT WITH GUARDED ACCEPTANCE AS NOT SURE HOW FUTURE RUNS WILL HANDLE
WEAK SYSTEMS. THIS WAS SIMILAR TO THE HPC GUIDANCE.

MONDAY...WEAK HIGH PRES RIDGE WILL APPROACH FROM THE W IN THE FAST
UPPER FLOW AND WILL QUICKLY WORK ACROSS MON NIGHT. A FEW LEFTOVER
WIDELY SCT SNOW SHOWERS MAY LINGER ACROSS CAPE COD EARLY MON
MORNING. WITH GOOD MIXING IN PLACE ON W-NW WINDS DURING MONDAY...
EXPECT GUSTS UP TO AROUND 25 KT. SOME CLOUDS MAY LINGER ALONG THE E
COAST EARLY...OTHERWISE SHOULD SEE A MIX OF SUN AND HIGH CLOUDS.
EXPECT DAYTIME HIGHS RIGHT ABOUT SEASONAL LEVELS...MAINLY IN THE
30S. HOWEVER...CLOUDS WILL MOVE IN MON NIGHT AHEAD OF APPROACHING
WARM FRONT. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL OCCUR EARLY...BY AROUND MIDNIGHT...
THEN WILL START TO SLOW RISE DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS.

TUESDAY...SOME ISENTROPIC LIFT WITH THE WARM FRONT MAY BRING A FEW
WIDELY SCT RAIN AND/OR SNOW SHOWERS. THE FRONT LIFTS N OF THE
REGION...SO ANY RAIN AND/OR SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD LIFT OUT...BUT MORE
WILL PUSH E WITH APPROACHING COLD FRONT TUE NIGHT. HIGHS WILL REACH
THE MID 30S TO MID 40S.

FOR TUE NIGHT...TEMPS WILL LIKELY BE COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SOME
FREEZING RAIN ACROSS N CENTRAL-WESTERN MA IN TO S NH LATE AT NIGHT
AS LOW PRES MAKES ITS CLOSEST PASS N OF THE REGION. WILL NEED TO
MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE WINTER WX ADVISORIES BUT LOW CONFIDENCE AT THIS
TIME.

WEDNESDAY...MODELS HAVE WIDE RANGE OF SOLUTIONS...BUT MOST DID LEAN
TOWARD LOW PRES PASSING ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND...DRAGGING A
COLD FRONT THROUGH WED NIGHT. MAY SEE SOME FREEZING RAIN WELL INLAND
EARLY...THEN MILDER AIR SHOULD WORK N. BEST SHOT...ONLY LOW CHANCE
AT THIS POINT...FOR PRECIP THIS WEEK WITH DRY AND FAST UPPER FLOW.
SHOULD SEE IMPROVING CONDITIONS LATE IN THE DAY. FOR NOW...HAVE
FORECASTED HIGHS IN THE 40S WITH SOME 50 DEGREE READINGS POSSIBLE.

THURSDAY-FRIDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE AT THIS POINT. FOR NOW...LEANED
TOWARD SLIGHT CHANCE POPS EARLY THURSDAY AS FRONT STALLS S OF NEW
ENGLAND THU. MAY SEE LEFTOVER RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS EARLY THU...THEN
WILL DRY OUT BRIEFLY. HOWEVER...MAY SEE LOW PRES MOVE ALONG STALLED
FRONT...PASSING S OF NEW ENGLAND THU NIGHT-FRI. MAY SEE ANOTHER
PERIOD OF RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS DURING THIS TIME.

SATURDAY...FOR NOW...HAVE CARRIED DRY FORECAST AS A DRY COLD FRONT
WORKS THROUGH WITH NEAR SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MODERATE...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

BEFORE 12Z...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. EXPECT MAINLY VFR
CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL ACROSS ALL SITES. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO
SWITCH TO THE WEST AS A COLD FRONT PASSAGES THROUGH. BRIEF MVFR
MAY HIT OR MISS A FEW SITES AS WELL AS SOME FLURRIES LOW
CONFIDENCE ON TIMING AND LOCATION.

TODAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL AS CLOUDS
MOVE OFF TO THE EAST. WEST WINDS WILL SWITCH TO A MORE SOUTHERLY
COMPONENT WITH GUSTS UP TO 20-25 KT.

TONIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS. CLOUD COVER
WILL INCREASE AND SHLD BECOME MAINLY BROKEN TO OVERCAST NEAR 5KFT.
CAN NOT RULE OUT BRIEF MVFR CIGS AND LOWERED VSBYS IN PASSING SNOW
SHOWERS...WHICH WILL BE SCATTERED. LOW CONFIDENCE ON TIMING.

KBOS TERMINAL...
MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. EXPECT MAINLY VFR CIGS TO DOMINATE
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. HOWEVER A FEW BRIEF
MVFR CIGS MAY STREAM THROUGH WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A
FLURRY...LOW CONFIDENCE. WINDS WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE WEST AND
INCREASE UP TO 20-25KTS. BY MORNING HOURS VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD
PREVAIL AND WINDS SHOULD SUBSIDE. THROUGH THE DAY WINDS WILL SWITCH
TO A MORE SOUTHERLY COMPONENT AND REMAIN AROUND 15KTS. CLOUDS WILL
INCREASE TONIGHT AND SHOULD REMAIN VFR.

MONDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. ANY MVFR CONDITIONS WILL
SCATTERED OUT AND ALL TERMINAL SHOULD IMPROVE TO VFR AS HIGH PRES
RIDGE BUILD ACROSS.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

TUESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. EXPECT MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS...BUT
LOW PROB OF LOCAL MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN ANY WIDELY SCT RAIN/SNOW
SHOWERS LATE TUE AFTERNOON/TUE NIGHT. LOW CONFIDENCE IN TIMING.

WEDNESDAY...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE. MAY SEE PERIOD OF SHOWERS OR
EVEN SOME FZRA ACROSS N CENTRAL-NW MA/S NH WED MORNING...THEN
CHANGING OVER TO RAIN SHOWERS. PRECIP SHOULD TAPER OFF LATE WED/WED
NIGHT.
