SIPPRELL

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
706 PM EST SAT DEC 22 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
DRY AND COOL CONDITIONS CONTINUE SUNDAY WITH THE EXIT OF LOW
PRESSURE. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND LATE
SUNDAY INTO MONDAY ALLOWING WINDS TO RELAX. A WEAK LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL LIKELY BRING A LIGHT SNOWFALL TO THE REGION LATE XMAS
EVE NIGHT INTO XMAS MORNING. A STRONGER BUT PROBABLY MILDER STORM
WILL LIKELY BRING RAIN/ICE AND/OR SNOW TO THE REGION WED INTO THU.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...

7 PM UPDATE...

STRONG NORTHWEST LOW LEVEL JET AND GOOD MIXING IN THE COLD AIR
ADVECTION PATTERN WILL RESULT IN WINDY WEATHER CONTINUING INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS.  WINDS SHOULD GENERALLY REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY
CRITERIA...BUT EXPECT TO SEE WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH.
SHOULD SEE THE WINDS FINALLY DIMINISH SOME TOWARD DAYBREAK.  COLD
AIR ADVECTION COMBINED WITH SOME LAKE MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN A FEW
LINGERING SNOW FLURRIES THIS EVENING...BUT NOTHING MORE THAN THAT IS
EXPECTED.

WHILE WINDS AND FILTERING CLOUDS SUBSEQUENT FROM FETCH OFF THE LAKES
WILL LIMIT EFFECTIVE NOCTURNAL COOLING...AM CONFIDENT LOWS WILL BE
IN THE UPPER TEENS TO MID 20S.  GUSTY WINDS WILL SEND WIND CHILL
VALUES WELL DOWN INTO THE TEENS...SO IT WILL FEEL QUITE COLD
COMPARED TO OUR RECENT WEATHER.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT...

WILL SEE THE CONTINUING INFLUENCE OF HIGH PRES BUILDING IN FROM THE
S/E. SFC WINDS VEER W/SWLY ALLOWING FOR THE INFLUENCE OF SLIGHTLY
WARMER AND DRIER AIR TO BUILD INTO THE RGN. EXPECTING PARTLY CLOUDY
CONDITIONS AS MID-HIGH CLOUDS FILTER ACROSS THE RGN WITHIN THE
BETTER BAROCLINIC FLOW. WITH BOUNDARY LYR MIXING UP TO H85 WHERE
TEMPS HOVER AROUND -8C...MAX TEMPS AROUND THE LOW 40S APPEARS WARRANTED.

AS FOR THE OVRNGT...WITH HIGH PRES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY...AN EVENING
OF EFFECTIVE NOCTURNAL COOLING IS QUITE POSSIBLE. BUT MID-HIGH CLOUD
MAY USHER LIMITATIONS. WILL KEEP WITH PERSISTENCE WITH MORNING LOWS
AROUND THE LOW 20S.

CHRISTMAS EVE /MONDAY/...

SFC HIGH PRES TRANSLATES E ACROSS S NEW ENGLAND AHEAD OF THE
ANTICIPATED CHRISTMAS DISTURBANCE. SOME SLIGHT WARMING PROCEEDS
WITHIN THE LOW-LVLS...BUT MIXING IS LIMITED TO H925 /TEMPS AVERAGING
AROUND -2C/ WITH INCREASING AND THICKENING MID-LVL CLOUDS SUBSEQUENT
OF ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE PROCESSES AHEAD OF THE DISTURBANCE. MAX TEMPS
AROUND THE UPR 30S APPEARS WARRANTED UNDER LIGHT WINDS BECOMING SELY
LATE.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...

HIGHLIGHTS...

* LIGHT SNOWFALL LIKELY XMAS EVE NIGHT/XMAS MORNING MOST AREAS
* STRONGER BUT MILDER STORM LIKELY WED/THU
* WED/THU STORM MAY BRING SIGNIFICANT RAIN/ICE AND/OR SNOW
* WED/THU WILL ALSO BRING POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF STRONG COASTAL
  WINDS/MINOR COASTAL FLOODING

DETAILS...

CHRISTMAS EVE NIGHT INTO CHRISTMAS DAY...

A SHORTWAVE WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE WEST. WARM AIR
ADVECTION AHEAD OF THIS DISTURBANCE SHOULD ALLOW LIGHT PRECIP TO
OVERSPREAD THE REGION FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST XMAS EVE NIGHT
INTO XMAS MORNING. THERMAL PROFILES INDICATE THAT MOST OF OUR REGION
SHOULD BE COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT MAINLY SNOW. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE
THE FAR SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND COAST...WHERE MUCH OF THE
PRECIPITATION WILL PROBABLY BE RAIN WITH AN ONSHORE FLOW AND CURRENT
DEPICTED TRACK.

AS FOR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS...OUR BEST ESTIMATE IS FOR 1 TO 3 INCHES
ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS AS THE SYSTEM DOES NOT LOOK THAT STRONG. ITS
EVEN POSSIBLE THAT THE SHORTWAVE COULD END UP FURTHER SOUTH OR
WEAKER LIKE THE ECMWF AND A FEW GFSENSEMBLES/SREF MEMBERS SHOW...
WHICH WOULD RESULT IN AN INCH OR LESS OF ACCUMULATION. AT THE SAME
TOKEN...THERE COULD BE HIGHER AMOUNTS IF THE SHORTWAVE TRENDS
STRONGER AND WE END UP WITH SOME BANDING LIKE THE 12Z GFS/GGEM
SHOW. MOST OF THE SNOW SHOULD OCCUR LATE XMAS EVE NIGHT INTO XMAS
MORNING.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...

AFTER A BRIEF BREAK IN THE ACTION...THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM WILL BE
APPROACHING THE REGION. APPEARS ITS MAIN AFFECTS WILL BE LATER
WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. GIVEN THAT THIS SYSTEM IS STILL 4+ DAYS
AWAY...PLENTY OF UNCERTAINTY REMAINS ON THE TRACK/INTENSITY AND
PRECIP TYPES.

HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THAT THIS SYSTEM WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER
AND ALSO BE A MILDER STORM BASED ON ITS CURRENT TRACK. SOME
SNOW/ICE STILL APPEARS TO BE IN THE CARDS ACROSS THE INTERIOR...
PARTICULARLY IN OUR NORTHWEST ZONES WHERE THE BEST CHANCE OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE WITH THIS STORM. ACROSS THE
COASTAL PLAIN...ODDS FAVOR MORE IN THE WAY OF RAIN AT THIS TIME. IN
FACT...THE RAIN MAY END UP BEING HEAVY FOR A TIME.

THE OTHER CONCERNS WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF STRONG WIND
GUSTS ALONG THE COAST AND THE POSSIBILITY OF MINOR COASTAL
FLOODING/BEACH EROSION ON THE EASTERN MA COAST.

ALL IN ALL...STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY IN REGARDS TO THE WED/THU
STORM SO STAY TUNED.

SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES. ANOTHER SYSTEM MAY APPROACH THE REGION
