AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1055 PM EST FRI DEC 28 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
DRY AND SEASONABLY COLD WEATHER PREVAILS OVERNIGHT. LOW PRESSURE
WILL DEVELOP OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST SAT AND THEN TRACK SOUTH
OF NEW ENGLAND SAT NIGHT...BRINGING A PERIOD OF ACCUMULATING SNOW
TO THE REGION. AS THE STORM EXITS SUNDAY...DRY BUT BLUSTERY AND
COLD WEATHER FOLLOWS. THE WEATHER PATTERN FOR NEXT WEEK WILL
LIKELY FEATURE TEMPERATURES AT OR BELOW NORMAL AND MAINLY DRY
WEATHER.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
1040 PM UPDATE...
BATCH OF LOW CLOUDS MOVED ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN AREAS EARLY
THIS EVENING...MAINLY ACROSS NY STATE OFF LAKE ONTARIO. THEY HAVE
MOVED ON...SO NOTING PATCHY MID AND HIGH CLOUDS ON IR SATELLITE
LOOP AND OBS AT 03Z.

BIG PROBLEM FOR THIS UPDATE WAS THE TEMPS. NOTED TEMPS WERE
RUNNING SEVERAL DEGREES WARMER THAN FORECAST. NEW 00Z NAM H85 AND
H925 TEMPS SHOWING A SLOWLY RISING TREND OVERNIGHT. ALSO...WITH
MORE MID AND HIGH CLOUDS THAT WILL START TO MOVE IN OVERNIGHT WELL
AHEAD OF DEVELOPING LOW PRES...HAVE ADJUSTED TEMPS FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT TO BRING OVERNIGHT READINGS UP AROUND 5
DEGREES FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST. SO...EXPECT TEMPS TO RUN CLOSER TO
SEASONAL NORMS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
SATURDAY...ANOTHER AREA OF WINTRY PRECIP WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
REGION AS FAST MOVING BUT POTENT LOW PRES MOVES OFF THE MID ATLC
COAST...CENTER STILL LOOKS TO TRACK S/E OF NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY
NIGHT BUT MODELS ALSO IN AGREEMENT THAT IT IS NOT BY MUCH...AND
THAT STORM IS IN THE PROCESS OF BOMBING AS IT TRACKS NE. AS SUCH
FORECAST SNOWFALL TOTALS HAVE BEEN INCREASED...WITH 2-5 INCHES OF
SNOW EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA...BUT 6 TO 8 INCHES
OR POSSIBLY SOMEWHAT HIGHER ACROSS SOUTHEAST MA AND RI EXCEPT FOR
THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. IT IS IN THIS AREA WHERE THE HIGHER TOTALS
ARE POSSIBLE THAT A WINTER STORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. TO THE NORTH AND WEST IN THE
CWA...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOUTHWEST NH...A WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THIS STORM.

MODEL CONSENSUS ON SWIFTNESS OF LOW PRESSURE TRACK...GENERALLY GOING
FROM THE VIRGINIA/CAROLINA COASTLINE TO NOVA SCOTIA IN 24
HOURS...SHOULD HELP TO LIMIT FINAL SNOWFALL TOTALS.  BUT AGAIN...AT
THIS TIME CAN NOT RULE OUT ISOLATED HIGHER TOTALS.

THE MID AND LOWER CAPE WILL PROBABLY BE PRIMARILY RAIN...BUT THE
UPPER CAPE /NEAR THE CANAL/ MAY END UP WITH SEVERAL INCHES...HENCE A
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY HAS BEEN HOISTED FOR THAT AREA.

EXPECT BULK OF PRECIPITATION TO AFFECT THE AREA BETWEEN 21Z AND
06Z...BUT PRECIPITATION ONSET IS ANTICIPATED DURING SATURDAY MORNING
AND END TIME FROM WEST TO EAST BETWEEN 06Z AND EARLY SUN MORNING.

TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN AT OR BELOW FREEZING THROUGH THE
PERIOD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOUTHEAST MA AND SOUTHERN RI WHERE
DAYTIME TEMPS WILL MAX OUT IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S...POSSIBLY AROUND
40 ON THE MID TO OUTER CAPE.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
OVERALL THE 28/12Z GUIDANCE IS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH
THEIR SYNOPTIC SOLUTIONS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THEN THE GUIDANCE
STARTS TO DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY WITH THEIR HANDLING OF A SERIES OF
POTENT MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVES MOVING INTO THE WESTERN USA. THIS WILL
HAVE IMPLICATIONS FOR OUR FORECAST LATER NEXT WEEK. CONFIDENCE IN
THE FORECAST DETAILS AFTER WEDNESDAY IS LOW.

SUNDAY...
WINDY AND COLD BEHIND THE DEPARTING GALE CENTER. MAY BE SOME
OCEAN-EFFECT SHOWERS ACROSS THE MID AND OUTER CAPE UNTIL WINDS
SHIFT NORTHWEST ENOUGH TO LIMIT THE FETCH OVER MASSACHUSETTS AND
CAPE COD BAYS. HIGHS ONLY IN THE MID 20S TO LOWER 30S. GUSTY
NORTHWEST WINDS WILL GENERATE WIND CHILLS IN THE TEENS AND LOWER
20S.

NEW YEARS EVE AND DAY...
A POLAR FRONT APPROACHES NEW ENGLAND. NOT TERRIBLY CHILLY AHEAD
OF THIS FRONT WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING INTO THE 20S NEW YEARS EVE
WITH A MODEST WEST WIND. OVERALL...SEASONABLY COLD BUT TOLERABLE.
COULD BE SUFFICIENT MOISTURE ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS FRONT TO
YIELD SOME SNOW SHOWERS OR FLURRIES MON NIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY
BEFORE THIS POLAR FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE AREA BY LATE TUESDAY.

WEDNESDAY...
DRY WITH TEMPERATURES AT OR SLIGHTLY COLDER THAN NORMAL.

THURSDAY...
SOME POTENTIAL FOR A CLIPPER-LIKE SYSTEM TO IMPACT SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. SEEMS TO BE MOISTURE-STARVED AT THIS POINT. WILL HAVE TO
SEE HOW THE DETAILS SHAPE UP OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

FRIDAY...
CURRENTLY EXPECT DRY AND COLD CONDITIONS.

&&

.AVIATION /04Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SHORT TERM OVERVIEW...HIGH CONFIDENCE TONIGHT. MODERATE
CONFIDENCE ON SATURDAY DUE MAINLY TO QUESTIONS ON TIMING.

TONIGHT...CIGS AROUND 1200 FEET OVER THE BERKSHIRES MAY LINGER
NEAR WESTFIELD AND WINDSOR LOCKS EARLY...BUT THE TREND SHOULD BE
TOWARD DIMINISHING LOW CLOUDS DURING THE NIGHT. ELSEWHERE EXPECT
VFR WITH JUST SOME HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS.  LIGHT WIND.

SATURDAY...LOWERING CEILINGS THROUGH THE DAY WITH VSBY REDUCTIONS
MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON/EVENING. PRECIPITATION TYPE SHOULD BE
SNOW...EXCEPT FOR SOME RAIN POSSIBLE ALONG THE SOUTH COAST AND
CAPE/ISLANDS.

SATURDAY NIGHT...CIGS/VSBYS LOWER TO IFR AND LIFR AS SNOW
INTENSIFIES. NORTHEAST WINDS INCREASE...TURNING NORTH AND
NORTHWEST OVERNIGHT. SPEEDS WILL INCREASE MOST OVER CAPE COD AND
ISLANDS.

KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF. VFR THROUGH MIDDAY
SATURDAY...DETERIORATING TO IFR CIGS/VSBYS 21Z-24Z.

KBDL TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF. VFR THROUGH MIDDAY
SATURDAY...DETERIORATING TO IFR CIGS/VSBYS OR LOWER AFTER 00Z.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE MODERATE FOR THIS PERIOD

SUNDAY...ANY LEFTOVER IFR/MVFR EARLY WILL TREND TO VFR. GUSTY NNW
WINDS.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...VFR WITH PERIODS OF MVFR IN ISOLD/SCT
SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE. GUSTY NNW WINDS POSSIBLE TUE.

&&

.MARINE...
OVERNIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

NOTING THAT SEAS REMAINING AROUND 5 FT FROM SE OF BLOCK ISLAND TO
BUOY 44029...BUT SHOULD SUBSIDE BY MIDNIGHT SO KEPT EXPIRE TIME
THERE FOR NOW. WILL MONITOR THIS CLOSELY...THOUGH...IN CASE IT
NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED. NW WINDS ARE ALSO STARTING TO DIMINISH PER
LATEST BUOYS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE CROSSES THE WATERS OVERNIGHT BUT IS
QUICKLY FOLLOWED BY A COASTAL LOW THAT WILL LIKELY TURN INTO A
GALE CENTER AS IT TRACKS NEAR THE 40 N 70 W BENCHMARK THEN PULLS
WELL OFFSHORE. WE WILL RECEIVE A GLANCING BLOW FROM THIS SYSTEM AS
THE WINDS AROUND IT INTENSIFY...AND AS SUCH HOISTING GALE WATCHES
FOR OUTER COASTAL WATERS AS WELL AS NANTUCKET SOUND STARTING
SATURDAY NIGHT. LATEST TRENDS AT THIS TIME INDICATE INTERIOR
COASTAL WATERS SHOULD MAINLY BE LIMITED TO SCA CRITERIA FOR
SAT/SAT NIGHT. SNOW AND RAIN WILL REDUCE VSBY.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

MODERATE CONFIDENCE ALL PERIODS.

SUNDAY...GALE CENTER TRACKS INTO THE MARITIMES WITH NNW GALES
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NEW ENGLAND WATERS. VSBY IMPROVES WITH PRECIP
MOVING OFFSHORE.

MONDAY/TUESDAY...DIMINISHING WIND MON AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES OVER NEW ENGLAND. LOW PROBABILITY FOR GALE FORCE GUSTS
ACROSS THE OUTER COASTAL WATERS INTO MONDAY MORNING. COULD ALSO
SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF GALE FORCE GUSTS WITH THE PASSAGE OF A
POLAR FRONT TUESDAY.

WEDNESDAY...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS POSSIBLE AS WINDS
CONTINUE TO SLOWLY DIMINISH.
