AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
342 AM EST MON DEC 31 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A SERIES OF DRY POLAR FRONTS WILL MOVE ACROSS NEW ENGLAND TO BEGIN
THE NEW YEAR...RESULTING IN TEMPERATURES COLDER THAN NORMAL.  THIS
WEATHER PATTERN WILL FEATURE MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH THIS WEEK
AND INTO NEXT WEEKEND.  THERE ARE SOME SIGNS THE THE COLD WEATHER
MAY EASE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
135 AM UPDATE...
CLEAR SKIES CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION AS HIGH PRES RIDGE BUILDS
E OUT OF CENTRAL NY STATE AT 06Z. NW WINDS ARE DIMINISHING ACROSS
THE CT VALLEY...WITH LIGHT/VRBL OR CALM WINDS. DEWPTS HAVE FALLEN
TO THE SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS INLAND AREAS AS WELL.

NEAR TERM GRIDS WERE IN GOOD SHAPE...BUT UPDATED TO BRING
CONDITIONS CURRENT. MAY NEED SOME TEMP ADJUSTING AS WINDS DROP
OFF. WITH CLEAR AND CALM CONDITIONS...WILL SEE STRONG RADIATIONAL
COOLING FOR SOME LOCALES WHICH MAY DROP TO THE SINGLE DIGITS
OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
MONDAY...

UPPER TROUGH EXITING THE REGION WILL ALLOW FOR RISING HEIGHT FIELDS
AND MODERATING MID LEVEL TEMPS.  HOWEVER...GIVEN THE COLD START/SNOW
COVER AND LOW DECEMBER SUN ANGLE...EXPECT HIGHS TO ONLY RECOVER INTO
THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 30S UNDER PARTY SUNNY SKIES.  IT WILL FEEL MORE
PLEASANT THAN TODAY AS WINDS SPEEDS WILL NOT BE NEARLY AS STRONG.

MONDAY NIGHT...

EXPECT QUIET WEATHER TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION.  A FAIR AMOUNT
OF MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS WILL OVER SPREAD THE REGION IN ADVANCE OF A
STRONG COLD FRONT.  THERE IS VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF
FORCING/DYNAMICS FOR PRECIPITATION...BUT A BRIEF PASSING RAIN/SNOW
SHOWER OR TWO CAN/T BE RULED OUT ACROSS THE CAPE/ISLANDS WHERE
MOISTURE IS A BIT DEEPER.  JUST INCLUDED A FEW HOURS OF SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS TO COVER THIS POTENTIAL.

AS FOR LOW TEMPERATURES...WESTERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING
COLD FRONT AND MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS WILL RESULT IN MUCH MILDER
OVERNIGHT LOWS THAN TONIGHT/S.  LOWS SHOULD MAINLY BE IN THE 20S TO
AROUND 30.  IN FACT...THE OUTER ISLANDS MAY NOT FALL BELOW FREEZING
WITH STIFF WESTERLY WINDS BLOWING OFF THE RELATIVELY MILD OCEAN

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...

.HIGHLIGHTS...

* BLUSTERY AND COLDER THAN NORMAL THIS PERIOD
* MAINLY DRY WEATHER THIS WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND

00Z DETERMINISTIC AND ENSEMBLE MODELS IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT ON AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF DRY CONTINENTAL POLAR FLOW INTO NEW ENGLAND THIS
PERIOD.  THIS IS COURTSEY OF THE POLAR VORTEX SLIDING INTO QUEBEC
AND THEN REMAINING QUASI STATIONARY THIS WEEK AND INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

THIS CONTINENTAL POLAR FLOW REGIME WILL SHIFT THE STORM TRACK WELL
SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND...PRECLUDING ANY BIG STORMS FROM IMPACTING THE
REGION. THE ONLY CHANCE (ALBEIT VERY LOW) OF PRECIPITATION WILL COME
ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF CT/MA AND INTO SOUTHWEST NH AS LAKE
EFFECT SNOWS ACROSS NY STATE MAY SPILL OVER THE BERKSHIRES IN
RESPONSE TO SUCCESSIVE REINFORCING SURGES OF COLD AIR ON NW FLOW. IF
THIS FLOW DEVELOPS A MORE NORTHERLY WIND COMPONENT THEN THE OUTER
CAPE MAY GET CLIPPED BY OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS. OTHERWISE DRY
WEATHER PREVAILS.

NOT EXPECTING RECORD COLD THIS PERIOD AS 925 AND 850 TEMP ANOMALIES
ONLY ON THE ORDER OF -1 TO -2 STD BELOW CLIMO. NONETHELESS BLUSTERY
NORTHWEST WINDS WILL EXCERABATE THE COLD CONDITIONS.

00Z ECENS AND 00Z GEFS BOTH SUGGEST THIS COLD WEATHER PATTERN MAY
EASE NEXT WEEK AS THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT THE POLAR VORTEX MAY
RETREAT NORTHWARD INTO HUDSON BAY YIELDING A MORE ZONAL/PACIFIC
FLOW ACROSS THE CONUS.

TEMPS THIS PERIOD WERE DERIVED FROM 00Z HPC GUIDANCE AND GFS MOS.
PREFERRED THE COLDER HPC GUID GIVEN THE CONTINENTIAL POLAR FLOW INTO
NEW ENGLAND. THUS UTILIZED A 2/1 BLEND OF HPC/GFS MOS.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
OVERVIEW...HIGH CONFIDENCE THROUGH TUESDAY.

THROUGH 12Z...VFR CONDITIONS. WIND GUSTS UP TO 25-30 KT LINGERING
ACROSS E COASTAL MA...CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS WHICH SHOULD
DIMINISH SOME BY 12Z.

TODAY...VFR CONDITIONS. MAY SEE HIGH CLOUDS MOVE INTO THE REGION
LATE IN THE DAY. NW GUSTS TO 25 KT MAY LINGER ACROSS EASTERN AREAS
THROUGH MIDDAY.

TONIGHT-TUESDAY...VFR CONDITIONS. MID AND HIGH CLOUDS MOVE INTO
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AREAS AS WARM FRONT TRIES TO APPROACH. LOW
PROB OF RN/SN SHOWERS OVERNIGHT-TUE AM ACROSS CENTRAL AND S RI/SE
MA. COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE N DURING TUE WITH LITTLE IF ANY
PRECIP.

KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR TAF.

KBDL TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR TAF.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...

HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR MAINLY VFR AND DRY WEATHER ALONG WITH GUSTY NW
WINDS.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH CONFIDENCE THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.

NW WINDS CONTINUE TO GUST TO 40-45 KT ON THE OUTER WATERS AND
AROUND 35 KT ON THE NEARSHORE WATERS SO KEPT GALES GOING UNTIL
EXPIRATION. SEAS UP TO 18 FEET AT BUOY 44008 AND 10-11 FT AT BUOY
44098 AND WILL TAKE TIME TO SUBSIDE.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH TO SMALL CRAFT LEVELS ON MONDAY AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WEAKENS. HOWEVER...ANOTHER ROUND OF GALE FORCE
WIND GUSTS APPEARS LIKELY MONDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS
AS WESTERLY FLOW INCREASES WITH A COLD FRONT. WILL NOT HOIST A
GALE WATCH AT THIS TIME...SINCE WE ALREADY HAVE WARNINGS UP FOR
THE CURRENT SITUATION BUT LATER SHIFTS WILL LIKELY NEED TO HOIST.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...

NO BIG STORMS EXPECTED THIS PERIOD AS JET STREAM/STORM TRACK PUSHES
SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND. HOWEVER A SERIES OF DRY POLAR FRONTS WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE REGION WITH A RISK OF NW GALES BEHIND EACH FRONT...FIRST
TUE NGT INTO WED AND THEN AGAIN LATE IN THE WEEK.

INCREASING RISK FOR FREEZING SPRAY ACCOMPANYING THE NW GALES AS
WATER TEMPERATURES COOL THIS WEEK. GREATEST RISK WILL BE NEAR SHORE
WHERE THE COOLER WATER TEMPS RESIDE.
