AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1245 AM EST TUE FEB 7 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A DRY COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION EARLY THIS MORNING.
HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS FROM CANADA ON WEDNESDAY FOLLOWED BY AN
WEAK WEATHER DISTURBANCE FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH A RAIN AND SNOW
MIX MAINLY FOR THE SOUTH COAST OF NEW ENGLAND. DRY WEATHER WITH HIGH
PRESSURE IS EXPECTED FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...WITH DISTURBED
WEATHER MOVING BACK INTO THE REGION FOR THE WEEKEND WITH THE
EXPECTATION OF SNOW. COULD SEE SOME OF THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON
FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.

&&

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

1245 AM UPDATE...
CLEAR SKIES CONTINUED ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND VERY EARLY THIS
MORNING.  WE SHOULD SEE SOME MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS WORK INTO THE
NORTHWEST SECTIONS OF OUR REGION TOWARD DAYBREAK.  THIS AS A WEAK
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION.  HOWEVER...WITH LITTLE LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE NO PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR WITH THE FRONT.

LOW TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE IN THE 20S ACROSS THE OUTLYING
LOCATIONS...TO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 30S IN THE URBANIZED AREAS OF THE
COASTAL PLAIN.  IT WILL EVEN BE A FEW DEGREES MILDER THAN THAT
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CAPE/ISLANDS WHERE THE WITH WEST TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS BLOWING OFF THE OCEAN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
TUESDAY...
TWO THINGS TO LOOK AT FOR THE TUESDAY FORECAST. FIRST IS THE
APPROACHING SHORTWAVE...THAT WILL MOVE OVER JERSEY AND LONG
ISLAND. THIS SHORTWAVE WILL REMAIN JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE AREA.
THE BETTER LIFT AND MOISTURE IS OVER THE SOUTHERN WATERS...SO THIS
SHORTWAVE SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. UNLESS THERE IS MORE MOISTURE
THEN WHAT MODELS PROG...THEREFORE A FLURRY OR TWO MAY FALL ACROSS
THE SOUTH COAST BUT HIGHLY UNLIKELY. THE SECOND FOCUS WILL BE THE
APPROACHING COLD FRONT WHICH WILL HAVE MORE OF AN IMPACT ON THE
AREA. THIS FRONT HAS SLOWED DOWN SLIGHTLY THEN LAST NIGHTS MODELS
AND HAVE ADJUSTED FOR THAT. EXPECT FROPA TO OCCUR SOMETIME AROUND
12-15Z FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST. WINDS WILL SWITCH FROM THE WSW
TO THE NW. THERE IS SOME MOISTURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE...BUT BELIEVE
WE WILL JUST SEE LOWERING THE CLOUD DECK THEN ANY FORM OF PRECIP.
CONTINUED WITH THE DRY FORECAST THAT MIDNIGHT SHIFT HAD.
TEMPERATURES TOMORROW WILL BE ABOVE AVERAGE ONCE AGAIN AS CAA WILL
NOT COMMENCE UNTIL AFTER 18Z. 850 MB TEMPS WILL RANGE FROM -2 TO
2C. THEREFORE EXPECT MAZ TEMPS TO REACH THE IN THE MID TO UPPER
40S SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE...WHILE NORTHWARDS WILL SEE THE LOW
40S.

TUESDAY NIGHT...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD ON TUESDAY NIGHT...KEEPING WINDS
OUT OF THE NORTHWEST. TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT WILL BE QUIET CHILLY
AND DROP TO THE TEENS IN THE INTERIOR TO THE LOW-MID 20S NEAR THE
COASTAL REGIONS. SOME LINGERING MOISTURE IN THE LOW TO MID LEVELS
WILL KEEP CLOUD COVER ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE AREA... ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE BEGINS TO APPROACH THE REGION.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...
* WEAK WEATHER DISTURBANCE WITH A RAIN/SNOW MIX FOR WED NGT
* DRY WX FOR THURS AND FRI...DISTURBED WX BEGINNING SAT
* SOME OF THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON EXPECTED SUN INTO MON

OVERVIEW...

AS THE PREV FCSTR ALLUDED TO...TWO SEPARATE DISTINCT SHRTWV
DISTURBANCES /ONE OVER THE BEAUFORT SEA AND A SECOND OVER THE NW
PASSAGES...BOTH IN N CANADA/ ARE WITHIN RGNS OF BETTER UPR AIR
SAMPLING AND SFC OBSERVATIONS. PER THE 06/12Z FCST PACKAGE...THE TWO
WILL MERGE TOGETHER THRU THE N HUDSON BAY RGN AND AMPLIFY AS ONE
CENTRAL POLAR VORTEX OVER N QUEBEC TUESDAY AND GRADUALLY ROTATE SEWD
INTO NEW ENGLAND BY THE WEEKEND INTO THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.
SOME UNDERLYING QUESTIONS IS HOW AND WHEN THIS ENERGY WILL EVOLVE
AND TRANSLATE WITH ATTENDANT SFC COLD FRNT AND BAROCLINIC ZONE...
AND HOW COLD WILL IT GET FOR THE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY PD. AT THIS
POINT IN TIME...HAVE GOOD CONFIDENCE WITH RECENT TRENDS IN
TELECONNECTIONS THAT BETTER TROUGHING INTO THE ERN CONUS IS
PLAUSIBLE.

WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...
WHILE A RIDGE OF HIGH PRES REMAINS STRETCHED ACROSS THE RGN...A
SERIES OF SHRTWV DISTURBANCES WILL TRANSLATE EWD THRU THE E-W
LONGWAVE PATTERN. INVOCATION OF SFC CYCLOGENESIS OFF THE CAROLINA
COASTLINE PRESENTS THE POSSIBILITY FOR SLGT CHC TO CHC POPS FOR THE
FAR S NEW ENGLAND. FURTHER INVESTIGATION SHOWS PRECIP OUTCOMES ARE
DUE TO SUFFICIENT LIFT WITHIN THE ATMOS COLUMN /ENHANCED ASCENT OF
RESIDUAL MOISTURE AND MID-UPR LVL DIFFLUENCE ALOFT COLLOCATED WITH
THE LEFT EXIT RGN OF A H3 100 KT JET AXIS/ ALONG A MOIST ADIABATIC
PROFILE. LOOKING LIKE A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW FOR THE IMMEDIATE S
COASTLINE AND ISLANDS...WITH SNOW ACROSS THE INTERIOR S OF A LINE
PARALLEL OF THE CT-RI-MA BORDER...LATE WED AFTN INTO A TIMEFRAME
SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. AROUND TIME OF PRECIP DEWPOINTS WILL BE LOW
TO MID 20S FOR THOSE AREAS AFFECTED...LIKE EVAP COOLING WILL LOWER
TEMPS KEEPING PRECIP MAINLY SNOW...BUT WITH A SLIGHT COMPONENT OF
ONSHORE FLOW FROM THE WARMER WATERS...THERE EXISTS THE CHC FOR SOME
RAIN TO MIX IN. NOT LOOKING FOR MUCH IN THE AWAY IN ACCUM...A TRACE
AT MOST AS PRECIP AMNTS WILL BE ONE OR TWO ONE-HUNDREDTHS. MAX TEMPS
IN THE MID-UPR 30S WITH H925 TEMPS -4 TO -6C UNDER LIGHT WLY FLOW.
MINS IN THE LOW-MID 20S THRU THE INTERIOR /UPR TEENS N AND W ALONG
HIGHER TERRAIN/ WITH MID-UPR 20S S AND E WITH TEMPS AROUND 30 FOR
THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.

THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...
HIGH PRES REMAINS IN CONTROL OF THE AREAS WX AS THE POLAR VORTEX
ACROSS N QUEBEC EVOLVES AND AMPLIFIES AS ENERGY BIFURCATES RESULTING
IN A POS TILTED TROF AXIS INTO THE CENTRAL CONUS. WILL SEE SW FLOW
AHEAD OF THE TROF AXIS AND COLLOCATED SFC COLD FRNT. THE EVOLUTION
OF THE BAROCLINIC ZONE IS SOMEWHAT IN QUESTION DUE TO MDL SOLNS
DIVERGENCE IN HANDLING THE POS TILTED TROF AXIS...NEVERTHELESS IT
APPEARS THE SFC COLD FRNT ITSELF WILL BE SLOW IN SLIDING SEWD. WILL
KEEP THE DAY PD DRY AND MOSTLY CLEAR...SO WITH H925 TEMPS AROUND -2C
DURING MAX HEATING OF THE DAY...WENT THE WARMER SIDE OF GUIDANCE
WITH HIGHS AROUND THE LOW 40S /WILL NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE LOCALES
INTO THE MID 40S/. WELL-MIXED LLVLS WILL USHER FASTER MOMENTUM TO
THE SFC...BUT AGAIN...DIVERGENCE OF SOLNS RESULT IN A DIFFERENCE IN
WINDS ALOFT. WILL LEAN WITH 20 MPH SW GUSTS THRU THE DAY. OVRNGT AS
THE SFC COLD FRNT NUDGES SLOWLY FROM THE ERN GRT LKS RGN...WE SHOULD
BEGIN TO SEE THE INCREASE IN CLOUDS. WILL CONTINUE A DRY FCST SINCE
AT THIS POINT THE POLAR VORTEX AND CONTINENTAL POLAR AIRMASS IS
DISCONNECTED FROM BETTER MOISTURE FROM THE GULF. WILL WARM MINS JUST
A FEW DEGREES IN COMPARISON TO THURS MORN AS WINDS WILL BE ONSHORE
OUT OF THE SW. COLD THRU THE INTERIOR.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...
ITS NOW A QUESTION OF HOW THE POS TILTED ENERGY BIFURCATING FROM THE
POLAR VORTEX EVOLVES THRU THE FCST AREA /ALONG WITH ATTENDANT
BAROCLINIC ZONE WITH THE SFC COLD FRNT/. 06/12Z GFS AND ECMWF
PACKAGE IS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT OF THE TROF DIGGING THRU THE GRT
LKS RGN FRI NGT INTO NEW ENGLAND BY SAT. DURING SUCH TIME THE
ATTENDANT SFC COLD FRNT SLIDES SEWD AND OFFSHORE BY SAT MORN. THE
FRNTL PASSAGE ITSELF STILL RETAINS CONTINENTAL-POLAR
CHARACTERISTICS...ALTHO THEIR IS FAIRLY DECENT LIFT AND
FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING...THERE IS LITTLE IN THE WAY OF MOISTURE
AVAILABILITY ASIDE FROM WHAT IS WRAPPED AROUND A SFC LOW THAT
DEVELOPS OFFSHORE OF NEW ENGLAND ON SATURDAY. THUS WILL SEE
INCREASING CLOUDS AND POPS CHCS INTO SAT WITH THE EXPECTATION OF
MAINLY SNOW. GUSTY SW FLOW FRI WILL BACK OUT OF THE NW WITH FRNTL
PASSAGE USHERING THE BEGINNING OF ARCTIC AIR FILTERING INTO THE RGN.

SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...
POLAR VORTEX ROLLS THRU NEW ENGLAND LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. SFC
HIGH PRES /1032-1034 MB/ DIGS SEWD OUT OF CENTRAL CANADA WITH SOME
OF THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON. CONSEQUENTIALLY PRECIP CHCS
SEEMINGLY COME TO AN END MONDAY MORNING. EVALUATING MDL 2M TEMPS...
VERY COLD AIR IS EXPECTED FOR MONDAY MORNING /AND AGAIN TUE MORN/.
HIGH TEMPS IN THE 20S FOR SUNDAY...BUT COULD BE STUCK IN THE TEENS
FOR MONDAY. NW FLOW PREVAILS...LIKELY BLUSTERY AS H925 FLOW IS
ADVERTISED 35 TO 40 MPH THRU THE LATE PD SUNDAY AND THRU MONDAY.
