AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
300 AM EST MON FEB 27 2012

.SYNOPSIS...

A WEAK LOW PRESSURE CENTER WILL SLIDE THROUGH NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND
LATE TODAY AND INTO TONIGHT BRINGING THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF WET
WEATHER FOR MAINLY AREAS NORTH OF THE MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE.
HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY WEATHER RETURN FOR TUESDAY. A POTENT WEATHER
SYSTEM IS SHAPING UP FOR WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY WITH THE
POSSIBILITY OF SNOW. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS BRIEFLY FOR FRIDAY...
FOLLOWING BY A WARM AND WET WEATHER SYSTEM FOR SATURDAY.

&&

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

SFC HIGH PRES SLIDES EWD AS A SFC LOW APPROACHES FROM THE GRT LKS
RGN. A WEAK H5 TROF AXIS WITH ATTENDANT SHRTWV ENERGY STILL RETAINS A
FAIR AMNT OF FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING VIA A SFC COLD FRNT AND ALONG
THE W SLOPES OF HIGHER TERRAIN /OROGRAPHIC PROCESSES/. IN ADDITION
THERES AT LEAST SOME SUBSTANTIAL UPR LVL DIV WITH DIFLUENT MOTIONS
OF THE MID-UPR LVLS AHEAD OF THE WEAK H5 TROF AXIS.

BUT BESIDE THE FAVORABLE LIFTING...THERE IS STILL A FAIR AMNT OF DRY
AIR IN PLACE. FCST SOUNDINGS ILLUSTRATE CONSIDERABLE DRY AIR WITHIN
THE LLVL PROFILES BELOW H7. DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS AT THE SFC WILL BE
RATHER LARGE. THE SYS ITSELF APPEARS TO LATCH INTO THE BETTER
MID-ATLANTIC AND GULF MOISTURE AS IT PASSES ACROSS NEW ENGLAND INTO
THE GULF OF ME LATER TONIGHT /THERES ALSO A HINT OF DRY AIR
SQUEEZED BETWEEN THE LOW PRES AND STREAMING MOISTURE FROM THE SERN
CONUS/. THEREFORE BELIEVE THAT LIMITED MOISTURE AVAILABILITY
INITIALLY ALONG WITH A VERY DRY ATMOS WILL KEEP POP CHCS AT A
MINIMUM OVER THE ENTIRE AREA FOR TODAY. MID-UPR LVL CLOUDS SHOULD
INCREASE INTO THE EVNG PD FROM W TO E AND MAINLY ACROSS NRN FCST
AREAS.

MID-LVL WARM FRNT WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NEWD ACROSS NEW ENGLAND THRU
THE DAY IN ADVANCE OF THE APPROACHING LOW PRES SYS. CONSIDERING
WELL-MIXED LLVLS TO H925 WHERE TEMPS WILL RANGE AROUND +2C AT MAX
HEATING OF THE DAY...WILL GO HIGH TEMPS INTO THE LOW 50S. IN
ADDITION...30 MPH FLOW AT H925 WILL LIKELY MIX-DOWN TO THE SFC
RESULTING IN SOME BLUSTERY SW WINDS DURING THE DAY...ESPECIALLY
ALONG THE S SHORE.

&&

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

TONIGHT...

SFC LOW WILL TRANSLATE E ACROSS THE RGN WITH AN ATTENDANT SFC COLD
FRNT WHICH WILL SLIDE THRU THE RGN AROUND MIDNIGHT. BETTER LIFT AND
DYNAMICS WILL RESIDE WITH THE LOW PRES CENTER OVER N NEW ENGLAND AND
THUS HAVE LOW CHC POPS N OF THE MASS PIKE /BETTER CHC POPS WILL BE
ALONG W SLOPES OF HIGHER TERRAIN/.

SFC TEMPS WILL REMAIN STABLE INTO MIDNIGHT AS SWLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE
FRNT HAS PUMPED HIGHER DWPTS ONSHORE DURING THE DAY AND PRIOR TO
COLD FRNTL PASSAGE. IN ADDITION SWLY FLOW WILL HAVE ADVECTED +2 TO
+4C AIR AT H925 THRU MUCH OF THE FCST RGN...SO FEEL MOST PRECIP WILL
BE IN THE FORM OF RAIN /MAYBE SOME SNOW FOR THE HIGHER TERRAIN...
BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW AT THIS TIME/. DEPTH OF MOISTURE WITHIN THE
ATMOS COLUMN STILL SEEMS LIMITED...SO FEEL ANY RAIN WILL BE LIGHT
IN NATURE...ONLY SO MUCH TO WET THE SFC.

AFTER THE COLD FRNTL PASSAGE...WILL SEE STRONG CAA ON THE BACKSIDE
OF THE SYS WITH W/NWLY FLOW...INCREASING THRU THE EVNG AS THE SYS
DEEPENS THRU THE GULF OF ME INTO SERN CANADA /SHOULD BE SOME
STRONG GUSTS ESPECIALLY CLOSER TO SHORE INTO THE MORNING HRS/.
CLOUDS ASSOC WITH THE SYS SHOULD GRADUALLY DIMINISH WITH
INCREASING SUBSIDENCE INTO THE AREA.

TUESDAY...

CLOUDS CONTINUE TO DISSIPATE AND W/NWLY FLOW WEAKENS AS HIGH PRES
BUILDS INTO THE RGN BY MIDDAY /STRONG GUSTS CONTINUING ALONG THE
SHORES AND OUT OVER THE WATERS...SEE MARINE SECTION/. ANTICIPATING
A MOSTLY CLEAR DAY WITH MIXING UP TO H925 WHERE TEMPS WILL AVG
AROUND -4C. THUS WILL GO WITH MAX TEMPS INTO THE LOW-MID 40S.
INCREASING MID- UPR LVL CLOUDS LATE IN ADVANCE OF THE APPROACHING
MID-WEEK SYS.

&&

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

HIGHLIGHTS...

 * DRY AND BREEZY ON TUE
 * SNOW POTENTIAL CONTINUES WED-THU
 * POTENTIAL FOR A MILDER/WETTER SYSTEM NEXT SAT

DETAILS...

TUESDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
DRY WEATHER CONTINUES BUT EXPECT SOME MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS
TO STREAM IN FROM THE WEST.  LOW TEMPERATURES SHOULD MAINLY BE IN
THE 20S.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE.
TWO MAIN WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE WILL LIKELY BRING AT LEAST SOME SNOW
TO THE REGION WED AFTERNOON INTO THU.  HOWEVER...AMOUNTS/TIMING AND
DURATION REMAIN VERY UNCERTAIN.  THIS WILL DEPEND UPON HOW FAR
NORTH/SOUTH THE ACTUAL SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL TRACK.  THE
KEY IS THE COLD HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER EASTERN CANADA AND HOW
MUCH SUPPRESSION RESULTS FROM IT.

THE LATEST ECMWF MODEL IS AN OUTLIER COMPARED TO MOST OTHER
GUIDANCE...AS IT SUPPRESSES THE FIRST WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WED/WED
NIGHT WITH THE SNOW GENERALLY REMAINING SOUTH OF THE MA TURNPIKE.
ALTHOUGH ITS AN OUTLIER...BASED ON A STRONG HIGH IN EASTERN CANADA
AND ITS TRACK RECORD LEANED IN THE ECMWF DIRECTION.  HOWEVER...DID
NOT COMPLETELY DISCOUNT THE OTHER GUIDANCE.  SO BASICALLY...WILL RUN
WITH CHANCE POPS ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES TO LIKELY/S ACROSS THE
WESTERN/SOUTHERN ZONES WED/WED NIGHT.

A SECOND WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PROBABLY AFFECT THE REGION ON
THU.  AGAIN...ITS IMPACTS ON SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL DEPEND UPON
HOW FAR NORTH/SOUTH IT FORMS.  LEANED THE FORECAST TOWARDS THE
ECMWF BUT DID FACTOR IN THE OTHER GUIDANCE.  THE PATTERN IS
FAVORABLE FOR AN INVERTED TROUGH TO SETUP WHICH USUALLY FAVORS OUR
EASTERN ZONES TO GET THE MOST PRECIPITATION...BUT PLENTY OF
UNCERTAINTY REMAINS.

ALL IN ALL...ODDS FAVOR MOST OF THE REGION EVENTUALLY SEEING SOME
SNOW FROM THESE TWO SYSTEMS.  ITS WAY TOO EARLY TO EVEN SPECULATE ON
AMOUNTS.  IT DOES APPEAR THAT MOST OF WHAT FALLS WILL BE IN THE FORM
OF SNOW AS WE FEEL THE GFS THERMAL PROFILES ARE TOO WARM.
HOWEVER...THERE COULD BE A PERIOD OF MIXED PRECIP IN OUR SOUTHERN
ZONES.

FRIDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
A FEW LEFT OVER SNOW SHOWERS CAN/T BE RULED OUT ESPECIALLY DURING
THE MORNING WITH THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH HANGING BACK.  PLENTY OF
CLOUDS WILL LIKELY LINGER ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY....LOW CONFIDENCE.
A LONG WAYS OUT BUT THE MODELS HAVE ANOTHER SYSTEM AFFECTING THE
REGION ON SAT.  AT THIS POINT IT LOOKS WARMER WITH MAINLY RAIN...BUT
A BIT OF ICE/SNOW CAN/T BE RULED ACROSS THE INTERIOR DURING THE
ONSET.  DRIER AND SEASONABLE WEATHER LOOKS TO RETURN FOR SUN.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MODERATE...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

REMAINDER OF TONIGHT...
HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR. LIGHT AND VRB WINDS. PERHAPS SOME MID-HIGH
CLOUDS ABOVE 10 KFT FOR THE CENTRAL AND NRN NEW ENGLAND TERMINALS.

MONDAY...
HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR. MID-HIGH LVL CLOUDS INVADING MAINLY CENTRAL
AND NRN NEW ENGLAND TERMINALS THRU THE DAY. PSBL -SHRA LATE IN THE
PERIOD /MORESO FOR MHT/ BUT LOW CONFIDENCE AT THIS TIME. WILL SEE
STRONG S/SW FLOW ALONG THE S COAST /GUSTS TO 25 KTS PSBL/ WHICH
WILL LIKELY STREAM CLOUDS NEWD ACROSS THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. LOW
CONFIDENCE OF MVFR CIGS WITH CLOUDS.

MONDAY NIGHT...
HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR. CLOUDS LOWERING AND THICKENING THRU THE
TERMINALS. ANTICIPATING LOW-END VFR...BUT LOW CONFIDENCE MVFR.
BEST -SHRA CHCS WILL BE BETWEEN 0-6Z ACROSS NRN AND CENTRAL NEW
ENGLAND TERMINALS...ACTIVITY SHOULD BE LIGHT AND NOT ANTICIPATING
ANY VSBY RESTRICTIONS. SWLY FLOW WILL DIMINISH AS A COLD FRNT
SWEEPS THRU THE TERMINALS AROUND 6Z...BACKING OUT OF THE W/NW IN
RESPONSE TO THE LOW CENTER DEEPENING INTO SERN CANADA. GUSTS TO 20
KTS BY MORNING /STRONGER MORESO OUT ALONG THE CAPE AND ISLANDS/.

TUESDAY...
HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR. CIGS DISSIPATING AND BECOMING CLEAR. W/NW
FLOW CONTINUING WITH GUSTS OF 20 TO 25 KTS THRU THE INTERIOR...
STRONGER MORESO ALONG THE ERN AND SRN SHORELINES WITH GUSTS UP TO
30 KTS PSBL. WINDS DIMINISHING BY EVNG AS HIGH PRES BUILDS BACK
INTO THE RGN.

KBOS TERMINAL...
HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR. WINDS BECOMING SWLY THRU THE DAY WITH
INCREASING MID-HIGH LVL CLOUDS. A PSBL -SHRA BETWEEN 0-6Z BUT
SHOULD BE LIGHT IN NATURE AND SHRA SHOULD BE FAIRLY ISOLATED.
ANTICIPATING A SFC COLD FRNT THRU THE TERMINAL AROUND 6Z WITH W/NW
FLOW THEREAFTER...GUSTING UP TO 30 KTS DURING THE DAY TUESDAY.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  MVFR/IFR IN PERIODS
OF SNOW OR MIXED RAIN/SNOW IN OUR SOUTHERN ZONES WED AFT INTO THU.
HOWEVER...TIMING/DURATION REMAINS VERY UNCERTAIN.

FRIDAY...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  MVFR CEILINGS MAY LINGER FOR A
TIME ESPECIALLY ON THE COAST.

&&

.MARINE...

TODAY...
BY MIDDAY SHOULD SEE S/SWLY FLOW INCREASE ALONG THE S WATERS WITH
GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 25 KTS AND SEAS BUILDING TO 5 FEET. THUS SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN ISSUED BEGINNING AROUND NOON FOR THE S
WATERS...EXTENDING TO THE E WATERS BY DUSK.

TONIGHT...
S/SWLY FLOW WITH GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 25 KTS WILL CONTINUE ALONG AND
AHEAD OF A SFC COLD FRNT WHICH WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE WATERS AFTER
MIDNIGHT. ANTICIPATE WINDS TO BACK OUT OF THE W/NW TO INCREASE
WITH GUSTS POSSIBLY NEAR GALE FORCE /LOW CONFIDENCE ON GALE FORCE
GUSTS/. SEAS BUILDING TO 6 TO 8 FEET ON THE OUTER WATERS.

TUESDAY...
W/NWLY FLOW CONTINUING INTO MORNING WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR GALE
FORCE GUSTS /CONTINUED LOW CONFIDENCE/. GUSTS TO DIMINISH INTO
MIDDAY AS HIGH PRES BEGINS TO BUILD OVER THE WATERS. SEAS TO
REMAIN IN EXCESS OF 5 FEET ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...
INCREASING E/NE WIND GUSTS WED INTO THU MAY REACH GALE
FORCE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EASTERN MA WATERS AS SERIES OF LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEMS PASS S OF NEW ENGLAND. ALTHOUGH THERE IS
UNCERTAINTY AS TO TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THESE SYSTEMS...PRESENCE OF
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN CANADA SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR
AT LEAST STRONG SCA WIND GUSTS TO DEVELOP.  LONG EASTERLY FETCH
SHOULD RESULT IN SEAS BUILDING IN EXCESS OF 10 FEET ACROSS THE
EASTERN MA WATERS.

FRIDAY...
E/NE FLOW WILL LIKELY CONTINUE BUT SPEEDS SHOULD DIMINISH AS LOW
PRESSURE MOVES AWAY FROM THE REGION.  STILL MAY SEE NORTHEAST WIND
GUSTS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS.  SEAS WILL LIKELY REMAIN WELL ABOVE SCA
THRESHOLDS ACROSS THE EASTERN OUTER-WATERS FROM LEFT OVER SWELL.

&&
