AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1120 PM EST THU JAN 12 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE GULF OF MAINE WILL MOVE INTO THE MARITIMES
OVERNIGHT. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE REGION LATE
FRIDAY...BRINGING MUCH COLDER AND WINDY CONDITIONS INTO THIS
WEEKEND. HIGH PRESSURE WILL WORK TO THE EASTERN SEABOARD BY EARLY
NEXT WEEK WITH MORE DRY AND SEASONABLE WEATHER.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
1100 PM UPDATE...
LOW PRES OVER THE GULF OF MAINE HAS CAUSED WINDS TO DIMINISH TO
EITHER CALM OR LIGHT N-NW. THIS WILL CAUSE COOLER AIR TO DRAIN INTO
S NH/N MA...BUT LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WILL REMAIN IN PLACE WITH LOTS OF
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN PLACE. SPOTTY LIGHT DRIZZLE WILL CONTINUE OFF
AND ON ACROSS E MA/RI THROUGH 1 AM OR SO...THEN SHOULD END AS WINDS
START TO SHIFT TO S-SW AND PICK UP A BIT. NOTING AREA OF LOW CLOUDS
AND POSSIBLY SOME DRIZZLE ACROSS THESE AREAS ON KBOX 88D
RADAR...MOVING NE.

HAVE UPDATED TEMPS/DEWPTS/WINDS TO BRING CONDITIONS CURRENT AND TAKE
INTO ACCOUNT NEAR TERM TRENDS.

PLAN ON ISSUING A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT ABOUT BLACK ICE ISSUES
ESPECIALLY FOR THE EARLY MORNING COMMUTE FOR NEAR AND N OF THE MASS
PIKE INTO THE CT VALLEY.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
EXPECT LIGHT WINDS OVERNIGHT. GIVEN THE ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
FOG WILL LIKELY BECOME WIDESPREAD. ALSO SNDGS INDICATE LOTS OF DRY
AIR ALOFT AND WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT SOME SPOTTY LIGHT DRIZZLE.
THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM FOR THE INTERIOR WHERE TEMPS ARE AT OR JUST
BELOW FREEZING. CONFIDENCE NOT HIGH ENOUGH THAT FREEZING DRIZZLE
WILL BE WIDESPREAD SO WILL HOLD OFF ON AN ADVISORY. ALSO MOST OF THE
INTERIOR ROADS HAVE ALREADY BEEN TREATED EARLIER TODAY. NEVERTHELESS
WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THIS CLOSELY OVERNIGHT FOR SLIPPERY CONDITIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
FRIDAY...
OCCLUDED FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE AREA BETWEEN 12Z-15Z. SHOULD BE AN
ORGANIZED LINE OF LOW TOP SHOWERS WITH THIS FEATURE. LOW PROB OF
ISOLATED TSTM GIVEN MARGINAL INSTABILITY COUPLED WITH STRONG
DYNAMICS. PRECIP MAY BRIEFLY START AS FREEZING RAIN ACROSS NW MA AND
SOUTHWEST NH. HOWEVER TEMPS ARE MARGINAL ALONG WITH WINDS BECOMING
SSE. THUS CONFIDENCE ISN/T HIGH ENOUGH TO ISSUE A WINTRY WEATHER
ADVISORY AT THIS TIME. OTHERWISE MILD TEMPS WILL BE OBSERVED OVER RI
AND EASTERN MA AHEAD OF OCCLUDED FRONT AS GUSTY SOUTH WINDS PROVIDE
STRONG LOW LEVEL WARM AIR ADVECTION.

BEHIND THE FRONT WINDS SHIFT TO THE WSW AND BECOME GUSTY WITH
STEEPENING LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES. HAVE ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR
ALL OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND FOR FRIDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING AS GUSTS
UP TO 50 MPH ARE LIKELY. STRONGEST WINDS MAY OCCUR LATER IN THE
AFTERNOON AS SECONDARY TROF SWINGS ACROSS THE AREA. EXPECTING DRY
CONDITIONS DURING THE AFTERNOON AFTER WIDESPREAD MORNING SHOWERS.

MAX TEMPS WILL LIKELY BE REACHED DURING THE MORNING WITH COLD AIR
ADVECTION ON THE INCREASE IN THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* WINDY...COLD WEATHER EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND
* A STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF MEASURABLE PRECIP
  EARLY NEXT WEEK

12/12Z MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
FOLLOWING THE WEEKEND...THERE ARE SOME DISCREPANCIES IN THE TIMING
OF A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AFFECTING THE REGION.  THE GFS IS 12 TO 24
HOURS FASTER THAN THE ECMWF...BRINGING THE WARM FRONT THROUGH MONDAY
AND THE COLD FRONT TUESDAY FOLLOWED BY COLD HIGH PRESSURE
WEDNESDAY.  THE ECMWF BRINGS THE WARM FRONT THROUGH TUESDAY AND THE
COLD FRONT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.  OTHERWISE...MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT
IN THEIR HANDLING OF THE SYSTEM.  WITH THE SYSTEM STILL 4 TO 5 DAYS
AWAY...WILL USE A BLEND OF THE GFS/ECMWF FOR THIS TIME FRAME.

DETAILS...
FRIDAY NIGHT...STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND A COLD FRONT WILL
RESULT IN MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES AND STRONG WINDS ACROSS SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND.  THE GFS IS ONCE AGAIN STRONGER WITH THE LOW LEVEL
WINDS WITH 50 TO 60 KNOTS AT 925MB.  HOWEVER...EVEN THE NAM AND
ECMWF HAVE 40 TO 50 KT WINDS AT THAT LEVEL.  EXPECT THE STRONGEST
WIND GUSTS /30 TO 40 KTS/ TO BE ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...MUCH COLDER AIR EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND
WITH A SECONDARY SURGE OF COLD AIR MOVING THROUGH LATE SATURDAY.
SUNDAY WILL HAVE THE COLDER TEMPERATURES OF THE WEEKEND WITH HIGHS
IN THE LOW TEENS TO LOW 20S ACROSS THE AREA.  LOW TEMPERATURES BOTH
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS MOST
LOCATIONS.  GUSTY WINDS EXPECTED WITH A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT AND
DECENT LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES SATURDAY WILL PRODUCE SUB-ZERO WIND
CHILLS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY NIGHT.  WHILE WINDS WILL
DIMINISH SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...WIDESPREAD SUB-ZERO WIND CHILLS
WILL CONTINUE SUNDAY NIGHT THANKS TO THE COLDER AIR TEMPERATURES.

EXPECT THIS TIME PERIOD TO GENERALLY BE DRY...THOUGH THERE IS THE
POSSIBILITY OF OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS ON THE OUTER CAPE.  THE
VERY COLD AIR MOVING INTO THE REGION...COUPLED WITH NORTHERLY WINDS
PUSHING THE COLD AIR OVER RELATIVELY WARM WATERS WILL RESULT IN
STEEP LAPSE RATES AND ADEQUATE LAKE INDUCED CAPES.  THIS COULD LEAD
TO SOME SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ON THE OUTER CAPE.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...EXPECT A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO AFFECT
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND DURING THIS TIME FRAME AS WELL AS WARMING
TEMPERATURES BEHIND A WARM FRONT.  AS MENTIONED ABOVE... THERE ARE
SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GFS AND THE ECMWF.  THIS SYSTEM
WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIP TO THE REGION.  RIGHT NOW...IT
APPEARS THAT MOST PRECIP WOULD BE RAIN EXCEPT FOR THE NORTHWESTERN
ZONES.  HOWEVER...THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF UNCERTAINTY ON PTYPE AND
ON THE TIMING.

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...
LOW PRES OVER MA BAY WILL MOVE NE INTO THE MARITIMES. WINDS BECOME
NW THEN SW AND DECREASE IN SPEED AND BECOME LIGHT OVERNIGHT. LARGE
E SWELLS PERSIST ALONG WITH PATCHY FOG.

FRI...
BAND OF SHOWERS DURING THE MORNING WITH ISOLATED TSTM POSSIBLE AS
OCCLUDED FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE WATERS. IMPROVING CONDITIONS
DURING THE AFTERNOON HOWEVER WSW WINDS GUSTS UP TO 45 KT! THIS
WILL CREATE DANGEROUS SEAS AS LEFTOVER E SWELLS COMBINE WITH
INCREASING WSW WIND WAVES!

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...

FRIDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN GALE FORCE WINDS WITH SOME GUSTS
POSSIBLY REACHING STORM FORCE.  WINDS AND SEAS WILL DIMINISH SOME BY

CRITERIA.  OCEAN EFFECT SNOW IS A POSSIBILITY JUST OFF THE OUTER
CAPE.

MONDAY...NORTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE SOUTH BUT WINDS AND
SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA.

MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...WINDS AND SEAS INCREASE AS A FRONTAL
SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE WATERS.  SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE
LIKELY.

...PATCHY FOG AND COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL CAUSE TRAVEL PROBLEMS
ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION EARLY THIS MORNING...

FOG WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
WITH VISIBILITIES LOWERING TO AROUND 1 MILE. THERE MAY ALSO BE
POCKETS OF DENSE FOG THAT COULD REDUCE VISIBILITIES TO ONE
QUARTER OF A MILE OR LESS ESPECIALLY AFTER 3 AM INTO THE MORNING
COMMUTE.

IN ADDITION...WITH THE RESIDUAL WET OR SNOW COVERED GROUND AND
TEMPERATURES FALLING TO NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING...AREAS OF BLACK
ICE WILL LIKELY FORM DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. THIS WILL
RESULT IN AREAS OF SLIPPERY TRAVEL DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE...
ESPECIALLY ON UNTREATED ROADWAYS AND SIDEWALKS.

MOTORISTS SHOULD USE CAUTION...SLOW DOWN AND TAKE EXTRA TIME TO
REACH THEIR DESTINATIONS. THEY SHOULD ALSO USE LOW BEAM LIGHTS AND
LEAVE PLENTY OF ROOM BETWEEN VEHICLES ON ROADWAYS...ESPECIALLY IF
APPROACHING AREAS OF FOG.
