AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
316 PM EDT TUE OCT 22 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING WITH MUCH COOLER AIR OVERSPREADING THE AREA. THE
FRONT WILL STALL OFFSHORE WITH A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING
ON THE FRONT AND TRACKING NORTHEAST. THIS WILL BRING A PERIOD OF
RAIN WEDNESDAY TO MUCH OF THE REGION ESPECIALLY ACROSS RHODE
ISLAND AND EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS. DRIER AND UNSEASONABLY CHILLY
WEATHER OVERSPREADS THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

&&

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

3 PM UPDATE...

THIS EVENING...

COLD FRONT ENTERING WESTERN MA AT 3 PM. BEHIND THE FRONT MUCH
COOLER WITH TEMPS FALLING INTO THE 50S AND 40S...MARKED BY A WIND
SHIFT TO THE WNW. A FEW VERY LIGHT SHOWERS OR SPRINKLES WILL
ACCOMPANY THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. ALSO A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS/SPRINKLES
WILL CLIP THE CAPE AND ISLANDS AS LOW LEVEL JET MOVES ACROSS THIS
AREA. MILD AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH GUSTY SW WINDS YIELDING TEMPS
65-70!

OVERNIGHT...
POST FRONTAL AIRMASS OVERSPREADS THE REGION WITH AT LEAST PARTIAL
CLEARING. A ROUND OF FROST IS EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION
AS TEMPS FALL INTO THE 30S. FROST ADVISORY ONLY POSTED FOR THOSE
AREAS THAT HAVE NOT YET EXPERIENCED A KILLING FROST/FREEZE AND
GROWING SEASON CONTINUES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...

WEDNESDAY...

MUCH BETTER MODEL AGREEMENT WITH 12Z NAM/GFS AND GEFS CONVERGING
ON A SOLUTION. 12Z ECMWF AND UKMET MORE SUPPRESSED WITH QPF JUST
CLIPPING SOUTH COAST. VERY VIGOROUS NORTHERN STREAM JET CURRENTLY
PLUNGING SOUTHWARD INTO THE PLAINS WILL INDUCE WEAK CYCLOGENESIS
ON FRONTAL BOUNDARY AS IT STALLS OFFSHORE WED. THIS FRONTAL WAVE
TRACK NE VERY CLOSE OR JUST SOUTHEAST OF THE 40N/70W BENCHMARK.
IT REMAINS AN OPEN WAVE SO WE ARE LOOKING AT A SHORT DURATION /3-6
HRS/ PRECIP EVENT.

HOWEVER BOTH THE NAM AND GFS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON FGEN/-EPV
SIGNATURE IN THE 500- 600 MB LAYER...FIRST ACROSS CT IN THE
MORNING AND THEN SHIFTING ENE INTO RI AND TOWARD THE MASS PIKE IN
EASTERN MA 18-21Z...AND FINALLY SAGGING SOUTH ACROSS CAPE COD AND
THE ISLANDS TOWARD 00Z BEFORE EXITING OUT TO SEA. THE 4KM NAM
CAPTURED THESE DETAILS SO WEIGHTED QPF HEAVILY IN THIS DIRECTION.

THIS WILL RESULT IN A BAND OF MODERATE TO PERHAPS BRIEFLY HEAVY
RAIN TOMORROW FROM HARTFORD NORTHEAST INTO BOSTON. NOT EXPECTING
MUCH PRECIP FARTHER TO THE NORTHWEST AS THESE OPEN WAVES TYPICALLY
PRODUCE BANDED PRECIP TO THE NORTH-NORTHEAST OF THE SURFACE LOW.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THIS REMAINS AN OPEN WAVE AND RAIN SHOULD
DEPART THE GREATER BOSTON AREA BY 8 PM.

AS FOR TEMPS...CHILLY TEMPS WILL OCCUR UNDER THIS RAIN BAND
ACROSS CT-RI AND INTO EASTERN MA INCLUDING THE GREATER BOSTON
AREA WHERE HEAVY PRECIP WILL YIELD WET BULB TEMPS IN THE 40S! NOT
COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW BUT DEFINITELY A CHILLY RAIN. IN FACT BEST
FORCING FOR ASCENT OCCURS IN THE SNOW GROWTH REGION OF -15C TO
-20C /500-600 MB LAYER/. THUS IF THIS EVENT OCCURRED ABOUT A MONTH
LATER OR PHASED WITH TRAILING SHORT WAVE THIS WOULD BE A MODEST
SNOW EVENT. BUT JUST A BIT TOO EARLY IN THE SEASON AND UNPHASED
SOLUTION FOR THAT. ONCE THE RAIN ENDS TEMPS WILL RISE SLIGHTLY.

THUS WED/S FORECAST WAS WEIGHTED HEAVILY TOWARD THE NAM AND ITS
METNAM MOS.

WED NIGHT...
RAPIDLY IMPROVING CONDITIONS AS FRONTAL WAVE RACES OUT TO SEA.
PRECIP ENDS BY 8 PM EXCEPT 8PM-11PM CAPE COD/NANTUCKET. TURNING
COOLER ALONG WITH BRISK WNW WINDS AS COLD AIR ADVECTION INCREASES
BEHIND DEPARTING WAVE.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
HEADLINES...

* BELOW-NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THE LATE WEEK PERIOD
* CHANCE OF SHOWERS SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING
* RETURN OF BELOW-NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK

*/OVERVIEW AND MODEL CONSENSUS...

AN IMPRESSIVE PATTERN SHIFT TAKING PLACE INTO THE END OF OCTOBER.
WITH THE MAIN POLAR VORTEX SHIFTING FROM NORTHERN RUSSIA TOWARDS THE
POLE...COLDEST OF AIR SHUNTS INTO CANADA AS THE DOWNSTREAM BLOCKING
PATTERN DEGRADES ACROSS EUROPE INTO THE EASTERN ATLANTIC. IT IS NO
SURPRISE THAT SUBSEQUENTLY THE NAO SHIFTS POSITIVE AND WE SEE A
PROGRESSIVE PATTERN RESULTING IN A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES IMPACTING
THE NORTHEASTERN CONUS EACH OF WHICH WILL DRAG COLDER AIR TO
SOUTHWARD WITH THE SHIFT OF THE AFOREMENTIONED MAIN POLAR VORTEX.

IT IS ONLY WITH SOME CERTAINTY THAT A POSITIVELY TRENDING PNA YIELDS
PREFERRED HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING ACROSS THE EASTERN PACIFIC...WITH A
DEEP AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE ALEUTIANS. TROPICAL CYCLONE
ENERGY ENTERING THE PACIFIC JET WILL EVOLVE THROUGH THE PATTERN
CYCLONICALLY DIGGING EAST OF THE EASTERN PACIFIC RIDGE...PROMOTING
TROUGH ENHANCEMENT AND DRAG DOWN OF COLDER AIR ACROSS NEW ENGLAND AT
TIMES DURING THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD.

DETERMINISTIC RUNS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO INCONSISTENCIES AS IS EVIDENT
IN INDIVIDUAL DISTURBANCES ACROSS THE CANADIAN HUDSON BAY TOWARDS
THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND NORTHEASTERN CONUS...SO ENSEMBLE MEANS
ARE PREFERRED FURTHER INTO THE FORECAST PERIOD AVOIDING ANY ONE
MODEL/S INDIVIDUAL EXTREMES AS NOTED BY HPC/WPC.

*/DAY-TO-DAY DETAILS...

*/WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...

OCEAN-EFFECT SHOWERS AND CLOUDS LINGER OFFSHORE AS THE COASTAL LOW
LIFTS EAST AND OUT TO SEA.

DEEP TROUGHING ACROSS THE REGION KEEPS THE JET STREAM AND ATTENDANT
DISTURBANCES THROUGH THE FLOW SOUTH OF THE REGION. WESTERLY FLOW
PREVAILING...BLUSTERY AT TIMES /STRONGEST OF WINDS THURSDAY WITH
GALES POSSIBLE OVER THE WATERS/. LAKE-EFFECT MACHINE IN FULL SWING
/MOSTLY CLOUDY WEST...PARTLY CLOUDY EAST WITH DOWN-SLOPING FLOW/.
DRY WEATHER.

BELOW-NORMAL TEMPERATURES AS CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTH
INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN CONUS BY SATURDAY. H85 TEMPERATURES WILL
REMAIN BELOW FREEZING...THE COLDEST AROUND -4C FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY
NIGHT.

TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO REBOUND SATURDAY WITH THE HIGH SHIFTING EAST
RESULTING IN RETURN SOUTHERLY FLOW...CONTINUED BLUSTERY.

*/SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...

PACIFIC ENERGY THROUGH CENTRAL CANADA WILL AMPLIFY AS IT RENEWS
TROUGHING ACROSS SOUTHEAST CANADA. TRAILING COLD FRONT TO THE
SURFACE LOW WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR SHOWERS...YET AVAILABLE MOISTURE
IS LIMITED AS THE TROPICS ARE CUT OFF BY SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
PARKED OVER THE SOUTHEAST CONUS. CHANCE TO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
WARRANTED...THE GREATEST OF WHICH WILL BE EAST AS SOUTHERLY FLOW
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT LATCHES ONTO BETTER MOISTURE OVER THE
WESTERN ATLANTIC.

*/MONDAY INTO MIDWEEK...

HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND THE DEPARTING SYSTEM BUILDS SOUTH OUT OF CANADA
ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN CONUS. BELOW-NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED
WITH MONDAY NIGHT LOOKING THE COLDEST AS THE POSSIBILITY OF LIGHT
WINDS AND MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS WILL YIELD AN EVENING OF EFFECTIVE
RADIATIONAL COOLING. A DEEP FREEZE CERTAINLY PLAUSIBLE IF SCENARIOS
PLAY OUT.

A BRIEF WARM UP AND RETURN TO NORMAL TEMPERATURES AHEAD OF A STRONG
IMPULSE IN PROXIMITY TO THE GREAT LAKES IS POSSIBLE BY MIDWEEK.

WEDNESDAY...WEAK LOW PRESSURE PASSING NEAR THE BENCHMARK WILL NOT
INTENSIFY QUICK ENOUGH TO BRING SCA WINDS/SEAS TO THE REGION DURING
