AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1257 AM EST THU FEB 21 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
MUCH COLDER AND BLUSTERY CONDITIONS CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY NIGHT.
HIGH PRESSURE PROVIDES LIGHT WINDS FRI ALONG WITH DRY BUT COOL
WEATHER. A POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM REMAINS POSSIBLE
THIS WEEKEND WITH A HIGH PROBABILITY FOR HEAVY PRECIPITATION AND
STRONG WINDS. HOWEVER PRECIPITATION TYPE...SNOWFALL AMOUNTS AND
WHERE THE RAIN/SNOW LINE SETS UP IS HIGHLY UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME
RANGE. A DRYING TREND IS LIKELY EARLY NEXT WEEK BUT MAY BE SHORT
LIVED AS AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN COULD DELIVER ANOTHER WINTER
STORM TUE AND/OR WED OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

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

100 AM UPDATE...
PRESSURE GRADIENT IS STILL CONSIDERABLY STRONG ACROSS THE REGION
AS UPPER LEVEL LOW CONTINUES TO SPIN OVER MAINE. SEVERAL
SHORTWAVES ARE ROUNDING THIS LOW WITH ONE MOVING ACROSS NEW
ENGLAND OVERNIGHT INTO THE MORNING HOURS. THIS SHORTWAVE WILL
HELP AID IN THE TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT SO EXPECT GUSTY WINDS
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT CONTINUING INTO THE MORNING HOURS. VWP PROFILES
ALSO SHOW STRONG NW WINDS ACROSS NEW ENGLAND. THIS WILL KEEP THE
NW FLOW ACROSS THE REGION AND DIVERT THE LES TOWARDS THE BERKS.
THIS REGION HAS THE BEST AREA TO SEE SNOW...HOWEVER VERY LITTLE IF
ANY ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED. OTHERWISE FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK
AS TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN THE 20S AS GUSTY WINDS WILL NOT
ALLOW FOR TEMPS TO REALLY RADIATE OUT OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
WHILE HIGH PRESSURE STARTS TO BUILD IN...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL
REMAIN FAIRLY TIGHT OVER THE AREA.  THIS WILL MEAN WINDS SHIFTING TO
THE NORTHWEST WILL CONTINUE TO GUST UP TO 35 MPH.  THESE WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO BRING COLDER AIR INTO THE AREA.  HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL
BE IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S...BUT WITH THE WIND IT WILL FEEL
LIKE ITS IN THE TEENS TO LOWER 20S.

THE OTHER CONCERN FOR THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE THE
POTENTIAL FOR SOME OCEAN EFFECT SNOW ON THE OUTER CAPE AND
NANTUCKET.  WINDS SHIFT TO THE NORTH-NORTHWEST...ALLOWING FOR A
FAIRLY LONG FETCH OVER THE WATER...BUT WINDS MAY BE STRONG ENOUGH TO
HOLD IT JUST OFFSHORE OF THE CAPE AND NANTUCKET.  SO HAVE SLIGHT
CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS FOR THESE AREAS FOR THIS POTENTIAL.

HIGH PRESSURE STARTS BUILDING IN OVER THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT SO
WINDS WILL SLACKEN OFF A BIT.  TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER THOUGH
OVERNIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER TEENS TO LOW 20S.

&&

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

* SIGNIFICANT COASTAL STORM LIKELY THIS WEEKEND BUT PTYPE/SNOW
  AMOUNTS AND RAIN/SNOW LINE REMAINS HIGHLY UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME

* ACTIVE WEATHER CONTINUES INTO NEXT WEEK

FRI...QUIET WEATHER WITH DEEP LAYER RIDGE MOVING ACROSS NEW ENGLAND.
THIS WILL TRANSLATE TO AT LEAST SOME SUNSHINE/DRY WEATHER AND LIGHT
WINDS. TEMPS WILL BE SEASONABLY COOL WITH HIGHS IN THE U30S TO L40S
BUT THE LIGHT WINDS AND LATE FEB SUNSHINE SHOULD TAKE THE EDGE OFF
THE COOL TEMPS.

SAT/SUN...

NEW 12Z RUNS INCLUDING THE 12Z ECMWF AND ITS ENSEMBLES 12Z ECENS
ALONG WITH THE 12Z GFS AND ITS ENSEMBLES 12Z GEFS HAVE ALL TRENDED
TOWARD A STRONGER COASTAL STORM ALONG WITH A MORE NORTHWARD TRACK.
THE 12Z ECMWF LIES ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE GUIDANCE ENVELOPE
WITH ITS ENSEMBLES /ECENS/ FARTHER SOUTH NEAR THE 40N/70W BENCHMARK
12Z SUN. THIS IS ALSO VERY CLOSE TO THE ENSEMBLE MEAN OF THE GEFS.
THIS WOULD BE AN IDEAL STORM TRACK FOR HEAVY SNOW ALONG THE I95 PVD-
BOS CORRIDOR. HOWEVER GIVEN IT/S PAST PERFORMANCE THIS WINTER AND
PAST WINTERS HAVE TO RESPECT THE STORM SIMULATION OF THE 12Z ECMWF.
HOWEVER A POSSIBLE RED FLAG IS THAT THE EC HASN/T BEEN LOCKED INTO
THIS FARTHER NORTH/WARMER SOLUTION. THIS IS A RECENT TREND. IN FACT
MOST OF THE MODEL GUIDANCE HAS TRENDED FARTHER NORTH AND STRONGER
FROM YDAY/S RUNS.

THUS MODELS HAVE NOT CONVERGED YET ON A SOLUTION AND GIVEN THIS
POTENTIAL EVENT IS STILL 84-96 HRS OUT IT/S MORE APPROPRIATE TO
DISCUSS IN PROBABILISTIC TERMS THAN DETERMINISTIC. THEREFORE THIS
FORECAST WAS BASED ON AN EVEN BLEND OF GFS/EC AND HPC. THIS
TRANSLATES TO MIXED PRECIPITATION SAT NGT POSSIBLY AS FAR NORTH AS
THE I-90/MA PIKE. HOWEVER RAIN OR MIXED PRECIP COULD CHANGE BACK TO
SNOW ON THE BACKSIDE SUN MORNING AS THERE ARE SIGNS OF A SIGNIFICANT
COMMA HEAD WITH ACCUMULATING SNOWS FOR MUCH OF THE AREA SUN MORNING
AND AFTERNOON.

TIMING...HEAVIEST QPF APPEARS SAT NIGHT INTO SUN MORNING WITH SNOW
BEGINNING POSSIBLY AS EARLY AS SAT AFTN. STRONGEST WINDS APPEAR LATE
SAT NIGHT INTO SUN.

SO IN A NUTSHELL...HIGH PROBABILITY FOR A SIGNIFICANT COASTAL STORM
THIS WEEKEND ALONG WITH HEAVY QPF /SRN STREAM SYSTEM WITH HIGH PWAT
STREAM/. HOWEVER HIGH UNCERTAINTY ON PTYPE/SNOWFALL AMOUNTS/AXIS OF
HEAVY SNOWFALL/RAIN-SNOW LINE ALONG WITH STRENGTH AND DURATION OF
WINDS PENDING STORM TRACK. LOCATIONS THAT REMAIN ALL SNOW HAVE THE
POTENTIAL FOR 1+ FT OF SNOWFALL. THERE IS A CONCERN FOR POWER
OUTAGES IF HEAVY WET SNOW COINCIDES WITH AREA OF STRONG WINDS.
ALTHOUGH IF THIS NORTHWARD TREND CONTINUES IN LATER MODEL RUNS THE
RISK AREA FOR HEAVY SNOWFALL WOULD PUSH NORTHWARD ACROSS CENTRAL-
NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

NEXT WEEK...

DRYING TREND LIKELY TO START NEXT WEEK BUT SHOULD BE SHORT LIVED AS
U/A PATTERN REMAINS ACTIVE WITH NEXT PRECIP EVENT SLATED FOR
TUE/WED. WINTER PTYPE LOOKS POSSIBLE.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
  MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

OVERVIEW...HIGH CONFIDENCE THROUGH FRIDAY.

THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DOMINATE
DESPITE SCATTERED TO BROKEN CU CLOUDS AT TIMES. HOWEVER...DO
EXPECT PERIODS OF MARGINAL MVFR CIGS AT TIMES ESPECIALLY ALONG THE
EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES. WEST TO NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS OF 20
TO 30 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD.

FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT...VFR CONDITIONS AND VARIABLE WINDS
EXPECTED AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER THE REGION. CONDITIONS MAY
START DETERIORATE LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY...LOW
CONFIDENCE ON TIMING.

KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

KBDL TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

FRIDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR ALONG WITH LIGHT WINDS.

SATURDAY/SUNDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS SAT NIGHT
INTO SUN...BUT LOWER CONFIDENCE ON PTYPE AND SNOW AMOUNTS. STRONG NE
WINDS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS.

MON...MODERATE CONFIDENCE FOR IMPROVING CONDITIONS...MVFR-VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH CONFIDENCE TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.

TONIGHT...WITH WESTERLY WINDS CONTINUING TO GUST TO AROUND 30 KT...
SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD REACHING 8 TO 10 FEET ON THE SOUTHERN
OUTER WATERS AND 4 TO 6 FEET ON THE EASTERN OUTER WATERS.  SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE OUT FOR ALL THE COASTAL WATERS.

THURSDAY...SEAS START TO DIMINISH AS WINDS SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST...
BUT WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO GUST TO AROUND 30 KTS.  SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES CONTINUE.  OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS MAY AFFECT THE
WATERS EAST OF CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET.

THURSDAY NIGHT...WINDS AND SEAS GRADUALLY DIMINISH AS HIGH PRESSURE
STARTS TO BUILD IN OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...HOWEVER...SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES WILL CONTINUE.

IN ADDITION...AREAS OF FREEZING SPRAY ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
TONIGHT INTO THU MORNING BUT ICE ACCRETION IS LIKELY TO FALL JUST
SHORT OF ANY HEADLINES.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

FRI...QUIET WEATHER WITH HIGH PRES OVERHEAD.

SAT/SUN...GALE CENTER LIKELY TRACKS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN NANTUCKET-CAPE
COD AND 40N/70W 12Z SUN.  NE GALES LIKELY WITH STORM FORCE GUSTS
POSSIBLE ALONG WITH DANGEROUS SEAS. VSBY REDUCED IN HEAVY SNOW AND
RAIN.

MON...IMPROVING CONDITIONS WITH HIGH PRES BUILDING INTO NEW ENGLAND
FROM THE WEST.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
NOT MUCH OF A DIFFERENT MESSAGE FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION WITH A
HIGH PROBABILITY OF MINOR COASTAL FLOODING EASTERN MA SHORELINE
SUN MORNING TIDE CYCLE. IF STRONGEST WINDS AND SURGE COINCIDE WITH
TIDE CYCLE THEN A RISK OF MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE
ALONG WITH BEACH EROSION. STILL LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY ON EXACT STORM
TRACK WHICH WILL BE CRITICAL TO FLOODING FORECAST. STAY TUNED!
