AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
336 PM EDT MON MAR 25 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRES WILL PASS WELL TO THE SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET TONIGHT...
GRAZING SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW ALONG THE
SOUTH COAST ALONG WITH STRONG GUSTY WINDS IS POSSIBLE. UPPER LOW
BACKING TO THE WEST WILL BRING CLOUDS AND SCATTERED RAIN/SNOW
SHOWERS LATE WED AND THU. THE REST OF THE WEEK SHOULD BE DRY
WITH TEMPS CLOSE TO OR A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
345 PM UPDATE...LATEST MSAS ANALYSIS HAS LOW PRESSURE EAST OF NEW
JERSEY. SNOW HAS MADE IT ONTO LONG ISLAND. THIS LINES UP WITH
SOME OF THE HIGHER REFLECTIVITY ECHOES ON THE RADAR MOSAIC. STILL
HAVE HIGH DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THIS
COUPLED WITH A LACK OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WILL SLOW DOWN THE
PRECIPITATION INTO OUR AREA. AT THIS POINT...NOT EXPECTING PRECIP
TO GET INTO CWA UNTIL LATE THIS AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...THE 12Z MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO LOW
PRESSURE MOVING UP THE EAST COAST WILL PASS WELL SOUTH OF SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND.  THE NAM IS STILL A SOMEWHAT STRONGER OUTLIER...BUT FOR
THE MOST PART IT IS FAIRLY WELL WITHIN THE RANGE OF SOLUTIONS. HAVE
USED A BLEND THAT FAVORS THE GFS AND ECMWF. THIS WILL SPREAD FIRST A
MIX OF RAIN/SNOW AND THEN SNOW OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA
THIS EVENING.  THE MOST LIKELY REGION TO GET MEASURABLE PRECIP IS
ALONG THE SOUTH COAST OF RHODE ISLAND AND MASSACHUSETTS...AS WELL AS
THE ISLANDS.  MODELS INDICATE PRECIP WILL LAST TILL A LITTLE AFTER
MIDNIGHT BEFORE COMING TO AN END.  TEMPERATURES ARE SOMEWHAT
MARGINAL...MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE MUCH IF ANY ACCUMULATIONS EVEN
CLOSER TO THE LOW.  SO DESPITE MODEL QPF OF UP TO A QUARTER OF AN
INCH...NOT EXPECTING MORE THAN ABOUT AN INCH OF SNOW TO STICK.  THE
ONE EXCEPTION COULD BE ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN PLYMOUTH COUNTY AND THE
CAPE...WHERE SOME OCEAN ENHANCEMENT COULD OCCUR...RESULTING IN
HIGHER SNOW AMOUNTS /UP TO 2 INCHES/.

WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY AS THE SURFACE LOW DEEPENS OVERNIGHT. LOW
LEVEL JET OF 30 TO 40 KT WILL ALLOW FOR GUSTS AT THE SURFACE TO BE
30 TO 40 MPH.  COULD SEE SOME STRONGER WINDS OVER NANTUCKET /CLOSER
TO THE CORE OF THE JET AS WELL AS THE LOW/ SO HAVE KEPT THE WIND
ADVISORY UP FOR GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
MID LEVEL LOW REMAINS OVER THE MARITIMES AND MAINE THROUGH TUESDAY.
THIS PUTS US INTO A DRIER NORTHWESTERLY FLOW.  EXPECT QUIET BUT
BREEZY WEATHER WITH EXCELLENT MIXING.  MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WILL ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB INTO THE MID 40S MOST LOCATIONS /VERY CLOSE TO
NORMAL/. USED A BLEND OF MOS FOR TEMPERATURES AND WINDS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
BIG PICTURE... BUILDING HEIGHTS OVER THE WESTERN USA WITH CLOSED
CYCLONIC CIRCULATION OVER THE MARITIMES AND NORTHEAST USA.  A PIECE
OF THE CLOSED CIRCULATION BREAKS OFF AND MOVES WEST TO BECOME PARKED
OVER NEW ENGLAND WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY...THEN SHIFTS EAST AGAIN
FRIDAY.

MAIN UPPER JET REMAINS SUPPRESSED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN USA MUCH OF
THE PERIOD.  TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD A NORTHERN BRANCH OF THE
UPPER JET MAKES LANDFALL IN WESTERN CANADA AND SPREADS INTO THE
NORTHERN PLAINS.  BUT NEW ENGLAND REMAINS ON THE COLD SIDE OF THE
JETS THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. SO ANY MODERATION DURING THE NEXT
WEEK WOULD BE FROM SEASONABLY COOL TO SEASONABLE.

MODEL PREFERENCES... GOOD AGREEMENT AMONG THE LONG RANGE MODELS FOR
MOST OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD.  WE USED A BLEND OF GFS/ECMWF DATA
INCLUDING HPC GRIDS WHERE AVAILABLE.

THE DAILIES...

TUESDAY...STRONG NORTH WIND...25 KT GUST 30 KT...AND 13C AIR-WATER
TEMP DIFFERENCE.  THIS MAY GENERATE SOME OCEAN ENHANCEMENT ON THE
TAIL END OF THE EXITING PCPN.  NOTING THIS...WE SLOWED THE DEPARTURE
OF PCPN FROM CAPE COD BY A FEW HOURS BUT ENDED IT BEFORE NOON.
DRIER AIR MOVES IN AND SHOULD BRING DECREASING SKY COVER.  COLD
ADVECTION AND SOLAR SURFACE HEATING WILL DESTABILIZE THE AIRMASS A
LITTLE...MIXING DEPTHS SHOULD REACH NEAR 850 MB WITH WINDS AROUND 15
KNOTS. MIXING TEMPS ALOFT -6C TO -7C...WHICH WOULD SUPPORT SFC
MAX TEMPS MID TO UPPER 40S.

WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY... UPPER SHORTWAVE MOVING WEST FROM MARITIME LOW
WILL SWING OVER NEW ENGLAND.  THIS WILL BRING INCREASING CLOUD LEVEL
MOISTURE AND THE COLD POOL WILL MAINTAIN AIRMASS INSTABILITY.
EXPECT INCREASING CLOUDS DURING THIS PERIOD ALONG WITH SCATTERED TO
WIDELY SCATTERED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS...PRIMARILY SNOW SHOWERS AT
NIGHT AND RAIN SHOWERS DURING THE DAY.  STRONGER WINDS MOVE INTO THE
UPPER PART OF THE MIXED COLUMN WEDNESDAY AND GUST TO THE
SURFACE...THESE WINDS SHOULD BE AROUND 25 KNOTS.  LIGHTER WINDS
THURSDAY WITH THE CORE OF THE UPPER LOW OVERHEAD.

FRIDAY-SATURDAY...UPPER LOW MOVES OFF TO THE EAST.  HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS OVER THE REGION.  EXPECT MORE SUN EACH DAY WITH MIXING DEPTHS
TO AT LEAST 850 MB.  TEMPS ALOFT WILL MODERATE TO -3C TO -5C...SO
MAX TEMPS AROUND 50 OR IN THE LOWER 50S ARE POSSIBLE.

SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST OF THE REGION.  STILL A DRY DAY
WITH MODERATING TEMPS ALOFT.  ECMWF AND GFS SIMILAR IN SHOWING A
COLD FRONT IN THE GREAT LAKES.  INCREASING LIFT POSSIBLE IN ADVANCE
OF THE FRONT AND WE HAVE INDICATED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS EAST AND
CHANCE POPS WEST SUNDAY NIGHT...BUT LOW CONFIDENCE ON TIMING.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
  MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

OVERVIEW...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

THROUGH 00Z...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. MOSTLY VFR. COULD SEE A
DECLINE ALONG THE SOUTH COAST...CAPE...AND ISLANDS TO MVFR
CONDITIONS AS WE APPROACH 00Z. NE WINDS GUST TO 25 KTS. HIGHER
GUSTS ALONG SOUTH COAST.

TONIGHT...MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS LIKELY SOUTH OF A IJD-PVD-PYM LINE
IN SNOW SHOWERS. NE WINDS CONTINUE TO GUST OVERNIGHT IN SAME AREA.
SOME IMPROVEMENT AFTER 06Z AS SHOWERS EXIT THE AREA.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.  VFR.

KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF TRENDS. MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN

WEDNESDAY NIGHT-THURSDAY...GENERALLY VFR.  POTENTIAL FOR MVFR IN
SCATTERED SHOWERS. MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

FRIDAY...VFR.  MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

&&

.MARINE...
MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.

WINDS AND SEAS INCREASE AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES SOUTH OF THE COASTAL
WATERS.  NORTHEASTERLY GALES EXPECTED ON THE OUTER WATERS.  SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE IN EFFECT FOR ALL THE OTHER WATERS.  SEAS BUILD
TO 6 TO 8 FEET ON THE SOUTHERN WATERS AND 8 TO 10 FEET ON THE
EASTERN WATERS.  WINDS SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST AND DIMINISH ALONG
WITH SEAS ON TUESDAY AS LOW PRESSURE PULLS AWAY FROM SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

WEDNESDAY...WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD BE BELOW SMALL CRAFT THRESHOLDS
MOST LOCATIONS. BUT POTENTIAL FOR 5 FOOT SEAS LINGERING ON THE
OUTER WATERS...AND POTENTIAL FOR 25 KNOT NORTHWEST GUSTS SOUTH OF
NEW ENGLAND. MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

THURSDAY...NORTH WINDS WITH GUSTS 25 TO 30 KNOTS.  SEAS BUILD TO 5-7
FEET ON THE OUTER WATERS.  A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED.
MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

FRIDAY...WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD BE LESS THAN SMALL CRAFT THRESHOLDS.
MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
