AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
413 AM EST MON FEB 4 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
BLUSTERY AND COLD TODAY WITH WINDS DIMINISHING TUESDAY. A PERIOD
OF LIGHT SNOW OR FLURRIES IS POSSIBLE LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY AS WEAK LOW PRESSURE TRACKS ACROSS THE REGION. DRY
WEATHER BRIEFLY RETURNS THU ALONG WITH SEASONABLY COLD
TEMPERATURES. A COASTAL STORM IS POSSIBLE LATE IN THE WEEK WITH
RAIN AND/OR SNOW AFFECTING THE REGION. DRY WEATHER SHOULD FOLLOW
FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
145 AM UPDATE...
AREA OF SNOW THAT DEPOSITED UP TO 2 INCHES IN A FEW LOCATIONS
SHIFTING E AT 06Z...WITH BACK EDGE OF PRECIP JUST ABOUT AT THE
CAPE COD CANAL. EXPECT PRECIP TO MOVE OFFSHORE...WITH SNOW ENDING
ACROSS THE CAPE AND ISLANDS BY 09Z. N-NW WINDS ARE GUSTING AROUND
25-30 KT ACROSS THE CAPE AND ISLANDS AS THE OCEAN LOW CONTINUES TO
DEEPEN RAPIDLY. FURTHER INLAND...WINDS ARE LIGHT/VRBL OR CALM AT
06Z...WHICH HAS ALLOWED TEMPS IN AREAS THAT HAVE CLEARED TO DROP
QUICKLY. NOTED A TEMP OF 12 DEGREES AT KCEF.

NOTING MORE LIGHT SNOW ACROSS THE HUDSON VALLEY ON NE REGIONAL 88D
RADAR...BUT HAS WEAKENING AS IT SHIFTS E. MAY SEE A FEW SNOW
SHOWERS WORK OVER THE BERKSHIRES INTO THE CT VALLEY THROUGH 09Z-
10Z...BUT AIRMASS E OF THE BERKS HAS BEEN DRYING OUT WITH DEWPTS
AROUND 10 DEGREES SO DO NOT THINK MUCH WILL REACH THE GROUND.

TEMPS CONTINUE TO RUN A FEW DEGS WARMER THAN GUIDANCE ACROSS
CENTRAL AND EASTERN AREAS...WHILE VARYING WIDELY WITH CALM
CONDITIONS AND RADIATIONAL COOLING TAKING PLACE IN A FEW
LOCATIONS. DEWPTS RUNNING SEVERAL DEGREES LOWER THAN FORECAST.

HAVE UPDATED GRIDS TO REFLECT CURRENT CONDITIONS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
AREA OF SNOW OVER E MA/RI/NE CT STARTING TO SHIFT SE AND SHRINK
ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY. PRECIP ENDING AT KASH-KORH-KBED WITH
-SN CONTINUING IN THE BOSTON-PROVIDENCE CORRIDOR EASTWARD. STILL
LIGHT SNOW WITH UP TO AN INCH REPORTED FROM SEVERAL LOCATIONS
ACROSS E MA. COLDER CLOUD TOPS ALSO STARTING TO SHIFT E AS SEEN ON
IR SATELLITE. ANOTHER AREA OF LIGHT SNOW MOVING OUT OF CENTRAL NY
TOWARD THE HUDSON VALLEY OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

HAVE UPDATED POPS TO GO CATEGORICAL FOR A FEW HOURS ALONG E MA
COAST TO CAPE COD...THOUGH WILL CONTINUE TO BE RATHER LIGHT BUT
JUST ENOUGH TO MEASURE /LESS THAN AN INCH/. N-NW WINDS STARTING TO
PICK UP OVER CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET AS LOW PRES DEEPENS WELL
OFFSHORE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
MONDAY...
SHORTWAVE WILL CONTINUE ITS TRACK TOWARDS THE MARITIMES WITH A
GOOD AMOUNT OF SUBSIDENCE BEHIND. THIS WILL DRY OUT ANY LINGERING
PRECIP AND YIELD TO CLEARING SKIES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. STEEPENING
LAPSE RATES HOWEVER WILL ALLOW FOR GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS...UP TO
20- 30 MPH. TEMPS WILL BE WARMER THAN TODAY HOWEVER BECAUSE OF THE
STRONG WINDS...WIND CHILLS WONT GET OUT OF THE 20S.

&&

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

HIGHLIGHTS...

* SOME LIGHT SNOW OR FLURRIES POSSIBLE TUE NIGHT INTO WED
* COASTAL STORM POSSIBLE FRI...BUT LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY
* TEMPS AT OR SLIGHTLY COLDER THAN NORMAL MUCH OF THIS PERIOD

OVERVIEW...

00Z MODELS INCLUDING ENSEMBLES GEFS AND ECENS AGREE ON AN ACTIVE
NORTHERN STREAM THIS PERIOD. ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE GUID SUGGEST
STREAMS WILL REMAIN UNPHASED DURING THIS TIME AND SIGNIFICANT TROUGH
AMPLIFICATION OCCURS EAST OF NEW ENGLAND. THIS FAVORS MINOR QPF
EVENTS FOR THE REGION.

THIS HAS BEEN THE THEME FOR MUCH OF THIS WINTER WITH STREAMS
REMAINING UNPHASED OR TROUGH AMPLIFICATION OCCURRING EAST OF NEW
ENGLAND. THIS HAS RESULTED IN SOME BIG WINTER STORMS FOR THE
CANADIAN MARITIMES...BUT TOO LITTLE AND TOO LATE FOR SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. THE EXCEPTION WAS BACK IN DEC 29TH WHEN 6-12 INCHES OF SNOW
FELL ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST CT/RI AND CENTRAL-INTERIOR EASTERN
MA.

DAILY DETAILS...

TUE NIGHT INTO WED...

LOW AMPLITUDE NORTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA.
FORCING FOR ASCENT IS WEAK AND DEEP LAYER MOISTURE IS LACKING. THUS
VERY LIGHT QPF. HOWEVER TIMING OF PRECIP MAY COINCIDE WITH THE WED
AM COMMUTE. COLUMN COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SNOW...BUT AGAIN AMOUNTS
WILL BE VERY LIGHT.

THU...

SHOULD BE QUIET AS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND IS IN BETWEEN SYSTEMS
WITH ONE TROUGH EXITING EAST WED AND ANOTHER APPROACHING THU NGT-
FRI. TEMPS LOOK AT LEAST SEASONABLY COLD.

FRI...

00Z ECMWF REMAINS ON THE ONLY PIECE OF MODEL GUIDANCE THAT SIMULATES
PHASING OF STREAMS WITH SIGNIFICANT TROUGH AMPLIFICATION AT OUR
LONGITUDE. THIS YIELDS CYCLOGENESIS SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND FRI WITH
LOW TRACKING CLOSE TO NANTUCKET/CAPE COD LATE FRI/FRI NIGHT. IF THIS
TRACK VERIFIES WARMER AIR WOULD INVADE MOST OF THE REGION WITH SNOW
TO RAIN AND THEN BACK TO SNOW AS LOW PULLS AWAY.

REMAINDER OF THE GUIDANCE INCLUDING THE GEFS AND ECENS ENSEMBLES
DELAY PHASING/TROUGH AMPLIFICATION EAST OF NEW ENGLAND...RESULTING
IN LESS QPF AND IMPACT TO THE REGION. AT THIS TIME RANGE ITS PRUDENT
NOT TO CHASE ONE INDIVIDUAL DETERMINISTIC MODEL. HOWEVER THIS IS THE
4TH MODEL CYCLE OF THE ECMWF SIMULATING A BIG QPF EVENT FOR THE
AREA. THE ECMWF MAY BE ONTO SOMETHING AS THE ARCTIC OSCILLATION
SUGGEST A POSSIBLE REGIME CHANGE AS IT ABRUPTLY CHANGES FROM
POSITIVE TO NEGATIVE THIS WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS WOULD LEND
SUPPORT TO A SIGNIFICANT EVENT. DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO WATCH THIS
WEEK.

SAT AND SUN...

HIGH PRES BUILDS INTO THE REGION SO WILL HAVE DRY WEATHER
WITH MODERATING TEMPS SUN AS THE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
  MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

OVERVIEW...

THROUGH 12Z...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS ACROSS MOST AREAS. OVER CAPE COD AND THE
ISLANDS...MVFR TO BRIEF IFR CIGS/VSBYS IN LIGHT SNOW WHICH SHOULD
IMPROVE TO VFR BY 09Z-10Z.

TODAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
VFR CONDITIONS. LOCAL MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE DURING THE LATE
MORNING/AFTERNOON ACROSS THE HIGHER INLAND TERRAIN. GUSTY W-NW
WINDS UP TO 20-30 KT LIKELY...MAINLY OVER E MA/RI.

TONIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
