Area forecast discussion, Mar 22, 4:24 AM EDT, 3 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
424 AM EDT FRI MAR 22 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE CAPE WILL MOVE OFFSHORE BY THE
MORNING HOURS. OTHERWISE...MAINLY DRY BUT CHILLY WEATHER FOR LATE
MARCH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF NEXT WEEK. WILL HAVE TO KEEP A
CLOSE EYE ON A MID ATLANTIC STORM FOR SUN NIGHT/MON. ODDS FAVOR
THE BULK OF THE STORM PASSING TO OUR SOUTH...BUT STILL A LOW
PROBABILITY IT TRENDS NORTH AND BRINGS MORE SNOW TO THE REGION.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
400 AM UPDATE...
MESO-SCALE BANDING IS SLOWLY LIFTING OUT OF SNE EARLY THIS MORNING.
HAVE KEPT THE CAPE AND PLYMOUTH COUNTIES IN THEIR RESPECT HAZARDS AS
IT IS STILL SNOWING RIGHT ALONG THE SHORE. EXPECT THE ADV/WARNING TO
EXPIRE WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO. OTHERWISE HAVE CLEANED UP THE
FORECAST TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT TRENDS.
TODAY...
EXPECT LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE CAPE/ISLANDS IN
THE MORNING BEFORE FIZZLING OUT BY MID-MORNING. SNOW SHOWERS WILL
STILL BE CONVECTIVE IN NATURE AS LAPSE RATES ARE AROUND 6 TO 7 C/KM
AND TOTAL TOTALS STILL ABOVE 45. ALOFT...UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
AXIS WILL BE OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AS UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL
RETROGRADE BACK INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THIS WILL INCREASE
MOISTURE AND LIFT ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
EXPECT MAINLY FLURRIES OR ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS THROUGH THE LATER
AFTERNOON HOURS. AGAIN THESE SHOWERS WILL BE CONVECTIVE IN NATURE AS
TOTAL ARE ABOVE 50. TEMPS WILL SLOWLY WARM UP TO THE MID 30S
TO LOW 40S...YET STILL BELOW AVERAGE. WINDS WILL PICK UP AS LAPSE
RATES STEEPEN THROUGH THE DAY...EXPECT GUSTS AROUND 25 TO 30 MPH.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SATURDAY/...
TONIGHT...
UPPER LEVEL LOW CONTINUES TO SPIN ALOFT ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND
KEEPING THE NW FLOW FOR THE REGION. SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
REGION...WITH SUBSTANCE BEHIND IT. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR DRY WX
OVERNIGHT AND CLEARING SKIES FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. PRESSURE GRADIENT
WILL TIGHTEN OVERNIGHT KEEPING THE GUSTY WINDS. THIS WILL LIMIT THE
AMOUNT OF RADIATIONAL COOLING...THEREFORE EXPECT TEMPS IN THE LOW
TO MID 20S.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...
* UNSEASONABLY CHILLY WEATHER THROUGH NEXT WEEK
* NEED TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON A MID ATLANTIC STORM SUN NIGHT/MON
DETAILS...
THE OVERALL PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TO FEATURE A NEGATIVE AO/NAO WELL
INTO NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL RESULT IN LOWER THAN AVERAGE HEIGHT
FIELDS AND IN TURN BELOW NORMAL TEMPS IN OUR REGION. MUCH OF THE
PERIOD WILL FEATURE DRY NORTHWEST FLOW...SO THE STRONG MARCH SUN
SHOULD STILL BE ENOUGH TO PUSH HIGHS INTO THE UPPER 30S TO MIDDLE
40S MUCH OF THE TIME. THE LATEST MEX GUIDANCE APPEARS TOO MILD
THOUGH AS IT OFTEN TRENDS MORE TOWARDS CLIMATOLOGY IN THE LATER PERIODS.
THE MAIN THING TO WATCH IS THE TRACK OF A MID ATLANTIC STORM SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY. MOST OF THE GUIDANCE HAS BEEN IN GOOD AGREEMENT
THAT THE MAIN AFFECTS FROM THIS STORM WILL PASS SOUTH OF OUR REGION.
THIS A RESULT OF VERY STRONG HIGH LATITUDE BLOCKING AND THE CLOSED
UPPER LEVEL LOW NEAR THE CANADIAN MARITIMES. HOWEVER...THIS STORM IS
STILL ABOUT 4 DAYS AWAY AND IT WOULDN/T TAKE MUCH OF A NORTHWARD
ADJUSTMENT TO GET US INTO AT LEAST SOME OF THE PRECIPITATION SHIELD.
IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR...MOST OF THE REGION WOULD BE COLD ENOUGH FOR
A SNOW EVENT. SO WHILE ODDS CURRENTLY FAVOR MORE OF A MISS/GLANCING
BLOW TO THE SOUTH...THERE REMAINS A LOW PROBABILITY FOR ACCUMULATING
SNOW SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. LOW POPS WERE INCLUDED IN THE
FORECAST TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS POSSIBILITY.
&&
.AVIATION /08Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.
OVERVIEW...MODERATE CONFIDENCE EARLY THIS MORNING AND HIGH
CONFIDENCE AFTERWARDS.
IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS WITHIN HEAVY SNOW BANDS EAST OF KPLY-MVY LINE
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. EXPECT IMPROVING CONDITIONS BY THE MID-
MORNING HOURS FOR THOSE SITES. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST
ELSEWHERE THROUGH TONIGHT. DIURNAL CU WILL DEVELOP TODAY AS NW
WINDS MAY GUST TO 20-25 KTS BY THE AFTERNOON...LASTING THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS.
KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.
KBDL TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.
OUTLOOK...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS.
NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS OF 25 TO 35 KNOTS EXPECTING DURING THE DAY
SAT...BUT MUCH LESS WIND ON SUN.
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE. MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS IN
SNOW WOULD OCCUR ONLY IF STORM ENDS UP TRACKING FURTHER NORTH THAN
CURRENT MODELS INDICATE.
TUESDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS.
&&
.MARINE...
MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE THROUGH TONIGHT.
HAVE ADJUSTED SCA TO ACCOUNT FOR LATEST FORECAST DATA. SCA IS
STILL IN EFFECT FOR THE OUTER WATERS...JUST PUSHED BACK TIMING FOR
THE EASTERN OUTER WATERS. GUSTS WINDS WILL INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE
DAY AS PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS. OVERNIGHT...NW WINDS WILL
STEEPEN LAPSE RATES AND KEEP THE GUSTY WINDS LASTING THROUGH
EARLY SAT MORNING. SEAS WILL INCREASE IN RESPONSE AND THEREFORE
HAVE EXPANDED THE ADV FOR THE INNER WATERS AS WELL. LOW CONFIDENCE
ON TIMING FOR BOSTON HARBOR AND NARRAGANSETT BAY...BUT EXPECT
THEM TO BE ISSUED A SCA FOR LATE TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING.
OUTLOOK...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN STRONG SCA WIND
GUSTS FROM THE NORTHWEST IN THE COLD AIR ADVECTION PATTERN. LOW
PROBABILITY FOR A PERIOD OF MARGINAL GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS.
SUNDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. WINDS AND SEAS
SUBSIDING...BUT LINGERING SCA LIKELY NEEDED FOR AT LEAST THE MORNING.
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. SHOULD SEE AT LEAST
SCA NORTHEAST WIND GUSTS DEVELOP LATE SUN NIGHT/MON AS LOW PRESSURE
PASSES SOUTH OF THE WATERS. THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY FOR A PERIOD
OF GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS IF THE STORM TRACK ENDS UP FURTHER NORTH
THAN CURRENT MODELS INDICATE.
TUESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. MARGINAL NORTHWEST SCA WIND GUSTS OF
20 TO 25 KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE COLD AIR ADVECTION PATTERN BEHIND
THE DEPARTING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM.
