AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
329 PM EST TUE JAN 8 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
DRY AND MILD WEATHER IS EXPECTED PRIOR TO A WEAK DRY COLD FRONT
SLIDING ACROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...BRINGING
A BRIEF PERIOD OF COOLER WEATHER. WARMER AIR MOVES BACK IN LATE
WEEK CAUSING WET WEATHER FRIDAY AND POSSIBLY SOME ICING...FOLLOWED
BY MILD WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
SW WINDS ARE DIMINISHING AT 20Z AS THE SUN NEARS THE WESTERN
HORIZON AS WELL AS THE LOW LEVEL JET MOVES E THROUGH EARLY
TONIGHT. OTHERWISE...AREA OF THIN CIRRUS COVERS MOST AREAS AT 20Z
AS HIGH PRES RIDGE TO THE S OF NEW ENGLAND SLOWLY MOVES E.

A BROAD UPPER RIDGE WILL CROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT IN THE FAST
NORTHERN STREAM FLOW ALOFT TONIGHT. SO...OTHER THAN THE CIRRUS
CLOUDS WHICH WILL LINGER ACROSS THE NORTHEAST...EXPECT OVERNIGHT
LOWS TO DROP TO AROUND 20 ACROSS SW NH TO THE MID 30S ON THE OUTER
CAPE AND ISLANDS...WHICH WILL BE MUCH WARMER THAN MONDAY NIGHT AND
WILL RUN UP TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
WEDNESDAY...
UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE DIGS AS IT MOVES OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES IN
THE FAST UPPER LEVEL NORTHERN STREAM FLOW...WITH A WEAK SURFACE
COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. EXPECT MID CLOUDS TO INCREASE
DURING THE DAY. HOWEVER...NOT A LOT OF MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS FEATURE SO HAVE KEPT LOW POPS GOING. AS TROUGH APPROACHES
DURING THE AFTERNOON...WILL NOTICE INCREASE IN SW WINDS WITH SOME
HIGHER GUSTS POSSIBLE ALONG THE S COAST...CAPE COD AND THE
ISLANDS. EXPECT HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 40S...THOUGH A FEW SPOTS MAY
TOUCH 50.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT...
EXPECT WEAK FRONT TO QUICKLY CROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT WITH
LITTLE IF ANY PRECIP. MIGHT SEE A SPOT SHOWER OR TWO AS THE FRONT
PASSES...OTHERWISE NO REAL ORGANIZED PRECIP WITH THIS FEATURE.  FRONT
SHOULD BE OFFSHORE AFTER MIDNIGHT. DECENT COLD AIR ADVECTION
BEHIND THIS SYSTEM...SO W WINDS WILL REMAIN SOMEWHAT GUSTY MAINLY
OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE BERKSHIRES AND WORCESTER HILLS. MAY
ALSO SEE SOME GUSTS ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS. TEMPS WILL
ONLY FALL BACK TO THE MID 20S TO MID 30S.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
BIG PICTURE...
LINGERING COLD AIR BEHIND THE COLD FRONT MIDWEEK...BUT ONLY
BRIEFLY.  AN UPPER TROUGH DIGS OVER THE WESTERN USA WHILE HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS ALONG THE EAST COAST. THIS WILL BRING A TREND TO
MILDER TEMPS BY THE WEEKEND. THE RIDGE SHIFTS OFFSHORE SUNDAY OR
MONDAY ALLOWING TEMPS TO TREND COOLER EARLY NEXT WEEK.

TWO DISTURBANCES MOVE THROUGH THE FLOW DURING THE LONG TERM. ONE
GENERATES SURFACE LOW PRESSURE THAT MOVES THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES
FRIDAY-SATURDAY AND PULLS WARM AIR INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THE
SECOND DISTURBANCE PUSHES A COLD FRONT THROUGH NEW ENGLAND MONDAY.

DAILIES...
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...SURFACE LOW PRESSURE MOVES OFF THROUGH THE
MARITIMES. A 170-KNOT JET ALOFT PROVIDES SOME DYNAMICS WHILE A
COLD POOL ALOFT ALSO MOVES OVERHEAD. BUT PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
ARE RATHER LOW...AROUND 1/4 INCH...SO CHANCE OF PCPN IS RATHER
SMALL. WILL GO WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES FOR A FEW HOURS...THEN
CLEARING BY MORNING.  TEMPS ARE A BLEND OF MOS VALUES.

THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION. EXPECT DRY
WEATHER. SUFFICIENT MIXING TO PULL DOWN 25 KNOT WIND GUSTS.
EQUIVALENT MIXING TEMPS WILL BE -8C TO -11C...SO MAX TEMPS
EXPECTED IN THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S. THE HIGH LINGERS FOR MUCH OF
THURSDAY NIGHT AND BRINGS CLEAR SKIES/LIGHT WIND THROUGH AT LEAST
THE FIRST PART OF THE NIGHT. THIS SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS TO FALL TO
NEAR DEWPOINT ESPECIALLY INLAND...SO FORECAST MIN TEMPS IN THE
20S.

FRIDAY...
SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH THE MIDWEST AND ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES.
THIS BRINGS STRONG MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW UP THE TRAILING SIDE OF
HIGH PRESSURE. THIS WILL OVERRUN THE COOLER AIR OVER NEW
ENGLAND...BRINGING CLOUDS AND A CHANCE OF PCPN.

THE GFS IS ABOUT 6 HOURS FASTER THAN THE ECMWF IN MOVING THE
SYSTEM AND BRINGING THE PCPN TO NEW ENGLAND. WITH THE BUILDING
HIGH PRESSURE AND AMPLITUDE ALONG THE COAST...TEND TO FAVOR THE
SLOWER ECMWF TIMING. THE FASTER TIMING COULD BRING SHOWERS INTO
THE REGION BEFORE THE COLD AIR HAS A CHANCE TO LEAVE...ESPECIALLY
IN CONNECTICUT VALLEY/SOUTHWEST NH. THIS TIMING WILL NEED TO BE
WATCHED. FOR NOW WE ARE MENTIONING A CHANCE OF FREEZING
RAIN IN THE WESTERN/NORTHERN AREAS...BUT WITH LOW CONFIDENCE.
EXPECT TEMPS TO WARM DURING THE DAY...AND SO PCPN SHOULD BE
RAIN/SHOWERS BY MIDDAY/AFTERNOON.

SATURDAY-SUNDAY-MONDAY... THE LIFT GENERATED BY THE INCOMING WARM
AIR MOVES NORTH OF US BY SATURDAY MORNING...WITH THE BEST CHANCE
OF SHOWERS MOVING NORTH AS WELL. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE IN CONTROL
AND BRING GENERALLY DRY WEATHER. AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT MAY
TRIGGER A FEW SHOWERS SUNDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. TEMPS ALOFT WILL
BE ANOMALOUSLY HIGH WITH 8C AT 925 MB SATURDAY AND 10-12C ON
SUNDAY. STRICT MIXING OF THESE VALUES WOULD BRING MAX TEMPS TO
AROUND 60F ON SATURDAY AND MID 60S ON SUNDAY. FOR NOW WE ARE
STICKING CLOSER TO HPC VALUES WITH TEMPS IN THE UPPER 40S TO MID
50S.

SECOND SHORTWAVE PULLS THE COLD FRONT THROUGH NEW ENGLAND MONDAY
MORNING. TIMING DIFFERENCES CONTINUE BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF.
WE AGAIN FOLLOWED THE ECMWF.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SHORT TERM...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS. GUSTY SW
WINDS WILL DIMINISH BY EARLY TONIGHT...THEN SHIFT TO W AND PICK
UP AGAIN LATER WED INTO WED NIGHT AS WEAK COLD FRONT APPROACHES.
LOW PROB OF BRIEF MVFR CIGS ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN AREAS WED
NIGHT AND FRONT QUICKLY CROSSES THE REGION.

KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

KBDL TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

THU...HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR. NORTHWEST WINDS GUST TO 20-25
KNOTS DURING THE MIDDAY/AFTERNOON.

FRI INTO FRI NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
INCREASING AND LOWERING CLOUDS WITH MVFR AND OCCASIONAL IFR
IN THE AFTERNOON AND AT NIGHT AS RAIN OVERSPREADS THE REGION.
THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY OF LIGHT ICE FROM FREEZING RAIN IF
THE PRECIP STARTS AS EARLY AS FRI MORNING.

SAT...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.
VFR.  HIGH PRESSURE.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

TONIGHT...EXPECT SW WINDS TO DIMINISH EARLY THIS EVENING. HAVE
TAKEN DOWN SMALL CRAFTS ON NARRAGANSETT AND CC BAYS AS WELL AS BOS
HARBOR...AND EXPECT THE REMAINING SMALL CRAFTS TO LOWER THIS
EVENING. SEAS MAY TAKE A BIT LONGER TO SUBSIDE ESPECIALLY ON THE
EASTERN OUTER WATERS...BUT SHOULD DO SO BY AROUND MIDNIGHT OR SO.

WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...SW WINDS WILL PICK UP WED
AFTERNOON...THEN FAST MOVING WEAK COLD FRONT CROSSES THE WATERS
AROUND OR AFTER MIDNIGHT WED NIGHT. LOW LEVEL JET AND DECENT
COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL ALLOW TO W WINDS TO APPROACH GALE CRITERIA
MAINLY OVER THE OUTER WATERS. HAVE ISSUED GALE WATCH FOR THIS.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

THU-THU NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. DIMINISHING WINDS AND SEAS
THURSDAY NIGHT.

FRI AND SAT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
A WARM FRONT WILL BRING SHOWERS TO THE WATERS FRIDAY AND FRIDAY
NIGHT. WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT THRESHOLDS
THROUGH SATURDAY.
