AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1015 PM EST WED JAN 2 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
MAINLY DRY AND COLD WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...OTHER THAN THE CHANCE OF A FEW SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES
EARLY ON SUN. TEMPERATURES SHOULD THEN MODERATE TO ABOVE NORMAL
LEVELS BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. DRY WEATHER SHOULD PREVAIL
WITH NO SIGNIFICANT STORMS IN SIGHT FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
1000 PM UPDATE...

A BAND OF HIGH CLOUDS CONTINUES TO LINGER OVER THE SOUTH COAST.
LOWER CLOUDS HAVE DEVELOPED NEAR OUTER CAPE COD IN THE NORTHWEST
FLOW AND STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION. THESE CLOUDS SHOULD LINGER
MOST OF THE NIGHT UNTIL THE WINDS DIMINISH.

OTHERWISE...JUST MINOR TWEAKS TO BRING THE FORECAST BACK IN LINE
WITH OBSERVED TRENDS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

JUST SOME HIGH CLOUDS WERE LINGERING CLOSE TO THE SOUTH COAST
EARLY THIS EVENING. THESE CLOUDS COULD LINGER INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS...BUT THE REST OF THE REGION SHOULD SEE MAINLY CLEAR SKIES.

DIMINISHING WIND/DRY AIRMASS ALONG WITH A PUSH OF SHALLOW COLD AIR
WILL SET THE STAGE FOR BITTERLY COLD TEMPERATURES. MIN TEMPS
WILL DROP BELOW ZERO IN THE INTERIOR...ESPECIALLY N OF THE PIKE AND
WEST OF I495 WITH READINGS POSSIBLY BELOW -10F IN COLDER VALLEYS OF
NW MA AND SW NH. MINS MOSTLY IN THE SINGLE NUMBERS S OF THE
PIKE...EXCEPT LOWER TEENS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE S COAST AND
CAPE/ISLANDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
THURSDAY...
SFC HIGH MOVES INTO SNE WHICH WILL BRING MOSUNNY SKIES...BUT
CLOUDS WILL RETURN BY LATE IN THE DAY AS NEXT SHORTWAVE
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST WITH AREA OF MID LEVEL MOISTURE MOVING
IN. DESPITE THE SUNSHINE FOR MOST OF THE DAY...IT WILL BE A COLD
DAY WITH MAXES RANGING FROM UPPER TEENS TO MID 20S BUT WINDS WILL
NOT BE MUCH OF AN ISSUE.

THURSDAY NIGHT...
FAST MOVING SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH IN THE EVENING. A FEW FLURRIES
ARE POSSIBLE IN THE BERKSHIRES AND MODELS ARE ALSO HINTING AT A
FEW SNOW SHOWERS ON THE CAPE...BUT AIRMASS IS EXTREMELY DRY SO NOT
MUCH IS EXPECTED. MODERATING LOW LEVEL TEMPS AND CLOUD COVER
WILL RESULT IN A MILDER NIGHT THAN TONIGHT WITH MIN TEMPS MOSTLY
IN THE TEENS.

&&

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

* SEASONABLY COLD WEATHER CONTINUES THROUGH THE WEEKEND
* A BRIEF PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES POSS EARLY SUNDAY
* TEMPS MODERATE TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK
* VERY DRY PATTERN WITH NO SIGNIFICANT STORMS IN SIGHT

DETAILS...

WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WITH LITTLE DOWN STREAM RIDGING WILL
CONTINUE TO RESULT IN MAINLY DRY WEATHER THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK.  THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT STORMS IN SIGHT.  A BRIEF PERIOD OF
LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES IS POSSIBLE EARLY SUN IN ASSOCIATION
WITH THE NEXT SHORTWAVE/COLD FRONT.  CAN/T SEE MUCH MORE THAN THAT
THOUGH AS SYSTEM IS FAIRLY PROGRESSIVE AND WILL BE MOISTURE STARVED.
THERE IS A STRONGER SHORTWAVE THAT FOLLOWS SUN NIGHT/MON AND WILL
TRIGGER LOW PRESSURE OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST.  HOWEVER...EXPECT
THE LOW TO MOVE EAST AND OUT TO SEA AS FLOW DOES NOT LOOK AMPLIFIED
ENOUGH TO THREATEN OUR REGION.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...EXPECT SEASONABLY COLD WEATHER THROUGH THE
WEEKEND WITH THE HELP OF A FEW COLD FRONTAL PASSAGES.  THE LATEST
GFS/ECMWF AND THEIR ENSEMBLES CONTINUE TO SHOW THE FLOW ALOFT
TURNING MORE ZONAL BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.  THIS SHOULD ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO MODERATE TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS.  HOW MUCH ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPS REACH REMAINS UNCERTAIN...BUT NO SIGNIFICANT
STORMS/PRECIPITATION ARE IN SIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
OVERVIEW...HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD.  AREA OF
MOISTURE MOVING IN FROM THE WEST WILL LEAD TO MORE SC/AC LATER THU
AND THU NIGHT.

KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

KBDL TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

HIGH CONFIDENCE IN MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS.  A PERIOD OF MVFR
CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE EARLY ON SUNDAY IN A FEW SNOW
SHOWERS/FLURRIES.  WESTERLY WINDS WILL BE GUSTY ON FRIDAY WITH GUSTS
UP TO 25 KNOTS POSSIBLE.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH CONFIDENCE THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.

KEPT SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES GOING FOR TONIGHT AS A PULSE OF
G25-30 KT EXPECTED IN CAA BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. STRONGEST WINDS
WILL BE ACROSS EASTERN MA COASTAL WATERS DURING THE FIRST HALF OF
TONIGHT...THEN WINDS WILL DIMINISH AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH GENERALLY
LIGHT WINDS 15 KT OR LESS DURING THURSDAY INTO THU EVENING.
WESTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE AGAIN LATE THU NIGHT AS PRESSURE
GRADIENT INCREASES.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.

DECENT WESTERLY FLOW OFF THE DECK AND COLD ADVECTION SHOULD YIELD AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF SCA WIND GUSTS FRI INTO SAT.  IN FACT...MAY SEE A
PERIOD OF MARGINAL GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS FRI NIGHT INTO EARLY SAT.
WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH FOR A TIME LATE SAT INTO EARLY SUN...BUT
ANOTHER COLD FRONT SHOULD RESULT IN SCA WIND GUSTS RE-DEVELOPING
LATE SUN INTO MON.
