AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1100 AM EST SAT DEC 14 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A COASTAL STORM WILL BRING HEAVY SNOW AND A WINTRY MIX OF
PRECIPITATION TO THE REGION TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. THE
PRECIPITATION WILL CHANGE TO ALL RAIN LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY
MORNING ACROSS MUCH OF RHODE ISLAND AND SOUTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS.
THE STORM WILL ALSO BRING GUSTY WINDS TO THE COASTLINE. COLDER BUT
DRIER WEATHER OVERSPREADS THE REGION SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO MUCH
OF NEXT WEEK. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE AROUND TUESDAY WHEN THERE IS
RISK FOR SNOW SHOWERS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

11 AM UPDATE...

LIGHT SNOW HAS ALREADY OVERSPREAD NORTHERN CT THIS MORNING AS A
RESULT OF SOME MID LEVEL WARM ADVECTION.  ALSO...BEGINNING TO SEE
OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOP ACROSS THE CAPE AND INTO COASTAL
PLYMOUTH COUNTY MA.  THIS A RESULT OF VERY COLD NORTHERLY WINDS
BLOWING OVER THE RELATIVELY MILD OCEAN.

EXPECT LIGHT SNOW TO OVERSPREAD THE REST OF THE REGION FROM
SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST AS THE AFTERNOON WEARS ON.  ALSO...EXPECT
OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS TO INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE
ALONG THE EASTERN MA COAST...AS SURFACE WINDS TURN MORE
NORTHEASTERLY.  WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR SOME LOCALIZED AREAS THAT CAN
PICK UP AN INCH OR TWO OF VERY FLUFFY SNOW.

OVERALL...FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK WITH THE STRONG LIFT/FORCING
ARRIVING TONIGHT.  WE DID UPDATE THE SNOWFALL GRAPHICS/PROBABILITIES
TO SHOW MORE OF A SOUTH TO NORTH GRADIENT.

STILL LOOKS LIKE A VERY GOOD FRONT END THUMP WITH A PERIOD OF STRONG
OMEGA IN THE SNOWGROWTH REGION.  THE MAIN ISSUE IS THAT STRONG MID
LEVEL WARMING WILL BE ARRIVING FROM THE SOUTH AT THE TIME AS THE
HEAVY SNOW. THIS WILL BE CHANGING THE SNOW TO SLEET/FREEZING
RAIN IN THE INTERIOR AND PLAIN RAIN ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN AS LOW
PRESSURE TRACKS ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST MA.

HIGHEST CONFIDENCE IN 6 TO 12 INCHES IS NORTH OF THE MA
TURNPIKE...WITH BEST CHANCE OF A FOOT OF SNOW ACROSS SOUTHERN NH.
TO THE SOUTH OF MA TURNPIKE...THERE IS MORE UNCERTAINTY.  IT WILL BE
SNOWING AT 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR AT TIME OF THE CHANGE OVER...SO A
SMALL DIFFERENCE IN TIMING WILL MAKE FOR A BIG DIFFERENCE IN
ACCUMULATIONS.  STILL EXPECT 4 TO 8 INCHES OF SNOW
FOR NORTHERN CT/NORTHWEST RI...WITH 3 TO 6 INCHES ACROSS MUCH OF
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN RI AND SOUTHEAST MA.  LESS ON THE CAPE/ISLANDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
TONIGHT...ALL MODELS EXCEPT THE 00Z AND 06Z OP NAM RUNS WERE IN
VERY GOOD AGREEMENT IN BRINGING THE DEVELOPING LOW PRES OFF THE
MID ATLC COAST THEN PUSHING NE TOWARD THE OUTER CAPE AND NANTUCKET
DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS SUNDAY. E-NE WINDS WILL INCREASE
QUICKLY WITH A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPING AS WINDS AT H925
VEER TO S UP TO 50-60 KT. WITH THIS WIND MIXING DOWN AS THE LOW
APPROACHES... EXPECT MILDER AIR TO WORK INTO S COASTAL AREAS AND
EVEN FURTHER INLAND.

BIG QUESTION REMAINS...HOW QUICKLY THE COLD AIR WILL SCOUR OUT.
LOOKS LIKE IT WILL ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS AS WELL AS THE S
COAST...BUT MAY TAKE A BIT LONGER JUST INLAND ACROSS CENTRAL RI
INTO INTERIOR SE MA WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR A PERIOD OF SLEET AND
FREEZING RAIN TO DEVELOP. WILL SEE UP TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS
THOSE AREAS BEFORE THE MIX AND EVENTUAL CHANGEOVER...SO HAVE
ISSUED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY THERE. ALSO INCLUDED CAPE
COD...THOUGH MAINLY FOR THE LOWER CAPE WHERE THEY WILL LIKELY SEE
2 OR 3 INCHES OF SNOW BEFORE THE CHANGE OVER...AND THERE MIGHT
EVEN BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN. LITTLE IF ANY
WILL BE LEFT WITH PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL.

ACROSS AREAS JUST INLAND FROM THE COAST...EXPECTING THE MAJORITY
OF THE PRECIPITATION TO BE SNOW. HOWEVER...THERE MIGHT BE A BRIEF
MIX ACROSS CAPE ANN TO THE ROUTE 128/I-495 BELT TO JUST S OF
WORCESTER TOWARD DAYBREAK. AGAIN...THIS IS DEPENDENT UPON HOW MUCH
THE MILDER AIR WORKS IN OFF THE OCEAN. KEPT THESE AREAS AS WELL AS
FURTHER INLAND IN THE WINTER STORM WARNING.

FOR S NH INTO N CENTRAL AND W MA AND N CENTRAL CT...WILL BE ALL
SNOW. LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE QUITE A BIT...WITH QPF FROM 0.8
TO AROUND AN INCH MELTED...MOST OF IT FALLING OVERNIGHT. WITH THE
COLD TEMPS IN PLACE...EXPECT HIGH SNOW TO WATER RATIOS TO START
OFF. HOWEVER...TEMPS INLAND WILL ALSO SLOWLY RISE TONIGHT...BUT
WILL REMAIN BELOW FREEZING BUT THE SNOW/WATER RATIOS WILL LOWER
DURING THE NIGHT. EVEN WITH THIS...HAVE FORECASTED UP TO 8 TO AS
HIGH AS 14 INCHES...WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS ACROSS THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OF THE MONADNOCKS...THE NORTHERN WORCESTER HILLS AND THE E
SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES. THERE MAY BE PERIODS OF SNOWFALL RATES
OF 1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW PER HOUR FOR A FEW HOURS AS WELL.

HAVE UPDATED SNOW GRIDS TO REFLECT LATEST MODEL DATA AS WELL AS
THE CHANGING SNOW/WATER RATIOS AS TEMPS SLOWLY RISE
OVERNIGHT. STILL GOT THE HIGH SNOW AMOUNTS WELL INLAND...BUT A
RATHER SHARP LINE WHERE THE MIX AND CHANGEOVER OCCURS. WHERE ANY
FREEZING RAIN OCCURS...SHOULD BE SHORT LIVED WITH ICE ACCRETION
LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH.

HAVE UPDATED WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES FOR MOST OF THE REGION. KEPT
OUT OF THE ISLANDS AS TEMPS WILL RISE CLOSE TO OR ABOVE FREEZING
BY THE TIME THE PRECIP MOVES IN. GALE WARNINGS REMAIN IN EFFECT
FOR MOST OF THE COASTAL WATERS. COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN
EFFECT FOR E COASTAL AREAS INTO SUNDAY.

SUNDAY MORNING...LOW PRES WILL EXIT TO THE GULF OF MAINE BY
MIDDAY...SO WILL SEE PRECIP ENDING QUICKLY AS COLDER AIR WORKS IN
BEHIND THE LOW. WILL STILL SEE GUSTY WINDS ACROSS THE CAPE AND
ISLANDS EARLY...THEN WILL DIMINISH BY MID MORNING AS THE LOW
EXITS. HIGHS WILL OCCUR EARLY...RANGING FROM THE UPPER 20S TO
AROUND 30 ACROSS S NH/N CENTRAL AND W MA TO THE MID 40S ON CAPE
COD...THEN WILL START TO FALL BACK BY MIDDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* COLD TEMPS MOST OF NEXT WEEK THEN A POSSIBLE WARM UP LATE
* CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS TUE OTHERWISE MAINLY DRY WEATHER

WILL BE BRIEF HERE GIVEN THE ACTIVE/STORMY WEATHER OCCURRING LATER
TODAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY.

SUN AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY...DRY SLOT OVER THE REGION SUN AM
FOLLOWED BY COMMA HEAD PRECIP POSSIBLE CLIPPING NORTHWEST MA INTO
SOUTHWEST NH. OTHERWISE EXPECT A DRYING TREND ALONG WITH BLUSTERY
AND COLDER CONDITIONS. BOTH DETERMINISTIC AND ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE
DRIVE -16C AIR AT 850MB ACROSS THE REGION MON. THIS COMBINED WITH A
GUSTY NW WIND WILL PROVIDE COLD CONDITIONS.

TUESDAY...IMPRESSIVE NORTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE ENERGY MOVES ACROSS
THE AREA.  FORCING IS STRONG ENOUGH TO INDUCE A WEAK SURFACE
REFLECTION OVER THE AREA BUT CYCLOGENESIS IS DELAYED UNTIL THE
MARITIMES. ALTHOUGH GIVEN TROUGH AMPLITUDE AND MODEST MID LEVEL
MOISTURE SNOW SHOWERS APPEAR A GOOD BET...POSSIBLE MIXED RAIN/SNOW
SHOWERS ACROSS CAPE COD AND ISLANDS. ALL MODEL GUID SUGGEST A FEW
TENTHS OF QPF POSSIBLE. THUS MINOR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION.

WED/THU/FRI...

PATTERN CHANGE APPEARS IN THE WORKS AS COLD EASTERN TROUGH KICKS OUT
IN RESPONSE TO DEVELOPING WESTERN TROUGH. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN A
WARMING TREND LATE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING/...

HIGH CONFIDENCE INTO THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH CONFIDENCE LATE TODAY
THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING ON TRENDS...EXCEPT MODERATE CONFIDENCE ON
EXACT TIMING.

TODAY...VFR EARLY. MVFR CIGS MOVING INTO CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET AS
WINDS SHIFT TO NE DURING THE MORNING...THEN LOWER ACROSS N
CT/RI/SE MA DURING THE AFTERNOON. LOCAL IFR CIGS INTO THE S COAST
LATE. VSBYS LOWER TO IFR WITH LOCAL LIFR DURING THE AFTERNOON AS
-SN MOVES IN. POCKETS OF S/+SN LATE ACROSS E SLOPES OF THE
BERKSHIRES.

TONIGHT-SUNDAY MORNING...WIDESPREAD IFR-LIFR CONDITIONS WITH AREAS
OF SN/+SN ACROSS THE INTERIOR IN LOCALIZED HEAVY SNOW BANDS
TONIGHT. CONDITIONS IMPROVING ACROSS N CT/RI AFTER 10Z SUNDAY AS
DRY SLOT WORKS IN. MIXING WITH SLEET/FREEZING RAIN WITH EVENTUAL
CHANGE TO RAIN ALONG S AND E COASTS WITH INCREASING E-NE WINDS
LATE TONIGHT. GUSTS TO 35-40 KT POSSIBLE ON OUTER CAPE COD AND
NANTUCKET. MIX/CHANGE LINE COULD WORK FURTHER INLAND...TO ABOUT A
KBED-KIJD LINE BY 12Z SUNDAY...BUT EXACT LOCATION IS UNCERTAIN.

IMPROVING CONDITIONS HEAD NE DURING THE MORNING...WITH LINGERING
MVFR CIGS/MVFR-IFR VSBYS ACROSS NE AND E COASTAL MA INTO THE
AFTERNOON.

KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF TODAY...LOWERING TO MODERATE
TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING.

KBDL TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF TODAY...LOWERING TO MODERATE
TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE THIS PERIOD.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON...MVFR IMPROVING TO VFR. ANY LINGERING PRECIP ENDS
QUICKLY.

SUN NIGHT/MONDAY...VFR WITH GUSTY NW WINDS.

TUESDAY...MVFR IN SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS.

WEDNESDAY...VFR AND GUSTY WEST WINDS LIKELY.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

OVERNIGHT...EXPECT W WINDS TO VEER TO N BEHIND THE PASSING
ARCTIC FRONT. MAY SEE SOME GUSTS UP TO 20-25 KT WITH THE
FRONT...BUT SHOULD BRIEFLY DIMINISH TOWARD DAYBREAK.

WINDS AND SEAS DURING THE DAY SATURDAY SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS AS LIGHT SNOW OVERSPREADS THE REGION.

WITH LOW PRESSURE DEEPENING AS IT LIFTS NORTHEAST IN PROXIMITY TO
NANTUCKET BY SUNDAY MORNING...WILL SEE INCREASING WINDS TO GALE
FORCE /GUSTS UP TO 40 KTS/ SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. WAVES
OF 10 TO 15 FEET WILL BE POSSIBLE ON THE OUTER WATERS. A WINTRY MIX
CHANGING OVER TO ALL RAIN WILL IMPACT THE WATERS DURING WHICH TIME
VISIBILITIES ARE LIKELY TO BE IMPACTED.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.

SUN AFTERNOON THROUGH MON...GALE CENTER EXITS INTO THE MARITIMES
WITH INCREASING WNW WINDS. LOW RISK OF MARGINAL GALES /35 KT/.

TUESDAY...WINDS RELAX AS WEAK TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE AREA.
SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS MAY REDUCE VISIBILITY.

WEDNESDAY...INCREASING WEST WINDS AS LOW INTENSIFIES OVER THE
MARITIMES.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
NOT MUCH CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST. COASTAL STORM EXPECTED TO
TRACK NEAR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COAST. STRONG ENE WINDS DEVELOP
SAT NIGHT AND PEAK SUNDAY MORNING DURING HIGH TIDE. SURGE GUIDANCE
FROM BOTH ESTOFS AND ETS HAS BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT IN PROJECTING
A SURGE AROUND 1.5 FT. COULD SEE SURGE VALUES APPROACH 2 FT OR SO
AS MAX PRESSURE FALL CENTER TRACKS ACROSS SOUTH COAST...IN
ADDITION TO SURGE MODEL LOW BIAS ON NORTHEAST FLOW. A 2 FT SURGE
WOULD YIELD STORM TIDES ABOUT 1 FT BELOW FLOOD STAGE FOR MOST
EASTERN MA COASTAL LOCATIONS. HOWEVER THE COMBINATION OF THESE
ELEVATED WATER LEVELS WITH LARGE WAVE ACTION /15-20FT SEAS
OFFSHORE/ SHOULD YIELD SOME BREAKERS SPLASHING OVER SEAWALLS
RESULTING IN LANE/ROAD CLOSURES ALONG LOW-LYING SHORE ROADS.
RISK FOR MORE SEVERE COASTAL FLOODING APPEARS TOO LOW AT THIS
TIME TO WARRANT A WATCH OR WARNING. THUS WILL CONTINUE WITH THE
COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY.
