AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
109 AM EST SAT FEB 16 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL SPREAD SOME LIGHT SNOW ACROSS MUCH
OF THE REGION LATE TONIGHT INTO SAT.  A STRONGER OCEAN STORM WILL
BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW TO MOST AREAS SAT NIGHT INTO EARLY SUN
AFTERNOON...WITH THE BULK OF IT LIKELY NEAR THE FAR SOUTHEAST NEW
ENGLAND COAST.  BLUSTERY AND UNSEASONABLY COLD WEATHER FOLLOWS
THEREAFTER INTO MONDAY. ANOTHER THREAT FOR RAIN/SNOW IS POSSIBLE
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
CLOUDS ARE MOVING INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AHEAD OF A SUBTLE
SHORTWAVE MOVING UP FROM THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS. THIS SHORTWAVE
IS PRODUCING AN AREA OF RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS FROM WILKES-BARRE PA TO
WASHINGTON DC. EXPECT THIS PCPN WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN SECTIONS
AFTER MIDNIGHT AND WORK FARTHER EAST BY MORNING. BEST
FRONTOGENESIS REMAINS OVER EASTERN PA/NORTHERN NJ OVERNIGHT BUT
TRENDING NORTHEAST...AND HIGHEST VALUES IN NEW ENGLAND OVERNIGHT
WILL BE IN WESTERN CT AND WESTERN MASS.

FOG NOTED IN THE OBSERVATIONS. HIGH HUMIDITY IN LOW LEVELS LIKELY
DUE TO SNOWMELT. HAVE ADDED FOG TO THE OVERNIGHT FORECAST.

ADJUSTED TEMPS/DEWPOINTS/WINDS...BUT FORECAST GENERALLY REMAINS ON
TRACK.

FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
THE NAM/GFS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT IN SHOWING A BAND OF
DECENT SNOW GROWTH/FRONTOGENETIC FORCING ALONG WITH SOME NEGATIVE
EPV. THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE TO THE NORTHWEST OF
THE BOSTON TO PROVIDENCE CORRIDOR. FEEL MUCH OF INTERIOR SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND MAY SEE AN INCH OR TWO FROM THIS BAND. ITS POSSIBLE
THERE COULD BE SOME ISOLATED 3 TO 4 INCH AMOUNTS IN A NARROW BAND
WHERE FORCING IS MAXIMIZED.

ACROSS THE BOSTON TO PROVIDENCE CORRIDOR...POINTS SOUTH AND EAST THE
SNOW GROWTH/FORCING IS NOT AS STRONG AND ARRIVES A BIT LATER. IN
FACT...PRECIP TYPE COULD INITIALLY BE RAIN ESPECIALLY ON THE CAPE
AND ISLANDS. EITHER WAY...WITH SURFACE TEMPS MAY BE AROUND OR JUST
ABOVE FREEZING IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO GET MUCH ACCUMULATION
ESPECIALLY ON PAVED SURFACES WITH THE BULK OF THE FORCING GOING TO
THE NORTHWEST.

THERE MAY BE A BREAK IN THE ACTION FROM LATER SATURDAY MORNING INTO
THE AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE INTERIOR.  SPOTTY LIGHT SNOW
PERHAPS MIXED WITH RAIN ON THE FAR SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND COAST MAY
LINGER ALONG THE COAST INTO THE EARLY EVENING...BUT ANY
ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE LIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS LOW GIVEN SIGNIFICANT MODELS SPREAD.  THE
MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN LOW PRESSURE BOMBING OUT AS IT LIFTS
NORTHEAST AND PASSES SOUTHEAST OF THE BENCHMARK SAT NIGHT INTO SUN.
THE MAIN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE DETERMINED IS HOW QUICKLY THIS
OCCURS AND WHERE IT HAPPENS.  THE GFS MODELS IS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE
IN QUICKLY BOMBING THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CLOSES TO THE COAST.
THIS RESULTS IN THE COLD CONVEYER BELT SLAMMING EASTERN NEW ENGLAND
WITH HEAVY SNOW LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. WHILE IT DOES HAVE
SUPPORT FROM MANY GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS...THE REST OF THE MODEL SUITE
HAS A TRACK FURTHER EAST.

ALL IN ALL...GIVEN MOST OF THE MODELS WERE NOT AS AGGRESSIVE AS THE
GFS TOOK THE MORE CONSERVATIVE APPROACH IN THE SNOWFALL FORECAST.
FEEL THE BEST ACCUMULATIONS FOR MOST OF THE REGION WILL BE 1 TO 4
INCHES WITH THE HIGHER AMOUNTS AS ONE WORKS EAST TOWARDS THE COAST.
WE DO THINK THERE IS A DECENT POTENTIAL FOR HIGHER AMOUNTS AND/OR
STRONG WINDS/VERY POOR VISIBILITIES ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHEAST NEW
ENGLAND COAST.  DEPENDING ON HOW CLOSE TO THE COAST THE STORM
TRACKS...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR 4 TO 8 INCHES OF SNOW IN THIS
REGION.  IN ADDITION...A RAPIDLY DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL
LIKELY BRING STRONG WINDS LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY TO THIS
REGION.  EVEN IF SNOWFALL AMOUNTS TECHNICALLY FALLS BELOW
CRITERIA...ITS POSSIBLE THAT THERE IS A PERIOD OF NEAR WHITEOUT
CONDITIONS FOR A TIME LATE SAT NIGHT INTO EARLY SUN AFTERNOON.
ALSO...THE SNOW WILL INITIALLY BE WET IN THIS REGION SO THE
POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR A FEW DOWNED TREE LIMBS/POWER OUTAGES WHEN
COMBINED WITH THE STRONG WINDS.  WE FELT ALL THESE CONDITIONS
WARRANTED A WINTER STORM WATCH FROM EASTERN PLYMOUTH COUNTY/CAPE COD
AND THE OUTER ISLANDS.  THE SNOW SHOULD TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST
BY EARLY SUN AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH IT COULD LINGER ACROSS THE
CAPE/NANTUCKET A BIT LONGER WITH SOME OCEAN ENHANCEMENT.

AGAIN...CONFIDENCE IS LOW BECAUSE OF THE UNCERTAINTY HOW QUICKLY THE
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BOMB OUT.  WILL HAVE TO SEE HOW THE MODELS
TREND OVER THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS.  IF THE STORM TRENDS FURTHER
WEST AND BOMBS OUT EARLIER THAN THE CURRENT FORECAST
INDICATES...LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO EXPAND WINTER STORM WATCHES
AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS FURTHER EAST.  IF THE TREND IS FURTHER
EAST...MUCH OF THE REGION WILL JUST BE LEFT WITH AN INCH OR TWO.

BEHIND THE STORM...IT WILL BE COME VERY WINDY ACROSS THE ENTIRE
REGION ON SUNDAY.  WIND ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR MUCH OF
THE REGION.  IT WILL ALSO BE VERY COLD AS STRONG COLD ADVECTION
WRAPS IN BEHIND THE SYSTEM...HOLDING HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 20S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
* ARCTIC AIRMASS BUILDS INTO THE REGION LATE SUN INTO MON NIGHT
* ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM EXPECTED TUE BRINGING RAIN/SNOW
* A RETURN OF ARCTIC CONDITIONS FOR WED THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK

MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE LONG TERM PORTION OF
THE FORECAST.  WILL START OFF NEXT WEEK WITH AN ARCTIC AIRMASS
BRINGING COLDER THAN NORMAL TEMPS TO THE REGION.  A WARM FRONT MOVES
THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY BRINGING A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW THROUGH
EARLY WEDNESDAY.  COOL AIR THEN RETURNS AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO
THE REGION.  ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MAY BRING SNOW TO SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.

SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY....WITH STRONG LOW PRESSURE IN THE
MARITIMES AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST...EXPECT WINDY
CONDITIONS THROUGH THIS TIME PERIOD.  THERE MAY BE LEFTOVER SNOW
SHOWERS ON THE EAST AND NORTHEASTERN FRINGES OF THE CWA SUNDAY
EVENING...OTHERWISE DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD BE IN PLACE WITH THE WINDS
AND COLD TEMPERATURES THE DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE.

TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...LOW PRESSURE IN THE GREAT LAKES WILL BRING
A WARM FRONT NORTH ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BRINGING RAIN...
SNOW...OR A MIX TO THE AREA.  THE PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL LARGELY
DEPEND ON THE TIMING OF THE PRECIPITATION AND THE WARM AIR.  COULD
SEE IT BEING ALL RAIN...BUT IF THE PRECIP STARTS AHEAD OF THE WARMER
AIR...IT MAY START AS SNOW AND THEN CHANGEOVER TO SNOW.  MOST OF THE
PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO FALL BEFORE 7 AM WEDNESDAY...BUT PRECIP MAY
LINGER INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING.  THERE ARE SLIGHT DIFFERENCES IN THE
PATH OF THE LOW PRESSURE AS IT MOVES OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES...BUT
BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS HAVE THE LOW MOVING WELL NORTH OF SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND.  IT IS JUST A QUESTION OF HOW FAR NORTH.  EXPECT THESE
DIFFERENCES TO HAVE LITTLE EFFECT ON THE SENSIBLE WEATHER FOR THIS
AREA.

THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN ALONG WITH A COOLER AIRMASS THAT
WILL DROP TEMPERATURES BACK BELOW NORMAL.  OTHERWISE...MOSTLY SUNNY
AND DRY WEATHER EXPECTED.

FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...THIS IS THE NEXT CHANCE FOR SOME PRECIP.
THERE IS A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY HERE GIVEN THE TIME FRAME.  THE GFS
AND THE ECMWF HAVE LOW PRESSURE IN THE GREAT LAKES BEING ABSORBED
INTO LOW PRESSURE EAST OF THE CAROLINAS.  IN THE PROCESS OF THIS
HAPPENING...LIGHT SNOW OVERSPREADS THE REGION.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
  MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

SHORT TERM...

THROUGH 12Z...
FAIR SKIES AND LIGHT WIND IN THE EAST WHICH HAS ALLOWED PATCHES OF
FOG TO DEVELOP WITH SOME VSBYS BELOW 1 MILE. THIS WILL CONTINUE
OVERNIGHT AND THEN IMPROVE TOWARD MORNING. AREA OF SNOW MOVING UP
FROM NEW JERSEY INTO WESTERN CT AND WESTERN MASS...BRINGING MVFR
CIGS AND VSBYS AND PATCHY IFR CIGS/VSBYS. THIS AREA WILL SPREAD
EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND OVERNIGHT.

TODAY...
AREAS OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN SNOW OR MIXED RAIN/SNOW THIS MORNING.
CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE TO VFR THIS AFTERNOON AS THE SNOW
DIMINISHES.

TONIGHT...
AREA OF IFR CIGS/VSBYS SPREADS UP THE COAST INTO RI AND EASTERN
MASS. PREDOMINANT VFR IN CT AND WESTERN MASS/SOUTHERN NH...BUT
COULD BE BRIEF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN SNOW SHOWERS. INCREASING NORTH
WIND OVERNIGHT WITH GUSTS TO 40 KNOTS ON CAPE COD AND ISLANDS AND
25-30 KNOTS BOS-BED-PVD.

SUNDAY...
CURRENT FORECAST TRACK OF COASTAL STORM WOULD KEEP IFR CONDITIONS
IN RI/EASTERN MASS THROUGH THE MORNING AND VFR FARTHER NORTH AND
WEST. VFR CONDITIONS WOULD SPREAD EAST DURING THE AFTERNOON AS THE
PCPN ENDS. WINDS BECOME GUSTY NORTHWEST WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS
15-20 KNOTS AND GUST 35-40 KNOTS.

KBOS TAF...MODERATE CONFIDENCE THROUGH SUNDAY. VFR OVERNIGHT MAY
BECOME BRIEFLY MVFR IN RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS THIS MORNING. A BETTER
CHANCE OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN SNOW WILL COME AFTER MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. INCREASING NORTH WINDS WILL BECOME
NORTHWEST SUNDAY MORNING WITH GUSTS 35-40 KNOTS ON SUNDAY.

KBDL TAF...MODERATE CONFIDENCE THROUGH SUNDAY. PERIOD OF MVFR
CONDITIONS LIKELY FOR A FEW HOURS ROUGHLY 4 AM TO 9 AM MORNING IN
SNOW SHOWERS. LOW PROBABILITY OF BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS. CONDITIONS
IMPROVE TO VFR BY MIDDAY/AFTERNOON. OCCASIONAL MVFR IN SNOW
SHOWERS EARLY TO MID MORNING ON SUNDAY. NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS
INCREASE EARLY SUNDAY.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SUNDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE ON TRENDS.  LOW TO MODERATE
CONFIDENCE ON TIMING.  IMPROVING CONDITIONS EVERYWHERE. VFR BY THE
END OF THE NIGHT.  STRONG...GUSTY NORTHWESTERLY WINDS.

MONDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.  VFR.  GUSTY NORTHWESTERLY WINDS.

TUESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  CONDITIONS DETERIORATE IN LIGHT SNOW
OR RAIN MIXED WITH SNOW...CHANGING TO RAIN EVERYWHERE.

WEDNESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  CONDITIONS IMPROVE AS RAIN/SNOW
COMES TO AN END.

&&

.MARINE...
MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE THROUGH SUNDAY.

WINDS/SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS THROUGH SATURDAY
AFTERNOON.  THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT STRONG NORTHWEST GALE
FORCE WIND GUSTS WILL DEVELOP LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.  THIS
THE RESULT OF LOW PRESSURE BOMBING OUT AS IT PASSES SOUTHEAST OF THE
BENCHMARK.  GALE WATCHES ARE POSTED FOR ALL OUR WATERS LATE SAT
NIGHT INTO SUN.  IN FACT...THERE EVEN IS A LOW PROBABILITY OF STORM
FORCE WIND GUSTS LATE SAT NIGHT INTO SUN DEPENDING ON HOW SOON THE
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BOMBS OUT.  VISIBILITIES MAY BE REDUCED TO ONE
QUARTER OF A MILE OR LESS AT TIMES IN HEAVY SNOW...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
THE SOUTHEAST WATERS.

SEAS ACROSS THE EASTERN OUTER-WATERS WOULD LIKELY BUILD
TO BETWEEN 10 AND 15 FEET ACROSS THE EASTERN OUTER-WATERS.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  SEAS DIMINISH THROUGH MONDAY...DROPPING TO
NEAR 5 FEET ON TUESDAY AND THEN INCREASING AGAIN THROUGH THE END OF
THE PERIOD.  GALE FORCE NORTHWESTERLY WINDS EXPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT
AND MONDAY...THEN DIMINISH MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.  TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL BE NEEDED FOR HAZARDOUS
SEAS.  SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES OR PERHAPS GALE WARNINGS MAY BE
NECESSARY WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.
