NOCERA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1007 AM EDT TUE MAR 19 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM WILL IMPACT MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND TODAY. DRY...BLUSTERY AND COLDER THAN NORMAL CONDITIONS
WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION WEDNESDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH THIS
WEEKEND. A WEAK REINFORCING COLD FRONT MAY MOVE ACROSS SATURDAY
NIGHT OR SUNDAY. LOW PRESSURE MAY DEVELOP OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
10 AM UPDATE... MINOR CHANGES TO FORECAST TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT
CONDITIONS. LOW PRESSURE CENTER IS JUST SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND
CURRENTLY. GENERALLY A MIX OR ALL RAIN SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE IN
WESTERN MASS AND ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE 495 CORRIDOR IN
SOUTHEASTERN MASS. THIS FIRST AREA OF PRECIP IS MAINLY CONFINED TO
EASTERN AND NORTHEASTERN MASS...RI...AND SOUTHERN NH. ANOTHER AREA
OF PRECIP IS CURRENTLY OVER WESTERN NEW YORK AND WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. WILL DROP ADVISORY ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN
MASS AT THIS TIME AS TEMPERATURES ARE SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE
FREEZING AND PTYPE IS RAIN NOW. OTHERWISE...WILL LEAVE HEADLINES
AS IS FOR NOW.

MODELS...
00Z/06Z MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THIS MORNING. ALTHOUGH
THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PRECIP/QPF OVERNIGHT...MODELS ARE
INDICATING THAT A DRY SLOT WILL MOVE THROUGH EARLY THIS MORNING
AS A SURFACE LOW APPROACHES. THIS IS EVIDENT ON RADAR AS THE
ECHOES ARE MORE OF A SHOWERY NATURE RATHER THAN STRATIFORM AND
HVY. BECAUSE OF THIS...BELIEVE SEVERAL BURSTS OF SNOW WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE MORNING. THIS WILL DROP
VSBYS CONSIDERABLY SO MOTORISTS SHOULD USE CAUTION.

PTYPE...
SEEING A TRANSITION OF A WINTRY MIX ACROSS CT/RI AND SE MASS PER
LATEST OBS AND DUAL-POL DATA. THE RAPS DATA AT 850MB SHOWS A GOOD
WARM NOSE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SURFACE LOW...ALREADY INTRUDING NEAR
THE MASS PIKE. THEREFORE EXPECT SITES SOUTH OF THE PIKE TO BE A
MIX BAG OF WINTRY PRECIP FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MORNING BEFORE
TRANSITIONING TO ALL RAIN. SNOW WILL CONTINUE FOR A FEW MORE
HOURS JUST NORTH OF THE PIKE...BUT THAT TRANSITION WILL EVENTUALLY
MOVE NORTHWARD. HAVE GREATEST CONFIDENCE THAT NORTH OF ROUTE 2
WILL REMAIN ALL SNOW...ESP IN S NH.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

TODAY...
SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE UP TOWARDS LONG ISLAND AND EVENTUALLY GO
TOWARDS THE CAPE COD CANAL. TRENDED THE FORECAST TOWARDS THE 00Z
EC AND THE 00Z NAM IN TERMS OF THICKNESS/QPF. TEMPS TRENDED
TOWARDS HI-RES MODELS AND THE WET-BULB.

THE EASTERLY WINDS WILL PICK UP THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS PRESSURE
GRADIENT INCREASES FROM THE APPROACHING LOW. EXPECT WINDS TO GUST
AROUND 20-30MPH. THIS MAY ALLOW FOR SOME DRIFTING OF SNOW ESP NORTH
OF THE PIKE. QPF WILL RANGE FROM 0.75 INCHES ACROSS THE SW PORTIONS
OF THE AREA TO 1.50 INCHES ACROSS NE PORTIONS...AS THE LOW MOVES
ACROSS THE AREA...MAIN SWATH OF QPF WILL PIVOT OVER THE NE PORTION
OF THE CWA.

TONIGHT...

SURFACE LOW SHOULD BE PASSING OVER THE CANAL EARLY TONIGHT BEFORE
HEADING INTO THE GULF OF MAINE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THIS WILL
ALLOW FOR WINDS TO SWITCH TO THE WNW. THE OVERALL STRUCTURE OF THE
SYSTEM WILL BE VERTICALLY STACKED AND WITH SUBSIDENCE FILLING IN
BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW...BELIEVE SNOWFALL RATES/TRENDS WILL
DIMINISH OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

HOWEVER BELIEVE THAT NH WILL SEE THE BRUNT OF THE SNOWFALL AS TEMPS
WILL REMAIN BELOW FREEZING AND THERMAL PROFILES WILL BE ALL COLD.
GOOD AMOUNT OF MOISTURE REMAINS ACROSS NH...WITH DRY AIR PUSHING
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE REGION.

ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW...TEMPS WILL DROP SIGNIFICANTLY ALLOWING
FOR MORE ACCUMULATING SNOW TO OCCUR BUT AS MENTIONED BEFORE BELIEVE
THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA WILL SEE THE BEST CHANCE...INCLUDING
THE BERKS AND WORCESTER HILLS. BELIEVE FLURRIES MAY OCCUR
EVERYWHERE ELSE AS DRY AIR INTRUDES INTO THE REGION. SNOWFALL TOTALS
WILL RANGE FROM AN INCH TO 2.5 INCHES OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY... SURFACE LOW AND UPPER LOW FORM A CLOSED
VERTICALLY STACKED CIRCULATION OVER THE NORTHEAST USA.  COLD POOL
TEMPS AND MOISTURE REMAIN OVER THE NORTHEAST WITH THE CORE OF CLOUDS
AND INSTABILITY OVER THE EASTERN LAKES AND NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
PARTLY CLOUDY NORTH OF THE MASS PIKE...MOSTLY CLEAR SOUTH.

SHORTWAVE ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LOW EXTENDS SOUTH ON
THURSDAY...DRAWING ANOTHER DEVELOPING COASTAL LOW NORTH.  THIS LOW
REMAINS WELL OFFSHORE...BUT COMBINED WITH THE TROUGH AXIS THERE
SHOULD BE ENOUGH LIFT AND MOISTURE FOR SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS
THURSDAY ESPECIALLY MHT-ORH-IJD EASTWARD...DIMINISHING BY FRIDAY.

COLD POOL REMAINS IN PLACE ALL THREE DAYS...WITH TEMPS ALOFT
SUPPORTING MID 30S TO AROUND 40. CLOUDS THURSDAY MAY KEEP MAX
TEMPS A COUPLE OF DEGREES BELOW THIS MAX POTENTIAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
NO CHANGES MADE IN THE FORECAST FRIDAY NIGHT TO MONDAY.

HEADLINES...

* DRY BUT COLDER THAN NORMAL WEATHER RETURNS WEDNESDAY AND CONTINUES
  THROUGH THIS WEEKEND
* MONITORING POSSIBLE LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING OFF THE MID ATLC OR SE
  U.S. COAST SUNDAY NIGHT OR MONDAY

SYNOPTIC OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCES...
WITH CONTINUED BLOCKING ACROSS GREENLAND INDICATIVE OF A NEGATIVE
NAO PATTERN...NOTING CUTOFF LOW PRES ACROSS THE NORTHEAST U.S. FOR
MOST IF NOT ALL OF THIS PERIOD AND LIKELY BEYOND. MEDIUM RANGE
MODELS IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT INTO THIS
WEEKEND...THEN DEPARTURES COME INTO PLAY WITH EXIT OF CUTOFF UPPER
LOW. 00Z ECMWF APPEARS TO SHOW SOMEWHAT BETTER CONTINUITY WITH
PREVIOUS RUNS AS WELL AS ITS ENSEMBLE MEAN...SUPPRESSING THE POLAR
FRONT MUCH FURTHER S THAN NORMAL FOR THE BEGINNING OF ASTRONOMICAL
SPRING. THIS IS KEEPING AN ANOMOLOUSLY COLD PATTERN ACROSS THE
REGION INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AND BEYOND.

NOTING 00Z EC/12Z GFS BOTH DEVELOPING LOW PRES AROUND THE MID
ATLC/SE U.S. COAST LATE IN THE PERIOD. RATHER WIDE VARIANCE IN THE
LOCATION AND TRACK OF THIS LOW...SO LOW CONFIDENCE ON THIS FEATURE
AND ITS POSSIBLE EFFECTS ON THE REGION.

DETAILS...

SATURDAY-SUNDAY...OFFSHORE LOW PRES FINALLY EXITS DURING SATURDAY
WITH NW FLOW WORKING INTO THE REGION. APPEARS THAT WEAK SHORT
WAVE/ REINFORCING COLD FRONT WORKS S IN THE UPPER FLOW SAT NIGHT-
SUN. HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS MENTIONED DURING THIS TIMEFRAME.

SUNDAY NIGHT-MONDAY...00Z ECMWF AND 12Z GFS OP RUNS SHOW LOW PRES
DEVELOPING OFF EITHER THE MID ATLC OR SE U.S. COAST DURING THIS
TIMEFRAME. APPEARS THE 12Z GFS OP RUN IS FURTHER S IN MOVING THIS
FEATURE OFFSHORE DURING MON THAN ITS 00Z RUN...BUT STILL QUITE A BIT
FARTHER N THAN THE 00Z EC/ECENS MEAN. RATHER LOW CONFIDENCE DUE TO
THE WIDE VARIANCE IN MODEL SOLUTIONS. WILL LEAN TOWARD THE EC/ECENS
FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE...KEEPING DRY AND COLD CONDITIONS IN PLACE
FOR THE END OF THIS PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
  MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

OVERVIEW...MODERATE CONFIDENCE TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.

TODAY...SNOW AND LIFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST N OF ROUTE 2 AND
MIXED PRECIP S OF THAT LINE TO ABOUT A BOS-CEF-BAF LINE. FURTHER
S...THE PRECIP WILL LIKELY CHANGE TO RAIN BY LATE MORNING.
REGARDLESS OF PRECIP TYPE...CIGS AND VSBYS EXPECTED TO BE
GENERALLY IFR/LIFR. E WINDS OVER COASTAL SE MA AND COASTAL RI MAY
GUST TO 35 KT FOR A TIME.

TONIGHT...CONDITIONS SHOULD BE IMPROVING FROM SW TO NE FROM
IFR/MVFR TO VFR WITH THE MOST IMPROVEMENT AFTER MIDNIGHT.

KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE ON TRENDS...MODERATE CONFIDENCE ON
TIMING. LIFR CONDITIONS INTO THE MORNING DUE TO HVY SNOW...THEN
MIXING WITH SLEET/RAIN LATE MORNING THEN CHANGING TO AROUND
DURING THE AFTERNOON.

KBDL TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE ON TRENDS...MODERATE CONFIDENCE ON
TIMING. WINTRY MIX OF FREEZING RAIN/SLEET WILL CONTINUE. MAINLY
RAIN/SLEET/SNOW THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY... VFR IN GENERAL.  WEST WINDS
WEDNESDAY WILL INCREASE AS DAYTIME SUNSHINE PULLS STRONGER WIND
GUSTS DOWN FROM ALOFT.  WIND GUSTS SHOULD REACH 30-35 KNOTS IN THE
AFTERNOON. SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS THURSDAY WITH BRIEF MVFR CIGS/IFR
VSBYS POSSIBLE IN SNOW SHOWERS.

SATURDAY...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.

EASTERLY WINDS WILL PREVAIL THIS MORNING AND INCREASE TO GALE
FORCE ON THE EAST COAST AROUND MIDDAY. HAVE ALLOWED GALE WARNING
TO EXPIRE ON THE SOUTH COASTAL WATERS THIS MORNING BUT HAVE ISSUED
AGAIN FOR WINDS ABOVE 34 KTS LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.  SEAS
BUILD WITH THE INCREASING WINDS. EXPECT SEAS IN THE 10 TO 15 FOOT
RANGE. EXPECT GALE FORCE WINDS TO CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.

OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

WEDNESDAY...POTENTIAL FOR WEST GALES IN FREQUENT WIND GUSTS TO 35
KNOTS.  WINDS DIMINISH WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

THURSDAY-FRIDAY...NORTH-NORTHWEST WINDS INCREASE TO SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY LEVELS LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.
