AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
956 AM EST SUN DEC 29 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE MOVES UP THE COASTAL PLAIN TODAY AND SWEEPS ACROSS
CAPE COD THIS EVENING INTO THE GULF OF MAINE. THE LOW WILL BRING
WITH IT HEAVY RAIN FOR ALL OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...AS WELL AS
STRONG WINDS TO THE SOUTH COAST. THERE IS ALSO THE THREAT OF
HEAVY WET SNOW ACROSS THE NORTH AND WEST INTERIOR NEW ENGLAND. AS
THE SYSTEM LIFTS OUT OVERNIGHT...MONDAY BEGINS THE TRANSITION TO
MUCH COLDER WEATHER WITH BITTERLY COLD CONDITIONS NEW YEARS EVE
AND DAY. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE AREA MOVES OUT OF THE PLAINS MIDWEEK
AND MAY BRING MORE SNOW SOMETIME THURSDAY.

&&

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

10 AM UPDATE...

03Z SREF AND 12Z NAM SUPPORT PREVIOUS FORECAST AND HEADLINES. THUS
NO MAJOR CHANGES EXPECTED. HERE IS AN UPDATE TO THE FOLLOWING
STORM ATTRIBUTES...

ONSET OF RAIN...NOON TO 3 PM FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST.

HEAVIEST RAIN...4 PM TO 8 PM. MESOSCALE MODELS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST
BANDING SIGNATURE WITH STRONG LOW TO MID LEVEL FGEN BENEATH A
LAYER OF NEGATIVE EPV IN A SATURATED ENVIRONMENT. THE RESPONSE
SHOULD BE FOR ONE OR MULTIPLE BANDS OF VERY HEAVY RAIN 4PM-8PM
ALONG AND NEAR THE MA PIKE /I-90/ EASTWARD INTO FOXBORO AND THE
GREATER BOSTON AREA...POSSIBLY SOUTHWARD INTO NORTHERN RI AND
NORTHEAST CT.

PRECIP DEPARTURE...RAIN TAPERS OFF 8 PM TO 11 PM FROM SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST.

STRONG WINDS...CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS BETWEEN 5 PM AND 9 PM.
60-65 KT AT 925MB CROSSES THIS AREA WITH SURFACE WINDS ENHANCED
BY PRES FALLS ON THE ORDER OF 3MB PER HOUR...AS SURFACE LOW TRACKS
FROM LONG ISLAND THROUGH CAPE COD CANAL. STRONGEST WINDS OCCUR
WHERE TEMPS RISE INTO THE 50S.

WINTRY PRECIP...MAY ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY OR SPECIAL
WEATHER STATEMENT FOR NORTHWEST MA AND SOUTHWEST NH FOR A WINTRY
MIX OF PRECIP. TWO CONCERNS HERE...TEMPS CURRENTLY IN THE U20S
ACROSS THIS REGION. THIS SHALLOW COLD AIR MAY NOT SCOUR OUT
YIELDING POTENTIAL FOR FREEZING RAIN. THEN LATER TODAY AND THIS
EVENING COLUMN BEGINS TO COOL IN RESPONSE TO HEIGHT FALLS. COOLING
PROCESS IS SLOW AS PHASING OF COLDER NORTHERN STREAM IS DELAYED
UNTIL STORM PASSES OUR REGION. SO MOST LIKELY SCENARIO IS FOR
POTENTIAL OF FREEZING RAIN AT THE ONSET ACROSS THIS REGION...THEN
TO ALL RAIN AND ENDING AS A PERIOD OF BRIEF HEAVY WET SNOW AND
SLEET. WILL CONTINUE TO EVALUATE OBSERVATIONAL AND MODEL TRENDS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

***STRONG AND INTENSE STORM SYSTEM FOR TODAY INTO TONIGHT***
***DAMAGING WINDS POSSIBLE OVER THE S/SE SHORES***
***HEAVY RAIN COULD RESULT IN URBAN/POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING***
***WET SNOW EXPECTED FOR NORTHWEST MA AND SOUTHERN NH***

BROADLY SPEAKING...MODELS SUCCINCT ON EJECTING A SOUTHERN STREAM
IMPULSE AND ATTENDANT SURFACE LOW NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE CAPE COD
CANAL SUNDAY EVENING SHORTLY BEFORE MIDNIGHT. WILL SKIP SPECIFICS
CONCERNING DYNAMICS AND DEEP-LAYER ASCENT AND SIMPLY NOTE THE GOOD
CORRELATION WITH A STORM SYSTEM ON JANUARY 3RD 1986 PER CIPS ANALOG
GUIDANCE SIMILAR TO EXPECTED OUTCOMES AND THREATS HIGHLIGHTED BELOW.

CONCERNING RAINFALL...RAIN OVERSPREADS THE REGION AROUND NOON...
CONCLUDING AROUND MIDNIGHT. BULK OF THE RAIN CENTERS AROUND 3 PM TO
9 PM THE HEAVIEST OF WHICH WILL BE ALONG A BROAD AXIS ROUGHLY FROM
SOUTH-CENTRAL CT TO EAST-CENTRAL MA WITH STORM-TOTAL AMOUNTS
AVERAGING 1 TO 1.5 INCHES /LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS UP TO 2-INCHES
POSSIBLE/. EMBEDDED HEAVIER RAIN BANDS WITHIN THE 6-HOUR WINDOW
ANTICIPATED. POOR DRAINAGE/URBAN FLOODING EXPECTED BUT IMPACTS
SHOULD BE ISOLATED. THUS WILL NOT PURSUE ANY FLOOD HEADLINES. AM
ALSO ANTICIPATING POOR VISIBILITIES ALONG AREA ROADWAYS WITH HEAVY
RAIN. WILL KEEP THE MENTION OF THUNDER OUT OF THE FORECAST.

AS FOR WINDS...EVALUATING 1 KFT AGL WINDS WHICH ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT
ON THE TRACK OF THE SURFACE LOW /TAKING A MEAN OF THE MESO-NAM AND
WRF-ARW/ EXPECTING 45 TO 55 MPH S WINDS AT 1 KFT AGL AROUND 7 PM...
SHIFTING SW AROUND 10 PM...AND TURNING W AND BEGINNING TO DIMINISH
BY MIDNIGHT ALONG THE SOUTH-COAST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS INDICATE A STABLE ENVIRONMENT BETWEEN THE SURFACE-1 KFT...
BUT MODEL 2M TEMPS MAY BE UNDERDONE. NAM SUGGESTS 50 DEGREES AT
NANTUCKET...WHILE THE WRF-ARW SUGGESTS 55. THE WARMER IT GETS THE
MORE EFFECTIVE MOMENTUM TRANSPORT IS TO THE SURFACE. CONSIDERING ALL
FACTORS...WILL GO WITH HIGH WIND WARNINGS FOR CAPE COD AND THE
ISLANDS WITH WIND ADVISORIES FOR BLOCK ISLAND...THE SE COAST OF
RI...AND THE SOUTH-COAST OF MA.

AS FOR THE EAST COAST...AS THE SYSTEM EXITS IT LOOKS POSSIBLE THAT
LOCALES SUCH AS CAPE ANN WILL SEE SUSTAINED NORTHEAST WINDS UP TO 31
MPH. WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY ACCORDINGLY. THIS MAY NEED TO BE
EXTENDED FOR EASTERN PLYMOUTH COUNTY. CONFIDENCE WAS NOT STRONG
ENOUGH TO PURSUE...SO WILL LEAVE IT TO THE DAY SHIFT TO MAKE ANY
MODIFICATIONS.

WITH REGARDS TO WINTER PRECIPITATION TYPES...SURFACE HIGH PRES IS
SITUATED WELL N IN QUEBEC...WHILE THE NORTHERN STREAM REMAINS SPLIT
FROM THE SOUTHERN STREAM IMPULSE. THICKNESSES ARE ABOVE CRITICAL
THRESHOLDS FOR A MAJORITY OF THE FORECAST PERIOD...BUT THERE IS A
SMALL WINDOW DURING THE APPROACH AND PASSAGE OF THE LOW /ROUGHLY 5
PM TO MIDNIGHT/ WHEN THE AGEOSTROPHIC/ISALLOBARIC COMPONENT OF THE
WIND ALLOWS FOR COLD-AIR FUNNELING S THROUGH WESTERN INTERIOR NEW
ENGLAND THEREBY LOWERING THICKNESSES. CONSIDERING 2M TEMPS NEAR-
FREEZING WITH MODEL FCST SOUNDINGS INDICATING A NEARLY-ISOTHERMAL
PROFILE TO H8...AM MORE INCLINED TO BELIEVE PRECIPITATION TYPES TO
BE EITHER RAIN OR SNOW. LESSER CONFIDENCE ON SEEING FREEZING RAIN/
SLEET. EXPECT SNOW TO BE SLUSHY...ACCUMULATING WHEN PRECIPITATING AT
LEAST MODERATELY. CONSIDERING COMPACTION AND LIQUID-TO-WATER RATIOS
AROUND 1:9...AM NOT EXPECTING MUCH ACCUMULATION /ROUGHLY AROUND 1 TO
3 INCHES AT MOST...SUB-ADVISORY/.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
LOW AMPLIFIES AT IT LIFTS EAST WITH ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING
FROM THE WEST. COLDER AIR WORKING IN WITH WEST-NORTHWESTERLY FLOW.
WILL SEE THE BOUNDARY-LAYER MIX-OUT DURING THE DAY ALLOWING THE MIX-
DOWN OF FASTER MOMENTUM AND DRIER AIR. EXPECT WEST-NORTHWESTERLY
WIND GUSTS UP TO 35 MPH INITIALLY DIMINISHING TO AROUND 25 MPH BY
EVENING. CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY CLEAR WITH JUST LOW CLOUDS OVER
FAR W NEW ENGLAND A CONSEQUENCE OF MOISTURE FETCH OFF THE LAKES.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
BIG PICTURE... CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER HUDSON BAY MOVES EAST ACROSS
QUEBEC AND LABRADOR DURING THE WEEK. THIS BRINGS A SPELL OF COLD AIR
TO THE NORTHEAST USA. A SHORTWAVE FROM THE ROCKIES EJECTS EAST OVER
THE GREAT PLAINS AND OHIO VALLEY THURSDAY AND MOVES ACROSS NEW
ENGLAND THURSDAY NIGHT.

MODELS... GOOD AGREEMENT ON UPPER CONTOURS THROUGH MIDWEEK. THE 00Z
GFS IS LESS SHARP THAN THE ECMWF WITH THE EVOLVING SHORTWAVE
THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY BUT SIMILAR IN TIMING. SOME SIMILAR SURFACE
FEATURES...TUESDAY NIGHT CLIPPER LOW/WEDNESDAY ARCTIC HIGH
PRESSURE/END OF WEEK HIGH PRESSURE. THE 00Z GFS IS FASTER IN JUMPING
THE THURSDAY SHORTWAVE TO THE NEW JERSEY COAST...THE ECMWF IS ABOUT
6 HOURS SLOWER WITH THAT MOVE. SUFFICIENT TIMING UNCERTAINTIES TO GO
WITH A BLEND OF THESE MODELS.

THE DAILIES...

MONDAY NIGHT... HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION WITH CLEARING
SKIES AND COLD ADVECTION. IT IS DURING THIS PERIOD THAT THE -10C
ISOTHERM ALOFT MOVES OVER THE 4-6C OCEAN WATER EAST OF
MASSACHUSETTS.  THIS SHOULD START TO GENERATE OCEAN EFFECT
CLOUDS/SNOW SHOWERS WITH THE NORTHWEST FLOW CARRYING THEM JUST OFF
THE COAST. PROVINCETOWN AND TRURO HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF BEING
CLIPPED BY A SNOW SHOWER. TEMPERATURES UPSTREAM IN THIS AIRMASS ARE
IN THE SINGLE NUMBERS...SO 5-15 SHOULD BE A GOOD TARGET FOR MIN
TEMPS EXCEPT PERHAPS UPPER TEENS ALONG THE SOUTH COAST.  IF WINDS
DIE OFF FASTER THAN EXPECTED THEN MIN TEMPS COULD BE AROUND ZERO.

TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY... NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE CROSSES THE
LAKES AND NORTHEAST TUESDAY.  THIS SHOULD BRING AN INCREASE IN
CLOUDS TO NEW ENGLAND BUT LOOKS MOISTURE STARVED SO SNOW SHOWERS
SHOULD BE VERY LIMITED...PROBABLY JUST SOUTHERN NH AND NORTHWEST
MASS WHICH WOULD BE CLOSEST TO ANY RESIDUAL MOISTURE COMING OFF LAKE
ONTARIO. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY WITH
ANOTHER PULSE OF VERY COLD AIR. TEMPS ALOFT WOULD BE EQUIV TO
-18C TO -21C...SO MAX TEMPS LOOK TO BE IN THE 20S. MODELS HINT AT A
SHALLOWER MIXING LAYER WEDNESDAY WHICH WOULD MEAN MAX TEMPS WOULD BE
A COUPLE OF DEGREES COOLER.

THURSDAY...SOUTHERN STREAM SURFACE LOW MOVES UP THE OHIO VALLEY AND
JUMPS TO COAST SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND EARLY THURSDAY NIGHT.  AS NOTED
EARLIER...THE ECMWF IS SLOWER WITH THE JUMP AND SO ALSO SLOWER IN
MOVING THE SYSTEM OFF TO THE EAST LATER AT NIGHT.  TEMPERATURE
PROFILES POINT TO SNOW. HIGH PRESSURE AXIS OVER QUEBEC WILL MAINTAIN
A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER OUR AREA AS THE LOW PASSES TO OUR
SOUTH.  THIS WOULD MEAN A MARINE INFLOW FROM THE GULF OF MAINE OVER
OUR AREA.  PUT IT TOGETHER...AN PERIOD OF SNOW MUCH OF THE DAY AND
EARLY NIGHT. IF THE ECMWF IS RIGHT...THE SNOW MIGHT START A LITTLE
LATER AND THEN END FRIDAY MORNING.  WE WILL GO WITH CHANCE POPS FOR
SNOW.

FRIDAY-SATURDAY... HIGH PRESSURE BRINGS FAIR AND CONTINUED COLD
WEATHER TO END THE WEEK. ANOTHER NORTHERN STREAM SYSTEM APPROACHES
THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES LATE SATURDAY AND MAY START FEEDING SOME
CLOUDS OUR WAY LATE.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

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

10 AM UPDATE...

NO MAJOR CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST. RAIN BEGINS NOON-3PM FROM
SW TO NE...THEN HEAVIEST 4-8PM AND QUICKLY EXITING 9-11PM.
HEAVIEST RAIN ALONG MA PIKE /I-90/ INTO BOSTON...POSSIBLY SOUTH
INTO NORTHERN RI AND NORTHEAST CT. FREEZING RAIN POSSIBLY
NORTHWEST MA INTO SOUTHWEST NH...THEN CHANGING TO ALL RAIN BEFORE
ENDING AS A BRIEF PERIOD OF HEAVY WET SNOW AND SLEET THIS EVENING.
EARLIER DISCUSSION BELOW.
===============================================================
VFR BUT LOWERING CIGS THROUGH THE MORNING. RAIN MOVES INTO CT
MIDDAY AND ACROSS REMAINDER OF REGION BY 3 PM. MVFR CIGS/VSBYS
ARRIVE 2-4 PM AND IFR 4-7 PM. LOWEST VSBYS IN HEAVY RAIN. COLD AIR
GETS DRAWN IN AFTER SUNSET AND CHANGES THE RAIN TO SNOW IN SRN NH
BY 7 PM AND IN NORTHERN MASS 7-10 PM.

STRONG S/SW WINDS AROUND 0Z-6Z FOR THE SOUTH COAST WITH SUSTAINED
WINDS OF 30-35 KTS FOR THE CAPE AND ISLANDS AND GUSTS UP TO
AROUND 45 KTS. LLWS IMPACTS ARE POSSIBLE AS WINDS 2 KFT AGL ARE
FORECAST 70 KTS.

SYSTEM EXITS OUT AROUND MIDNIGHT MONDAY. WILL SEE STRONG NE WINDS
ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE STORM AROUND 6Z SUSTAINED UP TO 30 KTS WITH
GUSTS UP TO 40 KTS FOR THE E-SHORE OF NEW ENGLAND /MAINLY CAPE
ANN/. WILL SEE CIGS AND VSBYS IMPROVE AS WINDS BACK W/NW REMAINING
BLUSTERY INTO MONDAY.

KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TRENDS BUT MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN
TIMING OF IMPACTS.

KBDL TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TRENDS BUT MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN
TIMING OF IMPACTS.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...VFR. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS 20 TO 25
KNOTS.

THURSDAY...CIGS/VSBYS LOWER TO MVFR IN SNOW. AREAS OF IFR POSSIBLE.
NORTHEAST WINDS WITH COASTAL GUSTS 20 TO 25 KNOTS.

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

QUIET WINDS AND SEAS THIS MORNING...BUT CONDITIONS DETERIORATE
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

WINDS WILL INCREASE OUT OF THE S/SW. THE STRONGEST OF WINDS WILL
DEVELOP AROUND 7 PM WITH S WIND GUSTS APPROACHING STORM-FORCE /48
KTS/ BACKING SW AND REMAINING NEAR STORM-FORCE AROUND 10
PM...THEN SHIFTING W AND BEGINNING TO DIMINISH TOWARDS MIDNIGHT.
SEAS OF 10 TO 14 FEET WILL BE POSSIBLE ON THE S/SE OUTER WATERS.

AS FOR WEATHER...EXPECT THE ONSET OF RAIN AROUND NOON BECOMING
HEAVY TOWARDS EVENING RESULTING IN POTENTIAL VISIBILITY ISSUES.
HEAVIEST OF RAIN OVER THE WATERS IS CENTERED AROUND 4 PM TO 10 PM.
WEATHER SHOULD CLEAR OUT IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER.

GALE WARNINGS IN EFFECT FOR ALL WATERS EXCLUDING NARRANGANSETT
AND MASSACHUSETTS BAY...AS WELL AS BOSTON HARBOR.

UPON EXPIRATION OF GALE WARNINGS...SMALL-CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL BE
NECESSARY OVER ALL WATERS WITH THE THREAT OF STRONG AND GUSTY
WESTERLY WINDS INTO MONDAY.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE

MONDAY NIGHT...DIMINISHING WINDS AND SEAS. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY
LINGER EARLY IN THE NIGHT. ARCTIC AIR MOVING OVER THE WATERS WILL
GENERATE OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS AND SOME FREEZING SPRAY.

TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY...SHIFTING WINDS TUESDAY AND NORTHWEST WINDS
WEDNESDAY.  GUSTS ON ONE OR BOTH DAYS WILL BE AROUND 25 KNOTS AND
SEAS WILL BE 5-6 FEET ON THE OUTER WATERS.  A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY

THE EASTERN WATERS...5 TO 8 FEET ON THE SOUTHERN EXPOSED WATERS. A
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS LIKELY...AND A GALE WARNING MAY BE NEEDED
FOR SOME OF THE WATERS.

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...

NOT MUCH CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST. DESPITE STRONG S-SW WINDS
OUTLINED ABOVE USHERING A SURGE OF 1 TO 2 FEET INTO BUZZARDS
BAY...AND N/NW WINDS BEHIND THE SYSTEM USHERING A SURGE AROUND 1
FOOT INTO CAPE COD BAY...BOTH WILL OCCUR ON THE BACK END OF HIGH
TIDE GOING TOWARD LOW TIDE. ALSO HIGHER OF THE TIDES OCCURS IN THE
AM WITH THE LOWER HIGH TIDE DURING EVENING. FURTHERMORE SHORT
