AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
354 PM EST FRI JAN 10 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
LIGHT RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS...ALONG WITH A FEW POCKET OF LIGHT
FREEZING DRIZZLE...WILL PUSH OFFSHORE DURING THIS AFTERNOON.
OVERNIGHT DRIZZLE...CHANGING TO RAIN IS EXPECTED AS TEMPERATURES
RISE. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND STRONG WINDS EXPECTED LATE
SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY EVENING. LOW PRESSURE RACING ACROSS CANADA
WILL SWING A COLD FRONT ACROSS NEW ENGLAND ON TUESDAY. LOW
PRESSURE CROSSING THE MIDWEST WILL BRING ANOTHER CHANCE OF RAIN OR
SNOW MIDWEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
1 PM UPDATE...
AFTER THE FIRST BATCH OF SNOW MOVED OFFSHORE...TEMPS BEGAN TO RISE
ACROSS MOST AREAS THOUGH REMAINING A BIT COLDER THAN FORECAST.
THE NEXT AREA OF PRECIP HAS BEEN PUSHING ACROSS MAINLY CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN AREAS THROUGH 18Z THOUGH SOME LIGHT SNOW BEING REPORTED
INTO S NH AS WELL. NOTING MIX WITH RAIN ALONG S COAST AS TEMPS
HAVE RISEN TO THE LOWER 30S TO LOWER 40S. BAND OF LIGHT FREEZING
RAIN NOTED ACROSS SE CT INTO CENTRAL RI...THOUGH THIS SHOULD
CHANGE OVER TO ALL RAIN AS TEMPS CONTINUE TO RISE.

BACK EDGE OF PRECIP LOOKS TO BE MOVING INTO THE CT VALLEY ON
LATEST KBOX NE 88D REGIONAL RADAR LOOP...SO PRECIP SHOULD TAPER
OFF FROM W-E THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON.

HAVE UPDATED REMAINING GRIDS TO BRING CONDITIONS CURRENT.

TONIGHT...
INITIALLY...DURING THE EVENING HOURS...SOUNDINGS SUPPORT A BRIEF
LULL IN PRECIP ACTIVITY ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION AS A DRY LAYER
SHIFTS ALL THE WAY TO THE SFC. THE ONLY HOLDOUT ON THIS IS THE
NAM...WHICH KEEPS A FULLY SATURATED COLUMN FROM THE SFC TO H8 FROM
LATE AFTERNOON UNTIL DIFFLUENT FLOW AND WARM ADVECTION COMBINE
WITH STRONGER MOISTURE FLUX LATE TONIGHT. GIVEN EVEN NAM BASED
SREF ENSEMBLES AGREE THAT THE DRY PUNCH MAKES IT CLOSER TO THE
SFC AS THE H5 RIDGE CRESTS DURING THE EVENING AND EARLY OVERNIGHT
HOURS...WILL LEAN ON A PERIOD WITH LITTLE TO NO PRECIP THROUGH
AROUND MIDNIGHT LOCAL.

HOWEVER...GIVEN THE WARM ADVECTION...DIFFLUENT FLOW ALOFT AND THE
FACT THAT THE COLUMN DOES MOISTURE LOAD FROM NEAR THE SFC
UPWARD...SOUNDINGS SUPPORT A PERIOD OF DRIZZLE BEGINNING AROUND
MIDNIGHT UNTIL THE STRONGER LIFTS SETS UP IN THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS. THEREFORE...HAVE A PERIOD OF DRIZZLE GIVING WAY TO LIKELY
POPS IN THE W BY DAYBREAK.

THE KEY ISSUE WITH THE OVERNIGHT FORECAST WILL BE SFC
TEMPERATURES. GUIDANCE IS ACTUALLY IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT
THE H92 0C LINE IS ALREADY AT THE MA/NH BORDER BY 00Z.
HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THAT WITH SOME LIGHT SNOWFALL TODAY AND COLD
SFC TEMPERATURES LEFTOVER FROM EARLIER IN THE WEEK...THAT SFC
TEMPS MAY HOLD SOMEWHAT NEAR TO JUST BELOW FREEZING AND GRADUALLY
WARM THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THEREFORE...THERE IS THE
POSSIBILITY OF FREEZING DRIZZLE AND POSSIBLY EVEN FREEZING RAIN BY
THE EARLY MORNING WHERE TEMPS HOLD CLOSE TO FREEZING. THIS IS
PRIMARILY IN WRN MA AND SRN NH. NOT A COLD AIR DAMMING SETUP
HERE...JUST A STRONG INVERSION BASED ON ALREADY COLD SFC TEMPS AND
SLOWER WARMING. AT THIS TIME...GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY ON TIMING OF
DRIZZLE OR HEAVIER PRECIP VS SPEED WITH WHICH SFC TEMPS WARM...WILL
HOLD OFF ON ANY HEADLINES FOR LIGHT ICE ACCRETION BUT THE THREAT
IS THERE. DAY CREW CAN TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THIS AS NEW 12/18Z
DATA BECOMES AVAILABLE AND AN EVENING- OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURE TREND
CAN BE BETTER ESTABLISHED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...

LOW PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH QUEBEC AND SWINGS A COLD FRONT THROUGH
NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY NIGHT. TIMING ON THE FROPA IS ABOUT 03Z WEST T0
07Z EAST COAST. THE 12Z ECMWF WOULD SUGGEST SLIGHTLY SLOWER TIMING.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE FORECAST AROUND 1.25 INCHES...THE 1.5
INCH CONTOUR BRUSHES THE ISLANDS. THESE VALUES ARE AT LEAST +3 STD
DEVIATIONS FOR JANUARY AND 1.5 INCHES IS APPROACHING THE MAXIMUM
OBSERVED VALUE FOR THE MONTH. EXPECT HIGH QPF THROUGH THE EARLY
NIGHT UNTIL FROPA.  TOTALS ARE FORECAST IN THE MID 40S/K INDEX
AROUND 30/CAPE 100-125 JOULES/KG WHICH COULD GENERATE A BAND OF
HEAVIER DOWNPOURS ALONG/AHEAD OF THE FROPA. STRONG LOW LEVEL WINDS
LEADING THE FRONT...VALUES ARE FORECAST ABOVE 50 KNOTS AT 950 MB
EAST OF WORCESTER AND 75 KNOTS OVER THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.  WINDS OF
80 KNOTS FORECAST AT 925 MB. ADD TOGETHER THE INSTABILITY WITH THE
HEAVY DOWNPOURS /MOIST ADIABATIC LOW LEVEL PROFILE/ AND STRONG WINDS
AROUND 2000 FEET ALTITUDE...THIS SUGGESTS POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF
HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND STRONG WIND GUSTS /OVER 40 KNOTS/ EARLY AT NIGHT
ALONG/AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. PRIMARY CONCERN WOULD BE IN THE
COASTAL PLAIN AND ESPECIALLY ALONG THE SOUTH COAST AND CAPE/ISLANDS.

WIND SHIFT TO A WEST WIND OVERNIGHT AND SUNDAY WITH DRIER AND COOLER
AIR.  SUNSHINE AND COLDER TEMPS ALOFT WILL DESTABILIZE THE AIRMASS
AND PROMOTE MIXING TO AT LEAST 900 MB AND POSSIBLY 850 MB.  WINDS IN
THIS MIXED LAYER ARE FORECAST TO REACH 35 KNOTS AND POSSIBLY 40
KNOTS.  TEMPS AT 900 MB WILL BE -3C TO -4C...WHICH WOULD SUPPORT MAX
TEMPS IN THE MID 40S.

&&

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

HIGHLIGHTS...

*HIGH PRESSURE SOUTH OF THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
*NORMAL TO ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH THURSDAY
*POSSIBLE RAIN STORM TUESDAY

SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY HAVE GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT. MODEL SPREAD FOR
TUESDAY IS NOT CONVERGED ON ANY PARTICULAR SOLUTION EXCEPT FOR HOW
IT SHOULD HAPPEN. THE GFS WANTS TO TAKE THE MIDLEVEL TROUGH OUT OF
THE REGION EARLIER THAN THE ECMWF WANTS TO WITH THE CMC FOLLOWING
THE GFS. THE MAIN IDEA IS DISTURBANCES AND WAVES FROM CANADA SHOULD
SLINGSHOT AROUND UPPER LEVEL LOWS AND MOVE NEAR THE REGION. THE
ECMWF/ECENS SEEM TO BE TOGETHER ON BRINGING RAIN WHEREAS THE
CMCE/CMC/GEFS/GFS ALL SCRAPE THE AREA WITH RAIN. WEDNESDAY LOOKS TO
HAVE A POTENTIAL COASTAL WAVE DEVELOP FROM AN UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVING
INTO MOISTURE OFF THE COAST ACCORDING TO THE GFS/CMC. THE ECMWF
WAITS TO DEVELOP THAT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM UNTIL THURSDAY.

DAILIES...
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST FROM
THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE TO EAST OF THE EAST COAST. THIS BRINGS FLOW
INTO THE REGION INITIALLY FROM THE NORTHWEST...BUT WILL CHANGE TO
THE SOUTHWEST BEHIND THE HIGH DURING THE NIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH
MONDAY. A DRIER DAY IN STORE.

TUESDAY...LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHES THE REGION WITH SPREAD
NOTED ABOVE. HAVE GONE WITH A BLEND OF THE MODELS AND LOW
PROBABILITIES.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...COASTAL LOW MAY FORM OFF THE EAST COAST ON
WEDNESDAY IF ONE FOLLOWS THE GFS/CMC. ECMWF WAITS UNTIL THURSDAY FOR
THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO FORM. GFS ALLOWS FOR SLIGHT RIDGING AND
A DRIER DAY BETWEEN A CANADIAN UPPER LEVEL LOW ON THURSDAY.

FRIDAY...MODELS ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT THAT THE CANADIAN LOW THAT
WAS NEAR THE REGION ON THURSDAY SHOULD BE MOVING NORTH. WE SHOULD
REMAIN DRY.

.AVIATION /21Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

VALLEY BY AROUND 20Z...THEN SHOULD SHIFT E.

TONIGHT...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO DETERIORATE TO IFR-LIFR FROM
W-E AROUND OR AFTER 06Z AS PRECIP MOVES IN ALONG WITH DEVELOPING
PATCHY FOG. TEMPS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY RISE OVERNIGHT...BUT WILL
SEE PERIODS OF -FZRA/-PL ACROSS S NH/N CENTRAL AND W MA. THIS
SHOULD CHANGE OVER TO -RA FROM S-N AFTER MIDNIGHT...MAY NOT DO SO
ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN OF S NH UNTIL AROUND 12Z. LLWS POSSIBLE
AFTER 09Z ACROSS CENTRAL AND WESTERN AREAS AS STRONG LL JET MOVES
IN.

SATURDAY...EXPECT WIDESPREAD IFR CONDITIONS IN PRECIP AND AREAS OF
FOG. ANY -FZRA EARLY SAT ACROSS S NH SHOULD CHANGE OVER TO RAIN.
DEVELOPING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS WESTERN AREAS DURING THE
AFTERNOON. LLWS EXPECTED ACROSS REGION...HIGHEST WINDS ACROSS E
MA/RI.

WINDS ALOFT DIMINISH TO THE WEST BUT COULD BE A PERIOD OF WIND SHEAR
IN THIS AREA DURING THE EVENING.  CONDITIONS IMPROVE TO VFR FROM
WEST TO EAST AFTER 2 AM.

SUNDAY... VFR THROUGH THE DAY. WEST WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY WITH
SPEEDS OF 35 KNOTS AND POSSIBLY 40 KNOTS MIDDAY AND AFTERNOON.
