AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1036 AM EST WED JAN 1 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM WILL AFFECT THE REGION THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY...BRINGING THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY SNOW/STRONG WINDS/COASTAL
FLOODING AND POSSIBLY EVEN NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS FOR A TIME ALONG
THE EASTERN MA COAST.  DRY...BUT BITTERLY COLD AIR WITH DANGEROUSLY
WIND CHILLS FOLLOWS THE STORM FRI INTO SAT.  TEMPS WILL THEN
MODERATE EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1030 AM UPDATE...FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK FOR THIS MORNING. MADE
MINOR UPDATES TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT TRENDS. A FEW CLOUDS ARE
ACROSS THE REGION RIGHT NOW AND EXPECTING INCREASING CLOUDS THIS
AFTERNOON.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES THIS MORNING WILL GIVE WAY TO INCREASING
CLOUDINESS THIS AFTERNOON.  THIS A RESULT OF MID LEVEL MOISTURE
STREAMING INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AHEAD OF A DEEPENING TROUGH
ACROSS THE CENTRAL U.S.  HOWEVER...DRY WEATHER SHOULD PREVAIL TODAY
WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 20S.  BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL RESULT IN WIND
CHILL VALUES REMAINING IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS ALL DAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM THURSDAY/...
MAINLY DRY WEATHER WILL PREVAIL THIS EVENING.  HOWEVER...MID LEVEL
WARM ADVECTION WILL RESULT IN AN AREA OF FRONTOGENESIS ALLOWING
LIGHT SNOW TO BREAK OUT AFTER MIDNIGHT FROM WEST TO EAST.  APPEARS
THAT BEST FRONTOGENESIS WILL SETUP ALONG AND NORTH OF THE MA
TURNPIKE...WHERE AN INCH OR SO OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE BY EARLY THURSDAY
MORNING. LOW TEMPS WILL MAINLY BE IN THE TEENS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* COASTAL STORM WITH A VARIETY OF HAZARDS THURS INTO FRIDAY
* WELL BELOW AVG TEMPERATURES FOR FRI AND SAT
* ANOTHER POSSIBLE SYSTEM IMPACTING THE REGION SUN NIGHT INTO MON

CONFIDENCE LEVEL... MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE OVERALL
FORECAST TREND WITH THE SYSTEM THU INTO FRI...THEN HIGH PRES AND
VERY COLD TEMPS INTO THE WEEKEND. FURTHER OUT...CHANGING UPPER
LEVEL PATTERN OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. CAUSES TIMING ISSUES FOR
ANOTHER LOW FROM SUN NIGHT INTO TUE YIELDING LOW CONFIDENCE.

DETAILS...

THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...
PIECE OF ENERGY FOR A SIGNIFICANT COASTAL SYSTEM IS MOVING ACROSS
THE CONUS AND DIGGING ACROSS THE WEST AT THIS TIME PER LATEST WV
IMAGERY. THIS DIGGING TROUGH WILL PICK UP MOISTURE ALONG THE GULF
AND DEVELOP A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF THE COAST OF NC. 850MB LOW
WILL DEVELOP OVER THE MIDWEST AND MOVE TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST BY
LATE THURSDAY ALLOWING FOR BOTH SYSTEMS TO COMBINE IN A PRETTY
SIGNIFICANT STORM FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. LASTLY...HIGH
PRESSURE TO THE NORTH WILL CONTINUE TO REINFORCE COLD AIR ALLOWING
FOR THE PTYPE TO REMAIN ALL SNOW. DETAILS ARE BROKEN DOWN BELOW.

* MODELS...THE MODELS HAD CONVERGED TOWARD A COMMON SOLUTION
  BEGINNING WITH THE 31/12Z CYCLE FOR THIS UPCOMING SYSTEM. A STRONG
  MAJORITY OF 12Z ECMWF ENSEMBLE MEMBERS AND 00Z GEFS MEMBERS
  SUPPORTED THE GROWING OPERATIONAL MODEL CONSENSUS WHICH CENTERS
  AROUND THE GFS/ECMWF/UKMET. BOTH THE NAM AND GFS ARE A LITTLE MORE
  ROBUST THEN THE EC AS 700MB CLOSED LOW IS APPARENT IN THE GFS/NAM
  WHERE IT IS AN OPEN WAVE FOR THE EC. NAM/GFS/UKMET MODELS AGREE ON
  THE POTENTIAL FOR OCEAN EFFECT SNOW BEING ENHANCED ALONG THE MASS
  COAST LINE...WHILE THE EC QPF SEEMS TO BE UNDERDONE. REGARDLESS
  MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A SIGNIFICANT COASTAL LOW WITH MODERATE
  SNOWFALL FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

* TEMPS...NO ISSUES WITH P-TYPE AS THERMAL PROFILES WILL ALL BE
  BELOW 0C. SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL BELOW AVERAGE AS
  1000MB TEMPS ARE BETWEEN 3 TO 4 STANDARD DEVIATIONS AWAY. ONCE
  WHEN THE WINDS SHIFT TO THE NORTH ON THURSDAY EXPECT A QUICK DROP
  IN TEMPERATURES RESULTING IN SURFACE TEMPS 15-20F BELOW AVERAGE.
  WIND CHILL ADV MAY BE NEEDED FOR CENTRAL AND WESTERN MA ON
  THURSDAY NIGHT AS WIND CHILLS WILL DROP BELOW -15F. FRIDAY DAY
  TEMPS WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH 20F. LOOKING AT THE SNOW GROWTH
  REGION...SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW DEEP MOISTURE THROUGH THE
  PROFILE AND TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE BETWEEN -10C TO -15C. THIS
  WILL RESULT IN VERY FINE SNOW AND INCREASE THE SNOW RATIO TO 15:1
  TO PERHAPS 20:1 IN SOME LOCATIONS.

* SNOW...SNOW WILL OVERSPREAD ACROSS THE REGION ON THURSDAY AS A
  850MB FRONTOGENETIC FORCING ZONE SETS UP ALONG AND NORTH OF THE
  MASS PIKE. EXPECT A FEW INCHES TO FALL OUT OF THIS DURING THE DAY
  ON THURSDAY. SOUTH OF THE PIKE MAY SEE A FEW FLURRIES BUT APPEARS
  THE REGION COULD GET DRY SLOTTED FOR A PERIOD. MAIN CONCERN IS THE
  SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL FOR THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. LEANED
  TOWARDS THE 00Z GEFS FOR QPF...WHICH SEEMS TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF
  GUIDANCE...ALLOWING FOR MUCH OF THE REGION SEEING 0.5 INCHES OF
  QPF WITH HIGHER AMOUNTS CLOSER TO THE MASS COASTLINE. THIS WILL
  RESULT IN A WIDESPREAD 6 TO 12 INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS THE REGION.
  CLOSER TO THE COASTLINE...SST 850MB SPREAD IS NEARING 20C
  DIFFERENCE COMBINED WITH PERSISTENT NORTHEAST FLOW AND OCEAN
  INDUCED CAPE OF OVER 400 J/KG WILL RESULT IN A QUICK 4+ INCHES IN
  A 24 HR TIME FRAME. THEREFORE BELIEVE THAT THIS OCEAN ENHANCEMENT
  WILL RESULT IN HIGHER AMOUNTS OF 8 TO 14 INCHES ALONG THE MASS
  COASTLINE. EVEN LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE DUE TO THE
  HIGH SNOW RATIOS.

* WIND...MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT THIS LOW WILL DEEPEN AROUND
  LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND INTO FRIDAY...ALLOWING FOR THE PRESSURE
  GRADIENT TO INCREASE AND GUSTY WINDS TO OCCUR. 925 MB JET IS
  AROUND 40-50KTS ACROSS THE MA/PVD CORRIDOR AND INTO THE CAPE AND
  ISLANDS. SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW EXCELLENT MIXING DUE TO ARCTIC
  AIRMASS...SO THESE WINDS WILL MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE RESULTING IN
  GUSTS 35-45 MPH. WITH THESE KIND OF GUSTS AND SNOW
  ACCUMULATIONS...NEAR BLIZZARD-LIKE CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED.
  SINCE THE WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO REALLY GUST UNTIL THURSDAY
  NIGHT...HELD OFF ON THE POTENTIAL FOR A BLIZZARD WATCH AND WILL
  LET DAY SHIFT LOOK AT THE LATEST 12Z MODEL DATA. AREA OF CONCERN
  IS FROM CAPE ANN DOWN TO CAPE COD INCLUDING THE CITY OF BOSTON AND
  AS FAR WEST AS PROVIDENCE. REGARDLESS OF HEADLINES...EXPECTING
  SIGNIFICANT BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW REDUCING VSBYS MAKING
  TRAVEL NEAR IMPOSSIBLE.

* COASTAL FLOODING...SEE DISCUSSION BELOW.

FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...
STORM SYSTEM WILL EJECT INTO THE GULF OF MAINE BY FRIDAY NIGHT
ALLOWING FOR HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD IN ACROSS THE REGION. THIS
ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL ALLOW FOR SIGNIFICANT RADIATIONAL
COOLING ON FRIDAY NIGHT. TEMPS WILL BE WELL BELOW AVERAGE WITH
1000MB TEMPERATURES AT LEAST 2 TO 3 STANDARD DEVIATIONS AWAY.
TEMPS WILL DROP BELOW ZERO INCLUDING THE METRO REGIONS. WARM SPOTS
WILL BE THE CAPE AND THE ISLANDS THANKS TO THE WARMER OCEAN
WATERS. THESE BITTER COLD TEMPS MAY WARRANT A WIND CHILL ADVISORY
FRIDAY NIGHT AS WIND CHILLS DROP TO BELOW -20F NORTH OF THE MASS
PIKE...WITH -15F NORTH OF I-95...INCLUDING THE CITY OF BOSTON.

SLIGHT RIDGING ALOFT WILL ALLOW FOR A WARMUP ON SATURDAY AND INTO
SUNDAY. SAT HIGHS WILL ONLY REACH THE MID TEENS TO LOW 20S WHILE
HIGHS SUNDAY WILL BE ABOVE FREEZING...MID 30S TO LOW 40S...THANKS TO
SIGNIFICANT WAA AT 850MB.

SUNDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...MODELS GREATLY DIVERGE FOR THIS
TIMEFRAME. APPEARS ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE REGION DURING
THE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY TIMEFRAME. STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY
BUT LOOKS LIKE AN INLAND RUNNER. FOR NOW FOLLOWED WPC AND
INCREASED POPS TO LIKELY IN FOR THIS TIME FRAME AND WILL HASH OUT
THE DETAILS LATER THIS WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

NEAR TERM /TODAY AND TONIGHT/...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

TODAY...WESTERLY SCA WIND GUSTS AND SEAS THIS MORNING SHOULD
DIMINISH ACROSS MOST OF OUR WATERS BY MID AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE
TEMPORARILY BUILDS INTO THE REGION.

TONIGHT...RELATIVELY WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT SHOULD KEEP WINDS AND
SEAS BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS.  LIGHT SNOW WILL BREAK OUT AT LEAST
ACROSS A PORTION OF OUR WATERS AFTER MIDNIGHT REDUCING
VISIBILITIES.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

THURSDAY...E-NE WINDS INCREASE DURING THE DAY...WITH GUSTS TO
35-45 KT DEVELOPING IN THE EVENING. SEAS BUILDING UP TO 10-18 FT
HIGHEST ON THE OUTER WATERS THU NIGHT. A GALE WATCH HAS BEEN
ISSUED FOR ALL THE WATERS.

FRIDAY...NE WINDS SHIFT TO N DURING THE DAY...WITH GUSTS OF 30-45
KNOTS. LOW PROBABILITY OF 45+ KTS ACROSS THE SE COASTAL WATERS.
NW WINDS DIMINISH FRI NIGHT. SEAS WILL BE 15 TO 20 FEET ON THE
EASTERN WATERS AND 10 TO 15 FEET ON THE SOUTHERN WATERS.

SATURDAY...EXPECT WINDS AND SEAS DIMINISH...THOUGH WILL REMAIN IN
SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA.

SUNDAY AND MONDAY...WINDS AND SEAS BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA AS
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM REMAINS AN INLAND RUNNER.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
ECMWF AND GFS MODELS ALONG WITH THEIR ENSEMBLE MEMBERS HAVE TRENDED
TOWARD A MORE PROGRESSIVE/FURTHER SOUTHEAST TRACK WITH THE COASTAL
STORM THU-FRI. THIS REDUCES THE RISK OF MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING FOR
THE FRIDAY MIDDAY HIGH TIDE ALONG THE MA E COAST. NEVERTHELESS...THE
COMBINATION OF HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES AND RELATIVELY LONG
DURATION AND FETCH OF NORTHEASTERLY WINDS SETS THE STAGE FOR
MINOR TO MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING FOR MULTIPLE HIGH TIDE CYCLES.

USING BOSTON AS AN INDEX...NOTE THAT ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES ARE
VERY HIGH WITH 12.2 FEET MEAN LOWER LOW WATER AT BOSTON THU AND
FRI...AT 11:22 AM AND 12:15 PM RESPECTFULLY. THERE ALSO IS A 10.9
FOOT HIGH TIDE AT BOSTON THU NIGHT AROUND MIDNIGHT. AS USUAL IN
THESE SITUATIONS...HAVE GONE ABOVE BOTH THE ETSS AND ESTOFS
GUIDANCE BASED ON SYNOPTIC PATTERN RECOGNITION. BELIEVE ENOUGH
GRADIENT AND FETCH TO SUPPORT A STORM SURGE OF .5 TO
.75 FT THU MIDDAY...INCREASING TO 1.0 TO 2.0 FT FOR BOTH THE THU
NIGHT AND FRI MIDDAY TIDES...HIGHEST S OF BOSTON. THE SURGE MAY
ACTUALLY MAX OUT 2 TO 3 FT S OF BOSTON FRI MORNING...BUT DURING
THE LOW TIDE CYCLE. SEAS JUST OFFSHORE ARE EXPECTED TO REACH ABOUT
15 FT DURING THE THU NIGHT HIGH TIDE AND 15 TO 20 FT AT THE TIME
OF THE FRI MIDDAY HIGH TIDE. THE FRIDAY MIDDAY SEAS WILL CONTAIN
LONGER PERIOD SWELLS THAT BRING MORE ENERGY TO THE SHORE.

THIS IS ALL LIKELY TO RESULT IN MINOR COASTAL FLOODING FOR THE THU
MIDDAY HIGH TIDE AND MINOR TO MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING FOR THE
THU NIGHT HIGH TIDE. AT THIS TIME FOR THE FRI MIDDAY HIGH
TIDE...WE ARE PROJECTING MINOR TO ISOLATED MODERATE COASTAL
FLOODING N OF BOSTON AND AREAS OF MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING S OF
BOSTON. THERE REMAINS A RISK...ALBEIT LOOKING LOWER THAN 24 HOURS
AGO...OF POCKETS OF MODERATE TO MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING HULL THROUGH
SANDWICH AND NANTUCKET...ESPECIALLY IF THE STORM SHOULD END UP
BEING JUST A TAD SLOWER PULLING AWAY FROM OUR COASTLINE.

ALL VULNERABLE MA E FACING SHORELINES WILL HAVE A RISK OF SOME
BEACH EROSION GIVEN THE HIGH WATER LEVELS AND WAVE ACTION OVER
SUCCESSIVE TIDES. THE AREAS OF COASTLINE PRONE TO MORE SIGNIFICANT
BEACH EROSION INCLUDE THE PLYMOUTH COUNTY COAST...N SIDE OF THE
CAPE INCLUDING SANDWICH...THE OUTER CAPE OCEAN SIDE AND THE E SIDE
OF NANTUCKET.

NOT EXPECTING ANY COASTAL FLOODING PROBLEMS ALONG THE SOUTH COAST
GIVEN WIND DIRECTION AND EXPECTED TRACK OF THE STORM.
