AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1006 PM EST WED FEB 26 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
AN ARCTIC FRONT WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS AND SQUALLS
THURSDAY AFTERNOON FOLLOWED BY BITTER COLD THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY WITH WIND CHILLS DROPPING WELL BELOW ZERO. A SIGNIFICANT
WINTER STORM MAY AFFECT OUR REGION SOMETIME LATE SUNDAY INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
10 PM UPDATE...
STILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT. CLEAR SKIES
AND DIMINISHING WINDS ARE ESTABLISHING NEAR PERFECT RADIATIONAL
COOLING CONDITIONS. ONGOING FORECAST IS TRENDING WELL WITH HOURLY
TRENDS...SO DO NOT SEE THE NEED TO ALTER THE CURRENT FORECAST
MINIMUM TEMPERATURES JUST YET. MAINLY MADE SOME TWEAKS TO NEAR
TERM FORECAST TO IMPROVE THE ALIGNMENT WITH OBSERVED TRENDS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
LAST OF THE SNOW SHOWERS MOVING EAST FROM LONG ISLAND WILL PASS
MOSTLY SOUTH OF THE ISLANDS. OTHERWISE CLEARING SKIES AND
DIMINISHING WIND EXPECTED THIS EVENING AS HIGH PRES MOVES INTO THE
REGION. SOME MID/HIGH CLOUDS MAY SPILL INTO NORTHERN ZONES
OVERNIGHT AS NEXT SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE GT LAKES. ANOTHER
VERY COLD NIGHT WITH LOW TEMPS NEAR ZERO NW MA AND SW NH AND
MOSTLY SINGLE NUMBERS ELSEWHERE...EXCEPT LOWER TEENS ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
THURSDAY...
YET ANOTHER NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE WILL BE MOVING INTO NEW
ENGLAND DURING THE AFTERNOON. THIS SHORTWAVE IS STRONGER AND MORE
AMPLIFIED THAN TODAY/S AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY AN ARCTIC FROPA.
VERY STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES DEVELOP NEARING DRY ADIABATIC
FROM 1000-700 MB. THE MAIN LIMITATION FOR SNOW SQUALLS WILL BE
MOISTURE AVAILABILITY AS PWATS ARE QUITE LOW AGAIN TOMORROW BUT
THE COLUMN MOISTENS UP BELOW 700 MB. GIVEN A STRONGER SHORTWAVE
AND ACCOMPANYING ARCTIC FRONT THINK THERE WILL BE A GREATER
COVERAGE OF SNOW SHOWERS WITH A FEW SQUALLS AND HIRES MODELS
SUPPORT THIS CLAIM. STILL THINKING ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE AN INCH
OR LESS...BUT UP TO 2 INCHES WHERE ANY HEAVIER SQUALLS DEVELOP.
GUSTY W/SW WINDS WILL DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON SHIFTING TO NW
LATER IN THE DAY AFTER FROPA.

THURSDAY NIGHT...
A FEW LINGERING FLURRIES OR SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE EARLY...THEN
CLEARING SKIES. ARCTIC FRONT MOVES OFFSHORE FOLLOWED BY STRONG
COLD AIR ADVECTION WITH 850 MB TEMPS DROPPING TO -20 TO -22C BY
12Z FRI. THIS WILL RESULT IN GUSTY NW WINDS TO 25-30 KT WITH TEMPS
DROPPING TO NEAR ZERO NW MA AND SW NH AND MOSTLY SINGLE NUMBERS
ELSEWHERE. WIND CHILL ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED IN THE
INTERIOR HIGH TERRAIN WHERE WIND CHILLS LATE THU NIGHT AND FRI
MORNING MAY REACH 15 TO 20 BELOW ZERO. ELSEWHERE WIND CHILLS WILL
DROP TO ZERO TO 10 BELOW. VERY IMPRESSIVE FOR THIS LATE IN THE
WINTER SEASON.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
*/ HIGHLIGHTS...

 - UNSEASONABLY COLD TEMPERATURES PREVAIL THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST
 - LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS MAINLY SUNDAY
 - A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM APPEARS LIKELY AROUND MONDAY

OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCES...
LONG TERM PERIOD CONTINUES TO BE DEFINED MAINLY BY HUDSON BAY
POLAR VORTEX AND ITS LONGWAVE TROF EXTENSION...WHICH WILL REMAIN
IN PLACE THROUGH NEXT WEEK. THE DAILY SENSIBLE WX DETAILS WILL BE
DEFINED BY A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES MOVING THROUGH CONFLUENT AND
NEAR ZONAL FLOW AT THE BASE OF THIS TROF. WHILE THERE SOME SPATIAL
AND TEMPORAL ISSUES WITH EACH OF THESE TROFS WHICH WILL NEED TO BE
RESOLVED...CONSIDERING THE 26.12Z GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO HAVE A
GOOD SYNOPTIC HANDLE ON THE VORTEX AND OTHER LARGE SCALE
FEATURES...CONFIDENCE IS HIGH IN A PERIOD OF BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES. A POSITIVE NAO IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CYCLONICALLY
CURVED ZONAL FLOW ACROSS THE NE ALSO SUGGEST A RELATIVELY
PROGRESSIVE STORM TRACK...SO EXPECT A SERIES OF THESE WAVES TO
EFFECT THE REGION.

THE STRONGEST OF THESE WAVES CONTINUE TO SHOW AS A POTENTIAL
PHASING OF A SRN AND NRN STREAM SHORTWAVE FOR THE SUN NIGHT INTO
MON TIMEFRAME. THE ISSUE OF PHASING IS ONE THAT WILL TAKE SOME
TIME TO RESOLVE...AS THE PREV FORECASTER NOTED THE SRN STREAM WAVE
IS STILL CURRENTLY S OF THE ALEUTIANS WHILE THE NRN STREAM IS WELL
N OF 60N. SO SAMPLING IS STILL LIMITED AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...DO
AGREE THAT CONFIDENCE IS A BIT HIGHER THAT A WINTER STORM WILL
EFFECT THE REGION FOR LATE SUN NIGHT INTO MON GIVEN THE EXPECTED
STORM TRACK. THE KEY WILL NOT ONLY BE THE POTENTIAL PHASING /OR
LACK THEREOF/ BUT WHERE EXACTLY A STALLED FRONT AND ARCTIC HIGH
PRES SET UP. THE 12Z ECMWF HAS SHIFTED FURTHER INLAND WHICH IS
PHASING TOO EARLY FOR SRN NEW ENGLAND...WHILE THE GFS NEVER DOES
FULLY PHASE AND ALLOWS A SERIES OF WAVES TO LEAD TO A PROLONGED
SNOW EVENT. ENSEMBLES SUPPORT EITHER SIDE. SO IN OTHER
WORDS...UNTIL THE WAVES ARE BETTER SAMPLED IT/S TOO EARLY TO CALL.
WILL BLEND THE GFS /COLDER...SUPPRESSED/ AND THE ECMWF /WARMER
MORE AMPLIFIED/ TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT EITHER EXTREMES OF THE
ENVELOPE...BUT BLENDED WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. THIS ADDS A BIT
MORE WEIGHT TO THE SUPPRESSED/COLDER SOLUTION. AS MENTIONED ABOVE
THE POSITIVE NAO AND AND MEAN STORM TRACK WOULD FAVOR THE MORE
SUPPRESSED AND PROGRESSIVE TRACK...BUT IT WOULD TAKE ONLY A
SLIGHT N ADJUSTMENT TO REACH THE DETERMINISTIC ECMWF SOLUTION.

DETAILS...

FRI INTO SAT...
MAINLY DRY THIS PERIOD OF THE FORECAST AS ARCTIC HIGH PRES
SETTLES OVER THE REGION FRI NIGHT...THEN MOVES E ON SAT. NW FLOW
AND SLIGHT COLD ADVECTION FRI WILL KEEP H85 TEMPS AROUND
-20C...SO EXPECT THAT TEMPS COULD HOLD IN THE TEENS TO LOW
20S...BUT IT WILL BE BATTLING A LATE FEB SUN ANGLE...SO
POTENTIALLY A BIT WARMER THAN CURRENT MOS SUGGESTS. FRI NIGHT MASS
FIELDS SHOW ENOUGH OF A SLACKENING OF THE PRES GRADIENT AND PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES SUGGESTING THE POTENTIAL FOR RADIATIONAL COOLING...SO
WILL LEAN A BIT LOWER THAN MODEL TEMPS. BY SAT...RETURN FLOW
DEVELOPS WITH INCREASING CLOUDS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING FRONT WELL
TO THE N. AT THIS TIME THE BULK OF THE ENERGY FROM THIS FRONT
LOOKS LIKE IT REMAINS TO THE N UNTIL SAT NIGHT...SO WILL SUGGEST A
WARMER...BUT MAINLY DRY DAY.

SUN INTO MON NIGHT...
AS MENTIONED ABOVE...THERE IS INCREASING CONFIDENCE OF A
POTENTIAL WINTER STORM. IT BEGINS WITH A COLD FRONT WHICH WILL SAG
S ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THE DAY SUN. MODEST MID LVL F-GEN WILL
COMBINE WITH INCREASING LOW-MID LVL MOISTURE TO YIELD SOME LIGHT
SNOWS DURING THE DAY...SETTLING OFF THE S COAST SUN NIGHT. A FEW
SPOTS OF RAIN MAY MIX IN S OF THE MASS PIKE AS RETURN FLOW AND
WARM ADVECTION MAY YIELD SOME SFC TEMPS A FEW DEGREES ABOVE
FREEZING BY SUN AFTERNOON.

IT IS WHERE THIS FRONT STALLS THAT MAY HELP TO DEFINE EXACTLY HOW
CLOSE ANY WAVES OF LOW PRES APPROACH SRN NEW ENGLAND. GIVEN WE ARE
GIVING SLIGHT WEIGHT TO THE GFS SOLUTION THIS RUN...SUSPECT THE
LOW PRES WILL REMAIN FURTHER OFFSHORE FOR THE DAY MON BUT WITH
DECENT WARM CONVEYOR AND QPF AXIS WRAPPING TO THE N...EFFECTING
MUCH OF SRN NEW ENGLAND. THIS COULD BE A PROLONGED EVENT...IF IT
IS THE SUPPRESSED SOLUTION...AS IT WOULD BE A SERIES OF
SHORTWAVES WITH CONTINUOUS BANDING OF SNOW ESPECIALLY FOR CT/RI
AND SRN MA. THE ECMWF SOLUTION IS HARDER HITTING AND FASTER MOVING
BUT WOULD BRING MORE SNOW TO INTERIOR MA AND SRN NH. WILL MAINTAIN
LIKELY POPS GIVEN THE RISING CONFIDENCE...WITH DEFERENCE TOWARD
THE COLDER SOLUTION...SUGGESTING LESS CHANCE FOR RAIN/ICE TO MIX
IN. AS MENTIONED IN THE MODEL DISCUSSION ABOVE...WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR AS THE SHORTWAVES INVOLVED BECOME BETTER SAMPLED. THIS
COULD BE A MODERATE-HIGH IMPACT EVENT FOR SOME AREAS OF SRN NEW
ENGLAND...AFFECTING AT LEAST TWO /IF NOT 3 IF THE GFS SERIES OF
WAVES VERIFIES/ SUCCESSIVE COMMUTES.

TUE INTO MID NEXT WEEK...
LONGWAVE TROF REMAINS IN CONTROL WITH DRAW OF CP AIRMASS INTO NEW
ENGLAND. IT APPEARS A STRONG HIGH PRES WILL ATTEMPT TO MOVE IN
BEHIND THE LOW PRES /OR SERIES OF LOW PRES/ FOR EARLY IN THE WEEK.
SO AT THIS POINT WILL LEAN DRY AND BELOW NORMAL FOR TEMPS...BUT
GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY OF INITIAL SHORTWAVES MOVING THROUGH THE
PROGRESSIVE FLOW REGIME FOR SUN-MON...NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION MORE
ARE TO FOLLOW FOR MID WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...

OVERNIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
VFR. NW WINDS DIMINISH OVERNIGHT...THEN SHIFT TO SW /BUT REMAIN
