AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
307 PM EST MON DEC 8 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A SIGNIFICANT COASTAL STORM WILL IMPACT THE REGION TUESDAY WITH
HEAVY RAIN...STRONG WINDS AND PERIOD OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION.
LEFTOVER LIGHT SNOW AND RAIN SHOWERS WILL PERSIST WED AND THU.
SLOW IMPROVEMENT IS EXPECTED FRIDAY AND INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
115 PM UPDATE... AREA OF OCEAN EFFECT SNOW FLURRIES/SHOWERS
CONTINUE TO MOVE ONSHORE ACROSS E MA...REACHING INTO E RI THROUGH
18Z...THOUGH LOOKS LIKE THIS AREA MAY BE WEAKENING AS MILDER TEMPS
WORKING FROM CAPE COD AND MASS BAY WITH WIND BECOMING MORE
EASTERLY. ALSO NOTING ANOTHER AREA OF OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS
MOVING IN FROM THE E ACROSS E LONG ISLAND WITH REPORTS OF -SN FROM
KISP EASTWARD. SHARP TEMP GRADIENT REMAINS IN PLACE WITH STUBBORN
N WINDS INLAND AND E-NE ACROSS SE MA...MAINLY E OF THE RIDGE AXIS
RUNNING FROM SW ME THROUGH CENTRAL-W MA INTO N NJ/E PA WHICH IS
NOT BUDGING... ALLOWING FOR THE COLD AIR DAMMING TO HOLD STRONG.
GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE TIGHT TEMP GRADIENT...TEMP AT KBOX SITTING AT
25 DEGS WHILE ONLY 8 MILES SE...KTAN...READING IS UP TO 34 DEGS AT
18Z.

LOW CLOUDS HAVE WORKED WWD TO THE BERKSHIRES AND INTO SE NY AT
18Z. STILL HAVE LARGE TEMP/DEWPT SPREADS IN PLACE ACROSS CENTRAL
AND WESTERN AREAS. SHORT RANGE MODELS NOT HANDLING TEMPS WELL WITH
A SEVERAL DEGREE WARM BIAS SO HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED TO BRING
CONDITIONS CURRENT.

WILL EVENTUALLY SEE THE RIDGE SHIFT WWD AND AS THE LOW TAKES
SHAPE OFF THE SE U.S. COAST AS THE H5 SHORT WAVE ROTATES INTO THE
LOW LEVEL SYSTEM ALLOWING FOR DEEPENING TONIGHT.

HAVE ADJUSTED REMAINDER OF FORECAST TO BRING CONDITIONS CURRENT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
UPDATED AT 310 PM...

BASED UPON 12Z MODELS AND COLLABORATION WITH WPC/NEIGHBORING
OFFICES....WE ARE MAKING THE FOLLOWING CHANGES TO HEADLINES. MORE
DETAILS WILL FOLLOW IN A BIT...

WINTER STORM WATCH...
LEAVING WATCH IN PLACE FOR WESTERN FRANKLIN AND WESTERN HAMPSHIRE
COUNTIES IN MA DUE TO CONTINUED UNCERTAINTY IN SNOWFALL TOTALS.
THERE IS LIKELY TO BE A SHARP GRADIENT FROM HEAVY SNOW TO LITTLE
ACCUMULATION...AND IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT GRADIENT ENDS UP
ACROSS NW MA. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW NEARLY ISOTHERMAL PROFILE
WHICH COULD EITHER SUGGEST COLD RAIN OR HEAVY WET SNOW DEPENDING
ON INTENSITY. HOW QUICKLY COLD AIR RETREATS IS STILL IN QUESTION
SO WE PREFER TO LEAVE WATCH IN PLACE FOR THESE TWO ZONES AND ALLOW
LATER SHIFTS TO GET A BETTER LOOK.

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY...
WE ARE MORE CONFIDENT THAT AREAS ADJACENT TO ZONES ABOVE WILL SEE
SOME ACCUMULATION AND LIGHT ICING BEFORE EVENTUAL CHANGE TO RAIN
LATER TUE. SO WE CONVERTED THE OTHER ZONES PREVIOUSLY IN WATCH TO
AN ADVISORY WHERE OUR CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER.

WE ALSO ISSUED ADVISORIES AS FAR S AND E AS I-95 CORRIDOR FROM
PROVIDENCE TO BOSTON DUE TO POSSIBILITY OF LIGHT ICING FROM
FREEZING DRIZZLE THIS EVENING...AS WELL AS POTENTIAL FOR LIGHT
FREEZING RAIN AT ONSET OF PRECIPITATION EARLY TUE MORNING.
CERTAINLY BETTER CHANCES FOR LATTER ARE ACROSS INTERIOR IN N
CT AND CENTRAL/NE MA.

HIGH WIND WATCH...
KEPT WATCH IN PLACE FOR EASTERN MA WHERE UNCERTAINTY IN WIND GUSTS
REMAINS. WHILE WE ARE MORE CONFIDENT IN ADVISORY-LEVEL GUSTS...
THERE IS STILL POTENTIAL FOR A FEW LOCATIONS TO REACH 50KT OR
HIGHER. SINCE PEAK OF STORM WILL NOT OCCUR UNTIL LATE TUE
AFTERNOON WE PREFER TO HOLD ONTO WATCH FOR THESE AREAS FOR NOW.

WIND ADVISORY...
WE HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE IN STAYING WITHIN ADVISORY CRITERIA ALONG
S COAST OF RI/MA SO WATCH HAS BEEN CONVERTED THERE. WE ALSO
INCLUDED GREATER BOSTON AREA TO BETTER ALIGN WITH HEADLINES ACROSS
REST OF EASTERN MA.

EARLIER DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...
*** POWERFUL STORM TO IMPACT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND LATE TONIGHT
 INTO TUESDAY NIGHT ***

OVERVIEW...

MODELS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT ON THE TRACK OF THIS
UPCOMING STORM. THERE ARE STILL MANY CRUCIAL DETAILS TO BE
RESOLVED...WHICH WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE FORECAST. AT
THE TOP OF THE LIST...THERMAL PROFILES. THE 08/00Z GFS CONTINUES
TO BE ALONG THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE SOLUTION ENVELOPE...WITH THE
08/00Z CANADIAN THE FASTEST. THERE HAS BEEN A SLIGHT EASTWARD
TREND BETWEEN THE 08/00Z ECMWF AND ITS 12Z RUN. WHILE THIS WOULD
MEAN A SLIGHTLY COLDER SOLUTION...AM STILL THINKING THIS IS MAINLY
A RAIN EVENT FOR MOST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. STAYED CLOSE TO THE
CONSENSUS TRACK FOR THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST.

STRONG WINDS...

GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT AMONG THE LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE THERE WILL BE
AN EAST-SOUTHEAST LOW LEVEL JET OF 50-70 KT TUESDAY MORNING AND
AFTERNOON. GIVEN THE LOW TRACK IS WEST/SOUTHWEST OF NEW ENGLAND
THE 925 MB JET IS MORE OF AN EAST-SOUTHEAST JET...NOT THE TYPICAL
COLDER/DENSE NORTHEAST AIRSTREAM ASSOCIATED WITH COASTAL STORMS
IN NEW ENGLAND. THIS RESULTS IN WEAK LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES.

NAM AND GFS BUFR SOUNDINGS CORROBORATE THIS WITH LIMITED BOUNDARY
LAYER MIXING. HOWEVER BOTH MODELS INDICATE 50 KTS AS LOW AS 1 KFT.
THIS COMBINED WITH STRONG PRESSURE FALLS MOVING ACROSS SOUTHEAST
MA /ISALLOBARIC WIND COMPONENT/ WILL YIELD A MODERATE RISK OF VERY
STRONG TO PERHAPS DAMAGING WINDS MAINLY ACROSS CAPE ANN...CAPE
COD AND THE ISLANDS TUE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. BASED ON LATEST
GUIDANCE...WILL EXPAND THE HIGH WIND WATCH TO ALL OF THE MA SOUTH
COAST AND SOUTHERN RI. ELSEWHERE IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...WINDS
NOT AS STRONG.

HEAVY RAINFALL...

THE 08/00Z MODELS REMAIN PROGRESSIVE WITH WARM CONVEYOR BELT
PRECIPITATION FLYING NORTHWARD INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND TUE
NIGHT. THUS OUR REGION MAY BE LIMITED TO 8-12 HRS OF HEAVY
PRECIPITATION...WITH A DRY SLOT QUICKLY OVERSPREADING CT/RI/MA
TUE EVENING. THERE IS AN OUTSIDE SHOT AT CONVECTION ACCOMPANYING
THIS STORM...WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS.
ISSUED A FLOOD WATCH FOR AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE MA PIKE...AS
WELL AS NORTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS...TO COVER THIS POTENTIAL.

IF CURRENT TIMING HOLDS UP...THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL WOULD OCCUR
DURING THE LATE DAY TUE COMMUTE. IN FACT MUCH OF THE GUIDANCE IS
SHOWING 6HR RAINFALL FROM 1 PM TO 7 PM TUE OF 1.50-1.75 INCHES.
THUS HIGHER PROBABILITY OF URBAN/POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

COASTAL FLOODING...

SEE TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING SECTION BELOW.

WINTRY PRECIP...

AS MENTIONED BEFORE...THERMAL PROFILES WILL BE CRUCIAL TO THE
DETAILS OF THIS FORECAST. CONSIDERING UNCERTAINTY...THOUGHT IT
BEST TO HOIST A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND
NORTH CENTRAL MA. CURRENT SNOWFALL FORECASTS DO NOT SUPPORT SUCH A
WATCH...BUT ENSEMBLE SPREAD DOES. IT WOULD ONLY TAKE A COLDER
SOLUTION BY 1-2C TO SIGNIFICANTLY ALTER SNOW ACCUMULATIONS...
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. EVEN IN THESE AREAS...
EXPECTING AT LEAST SOME RAINFALL TO OCCUR BY LATE TUESDAY...WHICH
WOULD CUT DOWN ON SNOW ACCUMULATION. IT WOULD ALSO MAKE ANY SNOW
WHICH DOES FALL HEAVIER.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
UPDATED 310 PM MON...

HIGHLIGHTS...
 * LEFTOVER RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS INTO THU AS CLOSED LOW SLOWLY EXITS
 * IMPROVING CONDITIONS FRI AND INTO WEEKEND

EFFECTS INTO WEEKEND.

SLOW IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES WITH DIMINISHING WINDS AND SEAS. SHOULD
FINALLY DROP BELOW 5 FT ON OUTER WATERS FRI AFTERNOON.

.HYDROLOGY...
UPDATED 310 PM MON...

STORM TOTAL RAINFALL OF 2 TO 3 INCHES EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF
REGION THROUGH WED MORNING. MAIN CONCERN IS FOR SIGNIFICANT URBAN
FLOODING...ESPECIALLY NEAR I-95 CORRIDOR FROM PROVIDENCE TO BOSTON
WHICH INCLUDES MORE FLOOD PRONE AREAS OF NEW BEDFORD...FALL RIVER
AND PEABODY.

LATEST NERFC GUIDANCE BRINGS LOWER CT RIVER AT MIDDLE HADDAM TO
ACTION STAGE...WHICH IS PRIMARILY BASED ON SURGE OF 2 FT INTO
LOWER CT RIVER. WE MAY ALSO SEE SIMILAR SURGE ALONG PAWCATUCK
RIVER NEAR WESTERLY RI WHICH COULD BRING RISES SLIGHTLY HIGHER
THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
WE WENT AHEAD AND ISSUED A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY FOR THE EASTERN MA
COAST FOR THE TUESDAY MIDDAY HIGH TIDE CYCLE.  APPEARS WINDS/SEAS
WILL BE RAMPING UP AS THE TUE MIDDAY HIGH TIDE APPROACHES.  THIS A
RESULT OF INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE MID ATLANTIC LIFTING
TOWARDS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT INCREASES
SHOULD SEE NORTHEAST WIND GUSTS OF 40 TO 50 MPH DEVELOP TOWARDS THE
TUE MIDDAY HIGH TIDE.  STORM SURGE GUIDANCE APPEARS SLOW TO CATCH
ON...SO INCREASED IT SOME AND EXPECT A 2+ FOOT STORM SURGE DURING
THE HIGH TIDE.  THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO RESULT IN MINOR COASTAL
FLOODING ALONG WITH SOME MINOR BEACH EROSION ACROSS THE EASTERN MA
COAST.  SEAS MAY EVENTUALLY COME UP TO 20 FEET ACROSS OUR EASTERN
WATERS...BUT THIS SHOULD BE SEVERAL HOURS AFTER THE HIGH TIDE.  THAT
IS WHY WE EXPECT MAINLY MINOR COASTAL FLOODING...AS OPPOSED TO A
MORE SIGNIFICANT EVENT.

WERE NOT REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LATE TUESDAY NIGHT OR WEDNESDAY
HIGH TIDES CAUSING PROBLEMS.  PRESSURE GRADIENT/WINDS WEAKEN AND
ASTRONOMICAL TIDES CONTINUE TO LOWER.
