AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
312 PM EST FRI FEB 14 2014

...UPDATES ONLY TO THE LONG-TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST...

.SYNOPSIS...

INTENSE LOW PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE MARITIMES THIS AFTERNOON WITH
STRONG WESTERLY WINDS IN ITS WAKE. ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT WINTER
STORM WILL AFFECT MAINLY EASTERN NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY INTO
SATURDAY NIGHT. COLD AND DRY WEATHER PREVAILS LATE THIS WEEKEND
INTO MONDAY. ANOTHER STORM IS POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY
NIGHT WITH A RAIN/SNOW MIX. AN UNCERTAIN FORECAST PREVAILS INTO
THE LATE-WEEK PERIOD...THOUGH A WARMER-WETTER PATTERN IS
PREFERRED.

&&

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

LEFTOVER SNOW SHOWER BANDS...BUT JUST A BRIEF BURST OF SNOW WITH
EACH. THE LAST ON WAS MOVING THROUGH EASTERN MASS AT 10 AM.

UPPER LOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE THURSDAY STORM IS MOVING THROUGH THE
GULF OF MAINE. WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWS DRIER AIR MOVING THROUGH NYC
INTO SOUTHWEST CONNECTICUT. THIS SHOULD MOVE ACROSS THE REGION
DURING THE AFTERNOON. THIS WILL MEAN A CLEARING TREND FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE DAY.

MORNING SOUNDINGS SHOWED AN INVERSION BASE AT 850 MB WITH 35-40
KNOT WINDS BELOW THIS BASE. ALREADY SAW SOME GUSTS AROUND 35 KNOTS
WITH THE LAST SNOW SHOWERS.  WITH ANY SUNSHINE AND MIXING...WOULD
EXPECT GUSTS IN THIS RANGE DURING THE AFTERNOON. NOT CONFIDENT ON
HIGH WIND WARNING OVER THE CAPE AND ISLANDS...BUT SINCE IT IS UP
WE WILL KEEP IT UP THIS AFTERNOON. CONTINUE WIND ADVISORY SRN
NH/EASTERN AND CENTRAL MASS/RI.

LATE MORNING SURFACE TEMPS WERE ABOUT 2-4F COOLER THAN FORECAST.
WE HAVE ADJUSTED LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON TEMPS DOWN BY THIS
AMOUNT...BUT ALSO STAYED CLOSE TO ORIGINAL MAX TEMPS DUE TO
EXPECTED CLEARING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SATURDAY/...

WINDS QUICKLY DIMINISH THIS EVENING AS THE GRADIENT RELAXES. NEXT
AMPLIFYING SHORTWAVE WILL BE MOVING INTO THE SE US WITH
CYCLOGENESIS TAKING SHAPE NEAR THE NC COAST BY 12Z SAT. CLOUDS
WILL BE INCREASING DURING THE NIGHT BUT IT SHOULD REMAIN DRY WITH
SNOW HOLDING OFF UNTIL AFTER 12Z.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

*/ HIGHLIGHTS...

 - FRIGID AND MONDAY SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
 - ANOTHER STORM POTENTIAL MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT
 - AN UNCERTAIN FORECAST FOR WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND
 - ONLY CONFIDENCE LONG-TERM: A WARMER-WETTER TREND

*/ OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCE...

FAST LOW AMPLITUDE FLOW EVOLVES TOWARDS PREFERRED TROUGHING TO THE
WEST WITH RIDGING ACROSS THE EAST THROUGH THE WEEK. BUT RESERVATIONS
IN SURFACE OUTCOMES AS LIKELY INDIVIDUAL DISTURBANCES THROUGH THE
FLOW PATTERN ARE BEING POORLY HANDLED FURTHER IN TIME BY FORECAST
GUIDANCE /LET ALONE NOT EVEN BEING SAMPLED AS OF YET/. WHILE A NEAR-
NEUTRAL TREND OF THE NAO HAS PERSISTED...ENSEMBLE-MEMBER FORECAST OF
THE AO HAS WOBBLED AND FEEL THIS IS A CONSEQUENCE OF POOR-HANDLING
OF INDIVIDUAL DISTURBANCES.

WHILE AN EVOLVING WARMER PATTERN IS ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD...THE STRENGTH AND TIMING OF POTENTIAL WEATHER DISTURBANCES
REMAINS UNCERTAIN. NEVERTHELESS...THE ECMWF IS PREFERRED WITH ITS
DECENT INITIALIZATION OF SFC- AND MID-LEVEL MASS FIELDS ALBEIT THE
OBSERVED SURFACE CENTRAL PRESSURE OVER MISSOURI AND NORTH-TEXAS ARE
LOWER THAN WHAT IS MODELED.

*/ DAY-TO-DAY DETAILS...

SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...

LOW PRES BOMBING OUT NE ACROSS NOVA SCOTIA WITH A CENTRAL PRES
AROUND 970 MB /ANOMALOUS BY 3-4 STANDARD-DEVIATIONS/. SUBSEQUENT
TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT AND STRONG ISALLOBARIC COMPONENT OF THE WIND
LENDS TO WESTERLY FLOW OF 40-50 MPH 2 KFT AGL SUNDAY EVENING. IN
ADDITION TO AN EVOLVING WELL-MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER TO H9...FEEL THE
TIGHT PRES GRADIENT AND ANOMALOUS LOW WILL ALLOW FOR WESTERLY WINDS
TO REACH WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA /MAINLY EAST-SHORE ESP CAPE AND
ISLANDS/. WILL RAISE WIND GUST GUIDANCE ACCORDINGLY /ESPECIALLY IN
RETROSPECT TO THE RECENT WINTER STORM/.

ARCTIC HIGH PRES WITH DRIER AIR/SUBSIDENCE...SHOULD SEE IMPROVING
CONDITIONS WITH COLD-AIR ADVECTION PROCEEDING. TEMPS LOWERING INTO
THE SINGLE DIGITS TO BELOW-ZERO OVERNIGHT. COMBINED WITH WINDS...
EXPECTING WIND CHILL ADVISORY CRITERIA TO BE MET OVER THE N/W
INTERIOR. HIGH PRES REMAINS IN CONTROL FOR MONDAY ALLOWING WINDS
TO BECOME LIGHT/VARIABLE. SHOULD BE A NICE DAY WITH NEAR-
SEASONABLE TEMPS.

MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...

A CHALLENGING FORECAST TO SAY THE LEAST AS TIMING AND STRENGTH
DISCREPANCIES EXIST BETWEEN DETERMINISTIC AND ENSEMBLE MEANS.
PREFERENCE TO THE ECMWF...IT APPEARS MID-MS VALLEY LOW LIFTS AS IT
UNDERGOES OCCLUSION OVER THE GREAT LAKES INTO TUESDAY MORNING...
WITH REDEVELOPMENT OCCURRING LATE TUESDAY OVER SNE/GULF-OF-MAINE
AS A TRIPLE-POINT LOW.

INITIAL WARM-FRONT COLLOCATED WITH F-GEN/ISENTROPIC FORCING OF THE
WCB WILL YIELD A FRONT-END THUMP OF SNOW /ESP E-NE OF LOW CENTER/
ACROSS REMNANT ARCTIC AIR...ESPECIALLY SO IN AREAS COLLOCATED WITH
THE LFQ OF AN ATTENDANT JET STREAK. SOME UNCERTAINTY ON EVOLUTION OF
PRECIP-TYPES WITH OVERRUNNING WARM-AIR AND SOUTHERLY ONSHORE FLOW.
WILL LIKELY SEE A TRANSITION ZONE OF A WINTRY MIX TO RAIN OVER THE
INTERIOR FOR THE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING TIMEFRAME /NON-
DIURNAL TEMP TREND/.

AS THE TRIPLE-POINT LOW EMERGES...COLDER AIR DRAWN BACK INTO THE LOW
AS IT DEEPENS QUICKLY TOWARDS NOVA-SCOTIA WILL LIKELY ALLOW FOR ANY
MIXED PRECIP-TYPES TO TRANSITION BACK TO SNOW...CONCLUDING BY
WEDNESDAY MORNING. COULD SEE ANOTHER COMMA-HEAD SETUP...WITH A DRY-
SLOT IN-BETWEEN. REARWARD MESOSCALE SNOW-BANDING WEST WHILE A LACK
OF ICE IN SNOW-GROWTH REGIONS EAST /FREEZING-DRIZZLE PRECIP/.

AGAIN A CHALLENGING FORECAST AND A FIRST-GUESS. ASSOCIATED ENERGY
HAS NOT BEEN YET SAMPLED. WITH THE NEGATIVE-TILT OF THE H5 TROUGH
AND SHOULD IT TAP INTO RICH GULF-MOISTURE...THIS STORM MAY HAVE MORE
BITE THAN IS PRESENTLY BEING ADVERTISED BY THE ECMWF. IT BEARS
WATCHING AND LIKELY UP TO THE EVENT THE FORECAST WILL CHANGE.

WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND...

ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. DETERMINISTIC MODELS HAVE EXHIBITED SIGNIFICANT
RUN-TO-RUN VARIABILITY. WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST TO STAY WITH ENSEMBLE
MEANS. HANDLING OF INDIVIDUAL DISTURBANCES AMONG FORECAST GUIDANCE
GREATLY DIFFERS IN BOTH STRENGTH AND TIMING. ONLY CONFIDENCE IS THAT
TROUGHING SHOULD EVOLVE ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS WITH RIDGING TO THE
EAST ALLOWING FOR A WARMER-WETTER PATTERN. LONG-TERM FCST GUIDANCE
BOTH SIGNAL AN INTENSIFYING STORM OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS LIFTING
NORTH INTO THE HUDSON BAY REGION ALONG AND AHEAD OF WHICH WARM AIR
WILL SURGE NORTH INTO SNE PRIOR TO THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. WILL
PROCEED WITH A CONSENSUS WEIGHTED BLEND OF ENSEMBLE MEAN GUIDANCE.
