AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
352 AM EST FRI JAN 24 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ARCTIC COLD TEMPERATURES AND DRY CONDITIONS CONTINUE TODAY. BY
TONIGHT CONDITIONS BEGIN TO MODERATE TOWARDS SEASONABLE LEVELS. A
COLD FRONT BRINGS SNOW SHOWERS ON SATURDAY FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER
SURGE OF ARCTIC AIR. A FAST MOVING ALBERTA CLIPPER BRINGS LIGHT
SNOW SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY FOLLOWED BY MORE CHILLY AIR.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
MAINLY SKC CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING BUT DESPITE
THIS...PRES RISES ONLY JUST SHY OF A MB PER HOUR HAVE ALLOWED
WINDS TO REMAIN ELEVATED. WHILE THIS HAS KEPT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES
UP...THE WIND SPEEDS ARE STILL LEADING TO WIND CHILLS IN THE MID
TEENS. WILL ALLOW THE CURRENT WIND CHILL ADVISORY TO STAND AS
TIMING/LOCATIONS LOOK GOOD.

OTHERWISE...THESE MAINLY CLEAR /SAVE FOR SOME OCEAN EFFECT CLOUDS
MOSTLY OFFSHORE/ CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST UNDER DRY RIDGE OF HIGH
PRES WHICH WILL CREST OVER THE REGION TODAY. H85 TEMPS DIPPING
DOWN TO AROUND -20C WILL KEEP HIGH TEMPS SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY
/TEENS TO LOW 20S/ DESPITE GOOD MIXING AND WITH WINDS REMAINING
UP THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE DAY WIND CHILLS WILL CONTINUE REMAIN IN
THE SINGLE DIGITS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
TONIGHT...
RIDGE OF HIGH PRES SLIDES E OF THE REGION ALLOWING FOR SLY RETURN
FLOW TO DEVELOP. THIS WILL COINCIDE WITH INCREASING MID LVL
MOISTURE...DIFFLUENT FLOW AHEAD OF CYCLONIC CURVED 300 HPA
JET...AND AN H92-H85 LLJ AROUND 45 KT BY 12Z TO ALLOW FOR
GRADUALLY INCREASING CLOUDS INITIALLY. WITH INCREASING CLOUDS AND
WARM ADVECTION WITHIN STACKED LOW LVL RETURN FLOW...LIKELY SEE A
NON-DIURNAL TEMP TREND OVERNIGHT WITH MINS ONLY DIPPING TO THE
MID-UPPER SINGLE DIGITS EARLY BEFORE GRADUALLY RISING THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. THIS WILL PRECLUDE THE NEED FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF
WIND CHILL ADVISORIES.

THE OTHER ISSUE AD HAND IS THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT FROM
ATTENDANT LOW PRES MOVING FROM THE OH VALLEY. THE COMBINATION OF
ISENTROPIC LIFT AND MOISTURE LOADING OF THE COLUMN COULD ALLOW FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOME EARLY MORNING SHSN...PARTICULARLY IN THE W
CLOSER TO THE APPROACHING UPPER JET STREAK AND WHERE UPPER LVL
DIFLUENCE IS MAXIMIZED. DELAYED POPS UNTIL CLOSER TO SUNRISE
HOWEVER AS THE LOWER COLUMN WILL REMAIN DRY WITH DWPTS STILL
HOVERING AROUND 0F.  ANY ACCUMS BY DAYBREAK SHOULD BE LIGHT.

SATURDAY...
COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO APPROACH FROM THE W AS IT/S ATTENDANT LOW
PRES SLIDES INTO QUEBEC. CONTINUED WARM ADVECTION AND ROBUST 2KFT
SLY LLJ AROUND 50 KT WILL ENHANCE THE THREAT FOR -SHSN THROUGH THE
DAY FROM W TO E. THEREFORE...DESPITE THE COLD/DRY SOUNDINGS TO
START...CONDITIONS LOOK GOOD FOR SHSN ACROSS THE
REGION...INCREASING IN NUMBER THROUGH THE DAY. TOTAL MOISTURE IN
THE COLUMN IS LOW...BUT AM NOTING POCKETS OF DECENT OMEGA WITHIN
THE SNOW GROWTH REGIME AND WITH TEMPS STARTING IN THE TEENS AND
20S...RATIOS MAY BE A BIT HIGHER THAN THE STANDARD 10 TO 1.
THEREFORE...WHILE THE BULK OF ANY ACCUMULATIONS WITHIN THESE
SHOWERS SHOULD BE ONLY AROUND AN INCH OR TWO...NOT ENTIRELY OUT OF THE
QUESTION TOTALS APPROACH ADVISORY LVLS. FEEL THAT THE BEST CHANCE
WILL BE IN THE W...WHERE UPSLOPE/DYNAMICS ARE COINCIDENT AND TEMPS
WILL BE COLDER SUPPORTING HIGHER RATIOS. SOME OF THESE SHSN COULD
COME IN THE FORM OF SQUALLS AS SOME OF THE HIGH MOMENTUM ALOFT IS
MIXED TO THE SFC...LEADING TO BRIEF REDUCTIONS IN VSBY AND QUICK
ACCUMS.

IN THE E...CLOSE TO THE CAPE COD CANAL INCLUDING THE
CAPE/ISLANDS...TEMPS MAY ACTUALLY WARM SUCH THAT EVEN THE WET BULB
IS ABOVE FREEZING IN THE AFTERNOON...SUGGESTING THAT SOME OF THESE
SHOWERS COULD FALL IN THE FORM OF RAIN.

SPEAKING OF TEMPS...ALMOST A 15-20F SWING IN HIGHS IN COMPARISON
TO FRI...THANKS TO THE WARM ADVECTION AND STRONG SLY LLJ. HIGHS
RANGE FROM THE UPPER MID 20S TO NEAR 40 IN EXTREME SE MA.

ONE FINAL NOTE...WITH WINDS NEAR 50 KT AROUND H85 /WHERE TEMPS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE ROUND -6C/ AND SST REMAINING CLOSE TO +5C STEEP
NEAR SFC LAPSE RATES AROUND THE CAPE AND ISLANDS MAY SUPPORT A
BULK OF THIS JET MIXING DOWN. THEREFORE...MAY NEED TO WATCH FOR
WIND ADVISORIES FOR SAT AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
BIG PICTURE...

A BROAD...DEEP UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN USA WITH ITS CENTER
SLIPPING SOUTH TO JAMES BAY. THIS CENTER WITH TIME MOVES EAST ACROSS
QUEBEC THIS WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK...BEFORE RETREATING BACK
NORTH THROUGH LABRADOR MIDWEEK. THE FLOW OVER THE USA BECOMES MORE
ZONAL AT THAT TIME. THE WEEKEND/EARLY WEEK POSITIONING OF THE UPPER
TROUGH SUGGESTS ANOTHER PERIOD OF VERY COLD AIR MOVING INTO NEW
ENGLAND THROUGH TUESDAY...BEFORE MODIFYING LATE IN THE PERIOD.  ONE
SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...A SECOND ON MONDAY.  A
SHORTWAVE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY SHOULD RESULT IN A LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPING OVER THE OCEAN.  THE QUESTION WILL BE HOW CLOSE DOES IT
STAY TO THE COAST.

MODELS...UPPER LEVEL FLOW PATTERNS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH
TUESDAY. THIS AGREEMENT BREAKS DOWN AS THE FLOW GOES ZONAL AND
TIMING ISSUES START TO DEVELOP. SURFACE FEATURES ALSO IN AGREEMENT
EARLY ON WITH A COLD FRONT CROSSING NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY NIGHT AND A
CLIPPER LOW CROSSING NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND MONDAY. WE USED A BLEND OF
MODEL FIELDS THROUGH THE PERIOD.

THE DAILIES...

SATURDAY NIGHT...DEEP MOISTURE AND DECENT SYNOPTIC SUPPORT IS
EXPECTED AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. THIS COLD FRONT SHOULD CROSS
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BEFORE MIDNIGHT SUNDAY. THE COMBINATION SHOULD
RESULT IN SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS FOR MOST. SOUTH FLOW WILL BRING
MILDER AIR NORTH...AT LEAST ENOUGH TO CHANGE THE SNOW TO RAIN ALONG
THE SOUTH COAST AND ISLANDS. STRONG SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS JUST
OFF THE GROUND. THE GFS SHOWS 50 KNOTS AT 950 MB AND THE ECMWF SHOWS
40-45 KNOTS...MOSTLY OVER RI AND EASTERN MASS.  THIS MAY SUPPORT
STRONG WIND GUSTS ESPECIALLY ALONG THE SOUTH COAST AND THE ISLANDS.
LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED FROM ANY SNOW SHOWERS.

DRIER COLDER AIR MOVE IN AFTER MIDNIGHT.

SUNDAY...A WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION...BRING A
BRIEF DRY PERIOD.

SUNDAY NIGHT-MONDAY...AN ALBERTA CLIPPER THEN APPROACHES FROM THE
WEST WITH INCREASING CLOUDS. AS THE UPPER SHORTWAVE DIGS OVER THE
GREAT LAKES...THE UPPER FLOW WILL AGAIN TURN SOUTHWEST AND DRAW SOME
MOISTURE NORTH. JET DYNAMICS BETWEEN 850 MB AND 300 MB WILL ALSO
SUPPORT LIFT ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT AND CONTINUING INTO MONDAY.
SO THIS SYSTEM SHOULD ALSO SUPPORT SNOW SHOWERS WITH POTENTIAL FOR A
LIGHT ACCUMULATION FROM ANY SHOWERS.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS A LITTLE WITH
CONTINUED COLD TEMPERATURES.  OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS OFFSHORE
TUESDAY WILL DIMINISH ALONG WITH THE WINDS.  THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR
A THIRD SHORTWAVE TO APPROACH WEDNESDAY AND INDUCE A WAVE ALONG THE
CAROLINA COAST. QUESTION WILL BE HOW CLOSE IT COMES TO NEW
ENGLAND...AND THE RESULTING CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION. WE STILL THINK
THIS LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN FARTHER OFFSHORE.  WE DID INTRODUCE A
CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION TO THE CAPE AND ISLANDS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY TO COVER THIS POSSIBILITY.

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL LINGER FOR MUCH OF THE WATERS
/ESPECIALLY OCEAN WATERS/ THROUGH TODAY. ALTHOUGH WITH WINDS
SLACKENING OFF THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AND SEAS
DIMINISHING...THERE MAY BE A BRIEF LULL IN BOATING WEATHER DURING
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. DURING THE DAY SATURDAY...STRONG SOUTHERLY
FLOW WILL LEAD TO GALE FORCE WINDS FOR MUCH OF THE DAY AND FOR
MOST OF THE WATERS. THEREFORE...WILL BE ISSUING GALE WARNINGS WITH
THIS UPDATE FOR THIS THREAT. ALTHOUGH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVEL
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TODAY UNDER BRISK W FLOW AND DIMINISHING
SWELL THE GALE WARNING WILL TAKE PRECEDENCE.

RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL LEAD TO VSBY REDUCTIONS DURING THE DAY
SAT...AND THE STRONGEST WINDS MAY ACTUALLY OCCUR WITH ANY OF THESE
SHOWERS.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

SATURDAY NIGHT...A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE WATERS DURING THE
EVENING...WITH A WIND SHIFT TO WEST. MODERATE PROBABILITY OF GALE
FORCE WIND GUSTS...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE SOUTH COASTAL WATERS.
SCATTERED RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD MOVE IN AHEAD OF THIS COLD FRONT.
VERY COLD AIR WILL BE DRAWN IN BY THOSE WEST WINDS...GENERATING
FREEZING SPRAY AND OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS...MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT.

SUNDAY...WINDS GUSTS OF 25-30 KNOTS CONTINUE SUNDAY.  SEAS WILL
DIMINISH BUT REMAIN 5-10 FEET ON THE OUTER WATERS AND RI SOUND. COLD
AIR OVER THE WATERS WILL MEAN CONTINUED FREEZING SPRAY.

SUNDAY NIGHT-MONDAY...ALBERTA CLIPPER RACES EAST FROM THE GREAT
LAKES WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS INCREASING...GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS EXPECTED.
THIS WILL BUILD SEAS AGAIN WITH 8-12 FOOT WAVE HEIGHTS.  CONDITIONS
DIMINISH MONDAY NIGHT BUT OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD DEVELOP
ACROSS THE OUTER COASTAL WATERS.

TUESDAY...WINDS BELOW 25 KNOTS.  SEAS LINGER AT 5 FEET ON THE OUTER
WATERS BUT SLOWLY DIMINISHING.
