AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
413 AM EST FRI DEC 5 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES TO THE MARITIMES TODAY. A WARM FRONT WILL
BRING A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIP TO THE INTERIOR TONIGHT...WITH RAIN
SATURDAY. DRY WEATHER SUNDAY. THEN THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR A
COASTAL LOW TO BRING ANOTHER SHOT OF WINTRY WEATHER EARLY IN THE
WORK WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE MARITIMES TODAY...WITH A DEVELOPING
EASTERLY FLOW LEADING TO INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND AN
EXPANSION OF LOW CLOUDS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. TIMING
AND EXTENT OF THESE CLOUDS REMAINS UNCERTAIN...BUT ANY MORNING
SUNSHINE LIKELY TO GIVE WAY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES THIS AFTERNOON.
DRY AIR IN THE 850-700 MB LAYER WILL LIKELY KEEP ANY PRECIPITATION
WEST OF OUR REGION FOR MUCH OF TODAY. JUST A LOW PROBABILITY OF
SOME LIGHT SNOW OR MIXED PRECIP MOVING INTO WESTERN MA AND WESTERN
CT TOWARD EVENING AS THE COLUMN MOISTENS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...

* A WINTRY MIX POSSIBLE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY

STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL QUICKLY BRING AN END TO THE PERIOD
OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION TONIGHT. THE TRICKIEST PART OF THE
FORECAST REMAINS TIMING THIS WARMING WITH THE SATURATION OF THE
LOWER LEVELS. THE COMBINATION OF THESE TWO THINGS WILL ULTIMATELY
DETERMINE PRECIPITATION TYPE.

LATEST GUIDANCE SUGGESTS PRECIPITATION STARTS IN EARNEST LATER
THIS EVENING. AT THAT TIME...TEMPERATURES SHOULD STILL BE BELOW
FREEZING...RESULTING IN MAINLY SNOW...WITH PERHAPS SOME SLEET.
TEMPERATURES AT 850 MB AND 925 MB ARE PROJECTED TO WARM ABOVE
FREEZING SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. THIS MEANS THERE IS A WINDOW FOR
POTENTIAL ICING. HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE IN A MIXTURE OF SLEET AND
SNOW THAN FREEZING RAIN. AM NOT THINKING THERE WILL BE ENOUGH OF A
WARM NOSE TO COMPLETELY MELT HYDROMETEORS. AS SUCH...DECIDED TO
NOT ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY AT THIS TIME. THIS POTENTIAL
WILL STILL NEED TO BE MONITORED THROUGH TODAY.

THE GREATEST ICING POTENTIAL WILL BE MAINLY ACROSS NORTHWEST AND
NORTH CENTRAL MA...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE CT RIVER
VALLEY. VERY LITTLE SNOW IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME...LESS THAN AN
INCH.

DEEP WARM LAYER WILL MOVE WELL INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BY 12Z
SATURDAY. WITH SURFACE TEMPERATURES ABOVE FREEZING...SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND SHOULD HAVE ALL RAIN FOR PRECIPITATION TYPE SATURDAY. THAT
SAID...SATURDAY MAY NOT BE A TOTAL WASHOUT. THINKING THERE SHOULD
BE A PERIOD OF LIGHTER PRECIPITATION DURING THE LATE MORNING AND
EARLY AFTERNOON.

&&

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

* MOSTLY DRY WEATHER EXPECTED SUNDAY
* A COASTAL LOW MAY BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF WINTRY WEATHER MON OR TUE
* DRY WEATHER RETURNS WED AND THU

UNLIKE THE LAST COUPLE OF NIGHTS...AGREEMENT AMONGST THE MODELS IS
LACKING.  THE ECMWF HAS HAD GOOD RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY WITH
DEVELOPING A COASTAL LOW THAT MOVES SOMEWHERE BETWEEN NANTUCKET AND
THE 40/70 BENCHMARK.  UNTIL THE 00Z RUN LAST NIGHT...THE GFS HAS
ALSO DEVELOPED A COASTAL LOW WITH A LITTLE LESS CERTAINTY ON THE
TRACK.  SINCE THEN AND CONTINUED IN THE 05/00Z RUN...THE GFS HAS
COMPLETELY DISPENSED WITH THE COASTAL LOW AND HAS OPTED FOR HIGH
PRESSURE.

MOST OF THE MEMBERS OF THE 05/00Z RUN OF THE GEFS AGREE WITH THE
OPERATIONAL GFS.  HOWEVER...THERE ARE SEVERAL MEMBERS THAT ARE MORE
IN AGREEMENT WITH THE ECMWF.  GIVEN THE CONSISTENCY OF THE ECMWF AND
THE MEMBERS OF THE GFS THAT AGREE WITH THE ECMWF AM LENDING A BIT
MORE CREDENCE TO THE ECMWF BUT THE CONSISTENCY OF THE GFS OVER THE
PAST COUPLE OF DAYS GIVES ME PAUSE.  AM OPTING TO GO WITH A BLEND OF
THE SOLUTIONS WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE WEIGHT TO THE ECMWF WHILE WE
WAIT ON FURTHER MODEL RUNS.  THIS SYSTEM IS STEMMING FROM ENERGY
ALONG THE WEST COAST AS WELL AS SOME ENERGY IN THE HIGHER LATITUDES
OF CANADA.  THESE SYSTEMS ARE GENERALLY VERY HARD TO FORECAST WITH
THE LACK OF DATA IN THIS REGION.

SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...RAIN CONTINUES SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE
COLD FRONT MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  TEMPERATURES
COOLING THROUGH THE NIGHT COULD RESULT IN PRECIP ENDING AS A WINTRY
MIX...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE INTERIOR.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY ALLOWING FOR DRIER AND
COOLER WEATHER.  THE HIGH IS OFF TO THE NORTH AND WITH LOW PRESSURE
POTENTIALLY MOVING UP THE COAST /SEE BELOW/...A TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL BE IN PLACE OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  THIS WILL MEAN
GUSTY WINDS WHICH IN TURN WILL LEAD TO IT FEELING CHILLIER THAN
TEMPERATURES INDICATE.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...AS DISCUSSED ABOVE...THIS PERIOD IS VERY
UNCERTAIN WITH DIFFERENT MODEL SOLUTIONS IN THE GFS/ECMWF. BECAUSE
OF THE UNCERTAINTY WITH THE SYSTEM...THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR JUST
ABOUT ANYTHING FROM NOTHING /CURRENT GFS SOLUTION/ TO SOME SORT OF
WINTRY WEATHER ACROSS AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE REGION. THE 12Z
ECMWF ENSEMBLE MEAN HAS BEEN THE MOST CONSISTENT AND THEREFORE WILL
LEAN TOWARDS THIS SOLUTION...WHICH TAKES THE LOW PRESSURE OVER THE
40/70 BENCHMARK SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET. THIS WOULD RESULT IN WINTER
WEATHER ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS.

IN ADDITION...IF A COASTAL STORM IS TO OCCUR...THERE MAY BE
POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE EAST COAST.
ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES ARE RUNNING ABOUT 11 FEET...HOWEVER...THE
STORM IF IT OCCURS WILL BE FAIRLY FAST MOVING SO IMPACTS MAY BE
LIMITED.  WITH THE UNCERTAINTY IN WHETHER THERE WILL BE A STORM OR
NOT...THERE IS OF COURSE UNCERTAINTY IN WHAT THE EXACT EFFECTS OF
THE STORM WILL BE.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...THERE IS A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY IN THIS TIME
PERIOD...SOME STEMMING FROM WHATEVER HAPPENS MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
THE ECMWF HAS A SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH WEDNESDAY THEN HIGH
PRESSURE THURSDAY. THE GFS HIGH PRESSURE THROUGH THE ENTIRE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

TODAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. AREAS OF MVFR CIGS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP ACROSS CAPE/ISLANDS...WHICH MAY THEN EXPAND ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS AFTERNOON. TIMING AND EXTENT OF LOWER
CIGS NOT CERTAIN.

TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE. MVFR/IFR CIGS WITH RAIN
SHOWERS SE AND POSSIBLE WINTRY MIX NW WILL SLOWLY IMPROVE TO ALL
RAIN BY SATURDAY MORNING.

KBOS TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF...MAINLY DUE TO TIMING
OF LOWER CIGS.

KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF TRENDS. MODERATE CONFIDENCE
IN TIMING OF LOWER CIGS AND PRECIP.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...

SATURDAY NIGHT...LOW CONFIDENCE. MVFR/IFR CIGS IN RAIN WITH A
POSSIBLE SWITCH TO A WINTRY MIX ACROSS THE INTERIOR. CIGS WILL
SLOWLY IMPROVE AFTER COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH REGION.

SUNDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  VFR TO START WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH
TO MVFR CIGS AS CLOUDS INCREASE SUNDAY NIGHT.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE.  MVFR/IFR CIGS LIKELY IN
SNOW/RAIN WITH COASTAL LOW.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT AND FRIDAY/...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

WINDS AND SEAS GENERALLY BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS
TODAY. PRESSURE GRADIENT INCREASES TONIGHT...WHICH SHOULD LEAD TO
MARGINAL SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WIND GUSTS AND SEAS FOR A TIME
TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...A COLD FRONT MOVES OVER THE WATERS WITH
A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONT.  THIS WILL LEAD
TO GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS AND INCREASING SEAS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
NORTHERLY GALES ARE LIKELY ON SUNDAY...PARTICULARLY ON THE
SOUTHEASTERN WATERS.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...THIS PERIOD WILL DEPEND LARGELY ON WHICH MODEL
ENDS UP VERIFYING.  WITH A COASTAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PASSING OVER
THE 40/70 BENCHMARK PER THE ECMWF AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION
PER THE GFS...THIS COULD BE WILDLY DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS.  THE ECMWF
IS THE FAVORED SOLUTION AT THE MOMENT WITH THE MOST CONSISTENCY FROM
RUN TO RUN.  WITH THIS SOLUTION...EXPECT SEAS TO REMAIN HIGH...WELL
OVER 5 FEET AND LIKELY UP TO 12 TO 14 FEET ON THE OUTER WATERS.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL BE NECESSARY AND POSSIBLY GALES FOR AT
LEAST A PORTION OF THIS TIME ON THE OUTER WATERS.
