AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
914 PM EST THU DEC 18 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
DRY AND SEASONABLE CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FRIDAY. AN UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE AND MOIST NORTHEAST FLOW WILL BRING SOME LIGHT
PRECIPITATION SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL LIKELY PASS
WELL SOUTH OF THE REGION TUESDAY...BUT STILL COULD BRING A PERIOD
OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION. A MUCH STRONGER STORM IS LIKELY TO BRING
HEAVY RAIN AND WIND TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WEDNESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY EVENING. DRY BUT VERY WINDY CONDITIONS FOLLOW FOR
CHRISTMAS DAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...

925 PM UPDATE...

CYCLONIC FLOW AROUND LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE CANADIAN MARITIMES
WILL RESULT IN AN ABUNDANCE OF LOW CLOUDS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND OVERNIGHT.  WHILE THERE WILL BE BREAKS IN THE OVERCAST AT
TIMES...EXPECT CLOUDS TO DOMINATE.  PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL CONTINUE
TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS LOW LIFTS FURTHER NORTHEAST...BUT NOT ENOUGH
FOR WINDS TO DECOUPLE.  THEREFORE...AGREE WITH PREVIOUS FORECAST
THAT LOW TEMPS WILL BE ABOVE GUIDANCE NUMBERS.  BY DAYBREAK
FRI...LOW TEMPS SHOULD BOTTOM OUT IN THE 20S TO THE LOWER 30S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
FRIDAY...
HIGH PRES BUILDS ACROSS THE GRT LAKES WITH NW FLOW ACROSS NEW
ENG. TRICKY CLOUD FORECAST AS NAM INDICATING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
TRAPPED BELOW INVERSION WITH WIDESPREAD LOW CLOUDS...WHILE GFS AND
ECMWF ARE DRIER IN THE LOW LEVELS. GIVEN LOW LEVEL FLOW IS STILL
NW...WE WILL LEAN MORE OPTIMISTIC THAN NAM WITH A MIX OF CLOUDS
AND SUN EXPECTED. TEMPS WILL LIKELY BE 3-5 DEGREES COLDER THAN
TODAY GIVEN COOLING AT 925 MB...WITH MAX TEMPS RANGING FROM NEAR
30 HIGHER TERRAIN IN NORTHERN AND WESTERN MA TO UPPER 30S IN THE
COASTAL PLAIN.

FRIDAY NIGHT...
MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE MOVES INTO W NEW ENG TOWARD DAYBREAK...BUT
FORCING IS WEAK THROUGH MOST OF THE NIGHT AND MOISTURE IS LIMITED
SO EXPECTING A MAINLY DRY NIGHT. HOWEVER...AS HIGH PRES BUILDS
EASTWARD ACROSS QUEBEC LOW LEVEL WINDS BECOME NE AND MODELS
INDICATE INCREASING LOW MOISTURE BACKING IN ACROSS SE NEW ENG
OVERNIGHT. DELTA T FROM SST TO THE TOP OF THE MIXED LAYER IS
AROUND 13C WHICH IS MARGINAL FOR OCEAN EFFECT AND OCEAN INDUCED
CAPES ARE NOT IMPRESSIVE...BUT LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE
INCREASING. MODELS DO SHOW SOME LIGHT QPF DEVELOPING SO THERE MAY
BE A FEW SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOPING OVER CAPE COD AND ACK OVERNIGHT
AND WE HAVE SOME LOW CHC POPS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* SCT LIGHT SNOW/RAIN SHOWERS SAT INTO SUN...WITH A PERIOD OF
  DRIZZLE/FREEZING DRIZZLE POSSIBLE SAT NIGHT INTO SUN MORNING
* WEAK WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS WELL OFFSHORE TUE BUT COULD
  STILL SEE LIGHT PRECIP
* ANOMALOUSLY STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING HEAVY RAIN...GUSTY
  WINDS AND COASTAL CONCERNS AROUND CHRISTMAS EVE

OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCES...
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT ON LARGE
SCALE AND UPPER LEVEL FEATURES THROUGH MOST OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD.

MODELS AND ENSEMBLES CONTINUE TO SIGNAL WEAK SHORT WAVES THAT
TRANSLATE ACROSS THE REGION EARLY IN THIS PERIOD...WITH A RATHER
POTENT BUT FAST MOVING ONE FOR SAT NIGHT/SUN TIMEFRAME WHICH IS
AIDED WITH LOW LEVEL ONSHORE MOISTURE...WITH A SECOND WEAK LOW FOR
LATE MON INTO TUE BRINGING ANOTHER PERIOD OF LIGHT PRECIP.

STILL QUITE A FEW PLACEMENT AND TIMING ISSUES WITH THE EVOLUTION
OF AN ANOMALOUSLY DEEP H5 CUTOFF LOW DEVELOPING ACROSS THE WESTERN
GREAT LAKES AROUND THE MON-TUE TIMEFRAME...THEN ROTATES NE
SOMEWHERE ACROSS S CENTRAL CANADA ON CHRISTMAS DAY. BIG
IMPLICATIONS WITH THE ASSOCIATED LONG WAVE TROUGH. GUIDANCE
CONTINUES TO INDICATE THE TROUGH BECOMING NEGATIVELY TILTED ACROSS
THE MID ATLC OR SE U.S. LATE IN THIS PERIOD. SECONDARY/ TRIPLE
POINT LOW FORMS ON SURFACE FRONT OVER THE EASTERN GULF AROUND
TUESDAY...THEN WORKS UP ACROSS EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE SE AND MID
ATLC STATES. QUESTION IS IF THIS LOW APPROACHES WESTERN PORTIONS
OF NEW ENGLAND WED NIGHT.

STILL SEE THE SIGNALS FOR A FAST MOVING STORM WITH MULTIPLE
IMPACTS POSSIBLE...INCLUDING PERIOD OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND STRONG
WIND GUSTS...FIRST FROM THE SOUTH THEN SHIFTING TO THE WEST. COULD
EVEN SEE SOME COASTAL IMPACTS DURING THE HIGH TIDE CYCLE DURING
WED. TIMING REMAINS AN ISSUE...AS ONE WOULD EXPECT THIS FAR OUT.
MODEL GUIDANCE STILL DOING A RATHER GOOD JOB HANDLING GENERAL
FEATURES OF THIS SYSTEM AT THIS POINT.

USED A BLEND OF THE AVAILABLE GUIDANCE ALONG WITH WPC GUIDANCE.

DETAILS...

SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
HIGH PRES AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT MOVES ACROSS QUEBEC INTO THE
MARITIMES DURING THIS WEEKEND...THEN TENDS TO SLOW ITS EASTWARD
PROGRESS WITH BLOCKING OVER THE WESTERN ATLC. RATHER POTENT SHORT
WAVE UNDERNEATH THE UPPER SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE REGION...AIDED
BY A LOW LEVEL E-NE WIND IN PLACE. A LOT OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN
PLACE AS SEEN ON BUFKIT MODEL SOUNDINGS...SO WILL SEE SOME LIGHT
RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOP FROM E-W DURING SATURDAY. EXPECTING
LITTLE IF ANY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS DURING SAT.

HOWEVER...AS TEMPS FALL BACK SAT NIGHT...ALONG WITH THE DEEP LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE FEED...WILL ALSO SEE AREAS OF DRIZZLE DEVELOP. BIG
PROBLEM WILL BE JUST AWAY FROM THE COAST WHERE TEMPS FALL BELOW
FREEZING WHICH MAY MEAN FREEZING DRIZZLE. DOES NOT TAKE MUCH TO
GET GLAZING ESPECIALLY ON UNTREATED SURFACES. WILL NEED TO MONITOR
THIS CLOSELY FOR POSSIBLE WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES ACROSS INTERIOR
E MA INTO RI...POSSIBLY EVEN FURTHER W. WITH THE LIGHT
SNOW...MIGHT SEE UP TO 1/2 INCH ACCUMULATIONS SAT NIGHT INTO SUN
MORNING.

ON SUNDAY...DRIZZLE WILL TAPER OFF DURING THE MORNING...THOUGH
LEFTOVER RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS WILL LINGER THOUGH TEND TO TAPER OFF
DURING THE AFTERNOON.

MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
ANOTHER COASTAL LOW LOOKS TO DEVELOP OFF THE SE U.S. COAST
AND...AS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH BEGINS TO DIG ACROSS THE CENTRAL
U.S...WILL SHIFT TO THE E-NE UNDERNEATH THE UPPER RIDGE. THE
MARITIMES SURFACE HIGH REMAINS PRETTY MUCH IN PLACE...WHICH WILL
HELP SHIFT THE MAIN EFFECTS OF THIS LOW WELL OFFSHORE /SE OF THE
40N/70W BENCHMARK/. HOWEVER...MODELS CONTINUE TO SIGNAL LIGHT
PRECIP REACHING THE COAST MAINLY MON NIGHT INTO TUE. EXPECT MAINLY
MIXED RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS WITH SPOTTY BRIEF PERIODS OF FREEZING
PRECIP AROUND DAYBREAK TUE ACROSS N CT/N RI INTO S CENTRAL MA.
EXPECT HIGH TEMPS ON TUE TO RUN ABOUT 5 DEGS ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS
AS WINDS BEGIN TO SHIFT MORE S- SE...THOUGH SOME TIMING ISSUES IN
PLACE FOR WIND SHIFT AMONGST OP MODELS.

ONCE THE LOW EXITS LATE TUE...WILL ALREADY START TO SEE MOISTURE
FEED UP THE COAST FROM THE DEVELOPING GULF LOW...SO NOT MUCH OF A
BREAK IN THE PRECIP BETWEEN SYSTEMS.

TUESDAY/S LATE MORNING HIGH TIDE WILL RUN UP TO 11.6 FT IN BOSTON
AND...WITH ANY EASTERLY WIND FLOW...THIS MAY CAUSE MINOR COASTAL
FLOODING. WILL MONITOR THIS ASPECT.

WEDNESDAY AND CHRISTMAS DAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN SYSTEM...LOW
CONFIDENCE ON DETAILS.

SECONDARY LOW FROM THE PARENT OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES
DEEPENS AS IT SHIFTS N. MODELS TRY TO PUSH THIS SYSTEM CLOSE TO OR
JUST INTO WESTERN NEW ENGLAND LATE WED/WED NIGHT...THOUGH STILL
TIMING ISSUES IN PLACE. AT THIS POINT...WILL SEE HEAVIEST SLUG OF
PRECIP MOVING ACROSS LATE WED INTO WED EVENING. GOOD TROPICAL
CONNECTION CONTINUES WITH PWATS FROM 1.25 TO 1.4 INCHES...RUNNING
ABOUT +2SD TO +3SD ABOVE NORMAL FOR LATE DECEMBER. GOOD SHOT OF
MILD AIR WORKS IN ON SE-S WINDS. MODELS CONTINUE TO SIGNAL H925
AND H85 FROM 50-65 KT...AND AT LEAST SOME WILL MIX DOWN ESPECIALLY
IF THE LOW PRES PASSES CLOSER /WITH RAPIDLY FALLING PRESSURE/.
HAVE HIGHS ON WED UP TO THE LOWER 50S ACROSS EASTERN AND SOUTHERN
AREAS...BUT COULD BE EVEN HIGHER WITH STRONG ONSHORE WINDS.

CURRENT TIMING SUGGESTS THE DRY SLOT SHOULD WORK INTO THE REGION
LATE WED NIGHT INTO CHRISTMAS MORNING...SO PRECIP SHOULD END. WILL
STILL SEE GUSTY WINDS...THOUGH QUICKLY SHIFTING TO W-SW AND
GUSTING UP TO 25-30 KT...HIGHEST ALONG THE S COAST.

MAY NEED HEADLINES WITH THIS SYSTEM...WITH POSSIBLE URBAN/POOR
DRAINAGE FLOODING IN HEAVY RAINFALL WED/WED NIGHT...STRONG WINDS
BOTH WED AND THU...AND MAYBE EVEN FOR COASTAL CONCERNS. NOTING
ASTRO HIGH TIDES CONTINUE /11.7 AND 11.5 FT AT BOSTON
RESPECTIVELY/... THOUGH TIMING OF WIND SHIFT MAY COME INTO PLAY
FOR CHRISTMAS EVE INTO CHRISTMAS MORNING.

FRIDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE MAINLY FOR TIMING.
ONCE UPPER LOW MOVES INTO SOUTHERN CANADA...EXPECT A RATHER FAST
UPPER W FLOW IN PLACE. MAY SEE LEFTOVER SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE E
SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES INTO THE MONADNOCKS. TEMPS WILL FALL BACK
CLOSE TO SEASONAL NORMS. ANOTHER LOW MIGHT MOVE INTO W NY STATE
FRI NIGHT.

THEREFORE...EXPECT CONDITIONS TO VARY BETWEEN LOW END VFR AND MVFR.
THE LOWER CIGS WILL TEND TO BE FOUND ACROSS THE INTERIOR.

FRIDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE DUE TO UNCERTAINTY WITH EXTENT OF ANY MVFR
CIGS. WE HAVE MAINLY VFR IN THE TAFS WITH POCKETS OF MVFR...BUT
IT IS POSSIBLE MVFR CIGS COULD BE MORE EXPANSIVE IF LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE BECOMES TRAPPED BELOW THE INVERSION. LATER FORECASTS
WILL NEED TO REEVALUATE THIS.

FRIDAY NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. MAINLY VFR...BUT MVFR CIGS
FROM THE OCEAN EXPANDING WEST ACROSS E MA. LOW PROB FOR SOME OCEAN
