AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
357 AM EST FRI FEB 7 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL DELIVER MAINLY DRY BUT COOL WEATHER INTO
SATURDAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS WELL EAST OF OUR REGION SUN INTO
MON...SO JUST EXPECT A FEW SNOW SHOWERS.  MORE COLD AND DRY WEATHER
FOLLOWS TUE/WED...BEFORE A COASTAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MAY BRING
SOME PRECIPITATION WED NIGHT OR THU.

&&

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

400 AM UPDATE...
FORECAST TRENDS REMAIN ON TRACK. CONTINUE TO DROP TEMPS AS HIGH
LEVEL CIRRUS IS STARTING TO CLEAR OUT ALLOWING FOR RADIATIONAL
COOLING.

TODAY...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE REGION WITH WESTERLY
FLOW ALOFT. OVERALL DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR TODAY. SOME
TRAPPED MOISTURE AROUND 900MB WILL COMBINED WITH STEEPENING LAPSE
RATES YIELDING TO SOME DIURNALLY DRIVEN CU TO DEVELOP. ALSO
EXPECT SOME MIXING UP TO 900MB WHICH WILL HELP INCREASE GUSTS
THIS AFTERNOON TO 20-25MPH. TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL BE SLOW TO
REBOUND AS 850 MB TEMPS DROP TO -12C...RESULTING IN SURFACE TEMPS
WITHIN THE MID 20S TO LOW 30S.

&&

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

TONIGHT...
HIGH PRESSURE TONIGHT WILL ALLOW FOR WINDS TO DECOUPLE AND GO
VERY LIGHT. ALTHOUGH SOME LINGERING CLOUDS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE
EARLY EVENING...CONDITIONS WILL CLEAR OUT AND EXPECT MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES. AS THIS OCCURS...TEMPS WILL RADIATE OUT AND WILL BE COOLER
THEN LAST NIGHT. THEREFORE HAVE UNDERCUT GUIDANCE SIGNIFICANTLY
ESP DUE TO THE FRESH SNOW PACK ON THE GROUND. OVERNIGHT TEMPS WILL
BE BELOW ZERO ACROSS THE NW AND BE IN THE TEENS ACROSS THE
COASTAL PLAIN OF MASS.

SATURDAY...
CLEAR SKIES AND COLD TEMPS TO START OFF BUT TEMPS WILL REBOUND
SLOWLY TO THE MID 20S TO LOW 30S AS HIGH PRESSURE SCOOTS OFFSHORE.
MODELS ARE INDICATING AN OCEAN LOW DEVELOPING OFF THE COAST OF THE
CAROLINAS WHICH WILL INCREASE CLOUD COVER THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
OVERALL ANTICIPATE DRY WEATHER AND LIGHT WINDS.

&&

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

HIGHLIGHTS...

* A FEW SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE SUN INTO EARLY MON
* MAINLY DRY BUT COLD THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK
* NEXT CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION NOT UNTIL WED NIGHT/THU

DETAILS...

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...

THE THREAT FOR A WINTER STORM OVER THIS TIME PERIOD HAS PRETTY MUCH
DISAPPEARED.  UPPER LEVEL ENERGY DROPPING DOWN FROM THE NORTHWEST
WILL NOT AMPLIFY THE TROUGH ENOUGH TO CAPTURE COASTAL LOW.
THEREFORE...DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS WELL OUTSIDE THE
BENCHMARK.  IN FACT...THE INVERTED TROUGH SIGNATURE SHOWN OVER THE
LAST 36 HOURS HAS ALSO BECOME MUCH LESS DEFINED.

WITH ALL THAT SAID...STILL MAY HAVE A FEW SNOW SHOWERS AT TIMES SUN
INTO EARLY MON WITH A COUPLE OF SHORTWAVES.  ITS POSSIBLE FOR SOME
VERY MINOR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS...BUT ODDS OF EVEN ANY ADVISORY LEVEL
SNOWS APPEAR QUITE LOW AT THIS TIME.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...THE POLAR VORTEX WILL BE LOCATED EAST OF
HUDSON BAY.  WHILE IT WILL KEEP THE TRUE ARCTIC AIR TO OUR NORTH IN
CANADA...TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO AVERAGE BELOW NORMAL WITH HIGHS
SUN/MON MAINLY IN THE 20S TO AROUND 30.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...

LARGE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST.
THIS WILL RESULT IN DRY WEATHER...BUT KEEP TEMPS COLD WITH HIGHS
MAINLY IN THE 20S.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...

LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST IN THIS TIME PERIOD.  ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP IN THE GULF OF MEXICO AND TRACK NORTHEAST.
THERE IS A LOT OF SPREAD AMONGST THE VARIOUS GUIDANCE...WHICH IS
EXPECTED IN THIS TIME RANGE.  SOLUTIONS VARY FROM A COASTAL HUGGER
RESULTING IN A WINTRY MIX...TO A STORM TRACKING NEAR THE BENCHMARK
GIVING MAINLY SNOW...AND LASTLY A TRACK WELL EAST RESULTING IN US
MISSING MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION. WE HAVE TO KEEP ALL POSSIBILITIES
OPEN AT THIS TIME RANGE AND PROBABLY WILL FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

VFR THROUGH SATURDAY. DIURNAL CU AND GUSTY WEST WINDS BETWEEN
20-25 KTS FOR TODAY. LIGHT WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES TONIGHT. LIGHT
WESTERLY WINDS TOMORROW WITH HIGH LEVEL CIRRUS MOVING IN FROM THE
SOUTH.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  VFR CONDITIONS
MAY BE MIXED IN WITH TIMES OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN A FEW SNOW SHOWERS.
BEST CHANCE FOR ANY LOWER CONDITIONS WILL BE LATE SAT NIGHT INTO
EARLY MON.

MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR
CONDITIONS.

&&

FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

TIME WITH A RELATIVELY WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT IN PLACE.  A PERIOD OF
MARGINAL NORTHWEST SCA WIND GUSTS/SEAS ARE POSSIBLE LATE MON INTO
