AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
343 AM EST SUN FEB 9 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW IS EXPECTED LATE TODAY INTO TONIGHT WITH
LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE. DRY AND VERY COLD AIR FOLLOWS
MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A COASTAL STORM MAY BRING A WINTRY MIX
OF PRECIPITATION LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
STILL NOTING A FEW NEAR 20 DBZ ECHOS ACROSS CENTRAL MA AND SRN NH
AS WEAK SHORTWAVE SLIDES INTO SW NEW ENGLAND THIS MORNING. AS IT
MOVES OFFSHORE BY 12Z...WE SHOULD SEE THESE ECHOS ERODE. IN EITHER
CASE THE DWPT DEPRESSIONS OF 10-15F ARE PREVENTING ANYTHING FROM
REACHING THE SFC SO EXPECT DRY WX TO PREVAIL THROUGH AT LEAST MID
MORNING.

BRIEF RIDGE OF HIGH PRES TAKES OVER THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS
TODAY...YIELDING A PARTLY CLOUDY START AND MAINLY DRY WX INTO THE
AFTERNOON. COOL H85 TEMPS AROUND -12C SHOULD YIELD TEMPS ONCE
AGAIN SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL...WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM THE LOW 20S
TO LOW 30S.

ONE ISSUE OF NOTE IS THE THREAT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOME LATE
MORNING-AFTERNOON OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS. WITH SSTS AROUND 2-5C
NOT TOO FAR OFFSHORE AND H85 TEMPS HOVERING IN THE NEGATIVE
TEENS...NOTE THAT THERE ARE VERY STEEP LOW LVL LAPSE RATES IN
PLACE. THE KEY WILL BE WINDS. AS WEAK HIGH PRES SLIDES OFFSHORE
AND WEAK LOW PRES APPROACHES FROM THE W...EXPECT WINDS TO SHIFT TO
NNE THEN NE INTO THE AFTERNOON. THIS MAY BE ENOUGH TO BRING SOME
OF THESE OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS ONSHORE...PARTICULARLY CAPE AND
AND PORTIONS OF THE S SHORE. EXACT MID LVL TEMPS AND WIND
DIRECTION WILL BE KEY...BUT WILL BE INCREASING POPS NEAR SHORE FOR
THIS THREAT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WILL NEED TO WATCH THIS AS IT
MAY ADD TO THE SNOWFALL EXPECTED THIS EVENING. SHOULD A BAND OR 2
SET UP...SOME LIGHT ACCUMS OF AN INCH OR SO ARE NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION.

WILL HOLD OFF POPS UNTIL ABOUT 20-21 FOR THE WEAK LOW PRES. /SEE
BELOW/.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
TONIGHT...
WEAK CLIPPER LOW PRES WILL SLIDE OVER THE REGION DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS...QUICKLY AS IT/S EMBEDDED IN A NEARLY ZONAL 100
KT JET ALOFT. ALTHOUGH WEAK...THERE IS A POCKET OF BROAD SCALE
MAINLY ISENTROPIC LIFTING ASSOCIATED WITH IT ESPECIALLY FROM ABOUT
7-25KFT AND IT/S COMBINED WITH A NEARLY SATURATED COLUMN.
THEREFORE...EXPECT A PERIOD OF WIDESPREAD LIGHT SNOWFALL TO
ACCOMPANY THIS LOW PRES BEGINNING IN THE W BEFORE SUNSET AND
CONTINUING...ENDING IN THE E DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. THE
OMEGA CORE IS GENERALLY LOCATED ABOVE THE -12C TO 18C SNOW GROWTH
REGION SO SUSPECT THE 0.1-0.2 QPF TOTALS TO ONLY WORK WITH ABOUT
10 OR 12 TO 1 RATIOS. THEREFORE...SNOW TOTALS OF A COATING TO
AROUND 2 INCHES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THE REGION DURING THE
EVENING AND EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS.

A FEW AREAS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED HOWEVER...AREAS WHERE DAYTIME
OCEAN EFFECT SNOWS OCCUR AS THIS WOULD ENHANCE OVERALL TOTALS.
NEAR SHORE LOCATIONS PARTICULARLY AROUND CAPE COD...AS BETTER
NUCLEATION IS APPARENT. FINALLY...THERE IS THE THREAT FOR A VERY
LOCALLY FOCUSED INVERTED INSTABILITY TROF TO SETUP SOMEWHERE IN
THE VICINITY OF CAPE ANN AND THE N SHORE AS THE MORE WIDESPREAD
SNOWFALL DRAWS TO A CLOSE. THE ADDED DEFORMATION MAY ENHANCE
OMEGA WITHIN THE SNOW GROWTH AND LOW LVL INSTABILITY IS APPARENT
IN GUIDANCE SOUNDINGS. THE KEY WILL BE THE EXACT LOCATION OF THIS
BAND ONCE ESTABLISHED...A FEATURE MESOSCALE GUIDANCE AGREES WILL
OCCUR...BUT DISAGREES WITH SPATIALLY. A SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT FURTHER
OFFSHORE OR TO THE N WOULD DIMINISH THE ADDED SNOWFALL GREATLY.
GIVEN ALL THESE OTHER MESOSCALE FEATURES HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR
ADDED SNOWFALL POTENTIALLY EXCEEDING ADVISORY LEVELS...BUT HIGH
UNCERTAINTY REMAINS IN THEIR EXACT LOCATIONS...WILL BE ISSUING A
HEADS UP SPS FOR MUCH OF THE EASTERN SHORELINES WITH HIGHLIGHTING
THE POSSIBILITY THAT AN ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED WITH ISOLATED
POCKETS OF 3-5 INCH TOTALS.

THE BULK OF THE LIFT AND ASSOCIATED AREA OF LOW PRES QUICKLY RAMPS
UP OFFSHORE DURING THE MORNING HOURS DRAWING IN COLDER/DRIER
AIRMASS. THEREFORE...ALTHOUGH SOME SNOW WILL LIKELY BE RESTING ON
CARS...THE ACTUAL SNOWFALL SHOULD BE MAINLY OVER BY THE TIME OF
THE MON MORNING COMMUTE.

MON...
WITH LOW PRES MOVING FURTHER OFFSHORE HIGH PRES W OF THE GREAT
LAKES WILL BEGIN RIDGING OVER FROM THE W. EXPECT SKIES TO BE
RAPIDLY CLEARING AFTER SUNRISE...GIVING WAY TO A PARTLY CLOUDY
DAY. DESPITE THE AVAILABLE SUNSHINE...H85 TEMPS WILL BE DROPPING
TO AN AVERAGE AROUND -15C. THEREFORE...ANOTHER ROUND OF HIGHS
SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL ARE EXPECTED.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* DRY AND VERY COLD MON NIGHT INTO WED
* A STORM MAY BRING A WINTRY MIX LATE WED NIGHT/THU

DETAILS...

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

LARGE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST KEEPING THE WEATHER
DRY.  IN THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE...A PIECE OF THE POLAR
VORTEX WILL DROP INTO EASTERN CANADA.  WHILE THE TRUE ARCTIC AIR
WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE BORDER...TEMPS WILL AVERAGE CONSIDERABLY
BELOW NORMAL.  LOW TEMPS BOTH TUE/WED MORNING/S MAY BOTTOM OUT NEAR
OR BELOW ZERO ACROSS SOUTHWEST NH/NORTHWEST MA WHERE WINDS DECOUPLE
OVER THE DEEP SNOW PACK.  ACROSS THE REST OF THE REGION...LOWS
SHOULD FALL INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS.  HIGH TEMPS WILL
MAINLY BE IN THE 20S ON BOTH TUE AND WED.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...

STILL PLENTY OF UNCERTAINTY IN REGARDS TO THE TRACK OF LOW PRESSURE
THAT WILL MOVE NORTHEAST FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO.  WHILE THE
OPERATIONAL 00Z GFS/GGEM STILL TAKES THE STORM OUT TO SEA...SEVERAL
OF THEIR ENSEMBLE MEMBERS ARE FURTHER WEST AND SHOW A DECENT HIT
HERE.  THE ECMWF/UKMET HAVE ALSO BEEN CONSISTENT IN SHOWING A MORE
WESTWARD TRACK AND A HIT FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND FOR SEVERAL RUNS
IN A ROW.  NOW THE 00Z OPERATIONAL ECMWF MODEL ACTUALLY HAS AN
INLAND TRACK...WHICH WE THINK IS PROBABLY TOO FAR WEST BASED ON ITS
ENSEMBLES.  HOWEVER...THE MAIN IDEA IS WHILE AN OUT TO SEA SOLUTION
IS STILL ON THE TABLE...GIVEN ECMWF/UKMET OVERALL CONSISTENCY
STARTING TO FAVOR A MORE WESTWARD TRACK AND THE POTENTIAL FOR
SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION.

PTYPE IS ALSO HIGHLY UNCERTAIN...WHICH IS SOMETHING WE HAVE NOT HAD
TO WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS WINTER.  HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFF THE
NEW ENGLAND COAST IN ADVANCE OF THIS SYSTEM...TAKING OUR SUPPLY OF
COLD AIR WITH IT.  NOW ITS STILL POSSIBLE FOR MUCH OF THE EVENT TO
BE IN THE FORM OF SNOW EVEN ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE COAST...IF THE
TRACK ENDS UP NEAR THE BENCHMARK.  HOWEVER...GIVEN THE MARGINAL
AIRMASS IN PLACE A TRACK TOO FAR WEST WOULD RESULT IN MORE RAIN THAN
SNOW...PARTICULARLY ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN.

ALL IN ALL...WERE STARTING TO LEAN MORE TOWARDS A DECENT
PRECIPITATION EVENT IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BUT STILL CAN/T
COMPLETELY RULE OUT A GLANCING BLOW OR MISS.  PTYPE THOUGH IS
EXTREMELY LOW CONFIDENCE AND HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON EXACT TRACK.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...

TEMPS SHOULD BE CLOSE TO SEASONAL NORMAL FRI AND SAT.  MUCH OF THE
TIME WILL PROBABLY BE DRY...BUT WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR A WAVE OF LOW
PRESSURE SAT WHICH COULD BRING A PERIOD OF PRECIPITATION.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

THROUGH MID MORNING...
VFR. A FEW LIGHT FLURRIES POSSIBLE EARLY THIS MORNING N OF A BAF-
ORH-MHT LINE BUT CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN VFR.

LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH TONIGHT...
A PERIOD OF MVFR/IFR POSSIBLE SNOW SHOWERS /ESPECIALLY FOR THE
EAST COAST THIS AFTERNOON/ THEN LIGHT SNOW EVERYWHERE THIS
EVENING. SOME LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS ON RUNWAYS POSSIBLE...WITH THE
HIGHER TOTALS POSSIBLE NEAR THE COAST. EXACT TIMING OF THE LOWER
CONDITIONS ARE A BIT UNCERTAIN.

MON...
CONDITIONS GRADUALLY IMPROVE THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS WITH
SNOWS COMING TO AN END AND SKIES GRADUALLY CLEARING. MUCH OF MON
SHOULD BE VFR. NW WINDS GUST 15-20 KT DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS.

KBOS TERMINAL... CONFIDENCE IN TAF TRENDS...LOWER CONFIDENCE IN
TIMING OF MVFR CIGS AND LATE DAY SNOW.

KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF TRENDS LOWER CONFIDENCE IN
TIMING OF SNOW LATE TODAY.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT-THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS
WILL PROBABLY DEVELOP LATE WED NIGHT/EARLY THU IN RAIN AND/OR
SNOW.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

OVERALL HAVE HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST.

MAINLY QUIET BOATING WEATHER IS EXPECTED INTO TONIGHT SAVE FOR
