AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
438 PM EST FRI FEB 14 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
INTENSE LOW PRESSURE MOVES OFF PAST THE MARITIMES THIS EVENING
ALLOWING GUSTY WEST WINDS TO DIMINISH. ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT WINTER
STORM WILL AFFECT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY AND SATURDAY
NIGHT. COLD AND DRY WEATHER RETURNS LATE WEEKEND INTO MONDAY.
ANOTHER STORM IS POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT WITH A
RAIN/SNOW MIX. AN UNCERTAIN FORECAST PREVAILS INTO THE LATE-WEEK
PERIOD...THOUGH A WARMER-WETTER PATTERN IS PREFERRED.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
STRONG WIND GUSTS LINGER THROUGH EVENING...BUT THE TREND SHOULD BE
FOR DIMINISHING WIND BETWEEN SUNSET AND MIDNIGHT. SATELLITE IMAGES
SHOW A CLEARING TREND FROM SOUTH TO NORTH WHICH SHOULD CONTINUE
THIS EVENING. EXPECT MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES THE FIRST PART OF THE
NIGHT.

INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS AFTER MIDNIGHT AS THE NEXT SHORTWAVE DIGS
OVER THE APPALACHIANS. TEMPERATURES WILL COOL TO 15-25.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...

LOW PRESSURE AND UPPER SHORTWAVE OVER THE PLAINS RACE TO THE
NORTH CAROLINA COAST BY 12Z SATURDAY. ALL MODELS SHOW AN
INTENSIFYING COASTAL LOW MOVING NORTHEAST FROM THERE...PASSING
NEAR HE 40N/70W BENCHMARK EARLY SATURDAY NIGHT. GFS HAD
INITIALIZATION PROBLEMS...WE LEANED TOWARD THE 12Z ECMWF WITH QPF
FROM THE NE RIVER FORECAST CENTER. WE ALSO ADJUSTED
TEMPS/DEWPOINTS TO ALLOW FOR WET BULB COOLING ONCE THE
PRECIPITATION COMMENCES.

TIMING...ISENTROPIC LIFT REACHES THE SOUTH COAST BY MIDDAY
SATURDAY. SO THE MOST LIKELY START TIME WILL BE MIDDAY...BUT A
COUPLE OF HOURS UNCERTAINTY WOULD BRING A CHANCE OF PCPN DURING
MID-LATE MORNING. THE LOW PASSES OUR LATITUDE AROUND/JUST AFTER
MIDNIGHT...SO EXPECT PCPN TO TAPER OFF WEST TO EAST DURING THE
FIRST HALF OF THE NIGHT...POSSIBLY LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS ON CAPE
COD MUCH OF THE NIGHT.

PTYPE...
TEMPERATURE PROFILES ARE MAINLY FAVORING SNOW. SOME REMAINING
QUESTION ABOUT CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS WHERE THERE MAY BE A
CHANGEOVER TO RAIN. BEST CHANCE FOR THIS WOULD BE OVER NANTUCKET
AND EAST OF HYANNIS. BUT AS WINDS SHIFT TO NORTH-NORTHWEST AND THE
COLDER AIR ROARS BACK IN THE PCPN SHOULD BE SNOW EVERYWHERE.

AMOUNTS...
NERFC QPF IS SIMILAR TO THE 12Z ECMWF. WE BUMPED IT DOWN A FEW
HUNDRETHS BUT OTHERWISE STAYED CLOSE TO THIS STANDARD. VALUES
RANGE FROM 0.10 INCHES IN OUR NORTHWEST TO 1.4 INCHES OVER
NANTUCKET. TEMPERATURE PROFILES TRANSLATE THIS TO MAX SNOWFALL
OF 9-12 INCHES OVER SOUTHERN RISTOL AND PLYMOUTH COUNTIES AND
CAPE COD. WE HAVE UPGRADED THE EXISTING WINTER STORM WATCH TO A
WARNING...AND EXPANDED IT INTO SOUTHEAST MIDDLESEX COUNTY MASS. WE
HAVE ADDED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY ALONG THE WESTERN SIDE OF
THIS WARNING.

WINDS...
STRONG SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS WITH THE APPROACHING LOW...WITH THE
ECMWF FORECASTING 2-3 MB/HOUR AS IT PASSES US. THIS WILL TIGHTEN
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT AND PUSH SUSTAINED WINDS UP...WE ESTIMATED
20-30 KNOTS. WINDS AT 925 MB SHOW A 50 KNOT NORTHEAST JET MOVING
ACROSS SOUTHEAST MASS/CAPE COD BAY EARLY SUNDAY NIGHT...WHICH MAY
SUPPORT GUSTS OF 40-50 KNOTS AT THE SURFACE. ADDITIONAL
INTENSIFICATION AFTER PASSAGE MAY SUPPORT STRONGER GUSTS.

BASED ON THESE POTENTIAL NORTHEAST-NORTH WINDS...WE HAVE CHANGED
THE WINTER STORM WATCH TO A BLIZZARD WATCH ON CAPE COD AND ISLANDS
AS WELL AS EAST COASTAL PLYMOUTH AND COASTAL ESSEX COUNTIES. IN
THE CASE OF ESSEX COUNTY OUR LARGEST CONCERN IS WITH CAPE ANN.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
*/ HIGHLIGHTS...

 - FRIGID AND MONDAY SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
 - ANOTHER STORM POTENTIAL MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT
 - AN UNCERTAIN FORECAST FOR WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND
 - ONLY CONFIDENCE LONG-TERM: A WARMER-WETTER TREND

*/ OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCE...

FAST LOW AMPLITUDE FLOW EVOLVES TOWARDS PREFERRED TROUGHING TO THE
WEST WITH RIDGING ACROSS THE EAST THROUGH THE WEEK. BUT RESERVATIONS
IN SURFACE OUTCOMES AS LIKELY INDIVIDUAL DISTURBANCES THROUGH THE
FLOW PATTERN ARE BEING POORLY HANDLED FURTHER IN TIME BY FORECAST
GUIDANCE /LET ALONE NOT EVEN BEING SAMPLED AS OF YET/. WHILE A NEAR-
NEUTRAL TREND OF THE NAO HAS PERSISTED...ENSEMBLE-MEMBER FORECAST OF
THE AO HAS WOBBLED AND FEEL THIS IS A CONSEQUENCE OF POOR-HANDLING
OF INDIVIDUAL DISTURBANCES.

WHILE AN EVOLVING WARMER PATTERN IS ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD...THE STRENGTH AND TIMING OF POTENTIAL WEATHER DISTURBANCES
REMAINS UNCERTAIN. NEVERTHELESS...THE ECMWF IS PREFERRED WITH ITS
DECENT INITIALIZATION OF SFC- AND MID-LEVEL MASS FIELDS ALBEIT THE
OBSERVED SURFACE CENTRAL PRESSURE OVER MISSOURI AND NORTH-TEXAS ARE
LOWER THAN WHAT IS MODELED.

*/ DAY-TO-DAY DETAILS...

SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...

LOW PRES BOMBING OUT NE ACROSS NOVA SCOTIA WITH A CENTRAL PRES
AROUND 970 MB /ANOMALOUS BY 3-4 STANDARD-DEVIATIONS/. SUBSEQUENT
TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT AND STRONG ISALLOBARIC COMPONENT OF THE WIND
LENDS TO WESTERLY FLOW OF 40-50 MPH 2 KFT AGL SUNDAY EVENING. IN
ADDITION TO AN EVOLVING WELL-MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER TO H9...FEEL THE
TIGHT PRES GRADIENT AND ANOMALOUS LOW WILL ALLOW FOR WESTERLY WINDS
TO REACH WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA /MAINLY EAST-SHORE ESP CAPE AND
ISLANDS/. WILL RAISE WIND GUST GUIDANCE ACCORDINGLY /ESPECIALLY IN
RETROSPECT TO THE RECENT WINTER STORM/.

ARCTIC HIGH PRES WITH DRIER AIR/SUBSIDENCE...SHOULD SEE IMPROVING
CONDITIONS WITH COLD-AIR ADVECTION PROCEEDING. TEMPS LOWERING INTO
THE SINGLE DIGITS TO BELOW-ZERO OVERNIGHT. COMBINED WITH WINDS...
EXPECTING WIND CHILL ADVISORY CRITERIA TO BE MET OVER THE N/W
INTERIOR. HIGH PRES REMAINS IN CONTROL FOR MONDAY ALLOWING WINDS
TO BECOME LIGHT/VARIABLE. SHOULD BE A NICE DAY WITH NEAR-
SEASONABLE TEMPS.

MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...

A CHALLENGING FORECAST TO SAY THE LEAST AS TIMING AND STRENGTH
DISCREPANCIES EXIST BETWEEN DETERMINISTIC AND ENSEMBLE MEANS.
PREFERENCE TO THE ECMWF...IT APPEARS MID-MS VALLEY LOW LIFTS AS IT
UNDERGOES OCCLUSION OVER THE GREAT LAKES INTO TUESDAY MORNING...
WITH REDEVELOPMENT OCCURRING LATE TUESDAY OVER SNE/GULF-OF-MAINE
AS A TRIPLE-POINT LOW.

INITIAL WARM-FRONT COLLOCATED WITH F-GEN/ISENTROPIC FORCING OF THE
WCB WILL YIELD A FRONT-END THUMP OF SNOW /ESP E-NE OF LOW CENTER/
ACROSS REMNANT ARCTIC AIR...ESPECIALLY SO IN AREAS COLLOCATED WITH
THE LFQ OF AN ATTENDANT JET STREAK. SOME UNCERTAINTY ON EVOLUTION OF
PRECIP-TYPES WITH OVERRUNNING WARM-AIR AND SOUTHERLY ONSHORE FLOW.
WILL LIKELY SEE A TRANSITION ZONE OF A WINTRY MIX TO RAIN OVER THE
INTERIOR FOR THE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING TIMEFRAME /NON-
DIURNAL TEMP TREND/.

AS THE TRIPLE-POINT LOW EMERGES...COLDER AIR DRAWN BACK INTO THE LOW
AS IT DEEPENS QUICKLY TOWARDS NOVA-SCOTIA WILL LIKELY ALLOW FOR ANY
MIXED PRECIP-TYPES TO TRANSITION BACK TO SNOW...CONCLUDING BY
WEDNESDAY MORNING. COULD SEE ANOTHER COMMA-HEAD SETUP...WITH A DRY-
SLOT IN-BETWEEN. REARWARD MESOSCALE SNOW-BANDING WEST WHILE A LACK
OF ICE IN SNOW-GROWTH REGIONS EAST /FREEZING-DRIZZLE PRECIP/.

AGAIN A CHALLENGING FORECAST AND A FIRST-GUESS. ASSOCIATED ENERGY
HAS NOT BEEN YET SAMPLED. WITH THE NEGATIVE-TILT OF THE H5 TROUGH
AND SHOULD IT TAP INTO RICH GULF-MOISTURE...THIS STORM MAY HAVE MORE
BITE THAN IS PRESENTLY BEING ADVERTISED BY THE ECMWF. IT BEARS
WATCHING AND LIKELY UP TO THE EVENT THE FORECAST WILL CHANGE.

WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND...

ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. DETERMINISTIC MODELS HAVE EXHIBITED SIGNIFICANT
RUN-TO-RUN VARIABILITY. WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST TO STAY WITH ENSEMBLE
MEANS. HANDLING OF INDIVIDUAL DISTURBANCES AMONG FORECAST GUIDANCE
GREATLY DIFFERS IN BOTH STRENGTH AND TIMING. ONLY CONFIDENCE IS THAT
TROUGHING SHOULD EVOLVE ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS WITH RIDGING TO THE
EAST ALLOWING FOR A WARMER-WETTER PATTERN. LONG-TERM FCST GUIDANCE
BOTH SIGNAL AN INTENSIFYING STORM OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS LIFTING
NORTH INTO THE HUDSON BAY REGION ALONG AND AHEAD OF WHICH WARM AIR
WILL SURGE NORTH INTO SNE PRIOR TO THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. WILL
PROCEED WITH A CONSENSUS WEIGHTED BLEND OF ENSEMBLE MEAN GUIDANCE.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

SHORT-TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...

TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
DIMINISHING WIND. VFR. INCREASING CLOUDS AFTER MIDNIGHT.

SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
VFR IN THE MORNING BUT WITH LOWERING CIGS. MVFR CIGS REACH WESTERN
ZONES AROUND MIDDAY AND EXPAND ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE
AFTERNOON. VSBYS LOWER DURING THE AFTERNOON AND REACH IFR/LIFR BY
EVENING. HEAVY SNOW BANDS WITH 1/4 MILE VSBYS OR LOWER POSSIBLE
OVER CAPE COD AND PARTS OF SOUTHEAST MASS DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON/EARLY NIGHT. STRONG 50 KNOT NORTHEAST LOW-LEVEL WINDS
WILL CAUSE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR ESPECIALLY SATURDAY EVENING AND
NIGHT.

CONDITIONS IMPROVE TO VFR FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE
NIGHT...IMPROVEMENTS ON CAPE COD AND ISLANDS MAY NOT TAKE PLACE
UNTIL LATE.

KBOS TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

KBDL TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...

SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

IMPROVING VFR. BRISK W/NW WINDS INITIALLY WITH 40 KT GUSTS ALONG THE
EAST-SHORE AND HIGHER TERRAIN DIMINISHING THROUGH THE PERIOD.

MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

CONDITIONS DETERIORATING WITH ONSET OF SNOW. MVFR-LIFR. WILL SEE A
GRADUAL CHANGEOVER TO A WINTRY MIX TO RAIN ACROSS THE INTERIOR.
SPECIFICS UNCERTAIN. S WINDS POTENTIALLY GUSTY AT THE SURFACE WITH
LLWS IMPACTS 2 KFT AGL.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

DIMINISHING WINDS EARLY TONIGHT WITH SPEEDS DIPPING BELOW GALE
EARLY IN THE NIGHT...AND REACHING 10 KNOTS OR LESS BY MORNING.
SEAS WILL ALSO DIMINISH...BUT WILL LINGER AROUND 5 FEET ON THE
OUTER WATERS AND RI SOUND. GALE AND STORM HEADLINES WILL BE
REPLACES BY SMALL CRAFT HEADLINES THIS EVENING.

SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...
NORTHEAST WINDS INCREASE DURING THE DAY AND REACH GALE FORCE ON
THE SOUTHERN WATERS IN THE EVENING...AND ON THE EASTERN WATERS
EARLY AT NIGHT. THE GALE CENTER DEEPENS AS IT MOVES UP THE
COAST...AND NORTHEAST WINDS A COUPLE OF THOUSAND FEET ABOVE THE
OCEAN SURFACE WILL REACH 50 KNOTS. THERE IS SOME CONCERN THAT
GUSTS SATURDAY NIGHT MAY REACH 50-55 KNOTS...BUT INSUFFICIENT
CONFIDENCE TO GO WITH STORM HEADLINES ATTM. THE STRONG WINDS WILL
ALSO BUILD SEAS WITH HEIGHTS REACHING 15-20 FEET ON THE OUTER
WATERS SATURDAY NIGHT.

WINDS SHIFT TO NORTH AND NORTHWEST LATE SATURDAY NIGHT...WHICH
WILL DRAW COLD AIR SOUTH ACROSS THE WATERS. THE ROUGH SEAS AND
STRONG WINDS WILL SUPPORT FREEZING SPRAY LATER SATURDAY NIGHT.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...

SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

STRONG NW WINDS INITIALLY GUSTING TO AROUND 40 KTS GRADUALLY
DIMINISHING THROUGH THE PERIOD. GALE WARNINGS LIKELY DROPPING OFF
TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES.

COLD ARCTIC AIR PUSHING ACROSS THE WATERS COMBINED WITH WAVE
ACTION /12-15 FEET INITIALLY ON THE OUTER WATERS DIMINISHING TO
BELOW 5 FEET BY MONDAY EVENING/ AND GUSTY WINDS WILL YIELD A
PROLONGED PERIOD OF LIGHT TO MODERATE FREEZING SPRAY WHICH MAY
WARRANT THE ISSUANCE OF ADVISORIES.

MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

STORM APPROACHES...PERHAPS STRENGTHENING TO YIELD STRONG SOUTHERLY
WINDS GUSTING IN EXCESS OF 25 KTS. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY. WITH
GUSTY WINDS MAY SEE THE BUILD UP OF SEAS. ANTICIPATING SNOW
INITIALLY TRANSITIONING TO RAIN. WITH ANY SNOW EXPECT VISIBILITY
RESTRICTIONS ON THE WATERS.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...

STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS WILL PUSH SEAS INTO MASSACHUSETTS BAY
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. WINDS WILL THEN SHIFT TO NORTH OR
NORTHWEST...WHICH WOULD THEN MOVE THIS WATER INTO CAPE COD BAY.
EXPECT STORM SURGE VALUES TO BE A LITTLE HIGHER THAN MODEL
FORECASTS. THIS BRINGS SOME CONCERN FOR THE COAST OF CAPE COD
FACING CAPE COD BAY...ESPECIALLY FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AND POSSIBLY
SUNDAY.

SEAS OFFSHORE OF 15-20 FEET MAY TRANSLATE CLOSER TO SHORE AND
CAUSE SPLASHOVER ALONG THE EAST MASSACHUSETTS COAST SATURDAY NIGHT
AND SUNDAY.
