AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1255 PM EST SUN FEB 23 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ANOTHER MILD DAY TODAY BEFORE A COLD FRONT CROSSES THE REGION
TONIGHT. MUCH COLDER WEATHER WILL AFFECT US FOR ALL OF NEXT
WEEK...WITH A SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR BY LATE IN THE WORK WEEK. A
GREATER RISK FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW OCCURS WEDNESDAY AS AN OCEAN
STORM DEVELOPS. OTHERWISE MAINLY DRY AND COLDER THAN NORMAL
CONDITIONS PREVAIL NEXT WEEK.

&&

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

1255 PM UPDATE...

AN ABUNDANCE OF MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS COVERED MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH A FEW PEEKS OF SUN WERE
STILL OCCURRING ESPECIALLY NEAR THE SOUTH COAST/CAPE/ISLANDS.
DESPITE THE MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS...DRY AIR IN THE LOW LEVELS OF THE
ATMOSPHERE SHOULD KEEP THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON DRY.

AS FOR TEMPS...A VERY NICE DAY FOR LATE FEBRUARY STANDARDS WAS IN
PROGRESS.  READINGS SHOULD REMAIN WELL UP INTO THE 40S...TO THE
LOWER 50S FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS.  WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT WAS ALSO
RESULTING IN MUCH LIGHTER WINDS THAN YESTERDAY...MAKING IT FEEL
QUITE COMFORTABLE OUTDOORS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
***PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW LIKELY TONIGHT MAINLY SOUTH OF THE
 MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE***

TONIGHT...
GRADUALLY SHARPENING MID LVL SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE SE FROM QC AND
THE GREAT LAKES REGION WITH ATTENDANT SFC COLD FRONT DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. GUIDANCE NOW HAS GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT SFC LOW
PRES FORMING ON THIS FRONT WILL OCCUR LATE...MAINLY AFTER 12Z AND
MUCH FURTHER OFFSHORE THAN MANY OF THEIR 18Z COUNTERPARTS.
THEREFORE...EXPECT THE SFC-MID LVL WAVE TO REMAIN WEAKER AND
MAINLY OPEN. IN ANY CASE...A PERIOD OF PRECIP...LIKELY STARTING
AS LIGHT RAIN...GRADUALLY MIXING WITH SNOW IS EXPECTED WITH THE
COLD FRONT DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE WAVE WILL NOT ACT ON
THE APPROACHING FRONT UNTIL ITS CLOSE TO THE MASS PIKE...SO MOST
OF THE PRECIP WILL BE FOCUSED FROM THERE SOUTHWARD.

HELPING THIS THINKING IS THE FACT THAT MOISTURE WILL BE GRADUALLY
INCREASING IN THE MID LVLS...WITH OVERALL COLUMN PWAT VALUES
APPROACHING 0.5 INCHES AFTER 06Z. COMBINE THIS WITH MODERATE OMEGA
IN THE SNOW GROWTH REGION AND LAPSE RATES OF 6-7C/KM ABOVE THE
BEST OMEGA...AND CONDITIONS LOOK RIPE FOR POTENTIAL BURSTS OF
SNOW ESPECIALLY BETWEEN 04-10Z. THIS DESPITE THE FACT THAT SFC
TEMPS WOULD BE MARGINAL FOR SNOW.

THERE ARE SOME MITIGATING FACTORS THOUGH WHICH ARE LIKELY TO
AFFECT ACCUMS. THE MARGINALLY WARM SFC TEMPS TO START THE NIGHT
/MAINLY ABOVE FREEZING/ WITH DWPT DEPRESSIONS ON THE ORDER OF 10F
WHICH WILL NEED TO BE OVERCOME INITIALLY. WHILE THERE IS MODERATE
LIFT IN THE SNOW GROWTH REGIME AND INSTABILITY ABOVE IT...RECENT
TREND IN GUIDANCE IS TO SUGGEST THE TRUE OMEGA CORE IS JUST
OUTSIDE OF THE SNOW GROWTH REGION...WHICH MAY LIMIT SNOW RATIOS AS
WELL.

WHAT THIS ALL MEANS IS THAT THERE MAY BE LIGHT RAIN...MIXING WITH
BURSTS OF SNOW AS A GRADUAL CHANGEOVER OCCURS...ENDING AS ALL SNOW.
HOWEVER...WITH MARGINAL SFC TEMPS AND RATIOS NOT BEING AS HIGH AS
THEY COULD BE...ACCUMULATION MAY BE LIMITED. THEREFORE...WILL
HIGHLIGHT THE THREAT FOR A FEW BRIEF BURSTS OF MOD-HEAVY SNOW BUT
WITH ONLY LIGHT ACCUMS...MAINLY ON THE ORDER OF A COATING TO 2
INCHES AT MOST. THIS DOES NOT SUPPORT AN ADVISORY...BUT IF MODEL
LIFT BECOMES STRONGER IN THE SNOW GROWTH REGION AND INCREASES
OVERALL QPF...ITS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION ONE MAY BE NEEDED.
FURTHER N OF THE MASS PIKE...IT APPEARS DRY AIR WILL BE MOVING IN
TOO RAPIDLY FOR MUCH IF ANY SNOW ACCUM. AT THIS POINT IT APPEARS
THAT FOR MOST AREAS EXCEPT FOR THE CAPE/ISLANDS MOST OF THE PRECIP
SHOULD BE WRAPPING UP BY THE BULK OF THE MON MORNING COMMUTE.

MON...
AFTER ANY MORNING SNOWS COME TO AN END...EXPECT INCREASING
SUNSHINE FOR MUCH OF THE INTERIOR AND SRN PORTIONS OF THE BOX
FORECAST AREA. THE CAVEAT WILL BE NW MA AND SRN NH WHERE SOME
LINGERING CLOUD COVER ASSOCIATED WITH UPSLOPE AND GREAT LAKE
MOISTURE IS EXPECTED AS THE BASE OF THE MID LVL SHORTWAVE SLIDES
OVER. NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION A FEW FLURRIES ACCOMPANY THESE
CLOUDS AS WELL. HIGH TEMPS ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR EARLIER IN THE DAY
AS ROBUST COLD ADVECTION LEADS TO AFTERNOON H85 TEMPS ONLY AROUND
-15C. THEREFORE...EXPECT HIGHS TO RANGE MAINLY FROM THE MID TO
LOWER 30S AND GRADUALLY DECREASE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

&&

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

* A RETURN TO COLDER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK

* HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN/JET STREAM MAY BRING ACCUMULATING SNOWS WED

SYNOPTIC OVERVIEW AND SENSIBLE WEATHER...

A DEVELOPING HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE ACROSS WESTERN CANADA INTO ALASKA
RESULTS IN THE POLAR VORTEX BEING DISPLACED AND PLUNGING SOUTHWARD
THROUGH CANADA EARLY NEXT WEEK AND THEN REACHING THE NORTHERN GREAT
LAKES AROUND THURSDAY. THIS ESTABLISHES CROSS POLAR FLOW INTO NEW
ENGLAND BEGINNING MONDAY AND CONTINUING THROUGH NEXT WEEK AND
WEEKEND. GEFS 850MB MEAN TEMPERATURE ANOMALIES CAPTURE THIS
TRANSITION TO A COLDER REGIME NICELY WITH 850 MEAN TEMPS DROPPING TO
AROUND 1 STD BELOW CLIMATOLOGY MON THRU WED OVER NEW ENGLAND...THEN
FALLING TO 2 STD BELOW CLIMO LATE NEXT WEEK AND WEEKEND BEHIND
ARCTIC FRONT MOVING ACROSS NEW ENGLAND MID WEEK.

THE OTHER INTERESTING ATTRIBUTE TO THIS PATTERN CHANGE WILL BE JET
ENERGY/PV ANOMALY ASSOCIATED WITH THE ARCTIC FRONT MID WEEK. MODELS
CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS PACKET OF JET ENERGY INDUCING EAST COAST
CYCLOGENESIS AROUND THE WED TIMEFRAME. QUESTION REMAINS WILL THE
SHORT WAVE TROUGH/PV ANOMALY BE SHARP ENOUGH TO BACK THE MID LEVEL
FLOW FOR A STORM TRACK CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE COAST FOR HEAVY SNOW?
BOTH THE DETERMINISTIC 00Z GFS AND ECMWF TRACK OCEAN LOW/CYCLONE
SOUTHEAST OF THE BENCHMARK. HOWEVER BOTH AGREE THAT THERE WILL BE
SUFFICIENT MID LEVEL FORCING TO INDUCE AN INVERTED/NORLUN TROUGH
EXTENDING NORTHWEST FROM THE OCEAN LOW BACK ACROSS NEW ENGLAND. THIS
WOULD SUPPORT THE RISK OF SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOWFALL.

THE ECENS SUGGEST A CLOSE CALL WITH INTENSIFYING OCEAN LOW TRACKING
SE OF THE 40N/70W BENCHMARK. THE GEFS SHOWS MUCH MORE
SPREAD/UNCERTAINTY. GIVEN THE TIME RANGE HERE...THE EVOLVING HIGH
AMPLITUDE PATTERN AND POLAR ORIGINS OF JET ENERGY WE CAN/T RULE OUT
A SHARPER TROUGH WITH A STORM TRACK CLOSER TO THE COAST. THIS HAS
BEEN A MODEL TREND MUCH OF THIS WINTER IN THIS TIME RANGE OF DAYS 3-
5. HOWEVER FOR NOW WILL PLAY THE MORE LIKELY SCENARIO OF THE
INVERTED/NORLUN TROUGH YIELDING A RISK OF SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOWFALL
WED.

MODEL PREFERENCES...

TEMPERATURES...PREFER THE COLDER HPC GUID OVER THE WARMER GFSMOS AND
EVEN SUPERBLEND OF ALL MODEL GUID. MOS LIKELY TOO WARM GIVEN ITS
WEIGHT TOWARD CLIMATOLOGY IN THE LATER FORECAST PERIODS. FURTHERMORE
GIVEN THE COLD ENSEMBLE TEMP ANOMALIES FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS ABOVE
AVERAGE FOR COLDER THAN NORMAL CONDITIONS.

POPS/QPF...00Z ECMWF MORE BULLISH THAN GFS IN BRINGING HIGHER POPS
AND QPF NORTHWESTWARD INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WED. GIVEN THE TIME
RANGE AND UNCERTAINTY HERE A MODEL BLEND IS OUR FRIEND. THIS YIELDS
HIGH CHANCE POPS WITH LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE ISLANDS.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

SHORT TERM /THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...

THIS AFTERNOON...HIGH CONFIDENCE.  VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE DESPITE
AN ABUNDANCE OF MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS.

TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.  VFR CONDITIONS DOMINATE.  A BRIEF PERIOD
OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT...TO THE SOUTH OF THE MA
TURNPIKE IN SOME LIGHT RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS.  A DUSTING TO MAINLY LESS
THAN 1 INCH OF SNOW MAY ACCUMULATE ON SOME RUNWAYS SOUTH OF THE MA
TURNPIKE.

MONDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR CONDITIONS DESPITE A SCATTERED TO
BROKEN DECK OF FAIR WEATHER STRATO-CUMULUS CLOUDS EXPECTED TO INVADE
THE REGION.  NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS INCREASE TO BETWEEN 25 AND 30
KNOTS BY LATE MORNING/AFTERNOON.

MONDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS.  NORTHWEST WIND
GUSTS DIMINISH SOME BUT REMAIN GUSTY ACROSS THE PARTICULARLY PRONE
LOCATIONS.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF. BEST CHANCE FOR A FEW LIGHT
RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS BETWEEN 7Z AND 11Z.

KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.  BEST CHANCE OF A FEW LIGHT
RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS BETWEEN 3Z AND 9Z.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

TODAY AND MUCH OF TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE. 3 TO 5 FOOT SEAS AS A
FROM LINGERING SWELL ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST ATLANTIC WATERS...SHOULD
DROP BELOW SCA CRITERIA BY LATE AFTERNOON.  OTHERWISE...A PERIOD OF
MAINLY QUIET BOATING WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO LINGER INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. A FEW SHOWERS MAY ACCOMPANY A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE
LATE TONIGHT.

MONDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
A PERIOD OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY IN NW FLOW
BEHIND AN EXITING COLD FRONT. NW WINDS OF 25+ KT WILL ACCOMPANY
BUILDING SEAS...REACHING ABOUT 5-7 FT BY LATE IN THE DAY.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

WNW WINDS 20-30 KT. THESE WINDS COMBINED WITH ARCTIC AIRMASS WILL
RESULT IN PERIODS OF LIGHT TO MODERATE FREEZING SPRAY. GALE CENTER
DEVELOPS OFF THE MID ATLC COAST WED AND LIKELY TRACKS SOUTHEAST OF
40N/70W BENCHMARK. HOWEVER SNOW WITH REDUCED VSBY LIKELY OVERSPREADS
