AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
640 AM EST SUN JAN 5 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL RESULT IN MUCH MILDER WEATHER LATER
TODAY INTO MONDAY. THE FRONT WILL BRING SOME RAIN SHOWERS...BUT A
PERIOD OF ICING IS EXPECTED AT THE ONSET TO THE NORTHWEST OF I-95.
THIS COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH NEW ENGLAND ON MONDAY FOLLOWED
BY ANOTHER BURST OF BITTER COLD. HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE
WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY WHILE ANOTHER STORM MAY BRING SOME SNOW
TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
***POCKETS OF LIGHT FREEZING RAIN AND FREEZING DRIZZLE EXPECTED
  LATER THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING NORTHWEST OF I-95***

700 AM UPDATE...
OVERALL TREND IN THE FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK FOR THIS MORNING.
THERE IS A 30 DEGREE TEMPERATURE SPREAD ACROSS THE FORECAST RIGHT
NOW. EXPECT TEMPS TO SLOWLY RISE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THESE TEMPS
ARE A HUGE FACTOR ON POTENTIAL FOR FREEZING RAIN LATER TODAY.
UPDATED POP LOCATION AND TIMING AS THERE IS ALREADY PRECIP MOVING
UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD AT THIS TIME. PHILLY AND TRENTON
OBSERVATIONS ARE ALREADY REPORTING FREEZING PRECIP. THE WAY THE
PRECIP LOOKS TO LINE UP AND ON HOW FAST IT IS MOVING NORTHWARD...THE
FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
SOME LOWER CLOUDS HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED ALONG THE SOUTH COAST
EARLY THIS MORNING. THESE CLOUDS WILL EXPAND NORTHWARD TODAY AS A
RESULT OF INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW/MOISTURE AHEAD OF A POTENT
TROUGH DEVELOPING ACROSS THE CENTRAL STATES. A FEW WARM ADVECTION
SHOWERS WILL PROBABLY DEVELOP...MAINLY ACROSS THE INTERIOR DURING
THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON.

THE MAIN CONCERN IS THAT TEMPS WILL LIKELY BE VERY CLOSE TO FREEZING
INLAND FROM THE COAST AS THE SCATTERED LIGHT PRECIP ARRIVES.  MODEL
SOUNDINGS SHOW PTYPE TO BE SHOWERS OR LIGHT FREEZING RAIN/FZDZ
DEPENDING ON SURFACE TEMPS.  EVEN IF ITS A DEGREE OR TWO ABOVE
FREEZING...THERE STILL COULD BE ISSUES GIVEN THE VERY COLD GROUND
FROM OUR RECENT WEATHER.

WITH ALL THAT SAID...WILL EXPAND FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY INTO
SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL MA...AS WELL AS INTERIOR NORTHEAST MA
MAINLY FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE
EVENING. WE ARE ALSO CONCERNED THAT A FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY MAY
ALSO BE NEEDED FOR NORTHERN CONNECTICUT/NW RHODE ISLAND...BUT AFTER
COORDINATION WITH SURROUNDING WFO/S WILL HOLD OFF FOR NOW.
HOWEVER...WE WILL HIGHLIGHT THIS POTENTIAL IN A SPECIAL WEATHER
STATEMENT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
TONIGHT AND MONDAY...

INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS WELL TO THE WEST OF NEW ENGLAND
LATER TONIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY.  AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM AN
INTENSIFYING LOW LEVEL JET WILL RESULT IN WARM ADVECTION/MID LEVEL
LIFT.  EXPECT SHOWERS TO BECOME MORE NUMEROUS AND HEAVIER AS THE
NIGHT WEARS ON.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...IT WILL STILL BE COLD ENOUGH FOR POCKETS OF
LIGHT FREEZING RAIN DURING THE EVENING ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND A BIT
LONGER IN SOUTHERN NH.  OTHERWISE...EXPECT TEMPS TO RISE INTO THE
50S ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN BY DAYBREAK MONDAY AS LOW LEVEL JET
ALLOWS MILDER AIR TO MIX DOWN.  EVEN PORTIONS OF THE INTERIOR SHOULD
SEE THEIR TEMPS CLIMB WELL UP INTO THE 40S...TO NEAR 50 FOR A TIME.

THE HEAVIEST OF THE SHOWERS WILL BE LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY
MORNING...AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES.  IN FACT...SHOWALTER INDICES
DROP TO ZERO OR JUST BELOW SO A RUMBLE OR TWO OF THUNDER IS A
POSSIBILITY.

THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION MONDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...BUT IT WILL TAKE SOMETIME FOR THE REAL COLD AIR TO WORK
INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  MAY SEE A BRIEF BAND OF SNOW
SHOWERS/FLURRIES BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT WORST CASE SCENARIO APPEARS
TO BE JUST A COATING OF SNOW.  TEMPS WILL FALL INTO THE 30S BY LATE
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS.

&&

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

* ANOTHER ROUND OF ARCTIC AIR AND HIGH PRESSURE MON NIGHT INTO WED
* OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS FOR THE CAPE AND ISLANDS
* FLURRIES/SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY

CONFIDENCE LEVEL/MODEL PREFERENCE...
HIGH CONFIDENCE IN STRONG ARCTIC AIR MOVING INTO THE REGION FROM
THE EAST TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS WELL AS OCEAN EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS FOR THE WATERS. MODERATE CONFIDENCE ON AN OVERRUNNING
SYSTEM THURSDAY/FRIDAY....UNCERTAIN ON TIMING AND PTYPE. LOW
CONFIDENCE ON THE WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK AS THERE IS A LOT OF
MODEL VARIABILITY.

OVERALL....A MEAN RIDGE WORKED INTO WRN CONUS...WHILE AN ARCTIC
TROUGH IMPACTS THE EAST-CENTRAL U.S.A. THIS COLD SNAP WILL MODIFY QUICKLY
AND STARKLY WITH RAPID FLOW DEAMPLIFICATION MID-LATE NEXT WEEK
WITH TRANSITION TO MORE CHAOTIC AND PROGRESSIVE EMBEDDED SYSTEMS.
DESPITE SEEMINGLY DECENT LARGER SCALE PREDICTABILITY...THERE
REMAINS AMPLE FORECAST SPREAD WITH RESPECT TO SMALL-MID SCALE FLOW
CHARACTERISTICS INCLUDING EMBEDDED SYSTEM EMPHASIS/TIMING AND THE
EVENTUAL EXTENT OF FLOW SEPARATION. THEREFORE BECAUSE OF HIGH
SPREAD TRENDED THE FORECAST TOWARDS WPC AND PREV FORECAST.

DETAILS...

MONDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...
ANOMALOUS TROUGH WILL DIG ACROSS THE MIDWEST/MID-ATLANTIC AND
INTO THE NORTHEAST BEGINNING MONDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
STRONG ARCTIC AIR TO INTRUDE INTO THE REGION RESULTING IN HIGH
TEMPS IN THE TEENS AND TWENTIES. ALTHOUGH NOT AS COLD AS PREVIOUS
DAYS...THERE IS MORE WIND WITH THIS SYSTEM SO WIND CHILL
ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED ESP FOR WESTERN/CENTRAL MASS. DUE TO
STRONG WESTERLY FLOW MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...THERE IS AN
INCREASING POSSIBILITY THAT A BAND OR TWO FROM THE LES EVENT COULD
MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE BERKS AND PERHAPS INTO THE CENTRAL HILLS.
ADDED A SLIGHT CHANCE AND A MENTIONED OF FLURRIES FOR NOW...BUT IT
WILL ALL BE DEPENDENT ON WHERE EXACTLY THE BAND SETS UP AND HOW
STRONG THE FLOW IS.

THE OTHER POTENTIAL IS THE POSSIBILITY OF OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS.
THIS VERY COLD ARCTIC AIR ALOFT WILL MOVE OVER THE RELATIVELY WARM
WATERS AND CREATE A 850MB TEMPS SPREAD OF OVER 20! MODELS ALSO
INDICATE CAPE VALUES OVER 500 J/KG AND STEEP LAPSE RATES. THIS
MAY ALLOW FOR 1.5 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW FOR ACK WITH LESSER AMOUNTS
FOR MVY AND THE OUTER CAPE. THE BIGGEST QUESTION IS THE WIND FLOW.
THE BEST CHANCE IS WITH A MORE SW FLOW...BUT IF THE 850MB TO
SURFACE FLOW IS MORE WEST THEN EXPECT PERHAPS A DUSTING IS MORE
LIKELY.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL INTRUDE INTO THE REGION LATE WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY RESULTING IN A WARMUP/CLOSER TO AVERAGE FOR THE REGION.
GFS AND EC TRY TO DEVELOP A SYSTEM OVER THE MIDWEST LATE THURSDAY
INTO FRIDAY. APPEARS THAT THERE IS SOME OVERRUNNING OF PRECIP AND
WITH THE SW FLOW OVER THE HIGH PRESSURE...COULD SEE SOME SNOW
SHOWERS OR RAIN. TRENDING MORE TOWARDS SNOW AS IT WILL TAKE SOME
TIME FOR THE WARM AIR TO PUSH THIS COLD AIR OUT OF THE
REGION...AND WITH 850MB BELOW 0C AT THE ONSET HAVE INCREASING
CONFIDENCE IN FROZEN PRECIP. STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS
POTENTIAL AS THE GFS WARMS UP VERY QUICKLY ON FRIDAY BUT BRINGS A
GOOD SWATH OF PRECIP WHILE THE EC HAS LESS PRECIP AND WONT WARM UP
TIL SATURDAY. REGARDLESS HAVE INCREASING CONFIDENCE IN NEAR AVG
TEMPS AND PRECIP LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.

WEEKEND...
A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY STILL FOR THE WEEKEND AS THERE IS VERY LARGE
MODEL SPREAD AS WELL AMONGST THE ENSEMBLES. REGARDLESS APPEARS
THAT A JANUARY THAW WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND RESULTING
IN AVERAGE TO ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES. THIS IS DUE TO DIGGING
TROUGH ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS BY THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

TODAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. MVFR CIGS ACROSS LI WILL GRADUALLY
OVERSPREAD THE REGION FROM SOUTH TO NORTH LATE THIS MORNING AND
ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON. A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS MAY AFFECT THE
REGION DURING THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING...BUT POCKETS OF LIGHT
FREEZING RAIN/DRIZZLE ARE POSSIBLE WHERE TEMPS HANG CLOSE TO
FREEZING NORTHWEST OF I-95.

TONIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  CONDITIONS DETERIORATE TO
MVFR-IFR LEVELS THIS EVENING WITH MOST LOCATIONS EVENTUALLY GOING
DOWN TO IFR LATER TONIGHT.  THIS A RESULT IN INCREASING BOUNDARY
LAYER MOISTURE...SO EXPECT LOW CLOUDS AND FOG TO FORM. POCKETS OF
FREEZING RAIN WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE EVENING ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE INTERIOR...WITH RAIN SHOWERS ELSEWHERE.  IN FACT...MAY EVEN
SEE AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM AFTER MIDNIGHT.  THE OTHER CONCERN WILL
BE FOR LLWS AS A LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS ACROSS THE INVERSION.

MONDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  MAINLY IFR CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS AND
PERHAPS AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM OR TWO.  IMPROVEMENT FROM WEST TO
EAST DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING AS COLD FRONT BRINGS
DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION.

KBOS TAF...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF TODAY AND TONIGHT.

KBDL TAF...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF TODAY AND TONIGHT.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

MONDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.  MAINLY VFR. MAY SEE
BRIEF LOCAL MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS ACROSS NANTUCKET AND OUTER CAPE IN
OCEAN EFFECT SNOWS AT TIMES.

THURSDAY...VFR TO START WITH POSSIBLE MVFR DEVELOPING IN SNOW
SHOWERS BY THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.

TODAY...LEFT OVER SCA SEAS ACROSS THE OPEN WATERS SHOULD DIMINISH BY
LATE MORNING.  OTHERWISE...WINDS/SEAS WILL BE BELOW SCA HEADLINES.

TONIGHT AND MONDAY...STRONG SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS TONIGHT
INTO MONDAY MORNING.  INVERSION WILL KEEP WINDS IN CHECK TO SOME
DEGREE...BUT SOUTHERLY WIND GUSTS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS WILL ALLOW SCA
SEAS TO RE-DEVELOP AS A RESULT OF THE LONG FETCH.  LATER SHIFTS WILL
NEED TO RE-ISSUE SCA HEADLINES FOR TONIGHT AND MONDAY.  IN
ADDITION...INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT
WILL ALLOW FOR AREAS OF FOG TO DEVELOP.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.
A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN LOW PRESSURE IN THE MARITIMES
AND HIGH PRESSURE IN THE MID-ATLANTIC WILL KEEP STRONG WESTERLY
WINDS OVER THE WATERS THROUGH MUCH OF THIS TIME. HAVE ISSUED A
GALE WATCH AS GUSTS WILL EXCEED 34KTS ESP ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
WATERS. THIS GALE WATCH MAY GET EXTENDED FOR THE EASTERN WATERS
LATER TODAY. ARCTIC AIR COMBINED WITH NEAR GALE FORCE WINDS WILL
RESULT IN MODERATE TO POCKETS OF HEAVY FREEZING
SPRAY...PARTICULARLY MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. SEAS WILL
BUILD CLOSE TO 15FT DURING THIS TIME FRAME.

THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
WINDS AND SEAS WILLS SLOWLY DIMINISH AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER
THE REGION.
