AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
154 PM EDT THU MAR 20 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE GULF OF MAINE TO THE MARITIMES
TODAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION DURING
FRIDAY. A FAST MOVING ALBERTA CLIPPER WILL BRING A PERIOD OF RAIN
AND SNOW SHOWERS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. UNSEASONABLY
COLD CONDITIONS RETURN FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. A WINTER STORM MAY
AFFECT THE REGION LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
2 PM UPDATE...LOW CLOUDS HAVE MOVED OUT/BURNED OFF EVERYWHERE
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND ASIDE FROM NANTUCKET. LOW CLOUDS AND
FOG REMAIN IN PLACE THERE BUT SHOULD SLOWLY PULL AWAY AS LOW
PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE MARITIMES. OTHERWISE...MID CLOUDS HAVE
BEEN BUILDING IN ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WITH MOISTURE FROM A
SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS THE REGION. TEMPERATURES HAVE CLIMBED INTO
THE LOWER 50 ALONG THE SOUTH COAST AND SOUTHEASTERN MASS COASTAL
PLAIN THIS AFTERNOON. ELSEWHERE TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE 40S. CLOUD
COVER WILL HOLD TEMPERATURES FROM CLIMBING MUCH BEYOND WHERE THEY
ARE NOW...THOUGH A FEW BREAKS OF SUN COULD ALLOW A QUICK COUPLE
DEGREE CLIMB.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
TONIGHT...

MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE MOVES ACROSS THE REGION...BRINGING A GOOD
THRUST OF COLD AIR AS H85 TEMPS DROP. SOME CLOUDS WILL ALSO CROSS
CENTRAL AND NORTHERN AREAS. NW WINDS WILL BE GUSTY AS THE COLD
AIR WORKS IN. EXPECT GUSTS UP TO 25 MPH ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
HIGHER TERRAIN AND ALONG THE COAST. WITH THE GOOD MIXING IN PLACE
ALONG WITH THE CLOUDS...EXPECT OVERNIGHT LOWS TO ONLY FALL BACK TO
THE MID 20S TO MID 30S.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* DRY AND SEASONABLE FRIDAY
* RAIN AND SNOW CHANGING TO ALL RAIN SATURDAY
* UNSEASONABLY COLD EARLY NEXT WEEK
* A POTENTIAL WINTER STORM FOR LATE TUE INTO WED

OVERVIEW...
QUICK MOVING SHORTWAVE AND LOW PRES WILL BE MOVING THROUGH THE
REGION SAT. THERE ARE STILL DIFFERENCES IN THE TRACK OF THIS LOW
THROUGH NEW ENG WITH GFS FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS N MA WHICH WOULD
BRING A PERIOD OF ACCUMULATING SNOW TO NORTHERN ZONES...WHILE
CONSENSUS OF OTHER MODELS IS ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENG. GIVEN THE
SHORTWAVE IS DEAMPLIFYING AS IT MOVES INTO NEW ENG WE ARE FAVORING
THE MORE NORTHERN SOLUTION ADVERTISED BY ECMWF WHICH WOULD BRING A
PERIOD OF OVERRUNNING SNOW/RAIN SHOWERS CHANGING TO RAIN LATE FRI
NIGHT INTO SAT. A RETURN TO UNSEASONABLY COLD WEATHER RETURNS FOR
EARLY NEXT WEEK AS BROAD TROF WITH 1-2SD HEIGHT ANOMALIES SETS UP
ACROSS ACROSS GRT LAKES AND NORTHEAST. MODELS SHOW A DIGGING
NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE FLOW WHICH AMPLIFIES
THE TROF ALONG THE EAST COAST WITH ALL GUIDANCE AND ENSEMBLES
INDICATING A SIGNIFICANT OCEAN STORM FOR TUE/WED. THE UNCERTAINTY
LIES IN THE TRACK WHICH WILL DETERMINE THE IMPACT IT HAS ON NEW
ENG. DETERMINISTIC GFS/ECMWF TRACK THE LOW OUTSIDE THE BENCHMARK
BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL ENSEMBLE MEMBERS CLOSER TO THE BENCHMARK.
THERE WILL LIKELY BE CONTINUED VARIATIONS IN FUTURE MODEL RUNS.

FRIDAY...
MOSUNNY SKIES AND SEASONABLE TEMPS EXPECTED IN DRY NW
FLOW...BUT BLUSTERY NW WINDS EXPECTED AS SOUNDINGS SUPPORT GUSTS
TO 25-30 KT. WINDS DIMINISHING LATE AS HIGH PRES APPROACHES FROM
THE WEST.

FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SAT...
STILL SOME DIFFERENCES WITH THE TIMING AND TRACK OF CLIPPER LOW
THROUGH NEW ENGLAND.  WE ARE LEANING TOWARD MORE NORTHERN ECMWF
TRACK BUT WITH FASTER TIMING OF MOISTURE MOVING INTO THE REGION.
WE EXPECT A PERIOD OF OVERRUNNING LIGHT SNOW MOVING INTO MAINLY N
ZONES LATE FRI NIGHT WHICH WILL CHANGE TO RAIN BY MIDDAY SAT AS
LOW LEVELS WARM WITH SW FLOW. ANY ACCUM WILL BE A COATING TO 2
INCHES. FURTHER SOUTH...JUST A PERIOD OF LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS
EXPECTED DURING SAT WITH A FROPA. GUSTY SW WINDS DEVELOPING NEAR
THE COAST ON SAT WITH TEMPS INTO THE 50S SOUTH OF THE PIKE...BUT
40S TO THE NORTH.

SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...
TRANSITION DAY TO ARCTIC AIRMASS WILL BE SUNDAY AS THE ARCTIC
FRONT MOVES THROUGH DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. TEMPS WILL
REACH UPPER 30S TO MID 40S AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND CANT RULE OUT A
BRIEF RAIN/SNOW SHOWER IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN. MUCH COLDER SUN
NIGHT AND SOME OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE OVER THE OUTER
CAPE AS THE ARCTIC AIR MOVES IN WITH NNW TRAJECTORY. DRY AND
UNSEASONABLY COLD MON BUT OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS STILL POSSIBLE
OVER THE OUTER CAPE. 850 MB TEMPS -16 TO -18C WILL RESULT IN MAX
TEMPS MOSTLY IN THE 20S...WITH LOWER 30S IN THE COASTAL PLAIN AND
CT VALLEY WHICH IS 15-20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...AN OCEAN STORM WILL THREATEN SNE LATE
TUE INTO WED...BUT THE TRACK WILL ULTIMATELY DETERMINE THE IMPACT.
GFS/ECMWF SHOW MORE OF A GLANCING BLOW WITH TRACK OUTSIDE THE
BENCHMARK BUT THERE ARE MULTIPLE ENSEMBLE MEMBERS INDICATING A
BIGGER IMPACT WITH TRACK NEAR THE BENCHMARK. POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR
A WINTER STORM BUT A LOT CAN STILL CHANGE AT THIS TIME RANGE.
