AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
935 AM EDT MON MAR 24 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION TODAY...KEEPING
UNSEASONABLY COLD AIR IN PLACE. A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM WILL
IMPACT AT LEAST SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND LATE TUESDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. MILDER AIR RETURNS FOR THE END OF THE WEEK INTO NEXT
WEEKEND WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.

&&

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

935 AM UPDATE...

STRONG COLD ADVECTION WILL RESULT IN AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPS AROUND 20
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR LATE MARCH.  850 MB TEMPS AROUND -18C ARE
ABOUT AS COLD AS IT GETS FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.  THE STRONG MARCH
SUN ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION...SHOULD ALLOW HIGHS TO RECOVER INTO
THE UPPER 20S TO AROUND 30 IN MOST LOCALES.

THE EXCEPTION TO THE SUNNY SKIES WAS ACROSS THE CAPE/NANTUCKET...
WHERE OCEAN EFFECT CLOUDS AND A FEW FLURRIES WERE AFFECTING THE
REGION THIS MORNING.  WINDS TURN MORE WESTERLY BY AFTERNOON...SO
SHOULD SEE THE FLURRIES COME TO AN END AND BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS
DEVELOP.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
TONIGHT...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE REGION. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND
VARIABLE OR CALM...SO TEMPS WILL DROP OFF AGAIN. IT MAY BE A BIT
COLDER THAN THIS MORNING...THOUGH NOT EXPECTING RECORDS AT THIS
POINT. HIGH CLOUDS WILL START TO INCREASE AFTER MIDNIGHT...SO THIS
SHOULD SLOW THE TEMP DROP. OVERNIGHT LOWS MAY STILL DROP TO THE
SINGLE DIGITS IN THE NORMALLY COLDER LOCALES OF S NH/N CENTRAL
MA... RANGING TO AROUND 20 DEGREES ALONG THE S COAST.

TUESDAY...
AS THE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE TUESDAY MORNING...LOW PRES WILL START
TO FORM OFF THE SE U.S. COAST. AS THE UPPER WIND FLOW BACK TO
SW...MID AND HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE WILL START TO SHIFT TOWARD THE
REGION DURING THE DAY. THIS WILL ALSO HELP TEMPS RECOVER...WITH
HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 30S /WHICH IS STILL 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW
SEASONAL NORMS/.

EXPECT CLOUDS TO INCREASE DURING THE DAY FROM S-N. SOME MOISTURE
MAY MAKE IT IN DURING THE AFTERNOON...HAVE BROUGHT IN LOW CHANCE
POPS ALONG THE S COAST LATE IN THE DAY. LIGHT/VRBL WINDS WILL
SHIFT TO S BY MIDDAY...THEN BACK TO E-SE BY LATE IN THE DAY AS THE
LOW GATHERS STRENGTH WELL S OF THE REGION.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
*/ HIGHLIGHTS...

* EXPLOSIVE CYCLOGENESIS OFFSHORE WILL IMPACT SE MA TUE NIGHT INTO WED
  WITH SNOW AND STRONG WINDS
* MILDER WITH RAIN POSSIBLE FRI
* ARCTIC AIR BRIEFLY REENTERS NEW ENGLAND LATE IN WEEKEND
* MILDER AIR OF PACIFIC ORIGIN LOOKS TO DOMINATE MOST OF NEXT WEEK

MAIN FOCUS THIS FORECAST SHIFT IS TUE NIGHT INTO WED TIMEFRAME AS EXPLOSIVE
CYCLOGENESIS OCCURS OFF E COAST. THIS RESULTS IN QUITE A FEW
HEADLINES. THUS...LESS ATTENTION BEYOND WED AND WILL GO LARGELY
WITH A SUPERBLEND FOR THE THU AND BEYOND FORECAST ELEMENTS.

OVERVIEW... REASONABLY GOOD CONSISTENCY WITH ENSEMBLES AND
OPERATIONAL RUNS OF RAPID CYCLOGENESIS OFF EAST COAST IN RESPONSE
TO VIGOROUS SHORT WAVE ENERGY THAT DIVES OUT OF CANADA AND
INTERACTS WITH FRONT OFFSHORE. BOTH ENSEMBLES AND OPERATIONAL RUNS
POINT TO A SURFACE LOW TRACK SOMEWHAT EAST OF THE
BENCHMARK...PERHAPS 50 OR 75 MILES OR SO. PLENTIFUL
MOISTURE...STRONG BAROCLINICITY AND STRONG DIVERGENCE ALOFT WITH
NEGATIVE TILT TROF POINTS TO HEAVY PRECIPITATION NW OF SURFACE
LOW. A MORE BENIGN ALTHOUGH NOT NECESSARILY PRECIPITATION FREE
PATTERN FOLLOWS FOR THE END OF THIS WEEK INTO NEXT WEEK. TUE NIGHT
INTO WED...

AT THIS POINT IN TIME...ISSUE COMES DOWN TO TIMING OF DEEPENING
AND  PRECISE TRACK OF SURFACE LOW. ECMWF OP RUNS INCLUDING THE
LATEST 00Z VERSION CONTINUE TO RUN A LITTLE FURTHER W AND HEAVIER
ON THE QPF THAN THE GFS RUNS. UKMET ALSO APPEARS A LITTLE W OF THE
SUITE OF MODEL CONSENSUS. ECMWF 12Z ENSEMBLE MEAN JUST A TAD E OF
00Z OP RUN. HAVE GONE A LITTLE CLOSER TO GFS OP RUN AND ENSEMBLE
TRACK BUT A TAD CLOSER TO THE COAST IN DEFERENCE TO CONSISTENCY OF
ECMWF FROM RUN TO RUN.

HAVE 50 PERCENT CONFIDENCE IN MEETING HIGH WIND AND WINTER STORM
WARNING CRITERIA ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. DEBATED BETWEEN WINTER
STORM AND HIGH WIND WATCHES OR BLIZZARD WATCH. BELIEVE A LITTLE
GREATER THAN 50 PERCENT CHANCE OF AT LEAST BLIZZARD CONDITIONS AT
TIMES OVER THE CAPE AND ISLAND AND THINK BLIZZARD WATCH
APPROPRIATE TO HIGHLIGHT POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANCE OF EVENT THERE.
HAVE ADDED A BUFFER OF ZONES IN SE MA AND FAR SE RI WITH A WINTER
STORM WATCH. NOTE THAT THE ECMWF OP RUN WOULD SUGGEST THE NEED OF
A WINTER STORM WATCH TO BOSTON AND PERHAPS EVEN WEST TO WORCESTER
AND ALL OF RI...BUT THIS MODEL SEEMS TO BE ON WESTERN PERIPHERY OF
THE MODEL CONSENSUS.

CONFIDENCE IS RELATIVELY HIGH FOR HIGH IMPACT OVER THE CAPE AND
ISLANDS AND FOR RELATIVELY LOW IMPACT ACROSS SW NH...NW CT AND MA
N AND W OF WORCESTER. CONFIDENCE IS CONSIDERABLY LESS IN THE
GRADIENT REGION IN BETWEEN. THIS LOOKS TO BE STILL ANOTHER STORM
WITH A SHARP SNOWFALL GRADIENT ON THE NW SIDE AND CONFIDENCE OF
EVENTUAL SNOWFALL TOTALS IN THE BOSTON TO PROVIDENCE CORRIDOR IN
PARTICULAR REMAINS QUITE LOW. AS NOTED IN PREVIOUS FORECAST
DISCUSSION...A SLIGHT WOBBLE OF THE SURFACE LOW OR LOCATION OF A
PERIPHERAL DEFORMATION ZONE BAND COULD MAKE A SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCE. BESIDES THE TRACK OF THE SURFACE LOW...THE EXTENT OF
THE LOW TO MID LEVEL CIRCULATION AND LOCATION OF THE COLD CONVEYOR
BELT WILL PLAY A ROLE AS TO HOW FAR NW THE SIGNIFICANT SNOW
REACHES.

OUR SNOWFALL ESTIMATES LOOK TO BE FAIRLY CLOSE TO WHAT WPC HAS
PROVIDED FOR GUIDANCE. MARGINALLY UNSTABLE ENOUGH IN LOW LAYERS
TO POSSIBLY SUPPORT SOME OCEAN EFFECT ENHANCEMENT ACROSS THE CAPE
LATE TUE NIGHT AND EARLY WED MORNING.

SEE COASTAL FLOOD AND MARINE SECTIONS FOR ADDITIONAL SIGNIFICANT
HAZARDS FOR THE TUE NIGHT AND WED STORM.

REST OF FORECAST PERIOD... USED A SUPERBLEND FOR MOST FORECAST
ELEMENTS FOR THIS TIME PERIOD. WARM FRONT ACTION MAY PRODUCE A
QUARTER INCH OR A LITTLE MORE RAINFALL FRI INTO FRI NIGHT WITH
SOME MODEL VARIANCE IN TIMING. DOES NOT CURRENTLY LOOK TO BE
ENOUGH RAIN AND SNOW MELT TO CAUSE AN ISSUE FOR AREA RIVERS. WEEKEND
CURRENTLY LOOKS DRY AND SEASONABLE. IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE AIR
MASS ORIGIN FOR NEXT WEEK SHOULD BE MORE OF A PACIFIC ORIGIN WITH
THE DEEP ARCTIC AIR BEING HELD NORTH IN CANADA.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

THROUGH 16Z...VFR. MOSTLY CLEAR TO CLEAR SKIES ACROSS MOST OF THE
REGION. BKN CLOUDS AT 3-4KFT ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE
ISLANDS...WITH ISOLATED MVFR CIGS SHOULD DIMINISH AFT 15Z. N TO
NW WINDS GUSTING TO 20-30 KT THROUGH 16Z ALONG SE COASTAL
AREAS. ISOLATED MVFR VSBYS IN WIDELY SCT OCEAN EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS MAINLY ACROSS THE MID AND OUTER CAPE AS WELL AS NANTUCKET.

TODAY AFT 16Z...VFR. NW WINDS DIMINISHING OVER THE CAPE AND
ISLANDS.

TONIGHT...VFR. FEW-SCT HIGH CLOUDS...WHICH INCREASE ACROSS N
CT/RI/SE MA TOWARD DAYBREAK.

TUESDAY...VFR. CLOUDS LOWER AND THICKEN DURING THE DAY ACROSS THE
REGION...BUT SHOULD REMAIN VFR THROUGH THE DAY. WINDS SHIFT TO
E-SE MAINLY ALONG THE S COAST...CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS DURING
THE AFTERNOON. MAY SEE WIDELY SCATTERED -SN DEVELOP MAINLY ALONG
THE S COAST DURING THE AFTERNOON...LOCAL MVFR VSBYS.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...

TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. CIGS AND
VSBYS LOWERING TO IFR ALONG AND SE OF BOS-PVD-WST LINE AND MVFR
ELSEWHERE IN SNOW. STRONG N AND THEN NW WINDS LIKELY SE
PORTION...ESPECIALLY CAPE AND ISLANDS.
WED AFTN THRU THU...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR.
FRI...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE. MVFR DUE TO CIGS AND VSBYS IN
SCATTERED RA SHOWERS. PATCHY IFR CIGS/VSBYS POSSIBLE IN RA AND
FOG...MOST LIKELY NW MA AND SW NH.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...

HIGH CONFIDENCE.

THROUGH 12Z...EXPECT N-NW WINDS GUSTING TO 25-30 KT. LOW PROB OF
WIDELY SCT OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE EASTERN WATERS.
SEAS AOA 5 FT WILL CONTINUE ON MOST OF THE WATERS. EXTENDED SMALL
CRAFTS ON MASS AND IPSWICH BAYS. GUSTY N-NW WINDS WILL CAUSE AREAS
OF FREEZING SPRAY...ESPECIALLY OFF THE EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS
COASTLINE.

TODAY...WINDS DIMINISH AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVERHEAD. SEAS OF
5-6 FEET LINGER INTO THE MORNING BUT SHOULD DIMINISH BY AFTERNOON.
LEFTOVER MODERATE FREEZING SPRAY ON THE EASTERN OUTER WATERS WILL
END BY MIDDAY.

TONIGHT...LIGHT WINDS AND SEAS AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER AND
THEN EAST OF THE WATERS.

TUESDAY...LIGHT/VRBL WINDS BECOME E-SE DURING THE AFTERNOON. MAY
GUST UP TO 20 KT LATE IN THE DAY. SEAS REMAIN BELOW 5 FT.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY INTO FRIDAY...

VERY STRONG SURFACE LOW DEVELOPMENT TUE NIGHT INTO WED. RELATIVELY
HIGH CHANCE OF STORM FORCE WINDS S AND E OF NANTUCKET AND GALES
MOST OTHER WATERS LATE TUE NIGHT THRU WED. HAVE NOT ISSUED GALE
WATCH FOR BOS HARBOR OR NARRA BAY BUT GALE GUSTS POSSIBLE THERE
AS WELL WED AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. HAVE UPPED SEAS OVER WAVE
WATCH AND EVEN SWAN GUIDANCE GIVEN TIGHTNESS OF SURFACE PRES
GRADIENT AND BOUNDARY LAYER THERMAL PROFILE. THINK 20 TO 25 FOOT
SEAS ARE LIKELY JUST E OF CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
FAIRLY STRONG POTENTIAL FOR MINOR TO MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING
PORTIONS OF THE CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET SHORELINES. MORE
SPECIFICALLY...A 2 TO 2.5 POSSIBLE STORM SURGE AROUND THE TIME OF
THE WED MORNING HIGH TIDE COULD PRODUCE MINOR TO MODERATE COASTAL
FLOODING ALONG THE NORTH FACING CAPE COD BAY SHORELINE OF CAPE
COD...THE CHATHAM AREA OF CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET HARBOR.
SIGNIFICANT BEACH EROSION IS POSSIBLE ALONG THE OCEAN SIDE OF CAPE
COD AND THE EAST SIDE OF NANTUCKET WITH WAVES OF 20 TO 25 FEET
ANTICIPATED JUST EAST OF CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET. THERE IS ALSO A
RISK OF MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE PLYMOUTH COUNTY COASTLINE
BUT ONLY A LOW PROBABILITY OF REACHING A MODERATE IMPACT THERE.

&&

.CLIMATE...
STEADY N-NW WINDS KEPT TEMPS A BIT MILDER ACROSS THE REGION
OVERNIGHT...MAINLY IN THE TEENS. LOWS THIS MORNING AT THE FOUR
MAJOR CLIMATE SITES WILL BOTTOM OUT SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE THE
RECORDS FOR TODAYS DATE. HOWEVER...WITH THE ARCTIC AIR STILL
WORKING IN ACROSS THE REGION...TEMPS WILL ONLY REACH THE 20S FOR
MOST AREAS...EXCEPT AROUND 30 ON THE IMMEDIATE S COAST. MAY BE
CLOSE TO LOW MAX TEMPS AT A COUPLE OF THE CLIMATE SITES TODAY.
