AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1036 AM EST WED JAN 22 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS SOUTHEAST OF NEW ENGLAND ALONG
A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY TODAY. OCEAN EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL
LINGER ACROSS THE CAPE AND THE ISLANDS TODAY. BITTER COLD BUT MAINLY
DRY WEATHER EXPECTED TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. MODERATING TEMPERATURES
SAT WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS...BEFORE ANOTHER
SURGE OF ARCTIC AIR FOLLOWS SUNDAY. A FAST MOVING LOW PRESSURE MAY
BRING SOME LIGHT SNOW MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1030 AM UPDATE...CANCELLED THE REMAINDER OF THE WINTER STORM
WARNINGS AS SNOW SEEMS TO BE LIMITED TO EASTERN PLYMOUTH
COUNTY...THE CAPE...AND ISLANDS AT THIS TIME. SO HAVE LEFT THE
BLIZZARD WARNINGS UP FOR THIS AREA. NORTHERLY WINDS ARE GUSTING TO
45 KTS ON THE CAPE WITH VISIBILITIES DROPPING TO BELOW ONE HALF
A MILE. OTHERWISE...MADE SOME EDITS TO THE TEMPERATURES AND
DEWPOINTS TO BRING THEM MORE IN LINE WITH CURRENT TRENDS...MANY OF
THEM LOWER THAN FORECAST. MODELS STRUGGLE WITH THESE LOW
TEMPERATURES...HOWEVER NEAR TERM MODELS LIKE THE HRRR...
LAVRAP...AND LAMP ARE INITIALIZING BETTER SO USED A BLEND OF THESE
AS A STARTING POINT. WIND CHILLS AT 10 AM RANGED FROM THE SINGLE
DIGITS ON THE CAPE TO BETWEEN -15 AND -20 ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN
ZONES. THEREFORE...ALSO EXTENDED THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY UNTIL
NOON.

645 AM UPDATE...

CANCELED WINTER STORM WARNINGS ACROSS NORTHEAST CT AND CENTRAL MA.
WE GAVE SOME THOUGHT TO DROPPING THE BLIZZARD WARNING...MAINLY
DUE TO VISIBILITY NOT QUITE MAKING CRITERIA FOR THE REQUISITE 3
HOURS. WITH THE STRONG WINDS ALREADY IN PLACE THOUGH...WE DECIDED
TO STICK WITH THE BLIZZARD WARNING FOR NOW.

22/06Z NAM AND GFS SHOWING CONDITIONS BECOMING LESS FAVORABLE
WITHIN THE PRIME DENDRITIC SNOW GROWTH REGION THIS MORNING. LATEST
RAP GUIDANCE ALSO SHOWING THIS TREND...WITH THE BEST VERTICAL
MOTION MOVING OFFSHORE TOWARD MID-MORNING. LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES
STILL MARGINALLY FAVORABLE FOR OCEAN-EFFECT SNOW TO PERSIST. MAIN
FOCUS OF THESE OCEAN-EFFECT SNOWS WILL SHIFT SOUTH FROM NORTHERN
PLYMOUTH AND BRISTOL COUNTIES...TO THE CAPE AND ISLANDS BY MID
MORNING.

AREAS NORTH OF WEST OF I-95 WILL SEE LITTLE ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL
FROM THIS EVENT. THE GREATEST ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL TOTALS WILL BE
ACROSS THE CAPE AND ISLANDS...WHERE 3 TO 6 MORE INCHES OF SNOW
COULD FALL.

ONLY OTHER CHANGES WERE TO BRING NEAR-TERM CONDITIONS IN LINE WITH
OBSERVED TRENDS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

THE INITIAL BAND OF MID LVL F-GEN AND ITS ANTECEDENT MESO-SCALE
SNOW BAND HAVE GENERALLY DISSIPATED INTO A MORE DIFFUSE REGION OF
STRATIFORM LIGHT SNOW ACROSS FROM SRN CT INTO THE IMMEDIATE N
SHORE COASTLINE. THIS MAINLY DUE TO USURPED MOISTURE AND DYNAMIC
FORCING AS A RAPIDLY DEEPENING LOW PRES CENTER CONTINUES TO
TRAVEL JUST TO THE S AND IS EXPECTED TO PASS JUST TO THE SE OF THE
40/70 BENCHMARK AROUND 12Z THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...A SECOND BAND
ASSOCIATED WITH AN AREA OF H8-H7 DEFORMATION ON THE NW QUADRANT
OF THIS LOW PRES CONTINUES TO DEVELOP S OF LONG ISLAND THIS
MORNING. THE NW REACHES OF THIS BAND HAS SHOWN SIGNS OF
DIMINISHING AS IT RESPONDS TO VERY DRY AIRMASS ACROSS MUCH OF
INTERIOR SRN NEW ENGLAND...WHERE DWPTS ARE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS
BELOW ZERO. THEREFORE...FEEL THAT THE BULK OF THIS BAND WILL
REMAIN ACROSS SRN RI AND SE MASS THROUGH MID MORNING UNTIL THE LOW
SHIFTS FURTHER OFFSHORE AND DRY AIR CAN REGAIN CONTROL EVERYWHERE.

THE BIG QUESTION WILL BE SNOW TOTALS FOR THE REST OF THE MORNING.
WITH THE NW REACHES OF THIS SECONDARY BAND ERODING IN RESPONSE TO
THE DRY AIR...CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN THE WRN REACHES OF THE CURRENT
WARNING AREA IN EXACTLY HOW MUCH MORE SNOW THEY WILL GET. GIVEN
THAT RATIOS HAVE BEEN 20-30 TO 1 ALL NIGHT LONG...ANY LIGHT QPF
COULD STILL PRODUCE ANOTHER QUICK INCH OR MORE SHOULD THEY
DEVELOP. DO HAVE HIGHER CONFIDENCE IN ANOTHER ROUND OF 1-2 INCH AN
HOUR SNOWFALL RATES WITH THIS BAND ACROSS SRN RI AND AREAS OF
BRISTOL/PLYMOUTH COUNTIES AND THE CAPE/ISLANDS IN MA AS THIS BAND
CONTINUES TO SHOW 30+ DBZ ON ITS SE EDGE. ALSO...WITH WINDS STILL
GENERALLY NNE...FETCH OF COLD AIR WITH H85 TEMPS AROUND -12C AND
SEA SFC TEMPS STILL AROUND +5C...OCEAN ENHANCEMENT IS LIKELY
ALONG THE IMMEDIATE S COASTAL AREAS...WHICH ARE LIKELY TO LINGER
WELL INTO THE AFTERNOON UNTIL WINDS TAKE ON A MORE NW DIRECTION.
THEREFORE...STILL SUSPECT POSSIBILITY OF AN ADDITIONAL UP TO 6-8
INCHES IN ISOLATED SPOTS FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED AREAS.
THEREFORE...DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN THE NW...BUT HIGH CONFIDENCE IN
THE SE...WILL MAINTAIN WARNINGS AS THEY STAND FOR NOW...WITH THE
NEED TO WATCH THROUGH SUNRISE TO SEE IF THEY CAN BE TRIMMED
SOMEWHAT.

IN TERMS OF THE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS...ITS REALLY THIS BAND THAT
WILL HAVE THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF PRODUCING LOW VSBYS AND HEAVY
SNOWFALL AS WINDS ARE ALREADY GUSTING 35+ KT AND SHOULD CONTINUE
TO DO SO THROUGH 12Z. THEREFORE...WILL MAINTAIN IT AS WELL UNTIL
WE CAN SEE WHAT THE SNOWFALL RATES AND VSBYS WILL BE AS THIS BAND
MOVES THROUGH.

SNOWS/WINDS SHOULD GRADUALLY DIMINISH FROM W TO E THROUGH THE
ABOUT MID MORNING. THE BEST CHANCE FOR LINGERING INTO THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL BE MAINLY OVER HE CAPE AND ISLANDS AS
OCEAN EFFECT TAKES OVER. HAVE ADJUSTED POPS TOWARD LATEST RAP/RUC
THINKING. WHICH SEEMS TO BE HANDLING CURRENT STRATIFORM SNOWS
BEST.

STRONGEST WINDS ARE JUST STARTING ACROSS THE REGION...ALLOWING
WIND CHILLS TO DROP...CURRENT WIND CHILL ADVISORY TIMING/LOCATIONS
LOOKS GOOD SO NO CHANGES NEEDED THERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM THURSDAY/...
ANY REMAINING SNOWS ON THE CAPE/ISLANDS SHOULD BE ENDING RAPIDLY
THROUGH THE EVENING...GIVING WAY TO CLEARING SKIES EVERYWHERE BUT
BRISK NW FLOW OF 10-20 MPH AT TIMES OVER LAND. TEMPS WILL START
THE NIGHT IN THE SINGLE DIGITS ONLY 10-15 MILES INLAND OF THE
COAST...SO WITH NORMAL DIURNAL TEMP DECLINE AND CONTINUED BRISK
FLOW WIND CHILLS ARE LIKELY TO BE DANGEROUSLY COLD IN SPOTS AGAIN
TONIGHT. AM NOTING -15F TO -20F WIND CHILLS FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL
AND WRN MA...CT AND SRN NH. WILL LIKELY NEED ANOTHER ROUND OF WIND
CHILL ADVISORIES...BUT GIVEN CURRENT WIND CHILL ADVISORIES DON/T
EXPIRE UNTIL MID MORNING...WILL HOLD OFF FOR THE TIME BEING AND
ALLOW THE DAY CREW TO ASSESS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
* BITTER COLD THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY
* MODERATING TEMPERATURES SAT WITH SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS
* ANOTHER REINFORCING SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR ARRIVES SUNDAY
* A FAST MOVING LOW PRESSURE MAY BRING MORE SNOW MONDAY

OVERVIEW...

STRONG POSITIVE PNA PATTERN IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD WITH A WEST COAST
RIDGE LEADING TO DOWNSTREAM NEGATIVE HEIGHT ANOMALIES ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES INTO NEW ENGLAND AS POLAR VORTEX SETS UP ACROSS JAMES
BAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN MUCH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES DURING MUCH
OF THIS PERIOD. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE A BRIEF MODERATION
SATURDAY...AS ONE PIECE OF THE EASTERN MID-LEVEL TROUGH LIFTS
OUT BEFORE A REINFORCING SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR ARRIVES FOR SUNDAY. A
COUPLE PERIODS FOR PRECIPITATION DURING THIS PORTION OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD. SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS SATURDAY AHEAD OF A COLD
FRONT. THEN A FAST MOVING ARCTIC WAVE MAY BRING SOME LIGHT SNOW
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NOTABLE DIFFERENCES
WITH TRACK OF THIS WAVE.

THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...

BITTER COLD TEMPERATURES WILL BE THE MAIN THEME DURING THIS PERIOD
AS 850 MB TEMPS DROP TO -20C AND COLDER.  EXPECT WIND CHILLS WELL
BELOW ZERO THROUGH MOST OF THIS PERIOD...ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT.  WIND
CHILLS AS LOW AS -20 ACROSS THE INTERIOR HIGH TERRAIN AND AS LOW AS
-10 ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN.  WIND CHILL ADVISORIES WILL BE NEEDED
FOR PORTIONS OF THESE AREAS. ACTUAL LOW TEMPS WILL BE BELOW ZERO
ACROSS THE INTERIOR...AND ZERO TO 5 ABOVE NEAR THE COAST.  IT WILL
BE A BIT MILDER FOR THE CAPE/ISLANDS.  MAXES THU/FRI WILL BE
GENERALLY IN THE TEENS...BUT CLOSE TO 10 ABOVE ACROSS THE NW HIGHER
TERRAIN.

LOOKS MOSTLY DRY DURING THIS PERIOD...ALTHOUGH A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE
AND WEAK TROUGH PASSING TO THE SOUTH MAY BRING A FEW FLURRIES TO OUR
REGION THURSDAY.

THIS WEEKEND...

NICE MODERATION IN TEMPERATURES SATURDAY AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT AS
INCREASING SOUTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPS. BUT THESE GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS
WILL MAKE IT FEEL COLDER. EXPECTING SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS TO
DEVELOP AHEAD OF THIS FRONT SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY EVENING. WITH
EVEN SOME RAIN SHOWERS ON THE CAPE/ISLANDS. AFTER THIS FRONT MOVES
BY...A REINFORCING SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR FOLLOWS SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY.

MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...

LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST REGARDING TRACK OF A FAST MOVING WAVE WHICH
MAY BRING SOME LIGHT SNOW TO THE REGION MONDAY.  WE CONTINUE WITH
JUST CHANCE POPS FOR NOW.  ANOTHER SURGE OF COLDER AIR FOLLOWS FOR
TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TRENDS...LOWER CONFIDENCE IN TIMING THROUGH
AFTERNOON.

MIX OF VFR IN WRN MA/CT AND SW NH GIVES WAY TO MVFR/IFR IN AREA
SE OF A KBOS-KSFZ-KGON LINE. THINKING AREAS NEAR AND NW OF THIS
LINE SHOULD REMAIN VFR FROM THIS POINT FORWARD THROUGH TODAY.

OCEAN EFFECT SNOWS WILL LINGER ACROSS THE CAPE/ISLANDS THROUGH
THIS AFTERNOON. THEREFORE...THE GENERAL TREND WILL BE FOR ANY
IFR/MVFR TO GRADUALLY GIVE WAY TO VFR EXCEPT CAPE/ISLANDS. ONCE
AREAS ARE VFR...THEY SHOULD REMAIN SO THROUGH TONIGHT.

OTHERWISE...NNE WINDS WILL BE PICKING UP ESPECIALLY IN RI-SE
THROUGH MID MORNING WITH GUSTS 30-40 KT POSSIBLE AT TIMES. WINDS
THEN GENERALLY DIMINISH BELOW 30 KT FROM LATE MORNING INTO LATE
AFTERNOON/EVENING. AT THIS POINT...WINDS SHOULD BE GENERALLY OUT
OF THE NW AND BELOW 20 KT.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TRENDS...MODERATE CONFIDENCE
IN TAF TIMING.

KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. MAINLY VFR CIGS...WITH
OCCASIONAL PERIODS OF MVFR ACROSS THE OUTER CAPE AND ISLANDS.

SATURDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. CONDITIONS LOWERING WITH AREAS OF
MVFR DEVELOPING IN SCT SNOW SHOWERS MOVING WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE
REGION. LOCALIZED IFR POSSIBLE.

HIGH CONFIDENCE. THROUGH TONIGHT.

GALE FORCE WINDS ONGOING THIS MORNING AND WILL LINGER INTO THIS
EVENING. ONLY CHANGE WILL BE FOR A SHIFT FROM MAINLY NNE TO MAINLY
NW BY THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS DIMINISH TO MAINLY SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY LEVELS TONIGHT...AND REMNANT SEAS WILL BEGIN TO
GRADUALLY SUBSIDE. THEREFORE...GALE WARNINGS CONTINUE...LIKELY
DROPPING TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES OVERNIGHT.

ANOTHER SNOWS WILL CONTINUE ON THE SRN NEW ENGLAND WATERS THROUGH
MORNING...LINGERING ALONG THE OUTER WATERS INTO THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AS OCEAN EFFECT SNOWS DEVELOP. THIS WILL LIKELY LEAD TO
PERIOD VSBY REDUCTIONS TO A MILE OR BELOW AT TIMES. THE SNOWS
SHOULD BE FURTHER ENOUGH OFFSHORE BY THIS EVENING.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

THROUGH FRIDAY...WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS INCREASE AS MORE COLD AIR
MOVES OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. SCT SNOW SHOWERS MAY REDUCE VSBYS
OVER THE WATERS EAST OF CAPE COD AND SOUTH OF THE ISLANDS. AREAS OF
MODERATE FREEZING SPRAY. MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. GALE FORCE SW WIND GUSTS
