Area forecast discussion, Feb 12, 4:18 AM EST, 17 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
418 AM EST WED FEB 12 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER NEW ENGLAND WILL BRING DRY AND COLD
CONDITIONS TODAY. A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM WILL IMPACT THE
REGION THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY MORNING. ANOTHER WEAKER LOW PRESSURE
AREA WILL MOVE ACROSS FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. DRY AND FRIGID
AIR RETURNS SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY NIGHT UNDER HIGH PRESSURE.
LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES MONDAY INTO TUESDAY BRINGING ANOTHER
CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER NEW ENG WITH SUNNY SKIES AND LIGHT
WINDS. AFTER ANOTHER COLD START TEMPS WILL RECOVER INTO THE MID
AND UPPER 20S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
TONIGHT...
HIGH PRES MOVES EAST OF NEW ENG AS LOW PRES DEVELOPS TO THE SOUTH.
LOW LEVEL EASTERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP WITH INCREASING WINDS ALONG
THE IMMEDIATE S COAST AND ISLANDS TOWARD DAYBREAK. MAY SEE SOME
LIGHT SNOW DEVELOP TOWARD DAYBREAK ACROSS PORTIONS OF N CT/RI AND
SE MA AS LEADING EDGE OF DEEPER MOISTURE AND MID LEVEL FORCING
APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTH. ANY ACCUM THROUGH 6 AM SHOULD BE LESS
THAN AN INCH SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE.
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...
SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM WILL IMPACT SNE AND WE UPGRADED WATCHES
TO WARNINGS FOR MOST OF THE INTERIOR WEST OF I-95. KEPT THE WATCH
GOING FOR PORTIONS OF RI AND E MA ALONG I-95 DUE TO UNCERTAINTY
IN THE RAIN SNOW LINE.
MODEL OVERVIEW...
ECMWF/UKMET REMAIN VERY CONSISTENT WITH A TRACK ACROSS THE CAPE
COD CANAL WHILE GFS/NAM/GGEM ARE SLIGHTLY FURTHER EAST ACROSS
NANTUCKET. GIVEN STRENGTH OF THE MID LEVEL SYSTEM CLOSING OFF AND
BECOMING NEG TILTED AND SHORTWAVE RIDGING TO THE NORTH ARGUES FOR
A FURTHER WEST TRACK SO WE LEANED TOWARD THE ECMWF FOR THIS
FORECAST. EXPLOSIVE CYCLOGENESIS TO OCCUR THU NIGHT AS THE LOW
MOVES UP ACROSS SE NEW ENG WITH SLP DOWN INTO THE 970S. GEFS
ENSEMBLE DATA HAVE A 3-4SD LOW LEVEL JET AND +2SD PWAT ANOMALY SO
CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THIS WILL BE A HEAVY PRECIP EVENT WITH
WIDESPREAD QPF GREATER THAN 1 INCH WITH LOW PROB OF 2" IF
CONVECTION CAN DEVELOP
PTYPE AND TIMING...
THERMAL PROFILE PLENTY COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SNOW AT THE ONSET
FOR ALL SNE INCLUDING THE CAPE/ISLANDS...BUT WITH CENTER OF HIGH
PRES TO THE EAST AND BL FLOW MORE ELY EXPECT LOW LEVEL WARMING
WILL CHANGE SNOW TO RAIN ALONG THE COAST WITH RAIN SNOW LINE
ADVANCING NW TO AREAS JUST WEST OF I-95 CORRIDOR. THERE IS STILL
SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH HOW FAR INLAND THE LOW LEVEL WARMING WILL
OCCUR BUT WE ARE CONFIDENT IT WILL GET TO AT LEAST THE I-95
CORRIDOR AND PROBABLY A LITTLE FURTHER WEST. THERE WILL LIKELY BE
A ZONE OF ICING IN THE CENTRAL INTERIOR FROM ABOUT BDL-ORH-MHT AS
WARMING IS FAIRLY PRONOUNCED IN THE 850-700 MB LAYER AND LOW LEVEL
COLD AIR WILL BE DIFFICULT TO ERODE. AREAS TO THE NW OF THIS LINE
FROM THE BERKSHIRES TO THE MONADNOCKS ARE MOST LIKELY TO REMAIN
MOSTLY SNOW ALTHOUGH SOME SLEET MAY MIX IN.
SNOW DEVELOPS THU MORNING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AS BAND OF MID
LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS LIFTS NORTH AND PROVIDES STRONG OMEGA THROUGH
THE SNOW GROWTH REGION. A PERIOD OF HEAVY SNOW WITH 1"/HOUR
SNOWFALL RATES IS LIKELY IN THE COASTAL PLAIN THU MORNING BEFORE
A CHANGEOVER TO RAIN IN THE AFTERNOON ALONG AND E OF I-95 BUT
EARLIER FOR THE CAPE/ISLANDS. TIMING OF CHANGEOVER TO SLEET/FZRA
FOR BDL-ORH-MHT LATE THU AND THU EVENING WITH MOSTLY SNOW TO THE
NORTH AND WEST OF THIS LINE.
DRY SLOT MOVES UP FROM THE SOUTH LATE THU/THU EVENING AND MAY SEE
A FEW TSTMS DEVELOP IN THE COASTAL PLAIN AS CONVECTIVE SIGNALS
ARE FAIRLY ROBUST.
DURING THU NIGHT...THERE ARE STRONG SIGNALS FOR A MESOSCALE SNOW
BAND DEVELOPING AS DEEPENING MID LEVEL LOW CENTER MOVES NE ACROSS
THE REGION AND MID LEVEL WARM FRONT AND TIGHTENING THERMAL
GRADIENT PROVIDES EXCELLENT LIFT THROUGH THE SNOW GROWTH REGION.
IT IS DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT THE EXACT LOCATION AS THIS WILL BE
DEPENDENT ON THE TRACK OF THE MID LEVEL LOW...BUT LATEST
FORECAST SUGGESTS AREAS FROM WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL MA THROUGH
SW NH WILL BE AT GREATEST RISK FOR HEAVY SNOW AND 1-2"/HOUR
SNOWFALL RATES. THE OTHER CONCERN IS FOR A PERIOD OF MODERATE
FREEZING RAIN IN PORTIONS OF N CT AND CENTRAL MA. PRECIP WILL
CHANGE BACK TO A PERIOD OF SNOW IN THE COASTAL PLAIN LATE THU
NIGHT BEFORE ENDING.
SNOWFALL/ICE FORECAST...
HEAVIEST SNOW ACCUM IS EXPECTED FROM THE BERKSHIRES TO THE
MONADNOCKS WHERE A FOOT OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE AND WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED TO SEE A FEW LOCATIONS APPROACH 18" WHERE PERSISTENT
BANDING OCCURS. BUT NOT SURE WHERE THIS WILL OCCUR AND IT IS
POSSIBLE IT COULD BE TO THE NORTH AND WEST. AMOUNTS DECREASE TO
THE EAST WITH FORECAST OF 6-10" FROM BDL-ORH-MHT...UP TO 6" NEAR
THE I-95 CORRIDOR AND 2-4" EAST OF I-95 ACROSS S RI AND SE MA.
AMOUNTS LESS THAN 2" LIKELY FOR CAPE/ISLANDS DUE TO QUICKER
CHANGEOVER TO RAIN. IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW...ICE ACCUM UP TO
0.25" POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF N CT INTO CENTRAL MA.
STRONG WIND...
STRONG LOW LEVEL JET LIFTS NORTH ACROSS SNE THU
AFTERNOON AND THU NIGHT. SOUNDINGS ARE NOT SUPPORTIVE OF GOOD
MIXING BUT STRONG PRESSURE FALLS AND TIGHTENING GRADIENT AS LOW
DEEPENS SUGGEST GUSTS TO 40-50 MPH POSSIBLE ALONG THE COAST. IT
APPEARS GREATEST RISK WILL BE ACROSS NE MA THU NIGHT AS LLJ
PERSISTS FOR SEVERAL HOURS. WIND ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED
ALONG THE COAST.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
*/MODEL PREFERENCE...
WITH THIS FORECAST WILL GO WITH A CONSENSUS-WEIGHTED BLEND OF THE
ECMWF/CANADIAN/UKMET. THE TIMING OF THE THREE IS SUCCINCT AS WELL AS
THE TRACK ACROSS THE CAPE COD CANAL. THOUGH MODELS HAVE ENHANCED THE
RIDGING NORTH OF THE STORM OVER THE LAST SEVERAL RUNS...FEEL THE
LACK OF ARCTIC AIR WILL ALLOW THE STORM TO HAVE A MORE INWARD TRACK
OF THE 40N/70W BENCHMARK. SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO TIMING...THE +NAO
WEIGHS TOWARDS A PROGRESSIVE FLOW. BUT WITH THE GENERAL TREND OF
OCCLUSION...THE SYSTEM MAY NOT MOVE OUT AS FAST AS THE NAM/GFS
SUGGESTS.
*/DETAILS...
OVERVIEW...
WITH CERTAINTY...ENERGY OF PACIFIC-ORIGIN WILL PHASE ACROSS THE SE
CONUS BENEATH THE RRQ OF THE UPPER-LEVEL JET AND ACROSS A STALLED
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. SUBSEQUENT CYCLOGENESIS EVOLVES INTO A STRONG AREA
OF LOW PRESSURE UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD AS PHASED ENERGY DIGS ROUND
THE TROUGH AXIS INVOKING A NEGATIVE-TILT H5 LOW BENEATH JET-COUPLING
OF RRQ AND LFQ OF SEPARATE NEIGHBORING JET-AXES.
STRONG DEEP-LAYER ASCENT NOT ONLY RESULTS IN A BOMBING SURFACE LOW
DOWN TO AROUND 980 MB UNDERGOING OCCLUSION...BUT ANOMALOUS SOUTHERLY
FLOW OF THE WARM-MOIST CONVEYER BELT /WCB/ AND HIGH PWATS ALONG
AND AHEAD WITH DRIER AIR WRAPPING IN FROM THE REAR AND COLD-
CONVEYER BELT FILTERING FROM THE NORTH AND EAST. WINDS ACCELERATE
AROUND THE LOW SUBSEQUENT TO A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT AS THE
THERMAL GRADIENT TIGHTENS IN PROXIMITY TO THE H85 LOW /ESPECIALLY
FROM THE EAST ALONG THE NE-QUADRANT OF THE SURFACE LOW/.
SNOW...
CONSIDERING A H5 CLOSED LOW AND ACCOMPANYING JET DYNAMICS...MAJORITY
OF LIFT AND SUBSEQUENT PRECIP WILL BE E/NE OF THE LOW ALONG THE WARM-
FRONT. EXPECTING A FRONT-END THUMP OF HEAVY SNOW INITIALLY FOR MUCH
OF THE REGION. 1- TO 2-INCH SNOWFALL RATES POSSIBLE WITH QUARTER
MILE OR LESS VISIBILITIES /A ROUGH MORNING COMMUTE/.
WILL SEE A TRANSITION TO RAIN IS EXPECTED FOR FAR S/SE NEW ENGLAND
BY AS LATE AS MIDDAY...WITH A WINTRY MIX ACROSS THE CENTRAL INTERIOR
DURING THE LATER-HALF OF THE DAY /SEE FURTHER DISCUSSION BELOW/. BUT
AREAS WELL NORTH AND WEST SHOULD REMAIN ALL SNOW. TRANSITION ZONE
WILL BE FOCUSED ALONG A COASTAL FRONT.
THE LOW TRACKING OVER THE CAPE COD CANAL BY MIDNIGHT WILL LIKELY BE
ACCOMPANIED BY A DRY SLOT. WHILE PRECIP MAY COME TO AN END S/E...A
SECONDARY-AREA OF ENHANCED PRECIP TO THE NW-QUADRANT OF THE H85 LOW
IS POSSIBLE. MESOSCALE SNOW-BANDING IS ANTICIPATED AS THE CYCLONIC
BRANCH OF THE WCB CONVERGES WITHIN REGIONS OF BETTER DEFORMATION AND
MID-LEVEL FORCING THROUGH THE SNOW-GROWTH REGION WHERE DECENT LAPSE
RATES ABOVE H7 RESIDE /SOME DECENT INSTABILITY PARAMETERS HINT AT
POSSIBLE THUNDERSNOW/. COULD SEE ANOTHER PERIOD ESPECIALLY FOR THE
N/W INTERIOR OF 1- TO 2-INCH PER HOUR SNOWFALL RATES AND QUARTER
MILE OR LESS VISIBILITIES. GREATEST SNOWFALL AMOUNTS MAY OCCUR ALONG
EASTERN SLOPES OF HIGHER TERRAIN WHERE CONVERGENCE WITHIN THE LOW-
LEVELS COULD BE MAXIMIZED.
WINTRY MIX...
TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE BOMBING LOW UNDERGOING OCCLUSION...WILL SEE
STRONG ONSHORE E/SE-FLOW WITH THE APPROACHING STORM EARLY THURSDAY
INTO THURSDAY EVENING. LACK OF ARCTIC AIR IN PLACE...FEEL AN EROSION
OF COLDER AIR WILL TAKE PLACE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY FOR THE SHORES AND
COASTAL PLAINS...GRADUALLY MORESO TOWARDS THE HARTFORD- WORCESTER-
AND MANCHESTER-METRO AREAS WHERE THERE IS LIKELY TO BE A WINTRY MIX
OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN. ANTICIPATING A PERIOD CENTERED AROUND
THE LATER-HALF OF THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT WITH POTENTIAL ICE
ACCUMULATIONS OF ONE- TO TWO-TENTHS. CHANGE BACK TO SNOW OCCURRING
AROUND MIDNIGHT FRIDAY IF THE DRY SLOT DOESN/T WIN OUT FIRST AND
ERODE ALL PRECIPITATION.
WIND...
BOMBING LOW UNDERGOING OCCLUSION TOWARDS MIDNIGHT FRIDAY RESULTS IN
STRONG EASTERLY FLOW 2 KFT AGL POSSIBLY IN EXCESS OF 50 MPH. WIND
HEADLINES MAY BE NECESSARY FOR THE SHORELINES AND PERHAPS THE
COASTAL PLAINS. STILL DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN. EAST WINDS WILL LIKELY
RESULT IN THE IMMEDIATE EAST-SHORELINE CHANGING OVER TO RAIN AS
WARMER AIR IS GRADUALLY DRAWN IN OFF THE OCEAN. AS FOR COASTAL
ISSUES...SEE THE DISCUSSION BELOW.
FINAL NOTES...
IF THERE IS ANY CONFIDENCE TO BE GAINED IT IS PERHAPS FROM THE CIPS
ANALOGS. ANALOGS DERIVED FROM THE 11.12Z GFS HAVE THE GREATEST
PROBABILITY OF HEAVY SNOW TOWARDS THE N/W PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA WITH DECENT CHANCES OF ICE TO THE S/E INTERIOR OF SNE. ALSO THE
MEAN SNOWFALL OUTPUT FROM AN INCLUSION OF ALL ANALOGS HAS AT LEAST
BROAD-SCALE 10+ INCHES OF SNOW N/W WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS.
*/FRIDAY...
STORM RAPIDLY PROGRESSES TO THE CANADIAN MARITIME PROVINCES FRI
MORNING TAKING ANY LAST BITS OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION WITH IT. GUSTY
WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS EARLY SHOULD DIMINISH IN THE AFTERNOON AS
THE GRADIENT RAPIDLY RELAXES. HAVE GIVEN PREFERENCE TO THE ECMWF
MODEL WHICH HAS SOME BONA FIDE SUNSHINE FRI AFTERNOON IN THE WAKE
OF THE STORM AS OPPOSED TO THE GFS WHICH CONTINUES TO ROTATE
CLOUDS AND FLURRIES ACROSS THE REGION. HIGHS MAY ONLY REACH LOWER
TO MID 30S IN NW MA AND SW NH WITH THE GREATER SNOWPACK AND WHERE
850 MB TEMPS ARE NEAR -5C. BUT IN SE MA/CT/RI COULD WARM TO NEAR
40 OR PERHAPS LOWER 40S WITH 850 TEMPS AT OR ABOVE 0C.
*/FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...
VERY HIGH AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY IN THIS TIME PERIOD. WHAT APPEARS
CERTAIN IS THAT IT WILL BE A MOSTLY CLOUDY PERIOD AS AN UPPER
LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE AREA ALONG WITH SOME SORT
OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE REFLECTION. ALL MODELS HAVE LOW PRESSURE
STARTING OUT IN SOUTHEAST MONTANA ON FRIDAY. THE CANADIAN DIGS IT
DEEP INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. IT THEN MOVES FROM KENTUCKY TO NORTH
CAROLINA AND DEEPENS OFF THE COAST OF NANTUCKET BY SATURDAY
EVENING GIVING US A WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW. WE HAVE
TAKEN THIS INTO CONSIDERATION BUT HAVE OPTED MORE TOWARD A BLEND
OF THE GFS AND ECMWF. THE ECMWF IS ALSO NEAR NANTUCKET BUT 12
HOURS EARLIER AND 12 MB WEAKER THAN THE CANADIAN. THE GFS IS EVEN
FARTHER NORTH AND WEAKER STILL. BOTH GIVE US SOME LIGHT SNOWFALL.
FOR NOW HAVE CONTINUED CHANCE PROBABILITIES OF SNOW
SHOWERS...EXCEPT RAIN OR SNOW SOUTHEAST MA.
*/SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...
FRIGID NORTHWEST FLOW AGAIN ACROSS THE AREA AS A STRONG HIGH
PRESSURE SYSTEM SETTLES IN. 850 MB TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO
REACH ABOUT -20C. DAYTIME HIGHS SUNDAY ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN IN
THE 20S WITH LOWS BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHTS IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS EXCEPT TEENS AT THE IMMEDIATE COAST.
*/MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...
SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES BUT IN GENERAL LOW PRESSURE MOVES FROM
THE GREAT LAKES TO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. GUSTY SOUTHERLY FLOW
AHEAD OF IT WILL INCREASE MOISTURE WHICH WILL OVERRUN THE COLD AIR
MASS IN PLACE AND LEAD TO A CHANCE OF SNOW OR SNOW CHANGING TO
RAIN.

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
LOW ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES SHOULD PRECLUDE A SIGNIFICANT COASTAL
FLOOD RISK WITH THE THU/THU NIGHT STORM. NONETHELESS...WE BELIEVE
THAT A 2 TO 2.5 FT SURGE WITH WAVES 15 TO 20 FT JUST OFFSHORE
MAY OCCUR AND THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH FOR POCKETS OF MINOR COASTAL
FLOODING AND SOME EROSION FROM SALISBURY TO PLYMOUTH ALONG E
COASTAL MA FOR THE LATE THU EVENING HIGH TIDE. PROBABLY THE AREA
TO KEEP THE CLOSEST EYE ON WOULD BE THE REACH OF SHORELINE FROM
SALISBURY TO CAPE ANN WHERE THE MODEL CONSENSUS PLACES THE CORE OF
THE LOW LEVEL JET AROUND TIME OF HIGH TIDE...GENERALLY 1030 TO 11
PM EST. A SECONDARY SPOT TO WATCH WOULD BE THE HULL TO SCITUATE
REACH OF SHORELINE WHICH HAS A NE OR ENE ASPECT.
