AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
335 AM EST SUN JAN 18 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST TODAY AND MOVES THROUGH
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT. LOW PRESSURE WAVE DEVELOPS ON THE
FRONT OVER THE CAROLINAS AND MOVES NORTHEAST OVER SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND TONIGHT. COLDER AIR AND WIND FOLLOWS ON MONDAY. BREEZY
WEST WINDS IN WAKE OF SUNDAYS STORM MAINTAINS COOLER-THAN- AVERAGE
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE REGION. A CLIPPER-LOW WILL SLIDE SOUTH OF
NEW ENGLAND WEDNESDAY BRINGING WITH IT THE POTENTIAL FOR SNOW.
COOLER AND DRIER WEATHER LOOKS TO FOLLOW THEREAFTER TOWARDS THE
END OF WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...

THROUGH 8 AM...
ONE AREA OF CLOUDS QUICKLY FORMED OVER EASTERN CT AND RI/EASTERN
MASS...THEN DRIFTED EAST. THE MAIN AREA OF CLOUDS IS MOVING UP THE
COAST SHOULD REACH THE CT COAST 10Z TO 1030Z...THEN COVER SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND BY 13Z. SO THERE MAY BE A LITTLE SUN TO START THE DAY
BUT OVERALL THE CHARACTER WILL BE FOR CLOUDS. TEMPERATURES HAVE
BEEN STEADY SINCE MIDNIGHT BUT SHOULD TREND WARMER WIT THE CLOUDS.

TODAY...
TROUGH DIGGING OVER THE GREAT LAKES/OHIO VALLEY IS GRABBING AT
SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE. THE PHASING OF THE TWO WILL CREATE A
NEGATIVE TILT TO THE SHORTWAVE AXIS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
THIS WILL BRING THE SOUTHERN SHORTWAVE ENERGY NORTH UP THE COAST
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND DEVELOP A SURFACE LOW EITHER OVER
THE CAROLINAS OR ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. THE UPPER FLOW WILL
ALSO DRAW SOUTHERN MOISTURE UP THE COAST WITH PRECIP WATER VALUES
OF 0.8 INCHES REACHING SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

FIRST QUESTION IS TIMING OF PCPN. AT PRESS TIME IT WAS IN THE
CAROLINAS AND WILL TAKE A FEW HOURS TO MOVE UP THE COAST. BASED ON
THAT AND ON MODEL SOUNDINGS WE ESTIMATE PCPN TO CT 15Z/CENTRAL NEW
ENGLAND 16Z/EASTERN NEW ENGLAND 18Z. EVAPORATION INTO THE DRY
LOWER LEVEL AIR MAY SLOW THIS ONSET BY A COUPLE OF HOURS.

SECOND QUESTION IS P-TYPE. FORECAST TEMPERATURE PROFILES ALL SHOW
TEMPS ABOVE FREEZING THROUGH 5000 FEET AGL BY THE TIME THE PCPN
ARRIVES. MOST AREAS WILL HAVE RAIN.

ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO MARITIME HIGH AND COLD AIR DAMMING...THERE
IS SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER ALL OF THE BELOW FREEZING AIR
WILL GET SCOURED OUT BY PCPN TIME. WE THINK IT WILL IN MOST
PLACES. IF ANYONE HOLDS ONTO THE COLD...IT WILL BE NORTHWEST MASS
AND EVEN THERE IT WILL BE BRIEF. WE WILL FORECAST SOME INITIAL
SNOW/FREEZING DRIZZLE IN THIS AREA BEFORE THE CHANGEOVER. IF ANY
SNOW DOES FORM...ACCUMS SHOULD BE AN INCH OR LESS...AND ANY TRACE
OF FREEZING PCPN WILL CAUSE SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. COLD GROUND COULD
ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO THE LATTER. SO WE WILL ALSO POST A WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY FOR FRANKLIN AND WESTERN HAMPSHIRE/WESTERN
HAMPDEN WHERE THESE MARGINAL CHANCES ARE AT THEIR BEST.

THIRD QUESTION IS ABOUT RAIN AMOUNTS. THIS IS JUST BELOW 2 STD DEV
ABOVE NORMAL FOR JANUARY. SO WE COULD HAVE SOME LOCALLY HEAVY
DOWNPOURS EMBEDDED IN THE RAIN. BUT NOT EXPECTED ANY GENERAL
FLOODING FROM IT. AT MOST...SOME OF THE USUAL POOR DRAINAGE FLOOD
PRONE SPOTS MAY BE AT RISK.

FOURTH QUESTION WILL BE WIND. MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A 50-60
KNOT LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPING ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST THIS
MORNING AND MOVING ACROSS OUR AREA THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING...WITH
PREFERENCE FOR RI AND EASTERN MASS. A LOW LEVEL INVERSION SHOULD
BUFFER SOME OF THIS WIND FROM REACHING THE SURFACE...BUT GUSTS OF
25 TO 30 KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY IN THE COASTAL PLAIN AND
CAPE/ISLANDS.

THE POSITIONING OF THE JET AND THE TRACK OF THE LOW TOWARD THE CT
COAST WILL ESTABLISH A ZONE OF GOOD ISENTROPIC LIFT OVER OUR AREA.
THIS WILL AID IN BUILDING RAINFALL RATES THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. ALSO...TOTALS CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 4OS AND LOWER 50S THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SO SOME ISOLATED THUNDER IS ALSO POSSIBLE.

TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB THROUGH THE DAY WITH A TARGET IN THE UPPER
30S AND 40S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...

TONIGHT...
CONTINUED RAIN AND ISOLATED THUNDER AND GUSTY WINDS THE FIRST PART
OF THE NIGHT. THE LOW SHOULD CROSS OUR AREA BETWEEN 00Z AND 06Z
MOVING THE LIFT ZONE NORTHEAST OF US AND SWEEPING A COLD FRONT
ACROSS THE REGION. THIS SHOULD TAPER OFF THE RAIN BY AROUND
MIDNIGHT GIVE OR TAKE A COUPLE OF HOURS. SOME COLDER AIR COULD
WRAP AROUND AND BRING A FINAL BRIEF CHANCE OF SNOW IN THE
BERKSHIRE EAST SLOPES BEFORE ENDING OVERNIGHT.

TOTAL QPF LOOKS TO BE IN THE 0.75 TO 1.5 INCH RANGE OVER 12 HOURS.
WE WILL HOLD OFF ON A FLOOD WATCH AT THIS POINT. AS NOTED
ABOVE...NO GENERAL THREAT BUT SOME POTENTIAL IN POOR DRAINAGE
AREAS.

MONDAY...

LOW PRESSURE MOVES OFF INTO EASTERN CANADA. THE TRAILING UPPER
TROUGH AND COLD POOL WILL MOVE OVERHEAD. THIS COLD ADVECTION ALOFT
WILL GENERATE SOME DAYTIME STRATOCU AND COULD POP UP A STRAY SNOW
SHOWER ESPECIALLY IN NORTHWEST MASS. THE COLD ADVECTION WILL ALSO
ALLOW MIXING TO AT LEAST 925 MB WHERE WINDS WILL BE AROUND 30
KNOTS. SO WE EXPECT WIND GUSTS TO APPROACH 30 KNOTS DURING THE
DAY.

&&

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

 - BREEZY AND REMAINING COLD THROUGH TUESDAY
 - CLIPPER LOW WEDNESDAY WITH POTENTIAL SNOW IMPACTS
 - A CONTINUED UNCERTAIN LATE WEEK INTO WEEKEND FORECAST

*/ OVERVIEW...

NOTHING MUCH HAS CHANGED. TELECONNECTION PATTERNS CONTINUE TO JOSTLE
SIGNIFICANTLY OUT BEYOND MIDWEEK OF NEXT WEEK. UNCERTAINTY ABOUNDS.
HEMISPHERICALLY THIS APPEARS A CONSEQUENCE OF A WEAKENED POLAR LOW
ROUND WHICH FRAGMENTED ENERGY IS STREWN THROUGHOUT POLAR LATITUDES.
NOT ABSOLUTELY SURE...BUT REMAINED CONSERVATIVE AND KEPT CLOSE TO AN
ENSEMBLE MEAN FORECAST.

*/ DAILIES...

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...

IN WAKE OF THE SUNDAY STORM SYSTEM...BLUSTERY W-FLOW PREVAILING THRU
WHICH AN ARCTIC AIRMASS IS MAINTAINED ACROSS OUR REGION YIELDING
SLIGHTLY BELOW-AVERAGE TEMPERATURES. DRIER AIR AND ATTENDANT HIGH
PRESSURE WRAPPING REARWARD OF THE STORM STRENGTHENS AN INVERSION
OVER S NEW ENGLAND LIMITING BOUNDARY-LAYER MIXING UP AROUND H950.
GUSTY WINDS CAN BE ANTICIPATED POTENTIALLY UPWARDS OF 40 MPH OVER
THE HIGH TERRAIN AND WARMER OCEAN WATERS. CLOUDS ERODING DURING THE
INITIAL PORTION OF THE FORECAST BECOMING MOSTLY CLEAR.

WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...

TIGHTER CLUSTERING OF ENSEMBLE MEMBERS AND DETERMINISTIC FORECASTS
YIELDS A MODERATE CONFIDENCE FORECAST. CONSENSUS BLEND HAS CLIPPER-
LOW ROTATING THRU THE BROADER CYCLONIC FLOW WELL OFFSHORE TO THE S
OF NEW ENGLAND N OF WHICH THE ISALLOBARIC WIND COMPONENT ENTRENCHES
COLDER AIR S ACROSS OUR REGION KEEPING THE AVERAGE ONE- TO TWO-TENTH
PRECIPITATION OUTCOME MAINLY AS SNOW. IMPACTS WOULD BE FELT ALONG
AND S OF THE MA-PIKE POTENTIALLY UPON BOTH MORNING AND AFTERNOON
COMMUTES ESPECIALLY ALONG THE IMMEDIATE S-COAST WHERE ADVISORY-LEVEL
SNOWS ARE QUITE POSSIBLE. BUT WE MAY HAVE ONLY SEEN THE FLOP AND AM
NOT READY TO GO ALL-IN. AM SPECULATIVE AND BELIEVE ALTERATIONS TO
THE FORECAST ARE LIKELY AS THE ASSOCIATED ENERGY TO THE CLIPPER-LOW
IS JUST COMING ASHORE ALONG THE W-CONUS BECOMING BETTER SAMPLED.
BELIEVE MOST OF THE REGION WILL REMAIN COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW...BUT AS
TO THE CLIPPER-LOW TRACK WITH RESPECT TO S NEW ENGLAND...ITS QUITE
POSSIBLE THE LOW STAYS WELL S OF NEW ENGLAND TO RESULT IN ANY IMPACT
WHATSOEVER.

THURSDAY ONWARD...

EC- AND GFS-ENSEMBLE MEMBERS AS WELL AS DETERMINISTIC FORECASTS
CONTINUE TO HINT AS A POTENTIAL PHASING / INTERACTION OF N- AND S-
STREAM IMPULSES INVOKING AN OFFSHORE LOW S OF NEW ENGLAND IN AREAS
OF BETTER BAROCLINICITY TOWARDS THE WEEKEND. WHILE LIKELY ARCTIC AIR
IS REINFORCED IN WAKE OF THE CLIPPER-LOW...CONTINUE TO HAVE NO
CONFIDENCE WITH THE FORECAST. WAY TOO MUCH VARIABILITY / UNCERTAINTY
AS MODELS CONTINUE TO POORLY HANDLE INDIVIDUAL N- AND S-STREAM
IMPULSES. WILL GO OUT WITH ENSEMBLE MEANS BUT ONLY THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...

INCREASING SKY COVER WITH MAINLY VFR CIGS.

TODAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TRENDS AND MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN
TIMING.

RAIN DEVELOPS MID TO LATE MORNING AND SPREADS ALL AREAS DURING THE
AFTERNOON. CIGS AND VSBYS WILL LOWER THROUGH THE DAY. CIGS WILL
REACH LOW-END MVFR LEVELS WITH IFR TOWARD EVENING. VSBYS WILL
LOWER TO MVFR BY THIS AFTERNOON WITH AREAS OF IFR AND LIFR IN
HEAVIER DOWNPOURS. ISOLATED TSTMS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON.
LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR IS LIKELY DURING THE AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY
IN RI AND EASTERN/CENTRAL MASS AS A SOUTHERLY JET OF 50-60 KNOTS
MOVES OVERHEAD AT 2000 FEET AGL. SURFACE WIND GUSTS 25 TO 30 KNOTS
ESPECIALLY ON CAPE COD AND ISLANDS.

TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TRENDS AND MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN
TIMING.

IFR CIGS/VSBYS IN THE EARLY NIGHT DUE TO RAIN AND ISOLATED TSTMS.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...

SOUTH WINDS WILL INCREASE TODAY WITH GUSTS REACHING 25 TO 30
KNOTS. STRONG WINDS WILL MOVE OVERHEAD THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
AT 2000 FEET ABOVE THE SURFACE. SOME OF THIS WIND WILL BE BROUGHT
TO THE SURFACE IN GUSTS. THESE WINDS WILL INTENSIFY AS THE SYSTEM
MOVES NORTHEAST...WITH 35 KNOT GUSTS POSSIBLE ON THE FAR EASTERN
WATERS. A GALE WARNING IS NOW IN EFFECT FOR THESE EASTERN OUTER
WATERS...WHILE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE IN EFFECT ALL OTHER
WATERS. EXPECT SEAS TO BUILD THROUGH THE DAY WITH 8 TO 11 FOOT
HEIGHTS POSSIBLE ON THE EXPOSED WATERS.

THE SYSTEM CROSSES SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND EARLY TONIGHT AND SWINGS A
COLD FRONT ACROSS THE WATERS AROUND MIDNIGHT. THAT SHOULD SHIFT
WINDS FROM SOUTHERLY TO WESTERLY FOR THE LATTER PART OF THE NIGHT.
GALES SHOULD DIMINISH WITH THE WIND SHIFT. SEAS WILL REMAIN 8 TO
11 FEET ON THE EXPOSED WATERS THROUGH THE NIGHT.

WEST WINDS ON MONDAY WILL FEATURE GUSTS TO AROUND 30 KNOTS WITH
CONTINUED ROUGH SEAS THROUGH THE DAY. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE
EITHER IN EFFECT OR WILL BE NEEDED THROUGH THE DAY.

BELOW 5-FEET TOWARDS WEDNESDAY MORNING. POCKETS OF MINOR FREEZING
SPRAY POSSIBLE.

WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

CLIPPER-LOW TRACKING WELL S OF NEW ENGLAND N OF WHICH SNOW AND VSBY
RESTRICTIONS ARE POSSIBLE MAINLY OVER THE S-WATERS. AS THE STORM
SWEEPS OUT INTO THE ATLANTIC...EXPECT AN INCREASE IN N/NW-FLOW TO
NEAR GALE-FORCE AROUND WEDNESDAY NIGHT DIMINISHING THEREAFTER.
ANTICIPATE SEAS ON THE OUTER WATERS AT LEAST TO BUILD UP TO 5-FEET.
