AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1252 PM EST WED FEB 4 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A FEW LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS OR FLURRIES IS POSSIBLE TODAY AS A WEAK
CLIPPER LOW SWEEPS ACROSS THE AREA. THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT
STALLS OFFSHORE THURSDAY. LOW PRESSURE FORMS ALONG THE FRONT AND
PASSES OFFSHORE OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BRINGING SNOW TO THE
REGION. FRIGID AND BITTERLY COLD WIND CHILLS FOLLOWS BEHIND THE
ARCTIC FRONT THU AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. COLD AND MAINLY DRY WEATHER
PREVAILS FRI. PERIODS OF LIGHT SNOW OR FLURRIES ARE POSSIBLE THIS
WEEKEND WITH A MORE SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL POSSIBLE LATER SUNDAY
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1 PM UPDATE...
BULK OF THE SNOW SHOWERS HAVE DISSIPATED AS WEAK WARM FRONT IS
SHIFTING N. THIS IS EVIDENT AS WINDS HAVE SHIFTED MAINLY SW WITH
DWPTS ALREADY IN THE TEENS AND LOW 20S ACROSS THE AREA. SUSPECT
THIS BREAK WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

LOOKING AT INCREASING CLOUDS THIS MORNING WITH A WEAK SHORTWAVE
APPROACHING SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  AS CLOUDS INCREASE AND THE
SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS/JUST NORTH OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...COULD
SEE A PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW/FLURRIES ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND.  THE GREATEST CHANCE OF THIS/GREATEST CHANCE OF
ACCUMULATION /1-2 INCHES AT MOST/ IS ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN
ZONES...NEAREST TO THE SHORTWAVE.

ASIDE FROM THE SNOW...SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO
CLIMB INTO THE 30S ACROSS THE REGION...TO NEAR 40 ON THE CAPE AND
ISLANDS. HOWEVER...AN INCREASING LOW LEVEL JET WILL RESULT IN GUSTY
WINDS AND WIND CHILLS IN THE TEENS AND 20S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
CLIPPER LOW MOVES INTO MARITIMES PULLING A STRONG COLD FRONT INTO
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THEN OFFSHORE THURSDAY.
THIS IS EXPECTED TO BRING SNOW SHOWERS TO ALL OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND IN TWO ROUNDS.  ONE WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO EARLY THURSDAY AND A SECOND WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT
DEVELOPS OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST AND MOVES ALONG THE FRONT
SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET LATE THURSDAY.

WHILE ACCUMULATIONS ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT...ESPECIALLY
COMPARED TO THE LAST COUPLE OF STORMS...THERE IS POTENTIAL THAT SOME
AREAS REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA /3-5 INCHES/.  THE HIGHEST LIKELIHOOD
OF THIS OCCURRING IS ACROSS NORTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS.  HOWEVER...
THERE IS STILL ENOUGH UNCERTAINTY IN REACHING ADVISORY AMOUNTS THAT
WE ARE OPTING NOT TO ISSUE AN ADVISORY WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE.
MUCH OF THE UNCERTAINTY REVOLVES AROUND THE POTENTIAL LOW PRESSURE
FORMING AND HOW CLOSE IT GETS TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AS IT PASSES
BY SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

AFTER SOMEWHAT WARMER TEMPERATURES TODAY...WE WILL RETURN TO
CHILLIER TEMPERATURES TONIGHT AND THURSDAY WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER
TEENS TO 20S FOR MOST AREAS...LOW 30S FOR THE URBAN AREAS AND THE
CAPE AND ISLANDS.  HIGH TEMPERATURES THURSDAY WILL ONLY BE A COUPLE
OF DEGREES WARMER THAN THE LOWS AND TEMPERATURES WILL PLUMMET
THROUGH THE DAY THURSDAY...PARTICULARLY AFTER THE FRONT MOVES
OFFSHORE.

FINALLY...NORTHWESTERLY WIND GUSTS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL INCREASE IN
STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION.  THESE INCREASING WIND GUSTS COUPLED WITH
THE PLUMMETING TEMPERATURES WILL RESULT IN WIND CHILLS DROPPING
BELOW ZERO VERY QUICKLY THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* FRIGID AND BITTERLY COLD THU NIGHT
* MAINLY DRY BUT COLD FRI
* A PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW/FLURRIES SAT FOLLOWED BY MORE SIGNIFICANT
  SNOWFALL POSSIBLE LATE SUN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK

HIGH LATITUDE RIDGING THIS PERIOD SETS THE STAGE FOR AN ACTIVE
WEATHER PATTERN...WITH ONE HEIGHT ANOMALY NEAR/OVER THE BERING SEA
PROVIDING A SPLIT FLOW REGIME INTO THE CONUS. THIS COMBINED WITH
ANOTHER HEIGHT ANOMALY OVER THE NORTH ATLANTIC WILL PROMOTE A BROAD
LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND NORTHEAST. HENCE AN ACTIVE
PATTERN WITH THE POLAR JET POSSIBLY INTERACTING WITH NUMEROUS
SOUTHERN STREAM WAVES.

UNFORTUNATELY THIS TYPE OF PATTERN OFFERS LOW PREDICTABILITY WITH
TIMING AND PHASING ISSUES. THUS WE WILL USE A MODEL BLEND AS A
BASELINE AND TO PROVIDE SOME FORECAST CONTINUITY.

DAILY SENSIBLE WEATHER...

THU NIGHT...DANGEROUSLY COLD WITH ARCTIC AIRMASS OVERSPREADING THE
REGION ALONG WITH BITTERLY COLD WIND CHILLS IN RESPONSE TO NNW WINDS
GUSTING UP TO 45 MPH! LATER SHIFTS WILL LIKELY NEED TO HOIST A WIND
CHILL ADVISORY AS VALUES FALL TO -15 TO -20F ACROSS THE INTERIOR.

FRI...VERY COLD START TO THE DAY BUT WINDS EASE DURING THE AFTERNOON
ALONG WITH SOME WEAK WARM AIR ADVECTION COMMENCING. DRY WEATHER
PREVAILS.

SAT...TIMING AND AMPLITUDE ISSUES BEGIN TO CROP UP HERE IN THIS
SPLIT FLOW REGIME. GFS MORE ROBUST THAN ECMWF WITH NORTHERN STREAM
MOISTURE. THUS COULD BE A PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW OR FLURRIES.

SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...LIKELY UNSETTLED AS POLAR FRONT SETS
UP SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND. ARCTIC HIGH OVER QUEBEC PROVIDES MOIST
POLAR MARITIME FLOW INTO NEW ENGLAND. HENCE OVERRUNNING PRECIP
SETUP. THEN ALL MODELS AGREE ON TROUGH AMPLIFICATION OVER THE OH
VALLEY WHICH INDUCES CYCLOGENESIS OVER THE MID ATLC STATES LATE SUN
INTO MON...THEN POSSIBLY SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND TUE.  TOO EARLY FOR
DETAILS BUT GIVEN PROLONG PERIOD OF OVERRUNNING ALONG WITH POTENTIAL
COASTAL/OCEAN STORM...INCREASED RISK FOR APPRECIABLE SNOWFALL LATER
SUN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

HIGH CONFIDENCE. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES CONTINUE FOR MOST OF THE
COASTAL WATERS FOR A COMBINATION OF SEAS OVER 5 FEET AND WINDS
GUSTING OVER 25 KTS. THERE MAY BE A LULL IN WINDS/SEAS FOR A FEW
HOURS THIS MORNING BEFORE THEY INCREASE AGAIN IN ADVANCE OF A
CLIPPER LOW/COLD FRONTAL SYSTEM. HAVE ALSO ISSUED A GALE WATCH FOR
ALL WATERS FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY NIGHT.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

THURSDAY NIGHT...ARCTIC FRONT MOVES OFFSHORE WITH N-NW GALES
BECOMING WELL ESTABLISHED. HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY POSSIBLE NEAR SHORE.
SNOW SHOWERS OVER EASTERN MA WATERS MAY LOWER VSBY AT TIMES.

FRIDAY...DIMINISHING NORTHWEST WINDS AND BECOMING WEST IN THE
AFTERNOON. DRY WEATHER AND GOOD VSBY.

SATURDAY...ANOTHER ARCTIC FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE WATERS IN THE LATE
AFTERNOON WITH SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS. SOUTHWEST WINDS BECOME
NORTHWEST AT NIGHT.

SUNDAY...ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS NORTH OF NEW ENGLAND. WINDS
TURN NORTH AND NORTHEAST BECOMING GUSTY AS WELL.  LOW PRESSURE
APPROACHING FROM THE PLAINS WILL SPREAD SNOW ACROSS THE WATERS
DURING THE DAY...ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND NIGHT...WITH LOWER
VSBYS IN THE SNOW.
