AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
340 PM EDT SAT MAR 14 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
MODERATE RAIN GIVES WAY TO FOG AND DRIZZLE OVERNIGHT. SOME SNOW
AND RAIN SHOWERS WITH LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED ESPECIALLY
EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLAND. DRY WEATHER RETURNS
MONDAY FOLLOWED BY A FEW RAIN SHOWERS MONDAY NIGHT AS AN ARCTIC
FRONT APPROACHES. BLUSTERY AND UNSEASONABLY COLD WEATHER ARRIVES
FOR TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...THEN A STORM MAY IMPACT THE
REGION LATE FRI INTO SAT BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
A COMBINATION OF MSAS PRES DATA AND SFC OBS SUGGEST THAT LOW PRES
IS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP SOMEWHERE IN THE ERN CT/WRN RI VICINITY.
THIS IS ALONG NOSE OF DEVELOPING 50-60 KT LLJ WHICH WILL CONTINUE
TO SLIDE MAINLY NEAR THE S COAST THROUGH THIS EVENING...UNTIL THE
SFC LOW MOVES OFFSHORE. THEREFORE...WITH MODERATE MOISTURE FLUX
AND DECENT LIFT WITHIN THE REGION OF CYCLOGENESIS...WILL CONTINUE
TO SEE PERIODS OF MODERATE RAIN ACROSS THE REGION INTO THE EVENING
HOURS. WILL BE SHIFTING THE QPF AXIS A BIT FURTHER N THAN PREVIOUS
FORECAST AS MOD RAIN IS BEING REPORTED IN PLACES LIKE ORANGE AND
FITCHBURG. STILL SUSPECT HOWEVER THAT MAINLY 0.50 TO 1.00 INCHES
OF TOTAL RAINFALL IS EXPECTED BY THE EVENING. PRIMARY
ISSUE...STILL REMAINS LOCALIZED PONDING OF WATER AND NUISANCE POOR
DRAINAGE FLOODING ESPECIALLY IN THE URBAN AREAS. THE CONTINUOUSLY
RIPENING SNOWPACK SHOULD HAVE NO ISSUE HANDLING THE EXPECTED
LIQUID.

THERE ARE TWO KEY POINTS FOR THE OVERNIGHT FORECAST AND BOTH HAVE
TO DO WITH POTENTIAL FOR FREEZING. MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE
ROBUST DRY SLOT SHIFTING INTO SNE BY LATE EVENING ALOFT. ALREADY SEEING
THIS ACROSS SRN NJ INTO THE NYC METRO. SO THROUGH THE
EVENING...EXPECT AN END TO PRECIP FROM SW TO NE. HOWEVER...GIVEN
THE DRY AIR COMES IN ALOFT FIRST AND LITTLE COLD ADVECTION IS
EXPECTED UNTIL MORNING...COULD SEE A PERIOD OF DRIZZLE/FOG DEVELOP
EVEN AS RAINS COME TO AN END.

IT IS THIS FOG/DRIZZLE POTENTIAL...COUPLED WITH WET GROUND FOR
DAYTIME RAINS THAT COULD YIELD BLACK ICE IN SOME SPOTS AS TEMPS
SLOWLY DECLINE. A SPECIAL STATEMENT COULD BE NEEDED FOR THIS
THREAT. WILL NOT BE ISSUING WITH THIS UPDATE THOUGH...AS IT IS
LIKELY TO TAKE SOME TIME FOR TEMPS TO DROP BELOW FREEZING GIVEN
CLOUDY SKIES AND LITTLE COLD ADVECTION UNTIL MORNING. EVEN MOS
TEMPS REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING WELL INTO THE EVENING HOURS.
HOWEVER...DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE ICY THREAT HERE AS THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS COULD SEE A FAIR AMOUNT OF BLACK ICE ESPECIALLY
WHERE SHOWERS END THE EARLIEST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
*** MINOR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE TOMORROW ACROSS EASTERN
 MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLAND ***

TOMORROW...
LOW PRES WILL BE DEEPENING IN THE GULF OF MAINE EARLY AS VERY
STRONG UPPER LVL VORTEX WILL BE DIVING SE INTO NEW
ENGLAND...FORCING A CUTOFF OF THE H5 LOW. WHILE THE CENTER OF THIS
UPPER LVL CUTOFF WILL REMAIN TO THE N. THE COLD AIR ASSOCIATED
WITH IT COMBINED WITH MODERATE COLD ADVECTION NEAR THE BOUNDARY
LAYER WILL YIELD TWO AREAS OF STEEPENING LAPSE RATES THROUGH THE
COLUMN ATTENDANT WITH INVERTED SFC TROF ROTATING ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. BETWEEN ABOUT H7 AND H4...NOTE
6-7C/KM LAPSE RATES AND NOTE EVEN SOME MINOR SFC INSTABILITY NEAR
THE EAST COAST OF MA WITHIN THE BL AS LAPSE RATES APPROACH DRY
ADIABATIC.

THEREFORE...WILL LIKELY SEE SOME SHOWERS DEVELOP THROUGH THE LATE
MORNING AND AFTERNOON TIMEFRAME TOMORROW. THE CLOSER ONE GETS TO
THE E SHORELINE...THE STRONGER THE COLD ADVECTION APPEARS TO BE.
THEREFORE...AS ONE MOVES FROM W TO E...BETTER CHANCES FOR DYNAMIC
COOLING AND HEIGHT CRASHES ARE NOTED. SO SUSPECT WE WILL SEE SOME
SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS PORTIONS OF E MA WITH A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW
SHOWERS POSSIBLE FOR AREAS FROM THE WORCESTER HILLS INTO E
RI...WHERE LIFT IS WEAKER AND COLD ADVECTION IS WEAKER.

WITH A N-NW WIND...THE COMBINATION OF THE LOW LVL INSTABILITY AND
SOME OCEAN ENHANCEMENT COULD YIELD A BRIEF PERIOD OF MODERATE
SNOWFALL AND POTENTIALLY EVEN BRIEFLY HEAVY AS SOME OF THE MID LVL
INSTABILITY FALLS IN THE DENDRITE ZONE. IT WILL REQUIRE AT LEAST
MODERATE SNOW TO SEE ACCUMS ON PAVED SFCS THOUGH AS ACCUMS WILL
MAINLY BE ON UNPAVED/UNTREATED AREAS. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE CHANCE
FOR BRIEF MODERATE/HEAVY SNOWFALL LOW VISIBILITIES AND LIGHT
ACCUMS ON AREA ROADWAYS CAN/T BE RULED OUT ACROSS PORTIONS OF ERN
MA. A QUICK 1-2 INCHES /AND POSSIBLY ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS/ ARE
NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION AS MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE 0.10-0.30
OF TOTAL QPF AND MESOSCALE GUIDANCE SIMULATED RADAR SHOWS
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RETURNS.

THIS WILL BE COUPLED WITH MODEST 25-35 KT LLJ AT H92...SO A BRIEF
SQUALL IS ALSO NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. TEMPS PEAK IN THE UPPER
30S AND LOW 40S EARLY AFTERNOON /HIGHEST IN THE CT VALLEY/ AND
THEN DROP THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON.

TOMORROW NIGHT...
HIGH PRES WILL BE NOSING IN FROM THE W ALLOWING DRIER AIR TO
ACCOMPANY THE COLD ADVECTION. THIS SHOULD ALLOW MOST SHOWERS/SNOW
SHOWERS TO COME TO AN END IN THE EVENING AS WINDS TAKE ON A MORE
WESTERLY COMPONENT WITH THE APPROACHING HIGH. EXPECT DRIER AIR AND
CLEARING SKIES ALTHOUGH SFC PRES GRADIENT WILL PROHIBIT TEMPS FROM
COMPLETELY FALLING OFF THE TABLE. STILL EXPECT MINS DROPPING INTO
THE LOW-MID 20S WITH COOL WIND CHILLS IN THE TEENS.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT MONDAY NIGHT
* BLUSTERY AND UNSEASONABLY COLD LATE TUESDAY INTO THURSDAY
* MODERATING TEMPS FRI/SAT BUT LOW CONFIDENCE ON A POSSIBLE STORM

OVERVIEW...
THE MAIN FEATURE IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD IS THE UNSEASONABLY COLD
CONDITIONS EXPECTED BY WED/THU AS NORTHERN STREAM TROF DIGS
ACROSS SE CANADA AND NEW ENG WITH ARCTIC FRONT COOLING 850 MB
TEMPS TO 2-3SD BELOW NORMAL. THE ARCTIC FRONT WILL BE PRECEDED BY
MILD CONDITIONS MON AND A FEW SHOWERS MON NIGHT. THERE REMAINS
TIMING DIFFERENCES WITH FROPA MON NIGHT/EARLY TUE WITH ECMWF STILL
A SLOW OUTLIER. EC EPS SUPPORTS A FASTER SOLUTION SO FAVORED COLD
FRONT MOVING OFFSHORE BY TUE MORNING WITH IMPROVING CONDITIONS AND
COLDER TEMPS. FOR FRI INTO SAT...THERE IS INCREASING MODEL SPREAD
AS GFS AND ECMWF AND THEIR RESPECTIVE ENSEMBLES DIFFER ON THE
HANDLING OF NEXT NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE APPROACHING THE REGION
WHICH WILL AFFECT SENSIBLE WX.

MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...
WEAK SFC RIDGING MOVES ACROSS NEW ENG WHICH WILL BRING DRY AND
SEASONABLY MILD CONDITIONS MON. ARCTIC FRONT DROPS S ACROSS NEW ENG
MON NIGHT. DEEPENING MOISTURE AND INCREASING LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE
SHOULD LEAD TO SCT SHOWERS DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE FRONT MON NIGHT
WITH TEMPS HOLDING STEADY UNTIL FROPA. ECMWF REMAINS A SLOW OUTLIER
BUT GFS MAY BE A BIT TOO FAST SO WE USED A BLEND OF THE 2 WHICH
FAVORS FRONT MOVING OFFSHORE BY TUE MORNING FOLLOWED BY MAINLY
DRY AND BLUSTERY CONDITIONS. TEMPS NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL
BUT COOLING QUICKLY LATER IN THE DAY.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...
UNSEASONABLY COLD AND BLUSTERY CONDITIONS. A BLEND OF GEFS AND EC
EPS 850 MB TEMPS SHOWS -20C WED AND STILL -15C THU. MAXES LIKELY
REMAINING IN THE 20S WED MODERATING INTO THE 30S THU BUT GUSTY NW
WINDS WILL MAKE IT FEEL MUCH COLDER.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...
LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST DUE TO INCREASING MODEL SPREAD. ECMWF MORE
AMPLIFIED WITH NEXT SHORTWAVE AND BRINGS PRECIP INTO THE REGION LATE
FRI/FRI NIGHT ASSOCD WITH A DEVELOPING COASTAL LOW. THERE IS LOTS OF
SPREAD AMONG EC EPS MEMBERS. GFS AND MAJORITY OF ITS ENSEMBLE
MEMBERS DAMPEN THIS SHORTWAVE AND MAINTAIN HIGH PRES AND DRY
CONDITIONS. USED A BLEND OF AVAILABLE GUIDANCE AND WPC WHICH WILL
MAINTAIN A DRY FORECAST FOR NOW.  MODERATING TEMPS.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...

THROUGH TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN OVERALL TRENDS...LOWER
CONFIDENCE IN EXACT TIMING.
PERIODS OF IFR/LIFR LIKELY THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS IN RAIN/FOG.
WINDS SHIFT TO THE NW LATE TONIGHT WITH SOME IMPROVEMENT EXPECTED
ESPECIALLY AFTER 05Z. ALTHOUGH CONDITIONS COULD REMAIN MVFR/IFR IN
FOG AND DRIZZLE. CONDITIONS IMPROVE WITH SOME VFR POSSIBLE
ESPECIALLY W OF ORH AROUND SUNRISE.

TOMORROW...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
AFTER BRIEF IMPROVEMENT...PERIODS OF MVFR POSSIBLE IN MIX OF
-SHSN/SHRA ESPECIALLY E OF A PVD-ORH-MHT LINE. OCCASIONAL IFR
VSBYS POSSIBLE IN HEAVIER SNOWS. CONDITIONS IMPROVE BY EVENING AS
SNOWS/RAIN COME TO AN END. ACCUMS MAINLY 2 OR LESS INCHES.

TOMORROW NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
MAINLY VFR AFTER LAST REMAINING SHOWERS COME TO AN END. NW WINDS.

KBOS TAF...HIGH FORECAST CONFIDENCE ON TRENDS BUT SOME UNCERTAINTY
ON EXACT TIMING OF DETAILS.

KBDL TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN FORECAST TRENDS...LOWER CONFIDENCE
IN TIMING.

OUTLOOK...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. VFR DURING
MON...POSSIBLY LOWERING TO A PERIOD OF MVFR MON NIGHT WITH SCT RAIN
SHOWERS.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. MAINLY VFR. GUSTY NW
WINDS 25-30 KT DEVELOPING TUE AND WED.

TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
OTHER THAN A BUILDING SOUTHERLY SWELL WINDS WILL REMAIN BELOW
SMALL CRAFT THRESHOLDS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS OUT OF
E-SE...ROTATING TO THE N-NW BY MORNING. THE SOUTHERLY SWELL IS
EXPECTED TO REACH 5-8 FT MAINLY ON THE SRN WATERS S OF THE
ISLANDS AND RHODE ISLAND. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL BE ISSUED
FOR THIS REASONING.

TOMORROW AND TOMORROW NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
SOME SNOW AND RAIN SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
EASTERN WATERS THROUGH TOMORROW EARLY EVENING. N-NW WIND GUSTS
SHIFT MAINLY NW AND INCREASE WITH GUSTS INCREASING TO AROUND 35+
KT ON THE E WATERS BY TOMORROW EVENING. GALE WARNINGS WILL BE
ISSUED FOR THIS PURPOSE. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL BE ISSUED
ELSEWHERE AS A PERIOD OF GUSTY WINDS TO AROUND 25 KT AND BUILDING
SEAS

OUTLOOK...MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT...WINDS DIMINISH MON AND BECOME
LIGHT...THEN INCREASE FROM THE WEST MON NIGHT AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...GUSTY POST FRONTAL NW WINDS EXPECTED
THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH GUSTS TO 25-30 KT AND LOW PROB FOR GALE
FORCE GUSTS TUE AFTERNOON INTO WED NIGHT...ESPECIALLY E WATERS. WITH
ARCTIC MOVING OVER THE WATERS WITH GUSTY WINDS....AREAS OF FREEZING
