Area forecast discussion, Dec 18, 3:55 AM EST, 7 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
355 AM EST FRI DEC 18 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
DRY WEATHER WITH AREAS OF FOG THIS MORNING WILL BE REPLACED BY
ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS RI AND EASTERN MA.
ELSEWHERE DRY WEATHER WILL PREVAIL. IT WILL REMAIN MILD TODAY. MUCH
COOLER SATURDAY WITH BLUSTERY WINDS AND THE RISK OF A FEW SNOW
SHOWERS AND/OR FLURRIES. COOL BUT DRY WEATHER EXPECTED SUNDAY
FOLLOWED BY MILDER TEMPERATURES NEXT WEEK ALONG WITH THE RISK OF WET
WEATHER MID WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
4 AM UPDATE ...
POST FRONTAL AIRMASS BEHIND DEPARTING FRONTAL WAVE FROM LAST EVENING
IS YIELDING DRY WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION EARLY THIS MORNING.
HOWEVER AIRMASS IS VERY MILD /45-55/ FOR MID DEC ALONG WITH DEW PTS
IN THE 40S TO L50S ACROSS RI AND SOUTHEAST MA. THIS COMBINED WITH
LIGHT WINDS IS RESULTING IN AREAS OF FOG. SHOULD ENOUGH WNW WINDS TO
PRECLUDE MUCH IF ANY DENSE FOG.
ONE MORE SHORT WAVE ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE TROUGH ACROSS THE TN
VLY. THIS WILL INDUCE ANOTHER FRONTAL WAVE THAT WILL TRACK JUST SE
OF NANTUCKET TONIGHT. THIS WILL RESULT IN A 2ND ROUND OF RAIN TO RI
AND EASETERN MA FROM LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. MAINLY DRY
WEATHER SHOULD PREVAIL ACROSS CT AND WESTERN-CENTRAL MA AS LOW LEVEL
DRY AIR WINS OUT. DESPITE THE FRONTAL WAVE BEING WEAK...MODEST MID
LEVEL FGEN MOVES ACROSS SOUTHEAST MA THIS AFTERNOON /POSSIBLE
WESTWARD INTO RI/. CROSS SECTIONS SUGGEST SOME WEAK INSTABILITY
ALOFT IN THE FORM OF -EPV.
THIS MAY RESULT IN A PERIOD OF STEADY/MODERATE RAIN FOR SOUTHEAST MA
AND POSSIBLY WESTWARD INTO PARTS OF RI. NAM/RGEM/ARW AND NMM OFFER
THE HEAVIEST QPF ACROSS THIS AREA...ALBEIT MODEST WITH A MODEL BLEND
OFFERING 0.15 TO 0.35.
AS FRONTAL WAVE PULLS AWAY FROM THE REGION COULD SEE A FEW BREAKS OF
SUNSHINE LATE IN THE DAY ACROSS WESTERN CT/MA.
OFF TO A VERY MILD START WITH 3 AM TEMPS IN THE U40S AND L50S ACROSS
MUCH OF THE REGION. THESE VALUES ARE ALREADY WARMER THAN OUR NORMAL
DAYTIME HIGHS! TEMPS WILL HOLD NEARLY STEADY OR RISE A FEW DEGS
AFTER SUNRISE AND THEN FALL SLOWLY THIS AFTERNOON AS RAIN COMMENCES
OVER RI AND EASTERN MA. FOR WESTERN CT/MA WEAK CAA WILL BEGIN LATER
TODAY AS FRONTAL WAVE EXITS THE AREA.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
TONIGHT ...
FRONTAL WAVE EAST OF NANTUCKET AND CAPE COD EXITS INTO THE GULF OF
ME. COLUMN THEN BEGINS TO DRY AS SUBSIDENCE OVERSPREADS THE AREA.
POST FRONTAL AIRMASS BEHIND DEPARTING WAVE IS COOLER BUT TRUE COLD
AIR ARRIVES SAT BEHIND SHORT WAVE TROUGH IN THE MORNING.
SATURDAY ...
MUCH COLDER AIRMASS OVERSPREADS THE REGION WITH H850 TEMPS COOLING
TO -11C OVER THE AREA. STEEP LAPSE RATES YIELDS BLYR MIXING UP TO H8
WHICH WILL SUPPORT HIGHS IN THE U30S TO L40S WITH M30S HIGHER
TERRAIN. THESE TEMPS ARE SEASONABLE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR BUT GIVEN
RECENT WARM WEATHER COMBINED WITH BLUSTERY WEST WINDS 30 TO 40 MPH
WITH HIGHER GUSTS WILL MAKE IT FEEL QUITE CHILLY. MAY NEED A WIND
ADVISORY FOR SAT AFTN FOR GUSTS APPROACHING 45 TO 50 MPH.
COLD AIR STREAMING ACROSS THE RELATIVELY WARM GREAT LAKES AND THEN
UP AND OVER THE BERKSHIRES AND LITCHFIELD HILLS WILL YIELD A RISK
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES SPILLING INTO SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. TOO EARLY TO PINPOINT EXACT TRAJECTORIES OF THESE MESOSCALE
SNOW BANDS BUT EARLY INDICATIONS FROM HI RES WRF MODEL SUGGEST ONE
BAND OVER CT AND ANOTHER ACROSS NORTHERN MA ALONG NH BORDER.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
*/ OVERVIEW ...
AS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED ... THE COMBINATION OF THE PHASE 4 / 5 MADDEN-
JULIAN OSCILLATION /MJO/ AND ENHANCEMENT OF PACIFIC WESTERLIES /
PINEAPPLE EXPRESS IS RESULTING IN MORE TROUGHING / STORMY PATTERN
OVER THE N-PACIFIC INTO THE W-CONUS. EL NINO ALSO CONTRIBUTING AS
EQUITORIAL PACIFIC WATERS ARE WARMER THAN NORMAL. SUBSEQUENT LOWER
HEIGHTS W LENDING TO HIGH HEIGHTS E AND ABOVE-AVERAGE TEMPERATURES.
THE AVERAGE MONTHLY TEMPERATURE FOR DECEMBER IS 10-DEGREES ABOVE-
NORMAL FOR OUR AREA!
SUCH A TREND IS NOT GOING TO BREAK ANYTIME SOON AND IS NOT GOING TO
CHANGE OVERNIGHT. KEEP IN MIND THAT A MJO CYCLE TYPICALLY LAST 30 TO
60 DAYS. EVALUATING ENSEMBLE / DETERMINISTIC SOLUTIONS ... IN FAVOR
OF SOLUTIONS MAINTAINING RIDGING OVER THE E-CONUS WHILE KEEPING N-
STREAM DISTURBANCES MORE N/W OF OUR REGION.
IT IS LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKELY THAT WE ARE GOING TO CONCLUDE
DECEMBER AS THE ALL-TIME WARMEST OVER ALL OF S NEW ENGLAND WITH
PERHAPS NO SNOW AS WELL AS THE FEWEST DAYS OF MINIMUM TEMPERATURES
AT OR BELOW 32-DEGREES. RECORD HIGHS POSSIBLE AS WELL AS RECORD
TEMPERATURES AND PRECIPITABLE WATERS WITHIN THE ATMOSPHERIC COLUMN
AS S/SW-FLOW FROM THE N-GULF IS PREVALENT NEXT WEEK THROUGH THE
CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY. THE LONG-TERM FORECAST APPEARS MILD WHILE ALSO
WET WITH BRIEF PERIODS IN-BETWEEN OF COOL AIR THE MAGNITUDE OF WHICH
NET SEASONABLE SURFACE TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE REGION.
*/ DISCUSSION ...
SUNDAY ...
QUIET WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL. RISING HEIGHTS AND INCREASING
WINDS OUT OF THE S TOWARDS LATE PER ISALLOBARIC-GRADIENT RESPONSE OF
THE WIND AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING WEATHER SYSTEM W. SEASONABLE
TEMPERATURES AS THE COOL POOL ALOFT LINGERS.
NEXT WEEK ...
CONSOLIDATING THE DISCUSSION. A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES WILL ROTATE
THROUGH THE BROADER TROUGH SCHEME OVER THE W-CONUS ... AMPLIFYING IT
IN THE PROCESS. DISTURBANCES EJECTING NE TO THE N/W OF OUR REGION
AHEAD OF WHICH SW-FLOW OF ANOMALOUSLY WARM TEMPERATURES AND HIGH
PRECIPITABLE WATERS WITHIN THE ATMOSPHERIC COLUMN ... POTENTIALLY
RECORD BREAKING ... STREAM N ACROSS THE E-CONUS.
BROADSCALE ISENTROPIC LIFT OF A DEEP WARM-MOIST CONVEYER BELT FROM
THE N-GULF INTO THE NE-CONUS UNDERGOING SOME MEASURE OF FORCING
WHETHER IT BE ONE OR A COMBINATION OF LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE ... MID-
LEVEL ASCENT ... OR RIGHT-REAR-QUADRANT OF THE UPPER-LEVEL-JET ...
LOOKS TO RESULT IN AN OVERALL WEEK OF WET-WEATHER WITH THE POTENTIAL
OF HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG S-WINDS AT TIMES AS TEMPERATURES REMAIN
ABOVE-AVERAGE. THE PUSH OF DEEPER MOISTURE N LENDING TO HIGHER
SURFACE DEWPOINTS ... LIKELY TO SEE SOUPY WEATHER PER FOG AS WELL.
THE SPECIFICS ARE DIFFICULT TO NAIL DOWN MAKING FOR A LOW CONFIDENCE
FORECAST ... ESPECIALLY BEGINNING WEDNESDAY. THIS A RESULT OF SMALL
NUANCES BETWEEN DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE CONCERNING THE MORPHOLOGY
OF ATMOSPHERIC FEATURES. BUT THE OVERALL TROUGH - RIDGE PATTERN
ACROSS THE CONUS IS WELL-AGREED UPON BY THE CONSENSUS OF GUIDANCE.
IT ALSO DOES APPEAR THE SLING OF DISTURBANCES CONCLUDES AROUND
FRIDAY ... AND SO IT SEEMS THAT AROUND THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY WILL
BE BOTH MILD AND WET ... NEARLY A REPEAT OF LAST YEAR. CAN NOT
EVEN RULE OUT THE POTENTIAL OF A THUNDERSTORM EMBEDDED WITHIN THIS
ANOMALOUS PATTERN. AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE TIMEFRAME WE SHOULD
HAVE MORE SPECIFICS ON WET-WEATHER OUTCOMES REGARDS PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS AND TEMPERATURES AT THE SURFACE.
