AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
302 AM EST THU JAN 15 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE AND OFFSHORE LOW PRESSURE COMBINE TO
GENERATE AN INVERTED TROUGH THAT SLAPS EASTERN MASS WITH SOME
LIGHT SNOW AND FREEZING DRIZZLE. THIS WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST
DURING THE DAY. AN ARCTIC FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE REGION FRIDAY
AFTERNOON FOLLOWED BY FRIGID TEMPERATURES FRIDAY NIGHT AND SAT.
LOW PRESSURE THEN TRACKS OVER THE AREA LATE SUN INTO MON WITH
MAINLY RAIN IMPACTING THE REGION...POSSIBLY ENDING AS SNOW ACROSS
THE INTERIOR.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THROUGH 7 AM/12Z...WEATHER MAP SHOWS HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDING FROM
THE MARITIMES THROUGH THE APPALACHIANS. LOW PRESSURE WELL OFFSHORE
WITH AN INVERTED TROUGH EXTENDING UP ACROSS GEORGES BANK INTO THE
GULF OF MAINE. MEANWHILE THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF THE NORTHERN
JET LIES OVER THE MASSACHUSETTS COAST AND OFFSHORE WATERS.

MODELS SHOW THE INVERTED TROUGH MOVING CLOSER TO THE MASS COAST
OVERNIGHT. WITH SUPPORT FROM THE UPPER JET THIS WOULD MEAN
INCREASED SYNOPTIC LIFT APPROACHING EASTERN MASS. THIS SHOULD
MAINTAIN LIGHT SNOW/DRIZZLE IN SOUTHEAST MASS AND POSSIBLY
BORDERING SECTIONS OF RI. ALSO HAVE SOME CONCERN ABOUT ADDITIONAL
BANDS MOVING INTO THE NORTH SHORE COMMUNITIES AS THE TROUGH
APPROACHES LATER TONIGHT. THIS WOULD SET UP LIGHT PCPN MOVING
TOWARD ESSEX-MIDDLESEX-SUFFOLK-NORFOLK COUNTIES TOWARD MORNING.

PCPN AMOUNTS SHOULD BE LIGHT. SO FAR JUST A TRACE IN PLACE OVER
THE REGION. EXPECTING A TRACE TO A COUPLE OF HUNDREDTHS THROUGH
12Z.

ALTHOUGH WE ARE NOT EXPECTING MUCH OF A GLAZE...EVEN TRACE AMOUNTS
WILL BRING SLIPPERY CONDITIONS FOR THE THURSDAY MORNING COMMUTE.
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR LIGHT PCPN AND FREEZING
SURFACE TEMPS THROUGH NOON.

CLOUDS IN THE CENTRAL HILLS AND CLEAR IN THE CT VALLEY. WATCHING
ANOTHER BATCH OF CLOUDS MOVING INTO THE BERKSHIRES WHICH COULD
BRING PARTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS TO THE CT VALLEY.

TODAY...
THE INVERTED TROUGH WILL BE ALONG THE EAST MASS COAST THIS MORNING
WITH THE JET ENTRANCE STILL OVERHEAD. WE WILL CONTINUE TO EXPECT
LIGHT PCPN WITH POTENTIAL FOR SLIPPERY TRAVEL AT THE SURFACE. THE
TROUGH THEN MOVES BACK TO THE EAST BY AFTERNOON AS OFFSHORE LOW
PRESSURE PASSES SOUTHEAST OF US AND MOVES OUT TO SEA. WE CONTINUED
THE WINTER ADVISORY THROUGH NOON BASED ON THIS TIMING.

THE CLOUDS SHOULD THEN SHIFT EAST DURING THE AFTERNOON. EXPECT
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES IN THE CT VALLEY...MOSTLY CLOUDY IN EASTERN
MASS. WHERE IT WILL BE SUNNY...TEMPS ALOFT SUPPORT MAX TEMPS IN
THE UPPER 20S AND AROUND 30. FARTHER EAST...CLOUDS SHOULD LIMIT
ANY DAYTIME WARMING TO A FEW DEGREES WITH MAX VALUES AROUND 30 IN
THE COASTAL PLAIN AND MID TO UPPER 30S CAPE AND ISLANDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
TONIGHT...
LINGERING MOISTURE BELOW 925 MB SO NOT CONFIDENT ABOUT TOTAL
CLEARING. BUT SHOULD BE A CLEARING TREND ALL AREAS. PRESSURE
GRADIANT IS RELAXED MUCH OF THE NIGHT BUT TIGHTENS TOWARD MORNING
BRINGING INCREASING WIND. CONTOUR HEIGHTS WILL BE A LITTLE BELOW
NORMAL BUT CLOSE...SO EXPECT SEASONABLY COOL MIN TEMPS.

FRIDAY...
ARCTIC COLD FRONT STARTS THE MORNING NEAR THE ST LAWRENCE VALLEY
AND SWEEPS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND DURING THE AFTERNOON.
MOISTURE ALONG THE FRONT WILL BE LIMITED AND SHALLOW. UPPER JET
SUPPORT IS PRESENT ALTHOUGH NOT TREMENDOUS. THIS SHOULD SUPPORT
SOME LIFTING OF THE MOISTURE. FOR NOW WE WILL FEATURE SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS MAINLY IN THE BERKSHIRE EAST SLOPES AND ACROSS
NORTHERN MASS. COLD ADVECTION WITH/BEHIND THE FRONT WILL SUPPORT
MIXING WINDS OF 35-40 KNOTS TO THE SURFACE IN GUSTS. MODEL GRIDS
UNDERESTIMATE THIS BY ABOUT 10 KNOTS...SO WE ADJUSTED VALUES
UPWARD TO AROUND 35 INLAND AND 35-40 OVER THE WATERS.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
*/ HIGHLIGHTS...

 - CONSIDERABLY COLD INTO SATURDAY MORNING WITH LOWS BELOW ZERO
 - QUIET WEATHER UNDER HIGH PRESSURE FOR SATURDAY
 - POTENTIAL COASTAL LOW SETUP FOR SUNDAY

OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCES...
THE KEY TO THE LONG TERM FORECAST APPEARS TO BE THE ATTEMPT OF A
REDEVELOPING AND MODEST BLOCK IN THE NRN ATLANTIC. CURRENT CPC
PROGS SUPPORT THE SHIFT OF THE AO FROM WEAKLY POSITIVE TO NEAR
NEUTRAL...IF NOT EVEN SLIGHTLY NEGATIVE. THIS SHIFT IN THE LAST 24
HOURS HAS HAD THE BIGGEST IMPACT ON DEVELOPING COASTAL LOW PRES
ASSOCIATED WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY STALLED JUST E OF THE 40/70
BENCHMARK. WITH THIS MORE AMPLIFIED FLOW YIELDING STRONGER TILT TO
THE ATTENDANT TROF WITH THIS LOW PRES...THE TREND HAS BEEN TO BOTH
SLOW THE FEATURE AND SHIFT IT FURTHER W...POSSIBLY ALLOWING THE
CENTER OF THE LOW ITSELF TO ACTUALLY MOVE WITHIN THE 40/70
BENCHMARK OR EVEN INLAND. BOTH GFS/ECENS DO SHOW CLUSTERING CLOSER
TO SHORE THAN PREVIOUS RUNS AND THE 12Z GFS IS NOW CLOSER TO WHAT
THE 13.12Z ECMWF WAS SHOWING. GIVEN THESE FACTORS...AND THE FACT
THAT CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING IN IMPACTS FROM THIS FEATURE /AS
WELL AS MODEST AGREEMENT ELSEWHERE IN THE LONG TERM/ A BLEND OF
THE GFS /SLIGHTLY FASTER/ AND THE ECMWF /SLIGHTLY SLOWER/ WILL BE
USED WITH THIS FORECAST UPDATE.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

FRI NIGHT...
STILL A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT ABILITY TO RADIATE FRI NIGHT WITH
MODERATE SFC PRES GRADIENT. HOWEVER STRONG COLD ADVECTION IS STILL
LIKELY TO ALLOW TEMPS IN INTERIOR MA/CT TO FALL INTO THE NEGATIVE
SINGLE DIGITS. SHOULD RADIATIVE PROCESSES OCCUR IN SOME
VALLEYS...DOUBLE DIGIT SUB-ZERO TEMPS ARE CERTAINLY LIKELY. AGREE
WITH PREVIOUS FORECASTER THAT CURRENT MOS MAY BE BEST TO
START...BUT ARE STILL LIKELY TOO WARM FOR THE FRI NIGHT MINS.

SAT...
BRIEF...BUT QUICK MOVING RIDGE OF HIGH PRES BUILDS OVER DURING
THE DAY. IN SPITE OF THE SWITCH TO RETURN FLOW...THE COLD START IS
LIKELY TO KEEP HIGH TEMPS NEAR IF NOT EVEN SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL
FOR MID JANUARY.

SUN INTO MON...
OF ISSUE HERE IS THE RECENT WESTWARD AND MORE AMPLIFIED SHIFT
REGARDING A COASTAL STORM FOR THE LATE SUN INTO EARLY MON
TIMEFRAME. RECENT TRENDS SUGGEST THAT THE CENTER OF THE LOW COULD
PASS WITHIN THE 40/70 BENCHMARK OR EVEN DIRECTLY OVER SRN NEW
ENGLAND SUN NIGHT. AM NOTING MODERATE LOW-MID LVL FGEN COMBINED
WITH 50-60 KT SLY LLJ. MOISTURE IS AVAILABLE GIVE A SUBTROPICAL
CONNECTION...BUT AT THIS TIME PWATS LOOK TO REMAIN BELOW 1.0
INCHES...AND ONLY ABOUT 1 STD DEV ABOVE MID JANUARY CLIMATOLOGY.
HOWEVER...THIS CLOSE OF A PASS SUGGESTS A THERMAL PROFILE
SUPPORTING ALL RAIN ACROSS THE REGION WHICH MAY START AS EARLY AS
LATE SUN AFTERNOON. THE...LLJ AS WELL AS CONDITIONALLY UNSTABLE
PROFILE ABOVE DEEP INVERSION SUGGESTS BRIEFLY HEAVY RAIN IS ALSO
POSSIBLE...WITH BOTH OPERATIONAL MODELS SUPPORTING 6 HOURLY QPF
TOTALING NEAR AN INCH SUN EVENING. THEREFORE...WILL HAVE TO WATCH
FOR PATCHES OF HEAVY RAIN. REGARDING THE WIND THREAT WITH THE
LLJ...EVEN THOUGH NEARLY 60 KT IS APPARENT AS LOW AS NEAR
H92...VERY ROBUST INVERSION IS NOTED IN SOUNDINGS SO IT WILL
LIKELY BE DIFFICULT FOR MUCH OF THIS MOMENTUM TO MIX TO THE SFC.
BEST CHANCE WOULD BE NEAR SHORELINES...WHERE WARMER MARINE
INFLUENCE MAY ENHANCE BL MIXING POTENTIAL. WILL BE INCREASING POPS
WITH THIS UPDATE GIVEN THE HIGHER CONFIDENCE...BUT THERE IS STILL
SOME UNCERTAINTY ESPECIALLY WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF COLD AIR
MIXING INTO THE NW INTERIOR BY MON...BUT IF THIS W TREND CONTINUES
IT IS UNLIKELY /ESPECIALLY WITH THE LACK OF A COLD BLOCK TO THE N/
THAT TOO MUCH COLD AIR IS EXPECTED. WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON
THIS FOR THE TIME BEING.

TUE INTO WED...
IT DOES APPEAR THAT FOLLOWING THIS LOW PRES PASSAGE...THAT
SECONDARY SHOT OF COLD AIR WILL BE ADVECTING INTO THE REGION IN
IT/S WAKE. EXPECTING TEMPS TO FALL BACK TO BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

.NEAR-TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...

TODAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE
AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW/FREEZING DRIZZLE IN EASTERN MASS MOSTLY SOUTH
OF BOSTON...BUT WITH POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL LIGHT PCPN MOVING
INTO BOS-BVY-BED DURING THE MORNING. IFR CIGS/MVFR VSBYS IN
SOUTHEAST MASS...VFR IN THE CT VALLEY...AND MVFR CIGS IN BETWEEN.
EXPECT THESE CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE THROUGH MIDDAY OR EARLY
AFTERNOON...FOLLOWED BY IMPROVEMENT TO VFR WEST TO EAST.

TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE
VFR MOST AREAS AND TRENDING VFR CAPE AND ISLANDS. PARTIAL
CLEARING WITH WEST WINDS.

FRIDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE
AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND MIDDAY-
AFTERNOON. LOW-END VFR CIGS POSSIBLE AS WELL AS WIDELY SCATTERED
SNOW SHOWERS ESPECIALLY IN NORTHERN MASS. WEST-SOUTHWEST WINDS
SHIFT TO NORTHWEST WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE. THE INFLOW OF COLDER AIR
WILL AID IN BRINGING STRONG WIND GUSTS TO THE SURFACE IN THE
AFTERNOON WITH POTENTIAL NORTHWEST GUSTS 35-40 KNOTS.

KBOS TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. LIGHT SNOW/FREEZING DRIZZLE
MOSTLY TO THE SOUTH OF THE AIRPORT BUT WITH POTENTIAL FOR A COUPLE
OF BANDS OF LIGHT PCPN SWEEPING SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE NORTH SHORE
AND THEN ACROSS BOSTON AFTER 11Z. PCPN SHOULD REMAIN LIGHT WITH
VSBYS GREATER THAN 3 MILES AND ANY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS LESS THAN AN
INCH.

KBDL TERMINAL...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR. WATCHING
2500-3500 FOOT CIGS OVER THE HUDSON VALLEY WHICH COULD BRIEFLY
AFFECT BDL THIS MORNING WITH BORDERLINE MVFR CIGS.

OUTLOOK /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...

FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR. NW-WINDS
DIMINISH AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE TERMINALS. WINDS
BECOMING VARIABLE DURING THE DAY SATURDAY BEFORE TURNING S TOWARDS
EVENING.

SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE.
WINDS INCREASING OUT OF THE S AHEAD OF A COASTAL LOW POTENTIAL
