AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1255 PM EST WED JAN 7 2015

.SYNOPSIS...

AN ARCTIC FRONT SWEEPS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TODAY...BRINGING WITH
IT A CHANCE OF SNOW SQUALLS. BEHIND THIS FRONT...BLUSTERY AND
BITTERLY COLD CONDITIONS FOLLOW INTO THURSDAY. A BRIEF PERIOD OF
LIGHT SNOW IS LIKELY LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY FRIDAY AHEAD
OF ANOTHER COLD FRONT. THERE IS ALSO A CONCERN FOR STRONG...TO
PERHAPS EVEN DAMAGING...WIND GUSTS ON FRIDAY ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
NEW ENGLAND COAST. OTHERWISE...MAINLY COLD AND DRY WEATHER EXPECT
THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

1 PM UPDATE...

PUFFY CUMULUS CLOUDS OUTSIDE INDICATIVE OF JUST HOW UNSTABLE THE
ENVIRONMENT IS BECOMING AS ARCTIC AIR IS DRIVING S ACROSS THE
WARMER TERRAIN SUBSEQUENT OF ABUNDANT SUNSHINE AND MOSTLY CLEAR
CONDITIONS EARLIER TODAY.

WEATHER: CONSISTENT HRRR SIGNALS AND LOOKING UPSTREAM DECENT LINE
APPROACHING OF SNOW SQUALLS ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE ARCTIC COLD
FRONT. SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT ISSUED. SNOW-SQUALL ACTIVITY TO
PUSH INTO THE CT-RIVER VALLEY AFTER 1 PM...WORCESTER BY 3 PM...AND
THE BOSTON-PROVIDENCE CORRIDOR BY 4 PM. WITH SNOW-SQUALL ACTIVITY
EXPECT NEAR WHITE-OUT CONDITIONS WITH REDUCED VISIBILITIES DOWN TO
LESS THAN ONE-HALF MILE. SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE IMMEDIATELY UPWARDS
OF AN INCH. EXPECT ACCOMPANYING WINDS GUSTING AROUND 35 MPH. WITH
SUCH BURSTS OF SNOW AND WIND...EXPECT HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS.
MOTORISTS SHOULD BE CAUTIOUS AND TRAVEL AT SLOWER SPEEDS WHEN
ENCOUNTERING SNOW-SQUALL ACTIVITY.

WIND GUSTS: EVALUATING UPSTREAM AND NEAR THE WATERS...GUSTS UP TO
40 MPH HAVE BEEN OBSERVED. UTILIZED A MIX-DOWN TOOL BASED ON THE
NAM / RAP THERMAL PROFILES WHICH SUBSEQUENTLY UPPED THE WIND GUSTS
FOR THE LATE-AFTERNOON INTO EVENING PERIOD. NOW EXPECTING MAX WIND
GUSTS OF 35 TO 45 MPH ACROSS MUCH OF THE INTERIOR...WITH GUSTS 40
TO 45 MPH OVER THE WATERS...A NUDGE UP FROM THE PRIOR FORECAST.

SUSTAINED WINDS: BLENDED NAM/WRF/RAP/HRRR GUIDANCE HALVING IT
WITH A CONSENSUS OF MOS-GUIDANCE WHICH YIELDED FASTER SUSTAINED
FLOW THAN PREVIOUSLY FORECAST...AS WELL AS BETTER AGREEMENT WITH
PRESENT OBSERVATIONS. MAX SUSTAINED WINDS FORECAST 20 TO 25 MPH
ACROSS THE INTERIOR...25 TO 35 MPH OVER THE WATERS.

E-CAPE: AS THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT PUSHES OFFSHORE...FEEL THE WIND
TRAJECTORY MORE W WILL LIMIT SNOW POTENTIAL OVER THE E-CAPE. IT
APPEAR HEAVIEST SNOW WILL OCCUR OFFSHORE...BUT STILL CAN NOT RULE
OUT ACCUMULATIONS OF 1-2 INCHES FROM PROVINCETOWN TO CHATHAM. AT
THIS TIME...LOW RISK OF WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES.

TEMPERATURES / DEWPOINTS: STILL LEANED ON THE COLDER SIDE OF
GUIDANCE WITH A BLEND OF THE NAM / MET WITH GREATER WEIGHT LEANED
ONTO THE MET GUIDANCE. HIGHS ONLY GETTING INTO THE LOW- TO MID-20S
WITH UPPER-TEENS ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. COUPLED WITH THE WINDS
BACKING NW BEHIND THE FRONT...COLDEST WIND CHILL VALUES TOWARDS
DUSK WITH READINGS SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW ZERO FOR THE HIGH TERRAIN
WITH SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO ELSEWHERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...

*** BITTERLY COLD CONDITIONS ANTICIPATED TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY
 MORNING...WITH WIND CHILL VALUES FALLING AS LOW AS 30 BELOW ZERO
 FOR THURSDAY MORNING ***

TONIGHT...

THE CORE OF THE ARCTIC AIR ARRIVES TONIGHT. NOT EXPECTING ANY
CHANGES TO THE EXISTING WIND CHILL HEADLINES. THINKING LATEST
GUIDANCE IS NOT HANDLING THE MAGNITUDE OF THE ARCTIC AIR WELL...
SO UNDERCUT THE LATEST GUIDANCE.

WILL STILL BE CONTENDING WITH OCEAN-INDUCED STRATUS AND SNOW
ACROSS THE OUTER CAPE AND NANTUCKET. AS MENTIONED EARLIER...THE
STORM TOTAL SNOWFALL FORECAST CALLS FOR 1-2 INCHES AND FEEL
COMFORTABLE WITH THIS FORECAST WITH THE DRIER ARCTIC AIRMASS.

THURSDAY...

DANGEROUS AND BITTERLY COLD WIND CHILLS BETWEEN 15 AND 30 BELOW ZERO
WILL CONTINUE INTO MID MORNING. THERE WILL BE SOME RELIEF BY
AFTERNOON AS 850 MB TEMPERATURES RISE TO NEAR -16C...BUT IT STILL
WILL BE VERY COLD AND WELL BELOW NORMAL. AFTERNOON HIGHS SHOULD
RECOVER INTO THE UPPER TEENS TO AROUND 20 FOR MOST LOCATIONS UNDER
PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.

&&

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

* A DUSTING TO 1 INCH OF SNOW LIKELY FRIDAY
* STRONG TO EVEN DAMAGING WINDS FRIDAY FOR SE NEW ENGLAND COAST
* MAINLY DRY AND COLD THIS WEEKEND

UPPER LEVEL BLOCKING FORCES THE POLAR JET SOUTH RESULTING IN
TEMPERATURES WELL BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THEN A STRONG
SURFACE HIGH SETS UP ACROSS EASTERN CANADA LIKELY KEEPING TEMPS
BELOW NORMAL. THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR SOME EFFECTS FROM A STORM
PASSING TO OUR SOUTH EARLY NEXT WEEK. BUT EXPECT THE BULK OF THE
STORM...OR POSSIBLY THE ENTIRE STORM WILL STAY WELL TO OUR SOUTH.
PLENTY OF TIME FOR THIS TO RESOLVE AS ITS NEARLY A WEEK AWAY.

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...A PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW IS POSSIBLE AS
TEMPERATURES WARM AND A COLD FRONT APPROACHES SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
THIS WILL BE SIMILAR TO YESTERDAYS SNOW WITH A DUSTING TO PERHAPS AN
INCH OF SNOW EXPECTED.

THE LARGER CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO DAMAGING WINDS
ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF NEW ENGLAND.  A STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY
LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS OVER THIS REGION AS THE WARMER AIR FLOWS OVER
THE REGION. WHILE THIS SCENARIO USUALLY DOES NOT ALLOW THE STRONGER
WINDS TO MIX DOWN THE TEMPERATURES ALOFT ARE QUITE COLD AND WARMER
AIR AT THE SURFACE WILL ELIMINATE THE INVERSION OVER SOUTHEAST MASS.
WILL NEED AT LEAST A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE COASTAL ZONES OF
SOUTHEAST MASS.  THERE IS POTENTIAL THAT WINDS WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH
TO NECESSITATE A HIGH WIND WARNING...PARTICULARLY FOR THE ISLANDS.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE PASSES SOUTH OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND...BRINGING COLDER AIR BACK INTO THE REGION.  EXPECT BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...ZONAL FLOW WILL LIKELY KEEP A COASTAL STORM
WELL TO OUR SOUTH.  HOWEVER...THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR IT TO GRAZE OUR
SOUTHERN ZONES WITH SOME LIGHT SNOW.  IN ADDITION...STRONG HIGH
PRESSURE IN QUEBEC WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...

18Z UPDATE...

LINE OF SNOW-SQUALLS PUSHING SE FROM 18Z OVER THE CT-VALLEY TO 0Z
ACROSS THE CAPE / ISLANDS. SCT NATURE LEADS TO DIFFICULTY IN TEMPO
OR PREVAILING CONDITIONS IN TAF DUE TO UNCERTAIN IF SQUALLS WILL
MAKE A DIRECT IMPACT TO THE TERMINAL. HAVE PREVAILED -SN IN A
NARROWED TIME-FRAME TO HIGHLIGHT WHEN GREATEST RISK IS EXPECTED.
WITH ANY -SN...EXPECT MIX OF MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS. -SN CONDITIONS
WILL EXIST IN ADVANCE...BUT ONLY EXPECT LOW-END VFR TO MVFR.

WINDS AND WIND GUSTS INCREASED BASED ON UPSTREAM OBS. GUSTS 25 TO
35 KTS OVER THE INTERIOR...35 TO 45 KTS OVER THE WATER.

CONDITIONS IMPROVE VFR BEYOND 0Z. NW-WINDS INITIALLY STRONG WEAKEN
TOWARDS THURSDAY MORNING AND THROUGH THE DAY. MIX OF MVFR-IFR MAY
LINGER OVER THE E-CAPE...PERHAPS ACK...WITH NW-FLOW DUE TO OCEAN-
EFFECT STRATUS / SNOW. NW-GUSTS BY DUSK THURSDAY AROUND 10 TO 15
KTS FOR THE INTERIOR...15 TO 25 KTS ALONG THE SHORES AND WATERS.

KBOS TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF. -SHSN INITIALLY WITH
ONLY A LOW-END VFR...PERHAPS MVFR. GREATER CONCERN IS WITH SNOW-
SQUALLS EXPECTED AROUND 21-23Z WHICH COULD YIELD MVFR-IFR IMPACTS.

KBDL TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF. -SHSN INITIALLY WITH
ONLY A LOW-END VFR...PERHAPS MVFR. GREATER CONCERN IS WITH SNOW-
SQUALLS EXPECTED AROUND 18-20Z WHICH COULD YIELD MVFR-IFR IMPACTS.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.  MAINLY
VFR...HOWEVER...MVFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS.
GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS EXPECTED WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS ACROSS
SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS WHERE WINDS COULD GUST AS HIGH AS 50 KTS.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.  VFR.

&&

.MARINE...

FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

1 PM UPDATE...WINDS INCREASED.

THREE CONCERNS:

 * OCEAN-EFFECT SNOWS AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES

AS WINDS BACK NW AND WITH PASSAGE OF THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT...
COLDER AIR OVER THE WARMER WATERS WILL YIELD A GREATER LIKELIHOOD
FOR OCEAN-EFFECT SNOW. FOCUS OVER ALL WATERS...BUT GREATEST
IMPACTS ALONG THE NEAR-SHORE FOR LOCATIONS AROUND THE E-CAPE AND
ACK. VISIBILITIES AT TIMES WILL FALL AS LOW AS 1 MILE OR LESS AT
TIMES.

 * GALE FORCE WINDS WITH GUSTS POTENTIALLY IN EXCESS OF 40 KTS

GALE FORCE WINDS INCREASING THROUGH THE DAY ESPECIALLY WITH
PASSAGE OF AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT LATE AFTERNOON INTO EVENING. GUSTS
OF 35 TO 45 KTS POSSIBLE DURING THE EVENING TOWARDS MIDNIGHT THEN
TAPERING THEREAFTER. GALE WARNINGS IN EFFECT.

 * FREEZING SPRAY

WITH THE GALE FORCE WINDS AND SEAS BUILDING 10 TO 14 FEET WITH AN
AVERAGE OCEAN TEMPERATURE AROUND 42-DEGREES...THE COMBINATION OF
CHOPPY SEAS AND STRONG WINDS WILL YIELD MODERATE FREEZING SPRAY
ESPECIALLY FOR NEAR-SHORE LOCATIONS WHERE THE WATERS ARE SHALLOW
AND COLDER. WORST OF CONDITIONS DEVELOPING BY DUSK AND CONTINUING
INTO MID-MORNING THURSDAY. FREEZING SPRAY ADVISORIES IN EFFECT.

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

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...WINDS AND SEAS INCREASE AHEAD OF A COLD
FRONT THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS FRIDAY.  A STRONG LOW LEVEL
JET WILL LEAD TO WINDS GUSTING TO NEAR STORM FORCE ON FRIDAY
MORNING.  GALES ARE A LOCK FOR ALL WATERS FOR THIS TIME FRAME WITH A
POTENTIAL FOR STORM WARNINGS.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO LINGER
SATURDAY MORNING BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE ALLOWS WINDS AND SEAS TO
SUBSIDE.
