AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1022 AM EST SAT JAN 3 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE ENTERING THE OHIO VALLEY TODAY WILL SPREAD A WINTRY
MIX OF PRECIPITATION INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. THE PRECIPITATION WILL CHANGE TO ALL RAIN TONIGHT INTO
SUNDAY MORNING. THE LOW WILL TRACK INTO THE ST LAWRENCE RIVER
VALLEY SUNDAY...BRINGING MILD BUT SHOWERY WEATHER TO THE REGION.
THE TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL BRING MORE SHOWERS SUNDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING FOLLOWED BY DRIER BUT MUCH COLDER WEATHER MON. A
PERIOD OF SNOW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...
FOLLOWED BY BITTERLY COLD WEATHER FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.

&&

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

1030 AM UPDATE...

GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO BE ON TRACK FOR THE UPCOMING SYSTEM MOVING
INTO THE REGION LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. HIGH
PRESSURE CONTINUES TO REMAIN ACROSS NORTHEAST THIS MORNING WHILE
THE MAIN SURFACE LOW IS STILL OUT ACROSS THE ARKLATEX REGION. AS
THE LOW MOVES NORTHWARD TODAY...IT WILL PUSH THE HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE MARITIMES KEEPING THE REGION COLD AND DRY. AS THE LOW
APPROACHES THE REGION EXPECT THE PROFILE TO MOISTEN UP AS PRECIP
BEGINS TO OVERSPREAD BY THIS AFTERNOON.

CURRENTLY...PRECIPITATION HAS STARTED TO FALL JUST WEST OF PHILLY
IN THE FORM AS ICE AND SNOW. EXPECT THIS MIX BAG TO MOVE TOWARDS
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR...BUT FOR NOW BECAUSE IS THE HIGH TEMP/DEWPOINT SPREADSLOWED
DOWN INITIAL TIMING FOR AN HOUR OR TWO. BUT ONCE THERE IS ENOUGH
MOISTURE...EXPECT ANY SNOW THAT IS FALLING TO QUICKLY ADD UP AS
THE GROUND TEMPS ARE WELL BELOW 32F.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
00Z MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON PRECIP OVERSPREADING THE REGION
BETWEEN 2 PM AND 5 PM ACROSS CT AND WESTERN-CENTRAL MA...THEN
ADVANCING INTO RI AND EASTERN MA 4 PM TO 7 PM.

MODEL SOUNDINGS SUGGEST COLUMN IS COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SNOW JUST
ABOUT EVERYWHERE. THE ONLY EXCEPTION MAY BE ALONG THE SOUTH COAST
WHERE PRECIP MAY BEGIN AS A MIX OF SNOW/SLEET AND/OR RAIN.

COLD AIRMASS ACROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING WITH MODIFIED ARCTIC
AIR SPILLING SOUTHWARD FROM NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. DEWPTS WILL ONLY
RECOVER TO THE TEENS THIS AFTERNOON AS THE PRECIP STARTS. THIS
COMBINED WITH THE RECENT COLD AND FROZEN GROUND...RESULTING IN
SNOW STICKING IMMEDIATELY...RESULTING IN ROADS QUICKLY BECOMING
SNOW COVERED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
315 AM UPDATE...

TONIGHT...
OPEN WAVE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED STRONG MID LEVEL JET ALLOWS WARM
MID LEVEL AIR /CENTERED AROUND 800-850 MB/ TO INVADE ACROSS ALL OF
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THIS WILL RESULT IN A FAIRLY QUICK
TRANSITION FROM SNOW TO SLEET FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST DURING
THE 7 PM TO 10 PM TIMEFRAME. THE TRANSITION WILL BE QUICK ALONG
AND SOUTHEAST OF I- 95 IN RI AND MA. THIS INCLUDES THE BOSTON TO
PROVIDENCE CORRIDOR. HOWEVER WE WILL CONTINUE THE WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY FOR THIS REGION AS THERE WILL LIKELY BE A FEW HOURS OF
MODERATE SNOW AND SLEET BEFORE A COMPLETE CHANGEOVER ALONG WITH
THE RISK OF A BRIEF PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN TOO. THUS VERY
SLIPPERY TRAVEL FOR A FEW HOURS THIS EVENING ALONG AND NORTHWEST
OF I-95 IN RI AND MA.

FARTHER INLAND THE TRANSITION WILL BE SLOWER ESPECIALLY ACROSS
NORTHERN MA ALONG THE ROUTE-2 CORRIDOR TO THE NH BORDER AND EASTWARD
TO THE I-495 CORRIDOR. THIS IS WHERE A SWATH OF 2-4 INCHES OF SNOW
IS LIKELY BEFORE A CHANGEOVER TO FREEZING RAIN OCCURS AROUND 10 PM
TO MIDNIGHT.

THIS IS WHERE THE FORECAST GETS TRICKY AS 1040 MB HIGH OVER THE
MARITIMES COMBINES WITH A COASTAL WAVE OF LOW PRES ALONG THE
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COAST FOR AN IDEAL COLD AIR DAMMING /CAD/
SETUP. THIS WILL RESULT IN NNE LOW LEVEL FLOW TRAPPING SHALLOW COLD
AIR INLAND ESPECIALLY THE CT RVR VLY OF MA...ESSENTIALLY THE I-91
CORRIDOR. THE NAM AND OTHER HI RES GUID CLEARLY SHOWS SUBFREEZING
SURFACE TEMPS HANGING TOUGH THRU THE PREDAWN HOURS. THIS COMBINED
WITH PERIODS OF MODERATE PRECIP WILL RESULT IN AT LEAST A MODEST
AMOUNT OF ICE ACCRETION /0.15 TO 0.35/ AND AS A RESULT EXPECTING THE
MOST DANGEROUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS ACROSS THIS AREA. IN ADDITION THIS
MAY BE SUFFICIENT ICE ACCRETION ON TREES FOR A LOW TO MODERATE RISK
OF DOWN LIMBS RESULTING IN POSSIBLE POWER ISOLATED OUTAGES. GIVEN
THE SYNOPTIC AND MESOSCALE SETUP CONDITIONS ARE IDEAL FOR SHALLOW
COLD AIR TO REMAIN LODGED/WEDGED INTO THE CT RVR VLY/I-91 CORRIDOR
OF MA MUCH OF THE NIGHT AND POSSIBLY INTO SUN MORNING. FOR THESE
REASONS WE WILL UPGRADE THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY TO A WINTER
STORM WARNING FOR FRANKLIN AND WESTERN HAMPSHIRE COUNTIES OF MA.

WIND...THERE WILL BE A PERIOD OF WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS CAPE COD
AND THE ISLANDS LATER THIS EVENING...AROUND MIDNIGHT WHERE SOUTHEAST
WINDS MAY GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH.

SUNDAY...
FREEZING RAIN/DRIZZLE WILL LIKELY LINGER MUCH OF THE MORNING
UNTIL THE COASTAL WAVE LIFTS THE NORTHEAST AND LOW LEVEL FLOW
SHIFTS TO THE SW AROUND MIDDAY. THUS SLIPPERY TRAVEL LIKELY
CONTINUES ACROSS NORTHWEST MA THRU THE MORNING FOLLOWED BY TEMPS
JUMPING IN THE AFTERNOON INTO THE 40S INLAND AND 50S EASTERN CT/RI
AND EASTERN MA! THUS PTYPE SUN AFTERNOON IS ALL RAIN/SHOWERS. DEW
PTS CLIMB INTO THE 40S AND 50S TOO ALONG WITH GOOD MIXING VIA SW
WINDS...SO EXPECT RAPID SNOW MELT.

WEATHER CONCERNS SUNDAY INCLUDE...

STRONG WINDS...

ANOMALOUS LOW LEVEL SW JET MOVES ACROSS THE SOUTH COAST WITH NAM
HAVING 75 KT AT 925 MB! EVEN THE MORE COARSE ECMWF AND GFS HAVE 65-
70 KT. GEFS ENSEMBLES OFFERING 925 MB WINDS OF +3 STD! MODEL
SOUNDINGS ARE INVERTED BUT ALSO INDICATE 50 KT DOWN TO 1KFT! SO NOT
MUCH GUST POTENTIAL BUT SUSTAINED WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH ARE LIKELY.
THUS CURRENT WIND ADVISORY LOOKS GOOD FOR THIS REGION. ONLY CONCERN
IS THAT SHOWERS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP ACROSS THIS AREA IN THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. GIVEN SOME INSTABILITY AND HIGH PWATS /+3
STD/ HEAVY SHOWERS-DOWNPOURS MAY BE ABLE TO MIX DOWN STRONGER WINDS.
THIS WOULD LIKELY NOT BE WIDESPREAD AND MAY BE BETTER HANDLED WITH
STATEMENTS AS CONVECTION DEVELOPS SUN AFTN.

HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL...

APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL ACT ON ANOMALOUS PWAT PLUME /+3 STD/ AND
MARGINAL INSTABILITY AND HIGH SHEAR FOR AN INCREASED RISK OF AN
ORGANIZED BAND OF HEAVY SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED THUNDER POSSIBLE ALONG
THE SOUTH COAST. ALL MODELS AND ESPECIALLY HI RES GUID SUGGEST HEAVY
QPF ACROSS THIS REGION. THUS RISK OF URBAN TYPE FLOODING SUN AFTN
AND EVENING SOUTH COAST OF MA AND RI.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* RAIN SHOWERS END SUNDAY NIGHT
* TURNS MUCH COLDER AS ARCTIC AIR MOVES IN MONDAY
* CLIPPER LOW BRINGS SNOW SHOWERS LATE TUE INTO WED
* MORE ARCTIC AIR BRINGS VERY COLD AND BLUSTERY CONDITIONS LATE
  NEXT WEEK

DETAILS...

SUNDAY NIGHT...
EXPECT COLD FRONT TO PUSH ACROSS REGION WITH RAIN SHOWERS ENDING
FROM W-E. HOWEVER...THE FRONT MAY SLOW FOR A TIME ALONG THE COAST
BEFORE PUSHING OFFSHORE TOWARD DAYBREAK. EXPECT WINDS TO SHIFT TO
W-NW AND INCREASE DURING THE NIGHT ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST.
SURGE OF ARCTIC AIR MOVES IN AS H925 TEMPS DROPS TO -2C TO -9C BY
12Z MON. EXPECT LOWS TO RANGE FROM THE MID AND UPPER 20S WELL
INLAND TO THE MID AND UPPER 30S ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST.

MONDAY...
PROGRESSIVE UPPER PATTERN IN PLACE ACROSS THE LOWER 48 SO EXPECT
SURFACE HIGH PRES RIDGE TO CROSS THE REGION LATE MON/MON NIGHT.
COLD AIR CONTINUES TO POUR IN SO TEMPS WILL STRUGGLE TO GO UP ONLY
A FEW DEGS DURING THE DAY FROM EARLY MORNING LOWS. EXPECT BLUSTERY
W-NW WINDS TO CONTINUE DURING MONDAY WITH GUSTS UP TO 25-30 KT...
POSSIBLY UP TO 35 KT ACROSS THE OUTER CAPE AND ISLANDS. AS THE
RIDGE APPROACHES...WINDS WILL BRIEFLY DIMINISH. EXPECT LOWS TO
RANGE FROM THE SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS THE HIGHER INLAND TERRAIN TO
AROUND 20S ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST.

WITH THE STRONG W-NW WINDS AT THE LOWER AND MID LEVELS...LAKE
EFFECT CLOUDS AND MAYBE EVEN A FEW SNOW SHOWERS MAY REACH ACROSS
THE BERKSHIRES INTO THE MA PORTION OF THE CT VALLEY. HAVE KEPT
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS GOING ACROSS THE E SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES
INTO MON EVENING.

TUESDAY...
CLIPPER SYSTEM QUICKLY MOVES OUT OF THE UPPER PLAINS STATES TO THE
LOWER GREAT LAKES EARLY TUE...THEN WILL PROGRESS E DURING THE DAY.
WILL SEE CLOUDS INCREASE WITH AREAS OF SNOW SHOWERS MOVING ACROSS.
SOME MODELS TRY TO DEVELOP WEAK LOW PRES S OF NEW ENGLAND TUE
EVENING THOUGH NOT MUCH UPPER SUPPORT WITH THIS FEATURE AT THIS
POINT.

WITH COLD AIRMASS IN PLACE...COULD SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
TUE NIGHT INTO THE PRE DAWN HOURS OF WED. COULD SEE LOW END ADVISORY
LEVEL SNOWS IN A FEW SPOTS ALONG THE S COAST WHERE SOMEWHAT HIGHER
QPF IS IN PLACE. WILL NEED TO MONITOR THIS ASPECT DEPENDING UPON
WHETHER LOW PRES DOES FOR WHICH MAY ENHANCE SNOWFALL.

SW WINDS WILL PICK UP EARLY TUE NIGHT ALONG THE S COAST THEN WILL
SHIFT TO THE W-NW AGAIN AS THE SYSTEM MOVES OFFSHORE. COULD SEE
WIND GUSTS UP TO AROUND 25 KT FOR A TIME.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

NOTING A PATTERN CHANGE WITH DIGGING LONG WAVE TROUGH ACROSS THE
EASTERN U.S. WHILE A RIDGE BUILDS IN THE WEST DURING THIS
