AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
651 PM EST FRI JAN 16 2015

.SYNOPSIS...

ARCTIC COLD FRONT MOVES OFFSHORE THIS EVENING LEADING TO VERY COLD
WIND CHILLS TONIGHT. THE COLD WEATHER CONTINUES TOMORROW...BUT NO
PRECIPITATION IS ANTICIPATED UNTIL SUNDAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL
BRING MAINLY RAIN LATER SUNDAY AND ESPECIALLY SUNDAY NIGHT...WHEN
IT MAY BE HEAVY AT TIMES. DRY AND BLUSTERY WEATHER FOLLOWS MONDAY.
ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MAY BRING A PERIOD OF RAIN AND/OR SNOW
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...DEPENDING ON IF IT TRACKS CLOSE
ENOUGH TO OUR REGION. MAINLY DRY AND SEASONABLY CHILLY WEATHER
FOLLOWS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...

645 PM UPDATE...

VERY COLD AIR CONTINUES TO RUSH INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND ON STRONG
NORTHWEST WINDS.  AS PREVIOUS FORECAST MENTIONED...THE GUSTY WINDS
WILL CONTINUE FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE NIGHT AS LOW LOW LEVEL
LAPSE RATE REMAIN QUITE STEEP. WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH SOME AFTER
MIDNIGHT...BUT IT WILL REMAIN A BIT GUSTY ALONG THE COAST.

LOW TEMPS BY DAYBREAK SAT WILL MAINLY BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS...TO
THE LOWER TEENS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CAPE/NANTUCKET.  MAY SEE A
FEW LOCATIONS DIP BELOW ZERO ACROSS NORTHWEST MA IF WIND CAN
DECOUPLE ENOUGH TOWARD DAYBREAK.  WIND CHILL VALUES STILL LOOK TO BE
AROUND 15 BELOW ZERO VERY LATE TONIGHT/SAT AM FOR INTERIOR
MA...ESPECIALLY EAST SLOPES OF BERKS AND WORCESTER HILLS.  WIND
CHILL ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR THIS REGION.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION:

OTHERWISE TONIGHT...STILL NOTING ENOUGH OF A PRES CHANGE COUPLET
AND MODERATE SFC PRES GRADIENT TO SUPPORT WINDS MAINTAINING
THEMSELVES SOMEWHAT OVERNIGHT. THE CONTINUED COLD ADVECTION /WITH
H92 TEMPS FALLING BACK TO ABOUT -18C AND DWPTS WELL UPSTREAM IN QC
AND ONTARIO ARE ALL IN THE NEGATIVE DOUBLE DIGITS.
THEREFORE...PLENTY OF ROOM FOR VERY COLD WIND CHILLS OVERNIGHT.
LIKE THE CURRENT PLACEMENT OF THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY BUT WILL
EXPAND TO INCLUDE THE REST OF HAMPDEN/HAMPSHIRE COUNTIES AND SRN
WORCESTER COUNTIES IN MA...AS WIND CHILLS OF -15F ARE NOTED BASED
ON CURRENT FORECAST. NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION A FEW OF THE
TYPICALLY COLDER SPOTS IN EXTREME NRN HARTFORD COUNTY AND TOLLAND
COUNTIES IN CT GET CLOSE AS WELL. BUT CERTAINLY...ALMOST ALL
LOCATIONS ARE LOOKING AT THE THREAT FOR NEGATIVE WIND CHILL
READINGS TONIGHT. MAY NEED TO WATCH FOR A FEW ICY SPOTS WHERE ANY
LIGHT DAYTIME SNOW COLLECTS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
SAT...
PROGRESSIVE RIDGE OF HIGH PRES WILL BE CRESTING OVER THE AREA
THROUGH THE DAYLIGHT HOURS TOMORROW. ALTHOUGH MANY LOCATIONS WILL
START SUNNY...THE FACT THAT AMBIENT TEMPS WILL LIKELY BE RANGING
BETWEEN THE NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE SINGLE DIGITS AROUND SUNRISE
SUGGESTS A COLD SUN TO START THE DAY. IN FACT...WITH SOME
INCREASING CLOUDS TOWARD AFTERNOON...SUSPECT HIGHS ONLY REACHING
THE TEENS TO MID 20S ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA /GIVEN H92 TEMPS HOLD
-10C TO -12C/. WINDS WILL BE GRADUALLY DIMINISHING THROUGH THE
MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON...SO EXPECT WARMING WIND CHILLS...BUT
STILL IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS UNTIL LATER IN THE AFTERNOON.
DRY WX PREVAILS UNDER THE HIGH PRES.

SAT NIGHT...
HIGH PRES SLIDES OFFSHORE...BUT REMAINS IN CONTROL MOST OF THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. DO NOTE SOME MOISTURE LOADING THROUGH THE COLUMN
FROM THE UPPER LVLS DOWN...SO SUSPECT WILL SEE INCREASING HIGH AND
MID CLOUDS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...BUT THAT ANY PRECIP WILL
LIKELY HOLD OFF UNTIL THE DAYTIME SUN. THE INCREASING CLOUDS AND
RETURN FLOW SUGGESTS WARMER OVERNIGHT MINS...BUT STILL IN THE
TEENS AND 20S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

HIGHLIGHTS...

* HEAVY RAIN LIKELY LATE SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT
* LOW RISK RAIN ENDS AS A TOUCH OF SNOW FOR THE INTERIOR EARLY MON AM
* ANOTHER SYSTEM MAY BRING A PERIOD OF RAIN/SNOW TUE NIGHT/WED
* MAINLY DRY AND SEASONABLY CHILLY THU AND FRI

DETAILS...

SUNDAY AND MONDAY...

WHILE THERE IS STILL SOME SPREAD IN THE GUIDANCE...THE 12Z SUITE OF
DATA HAS TRENDED TOWARDS A FURTHER WEST TRACK WITH THE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM LATE SUNDAY INTO EARLY MONDAY AM.  THIS IS WHAT THE ECMWF
MODEL HAS BEEN ADVERTISING FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS.  APPEARS SHORTWAVE
ENERGY DROPPING SOUTHEAST TOWARDS THE GREAT LAKES WILL RESULT IN A
MORE NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH...ALLOWING LOW PRESSURE TO TRACK
FURTHER WEST.  TRACK STILL UNCERTAIN...BUT PROBABLY SOMEWHERE
BETWEEN WORCESTER AND THE CAPE COD CANAL.

ONE MIGHT THINK THAT WE ARE SETUP FOR A SIGNIFICANT SNOWSTORM GIVEN
THE SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY...BUT THAT IS NOT THE
CASE.  HIGH PRESSURE QUICKLY MOVES OFF THE COAST AND AN INITIAL LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES INTO CANADA.
THIS ALLOWS WARMER AIR AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT TO QUICKLY INVADE
THE REGION.  SO IT LOOKS LIKE MAINLY HEAVY RAIN IS IN THE CARDS FOR
LATE SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.  IT ACTUALLY COULD BE COLD ENOUGH AT
THE SURFACE FOR A LOW RISK OF LIGHT FREEZING RAIN ACROSS NORTHWEST
MA AT THE ONSET...BUT EVEN IF THAT OCCURS PROBABLY WOULD NOT LAST
LONG.  THERE ALSO IS A LOW RISK IF THE MODELS TREND A BIT COLDER WE
WOULD HAVE TO WATCH FOR SOME WET SNOW ACROSS THE EAST SLOPES OF
THE BERKSHIRES.  SEEMS TO BE A BIT TOO WARM THOUGH AT 925 MB ON MOST
MODELS...ALTHOUGH IT IS CLOSE ON THE GGEM.  AGAIN...SOMETHING WILL
NEED TO WATCH ESPECIALLY ACROSS FAR NORTHWEST FRANKLIN/NORTHWEST
HAMPSHIRE COUNTY FOR WET SNOW.

TIMING STILL UNCERTAIN AT THIS JUNCTURE...BUT RAIN LOOKS TO OVER
SPREAD THE REGION LATE SUNDAY MORNING OR AFTERNOON.  THE HEAVIEST
RAIN SHOULD FALL SUNDAY EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.  RAINFALL
AMOUNTS ON THE ORDER OF 0.75 TO 1.50 INCHES ARE EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF
THE REGION.  THIS MAY RESULT IN SOME TYPICAL NUISANCE POOR DRAINAGE
STREET FLOODING SUNDAY EVENING...BUT SIGNIFICANT FLOODING IS NOT
EXPECTED.

DEPENDING ON THE EXACT TRACK/INTENSITY OF THE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM...IT COULD END AS A TOUCH OF SNOW ACROSS THE INTERIOR VERY
EARLY MONDAY MORNING.  LOW PROBABILITY THAT SOME LOCALES ACROSS THE
DISTANT INTERIOR END UP WITH A SMALL ACCUMULATION WITH A HIGHER RISK
OF THAT ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKS.  USUALLY NEED A STORM TO
UNDERGO EXPLOSIVE CYCLOGENESIS TO GET MUCH SNOW ON THE BACKSIDE IN
OUR REGION.  EVEN THE MORE INTENSE GFS SEEMS TO DO THIS TOO LATE FOR
MUCH SNOW IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...SO NOT TOO OPTIMISTIC EVEN
ACROSS THE INTERIOR.

ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE BREEZY FOR A TIME SUNDAY NIGHT ALONG THE
COAST...INVERSION SHOULD KEEP THINGS BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA.
ALSO...NOT CONCERNED ABOUT COASTAL FLOODING AS WINDS WILL BE
OFFSHORE BY THE TIME A RELATIVELY HIGH ASTRO TIDE ARRIVES MONDAY
MORNING.

MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD END BE EARLY MONDAY MORNING.
OTHERWISE...DRY AND WINDY DURING THE DAY MONDAY.  NORTHWEST WIND
GUSTS OF 25 TO 40 MPH EXPECTED.  HIGHS ON MON SHOULD BE IN THE 30S
TO THE LOWER 40S.

MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...

MAINLY DRY AND SEASONABLY CHILLY WEATHER CONTINUES MONDAY NIGHT AND
TUESDAY.  HIGHS ON TUESDAY WILL MAINLY BE IN THE  30S.

TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...

LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST OVER THIS TIME.  LOW PRESSURE WILL APPROACH
FROM THE WEST AND MAY BRING A PERIOD OF RAIN AND/OR SNOW TO THE
REGION DEPENDING UPON ITS TRACK.  IF IT ENDS UP GOING TOO FAR SOUTH
WE COULD REMAIN DRY...BUT AGAIN LOW CONFIDENCE.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...

MAINLY DRY AND SEASONABLY CHILLY THU AND FRI WITH UPPER TROUGH
ACROSS THE NORTHEAST.

GALE WARNINGS CONTINUE.  MAY SEE WINDS DIMINISH A BIT TOWARD
DAYBREAK...BUT STILL STRONG SCA GUSTS EXPECTED OVER THE OPEN WATERS.
AT LEAST MODERATE FREEZING SPRAY IS EXPECTED LATE
TONIGHT INTO SAT AM...ESPECIALLY SOUNDS AND BAYS LATER
WHERE OCEAN TEMPS ARE A BIT COLDER.

TOMORROW...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
GALES DIMINISH TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES DURING THE EARLY MORNING

TOMORROW NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
WINDS SHIFT TO THE SW SAT EVENING. WITH GUSTS INCREASING DURING
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THIS MAY LEAD TO GUSTS 25-30 MPH BY THE EARLY
MORNING. ALSO...EXPECT GRADUALLY INCREASING SEAS TO ABOUT 5-6FT ON
THE OCEAN WATERS LATE. THEREFORE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE
LIKELY TO RETURN LATE SAT NIGHT.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF AND VFR CONDITIONS.

KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF AND VFR CONDITIONS.

OUTLOOK /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  SOUTHERLY SMALL
CRAFT WIND GUSTS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND
CONTINUE INTO THE NIGHT.  WILL KEEP WINDS BELOW GALE FORCE WITH A
STRONG INVERSION IN PLACE...BUT SEAS MAY BUILD TO 10 FEET ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN WATERS.

MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.  NORTHWEST
WIND GUSTS OF 25 TO 30 KNOTS EXPECTED IN THE COLD AIR ADVECTION
PATTERN BEHIND SUNDAY/S LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM.  LOW RISK OF GUSTS UP
TO 35 KNOTS IF THE MODELS TREND STRONGER WITH DEPARTING LOW
PRESSURE...WHICH WOULD INCREASE THE PRESSURE GRADIENT.

TUESDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.  SCA WIND GUSTS/SEAS LIKELY
LINGER INTO TUESDAY EVENING IN THE COLD AIR ADVECTION PATTERN.

WEDNESDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE.  WILL DEPEND UPON HOW CLOSE LOW PRESSURE
TRACKS TO OUR COASTAL WATERS.  A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY RIGHT NOW.
