AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1257 PM EST TUE FEB 3 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
DRY BUT FRIGID WEATHER TODAY AND TONIGHT IS FOLLOWED BY A PERIOD OF
LIGHT SNOW OR FLURRIES WED AS A WEAK CLIPPER LOW SWEEPS ACROSS THE
AREA. ANOTHER ARCTIC FRONT SWINGS THROUGH NEW ENGLAND LATER THU WITH
A FRIGID BLAST THU NIGHT INTO FRI. LOW PRESSURE MAY FORM ON THE
FRONT THU AND YIELD A RISK FOR SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW. ANOTHER COLD
FRONT MOVES THROUGH SATURDAY FOLLOWED BY YET ANOTHER RISK OF SNOW
SUNDAY/MONDAY AS LOW PRESSURE TRACKS SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1 PM UPDATE...
ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS NECESSARY WITH THIS UPDATE. A FEW MID AND
HIGH CLOUDS ARE STREAMING ACROSS THE AREA ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK
UPPER LVL WAVE...HOWEVER HIGH PRES IS MAINTAINING PRIMARY CONTROL
ACROSS THE REGION.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

A CHILLY START TO THIS MORNING WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS TO TEENS.  IN ADDITION...GUSTY NORTHWESTERLY WINDS HAVE KEPT
WIND CHILLS BELOW ZERO...AND AS LOW AS 20 BELOW ZERO ACROSS THE
NORTHERN AND WESTERN ZONES.

LOW PRESSURE PULLS AWAY FROM SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND INTO THE
MARITIMES EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS ALLOWS HIGH PRESSURE TO START
BUILDING INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

CONTINUED NORTHWESTERLY WINDS COUPLED WITH THE FRESH SNOWPACK WILL
KEEP TEMPERATURES IN THE TEENS TO AROUND 20 DEGREES.  THIS MAY BE
FURTHER LIMITED BY MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS CREEPING INTO THE
REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
TONIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE CRESTS SOUTH OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AS
CLIPPER LOW APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.  WITH A FAIRLY FRESH SNOWPACK
IN PLACE AND FRIGID TEMPERATURES DURING THE DAY...EXPECT
TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN CHILLY.  THIS IS DESPITE MOSTLY OVERCAST
SKIES AND WINDS SHIFTING TO THE SOUTHWEST.  OVERNIGHT LOWS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO LOW TEENS.

SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE CLIPPER LOW COUPLED WITH WEAK
SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL ALLOW FOR A FEW SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE
NORTHWESTERN ZONES LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. EXPECT
1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW AT MOST WITH THESE SHOWERS.

WEDNESDAY...AS MENTIONED ABOVE...A FEW SNOW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE
WITH A PIECE OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY AHEAD OF THE CLIPPER LOW EARLY
WEDNESDAY MORNING.

OTHERWISE...INCREASING CLOUDS EXPECTED WITH APPROACH OF THE CLIPPER
LOW.  IN ADDITION...INCREASING LOW LEVEL JET MAY RESULT IN GUSTY
WINDS DURING THE DAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* SOME ACCUMULATING SNOW POSSIBLE THURSDAY
* MORE FRIGID WEATHER THU NIGHT INTO FRI
* ANOTHER CHANCE OF SNOW SUNDAY/MONDAY

AN ACTIVE AND COLD WEATHER PATTERN THIS PERIOD WITH SPLIT FLOW
REGIME IN RESPONSE TO REX TYPE BLOCK PATTERN OVER NORTHEAST PACIFIC
INTO ALASKA. SPLIT FLOW TYPICALLY OFFERS LOW PREDICTABILITY GIVEN
TIMING ISSUES WITH STREAMS PHASING AND THIS PATTERN IS NO
DIFFERENT. HOWEVER THE GUIDANCE DOES SUGGEST THE TROUGH-RIDGE
WAVELENGTH INCREASES THIS PERIOD WHICH WOULD FAVOR A BROADER-LESS
AMPLITUDE EASTERN LONG WAVE TROUGH. THIS WOULD SUPPORT SOMEWHAT
FLATTER/WEAKER MORE PROGRESSIVE SYSTEMS.

00Z ECMWF CONTINUES TO BE THE MOST AMPLIFIED SOLUTION REGARDING
POTENTIAL CYCLOGENESIS ALONG THE ARCTIC BOUNDARY THU. ALL OTHER 00Z
GUIDANCE INCLUDING THE NAM/GFS/UKMET AND CMC IS SLOWER IN DEVELOPING
THE FRONTAL WAVE WITH MUCH OF ITS IMPACTS REMAINING OFFSHORE.
HOWEVER MODEL SPREAD IS STILL FAIRLY LARGE HERE AND THE TIME FRAME
IS STILL 60-72 HR...THUS BEST COURSE OF ACTION IS TO PLAY THIS DOWN
THE MIDDLE. THEREFORE WILL FOLLOW A MODEL BLEND HERE. FOR WHATEVER
REASON THE ECMWF HAS HAD A MORE AMPLIFIED BIAS THIS WINTER SO FAR.

EVEN IF THE MORE OFFSHORE SOLUTION VERIFIES...A FEW INCHES OF
SNOWFALL IS STILL POSSIBLE WITH THE PARENT LOW AND STRENGTHENING
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THEREFORE EXPECTING AT LEAST SOME IMPACT TO THE
THU MORNING COMMUTE.

GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT ON AN ANOTHER ARCTIC BLAST BEHIND THIS
DEPARTING SYSTEM THU NGT INTO FRI.

ANOTHER CLIPPER LOW IS POSSIBLE AROUND SAT AND ACCOMPANIED BY LIGHT
SNOW OR FLURRIES.

THEN A MORE ROBUST SYSTEM POSSIBLE SUN/MON WITH RISK OF SNOW AS LOW
PRES TRACKS SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND. 00Z ECMWF ONCE AGAIN APPEARS AS A
STRONG OUTLIER HERE WITH GFS AND UKMET NOT AS AMPLIFIED.
