AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
332 AM EST MON FEB 23 2015

.SYNOPSIS...

AN ARCTIC FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE REGION TODAY USHERING FRIGID AND
BLUSTERY CONDITIONS THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. LOW PRESSURE PASSES
OFFSHORE TUESDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER ARCTIC FRONT SWINGS ACROSS SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND WEDNESDAY. COLD HIGH PRESSURE THEN SETTLES OVER NEW
ENGLAND FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.

&&

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

ARCTIC COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS NEW ENGLAND DURING THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS. CONTINUED LACK OF MOISTURE DESPITE THE ACCOMPANYING UNSTABLE
LOW-LEVEL PROFILE PARENT WITH DECENT FORCING AND LIFT. CONSENSUS OF
FORECAST GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO AGREE UPON LITTLE IF ANY SNOW-SHOWER/
SNOW-SQUALL ACTIVITY WITH NEGLIGIBLE ASSOCIATED PARAMETERS. WSR-88D
RETURNS HOWEVER W OF THE REGION ARE MAINTAINING SOME STRUCTURE EVEN
THOUGH BECOMING MORE DIFFUSE...WEAKENING WITH TIME. CONFIDENT THERE
WILL BE A FOCUS OF BOTH MOISTURE / LIFT ALONG THE W-SLOPES OF HIGH
TERRAIN YIELDING ACTIVITY...OTHERWISE WE REMAIN MOSTLY DRY. KEEPING
WITH SLIGHT-CHANCE POPS FOR THE EARLY-MORNING PERIOD. BE INTERESTING
TO SEE HOW THE SNOW-SHOWERS EVOLVE AS THEY DOWNSLOPE OFF THE BERKS.
IF THEY SURVIVE...LOCALES WITHIN THE CT-RIVER VALLEY AROUND HARTFORD
AND SPRINGFIELD COULD SEE SOME LOCALIZED VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS AND
LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS AROUND THE MORNING COMMUTE. WILL ADDRESS
AS NECESSARY WITH SPECIAL WX STATEMENTS. LOW CLOUDS AND/OR FOG
ACROSS SE NEW ENGLAND QUICKLY ERODE WITH THE INCREASE W-FLOW AND
USHERANCE OF COLD AND DRY AIR.

BEHIND THE ARCTIC FRONT...VERY COLD AIRMASS ALOFT SURGES SE INTO THE
REGION. H85 TEMPERATURES AROUND -25C BY EVENING. EXPECT HIGHS TO BE
ACCOMPLISHED JUST PRIOR TO THE ARCTIC AIRMASS...THEN ITS A DOWNWARD
TREND THEREAFTER THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE DAY. SO NO WARM-UP EXPECTED.
BOUNDARY-LAYER FURTHER DESTABILIZES ALLOWING THE MIX-DOWN OF FASTER
MOMENTUM ALOFT TO THE SURFACE. NW-WIND GUSTS 25-35 MPH...STRONGEST
ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN AND NEAR-SHORES PER A POWER-REGRESSION OF
BOUNDARY-LAYER BUFKIT PROFILES BLENDED WITH A FORECAST CONSENSUS OF
WIND-GUST GUIDANCE. WINDS AND TEMPERATURES TOGETHER...WIND CHILL
VALUES WILL BE AROUND 5 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW-ZERO. BRRR CHILLY.

&&

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

TONIGHT...

HIGH PRESSURE. LIGHT WINDS. MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS. DEEP SNOWPACK.
EXCEPTIONALLY LOW DEWPOINTS. ALL COMBINED BITTERLY COLD CONDITIONS
EXPECTED LIKELY ENHANCED BY RADIATIONAL COOLING. CONTINUED DOWNWARD
TREND OF TEMPERATURES RIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. RECORD LOWS
POSSIBLE /SEE THE CLIMATE SECTION BELOW/ AS TEMPERATURES DURING THE
MORNING WILL RANGE AROUND 5 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW-ZERO...LIKELY A FEW
LOCATIONS AT OR BELOW -20. WENT WITH A CONSENSUS OF MOS GUIDANCE
THOUGH SURMISE THAT WE ARE NOT CAPTURING THE SMALL-SCALE NUANCES
WE TYPICALLY SEE WITHIN VALLEYS AND KATABATIC FLOW /I.E. NORWOOD
AIRPORT/.

COMBINED WITH W-WINDS WHICH WILL BE A BIT MORE BRISK ALONG THE E/SE-
SHORES...WIND CHILL VALUES ARE FORECAST TO RANGE AROUND 10 TO 20
DEGREES BELOW-ZERO. WIND CHILL ADVISORIES CONTINUE AND HAVE BEEN
EXTENDED IN TIME TO 10 AM /15Z/ AND IN EXTENT TO INCORPORATE THE
CITY OF PROVIDENCE...AND NORTHERN BRISTOL AND PLYMOUTH COUNTIES IN
MASSACHUSETTS. AGAIN...FEEL WE ARE NOT FULLY CAPTURING THE TRUE
SCOPE OF RADIATIONAL COOLING ANTICIPATED. CLIMATOLOGICALLY...PLACES
LIKE TAUNTON LIKELY TO BE LOWER THAN FORECAST.

OTHERWISE...OCEAN-EFFECT STRATUS / SNOW-SHOWERS MAY CLIP THE OUTER-
CAPE AND NANTUCKET OVERNIGHT WITH THE BRISK ARCTIC W-WINDS OVER THE
WARMER WATERS. LOWERED VISIBILITIES ALONG WITH LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS
WHICH LEAD TO HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS AS USUAL.

TUESDAY...

STARTING OFF COLD. WIND CHILL ADVISORIES EXPIRING 10 AM. AS HIGH
PRESSURE SHIFTS E...SEE RETURN S-FLOW ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO
REBOUND. INITIAL SUNSHINE IS SHORT-LIVED AS CLOUDS AND EVEN PRECIP
CHANCES INCREASE OUT OF THE S.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...

BIG PICTURE... UPPER RIDGE ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST TRANSLATES WEST
TO MID-OCEAN LATE IN THE WEEK. TROUGH DOMINATING EASTERN NORTH
AMERICA SHIFTS NORTH WHILE ITS AXIS SHIFTS WEST TO THE PLAINS AND
ROCKIES BY THE WEEKEND. THIS IN TURN ALLOWS SOME BUILDING OF
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE FARTHER WEST.  FOR NEW ENGLAND THIS MEANS
RISING HEIGHTS THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK AND ESPECIALLY OVER THE
WEEKEND.

NOTING THREE SHORTWAVES EMBEDDED IN THIS FLOW. ONE CROSSES NEW
ENGLAND WEDNESDAY. THE SECOND CROSSES FRIDAY...BUT MUCH OF IT
ACTUALLY LIFTS NORTH INTO CANADA AS THE UPPER TROUGH RECEDES NORTH.
THE THIRD COMES FROM THE ARCTIC LATE WEEK AND ACROSS CENTRAL CANADA
OVER THE WEEKEND.

OVERALL A QUIET WEATHER PERIOD WITH COLD TEMPERATURES. TEMPERATURES
SHOULD MODERATE OVER THE WEEKEND.

DAILIES...

TUESDAY NIGHT...NORTHERN SHORTWAVE AND ATTENDANT 125 KNOT UPPER
JET APPROACH NEW ENGLAND TUESDAY NIGHT AND PLACE OUR REGION IN THE
LEFT EXIT REGION OF THE JET. THIS UPPER VENTING AHEAD OF THE
ARCTIC FRONT WOULD SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF A COASTAL LOW SOUTH OF
NEW ENGLAND. IT WOULD ALSO BE EXPECTED TO DRAW SOME OF THE BROAD
MOISTURE FIELD OVER THE WEST ATLANTIC NORTH TO FUEL THE DEVELOPING
LOW WITH SOME PCPN. BUT WITH THE SOUTHERN UPPER JET OVER THE DEEP
SOUTH AND CAROLINAS INTERCEPTING SOUTHERN MOISTURE AND FEEDING IT
TO ANOTHER SYSTEM OUT OVER THE OCEAN...THE COASTAL LOW MAY BECOME
MOISTURE STARVED. WE WILL FEATURE CHANCE POPS TUESDAY NIGHT ALONG
THE COAST INTO RI AND EASTERN MASS AND EVEN LOW-END LIKELY POPS
OVER EASTERN PARTS OF THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. QPF WOULD SUPPORT AN
INCH OR TWO OF SNOW. A SECOND AREA OF CHANCE POPS OVER NORTHWEST
MASS ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING ARCTIC FRONT. TEMPERATURES
UPSTREAM SHOW SINGLE NUMBERS...BUT ALSO SIGNS OF A MODERATION AS
THE AIRMASS SWEEPS CLOSER TO SEA LEVEL. WE WILL FEATURE MIN TEMPS
UPPER SINGLE NUMBERS AND TEENS.

WEDNESDAY...COASTAL LOW MOVES OFF TOWARD THE MARITIMES. MERGING OF
THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN JETS MAY TURN THIS INTO A SIGNIFICANT
STORM FOR THE MARITIMES...BUT TOO LATE FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
MODEL CONSENSUS HAS THE ARCTIC FRONT SWEEPING THROUGH OUR AREA
WEDNESDAY MIDDAY BUT WITH LITTLE MOISTURE FOR PCPN...AND PROBABLY
LIMITED SKY COVER. TEMPS ALOFT WOULD SUPPORT MAX SFC TEMPS IN THE
UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S.  MODEL AIRMASS TEMPS SHOW ABOUT A 10-15F
COOLING BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE SINGLE NUMBERS
EITHER SIDE OF ZERO. WE USED A 10 DEGREE CHANGE IN MIN TEMP FROM
TUESDAY NIGHT.

THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY... ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTH FROM
CANADA INTO THE USA AND EXTENDS ACROSS NEW ENGLAND. ONE SHORTWAVE
MOVES THROUGH THE SOUTHERN STREAM WED NIGHT/THURSDAY. BUT PLACEMENT
OF THE SURFACE HIGH OVER US AND PLACEMENT OF THE SOUTHERN JET IN A
WESTERLY FLOW OVER THE CAROLINAS WILL KEEP ANY INCLEMENT WEATHER
SOUTH OF OUR AREA. THIS MEANS SEVERAL DAYS OF DRY WEATHER LEADING
INTO THE COMING WEEKEND.

SUNDAY NIGHT... AS THE UPPER TROUGH SHIFTS TOWARD THE WESTERN
USA...THE FAVORABLE ZONE FOR STORM FORMATION SHIFTS TO TEXAS. ALSO
AS THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES OFF THE EAST COAST A SOUTH FLOW OFF THE
GULF OF MEXICO WILL MOVE MILDER AIR NORTH CREATING AN AIRMASS
BOUNDARY OVER THE MIDWEST. THE ECMWF BUILDS AN INVERTED TROUGH UP
THE MISSISSIPPI AND OHIO VALLEYS WHILE THE GFS SORT-OF DOES THIS AND
THEN TIES IT INTO A NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE. BOTH INDICATE PCPN
ARRIVING IN NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY NIGHT. CONFIDENCE IS LOW BECAUSE IT
IS LATE ON DAY 7...BUT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO MENTION LOW-END CHANCE
POPS SUNDAY NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...

9Z UPDATE...

TODAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

ARCTIC FRONT SWEEPS TERMINALS 9Z-15Z. LIGHT / VARIABLE WINDS
BECOMING W/NW GUSTING 20-30 KTS /STRONGEST OVER HIGH-TERRAIN AND
COASTAL TERMINALS/. SHSN POSSIBLE ALONG WITH MVFR-IFR IMPACTS
ALBEIT BRIEF.

SPECIFICALLY FOR SE MA TERMINALS...ANY MVFR-VLIFR FOG / LOW CLOUDS
WILL ERODE BY 12Z AT THE LATEST. WITH THE ARCTIC FRONT OFFSHORE...
MVFR OCEAN-EFFECT STRATUS / SHSN WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE OUTER-
CAPE AND NANTUCKET BEGINNING AROUND 21Z.

MONDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

MAINLY VFR. GUSTY NW-WINDS 20-30 KTS DIMINISH TOWARDS TUESDAY MORN.
MVFR REMAINS POSSIBLE OVER THE OUTER-CAPE / NANTUCKET WITH SHSN.

TUESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

VFR. WINDS TURN S. OFFSHORE MARINE-STRATUS DRAWN BACK IN ACROSS
THE INTERIOR AS MID- TO HIGH-LEVEL CLOUDS INCREASE.

KBOS TAF...FRONTAL PASSAGE ANTICIPATED AROUND 11Z. IT IS DURING
THIS TIME THAT SHSN WILL BE POSSIBLE...BUT BELIEVE IT TO BE A LOW
RISK.

KBDL TAF...SHSN APPROACHING FROM THE W. BELIEVE THEY WILL ERODE AS
THEY CREST OVER AND DOWNWARD ALONG THE LEE OF THE BERKSHIRES. LOW
RISK OF SHSN AND MVFR-IFR IMPACTS AROUND 930Z.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...MODERATE-HIGH CONFIDENCE

TUESDAY NIGHT...AREAS OF MVFR IN SNOW SHOWERS WITH THE BEST CHANCE
ON CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS. VFR ALL OTHER AREAS.

WEDNESDAY...VFR.  PATCHES OF MVFR IN SNOW SHOWERS MAY LINGER IN
EXTREME EASTERN MASS IN THE MORNING. NORTHWEST WINDS GUST TO 25
KNOTS.

THURSDAY-FRIDAY...VFR.

.MARINE...

FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...

TODAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

ARCTIC FRONT SWEEPS THE WATERS BEGINNING AROUND 7-8 AM BEHIND WHICH
W/NW-WINDS INCREASING 20-30 KTS WITH A LOW RISK OF GALE-FORCE GUSTS
UP TO 35 KTS. LIGHT TO MODERATE FREEZING SPRAY APPROACHING HEAVY
TOWARD EVENING. SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOPING OVER THE EASTERN MA WATERS.
SEAS BUILDING 8 TO 10 FEET ON THE OUTER WATERS.

GALE WATCH CONTINUES DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER GALES
WILL BE REACHED. WE ARE JUST ON THE CUSP BASED ON A CONSENSUS OF
THE FORECAST GUIDANCE WHICH IN SOME INSTANCES UNDERDOES THE GALE
FORCE WINDS.

FREEZING SPRAY WARNING WAS EXTENDED IN TIME TO INCORPORATE PERIODS
OF BOTH MODERATE AND HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY.

TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

W/NW-WINDS DIMINISHING TOWARDS TUESDAY MORNING. GUSTS 20-30 KTS
INITIALLY WITH 10-20 KTS BY MORNING. WIDESPREAD MODERATE FREEZING
SPRAY ALONG WITH AREAS OF HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY. SEAS DIMINISHING.

TUESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

WAVE ACTIVITY SHOULD BE DIMINISHED BY MIDDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
PUSHES E OVER THE WATERS ALLOWING FOR RETURN S-FLOW LATE.

OUTLOOK...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY..MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

TUESDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY...SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD OF AN ARCTIC FRONT
WILL HAVE WINDS GUSTING 20-25 KNOTS...WITH 5 FOOT SEAS ON THE OUTER
WATERS. THE FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE WATERS WEDNESDAY WITH A WIND
SHIFT NORTHWEST. WINDS WILL THEN GUST TO 30 KNOTS. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED.

THURSDAY-FRIDAY...NORTHWEST TO NORTH WINDS AS COLD AIR MOVES ACROSS
THE WATERS. WINDS WILL GUST AROUND 20 KNOTS THURSDAY...LESS FRIDAY.
SEAS WILL MOSTLY BE LESS THAN 5 FEET...BUT A FEW LINGERING 5 FOOTERS
ARE POSSIBLY ALONG THE OUTER EDGE OF THE OUTER WATERS.
