AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
613 PM EST TUE DEC 15 2015

.SYNOPSIS...

HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR NORTH WILL BRING DRY AND COOLER WEATHER TO
THE REGION THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING.  MILD WET-WEATHER FOR
THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY WITH A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES. TURNING MORE
SEASONABLE AND DRY FOR THE WEEKEND. A RETURN OF MILD WET-WEATHER
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

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

CONTINUED MID-LEVEL ENERGY THROUGH THE BROADER CYCLONIC FLOW THE
LAST WAVE OF WHICH IS SWEEPING ACROSS THE AREA PRESENTLY. AM
SEEING A SUBSEQUENT RESPONSE WITH AN INCREASE IN H925 VERTICAL
WIND PROFILER FLOW UP TO 40 KTS /45 MPH/. IT IS HEREAFTER THAT
WINDS SHOULD BACK MORE N AS RIDGING BUILDS IN FROM THE W ALLOWING
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD S OUT OF CANADA.

DAYTIME MIXING DIMINISHING DESPITE THE PRESENT IMPULSE OF WINDS
ALOFT HAS ALLOWED FOR THE EXPIRATION OF THE WIND ADVISORY. SHOULD
SEE THE PRESENT STRATOCUMULUS DECK ACROSS THE REGION DIMINISH OVER
THE REGION AS WELL WITH RISING HEIGHTS AND THE INCREASING PRESENCE
OF DRIER AIR. AGREE WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECASTER THAT THIS COULD
BE AN ALL-NIGHT PROCESS. CLOUDS COULD LINGER INTO THE MORNING
HOURS ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

THE SHIFT IN WINDS OUT OF THE N WILL RESULT IN A LONGER FETCH OVER
THE ADJACENT OCEAN WATERS TO THE E. SOME LOW MARITIME CLOUDS MAY
BEGIN TO DEVELOP OVER THE CAP AND ISLANDS. A MORE NE-FETCH WITHIN
THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW UP TO H925 MAY PUSH THEM ACROSS A GOOD CHUNK OF
SE NEW ENGLAND ... PERHAPS AS FAR W AS THE BOSTON-PROVIDENCE I-95
CORRIDOR.

OVERALL DRY WEATHER OTHER THAN A BRIEF SPRINKLE OR TWO EARLY ON
ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN OF THE BERKSHIRES. LOWS AROUND THE MID- TO
UPPER-30S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...

WEDNESDAY...

HIGH PRESSURE OVER EASTERN CANADA WILL SLOWLY MOVE EAST. THE RESULT
WILL BE NORTHEAST WINDS AND COOLER TEMPERATURES. HIGHS WILL BE IN
THE 40S...BUT THAT IS STILL A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE
MIDDLE OF DECEMBER! NORTHEAST FLOW OFF THE OCEAN SHOULD RESULT IN
SOME LOW CLOUD FORMATION...BUT AREAL COVERAGE AND WESTERN EXTENT
OF THESE CLOUDS REMAIN UNCERTAIN. HIGHEST CONFIDENCE IS ACROSS
SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND WITH A WESTWARD EXPANSION EXPECTED THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON...BUT DRY WEATHER WILL PREVAIL.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT...

HIGH PRESSURE MOVING OFF THE COAST WILL ALLOW A RETURN SOUTHERLY
FLOW OF AIR JUST OFF THE DECK. THE RESULT WILL BE LOW LEVEL
SATURATION AND MAINLY CLOUDY ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION. WHILE MID
LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN TOO DRY FOR SIGNIFICANT
PRECIPITATION...LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION MAY ALLOW FOR SPOTTY
LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS TO DEVELOP VERY LATE WED NIGHT WITH THE BEST
CHANCE ACROSS WESTERN MA/NORTHERN CT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARM
ENOUGH SO FROZEN PRECIPITATION WILL NOT BE A CONCERN FOR THE VAST
MAJORITY OF THE REGION. HOWEVER...THERE IS A LOW RISK FOR A BRIEF
PERIOD OF SPOTTY LIGHT FREEZING RAIN ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF
THE EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES AND PERHAPS THE FAR NORTHERN
WORCESTER HILLS. TEMPS MAY BE RIGHT AROUND FREEZING IN THESE
LOCATIONS...SO SOMETHING WILL HAVE TO WATCH. LOW TEMPS WILL MAINLY
BE IN THE 30S.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

*/ HIGHLIGHTS ...

 - THURSDAY: POTENTIAL HEAVY RAIN ... WARM
 - FRIDAY: NEAR-COAST LOW WITH WET-WEATHER FOR SE NEW ENGLAND
 - SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY: COOL AND DRY WITH BREEZY W-WINDS
 - EARLY WEEK: RENEWED WET-WEATHER AND BREEZY S-WINDS ... WARM

*/ OVERVIEW ...

INTERPRETING LONG-TERM TRENDS GRASPING THE ENSEMBLE / DETERMINISTIC
CONSENSUS TREND OF INSIDE-RUNNING WEATHER SYSTEMS. EL NINO SHOULD
SUSTAIN THROUGH WINTER ... WEAKENING INTO SPRING. THE MADDEN-JULIAN
OSCILLATION SHIFTED INTO PHASE 4. THE PACIFIC-DECADAL OSCILLATION IS
STRONGLY POSITIVE ... AND H5 HEIGHT ANOMALIES THE LAST MONTH HAVE
BEEN LARGELY POSITIVE OVER THE E-CONUS INTO E-CANADA. EVIDENCE TO
SUPPORT THE ABOVE-AVERAGE TEMPERATURE TREND AS OF LATE AS N-STREAM
WEATHER DISTURBANCES HAVE REMAINED LARGELY N/W OF THE NE-CONUS.

WITH FORECASTS OF THE NORTH-ATLANTIC / ARCTIC OSCILLATION TO BECOME
STRONGLY POSITIVE ... THE MADDEN-JULIAN TO RANGE BETWEEN PHASE 4 AND
5 ... A NEGATIVE PACIFIC-NORTH AMERICAN TREND ... AND ALL FACTORS
ABOVE RETAINING ... THE LONG-TERM TEMPERATURE TREND APPEARS WARMER-
THAN-AVERAGE. AN OVERALL H5 POSITIVE HEIGHT ANOMALY TREND PARENT
WITH A SW-PUSH OF ANOMALOUSLY WARM H85 AIR ... N-STREAM DISTURBANCES
RETAIN N/W OF OUR REGION. PROGRESSIVE FLOW PATTERN IN TANDEM.

SO OVERALL A COUPLE OF CONCERNS FOR THE LONG-TERM MAINLY CENTERED
AROUND THE PASSAGE OF N-STREAM DISTURBANCES AND ACCOMPANYING FRONTAL
BOUNDARIES:

1. S-PUSH OF HIGHER DEWPOINT AIR ALONG AND AHEAD MAY MAKE FOR SOME
SOUPY-FOGGY CONDITIONS SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE SEEN AS OF LATE. BOTH
SEA-SURFACE-TEMPERATURES AND GROUND-TEMPERATURES RANGE IN THE 40S.
NUDGING DEWPOINTS INTO THE 50S SHOULD RESULT IN LOW VISIBILITIES
SHOULD WINDS REMAIN FAIRLY LIGHT.

2. ANOMALOUS HIGH PWAT AIR FORECAST AHEAD OF DISTURBANCES ... THERE
IS THE POTENTIAL THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN. WELCOMING BUT NOT APPEARING
TO BE ANY NOTEWORTHY RISK OF FLOODING.

WILL BRIEFLY FOCUS ON THE TWO-POINTS ABOVE IN THE DAILY-FORECAST
DISCUSSION BELOW.

*/ DISCUSSION ...

THURSDAY ...

OPTIMISTIC PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN THE FORM OF RAIN. TEMPERATURES
WARMED ABOVE FREEZING BY MORNING. POTENTIALLY HEAVY AT TIMES AROUND
EVENING CENTERED AROUND A TRIPLE-POINT/MESO-LOW. SW WARM-MOIST
INFLOW INTO A CONDITIONALLY-UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT IS RATHER STRONG.
NEED TO MONITOR FOR GUSTY WINDS ESPECIALLY S/SE OF AFOREMENTIONED
LOW WITH STRONG H925 INFLOW NOTCH. WARMING THRU THE DAY ... STEADY
THROUGH MIDNIGHT. DROPPING OFF AS WINDS BACK NW INTO FRIDAY MORNING.
LIKELY TO BE LOW-CLOUD / FOG / VISIBILITY IMPACTS AS DEWPOINTS RISE
INTO THE UPPER-40S TO LOW-50S TOWARDS LATE THURSDAY INTO THE EVENING
PERIOD. COOL GROUND TEMPERATURES AND OCEAN WATERS ... DEWPOINTS JUST
5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE ... MAINLY VALUES IN THE 50S ... WOULD LIKELY
YIELD FOG.

FRIDAY ...

ADDITIONAL MID-LEVEL ENERGY PARENT WITH THE RIGHT-REAR-QUADRANT OF
THE UPPER-LEVEL-JET INVOKE OFFSHORE CYCLOGENESIS ALONG THE DEPARTING
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. SUBSEQUENT NEAR-SHORE LOW LIKELY TO RESULT IN
CONTINUED WET-WEATHER FOR SE NEW ENGLAND. ANTICIPATING A TIGHT NW-SE
GRADIENT OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS S NEW ENGLAND. UNDERCUTTING NW-FLOW
CONTINUES. CONSIDERING THE TIMING ... PROXIMITY ... AND EXTENT ...
EXPECT AN ALL-RAIN EVENT. NO WINTER-WEATHER HAZARDS EXCEPT NW HIGH
TERRAIN WHERE LINGERING CONTINENTAL MOISTURE THROUGH THE BROADER
CYCLONIC FLOW COUPLED WITH MOISTURE OFF THE LAKES COULD LEAD TO SNOW
SHOWER ACTIVITY BROUGHT ON BY MID-LEVEL LIFT AND OROGRAPHIC ASCENT.
NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO BEGIN THINKING ABOUT SNOW ACCUMULATION.

SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY ...

KEEPING IT COOL AND DRY. SCATTERED TO BROKEN CLOUDS EARLY BENEATH
CYCLONIC FLOW ... BUT AS THE RIDGE BUILDS IN ... SHOULD SEE SUNSHINE
AS WINDS TURN S. -10 TO -12C AT H85 AS THE BOUNDARY-LAYER BECOMES
WELL-MIXED. WILL TREND WITH GREATER MIX-DOWN OF MOMENTUM AND DRIER
AIR TO THE SURFACE. THINKING NEAR-SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES. BREEZY W-
WINDS BOTH DAYS THE STRONGER OF WHICH ON SATURDAY WITH POTENTIAL
GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH ... ESPECIALLY CLOSER TO WARMER OCEAN WATERS.

MONDAY INTO TUESDAY ...

APPROACH OF ANOTHER WEATHER SYSTEM. S-FLOW AHEAD WITH INCREASING
DEWPOINTS INTO THE 50S. CONCERN WITH REGARDS TO FOG PRIOR TO THE
ONSET OF RAIN. PER SYNOPTICS ... MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY LOOKS FRONT-
END SO NOT CONCERNED OF ANY WINTER-RELATED HAZARDS. MAY NEED TO
WATCH THE TAIL-END OF THE SYSTEM LATE TUESDAY WITH A SECONDARY-LOW
DEVELOPMENT. OVERALL A LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST AT THIS TIME.
