AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
444 PM EDT FRI APR 1 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
PASSING COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION AND STALL OFFSHORE
TONIGHT. A LULL OVERNIGHT PRIOR TO ANOTHER BOUT OF RAIN SATURDAY.
AN INTENSIFYING CLIPPER LOW AND ITS ATTENDING ARCTIC FRONT SWEEPS
ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING...BRINGING THE
RISK FOR A BRIEF PERIOD ACCUMULATING SNOW ALONG WITH STRONG WINDS.
BEHIND THIS FRONT AN UNSEASONABLY COLD AIRMASS OVERSPREADS THE
REGION WITH BLUSTERY NORTHWEST WINDS. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE TRACKS
OVER OR NEAR THE SOUTH COAST OF NEW ENGLAND MONDAY...BRINGING THE
RISK FOR SNOW AND/OR RAIN TO THE AREA. DRYING TREND FOLLOWS TUE
BUT COLD AND BLUSTERY WEATHER AS WELL.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE ACROSS UPSTATE NEW YORK THIS AFTERNOON.
OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT...CLOUDS ARE BREAKING UP WHICH IS ALLOWING
FOR TEMPS TO WARM QUICKLY INTO THE 70S AND INCREASE IN MIXING. THIS
HAS ALSO ALLOWED FOR INSTABILITY VALUES TO INCREASE OVER 500 J/KG
ACROSS THE BERKSHIRES INTO WESTERN MASS. THIS IS LINED UP WITH WHERE
SPC HAS THE MARGINAL RISK. MOISTURE VALUES ARE SOMEWHAT LIMITED WITH
K VALUES OF OVER 32 ARE JUST MAKING ITS WAY INTO THE BERKS.
REGARDLESS BELIEVE ANY STORM THAT DOES DEVELOP COULD MAINTAIN ITSELF
INTO WESTERN MASS AS WINDS ACROSS ORE...CEF..BDL HAVE BACKED TO A
MORE SOUTHEAST DIRECTION WHERE PIT AND POU ARE ARE SOUTHWEST.

MAIN RISK WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE SMALL HAIL...STRONG GUSTY WINDS
AND NUISANCE FLOODING. POTENT 925 MB LLJ IS STILL IN THE VICINITY
OF THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON...AND IF ANY STORM STRENGTHENS ENOUGH
THEN IT COULD TAP INTO THE JET BRINGING DOWN THE GUSTY WINDS ALOFT.
PWAT VALUES ARE STILL ABOVE 1-1.2 INCHES...NEAR 3 STANDARD
DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL INDICATING A LOT OF MOISTURE WITHIN THE
ENVIRONMENT. SO THESE STORMS COULD RESULT IN HEAVY RAIN AND IF THEY
TRAIN A BIT THEN NUISANCE FLOODING IS POSSIBLE.

THROUGH THE AFTERNOON BELIEVE CONVECTION COULD MAINTAIN ITSELF
ACROSS THE PIONEER VALLEY AND PERHAPS INTO NORTHERN MASS. HOWEVER
ACROSS IJD TO TAN ANY LEFTOVER CONVECTION WILL BE RUNNING INTO A
MORE STABLE AIRMASS THANKS TO THE MARINE INFLUENCES. SO PRECIP WILL
BE MORE LIMITED TO SHOWERY WEATHER BY THIS EVENING ACROSS RHODE
ISLAND AND SOUTHEASTERN MASS. PRECIP SHOULD BEGIN TO PUSH OFFSHORE
AFTER 02Z RESULTING IN A DRYING TREND FROM WEST TO EAST.

LASTLY...FOGGY CONDITIONS STILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE SOUTH COAST OF
RHODE ISLAND AND REDEVELOPING FOR MASSACHUSETTS. VSBYS ARE IMPROVING
ACROSS RHODE ISLAND SO WILL LET SPS GO WHEN IT EXPIRES. HOWEVER MAY
NEED TO WATCH VSBYS ACROSS THE CAPE AS WEBCAMS ARE SHOWING FOG
MOVING BACK IN. CROSS SECTIONS ARE SHOWING NEARLY SATURATION WITHIN
THE LOW LEVELS AS AN INVERSION SETS UP THIS EVENING. HOWEVER WITH
THE FRONT APPROACHING COMBINED WITH GUSTY WINDS MAY LIMIT VSBYS FROM
DROPPING DOWN TO 1/4 SM.

TONIGHT...

CONDITIONS DRY OUT TONIGHT WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT. DRY
AIR DOES LAG A BIT SO COULD SEE SOME LINGERING FOG OR DRIZZLE ACROSS
THE CAPE AND THE ISLANDS. CLOUDS WILL TRY TO BREAK OUT TONIGHT BUT
NOT ENOUGH FOR TRUE RADIATIONAL COOLING. OVERNIGHT TEMPS WILL STAY
SOMEWHAT MILE...INTO THE MID TO UPPER 40S.

A FRONTAL WAVE WILL MOVE ALONG THE STALLED FRONT DURING THE SECOND
HALF OF THE NIGHT BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS TO THE REGION BY
SATURDAY MORNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
TOMORROW...

UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES KEEPS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
IN SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. WEAK SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FLOW
AND DEVELOP A SURFACE LOW WHICH WILL MOVE ALONG THE STALLED COLD
FRONT OFFSHORE. HIGHEST CONFIDENCE FOR PRECIP IS ACROSS RHODE ISLAND
AND SOUTHEAST MASS INCLUDING THE CAPE AND THE ISLANDS. LOCATIONS
NORTH AND WEST WILL SEE PRECIP BUT NOT AS WIDESPREAD THAN ACROSS SE
LOCATIONS.

BEING ON THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THE DEVELOPING LOW...850 MB TEMPS WILL
SLOWLY DROP THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THIS COMBINED WITH CLOUD COVER WILL
KEEP TEMPS INTO THE LOW TO MID 50S. BULK OF THE PRECIP SHOULD BEGIN
TO MOVE OFFSHORE BY THE LATE AFTERNOON WITH A FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE
INTO THE EVENING HOURS.

&&

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

* VERY ACTIVE WEATHER THIS PERIOD WITH A WINTER-LIKE PATTERN

* TEMPERATURES - UNSEASONABLY COLD FOR EARLY APRIL SUNDAY THROUGH
  WEDNESDAY...THEN MODERATING LATE NEXT WEEK

* PRECIPITATION - TWO POTENTIAL ACCUMULATING SNOW EVENTS...ONE
  LATE SAT NIGHT-EARLY SUNDAY W/THUNDERSNOW POSSIBLE...THE OTHER
  MONDAY-MONDAY NIGHT

SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING...NOT MUCH CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS
THINKING. IMPRESSIVE SHORTWAVE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR WILL HELP
RAPIDLY GENERATE A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. THE BIG QUESTION REMAINS HOW QUICKLY LOW LEVEL COLD AIR
CAN MOVE INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

CURRENT THINKING IS RAIN TO START...CHANGING GRADUALLY OVER TO
SNOW. THERE COULD BE SOME FREEZING RAIN DURING THIS TRANSITION
SATURDAY NIGHT. THAT MAY REQUIRE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY. JUST
NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH IN THE DETAILS TO ISSUE ONE NOW.

THE OTHER WILDCARD WILL BE THE POSSIBILITY OF CONVECTION. VERY
DYNAMIC SYSTEM...WITH SOME CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY...SO CANNOT RULE
IT OUT COMPLETELY. SHOULD ANY CONVECTION OCCUR WHILE IT IS
SNOWING...SNOWFALL MAY BE LOCALLY A BIT HIGHER THAN CURRENT
FORECAST.

ALSO WILL NEED TO MONITOR WIND POTENTIAL WITH THE INITIAL SURGE OF
COLDER AIR. IMPRESSIVE PRESSURE CHANGE COUPLET AT THE SURFACE.
SOME POTENTIAL FOR WIND GUSTS UP TO 60 MPH. AGAIN...NOT CONFIDENT
IN THE DETAILS JUST YET. TOO MANY MOVING PARTS.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT...DRYING TREND FOR THE AFTERNOON BEHIND THE
DEPARTING CLIPPER LOW. A MODIFIED ARCTIC AIRMASS OVERSPREADS OUR
REGION WITH BLUSTERY NW WINDS. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE 5-10
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL...WITH EVEN LOWER WIND CHILLS IN THE 20S.

MONDAY...MODELS CONTINUE TO TRACK A FRONTAL WAVE ALONG OR JUST
SOUTH OF THE SOUTH COAST OF NEW ENGLAND. NOT PERFECT AGREEMENT
WITH THE TRACK...SO STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY ON THE THERMAL
PROFILES. FOLLOWED A MODEL BLEND APPROACH TO SMOOTH OVER THESE
DIFFERENCES FOR NOW. STILL LOOKING LIKE A PLOWABLE SNOWFALL
POSSIBLE FOR MUCH OF THE REGION...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF I-90.

TUESDAY...UNSEASONABLE COLD ON BACKSIDE OF DEPARTING FRONTAL
WAVE. TEMPERATURES FOR MOST WILL STRUGGLE TO BREAK FREEZING.
DEPENDING ON WIND DIRECTION...THIS MAY SUPPORT OCEAN-EFFECT SNOWS
/OES/ ACROSS EASTERN COASTAL MA. OTHERWISE DRYING TREND ELSEWHERE.

WEDNESDAY...ENSEMBLES SUGGEST COLD MEAN TROUGH EXITS INTO THE NW
ATLANTIC...YIELDING RISING HEIGHTS...DRIER WEATHER AND MODERATING
TEMPERATURES.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...DECENT ENSEMBLE AGREEMENT ON MEAN TROUGH
RELOADING LATE NEXT WEEK. THUS A POSSIBLE COASTAL LOW SOMEWHERE
ALONG THE EAST COAST LATE NEXT WEEK. WILL HAVE TO WATCH INTENSITY
AND DURATION OF ANY COASTAL LOW AS ASTRONOMICAL TIDES ARE VERY
HIGH...12.0+ FT AT BOSTON. HENCE RISK OF COASTAL FLOODING. AT THE
PRESENT TIME...THINKING PRECIPITATION WOULD BE MAINLY IN THE FORM
OF RAIN.

BEFORE 03Z...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL LIFT THIS AFTERNOON AS COLD FRONT BEGINS TO
APPROACH THE REGION. LOW PROB OF -TSRA IN SOME OF THE SHOWERS
DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE FRONT. SW GUSTS NEAR 20-30 KTS WILL SWITCH
TO A MORE WESTERLY DIRECTION BEHIND FRONTAL PASS.

AFTER 03Z...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
DRYING TREND FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT AS COLD FRONT STALL SOUTH OF
ACK. MAINLY VFR WITH LOW PROB OF IFR/LIFR IN FOG ACROSS THE CAPE AND
ISLANDS. SHOWERS WILL BEING TO PICK UP NEAR DAYBREAK ACROSS THE
CAPE AND ISLANDS AS LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES.

TOMORROW...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
INCREASING -RA COVERAGE. LOWERING CIGS DOWN TO MVFR-IFR CIGS AND
VSBYS WITH LOWEST CONDITIONS FORECAST S/E.

SAT NIGHT/SUN MORNING...VFR-MVFR TO START...THEN LOWERING TO

SUN AFTN/NIGHT...IMPROVING TRENDS WITH CIGS LIFTING TO VFR ALONG
WITH DIMINISHING WINDS.

SNOW POSSIBLY MIXING WITH OR CHANGING TO RAIN ACROSS CT/RI AND
SOUTHEAST MA. PLOWABLE SNOWFALL POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY NORTHERN MA.

WEATHER AND LIGHT WINDS WILL PREVAIL TONIGHT. HOWEVER A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL MOVE ALONG THE WATERS TOMORROW MORNING RESULTING IN
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND LOWER VSBYS. SCA WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
PERIOD AWAY FROM THE EASTERN BAYS.

OUTLOOK /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

SAT NIGHT/SUNDAY...CLIPPER LOW TRACKS ALONG OR NEAR SOUTHERN NEW
