AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
357 AM EST FRI JAN 8 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN DEVELOPS THIS WEEKEND WITH SPOTTY LIGHT
PRECIPITATION POSSIBLE LATE FRI INTO SAT ALONG WITH COOL TEMPS. THEN
SUNDAY RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES WILL BRING A WIND SWEPT SOAKING RAIN ALONG WITH NEAR RECORD
HIGH TEMPS. A COLDER WEATHER PATTERN BECOMES ESTABLISHED FOR MUCH OF
NEXT WEEK.  WILL HAVE TO WATCH AN OCEAN STORM BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK...BUT IT REMAINS UNCERTAIN IF IT WILL TRACK CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE
COAST TO HAVE ANY IMPACT ON OUR WEATHER.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
400 AM UPDATE...

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER QUEBEC HAS RESULTED IN CLEAR SKIES AND
LIGHT WINDS...A GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING NIGHT ACROSS MUCH OF THE
REGION. LOW LEVEL PROFILES AS OF 4AM SHOW A MORE NORTHEAST COMPONET
BRINGING IN MOISTURE BELOW AN INVERSION. THIS HAS CAUSED LOCATIONS
ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST TO INCREASE IN TEMPS...INTO THE UPPER 30S
TO LOW 40S. DEWPOINTS HAVE ALSO RISEN INTO THE 30S RESULTING IN LOW
CLOUDS. IN FACT MVFR CLOUDS HAVE BEGUN TO SPREAD FROM THE EAST
COAST TO THE WORCESTER HILLS. THIS EXPANSION WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE REST OF THE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING.

HAVE REMOVED ALL CHANCE OF DRIZZLE/FREEZING DRIZZLE FOR THE MORNING
COMMUTE. STILL PLENTY OF DRY AIR THAT THE PROFILE WILL HAVE TO
OVERCOME FOR DRIZZLE TO OCCUR. LATEST SOUNDINGS SHOW A BETTER CHANCE
LATE IN THE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER MOTORIST SHOULD STILL
USE CAUTION AS RISING DEWPOINTS WITH TEMPS BELOW FREEZING COULD
ALLOW FOR BLACK ICE ON THE ROADS. BEST CHANCE WILL BE ACROSS THE
CAPE AND SOUTHEAST MASS WHERE DEWPOINTS ARE ALREADY RISING.

TODAY...

A CLOUDY DAY WILL BE IN STORE LIMITING HEATING FOR TODAY. IN FACT
WITH HIGH TO THE NORTH...LOCATIONS ALONG THE CT VALLEY MAY STRUGGLE
TO WARM INTO THE MID 30S DUE TO COLD AIR DAMMING. HOWEVER PLAYED
TEMPS CONSERVATIVELY AND WARMED THEM UP CLOSER TO MET GUIDANCE.
LOCATIONS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST WILL WARM INTO THE 40S THANKS TO
ONSHORE FLOW.

NORTHEAST FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE DAY INCREASING THE LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE PROFILE. AS LOW CLOUDS BEGIN TO THICKEN...THERE IS
THE CHANCE THAT SPOTTY DRIZZLE MAY DEVELOP. BOTH HI-RES MODEL
GUIDANCE AS WELL AS SOUNDINGS AND CROSS SECTIONS SHOW THAT
SATURATION WILL OCCUR AFTER 15Z CLOSER TO 18Z. SURFACE TEMPS MAY BE
WARM ENOUGH FOR P-TYPE TO REMAIN ALL DRIZZLE HOWEVER IF ANYONE IS
BELOW 32F...LIGHT ICING COULD BE AN ISSUE. FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS
LOW...DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE DRIZZLE EVEN DEVELOPING TODAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SATURDAY/...

TONIGHT...

HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH WILL BEGIN TO EXIT OFFSHORE AS UPPER
LEVEL WAVE BEGINS TO MOVE THROUGH THE FLOW. THIS WAVE WILL BE
WEAKENING AS IT WILL BE ROUNDING OVER THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE OVER NEW
ENGLAND. REGARDLESS APPEARS THAT THERE WILL ENOUGH SUBTLE LIFT AND
MOISTURE FOR PRECIP TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION DUE TO OVERRUNNING AS
WEAK WARM FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION. EXPECT DRIZZLE OR PERHAPS
FREEZING DRIZZLE TO BE THE MAIN P-TYPE IF THERE IS ENOUGH MOISTURE.
AS NOTICED BY PREV FORECASTER...THE SOUNDINGS SHOW THE COLUMN BEGINS
TO MOISTEN IN THE SNOW GROWTH REGION NEAR 12Z SATURDAY ESP ACROSS
NORTHWEST MASS. THIS FEATURE SUGGESTS THAT THE COLD AIR MAY BE DEEP
ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A BRIEF PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW AND/OR SLEET. EXPECT
VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ACCUMULATION AS QPF IS VERY LOW AND THE
MOISTURE ISN'T ALL THAT DEEP. WORST CASE IS A FEW HUNDREDTH OF
AN INCH OF SNOW AND TRACE IN ICE.

HAVE NOTICED THAT TEMPS WILL NOT BE AS COLD AS THEY ARE EARLY THIS
MORNING AS CLOUD COVER WILL LIMIT RADIATIONAL COOLING. SO THERE IS
SOME UNCERTAINTY THAT SURFACE TEMPS MAY BE MARGINAL FOR FREEZING
DRIZZLE.

DECIDED TO HOLD OFF ON ANY HEADLINES AT THIS TIME AS CONFIDENCE IS
TO LOW.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* SPOTTY FREEZING DRIZZLE/LIGHT SNOW PSBL NW OF I-95 SAT MORNING
* WINDSWEPT SOAKING RAIN W/NEAR RECORD HIGHS SUNDAY
* SEASONABLY COLD WEATHER EARLY NEXT WEEK THEN COLDER LATTER
  HALF OF THE WEEK
* OCEAN STORM MAY OR MAY NOT IMPACT THE REGION TUE NIGHT/WED

OVERVIEW...
MODELS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT ON OVERALL PATTERN THROUGH NEXT WEEK BUT
DIFFER ON DETAILS. POTENT SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE LIFTING NE FROM
THE OHIO VALLEY WILL BRING A PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS TO
SNE SUNDAY.  THEN LONGWAVE TROF SETS UP ACROSS THE GT LAKES AND NEW
ENG FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK AS UPPER RIDGE BUILDS ALONG THE WEST
COAST. THIS WILL RESULT IN COLDER REGIME WITH NEAR SEASONABLE COLD
TO START THE WEEK THEN TRENDING BELOW NORMAL DURING THE LATTER HALF
OF THE WEEK. THE DIFFERENCES ARE WITH THE AMPLITUDE OF MID LEVEL
TROF AROUND MIDWEEK AS NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE ENERGY ROTATES
THROUGH THE FLOW. SECONDARY LOW EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OFF THE COAST
DURING THE MIDWEEK PERIOD BUT MAY IT MAY BE TOO LATE AND DEVELOP TOO
FAR OFFSHORE TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THE REGION. THIS IS STILL DAY 6
SO WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO CLOSELY MONITOR.

DETAILS...

SATURDAY...
HIGH PRES OVER THE MARITIMES WITH PERSISTENT LOW LEVEL MOIST NE FLOW
WILL LEAD TO SOME SPOTTY LIGHT PRECIP SAT MORNING. PRECIP WILL BE
VERY LIGHT AND SOME AREAS MAY REMAIN DRY...BUT THE CONCERN IS
POTENTIAL FOR LIGHT FREEZING DRIZZLE IN THE INTERIOR AS MOISTURE IS
SHALLOW WITH STRONG COLD AIR DAMMING SIGNAL LIKELY KEEPING TEMPS
BELOW FREEZING IN THE MORNING INTERIOR. ICE CRYSTAL GROWTH REGION
BRIEFLY MOISTENS AROUND 12Z SAT AND THERMAL PROFILE ALSO COLD ENOUGH
FOR BRIEF LIGHT SNOW/SLEET IN THE INTERIOR BUT NO ACCUM EXPECTED.
OTHERWISE...MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH MAXES MID 30S TO LOWER 40S.

SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...
STRONG LOW PRES WILL BE LIFTING NE ACROSS OH VALLEY AND GT LAKES
WHICH WILL RESULT IN A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET 60-70 KT DEVELOPING AND
MOVING ACROSS SNE SUNDAY. WIND AND PWAT ANOMALIES AROUND +2SD SO A
PERIOD OF HEAVY RAINFALL IS LIKELY. SYSTEM IS RATHER PROGRESSIVE
WHICH WILL FOCUS HEAVIEST RAIN IN A 6 HOUR PERIOD SUN MORNING INTO
THE AFTERNOON. THERE IS ALSO SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY WHICH MAY
LEAD TO HEAVY CONVECTIVE SHOWERS AND AN ISOLD TSTM. GEFS AND EPS
ENSEMBLES INDICATE FAIRLY HIGH PROBABILITY OF GREATER THAN AN INCH
QPF SO EXPECT 1-1.5 INCHES RAINFALL WITH ISOLD 2 INCH AMOUNTS
POSSIBLE.

STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BE A CONCERN ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN
AROUND MIDDAY OR AFTERNOON AS THE LOW LEVEL JET MOVES ACROSS THE
REGION. ALWAYS A TOUGH CALL WITH HOW MUCH WIND WILL MIX DOWN WITH
THESE SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JETS. HOWEVER...SOUNDINGS DO NOT SHOW A
STRONG INVERSION AND MODELS INDICATE STRONG PRESSURE FALLS SUNDAY
WHICH MAY LEAD TO SOME STRONG WIND GUSTS 40-50 MPH IN THE COASTAL
PLAIN...ESPECIALLY IN ANY CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS. HIGH PROBABILITY OF
TEMPS SOARING THROUGH THE 50S...ESPECIALLY S OF THE PIKE AND RECORD
TEMPS WILL LIKELY BE CHALLENGED.

MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
COLDER AIR RETURNS WITH NEAR SEASONABLE TEMPS EARLY NEXT WEEK ALONG
WITH BLUSTERY CONDITIONS. THE UNCERTAINTY IS AROUND THE MIDWEEK
PERIOD AS PRIMARY LOW ASSOCD WITH AMPLIFYING TROF MOVES ACROSS LAKES
WITH SECONDARY LOW PRES EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OFF THE COAST. CONSENSUS
OF THE GUIDANCE/ENSEMBLES FAVORS AN OFFSHORE DEVELOPMENT LIMITING
IMPACT TO SNE BUT THIS IS STILL FAR ENOUGH AWAY SO IT IS STILL
POSSIBLE STORM COULD DEVELOP/TRACK CLOSER TO SNE WITH MORE
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. EVEN IF STORM DEVELOPS TOO FAR OFFSHORE SOME
LIGHT SNOW IS POSSIBLE WITH MID LEVEL TROF PASSAGE AROUND MID
WEEK...THEN TURNING COLDER TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK WITH BELOW
NORMAL TEMPS.
