AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
346 PM EST MON JAN 11 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION TONIGHT AND MOVES EAST ON
TUESDAY. LOW PRESSURE FROM THE MIDWEST WILL BRING PRECIPITATION TO
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AS IT APPROACHES...THEN REDEVELOP OVER THE
GULF OF MAINE TUESDAY NIGHT AND MOVE OFF THROUGH THE MARITIMES.
STRONG WINDS BEHIND THE LOW WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY.
IT REMAINS COLD ON THURSDAY BUT TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE BY
FRIDAY WITH DRY WEATHER PREVAILING. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL
LIKELY AFFECT OUR REGION SOMETIME THIS WEEKEND. WHILE TIMING AND
PRECIPITATION TYPES REMAIN UNCERTAIN...ODDS CURRENTLY FAVOR MORE
RAIN THAN SNOW AT LEAST FOR THE COASTAL PLAIN.

&&

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

GUSTY WINDS IN THE EVENING WILL DIMINISH AS HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED
OVER THE SOUTHERN USA BUILDS OVER THE REGION. THIS WILL WEAKEN THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WHILE SUNSET SLOWS DOWN ANY MIXING. EXPECT CLEAR
SKIES WITH DIMINISHING WINDS THE FIRST PART OF THE NIGHT. HIGH
CLOUDS THEN INCREASE OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF THE NEXT SYSTEM.

MIN TEMPS UPSTREAM WERE IN THE TEENS LAST NIGHT. THAT SHOULD
SUFFICE FOR MOST OF OUR AREA...PERHAPS AROUND 20 ALONG THE SOUTH
COAST.

&&

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

HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES SUBSIDENCE AND DRY WEATHER FOR MOST OF
TUESDAY...BUT WITH INCREASING CLOUDS THROUGH THE DAY. MODEL
CONSENSUS BRINGS PRECIPITATION IN AFTER 18Z...THE NAM AND GFS
RIGHT AROUND 18Z AND THE ECMWF A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER. PRECIP
WILL BE ACROSS ALL OF OUR AREA BY 00Z WITH THE FRONT AND BACK EDGE
OF PRECIP APPROACHING FROM NEW YORK.

TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL SUPPORT 30S INLAND...ONSHORE WINDS FROM 45
DEGREE WATER WILL FURTHER SUPPORT LOWER 40S IN MUCH OF RI AND
SOUTHEAST MASS.

LIFT OF ABOUT 20 MB/HOUR INLAND AND 40 MB/HOUR ALONG THE MASS
EAST COAST. THIS ALONG WITH MODEST MOISTURE WILL BE ENOUGH
GENERATE MEASUREABLE PRECIP. THE GREATER LIFT ALONG THE EAST WILL
COME AS THE SYSTEM REDEVELOPS OVER TO THE GULF OF MAINE. THE
COLDER TEMPERATURE PROFILES INLAND SUGGEST MOST OR ALL
SNOW...WHILE THE COASTAL PLAIN IS WARM ENOUGH TO START AS RAIN BUT
THEN AS COLDER AIR IS DRAWN IN BY THE GULF OF MAINE LOW ANY RAIN
SHOULD CHANGE TO SNOW. SNOW CALCULATIONS YIELDED ROUGHLY AN
INCH...POSSIBLY 2 ALONG THE NH BORDER AND ESPECIALLY THE MERRIMACK
VALLEY.

THE LOW MOVES OFF TO THE EAST TUESDAY NIGHT. EXPECT THE SNOW TO
TAPER OFF. INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT AS THE LOW DEEPENS WILL
BRING INCREASING WIND TO OUR AREA CREATING COLD ADVECTION. THIS IN
TURN WILL DESTABILIZE THE AIRMASS AND MIX STRONG WINDS TO THE
SURFACE OVERNIGHT. WIND PROFILES SHOW 30-35 KNOT WINDS ALOFT INITIALLY
TUESDAY NIGHT...BUT THIS INCREASES TO AROUND 40 OR 45 KNOTS BY
WEDNESDAY MORNING.

&&

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

* VERY COLD/WINDY WEDNESDAY WITH A FEW PASSING FLURRIES POSSIBLE
* COLD THURSDAY BUT MODERATING SOME BY FRIDAY WITH DRY WEATHER
* STORM SYSTEM LIKELY SOMETIME THIS WEEKEND
* PTYPE FOR WEEKEND SYSTEM UNCERTAIN - BUT CURRENT GUIDANCE SUGGESTS
  MORE RAIN THAN SNOW FOR AT LEAST THE COASTAL PLAIN

DETAILS...

WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...

DEEP UPPER TROUGH OVER THE NORTHEAST WITH 850 MB TEMPERATURES OF
AROUND -16C WILL RESULT IN A VERY COLD DAY.  IN ADDITION...LOW
PRESSURE BOMBING OUT OVER THE CANADIAN MARITIMES WILL RESULT A
VERY STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT AND WINDY CONDITIONS.
GUSTS ON THE ORDER OF 35 TO 45 MPH WITH PERHAPS A FEW NEAR 50 MPH.
STRONGEST OF THOSE WINDS LIKELY ACROSS NORTHEAST MA.  A WIND
ADVISORY MAY EVENTUALLY BE NEEDED FOR AT LEAST A PORTION OF SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND. WHILE THERE IS SHORTWAVE ENERGY IN PLACE...LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE IS LACKING...SO THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE DAY WILL BE DRY IN
A GIVEN LOCATION.  NONETHELESS...VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES AND REMNANT
LAKE EFFECT MOISTURE...MAY RESULT IN A BRIEF PASSING FLURRIES/SNOW
SHOWERS ESPECIALLY IN OUR WESTERN ZONES.

HIGH TEMPS WED WILL BE IN THE 20S TO AROUND 30...BUT STRONG WIND
GUSTS WILL RESULT IN WIND CHILL VALUES IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE TEENS
MUCH OF THE DAY.  WINDS DIMINISH SOME WED NIGHT ALLOWING FOR LOW
TEMPS IN THE 5 TO 15 ABOVE RANGE.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...

WHILE IT WILL REMAIN COLD ON THURSDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE 20S TO THE
LOWER 30S...RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL RESULT IN DRY WEATHER AND
MUCH LESS WIND THAN WEDNESDAY. DIGGING SHORTWAVE ENERGY OVER THE
MIDWEST WILL ALLOW HEIGHT FIELDS TO RISE BY FRIDAY.  HIGHS SHOULD
REACH WELL UP INTO THE 30S TO PERHAPS BREAKING 40 IN SOME LOCATIONS
WITH DRY WEATHER CONTINUING.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...

PRETTY MUCH ALL THE GUIDANCE AND ENSEMBLES INDICATE THAT A STORM
SYSTEM WILL IMPACT OUR REGION THIS WEEKEND.  TIMING/PTYPE AND
STRENGTH OF THE SYSTEM ARE UNCERTAIN IN THIS TIME RANGE AS ENSEMBLE
DATA IS SHOWING A WIDE RANGE IN SOLUTIONS.  WHILE A SNOWSTORM
CERTAINLY CAN NOT BE RULED OUT AT THIS POINT...THERE ARE A FEW RED
FLAGS SHOWING UP THAT FAVORING MORE RAIN THAN SNOW...AT LEAST FOR
THE COASTAL PLAIN.  THE FIRST IS AN INITIAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT
LIFTS UP TOWARDS THE GREAT LAKES.  THIS WILL ALLOW WARMER AIR
PARTICULARLY IN THE MID LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE TO OVERSPREAD THE
REGION AHEAD OF A DEVELOPING COASTAL STORM. IN ADDITION...THERE IS
NO COLD HIGH PRESSURE IN EASTERN CANADA AS SECONDARY STRONGER LOW
PRESSURE LIKELY DEVELOPS SOMEWHERE NEAR THE COAST.

SO TO SUMMARIZE...GIVEN THAT THIS POTENTIAL SYSTEM IS STILL 5 TO 6
DAYS OUT A LOT CAN CHANGE IN REGARDS TO TRACK AND EXPECTED
PRECIPITATION TYPE.  THE PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH JUST ILLUSTRATES LATEST
TRENDS AND CURRENTLY THE MORE LIKELY SCENARIO.

INLAND AND RAIN ALONG THE COAST MOVES IN FROM THE WEST.

TUESDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE...ESPECIALLY WITH TREND. MVFR/IFR
EARLY IN THE NIGHT ESPECIALLY IN EASTERN MASS. EXPECT
LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS AROUND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...GENERALLY AN
INCH OR LESS WITH A FEW ISOLATED 2 INCH AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. CONDITIONS
IMPROVE TO VFR ALL AREAS DURING THE NIGHT. WEST WINDS WILL

DIMINISH TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH SEAS ON THE OUTER WATERS SHOULD
REMAIN ELEVATED AT 5 FEET OR HIGHER.

TUESDAY...MODERATE-HIGH CONFIDENCE. LINGERING 5 FOOT SEAS ON THE
OUTER WATERS WITH INCREASING WIND TOWARD LATE AFTERNOON. SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS SHOULD BE IN FORCE FOR SOME OF THE
WATERS BY LATE IN THE DAY. MIDWEST STORM WILL BRING RAIN TO THE
REGION TOWARD SUNSET...WITH REDUCED VSBYS POSSIBLE AT THAT TIME.

TUESDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE. THE MIDWEST STORM JUMPS TO THE
GULF OF MAINE EARLY AT NIGHT...THEN DEEPENS AS IT MOVES OFF
THROUGH THE MARITIMES. THIS WILL BRING INCREASING WEST WINDS WITH
SPEEDS REACHING GALE FORCE...POTENTIAL FOR 40 KNOTS AND POSSIBLY
45 KNOTS. THIS WILL ALSO BUILD SEAS TO 7 TO 10 FEET ON THE OUTER
AND EXPOSED WATERS. A GALE WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL WATERS IN
ADVANCE OF THIS UPCOMING EVENT.

OUTLOOK /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...

***STRONG GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS ON WEDNESDAY WITH A RISK FOR BRIEF
  STORM FORCE WIND GUSTS IN OUR NORTHERN WATERS***

WEDNESDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.  BOMBING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CANADIAN
MARITIMES COUPLED WITH STRONG COLD ADVECTION WILL YIELD NORTHWEST
WIND GUST OF 35 TO 45 KNOTS.  GALE WARNINGS ARE BASICALLY A LOCK AND
THERE IS A LOW TO MODERATE RISK THAT WILL NEED A BRIEF STORM
WARNINGS ACROSS OUR NORTHERN WATERS FOR GUSTS NEAR 50 KNOTS.

THURSDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.  PRESSURE GRADIENT WEAKENS
SOME BUT COLD ADVECTION OVER THE WATERS WILL RESULT IN 20 TO 30 KNOT
WIND GUSTS.  SMALL CRAFT HEADLINES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR MOST

FRIDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.  RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IN
PLACE SHOULD KEEP WINDS/SEAS BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS.
