AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
656 AM EST THU JAN 21 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
DRY BUT COLD WEATHER CONTINUES THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. INTENSIFYING
LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST SATURDAY AND THEN
TRACK SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY.  THIS STORM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
BRING MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW ACROSS CT/RI AND SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE
ALONG WITH STRONG WINDS AND COASTAL FLOODING LATE SAT INTO THE FIRST
HALF OF SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO MODERATE EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

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

7 AM UPDATE ...

NO MAJOR CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST. CLOUDS FROM MID LEVEL
TROUGH OVERNIGHT NOW EXITING THE SOUTH COAST AND WILL BE OFFSHORE
SHORTLY. THUS MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS TODAY BUT WILL BE OFFSET BY
A BLUSTERY NNW WIND. HIGHS ONLY IN THE U20S AND L30S WITH M20S
HIGHER TERRAIN...A FEW DEGS COLDER THAN NORMAL. EARLIER DISCUSSION
BELOW.

==================================================================

HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER THE GREAT LAKES.  A DECENT PRESSURE
GRADIENT EXISTS BETWEEN LOW PRESSURE OFF OF ATLANTIC CANADA AND THE
HIGH PRESSURE IN THE GREAT LAKES.  THIS COUPLED WITH 925MB WINDS UP
TO AROUND 35 KTS AND DECENT MIXING WILL RESULT IN ANOTHER DAY OF
GUSTY WINDS.  GUSTS WILL MOSTLY BE IN THE 15 TO 25 MPH RANGE WITH
PERHAPS A FEW UP TO 30 MPH.  TEMPERATURES WILL BE SIMILAR TO
WEDNESDAYS WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 20S TO LOWER 30S WITH WIND CHILLS
IN THE TEENS TO LOWER 20S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
TONIGHT...MAIN CONCERN WILL BE WHETHER RADIATIONAL COOLING IS ABLE
TO BE OPTIMIZED.  LOW PRESSURE OFF OF ATLANTIC CANADA WILL PULL
FURTHER EAST...ALLOWING HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD MORE INTO SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND AND ALLOWING THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TO RELAX SOME. WHILE
WINDS WILL BE ABLE TO RELAX A BIT IN RESPONSE TO THIS...AT THIS
POINT IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE WINDS WILL BE ABLE TO FULLY DECOUPLE
EXCEPT IN PERHAPS THE MORE SHELTERED VALLEYS.  THEREFORE...AM
EXPECTING LOWS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS IN THOSE SHELTERED VALLEYS WITH
TEENS EXPECTED ELSEWHERE.  IF WINDS ARE ABLE TO DECOUPLE...EXPECT
OVERNIGHT LOWS TO DROP A FEW MORE DEGREES.

FRIDAY...ONE MORE DAY OF SUNNY SKIES AND QUIET WEATHER EXPECTED AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS FURTHER EAST.  HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE A
COUPLE OF DEGREES COOLER THAN TODAY...BUT WINDS WILL NOT BE NEARLY
AS GUSTY AS THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS WITH AN ABSENCE OF A LOW LEVEL
JET.  THEREFORE...IT WILL ACTUALLY FEEL A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN IT
HAS OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS.

&&

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

* MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW REMAINS POSSIBLE LATE SAT INTO EARLY SUN
  ACROSS CT/RI AND SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE W/GREATEST RISK SOUTH COAST
* STRONG WINDS AND COASTAL FLOODING EASTERN MA SAT NIGHT/SUN MORNING

FRIDAY NIGHT ...

MODEL TRENDS CONTINUE TO HOLD OFF ANY PRECIP UNTIL SOMETIME SAT
MORNING OR AFTERNOON. THUS DRY WEATHER PREVAILS FRI NIGHT. IT WILL
BE COLD AS 1030 MB SURFACE HIGH SLIDES ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES INTO ONTARIO AND QUEBEC.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ...

MODEL TRENDS AND PREFERENCES...

00Z DETERMINISTIC AND ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE HAVE WOBBLED A BIT /AS
EXPECTED AT THIS TIME RANGE/ FROM PREVIOUS RUNS WITH THE 00Z GFS A
BIT FARTHER NORTH WITH ITS QPF SHIELD AND THE 00Z ECMWF A BIT
FARTHER SOUTH. THE NAM IS THE HEAVIEST AND FARTHEST NORTH. HOWEVER
THE NAM LOOKS TO BE SUFFERING FROM SOME CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK WITH A
LARGE SWATH OF 3+ INCHES OF QPF ACROSS NJ/NYC AND LONG ISLAND. AS
FOR THE GEFS ENSEMBLES ABOUT A 1/3 OF THE MEMBERS SUPPORT THE
OPERATIONAL RUN WITH NORTHERN EDGE OF THE 0.25 INCH QPF CONTOUR
ALONG A LINE FROM BAF-ORH-BVY RAMPING UP TO 0.50 INCH FROM PVD-GHG
TO 1-2 INCHES OVER CAPE AND ISLANDS. THE REMAINING 2/3 OF THE GEFS
MEMBERS CONFINE ACCUMULATING SNOWS TO JUST THE IMMEDIATE SOUTH COAST
WITH LITTLE IF ANY QPF NORTHWARD. THE 00Z ECMWF HAS TRENDED SLIGHTLY
SOUTH WITH ONLY 0.10 QPF FROM BOS-BDL...0.25 FROM CENTRAL CT-PVD-PYM
AND 0.50-0.75 IMMEDIATE SOUTH COAST INCLUDING CAPE COD AND THE
ISLANDS. INTERESTINGLY THE 00Z EPS IS BIT HEAVIER AND FARTHER NORTH
WITH RISK OF 6+ INCHES OF SNOW FROM PVD-PYM. THE SHARPER GRADIENT IN
THE OP EC RUN IS PROBABLY PARTIALLY DUE TO THE HIGHER RESOLUTION.
GIVEN ALL MODEL GUIDANCE PLACES THIS SHARP QPF GRADIENT ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND GIVEN THE EVENT IS STILL 72-84HRS ALONG
WITH MODEL ERROR AT THIS RANGE...WILL CONTINUE WITH A MODEL BLEND
FOR QPF/SNOWFALL.

KEY SYNOPTIC FEATURES AND UNCERTAINTY...

KEY SYNOPTIC FEATURES WITH THIS STORM WILL BE THE BATTLE GROUND
BETWEEN THE CONFLUENT ZONE JUST NORTH OF THE REGION AND THE LARGE
INTENSE MID LEVEL LOW TRACKING SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND. THE CONFLUENT
ZONE WILL PROVIDE STRONG SUBSIDENCE AND ASSOCIATED DRY AIR ACROSS
CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND...RESULTING IN A VERY SHARP CUTOFF
IN SNOW TOTALS OVER OUR AREA FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. HOW MUCH SHORT
WAVE RIDGING THIS MID LEVEL LOW CAN GENERATE IMMEDIATELY DOWNSTREAM
WILL DETERMINE HOW FAR NORTH CONFLUENT ZONE SHIFTS. OTHER
COMPLICATING ISSUE WITH THIS STORM IS THAT THE MID LEVEL LOW IS NOT
A TIGHT COMPACT CIRCULATION. ITS VERY LARGE AND BROAD WHICH WILL
ALLOW THE WARM CONVEYOR BELT PRECIP TO WRAP CYCLONICALLY /TROWAL-
COMMAHEAD/ VERY FAR TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE MID LEVEL
CIRCULATION. AS MENTIONED ABOVE KEEP IN MIND THE AVG MODEL TRACK
ERROR AT THIS TIME RANGE /72-84HRS/ IS ON THE ORDER OF 125 MILES PER
WPC. THIS COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAVY SNOW REMAINING
OFFSHORE OR ACROSS THE DENSELY POPULATED I-95 CORRIDOR OF CT/RI AND
MA. AS HAS BEEN THE CASE IN PAST STORMS /EX. 10 FEB 2010/ MODELS MAY
NOT CORRECTLY SIMULATE THE PLACEMENT OF THIS VERY TIGHT QPF GRADIENT
UNTIL 12 HRS OR LESS BEFORE THE STORM ARRIVES. THUS NEED TO LET THE
MODELS RUN THEIR COURSE AND WAIT FOR A BETTER CONSENSUS. THUS A
MODEL BLEND IS STILL OUR FRIEND. HENCE OUR SNOW FORECAST IS BASED ON
A MODEL BLEND.

PRELIMINARY SNOWFALL...

GIVEN THE MODEL SPREAD/UNCERTAINTY AND TIME RANGE THIS IS GREAT
EVENT TO PUT MORE EMPHASIS ON OUR PROBABILISTIC SNOW FORECASTS RATHER
THAN DETERMINISTIC GRAPHICS. GREATEST RISK FOR 6+ INCHES WILL BE
ALONG THE IMMEDIATE SOUTH COAST OF MA AND RI. SNOW TOTALS WILL
LIKELY DIMINISH RAPIDLY NORTHWARD WITH LITTLE IF ANY SNOW POSSIBLE
NORTH OF THE MA PIKE AND ESPECIALLY TOWARD THE NH BORDER. ALSO A MIX
OF SLEET AND RAIN IS POSSIBLE AT TIMES FOR THE OUTER CAPE AND
NANTUCKET.

FOR ALL OF OUR SNOW GRAPHICS VISIT OUR WINTER WEATHER PAGE AT
WWW.WEATHER.GOV/BOX/WINTER

STRONG WINDS...

STRONGEST NE WINDS OCCUR SAT NIGHT INTO SUN MORNING ACROSS CAPE COD
AND THE ISLANDS WHERE WIND GUSTS UP TO 50 POSSIBLE WITH A LOW RISK
OF A FEW 60 MPH GUSTS. THIS MAY RESULT IN DOWN TREE LIMBS AND
ISOLATED POWER OUTAGES.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS ...

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

SHORT TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

7 AM UPDATE ...

NO MAJOR CHANGES FROM 06Z AND 09Z TAFS. EARLIER DISCUSSION BELOW.

===================================================================

HIGH CONFIDENCE.  VFR.  ALONG THE EAST COAST...NW WINDS GUST UP TO
25 KTS TODAY.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

KBDL TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

OUTLOOK /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...MODERATE CONFIDENCE

FRIDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR.

SATURDAY-SUNDAY...LOW-MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

CIGS AND VSBYS LOWERING THROUGH SATURDAY WITH IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS IN
SNOW SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY. BEST CHANCE FOR THIS
WILL BE OVER NORTHEAST CT/ALL OF RI/SOUTHEAST MASS. MVFR ACROSS
NORTHWEST MASS.  NORTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE THROUGH SATURDAY WITH
POTENTIAL FOR 45 TO 50 KNOTS OVER CAPE COD AND ISLANDS. CONDITIONS
SHOULD IMPROVE FROM WEST TO EAST DURING SUNDAY.

MONDAY...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.

VFR. WINDS BECOMING LIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

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

THROUGH FRIDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

NORTHWESTERLY WINDS AND SEAS GRADUALLY DIMINISH AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS EASTWARD FROM THE MIDWEST.  SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE IN
PLACE FOR MOST OF THE COASTAL WATERS FOR EITHER WINDS...SEAS...OR
BOTH. POCKETS OF FREEZING SPRAY ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH TONIGHT.

OUTLOOK /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...MODERATE CONFIDENCE...

FRIDAY...WINDS SHIFTING FROM NORTHWEST TO NORTHEAST.

SATURDAY-SUNDAY...STRONG LOW PRES EXITS THE MID ATLC COAST AND THEN
TRACKS NEAR OR JUST SE OF THE 40N/70W BENCHMARK. STRONGEST WINDS
OCCUR SAT NIGHT INTO SUN MORNING WHEN NE GALES WILL IMPACT THE
WATERS. LOW RISK FOR A FEW STORM FORCE GUSTS. VERY LARGE SEAS GIVEN
THE LONG ENE FETCH WITH SEAS 15 TO 25 FT SOUTH AND EAST OF NANTUCKET
OCEAN WATERS.

MONDAY...WINDS BELOW 25 KNOTS. SEAS DIMINISHING BUT BETWEEN 5 AND 7
FEET ESPECIALLY ON THE OUTER WATERS.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
BOSTON SUNDAY MORNING HIGH TIDE AT 1112 AM WILL BE AT 10.92 FEET.
SEAS OFF CAPE COD AT THAT TIME ARE FORECAST AT 15-20 FEET. GIVEN THE
CURRENT FORECAST TRACK OF THE STORM WE ARE ESTIMATING A SURGE OF 2
TO 2.5 FT. THIS SURGE COUPLED WITH LARGE WAVE ACTION WILL LIKELY
YIELD WIDESPREAD MINOR COASTAL FLOODING WITH A LOW RISK FOR MODERATE
FLOODING. HIGHEST RISK AREA APPEARS TO BE SOUTH OF BOSTON THRU
COASTAL PLYMOUTH COUNTY TO THE UPPER CAPE /SANDWICH AREA/. THIS ALSO
INCLUDES NANTUCKET.

SURPRISINGLY THE ETSS SURGE WAS HIGHER THAN THE ESTOFS GUIDANCE AND
WAS THE PREFERRED CHOICE. HOWEVER STILL HAD TO INCREASE THE ETSS TO
OBTAIN A 2-2.5 FT SURGE ACROSS EASTERN MA.

REGARDING EROSION...GIVEN DURATION OF THE STORM WILL IMPACT MULTIPLE
TIDE CYCLES AND MAGNITUDE OF WAVE ACTION...EXPECTING WIDESPREAD
MINOR TO MODERATE EROSION WITH A LOW RISK OF MORE SEVERE EROSION
SANDWICH/DENNIS/OUTER CAPE AND EAST SIDE OF NANTUCKET IF STRONGER
WIND FIELD DRIFTS NORTHWARD.

&&

.BOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
