AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1245 PM EST THU FEB 4 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TODAY BRINGING
SOME LIGHT PRECIP TO THE REGION. THIS FRONT WILL STALL JUST OFF THE
COAST THIS AFTERNOON...THEN LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE MID
ATLC COAST THU NIGHT AND TRACK ALONG THE FRONT PASSING SOUTH AND
EAST OF NANTUCKET FRIDAY. THIS STORM WILL LIKELY BRING ACCUMULATING
SNOW TO SOUTHEAST NEW ENG LATE THU NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE BRINGS DRY WEATHER OVER THE WEEKEND...ALTHOUGH A WEAK
COLD FRONT SUNDAY MAY BRING A FEW CLOUD. A COMPLEX COASTAL STORM
SHOULD AFFECT THE REGION LATER MONDAY INTO TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1 PM UPDATE...
HAVE EXPANDED WATCH TO INCLUDE METRO-WEST BOSTON AND THE REMAINDER
OF RI AND NE CT. THIS IS DUE TO RECENT TREND SHIFTING QPF AXIS
FURTHER W AND SUGGESTING A SLIGHTLY FASTER DROP IN TEMPS ALOFT
SUPPORTING A CHANGE TO SNOW. MORE ADJUSTMENTS TO COME...BUT
EXPANSION EARLY DEEMED NECESSARY.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
WEAK 850 MB TROUGH WILL MOVE THE FRONT THROUGH THE AREA BETWEEN 12-
18Z. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A FEW SCT SHOWERS TO DEVELOP. STRONG CAA
WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION AS 850 MB TEMPS DROP SEVERAL DEGREES
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THEREFOR ANTICIPATE MAX TEMPS TO OCCUR THIS
MORNING.

THIS COLD FRONT WILL STALL JUST OFFSHORE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS
NORTHERN ATLANTIC RIDGE BUILDS. THIS FRONT WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR
PRECIP DURING THE EVENING HOURS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW...

*** WINTER STORM WATCH ISSUED FOR FAR SE MASS...SOUTH AND EASTERN
 RHODE ISLAND...CAPE COD AND MARTHAS VINEYARD ***

OVERVIEW...

COLD FRONT STALLED OFF THE COAST WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR PRECIPITATION
TONIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW. VERY SHARP MID LEVEL TROUGH WILL APPROACH
FROM THE WEST TONIGHT...AND WITH POTENT SHORTWAVE ROUNDING THE
TROUGH A SURFACE LOW WILL DEVELOP OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST. THIS
LOW WILL MOVE ALONG THE STALL COLD FRONT PUSHING THE PRECIP SHIELD
BACK TOWARDS THE REGION TONIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW.

UNCERTAINTY...

STILL UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS SYSTEM AS MODELS CONTINUE TO PUSH THE
PRECIP SHIELD FARTHER WEST WITH EACH RUN. HOWEVER SOME HI-RES
GUIDANCE DOES SHOW A EXTREME CUT-OFF IN QPF KEEPING THE WESTERN HALF
OF THE REGION PRECIP FREE. ASIDE FROM QPF...THERE IS SOME QUESTION
ON WHEN RAIN WILL SWITCH OVER TO SNOW LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING. HOWEVER GUIDANCE DOES HINT THAT IT WILL BE BETWEEN
06-09Z. THIS IS IN LINE WHEN 925 MB TEMPS QUICKLY COOL BELOW 0C AS
WINDS BECOME MORE IN A NORTHERLY DIRECTION. FINALLY SNOWFALL AMOUNTS
ARE IN QUESTION AS THE LATEST EC AND 18Z NAM ARE ON THE HIGH SIDE
SHOWING LOCATIONS ACROSS RI AND SE MASS REACHING BETWEEN 7-10
INCHES. AT THIS TIME...HAVE A HIGHER CONFIDENCE FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW
ACCUMULATION FOR THE COASTAL PLAIN AND LOCATIONS NEAR THE CANAL.
LESS CONFIDENCE ON THE NORTHWEST PORTION OF THE SNOW SHIELD AS
WELL AS LONG THE OUTER CAPE AND NANTUCKET.

QPF...

THERE APPEARS TO BE 2 DIFFERENT CAMPS IN TERMS OF QPF. THE
UKMET/EC/NAM IS ONE BRINGING SIGNIFICANT QPF AND THUS SNOW INTO
SOUTHEAST COASTAL PLAIN AND ACROSS SOUTHERN RHODE ISLAND. WHILE THE
NMM AND ARW ARE ON THE OPPOSITE...KEEPING THE HEAVIEST QPF OVER THE
CAPE AND IMMEDIATE PORTION OF SE MASS WITH AN EXTREME CUTOFF NORTH
OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR. THE GFS APPEARS TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
ROAD ALONG WITH THE EPS. USED A BLEND OF THE GUIDANCE WITH AN
EMPHASIS ON WPC QPF TO GET A TREND...WHICH SHOWS THAT THE 00Z
GUIDANCE HAS SHIFTED WESTWARD.

SNOWFALL...

DECIDED TO EXPAND THE THE WATCH DUE TO THE WESTWARD SHIFT WITH THE
GUIDANCE. HIGHEST CONFIDENCE OF 6 INCHES IS NEAR THE CAPE COD CANAL
AS WELL AS INTERIOR BRISTOL...PLYMOUTH AND WASHINGTON COUNTY RHODE
ISLAND. SNOW COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES VERY LATE TONIGHT INTO FRI
MORNING WHICH MAY AFFECT THE MORNING COMMUTE. THANKS TO STRONG OMEGA
LIFT WITHIN THE SNOW GROWTH REGION AS WELL AS F-GEN AS NOTED AT THE
600MB LEVEL. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS ALSO SHOW SNOW ACCUMULATIONS YIELDING
CLOSE TO 1 INCH PER HOUR...REDUCING VSBYS FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE.
LOCATIONS ACROSS NANTUCKET AND THE OUTER CAPE WILL SEE LESS SNOWFALL
DUE TO LATER TIMING OF CHANGEOVER AND MARGINAL BOUNDARY LAYER WHICH
WILL LEAD TO SOME MELTING.

AGAIN WITH THE SHARP QPF GRADIENT ON THE NW FRINGE OF THE PRECIP
SHIELD THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A BUST. AS THE PREV FORECASTER
MENTIONED...IF THE SYSTEM TRACKS EASTWARD THEN ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE
LESS. WHILE IF THE SYSTEM TRACKS FARTHER WEST...THEN HEAVY SNOW
COULD EXTEND BACK WESTWARD...WHICH IS WHAT THE LATEST TRENDS HAVE
SHOWN. RECOMMEND USERS TO LOOK AT THE PROBABILISTIC SNOWFALL MAPS
AND BEST/WORST CASE SCENARIOS WHICH COMMUNICATE THE EXPECTED
SNOWFALL RANGES.

IMPACTS...

THIS WILL BE A WET SNOW AND IF HEAVY SNOW MATERIALIZES THERE WILL BE
POTENTIAL FOR POWER OUTAGES DUE TO ACCUMULATION ON TREES AND POWER
LINES.

SNOWFALL WILL BEGIN TO WANE BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS AS THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES TOWARDS THE MARITIMES.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
BIG PICTURE...

LONGWAVE SCALE PATTERN SHOWS DIGGING TROUGH EAST AND BUILDING RIDGE
WEST. THIS POINTS TO COLDER AND MORE UNSETTLED WEATHER OVER THE
WEEKEND AND FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK. SEVERAL SHORTWAVES MOVE
THROUGH THE EASTERN TROUGH WITH CONTINUED VARIATIONS BETWEEN
MODELS ESPECIALLY ON POSITIONS AND EFFECTS.

TWO KEY SHORTWAVES ARE EITHER OVER THE PACIFIC OR JUST MOVING ASHORE
OVER THE WESTERN USA AND ITS DENSER OBSERVATION NETWORK. THEREFORE
CHANGEABLE RUN-RUN DIFFERENCES IN THE MODELS ARE TO BE EXPECTED.
CONFIDENCE FOR THE EVOLVING WEATHER FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK REMAINS LOW.

THE DAILIES...

FRIDAY NIGHT-SATURDAY... HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION.
EXPECT DRY WEATHER WITH CLEAR SKIES FRIDAY NIGHT AND INCREASING MID
AND HIGH CLOUDS SATURDAY. OBSERVED TEMPS UPSTREAM UNDER THE RIDGE
SUGGEST MIN TEMPS HERE IN THE 20S. MIXING SHOULD REACH A LITTLE
ABOVE 900 MB...WITH TEMPS AT THE TOP OF THE LAYER SUPPORTING MAX SFC
TEMPS IN THE LOWER 40S.

SUNDAY... NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE SWEEPS SOUTH AND EAST FROM
CENTRAL CANADA TO QUEBEC AND NEW ENGLAND. THIS DRIVES A COLD FRONT
THROUGH OUR AREA EARLY SUNDAY. MOISTURE FIELDS ARE MORE ROBUST IN
NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND AS IS THE DYNAMICS. EXPECT SOME SKY COVER LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT AND PART OF SUNDAY BUT AT BEST SOME WIDELY SCATTERED
MORNING SNOW SHOWERS. MODEL GUIDANCE BRINGS MAX SFC TEMPS INTO
THE 40S. BUT AFTERNOON MIXING SUGGESTS HIGHS IN THE MID AND UPPER
30S. WILL NUDGE MODEL FORECAST DOWN 1-2 DEGREES.

MONDAY-TUESDAY... SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE STARTS TODAY OVER THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND CROSSES TO THE SOUTHEAST USA...FORMING A
CLOSED UPPER LOW ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST SUNDAY.  THE LOW THEN
PASSES WELL OFFSHORE OF NANTUCKET ON MONDAY. MODEL SOLUTIONS FOR THE
UPPER LOW DIVERGE BY SUNDAY WITH THE ECMWF FARTHEST WEST AND CLOSEST
TO THE ATLANTIC COAST. IN MOST CASES THE CLOUDS AND PCPN STAY WELL
OFFSHORE. BUT THE ECMWF IS CLOSE ENOUGH AND BRINGS ENOUGH OF AN EAST
FLOW TO BRING MEASURABLE PCPN TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. AS IT IS
THE OUTLIER SOLUTION WE WOULD TEND TO DISCOUNT IT. BUT WITH
DIGGING TROUGH OVER THE MIDWEST/APPALACHIANS AND BENDING OF THE
FLOW MORE UP THE COAST...A MORE WESTERN TRACK IS IN THE REALM OF
POSSIBILITY. THIS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED. WE WILL BRING SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND MONDAY AND VERY-LOW-END CHANCE
POPS TO CAPE COD AND ISLANDS.

THE NEXT SHORTWAVE STARTS SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS THIS MORNING AND
MOVES ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FRIDAY NIGHT TO THE WESTERN LAKES
SUNDAY. IT THEN DIGS AND CARVES A DEEP TROUGH/CLOSED LOW OVER THE
EASTERN USA WITH A SOUTH-TO-NORTH FLOW OVER THE EASTERN USA BY
MONDAY EVENING. AT THIS TIME THE BEST CHANCE FOR PCPN LOOKS TO BE
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES BEHIND SUNDAY/S FRONT AND
WITH THE DIGGING UPPER TROUGH SUGGEST MAINLY SNOW. UNCERTAINTIES IN
THE EVOLUTION AND TRACK OF THE SURFACE SYSTEM LEAVE THE CHANCE OF
A CHANGE TO RAIN IN THE COASTAL PLAIN TUESDAY.

WEDNESDAY... YET ANOTHER SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH THE TROUGH AND
KICKS IT NORTHEAST THROUGH NEW ENGLAND INTO THE MARITIMES. THIS
SHOULD BRING DRYING AND IMPROVING SKIES BUT WITH LINGERING WIDELY
SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS AS THE COLD POOL SWINGS OVERHEAD.

.AVIATION /17Z 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/...

THROUGH 06Z...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
MAINLY VFR...ESPECIALLY ONCE HYA/ACK CLEAR OUT LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. EXPECT GRADUAL SPREAD OF ANOTHER SHIELD OF RAIN FROM S
TO N MAINLY AFTER 00Z.

LATE TONIGHT INTO 18Z TOMORROW...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
THE RAIN SHIELD CONTINUES TO EXPAND NORTHWEST...COVERING MOST OF
SRN NEW ENGLAND BY ABOUT 10-12Z. THIS WILL ALSO BRING ABOUT
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS DUE TO LOW CIGS/VSBYS. THEN...AFTER 09Z
ESPECIALLY THE RAIN WILL CHANGE TO SNOW FROM NW-SE UNTIL IT/S ALL
SNOW AWAY FROM THE ISLANDS BY ABOUT 15Z. SOME ACCUMULATION IS
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ON GRASSY SFCS. HOWEVER RUNWAYS MAY RECEIVE
A PLOWABLE AMOUNT MAINLY E OF AN IJD-ORH-BVY LINE. THIS WILL BE
ACCOMPANIED BY MAINLY IFR CONDITIONS.

AFTER 18Z TOMORROW...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
SNOWS/RAIN COME TO AN END AND VERY QUICK IMPROVEMENT TO VFR
EXPECTED.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TRENDS...LOWER CONFIDENCE IN
TIMING OF PRECIP AND CHANGE TO SNOW LATE TONIGHT/TOMORROW MORNING.

KBDL TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN
PRECIP TIMING.

OUTLOOK /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...

FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.  VFR.

MONDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE. POTENTIAL FOR MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN DEVELOPING
LIGHT RAIN/SNOW LATE IN THE DAY.

HAVE DROPPED GALE WARNING FOR ALL THE WATERS AND CONVERTED THEM TO
SCA. COLD FRONT WILL MOVE OVER THE WATERS TODAY AND STALL OUT.
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT THURSDAY NIGHT
INTO FRIDAY BRINGING PRECIP AND PERHAPS SNOW OVER THE WATERS.
VSBYS MAY BE REDUCED AS WELL. GUSTS WILL INCREASE CLOSE TO 25-30
KTS SO EXPECT SCA TO EXPAND THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY.

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

FRIDAY NIGHT...LOW PRESSURE MOVES OFF ACROSS NOVA SCOTIA AND HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN.  NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTING TO 25 KNOTS WILL
DIMINISH OVERNIGHT. SEAS 5 TO 9 FEET WILL ALSO DIMINISH. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY WILL BE NEEDED FOR AT LEAST THE OUTER WATERS.

SATURDAY-SUNDAY...SOUTHWEST WINDS SATURDAY BECOME NORTHWEST SUNDAY
AS A COLD FRONT SWINGS ACROSS THE WATERS. A FEW GUSTS TO 25 KNOTS
ARE POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY EAST OF CAPE ANN. SEAS 5 TO 6 FEET MAINLY ON
THE OUTER WATERS. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED ON THE OUTER
WATERS.

SUNDAY NIGHT-MONDAY...NORTH WINDS TURNING NORTHEAST AND INCREASING
WITH GUSTS TO AT LEAST 30 KNOTS. SEAS WILL SUBSIDE BELOW 5 FEET
INITIALLY...BUT THEN INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH AGAIN MONDAY NIGHT.
