AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
232 PM EST WED MAR 2 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES OUT OF NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND INTO THE
MARITIMES THIS AFTERNOON...ITS TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL PUSH OFF
THE COAST. COLDER AIR AND BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES WILL FOLLOW
INTO THE END OF THE WEEK. A COASTAL STORM WILL LIKELY IMPACT
PORTIONS OF THE REGION WITH SOME SNOW THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY
NIGHT...AND IT IS POSSIBLE MORE SIGNIFICANT SNOW COULD AFFECT
CAPE/ISLANDS DEPENDING ON THE TRACK OF THIS STORM. A WARMING TREND
IS LIKELY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

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

2 PM UPDATE...

LAST OF THE SHOWERS HAVE MOVED OFFSHORE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON PER
LATEST NE REGIONAL 88D RADAR. MORE CLOUDS HAVE MOVED NE INTO
CENTRAL AND EASTERN AREAS...LIKELY AN H5 SHORT WAVE WRAPPING NE AS
THE TROUGH AXIS SHIFTS NE.

GUSTY W-NW WINDS HAVE KICKED UP WITH STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION
WORKING INTO THE REGION AS THE FRONT EXITS OFFSHORE. NOTING GUSTS
UP AROUND 35 KT ACROSS THE HIGHER INLAND TERRAIN AS WELL AS
PORTIONS OF THE CT VALLEY. RECEIVED A FEW REPORTS OF ISOLD DAMAGE
IN THAT AREA...LOCAL STORM REPORTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. KEPT WIND
ADVISORY GOING FOR THE E SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES AND REISSUED
SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION FOR THE
POTENTIAL OF ISOLD HIGHER GUSTS.

TEMPS HAVE BEEN FALLING STEADILY AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...AND
THE DEWPTS HAVE DROPPED TO THE TEENS WELL INLAND AND 20S ACROSS E
MA/RI THROUGH LINGERING IN THE 30S ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE
ISLANDS. WITH THE DEWPT DROPS...LOOKS LIKE THE THREAT FOR A FLASH
FREEZE HAS DIMINISHED. COULD SEE SOME SPOTTY ICY PATCHES MAINLY
WHERE PUDDLES HAVE FROZEN UP WELL INLAND THIS AFTERNOON.

HAVE UPDATED FORECAST TO BRING CONDITIONS CURRENT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
TONIGHT...

W WINDS REMAIN BREEZY BUT GRADUALLY RELAX ALONG WITH THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT AS INFLUENTIAL HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE N AND W.
COLD AIR ADVECTION CONTINUING. CHILLY NIGHT ESPECIALLY FACTORING IN
WIND CHILLS. LOOKING AT LOWS IN THE TEENS BUT WIND CHILL VALUES IN
THE SINGLE DIGITS WITH BELOW-ZERO VALUES ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN.

THURSDAY...

HIGH PRESSURE. QUIET WEATHER. CONTINUED LIGHT W FLOW BENEATH A
CHILLY ARCTIC AIRMASS ALONG. BUT CONSIDERING ABUNDANT SUNSHINE OF AN
EARLY MARCH SUN UPON BARE GROUND...WILL NUDGE HIGHS A DEGREE OR TWO
WARMER THAN CONSENSUS...A TREND THAT HAS BEEN APPARENT MUCH OF THIS
WINTER. HIGHS AROUND THE FREEZING MARK.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED ACROSS SNE LATE THU NIGHT/FRI
* MORE SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL POSSIBLE CAPE/ISLANDS DEPENDING ON TRACK
  OF STORM
* BELOW NORMAL TEMPS THIS WEEKEND...THEN WARMING TREND THROUGH
  MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK

OVERVIEW...
02/00Z GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO HAVE SOME ISSUES REGARDING THE TRACK
OF A COASTAL STORM MOVING OFFSHORE FROM THE MID ATLANTIC STATES
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. THE LATEST GFS SOLUTION IS ALONG THE
NORTHERN EDGE OF THE DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE ENVELOPE...BUT IS
PRETTY SPOT ON WITH THE GEFS ENSEMBLE MEAN. ONLY SAW A HANDFUL OF
GEFS MEMBERS WITH A SOLUTION FARTHER NORTH. WHILE THE MAJORITY OF
THE DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE SUITE FAVORS A STORM TRACK WELL TO OUR
SOUTH...CANNOT COMPLETELY SHUT THE DOOR ON A MORE NORTHWARD SHIFT.
EVEN THE CANADIAN...WHICH WAS THE FARTHEST NORTH THIS TIME
YESTERDAY...AS TAKEN A MORE SOUTHERN TRACK...IN LINE WITH THE
REST OF THE GUIDANCE.

WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR THE MORE SOUTHERLY CONSENSUS TRACK FOR THIS
FORECAST. EXPECTING THE ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS STORM TO BE
BETTER SAMPLED. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN A NARROWER GUIDANCE
ENVELOPE...AND GREATER CONFIDENCE...WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
ANTICIPATING MORE OF A GLANCING BLOW WITH SOME LIGHT SNOW.

BEYOND THIS WEEKEND...THERE IS A NOTABLE PATTERN SHIFT NEXT WEEK
WITH UPPER TROF MOVING INTO THE WESTERN CONUS AND RIDGE BUILDING
NORTH ALONG THE EAST COAST. THIS WILL RESULT IN A POTENTIALLY
SIGNIFICANT WARMING TREND THROUGH MIDWEEK. THERE REMAINS A
CONCERN FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF BACK-DOOR COLD FRONTS AND SEA-
BREEZES. TEMPERATURE FORECASTS WILL BE TRICKY NEXT WEEK.

DETAILS...

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...
CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING FOR A MINOR IMPACT PRECIPITATION-WISE
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS...WITH THE
GREATEST RISK TOWARD THE SOUTH COAST OF MA. STRONG NORTH WINDS
DEVELOP LATE FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT AS THIS STORM MAKES ITS
CLOSEST APPROACH. MAY NEED A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE CAPE AND
ISLANDS. STILL MONITORING THE DETAILS FOR CHANGES TO THIS
THINKING.

TIDES ARE RATHER LOW AND TIMING OF STRONGER WINDS/SURGE WITH HIGH
TIDE NOT FAVORABLE SO COASTAL FLOOD THREAT IS LOW AT THIS TIME.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...
LOOKS COLD AND DRY SATURDAY...THEN ANOTHER SHORTWAVE PASSAGE MAY
BRING A FEW SNOW SHOWERS SUNDAY. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THESE
DETAILS AS WELL. RIGHT NOW...NOT EXPECTING MUCH SNOW ACCUMULATION.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...
MAINLY DRY DURING THIS PERIOD. CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW SHOWERS AS
WARM ADVECTION GET UNDERWAY. MOISTURE LOOKS TO BE THE LIMITING
FACTOR. OTHERWISE...A WARMING TREND IS LIKELY. HOWEVER...WE WILL
BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO BACKDOOR OR SEABREEZE FRONTS. THUS THE
COASTLINES MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY COLDER.

&&
