AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
200 PM EST THU JAN 21 2016

.SYNOPSIS...

*** FORECAST DISCUSSION ONLY INCLUDES UPDATES OUT THROUGH SATURDAY
 MORNING ***

DRY AND 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 /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

2 PM UPDATE ...

HAVE NUDGED HIGHS UP BY A FEW DEGREES. SUN ANGLE COMBINED WITH A
BARELY SNOW-COVERED GROUND FOR MOST LOCALES ALBEIT NW AND N-CENTRAL
MASSACHUSETTS IS RESULTING IN TEMPERATURES TO WARM A BIT FASTER
THAN INITIALLY THOUGHT. HIGHS FROM THE UPPER-20S TO MID-30S NOW
FORECAST.

BOUNDARY-LAYER MIXING-WELL ALLOWING FOR THE MIX-DOWN OF BREEZY
NW-FLOW ... GUSTS AVERAGING 20 TO 30 MPH. IN CONSIDERATION ...
EXPECT REAL-FEEL / WIND CHILLS TO BEEN IN THE TEENS TO LOW 20S.

TONIGHT ...

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING S OUT OF CANADA ALLOWS THE NW-FLOW TO RELAX W
TO E. SUBSEQUENTLY OVERNIGHT STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE ALONG THE COAST
INCLUDING CAPE / ISLANDS. WITH MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS ... QUESTION
AS TO WHETHER RADIATIONAL COOLING PROCEEDS ACROSS INTERIOR S NEW
ENGLAND. CONFIDENCE TOWARDS NW AND N-CENTRAL MASS ... ESPECIALLY
WITHIN SHELTERED VALLEY LOCALES AND WITH A SIGNIFICANT DEPTH OF SNOW
COVER. TALKING SINGLE DIGITS FOR SUCH AREAS ... TEENS ELSEWHERE BUT
WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF WINDS BECOME LIGHT AND CALM TOWARDS THE E.
NOTORIOUS POINTS SUCH AS NORWOOD / TAUNTON MAY AS WELL DROP INTO THE
SINGLE DIGITS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...

FRIDAY ...

HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BUILD S AND E OUT OF CANADA AMPLIFIED BY
RISING HEIGHTS AND TIGHTENING CONFLUENT FLOW N OF THE DEVELOPING LOW
ACROSS THE SE CONUS. WILL SEE THIN HIGH CIRRUS INCREASING N AND E
INTO OUR REGION WITH THE ISENTROPIC FLOW ... LOWERING AND THICKENING
TOWARDS THE END OF THE DAY. APPEARS LITTLE CHANGE IN AIRMASS ALOFT
AND WITH THINKING THE BOUNDARY-LAYER WILL WELL-MIX AGAIN TO H9 AS A
BLANKET OF HIGH CLOUDS TAKES SHAPE ... THINKING HIGHS WILL BE A FEW
DEGREES LOWER THAN THURSDAY ... AROUND THE UPPER-20S TO LOW-30S WITH
LIGHT N-WINDS ... A BIT STRONGER ALONG THE COAST. WIND CHILLS JUST
ABOUT 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW ACTUAL TEMPERATURES.

FRIDAY NIGHT ...

TOP-DOWN MOISTENING THROUGH THE UPPER-LEVELS LOWERING INTO THE MID-
LEVELS CONTINUING ... BUT EXPECTED TO BE A SHARP N-S GRADIENT. H7
MOISTURE MAY NOT CROP MUCH N THAN THE CT/RI/MA BORDER. JUXTAPOSITION
OF THE CONFLUENT FLOW N INFLUENTIAL AS TO OUTCOMES PARENT WITH HIGH
PRESSURE. INCREASING N/NE-FLOW PER ISALLOBARIC RESPONSE TO THE
DEEPENING LOW INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC. AN INCREASING ONSHORE FLOW OFF
THE WARMER WATERS WITH A THICK BLANKET OF CLOUDS ALOFT ... BELIEVE
MINS WILL RANGE MILDER IN THE TEENS TO LOW-20S. PERHAPS SOME SINGLE
DIGITS FAR N/W MASS ALONG THE HIGH TERRAIN WHERE N-WINDS WILL USHER
FROM THE COLD INTERIOR OF NEW ENGLAND.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

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 /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS ...

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

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

18Z UPDATE ... HIGH CONFIDENCE.

THROUGH FRIDAY ... VFR. NW-WINDS GUSTING UP TO 25 KTS TODAY WILL
GRADUALLY DIMINISH W TO E TO NEAR-CALM WHILE BACKING N/NE.

INTO SATURDAY MORNING ... WILL SEE HIGH CLOUDS LOWER AND THICKEN
AS NE-FLOW INCREASES. THERE IS A MODERATE CHANCE FOR MVFR CIGS
ACROSS SE NEW ENGLAND DEVELOPING WITH THE INCREASING NE-FLOW OFF
THE OCEAN.

KBOS TERMINAL...
DRY FORECAST THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING BY WHICH TIME THERE IS A

SPRAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION OUT OF CANADA.
WAVES WILL DIMINISH GRADUALLY THEREAFTER WITH WAVES DROPPING BELOW
5-FEET ON THE OUTER WATERS INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS.

A LULL THROUGH THE FRIDAY EVENING PERIOD ... WILL SEE WINDS BACK
AND INCREASE OUT OF THE NE IN ADVANCE OF THE STORM SYSTEM OUT OF
THE MID-ATLANTIC. SEAS INCREASING ACROSS THE S/SE WATERS WHERE THE
STRONGEST OF THE NE-FLOW WILL BE SITUATED WITH THE EXPECTATION OF
GUSTS UP TO 30 KTS ACROSS BLOCK ISLAND SOUND AND POINTS S/SW. SEAS
BUILDING TO 5-FEET.

OUTLOOK /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

SATURDAY-SUNDAY...STRONG LOW PRES EXITS THE MID ATLC COAST AND THEN

.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.
