  NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. THE STRONGEST WIND GUSTS WILL OCCUR
  SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

* IMPACTS...WIND CHILLS THIS COLD CAN BRING ON FROSTBITE IN AS

* WINDS...NORTHWEST 20 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH.

* AIR TEMPERATURES...TEMPERATURES SAT NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING
  WILL FALL TO NEAR ZERO.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A WIND CHILL ADVISORY IS ISSUED WHEN THE WIND CHILL INDEX IS
LIKELY TO REACH -15 TO -24 DEGREES FOR AT LEAST 3 HOURS.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
302 PM EST THU FEB 11 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
MUCH COLDER AIRMASS MOVES INTO THE REGION TONIGHT OM GUSTY
NORTHWEST WINDS. AN OCEAN STORM WILL TRACK WELL OFFSHORE FRIDAY
NIGHT BUT WILL BRING A PERIOD OF ACCUMULATING SNOW TO THE CAPE
AND ISLANDS. AN ARCTIC FRONT WILL DELIVER BITTERLY COLD WEATHER
THIS WEEKEND WITH DANGEROUSLY COLD WIND CHILLS. TEMPERATURES
MODERATE MONDAY THEN A STORM WILL LIKELY BRING SNOW QUICKLY
CHANGING TO RAIN TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT AS MUCH MILDER AIR
MOVES INTO NEW ENGLAND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
***WIND CHILLS DROPPING TO BETWEEN 0 AND 10 BELOW ZERO LATE
 TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING***

SCT FLURRIES AND SNOW SHOWERS MOVING ACROSS SNE THIS AFTERNOON
WILL DISSIPATE BY EVENING FOLLOWED BY CLEARING SKIES TONIGHT AS
GOOD MID LEVEL DRYING MOVES IN. STRONG COLD ADVECTION ON GUSTY NW
WINDS WITH 850 MB TEMPS DROPPING TO -20C TONIGHT...THEN WINDS
GRADUALLY DIMINISH OVERNIGHT. MIN TEMPS WILL BE MOSTLY IN THE
SINGLE NUMBERS...EXCEPT TEENS CAPE/ISLANDS. WIND CHILLS WILL DROP
TO ZERO TO 10 BELOW OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
FRIDAY...
HIGH PRES MOVES OFF MID ATLC COAST WITH SUNSHINE GIVING WAY TO
INCREASING AFTERNOON CLOUDS AS NEXT POTENT SHORTWAVE MOVES INTO
THE GT LAKES. WITH DEEPER MOISTURE REMAINING SOUTH AND WEST OF
THE REGION IT SHOULD REMAIN DRY THROUGH THE DAY. THERE IS A LOW
PROB OF A FEW OCEAN EFFECT FLURRIES/SNOW SHOWERS OVER CAPE/ISLANDS
TOWARD EVENING WITH SW FLOW AND COLD AIR ALOFT YIELDING OCEAN
INDUCED CAPES AROUND 500 J/KG...BUT MOISTURE IS VERY SHALLOW
WHICH WILL LIMIT ACTIVITY. MAX TEMPS WILL BE MOSTLY IN THE LOW
AND MID 20S...WITH UPPER TEENS HIGHER TERRAIN. WINDS WILL BE
LIGHT.

FRIDAY NIGHT...
*** ACCUMULATING SNOW LIKELY ACROSS CAPE/ISLANDS ***

INTERESTING SET UP AS OCEAN STORM TRACKS WELL OFFSHORE BUT POTENT
MID LEVEL TROF/SHORTWAVE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST WILL INDUCE AN
INVERTED TROF WHICH EXTENDS ACROSS SE NEW ENG. MODELS ARE IN
FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON DEEPENING MOISTURE AND AREA OF GOOD LOW
LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND MODEST OMEGA IN THE SNOW GROWTH
REGION...FOCUSED ACROSS CAPE/ISLANDS FRI NIGHT WHICH SHOULD BRING
A PERIOD OF SNOW. SOME OCEAN ENHANCEMENT LIKELY GIVEN STEEP LOW
LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND OCEAN INDUCED CAPES AROUND 500 J/KG YIELDING
POTENTIAL FOR BRIEF HEAVIER SNOW. SNOW ACCUM OF 1-3 INCHES
EXPECTED WITH LOW RISK OF UP TO 4 INCHES. ADVISORIES MAY BE
NEEDED.

SNOW SHOWERS WILL LIKELY EXTEND ACROSS S COASTAL MA WITH MINOR
ACCUM POSSIBLE BUT MAIN FOCUS EXPECTED TO BE ACROSS CAPE/ISLANDS.
OTHERWISE...ARCTIC FRONT WILL BE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST LATE
FRI NIGHT AND WILL LIKELY BRING A FEW SNOW SHOWERS TO WESTERN NEW
ENG.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE THROUGH SAT
* MUCH COLDER AIR MOVES INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND FOR THE WEEKEND
* MORE PRECIPITATION POSSIBLE EARLY NEXT WEEK

OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCES...

HIGHLY AMPLIFIED FLOW PATTERN WILL GRADUALLY NEUTRALIZE TOWARD
NEXT WEEK AS WEEKEND SRN AND NRN STREAM PHASING ALLOWS FOR SOME
FLATTENING OF THE FLOW ACROSS THE NE CONUS. UNTIL THEN
HOWEVER...CONDUIT FOR COLD AIR...WITH VERY CYCLONICALLY CURVED
FLOW WILL YIELD A COLD AND UNSETTLED PATTERN CULMINATING IN
POTENTIAL STORM FOR MID NEXT WEEK...BUT THIS FEATURE REMAINS
ELUSIVE GIVEN SEVERE TRACK DISCREPANCIES AMONG OPERATIONAL AND
ENSEMBLE SOLUTIONS. THERE IS ENOUGH SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT THAT A
BLEND OF OPERATIONAL GUIDANCE WILL BE USED FOR THE BASELINE
THROUGH THE MID TERM. HOWEVER...WILL FOLLOW PREVIOUS FORECASTER/S
THINKING AND LEAN MORE HEAVILY ON ENSEMBLES FOR THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK GIVEN THE TRACK UNCERTAINTY.

DETAILS...

FRI NIGHT INTO SAT...
VERY ROBUST ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL BE MOVING THROUGH THE
AREA...FRI NIGHT AS ENERGY TRANSFERS FROM LOW PRES MOVING OUT OF
ONTARIO TO LOW PRES DEVELOPING S OF THE GULF OF MAINE INTERSECTION
WITH NOVA SCOTIA. WHILE THIS IS TOO FAR OFFSHORE FOR DIRECT IMPACT
ON SRN NEW ENGLAND A STRONG INVERTED TROF IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
WHICH WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED AS IT IS LIKELY TO PRODUCE ADVISORY
TO WARNING LEVEL SNOWFALL OVER A VERY LOCALIZED AREA. CURRENT
ORIENTATION IS MAINLY ACROSS COASTAL MAINE. A FEW SHSN ARE
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE REGION AS THE COLD FRONT PASSES...AND WILL
NEED TO MONITOR CAPE COD/ANN FOR OCEAN EFFECT GIVEN 25C OR GREATER
SST-H85 DELTA-T VALUES. WINDS HAVE MAINLY A WESTERLY
COMPONENT...SO THIS WILL NOT BE AS WIDESPREAD AS THEY COULD BE
SHOULD THE WIND ORIENT MORE TO THE N.

OTHERWISE...H92 TEMPS DROP FROM -12C TO -24C BY LATE SAT SUGGESTS
THAT TEMPS MAY HOLD OR EVEN DROP DURING THE DAY ON SAT. EXPECT
LOWS IN THE TEENS AND HIGHS ONLY IN THE 20S.

SAT NIGHT INTO SUN...
VERY COLD TEMPERATURES WILL ATTEMPT TO MELT THE WARM HEARTS OF
VALENTINES DAY. ENSEMBLES SHOW NEARLY 80 PERCENT PROBS OF H85
TEMPS BELOW -30C. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A SECONDARY
SHORTWAVE PASSAGE WHICH WILL ENHANCE NW WINDS ACROSS THE REGION
DURING THE OVERNIGHT AND MORNING HOURS. AMBIENT TEMPERATURES ALONE
WILL BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS BELOW 0F...BUT COMBINED WITH THIS
20-30 MPH BREEZE...SUSPECT 15-25 BELOW ZERO WIND CHILLS ACROSS
MUCH OF THE REGION. WILL LIKELY NEED WIND CHILL
WARNINGS/ADVISORIES FOR SAT NIGHT INTO SUN. STILL COLD ON SUN AS
HIGHS WILL STRUGGLE TO MAKE IT INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS LEAVING WIND
CHILLS BELOW 0F. THE SECONDARY ARCTIC ENHANCEMENT WILL ALSO LEAD
TO AN INCREASED RISK FOR OCEAN EFFECT SNOWS ALONG CAPE ANN/COD
AGAIN AND WILL SHIFT THE INVERTED TROF TO THE S. WILL NEED TO
MONITOR THIS SNOWFALL.

SUN NIGHT INTO MON...
HIGH PRES CRESTS OVER THE REGION WITH SLIGHT WARMING TREND. H92
TEMPS REBOUND TO NEAR -12C. SO HIGHS WILL RISE CLOSER TO SEASONAL
NORMALS...MAINLY IN THE 20S AND LOW 30S. LESS OF A RISK FOR COLD
WIND CHILLS AS PRES GRADIENT SLACKENS.

TUE AND WED...
INTERESTING SETUP WITH SRN STREAM REGAINING CONTROL AND
DEVELOPING A LOW PRES WITH CONNECTION TO GULF OF MEXICO MOISTURE.
LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE TRACK AS GEFS MEAN IS OVER THE
BENCHMARK WHILE ECENS MEAN IS WELL INLAND. IN ANY CASE...A
POTENTIAL P-TYPE ISSUE STORM WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF POTENTIAL QPF.
THE WEDGE OF COLD AIR LEFT OVER MAY LEAD TO SOME ICE DEVELOPMENT
DEPENDING ON THIS TRACK...OR EVEN JUST ALL RAIN/SNOW. WILL NEED TO
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS FEATURE AS IMPACTS COULD BE SUBSTANTIAL
IF ICE IS INVOLVED. FOR NOW...THE BLEND DOES HAVE A BIT OF ICE
TRANSITIONING TO MAINLY RAIN ACROSS SRN NEW ENGLAND...BUT THIS IS
LIKELY TO CHANGE.

...POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING WIND CHILLS WITH EXTREME COLD
THIS WEEKEND...

* TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND WILL FALL BELOW ZERO SAT NIGHT INTO
  EARLY SUNDAY MORNING ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION INCLUDING THE
  CITIES OF BOSTON...PROVIDENCE...HARTFORD AND WORCESTER.

* THE CORE OF COLD AIR ARRIVES SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND THEN SETTLES
  OVER THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. BITTERLY COLD WINDS
  WILL EASE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY BUT ACTUAL AIR TEMPERATURES
  WILL REMAIN VERY COLD.

* NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH WILL
  RESULT IN WIND CHILL VALUES BETWEEN 15 AND 25 DEGREES BELOW
  ZERO...WITH THE COLDEST VALUES ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN WHERE
  30 DEGREES BELOW ZERO WIND CHILLS ARE POSSIBLE! THESE VALUES
  WILL RESULT IN FROSTBITE TO OCCUR IN 10 MINUTES OR LESS ON
  EXPOSED SKIN. RESIDENTS ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED TO TAKE PROPER
  PRECAUTIONS WITH LIMITING EXPOSED SKIN.

* IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO ALREADY...BE SURE TO COVER EXPOSED PIPES
  TO REDUCE THE THREAT OF FROZEN PIPES OR PIPE BURSTS.

* ENSURE YOUR FURNACES ARE IN WORKING ORDER. FOLLOW MANUFACTURES
  INSTRUCTIONS OR UTILIZE A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN TO ENSURE PROPER
  AND SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR FURNACE.

* NEVER VENTURE OUTDOORS WITHOUT WEARING GLOVES...A HAT AND
  SEVERAL LAYERS OF CLOTHING.

* RUN WATER AT A TRICKLE AND KEEP CABINET DOORS OPEN TO PREVENT
  PIPES FROM FREEZING.

* NEVER USE A STOVE OR OVEN TO HEAT YOUR HOME OR USE AN OPEN FLAME
  TO MELT FROZEN PIPES. MANY HOUSE FIRES RESULT FROM THESE
  PRACTICES.

* NEVER USE A GENERATOR NEAR OR INSIDE YOUR HOME. CARBON MONOXIDE
  POISONING IS DEADLY.  CHECK OR INSTALL CARBON MONOXIDE
  DETECTORS.

* CHECK TIRE PRESSURE AND YOUR CAR BATTERY. BE SURE YOUR CAR HAS
  A WINTER SAFETY KIT THAT INCLUDES A BLANKET...WARM CLOTHES AND
  GLOVES IN CASE YOUR CAR BREAKS DOWN OR BECOMES STRANDED.

* TAKE EXTRA STEPS TO KEEP YOUR PETS WARM AND KNOW THEIR LIMITS TO
  COLD.
