Heavy Snow in Massachusetts, December 16, 2007

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
330 AM EST SUN DEC 16 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A DEVELOPING COASTAL STORM WILL BRING SNOW SLEET AND RAIN TO SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND TODAY...AS WELL AS STRONG WINDS. THE STORM WILL MOVE OFF
THROUGH THE MARITIMES MONDAY AND HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BRING DRY
WEATHER FOR TUESDAY. A CLIPPER LOW WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS
WEDNESDAY. THE NEXT POTENTIAL STORM WILL COME ON FRIDAY AS LOW
PRESSURE MOVES UP THE OHIO VALLEY AND REDEVELOPS ALONG THE COAST.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL NOON TODAY/...
COASTAL LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPED AS EXPECTED AND PRECIPITATION MOVED UP
THE COAST...REACHING NEW YORK CITY AND EXTREME SOUTHWEST CONNECTICUT
BY 2 AM. PTYPE OVER LONG ISLAND HAS BEEN RAIN AND SLEET...WITH SNOW
REPORTED IN THE HUDSON VALLEY. THE COLD AIR IS DEEPER OVER NEW
ENGLAND THAN NEW YORK CITY..SO INITIAL PTYPE SHOULD BE SNOW. STRONG
WINDS AT 700 MB WILL BRING A LAYER OF ABOVE FREEZING AIR...REACHING
SOUTHERN ZONES FIRST AND WORKING NORTH DURING THE MORNING. SO SNOW
AND SLEET WILL ONLY HAVE TIME FOR A QUICK INCH OR TWO IN THE
SOUTH...BUT A LONGER RESIDENCE TIME FROM THE MASS PIKE NORTH WILL
ALLOW FOR SEVERAL INCHES ACCUMULATION WITH THE LONGEST RESIDENCE TIME
AND ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED IN SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
&&

.SHORT TERM /NOON TODAY THROUGH 6 AM MONDAY/...
THE 00Z NAM CONTINUES TO TRACK THE SURFACE LOW INTO WESTERN
MASS...OVER THE TOP OF THE LOW LEVEL COLD AIR. WHILE STRANGER THINGS
HAVE HAPPENED...THIS SEEMS UNLIKELY. THE 00Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF TRACK
THE COASTAL LOW TO JUST EAST OF CAPE ANN BY THIS EVENING. THIS IS
MORE REASONABLE...AND IS THE SCENARIO WE FOLLOWED. SUCH PLACEMENT
WILL BE UNLIKELY TO SCOUR OUT THE COLD AIR IN THE INTERIOR...SO WHILE
THE CHANGEOVER IN OUR EASTERN ZONES WILL LIKELY BE FROM SLEET TO
RAIN...IN THE NORTHWEST IT SHOULD BE MORE LIKE SLEET TO FREEZING
RAIN. WITH THIS IN MIND...WE HAVE EXPANDED THE WINTER STORM WARNING
INTO HAMPDEN AND SOUTHERN WORCESTER COUNTY MASS. WE PONDERED DOING
THIS FOR HARTFORD AS WELL...BUT TEMPERATURES LOOK TO CLIMB HIGH
ENOUGH TO END THE FREEZING RAIN.

A VERY STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT IN ADVANCE OF THE COASTAL LOW WILL
CREATE STRONG EAST AND NORTHEAST WINDS FOR THE AFTERNOON. HIGH WIND
WARNINGS HAVE BEEN CONTINUED FOR THE CAPE AND ISLANDS...AND A WIND
ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR THE REST OF EASTERN MASS AND RI.

THE COASTAL LOW WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN AS IT MOVES OFF TONIGHT.
WITH THE LOW TO OUR NORTHEAST...WINDS WILL SHIFT TO WEST AND CREATE
STRONG COLD ADVECTION.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
DECENT MODEL AGREEMENT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...AND STAYED CLOSER TO THE
GFS LED CONSENSUS.  THEREAFTER...CONFIDENCE STARTS TO REALLY DECLINE
TOWARD FRIDAY AND NEXT SATURDAY.  TOOK A BLEND OF THE 15/12Z GFS AND
15/00Z ECMWF FOR THAT PORTION OF THE FORECAST...LEANING MORE TOWARD
THE GFS.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...
DRY WEATHER EXPECTED...BUT VERY COLD AIR WILL LIKELY BE DRAWN DOWN
FROM THE NORTHWEST AS THE POWERFUL COASTAL STORM LIFTS INTO CANADA.
ALTHOUGH NONE OF THE MODELS ARE EXTREMELY COLD AT 850 MB...WE
BELIEVE THAT WITH LOTS OF SNOW COVER OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND THERE
MIGHT BE THE TENDENCY FOR THIS AIRMASS TO COMEDOWN SOMEWHAT
SHALLOW.  THIS APPEARS TO BE REFLECTED IN THE GFS/NAM 2 METER
TEMPERATURE FIELDS SO HAVE LOWERED MEX GUIDANCE A BIT.  LOW
TEMPERATURES STAND A GOOD CHANCE OF DROPPING TO AROUND 0 ACROSS
NORTHWEST MA AND SOUTHWEST NH MONDAY NIGHT.  THE REST OF OUR REGION
SHOULD SEE LOWS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO MID TEENS.  HIGHS WILL
MAINLY BE IN THE 20S TO LOWER 30S.

IN ADDITION NORTHWEST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 40 MPH ARE
EXPECTED ON MONDAY WHICH WILL RESULT IN WIND CHILLS FROM THE SINGLE
DIGITS BELOW ZERO ACROSS THE INTERIOR...INTO THE TEENS.   THE WINDS
WILL BE MUCH LIGHTER TUESDAY...BUT IT STILL WILL BY VERY COLD.

WEDNESDAY...
TEMPERATURES SHOULD MODERATE AS THE CORE OF THE COLD HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES OFF THE COAST.  WARM AIR ADVECTION COULD LEAD TO SOME
SHOWERS...BUT THE FORCING IS VERY WEAK AND FOCUSED TO OUR WEST.
HAVE TRIMMED THE THREAT OF MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION WITH GOOD
AGREEMENT FROM THE MODELS.

THURSDAY...
RATHER SEASONABLE WEATHER EXPECTED OUT AHEAD OF OUR NEXT POTENTIAL
STORM.  HIGHS SHOULD RECOVER INTO THE UPPER 30S AND LOWER 40S ACROSS
MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...
ITS A LONG WAY OFF...AND CONFIDENCE IS VERY LOW.  HOWEVER...THE
GFS/GFS ENSEMBLES SHOW THE POTENTIAL FOR A COASTAL STORM SOMETIME
FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.  MEANWHILE THE LATEST ECMWF STILL HAS THE
STORM SYSTEM PASSING FARTHER TO OUR SOUTH...JUST GIVING THE
SOUTHEAST PORTION OF OUR REGION A GLANCING BLOW.  WAY TOO EARLY TO
MAKE A CALL ON THIS...BUT WILL INCLUDE A CHANCE OF  SNOW FOR THE
INTERIOR...AND RAIN/SNOW FOR THE COAST.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS WILL LOWER TO IFR/LIFR IN SNOW AND SLEET BY 12Z
AND REMAIN THERE THROUGH 22Z AS THE PRECIP CHANGES TO RAIN OR
FREEZING RAIN. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE 22Z-01Z WITH A WIND SHIFT. VFR
CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT AND MONDAY.

AIRPORT WEATHER WARNINGS WILL BE ISSUED FOR PVD AND BOS FOR SNOW AND
SLEET...AND MAY NEED TO BE REISSUED LATER IN THE MORNING FOR THE
STRONG WINDS.

STRONG WINDS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COASTAL STORM. AN EASTERLY 50-60
KNOT JET WILL SLIP OOVER THE SURFACE LAYER...CREATING A PERIOD OF LOW
LEVEL WIND SHEAR MIDDAY AND THIS AFTERNOON. AFTER THE WIND
SHIFT...STRONG WEST WINDS AND GUSTS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE FIRST
HALF OF THE NIGHT.

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY... GUSTS OF 35 KT POSSIBLE
DURING THE DAY MONDAY. GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THE REST OF
THE TIME..BUT THERE COULD BE A PERIOD OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS
WEDNESDAY WITH THE PASSAGE OF A WARM FRONT.

&&

.MARINE...
IN THE SHORT TERM CONDITIONS ON THE WATERS WILL BE DANGEROUS. AS OF 3
AM GALE FORCE WINDS WERE APPROACHING THE SOUTHERN WATERS...THIS WILL
SPREAD ACROSS ALL THE WATERS TODAY WITH STORM FORCE WINDS EXPECTED ON
MOST WATERS THIS AFTERNOON. AS THE STORM CENTER MOVES PAST THE WATERS
THIS EVENING...WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM EAST TO WEST AND CONTINUE TO
BLAST AT STRONG GALE FORCE OR STORM FORCE. THIS WILL DRAW COLD AIR
ACROSS THE WATERS DURING THE NIGHT. EXPECT OCEAN EFFECT CLOUDS TO
DEVELOP EAST OF MASSACHUSETTS IN THIS COLD FLOW.

IN THE LONGER TERM...MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
GALE FORCE NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE WATERS MONDAY
IN THE STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION PATTERN. WINDS WILL SLACKEN TO SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS MONDAY NIGHT...AND FINALLY BELOW THOSE LEVELS
ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
NO WATCH WILL BE ISSUED AT THIS TIME...BUT WE WILL ISSUE A COASTAL
FLOOD STATEMENT. SURGE FORECASTS FOR BOSTON AND THE MASSACHUSETTS
EAST COAST APPROACH 2 FEET AT HIGH TIDE LATE TODAY...AND SEAS AT THAT
TIME NORTH OF PROVINCETOWN ARE FORECAST AT 15 TO 20 FEET. THIS HAS
OUR ATTENTION...BUT REMAINS 1.5 TO 2 FEET BELOW FLOOD. ALL THE
SAME...SUCH ROUGH CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY PRODUCE SPLASHOVER AND
POSSIBLE MINOR COASTAL FLOODING. WE WILL HIGHLIGHT THE RISK IN A
STATEMENT.
