AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
128 AM EST FRI DEC 12 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
COLD HIGH PRESSURE IS BECOMING ENTRENCHED FROM NEW YORK STATE TO NORTHERN
NEW ENGLAND AND SOUTHEAST CANADA. LOW PRESSURE MOVING NORTHEASTWARD FROM
THE SOUTHEAST STATES WILL BRING LOTS OF PRECIPITATION WITH IT...WHICH
WILL FALL INTO THE LOW LEVEL COLD AIR. THIS WILL RESULT IN AN ICE STORM
FOR PORTIONS OF INTERIOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD OVER THE NORTHEAST STATES SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...THEN SHIFT OFFSHORE
MONDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION ON TUESDAY...WITH THE POTENTIAL
FOR MORE UNSETTLED WEATHER MIDWEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 5 AM THIS MORNING/...
AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN ARE MOVING ACROSS THE REGION...ONE MOVING ACROSS
EASTERN MA AND RI AND A SECOND MOVING NORTH TOWARD NORTH CENTRAL CT
AND WESTERN MA. ALREADY SEVERAL REPORTS OF 1/2 INCH ICE IN
WESTERN/CENTRAL MA AND SOUTHERN NH AS WELL AS NUMEROUS DOWNED
BRANCHES AND POWER LINES. ADDITIONAL ACCRETION IS EXPECTED IN
WESTERN/CENTRAL MA AND SOUTHERN NH OVERNIGHT...SO THE ICE STORM
WARNING CONTINUES. ICING REPORTS IN HARTFORD COUNTY ARE LIMITED TO
THE EXTREME NORTHWEST CORNER SO WE WILL KEEP THAT COUNTY OUT. REPORTS
OF TREE BRANCHES DOWN IN NORTHERN SECTIONS OF ESSEX AND MIDDLESEX
COUNTIES...AS THE REPORTS ARE LIMITED AND NOT WIDESPREAD THE WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY STILL LOOKS OK BUT WE WILL BE WATCHING CLOSELY FOR
ANY NEED TO UPSHIFT TO A WARNING.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS PER ASOS RANGE FROM .75 INCHES IN THE CT VALLEY TO
1.5 INCHES IN RI AND SOUTHEAST MASS. 6 HOUR FLASH FLOOD INDICES ARE
IN THE 2.5 TO 3.5 INCH RANGE...SO WARNINGS MAY BE NEEDED IN A COUPLE
OF HOURS.
STEADY OR SLOWLY RISING TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO BE EXPECTED
OVERNIGHT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /5 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
ICE STORM: HEAVY GLAZING THROUGH AT LEAST 2 AM AND THEREAFTER IT GETS
A LITTLE TENUOUS WITH SFC TEMPS RISING BUT...NE FACING UPSLOPE REGION
OF THE MONADNOCKS AND NE FACING CENTRAL HILLS OF ORH COUNTY ARE PRONE
TO MAJOR ICING.
DELETED HFD COUNTY FROM THE ADVY BUT A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT NW HFD
COUNTY THIS EVENING WHERE ICING PROBLEMS ARE OCCURRING W OF BDL...IN THE
HILLY TERRAIN. WE ALSO SEE SOME HOMELAND SECURITY SITES INDICATING
FREEZING TEMPS ON THE TOLLAND COUNTY DOORSTEP.
AROUND 630 PM WE MAY NEED TO REISSUE THE WXA FOR ICE FOR THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OF THOSE TWO COUNTIES. WE WILL BE WATCHING THE TRENDS ON
MARGINALLY COLD ENOUGH INFLUX OF FREEZING TEMPERATURES.
WE ALSO CUT EASTERN HAMPDEN OUT OF THE ICE STORM WARNING DUE TO
PRIMARILY VALLEY NATURE AND SLIGHTLY WARMER SFC TEMPS. CHANGED THAT
TO A WXA WHERE THERE MAY BE ENOUGH ZR IN HILLY SUBURBS TO CAUSE ICY
PAVEMENTS FROM 2 TO 4 TENTHS INCH GLAZE.
THE EDGE OF THE WARNING AREA NR THE MASS PIKE IS SHAKY REGARDING
VOLUME OF ICING BUT NORTH OF THERE... 18Z NAM CONTS TO KEEP THE COLD
AIR TUCKED IN.
HIGH WIND WARNING POTENTIAL FOR ACK FMH EVEN EWB BUT ATTM WE JUST
EXPANDED THE WIND ADVY. CONCERNED ABOUT INVERSION...BUT WE HAVE A
CLOSE CALL ON HIGH WIND AT DAYBREAK FRIDAY IN SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND.
FLOOD WATCH EXPANDED WESTWARD DUE TO MODELED QPF VOLUME AND FFG.
BANDING SIGNAL...ONE ROUGHLY LCI TO DXR OVERNIGHT AND ANOTHER FORMS
JUST LEFT OF THE SFC LOW TRACK JUST W OF I95 TWD MORNING.
THUNDER SIGNAL...WE HAVE IT IN THE SE ZONES OF OUR COUNTY WARNING AREA BUT
WONT BE SURPRISED IF INSTABILITY ERUPTS THUNDER IN THE LCI-DXR REGION ARD
06Z.
MINOR COASTAL FLOODING POSSIBLE UPPER REACHES OF NARR AND MORE SO
BUZZ BAY WITHIN 1 HR FRI MORNING HIGH TIDE. NO ISSUANCE ATTM DUE TO
TRACK AND STRENGTH OF SLY FLOW UNCERTAINTY BUT WE MAY ISSUE A COASTAL
FLOOD ADVISORY ON THE WELL STAFFED SHIFT.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND FRIDAY NIGHT AND
CRESTS OVER THE REGION LATER SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.
OVERALL...THIS WILL ALLOW FOR FINE WEATHER OVER THE WEEKEND ASIDE FOR
SOME CLOUDS FROM TIME TO TIME AS MID AND HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE
OCCASIONALLY STREAMS EASTWARD. TEMPS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY WILL
BE QUITE COLD...ALONG WITH EVEN COLDER WIND CHILL VALUES. WE MODIFY
TO CLOSE TO NORMAL ON SUNDAY.
WARM AIR ADVECTION GETS GOING IN EARNEST SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY AND
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFFSHORE. THIS MAY AID IN INTRODUCING MORE
CLOUDINESS AND PERHAPS SOME VERY LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS THE
INTERIOR LATER MONDAY AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES. TEMPS RELATIVELY
MILD MONDAY...WITH MAXES AROUND 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL IF NOT A BIT
HIGHER.
COLD FRONT SAGS SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS UPSTATE NY AND NEW ENGLAND
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. WENT WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS DURING THIS
PERIOD. TEMPS WILL BE WARM ENOUGH FOR RAIN ALL AREAS.
THE PATTERN LOOKS TO BECOME CONDUCIVE FOR ONE OR MORE WINTER WEATHER
EVENTS MID TO LATE WEEK AS RELATIVELY WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS
DEVELOP AND RIDE EASTWARD ALONG THE OLD SAGGING FRONTAL BOUNDARY. WAY
TOO EARLY TO TELL...BUT THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR A MIXED BAG OF
PRECIP FOR MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND MID TO LATE WEEK.
MODELS WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE TROUBLE RESOLVING THE SHORT WAVES THIS
FAR IN ADVANCE...SO WHETHER WE SEE RAIN/SNOW/SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN
AND ON WHAT DAYS IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL AT THIS TIME.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THIS MORNING...
WIDESPREAD IFR CONDITIONS WITH FZRA AT ORH AND MHT TIL ABOUT
09Z...THEN PLAIN RAIN. ALL RAIN OTHER TERMINALS. OTHER HAZARD THIS
MORNING WILL BE A VERY STRONG LOW LEVEL JET MOVING ALONG THE SOUTH
COAST FROM 08Z TO ABOUT 12-15Z. THIS WILL CREATE LLWS AT BOS/PVD/HYA
AND ACK. THIS LOW LEVEL JET WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A WIND SHIFT /WARM
FRONT/ TO SOUTH AT THE SURFACE. TSTMS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THIS
BOUNDARY AND SOUTHWARD FROM 08Z-15Z. THEREFORE HAVE INCLUDED CB AT
PVD/HYA AND ACK. CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE TSTM IN
PREVAILING OR TEMPO GROUP. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR RADAR CLOSELY IN THE
08Z-15Z TIME FRAME.
THIS AFTERNOON...
LOW PRES WILL LIFT NORTH OF THE REGION BY MIDDAY WITH IMPROVING
CONDITIONS FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST. WE SHOULD SEE CONDITIONS
IMPROVE FROM IFR TO MVFR TO VFR BY SUNSET. MIDDAY WILL ALSO BE THE
TIMEFRAME FOR A WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST AS THE LOW LIFTS NORTH
INTO MAINE.
TONIGHT...
VFR WITH DIMINISHING WINDS.
OUTLOOK...SAT THROUGH TUESDAY...
SAT-SUNDAY...VFR.
MONDAY...VFR CIGS. FRONT MAY APPROACH IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
WITH MVFR VSBYS IN SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS. MVFR TO IFR POSSIBLE
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AS FRONT SLOWLY MOVES ACROSS NEW ENGLAND.
&&
.MARINE...
GALE WARNING CONTD LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY FRI.
OUTLOOK...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...NW WINDS WILL REMAIN AT SMALL CRAFT
CRITERIA WITH 25-30 KT GUSTS. SEAS WILL SUBSIDE...BUT REMAIN ABOVE
SCA LEVELS ON THE OUTER WATERS.
SATURDAY NIGHT-SUNDAY NIGHT...DIMINISHING WINDS AND SEAS AS HIGH
PRESSURE MOVES OVERHEAD.
MONDAY-TUESDAY...INCREASING SWLY FLOW LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY
MORNING AS COLD FRONT APPROACHES. GUSTS AROUND 30 KT AND BUILDING
SEAS. FRONT CROSSES THE WATERS EARLY TUESDAY WITH WINDS SHIFTING NW.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
A FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR CT-RI-EASTERN MASS. A PLUME OF 1.5 INCH
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS RI-EASTERN MASS
AND ADJACENT CT. THIS MOISTURE ALONG WITH STRONG LIFT SHOULD PRODUCE
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...WITH AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES BETWEEN 00Z
AND 15Z FRIDAY. ONE HOUR FLASH FLOOD VALUES ARE AT 1.5 TO 3.0 INCHES...6
HOUR VALUES ARE 2.5 TO 4.0 INCHES. SO FLOODING POTENTIAL CONTINUES
ESPECIALLY FOR URBAN AND SMALL STREAM SETTINGS. OF THE MAIN STEM
RIVERS...THE PAWTUXET IS A CONCERN AND OTHERS EAST OF WORCESTER WILL
NEED TO BE WATCHED.
00Z/11 GFS ENS POPS FOR 3 INCHES IS 80 PCT FOR CT AND S CENTRAL MA.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
WILL BE ISSUING A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY FOR THE SOUTH COAST OF RI
AND SOUTHEAST MA...AS WE EXPECT MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ACROSS THIS
AREA. THE MOST LIKELY AREA FOR MINOR TIDAL FLOODING WILL BE
NARRAGANSETT AND BUZZARDS BAYS...AS A 3-5 HR SOUTHERLY GALE WILL
COINCIDE WITH A HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDE AT APPROXIMATELY 7 AM. THESE
SOUTHERLY GALES WILL COMBINE WITH MODEST PRES FALLS TO GENERATE A
1-1.5 FT STORM SURGE ACROSS THE SOUTH COAST. IN ADDITION...10-15 KT
SEAS ARE EXPECT ONTOP OF THE SURGE JUST OFFSHORE.
AS FOR EAST COASTAL MA...HIGH TIDE IS ABOUT 3 HRS LATER...OCCURRING
AROUND 10 AM. BY 7 AM THE GREATEST PRES FALLS ARE WELL NORTH OF THE
REGION OVER MAINE. THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN SURFACE WINDS SHIFTING
TO THE NORTHWEST AT THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE. THIS WILL REDUCE THE SURGE
AND WAVE ACTION GIVEN THE OFFSHORE WIND COMPONENT. IN ADDITION...THE
ONSET OF PRES RISES AT 10 AM WILL MINIMIZE SURGE AS WELL. WE ARE
EXPECTING A 0.5 TO 1.0 SURGE FROM SALISBURY SOUTHWARD TO PLYMOUTH.
ALSO...WITH THE LOW TAKING AN INLAND TRACK...THE STRONGEST SURFACE
WINDS WILL BE FOCUSED ACROSS RI AND SOUTHEAST MA...REDUCING THE RISK
OF COASTAL FLOODING ACROSS EASTERN MA COASTLINE.
SO IN A NUTSHELL...THERE COULD BE SOME MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG
THE EASTERN MA COASTLINE /INCLUDING PLUM ISLAND/ GIVEN THE HIGH
ASTRONOMICAL TIDES/SMALL SURGE AND SEAS OF 5-8 FT...BUT THERE IS A
HIGHER LIKELYHOOD OF WIDESPREAD MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE
SOUTH COAST. THUS...WILL FOCUS THE COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY ALONG THE
SOUTH COAST...ESPECIALLY FOR NARR AND BUZZARD BAYS.
