High Wind in Connecticut, December 3, 2009

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
514 AM EST THU DEC 3 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG LOW PRESSURE PASSING WELL TO OUR WEST WILL BRING A PERIOD OF
STRONG WINDS...HEAVY RAIN AND UNSEASONABLY MILD TEMPERATURES THIS
MORNING. SEASONABLY CHILLY WEATHER WILL ARRIVE FRIDAY INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK. COASTAL LOW PRESSURE MAY THREATEN PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND WITH AN ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL SATURDAY AFTERNOON OR SATURDAY
NIGHT. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM SHOULD APPROACH FOR THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AT 450 AM...MANY REPORTS 38-55 KTS FM FRG TO PHILLY TO IPT.

FM 346 AM DISCUSSION BELOW..
STRONG PRIMARY LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED OVER LAKE ERIE AS OF
07Z...WITH PERHAPS A WEAKER SECONDARY TRIPLE POINT LOW LOCATED NEAR
DCA. STRONG WARM SECTOR LOW LEVEL JET CONTINUES TO AID IN THE
PRODUCTION OF BATCHES OF HEAVY SHOWERS STREAMING NORTHWARD FROM NJ
INTO SNE. THE HEAVY RAIN SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM ACROSS SNE
EARLY THIS MORNING...BUT RAPIDLY SHUT OFF FROM SW TO NE BETWEEN 12Z
AND 15Z AS A DRYSLOT QUICKLY ADVECTS IN FROM THE SW. HAVE CAT POPS
PRIOR TO 14Z...BUT RAPIDLY GO DRY BY LATE MORNING. SOME MORNING RUSH
HOUR URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING IS EXPECTED.

AS FAR AS WINDS GO...LATEST GUIDANCE SHOWS THAT THE STRONGEST PORTION
OF THE LLJ WILL BE DISPLACED A BIT FURTHER EAST THAN PREVIOUSLY
ADVERTISED EARLY THIS MORNING. THEREFORE...WE ARE NOT TOTALLY SURE
THAT PORTIONS OF SNE WILL SEE WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA...MAINLY THE
INTERIOR. WE THINK THE MAIN WIND ISSUES WILL BE ACROSS SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE CWA...IE...RI AND SE MASS EARLY THIS MORNING.
HOWEVER...COLD FRONT CROSSES REGION MID MORNING AND SHOULD ALLOW THE
LOW LEVEL INVERSION TO POP OUT. THIS MAY ALLOW FOR A PERIOD OF 40 KT
GUSTS ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND MID MORNING THROUGH EARLY
AFTERNOON. THEREFORE...WE ARE GOING TO KEEP THE WIND ADVISORY GOING
FOR ALL ZONES. ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS...HIGHER-END WINDS WILL BE
POSSIBLE DUE TO THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE LOW LEVEL JET...SO A HIGH
WIND WARNING WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT THERE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH
FOR SIGNS OF DAMAGING WINDS IN THE WARM SECTOR EARLY THIS MORNING TO
THE NW OF THE HIGH WIND WARNING AREA...MAINLY RI AND INTERIOR SE
MASS. IF SIGNS POINT TO MORE DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL THEN WE COULD
ISSUE A SHORT-FUSED HIGH WIND WARNING THERE.

AS FAR AS THUNDER GOES...WE DON/T SEE TOO MUCH LIGHTNING ACTIVITY
UPSTREAM...BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME STRIKES FROM TIME TO TIME ACROSS
EASTERN PA AND NJ. THEREFORE...WILL KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE OF
THUNDER IN THE FORECAST FOR EARLY THIS MORNING. IF THUNDER OCCURS IT
MAY HELP TO BRING STRONG WINDS TO THE SFC. WE ARE WATCHING QUICKLY-
MOVING ARC OF CONVECTION ACROSS CENTRAL PA IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE
MAIN SHORT WAVE TROUGH. WE THINK THE BULK OF THIS WILL MOVE UP
THROUGH UPSTATE NY AND PERHAPS NORTHWESTERN NEW ENGLAND...BUT THERE/S
A LOW PROB THAT A PORTION OF THE LINE COULD CATCH THE AREA AROUND 12Z
WITH SOME LOCALLY HIGH WIND GUSTS /IF IT HOLDS TOGETHER/.

OTHERWISE...THE SUN SHOULD COME OUT RATHER QUICKLY MID MORNING ONWARD
AS THE DRY SLOT PUNCHES IN. TEMPS WILL BE QUITE WARM FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR...WITH MAXES PROBABLY IN THE MID 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
DIMINISHING WINDS...MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES...AND DRY WEATHER.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FRIDAY...DRY AND NICE WITH PLENTY OF SS AND STILL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS
AS SURFACE LOW WILL HAVE MOVED OFF THROUGH THE MARITIMES.

SATURDAY-SATURDAY NIGHT...21Z/2 AND 03Z/3 SREF PROBS WERE BECOMING
OMINOUS FOR SIGNIFICANT PCPN AS WELL AS THE AT LEAST A SHORT TERM
TREND OF GEFS...UK/GGEM TO BECOME WETTER WITH A CLOSER PASSAGE OF THE
NEWD MOVING INTENSIFYING COASTAL SFC LOW. 06Z GFS CONTS DRY EXCEPT
FAR SE.

CONFIDENCE ON THE EVENT IS BELOW AVG.

FOR QPF USED A BLEND 12Z/3 HPC AND 03Z/3 SREF.

FOR POPS USED 3Z/3 SREF TRIMMED ALONG THE NW EDGE OF THE FA AND CUT
BACK SOONER SUNDAY MORNING. THESE POPS WERE IN LINE WITH THE 0Z/3
GEFS.

WINDS/TEMPS ARE A 50 50 BLEND OF 00Z/3 NAM/GFS MOS.
SKY IS A 50 30 20 BLEND OF 00Z/3 GFS MOS...RGEM SKY AND NAM RH ALG.

IF SIGNIFICANT QPF WORKS NWD INTO SNE AS NOW OUTLOOKED BY THE SREF...BL
TEMPS COULD PREVENT MUCH SNOWFALL OR ACCUMULATION ALONG THE COAST.
HOWEVER... BEING THAT THE BULK SHOULD OCCUR AT NIGHT...A CRUSTY
ACCUMULATION IS POSSIBLE.

MUCH REMAINS TO BE DETERMINED INCLUDING THE EFFECT OF STILL RELATIVELY
WARM BL TEMPS IN THE I95 CORRIDOR.

FOR NOW WE HAVE .15 TO .70 QPF IN SNE FM NW TO SE WITH BELOW AVG CONFIDENCE
ON SIZABLE QPF AS NOW OUTLOOKED.

SNOW FALL FOR NOW IS OUTLOOKED 0.5 T0 1.5 INCHES WITH A RAIN MIX AND
MELTING AT THE START. AGAIN...HOW FAR NW AND HOW MUCH QPF LEAVE SNOW
AND ASSOCIATED RESULTS A BELOW AVG FCST ATTM.

SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
QUIET WEATHER AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION. UPPER FLOW
TURNS ZONAL...SO TEMPS SHOULD BE SEASONABLY COOL.

WEDNESDAY...
ANOTHER SOUTHERN STREAMER...THE 3RD IN A ROW /TODAYS ...SAT NIGHT AND
NEXT WED/ .. SHOULD BE POISED TO MOVE THROUGH THE NE USA. TRACK
UNCERTAINTY. ATTM POPS RAISED TO 50 PCT TO GIVE MORE VISIBILITY TO AN
EVENT. GFS BL TEMPS ARE COLD ENOUGH FOR ICE AND OR SNOW AT THE START
OVER THE NW AND ECMWF IS RATHER COLD THRU MOST OF THE EVENT OVER A
SLIGHTLY LARGER PORTION OF OUR FA.

GUSTS FRI-MIDDAY MONDAY ARE NAM MXG HTS AND GUST ALG THRU 12Z SUN AND
GFS MXG HTS AND GUST ALG THEREAFTER WITH GUSTS THROUGHOUT BLENDED
WITH THE 4PM WED KBOX FCST.

GUSTS BEYOND MONDAY ARE GFS MOS BLENDED WITH THE 4PM WED FCST GUSTS.

&&

.AVIATION /10Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
IFR CONDITIONS RAPIDLY IMPROVE TO VFR FROM SW TO NE STARTING AROUND
12Z THIS MORNING...PROBABLY REACHING BOS AROUND 15Z. HEAVY SHOWERS
WILL EXIT IN THAT TIME FRAME AS WELL. SFC WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO
INCREASE EARLY THIS MORNING...WITH SOUTHERLY SFC GUSTS AROUND 40
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST. LLWS WILL BE AN ISSUE UNTIL
ABOUT 15Z. AFTER 15Z...DRY WEATHER WILL RESUME...BUT SWLY SFC WINDS
MAY GUST AROUND 40 KT THROUGH 20Z OR SO.

FOR TONIGHT...VFR WITH DIMINISHING WINDS.

OUTLOOK /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

FRIDAY...VFR.

SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN SNOW OR
RAIN...ESPECIALLY COAST BUT CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE
COVERAGE OF PRECIPITATION. KACK APPEARS HIGH PROB FOR RAIN. ELSEWHERE
LESSER CONFIDENCE. NLY GUSTS 25-35 KT POSSIBLE CC AND THE ISLANDS
SAT NIGHT.

SUNDAY-MONDAY...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...GALES WARNINGS REMAIN HOISTED AS STRONG SFC LOW PRESSURE
MOVES ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND SOUTHERLY GALES WILL SWITCH TO
SOUTHWESTERLY MID MORNING AND CONTINUE TO GUST 40-45 KT THROUGH MID
TO LATE AFTERNOON. SEAS WILL BUILD AND BECOME QUITE ROUGH. WINDS WILL
DIMINISH TONIGHT...BUT SEAS WILL BE SLOWER TO DO SO.

OUTLOOK /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...WINDS WILL BE LESS THAN SMALL CRAFT
CRITERIA. SEAS WILL SUBSIDE...BUT LINGER ABOVE 5 FEET ON THE
SOUTHEASTERN OUTER WATERS.

SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...COASTAL LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS WELL
SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET AND KEEP THE HEAVIEST WEATHER WELL OFFSHORE.
THE LOW WILL INTENSIFY ENOUGH TO SPREAD SMALL CRAFT WINDS AND SEAS
INTO THE SOUTHERN AND SOUTHEAST WATERS. LOW PROB GALE E AND S OF CC
AND ACK.

SUNDAY...WINDS AND SEAS DIMINISH BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS LATE.

MONDAY...WINDS AND SEAS REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
STRONG SOUTH WIND EARLY THIS MORNING IS EXPECTED TO GENERATE A STORM
SURGE OF 1.5 TO 2.0 FT ALONG THE OUTER SOUTH COAST...AROUND 2 FEET IN
BUZZARDS BAY...AND 2 TO 3 FT IN THE UPPER PART OF NARRAGANSETT BAY
FOR THE MORNING HIGH TIDE. ALONG THE OUTER SOUTH COAST OF RHODE
ISLAND...ANTICIPATE 10 TO 14 FT SEAS A SHORT DISTANCE OFFSHORE. THIS
LOOKS TO PRODUCE MINOR TO MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE RI
COASTLINE AND THE BRISTOL COUNTY MA COASTLINE. GIVEN THAT WE ARE IN A
FULL MOON SPRING TIDE CYCLE TO START WITH...COASTAL FLOOD WARNINGS
CONTINUE FOR THAT AREA. FURTHER EAST ACROSS THE REST OF BUZZARDS
BAY...BLOCK ISLAND...AND THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST FACING SHORES OF
CAPE COD...MARTHAS VINEYARD AND NANTUCKET...A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY
HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MINOR COASTAL FLOODING.

COASTAL FLOODING IS NOT A SIGNIFICANT CONCERN FOR THE MA EAST COAST
WITH THIS WIND DIRECTION. HOWEVER...SPLASH OVER IS POSSIBLE AROUND
THE TIME OF THE LATE MORNING HIGH TIDE ALONG THE NORTH SHORE FROM
REVERE TO GLOUCESTER AND AT PROVINCETOWN HARBOR.

&&
