AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
125 PM EST SUN FEB 22 2009
.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL PUSH THROUGH THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES THIS
AFTERNOON WHILE A SECOND LOW QUICKLY DEVELOPS SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND.
THIS LOW WILL PUSH ALONG THE SOUTH COAST...CROSSING CAPE COD THIS
EVENING...THEN MOVING TO THE GULF OF MAINE TONIGHT. THIS LOW WILL
BRING SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS INLAND AREAS...ALONG WITH GUSTY
WINDS ALONG THE COAST TONIGHT INTO MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING
DRIER WEATHER FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE WORK WEEK. ANOTHER STORM
MOVING OUT OF THE PLAINS MAY BRING THE NEXT PRECIPITATION THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THE AIRMASS TOOK A BIT LONGER TO SATURATE...BUT PRECIP HAS PUSHED
INTO MOST AREAS BY MIDDAY. TEMPS WERE ALSO A BIT WARMER THAN
FORECAST...BUT HAVE RECEIVED REPORTS OF A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW OR
ALL SNOW OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF W MA AND SW NH. NOTING PRES
DROPS OF AT LEAST 5 MB/3HRS ACROSS SE MA/RI AS THE LOW TAKES SHAPE
OFF THE NJ COAST. ALSO NOTED TEMP DROPPED 4 DEGS IN AN HOUR /16-17Z/
AT KBDL AS WINDS WENT TO LIGHT NORTH. EXPECT WINDS TO SHIFT AROUND
TO MORE NORTHERLY ACROSS INTERIOR AREAS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
APPEARS THE SHORT RANGE MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN PUSHING THIS LOW
ALONG THE S COAST OF MA/RI TO AROUND BUZZARDS BAY OR LOWER CAPE COD
THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL ALLOW COLDER AIR TO FILTER IN. EXPECT
TEMPS TO DROP THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE INTERIOR. WITH RAPID
INTENSIFICATION...EXPECT PERIODS OF HEAVY SNOW AS A FEW BANDS MAY
TRY TO GET GOING. THESE BANDS MAY WRAP BACK INTO S NH/N CENTRAL AND
NE MA LATER THIS AFTERNOON. WITH COLDER TEMPS MOVING IN...COULD SEE
SNOW FALLING HEAVILY AT TIMES EVEN INTO INTERIOR ESSEX COUNTY. BASED
ON THIS...ISSUED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THIS AREA STARTING
AROUND 5 PM AS THE PRECIP CHANGES OVER TO SNOW. OTHERWISE...
REMAINDER OF WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES REMAIN UNCHANGED FOR NOW.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
MODELS STILL SHOWING CONTINUED RAPID INTENSIFICATION OF THE LOW AS
IT MOVES NE TO THE GULF OF MAINE TONIGHT...THEN TO NEAR THE BAY OF
FUNDY BY MONDAY MORNING. WITH SUCH INTENSIFICATION...AS WELL AS THE
H7 LOW CUTTING OFF NEAR THE S MAINE COAST EARLY TONIGHT...THIS WILL
WHIP IN MOISTURE AND COLDER TEMPS INTO NE MA/S NH...WHICH WILL KEEP
THE SNOW GOING THERE THROUGH AROUND MIDNIGHT. MAY STILL SEE BANDS OF
HEAVY SNOW...AND SOME LIGHTER SNOW MAY WORK ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE
GREATER BOSTON AREA AND ROUTE 128 BELT. THIS IS BELOW CRITERIA FOR
NOW...BUT WILL MONITOR THIS FOR THE AFTERNOON UPDATE. STILL EXPECT
PRECIP TO TAPER OFF BY AROUND 06Z...THOUGH SOME SNOW SHOWERS MAY
LINGER OVER N MA/S NH A BIT LATER.
ANOTHER ASPECT OF THIS LOW WILL BE THE INCREASING NW-W WINDS
TONIGHT. AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO DEEPEN OVER THE GULF OF MAINE...
THEN INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL COMBINE WITH COLD AIR
ADVECTION TO BRING W-NW WINDS UP. WILL LIKELY NEED AT LEAST A WIND
ADVISORY FOR E COASTAL MA FOR LATER TONIGHT...AND POSSIBLY INTO
MONDAY MORNING. WILL FINALIZE THINKING ON EXTEND AND TIMING OF THIS
FOR THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE.
THE TRAILING UPPER TROF MOVES ACROSS ON MONDAY WITH THE UPPER COLD
POOL OVERHEAD AT THAT TIME AS WELL. FORECASTS SHOW SUFFICIENT
MOISTURE TO BE WORKED ON BY THE LIFT AND DECREASED STABILITY...
ENOUGH FOR DIURNAL CLOUDS...AND A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS MAINLY IN
THE HIGHLANDS AND NORTH OF THE MASS PIKE.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE REGION MONDAY
NIGHT. IT/LL BE A BRISK NIGHT WITH WINDS REMAINING UP AS SFC PRES
GRADIENT REMAINS TIGHT. SCT SNOW SHOWERS REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH
ABOUT MIDNIGHT.
SFC HIPRES RIDGING SLOWLY BUILDS EASTWARD AND INTO NEW ENGLAND
TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL RESULT IN FAIR WEATHER AND
DIMINISHING WINDS.
THE 00Z ECMWF AND GFS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE REST OF THE
WEEK AND HAVE THEREFORE FOLLOWED THEIR LEAD. SFC HIPRES CRESTS
OVERHEAD ON WEDNESDAY RESULTING IN A MOSTLY SUNNY DAY. THE HIGH MOVES
OFFSHORE WED NIGHT AS A WAA PATTERN TAKES SHAPE. AT THIS POINT...IT
LOOKS AS THO WED NIGHT WILL REMAIN DRY. HOWEVER...THERE MAY BE A FEW
SPRINKLES OR SOME SCT VERY LIGHT PCPN DURING THE DAY THURS DEPENDING
ON HOW MOIST THE LOW LEVELS GET.
LOW PRESSURE RIDES NEWD THROUGH THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES THURSDAY
NIGHT AND FRIDAY. IT/S TRAILING COLD FRONT IS PROGGED TO MOVE ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SOMETIME FRIDAY OR FRIDAY NIGHT AND THIS SHOULD
BRING SHOWERS ALONG WITH GUSTY SOUTHERLIES. COLDER AND DRIER ON
SATURDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THIS AFTERNOON...THE BOUNDARY LAYER IS WARM ENOUGH FOR RAIN AT
BOS/PVD/FMH/HYA AND ACK SITES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WHERE WE EXPECT
MARGINAL IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS. ACROSS THE ORH/MHT SITES A BRIEF
PERIOD OF RAIN/SNOW MIX SHOULD CHANGE TO ALL SNOW BY MID AFTERNOON.
THE SNOW WILL COME DOWN MODERATE TO HEAVY AND RESULT IN CONDITIONS
DETERIORATING TO LIFR/VLIFR CONDITIONS. THE BDL/BAF SITES ARE IN
BETWEEN...BUT THEY TO SHOULD SEE THE MIXTURE OF RAIN/SNOW CHANGE TO
ALL SNOW DURING THE AFTERNOON RESULTING IN LIFR CONDITIONS.
TONIGHT...THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM RAPIDLY BOMBS AND WILL LIFT TO
OUR NORTHEAST. THE RAIN MAY CHANGE TO A BRIEF PERIOD OF SNOW ACROSS
THE COASTAL TERMINAL SITES...ESPECIALLY AT BOSTON. CONDITIONS AT OR
BELOW IFR SHOULD IMPROVE TO MARGINAL MVFR/VFR AFTER MIDNIGHT AS THE
PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE PRETTY MUCH OVER BY LATE EVENING.
HOWEVER...WE EXPECT VERY STRONG WEST WINDS TO DEVELOP AS THE LOW
BOMBS OUT TO OUR NORTH. WE EXPECT WESTERLY WIND GUSTS OF 35 TO 45
KNOTS WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS IN OUR EASTERN ZONES.
MONDAY...MAINLY VFR DESPITE SCATTERED TO BROKEN STRATO-CUMULUS
CLOUDS BETWEEN 3 AND 5 THOUSAND FEET...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
INTERIOR. THERE COULD BE A FEW BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE INTERIOR...WITH A PASSING SNOW SHOWER/FLURRY. WE ALSO
EXPECT 35 TO 40 KNOT NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS AS DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE
LIFTS INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES.
OUTLOOK /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MONDAY NIGHT...SOME MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE EARLY ACROSS THE HIGHER
TERRAIN...OTHERWISE VFR. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. VFR OR MVFR THURSDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
S-SE WINDS INCREASING ALONG THE S COAST AS LOW DEVELOPS S OF LONG
ISLAND. AS THE LOW MOVES ALONG THE S COAST TO NEAR THE LOWER CAPE OR
BUZZARDS BAY...EXPECT WINDS TO SHIFT RATHER QUICKLY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON OR EVENING. ONCE THE LOW MOVES TO MASS BAY AND EVENTUALLY
THE GULF OF MAINE TONIGHT...WILL RAPIDLY DEEPEN SO EXPECT W WINDS TO
AT LEAST GALE FORCE. AM CONSIDERING ISSUING A STORM WARNING FOR A
PORTION OF THE WATERS FOR LATER TONIGHT AND POSSIBLY INTO MONDAY
MORNING. KEPT GUSTS TO 45 KT FOR NOW. MAY START TO SEE WINDS
DIMINISHING LATER MONDAY AS THE LOW PUSHES INTO THE MARITIMES
RELAXING THE PRESSURE GRADIENT JUST A BIT.
OUTLOOK /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
GALES MONDAY NIGHT DIMINISH TO SCA LATE AT NIGHT. SCA GUSTS EXPECTED
FOR MUCH OF TUESDAY...THEN WILL DIMINISH TO BELOW 25 KT LATE IN THE
DAY. LIGHT WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TUE NIGHT AND WED AS HIPRES
BUILDS OVERHEAD. HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFFSHORE ON THURSDAY RESULTING
IN INCREASING SWLY WINDS...POSSIBLY TO SCA LEVELS.
