TODAY AND TONIGHT. A COASTAL STORM WILL LIKELY BRING HEAVY SNOW TO
MUCH OF THE REGION BEGINNING LATER SATURDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY. COLD
WEATHER CONTINUES INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK ALONG WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW
SHOWERS MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

1230 PM UPDATE...

NOT MUCH CHANGE TO THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION. NOTING A REFLECTIVITY
PICKING UP ON SOME DEVELOPING SNOW SHOWERS ALONG AND NORTH OF THE
MASS-PIKE. FEEL FORECASTED POP TRENDS FOR SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE
OF SNOW-SQUALLS CONTINUES TO APPLY. LIGHT ACCUMS. SLIGHT
MODERATION OF FORECASTED TEMPS BY A DEGREE OR TWO...BUT HIGHS
REMAIN RELATIVELY UNCHANGED.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

PER 12Z CHATHAM SOUNDING...BOUNDARY LAYER TO BECOME WELL-MIXED UP
TO H85 ALLOWING FOR THE MIX-DOWN OF FASTER MOMENTUM AND DRIER AIR
TO THE SURFACE. ALREADY WESTERLY GUSTS BEING REPORTED AROUND 25
MPH WITH GALES OVER THE ADJACENT WATERS. WINDS JUST ABOVE THE
SURFACE ARE REPORTING SUSTAINED AROUND 40 MPH. WILL CONTINUE WITH
HEADLINES AS NECESSARY. GUSTS ACROSS THE INTERIOR SHOULD REMAIN
BELOW WIND ADVISORY THRESHOLDS...MAY NEED TO CONSIDERING GALES FOR
THE INNER WATERS ALONG THE SHORES.

NEAR-TERM GUIDANCE EXHIBITING MODEST LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND
DECENT MOISTURE WITHIN AN UNSTABLE PROFILE AHEAD OF THE ARCTIC
FRONT PRESENTLY PUSHING SOUTH OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. HAVE THUS
PLACED SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SNOW
SQUALLS DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE FRONT /HRRR WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST
SUCH OUTCOMES/. LOW VISIBILITIES BEING REPORTED UPSTREAM WILL
CERTAINLY BE PLAUSIBLE WITH ANY SNOW ACTIVITY. LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS
ARE EVEN POSSIBLE.

VERY COLD AIR IN PLACE...WILL CONTINUE WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE
FORECAST WITH VALUES AROUND THE MID- TO UPPER-20S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...

TONIGHT...LARGE HIGH PRES BUILDS CROSSES CENTRAL CANADA INTO
QUEBEC THROUGH THE NIGHT. H85 TEMPS DROP TO -11C TO -17C BY EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING FROM S-N...SO TEMPS WILL PLUMMET TO ZERO TO 5
ABOVE ACROSS S NH RANGING TO 15-20 ALONG THE IMMEDIATE S COAST.

THE HIGH WILL SHIFT INTO N NH/W ME LATE AT NIGHT...ORIENTING NW TO
SE INTO THE GULF OF MAINE. THE ARCTIC FRONT THAT PASSES THROUGH
TODAY WILL STALL OVER S NJ WHILE LOW PRES DEVELOPS ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS TO CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. UPPER LEVEL
TROUGHING DEVELOPS WITH THIS LOW...ALLOWING H5 WINDS TO BACK TO
W-SW OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL SEND MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS TOWARD
THE REGION MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. MODELS ARE TRYING TO BRING SOME
SNOW INTO SOUTHERN AREAS TOWARD DAYBREAK. HAVE KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE
TO LOW CHANCE POPS GOING FOR NOW.

SATURDAY...LOW PRES WILL CONTINUE TO FORM AS IT CROSSES THE MID
APPALACHIANS DURING THE DAY...THEN REDEVELOPING OFF THE MID ATLC
COAST. THE HIGH OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND SLOWLY SHIFTS NE INTO
THE MARITIMES. THIS IS A SET UP FOR MOISTURE TO PUSH INTO THE
REGION ON E WINDS. WITH THE VERY COLD DOME OF AIR OVER THE
REGION...EXPECT SNOW TO BREAK OUT...WITH THE BEST SHOT DURING THE
AFTERNOON AS THE LOWER LEVELS MOISTEN UP.

WILL SEE SOME ACCUMULATIONS BY SATURDAY EVENING...BUT LOOKS LIKE
IT SHOULD BE AROUND AN INCH OR SO ACROSS EASTERN AND CENTRAL AREAS
POSSIBLY UP TO 3 INCHES OVER THE E SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES BY
EVENING AS BETTER INFLUX OF MOISTURE WORKS IN WITH THE SYSTEM.

DAYTIME HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER TEENS OVER S NH TO THE
LOWER 30S ALONG THE S COAST...POSSIBLY REACHING THE MID 30S BY
LATE IN THE DAY AS E WINDS FRESHEN ACROSS THE ISLANDS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...

HIGHLIGHTS...

*** HEAVY SNOW APPEARING MORE LIKELY SAT NIGHT INTO EARLY SUN ***

MODEL GUIDANCE/UNCERTAINTY...

00Z MODELS INCLUDING THE GEFS/ECMWF AND 12Z/12 ECENS CONTINUE TO
REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON A MOIST SOUTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE
EJECTING NORTHEAST TOWARD THE REGION SAT...WITH ITS SURFACE
REFLECTION /A COASTAL LOW/ PASSING IN THE VICINITY OF NANTUCKET SUN
MORNING. MODEL QPF IS ALSO IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT /ESPECIALLY AT
THIS TIME RANGE/ WITH A MODERATE TO HIGH PROBABILITY OF UP TO 1 INCH
QPF ACROSS CT/RI AND CENTRAL-EASTERN MA INTO SOUTHEAST NH. THE
UNCERTAINTY LIES IN THE TRACK OF THE H85 LOW AND RESULTANT THERMAL
FIELDS. THE NAM IS ON THE SOUTHERN MOST EDGE OF THE GUIDANCE
ENVELOPE WITH ITS H85 CIRCULATION TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND COAST. THIS CUTS OFF THE NORTHWARD PROGRESSION OF THE MID
LVL TONGUE OF WARM AIR...YIELDING A COLDER/SNOWIER SOLUTION WITH
HEAVY SNOW ALL THE WAY TO THE SOUTH COAST. MEANWHILE THE 00Z GFS IS
ON THE OTHER EXTREME...WARMEST OF THE 00Z GUID WITH MLVL WARM TONGUE
INTO MA/NH BORDER 12Z SUN. THIS WOULD SUPPORT SLEET MIXING WITH SNOW
TO THE MA/NH BORDER. THE 00Z ECMWF OFFERS A NICE COMPROMISE
SPLITTING THE DIFFERENCE...ALTHOUGH SLIGHTLY CLOSER TO THE GFS THAN
THE NAM. HOWEVER THE 21Z SREF PROVIDES SOME SUPPORT TO THE COLDER
NAM. PERHAPS THE HIGHER RESOLUTION OF THE NAM IS ON TO
SOMETHING...AS THE LOW LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE MAY SETTLE FARTHER
SOUTHWARD GIVEN POLAR AIRMASS OVER THE REGION ALONG WITH ARCTIC HIGH
REMAINING OVER THE MARITIMES.

GIVEN THE TIME RANGE HERE AND UNCERTAINTY...STILL 48-60HRS AWAY
THINK A MODEL BLEND IS STILL OUR FRIEND. SO WE WILL FOLLOW A MODEL
CONSENSUS WITH A SOLUTION CLOSER TO THE 00Z ECMWF AND 21Z SREF. THIS
SUPPORTS A MODERATE TO HIGH RISK OF 6+ INCHES OF SNOWFALL BEFORE ANY
POSSIBLE CHANGEOVER TO NORTHERN CT/NORTHERN RI AND EXTENDING
NORTHEAST INTO THE GREATER BOSTON AREA. THIS ALSO INCLUDES WESTERN-
CENTRAL MA INTO SOUTHERN NH. THUS WILL ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH
FOR THIS AREA. FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS SOUTHERN HALF OF RI INTO
SOUTHEAST MA...THERE IS A LOW RISK OF 6+ INCHES BEFORE A CHANGEOVER
BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH AT THIS TIME RANGE TO HOIST A
WINTER STORM WATCH.

TIMING...GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT THAT SNOW WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION
SAT AFTN FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST. ALSO VERY GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT
THAT THE STEADY/HEAVIER SNOW WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL SAT NIGHT INTO
EARLY SUN MORNING.

QPF/PTYPE/SNOWFALL POTENTIAL...

QPF...00Z GFS/NAM AND ECMWF IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT STORM TOTAL QPF
UP TO 1.25 INCHES IS POSSIBLE ACROSS CT/RI/CENTRAL-EASTERN MA INTO
SOUTHEAST NH. 00Z GEFS AS WELL WITH PROBS OF 60-70% FOR QPF AT LEAST
1 INCH.

PTYPE...STILL TOO EARLY TO NAIL DOWN THE EXACT TRANSITION TO MIXED
PRECIP. HOWEVER A MODEL BLEND BRINGS A WINTRY MIX AS FAR NORTH AND
BRIEFLY INTO NORTHERN CT-RI-SOUTHERN WORCESTER COUNTY AND INTO THE
GREATER BOSTON AREA BETWEEN 09Z-12Z. A COASTAL FRONT MAY DEVELOP
ACROSS EASTERN MA INTO RI AS ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE OVER SOUTHEAST
QUEBEC INTO NEW BRUNSWICK WEDGES COLD AIR DOWN THE EASTERN NEW
ENGLAND COASTLINE. THIS COMBINED WITH RELATIVELY EARLY SEASON WARM
OCEAN TEMPS WILL ENHANCE THE LOW LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE ALONG THE
COAST. THIS IN ADDITION TO PRES FALL CENTER TRACKING ALONG OR NEAR
THE SOUTH COAST OF NEW ENGLAND WILL FACILITATE A COASTAL FRONT
WITH MORE OF A NORTHERLY SURFACE WIND COMPONENT ACROSS NORTHEAST
MA INTO NORTHERN RI. THIS WILL HELP DELAY LOW LEVEL WARMING ACROSS
THIS REGION.

SNOWFALL POTENTIAL...AS MENTIONED ABOVE ITS STILL TOO EARLY TO NAIL
DOWN SPECIFICS REGARDING THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE TRANSITION LINE
FROM SNOW/SLEET/FREEZING RAIN TO ALL RAIN. HOWEVER A MODEL BLEND
SUPPORTS ALL SNOW ACROSS NORTHWEST MA INTO SOUTHERN NH. QPF
APPROACHES AN INCH OVER THIS AREA...SO 8-12 INCHES IS POSSIBLE.
FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS NORTHERN CT-RI-GREATER BOSTON AREA A BRIEF
CHANGE TO SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN IS POSSIBLE LATE SAT NIGHT INTO
SUN MORNING. HOWEVER THE BULK OF THE QPF HAS FALLEN BY THAT TIME
YIELDING A MODERATE RISK OF 5-9 INCHES ACROSS THIS AREA. AS A RESULT
WILL ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH TO HIGHLIGHT THIS POTENTIAL AS WELL
AS A PERIOD OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN POSSIBLE. FARTHER SOUTH
ACROSS SOUTHEAST MA INTO SOUTHERN RI THE PROBABILITY INCREASES FOR
SNOW TO CHANGE TO A WINTRY MIX SOONER...YIELDING PRELIMINARY SNOW
TOTALS OF 2-5 INCHES.

NEXT WEEK...

THE THEME IS FOR BELOW NORMAL TEMPS TO CONTINUE AS LONG WAVE TROUGH
AND ITS ASSOCIATED BELOW NORMAL HEIGHTS PERSIST OVER THE NORTHEAST.
ALTHOUGH NOT AS BITTERLY COLD AS THE CURRENT ARCTIC AIRMASS OVER THE
REGION. NEXT SHORT WAVE ROTATES THROUGH THE LONG WAVE TROUGH FROM
LATE MON NGT INTO TUE NGT. WEAK SURFACE REFLECTION MOVES ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND DURING THIS TIME BEFORE BOMBING OUT OVER THE
MARITIMES. THUS LOOKS LIKE A SNOW SHOWER EVENT FOR SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND MON NGT THRU TUE NIGHT.

FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

1030 AM UPDATE...

WESTERLY WINDS REACHING GALE FORCE WITH ROUGH SEAS 5 TO 9 FEET ON
THE OUTER WATERS. MAY NEED TO PUT UP HEADLINES FOR THE NEAR-SHORE
WATERS FOR GALES. ARCTIC FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE WATERS TOWARDS
EVENING BEHIND WHICH WINDS WILL BACK MORE NORTHWESTERLY AND
DIMINISH INTO THIS EVENING. SEAS WILL BEGIN TO LESSEN.

TONIGHT...LEFTOVER GALES AND SMALL CRAFTS WILL END AS WINDS AND
SEAS DIMINISH BY AROUND MIDNIGHT. WINDS SHIFT TO N AFTER MIDNIGHT.
WINDS AND SEAS MAY REMAIN AT OR ABOVE SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA THROUGH
MOST OF THE NIGHT ON THE EASTERN OUTER WATERS.

SATURDAY...NE WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT
LEVELS FOR MOST OF THE WATERS. MAY SEE SOME GUSTS UP TO 25 KT ON
THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS DURING THE AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

SAT NIGHT AND SUN...HIGH RISK OF NE GALES AS COASTAL LOW TRACKS NEAR
NANTUCKET 12Z/7AM SUNDAY. LOW VSBY IN HEAVY SNOW CHANGING TO
SLEET/FREEZING RAIN AND ALL RAIN. SEAS BUILD 15-20 FT ACROSS THE
EASTERN MA WATERS EARLY SUN. VSBY IMPROVES SUN AFTN AS PRECIP TAPERS
OFF.

MON/TUE...ANOTHER SURGE OF COLD AIR ON NW GALES LIKELY MON THEN
EASING TUE AS HIGH PRES BUILDS OVER THE NE.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...

MODERATE RISK OF MINOR COASTAL FLOODING FOR THE EASTERN MA COASTLINE
DURING THE SUN MORNING HIGH TIDE CYCLE. SURGE GUIDANCE OFFERS A 1.5
FT SURGE BUT COULD SEE VALUES CLOSER TO 2 FT GIVEN KNOWN LOW BIAS ON
STRONG NE WINDS. A 2 FT SURGE WILL BRING STORM TIDES ABOUT 1 FT
BELOW FLOOD STAGE FOR MOST LOCATIONS. HOWEVER LARGE WAVE ACTION JUST
OFFSHORE ON THE ORDER OF 15-20 FT MAY BE SUFFICIENT FOR MINOR
COASTAL FLOODING. NO COASTAL FLOOD WATCH AS MODERATE TO MAJOR
FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED. AT THIS TIME A VERY LOW RISK OF ISOLATED
MODERATE FLOODING.
