What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind chill advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Boston/Norton, MA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind chill advisory went out at Feb 4, 10:06 PM EST, 5 hours 43 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 4, 10:06 PM EST, 5 hours 43 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1006 PM EST WED FEB 4 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION AND STALL SOUTH OF THE AREA
OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL BRING ABOUT SOME LIGHT SNOWS ACROSS THE
AREA. LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING OFFSHORE WILL BRING BITTERLY COLD
AIR INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BY TOMORROW NIGHT. PERIODS OF LIGHT
SNOW OR FLURRIES ARE POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND WITH A MORE SIGNIFICANT
SNOWFALL POSSIBLE LATER SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
10 PM UPDATE...LIGHT SNOW HAS STARTED TO MOVE INTO NORTHWESTERN
MASSACHUSETTS THIS EVENING. IT IS STRUGGLING TO OVERCOME THE DRY
AIR OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SO ACTUAL OBSERVATIONS OF SNOW ARE
LAGGING THE RADAR RETURNS. THESE TRENDS ARE LINING UP WITH THE
CURRENT FORECAST SO MADE VERY FEW UPDATES TO THE FORECAST. MAINLY
JUST ADJUSTED TEMPERATURES FOR THE LATEST TRENDS.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
LOOKING AT THE COLUMN...THE BULK OF THE MOISTURE IS BETWEEN THE
SFC AND H5. HOWEVER...DO SEE A BIT BETTER LOW LVL F-GEN WITH
BETTER OMEGA IN THE DENDRITE ZONE THAN WAS APPARENT THIS MORNING.
THEREFORE...SUSPECT THAT /ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF NW
MA/ PERIODS OF MODERATE SNOWS ARE POSSIBLE AS THE FRONT PASSES.
QPF VS. SNOW RATIOS SUGGEST THE POSSIBILITY OF 3+ IN PORTIONS OF
THE E SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES INT NRN WORCESTER COUNTY...SO WILL
BE HOISTING A WINTER WX ADVISORY FOR THIS AREA.
FURTHER E...THE FRONT LOSES A LOT OF IT/S DYNAMIC SUPPORT AS
RAPIDLY DEEPENING LOW PRES OFF THE CAROLINAS USURPS MUCH OF THE
MOISTURE AND JET ENERGY. A LOOK AT BUFKIT DATA ALSO SHOWS A DRIER
COLUMN FURTHER E. THEREFORE...EXPECT THAT SNOWS WILL DIMINISH IN
INTENSITY DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ESPECIALLY E OF A BDL-
ORH-BED LINE. DO THINK THAT SOME SNOWS ARE LIKELY TO IMPACT THE
MORNING COMMUTE ACROSS ALL OF SRN NEW ENGLAND...BUT ACTUAL TOTALS
ARE LIKELY TO BE BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA AT THIS TIME.
STILL...SOMETHING TO WATCH IN CASE A GREATER IMPACT IS NOTED FOR
THE COMMUTE FURTHER E BY NEW DATA OVERNIGHT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
THURSDAY...
RAPIDLY DEEPENING BUT VERY PROGRESSIVE LOW PRES IS EXPECTED TO
SLIDE ALONG A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO THE SE OF NEW ENGLAND
THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW. WHILE THE OVERALL UPPER LVL PHASING
OCCURS TOO FAR EAST...THERE COULD BE A BIT OF WRAP AROUND SNOWS
THAT BRUSH E MA...ENHANCED BY OCEAN EFFECT AS MID LVLS RAPIDLY
COOL. AT THIS TIME...GIVEN THAT THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN MODELS OF
THE DEEPENING BEING TOO FAR EAST AND TOO LATE...DON/T HAVE ENOUGH
CONFIDENCE TO GO WITH ANY HEADLINES ACROSS E MA. HOWEVER...WILL
NEED TO WATCH THE EXTREMITIES SUCH AS CAPE ANN/COD AND
NANTUCKET...WHERE BETTER OCEAN ENHANCEMENT IS POSSIBLE. A COUPLE
OF THESE SPOTS ARE COULD APPROACH ADVISORY LEVEL SNOWFALLS BEFORE
IT ENDS DURING THE EVENING HOURS. EITHER WAY...EXPECT SNOWS TO BE
ENDING DURING THE MORNING FOR THE INTERIOR...AND SLOWLY
DIMINISHING FOR CENTRAL MA/RI THROUGH ABOUT MID DAY. IN ESSENCE
OVERALL SNOW AMOUNTS OF A COATING TO GENERALLY AROUND 2 INCHES ARE
EXPECTED TO BE FALLING ACROSS E CT...CENTRAL AND E MA...AND RI
DURING THE AM COMMUTE TIME...BUT THESE FALL BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS.
ONE THING WE DO HAVE HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR HERE IS VERY STRONG COLD
ADVECTION OCCURRING IN THE STRONG ISALLOBARIC FLOW BEHIND THIS
DEEPENING LOW PRES. THE GUSTY NW WINDS ARE LIKELY TO REACH 20-30
MPH AT TIMES DURING THE AFTERNOON. TEMPS ARE ALSO LIKELY TO REACH
THEIR MAX EARLY...AND DECLINE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
THEREFORE...WIND CHILLS OUTSIDE OF WHERE IT/S SNOWING ARE LIKELY
TO DROP BACK INTO THE LOW TEENS AND SINGLE DIGITS FOR MUCH OF THE
DAY. THIS COLD ADVECTION IS ALSO LIKELY TO ALLOW EVEN THE OCEAN
ENHANCED SNOWS TO COME TO AN END AS THE GOOD FETCH IS LOST BY
EVENING.
THURSDAY NIGHT...
VERY STRONG COLD ADVECTION WITH MODERATE PRES GRADIENT ACROSS THE
AREA FOR MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THIS SUGGESTS RAPIDLY
DECLINING AMBIENT TEMPS ALONG WITH WIND CHILLS THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. BEST CHANCE FOR REACHING -25F OR LOWER /WARNING
CRITERIA/ IS IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF NW MA...BUT DON/T HAVE
ENOUGH CONFIDENCE IN GOING WITH A WATCH AT THIS TIME AS THE
GRADIENT DOES SHOW SIGNS OF SLACKENING TOWARD THE EARLY AM HOURS.
WIND CHILL ADVISORIES ARE LIKELY GOING TO BE NEEDED ACROSS MUCH OF
THE AREA HOWEVER...AS WIND CHILLS DROP BACK INTO THE NEGATIVE
TEENS AND LOW TWENTIES. RISK FOR OCEAN EFFECT SNOWS LINGERS ON
CAPE COD/NANTUCKET...BUT THESE TOO LOSE THEIR FETCH DURING THE
MORNING.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
BIG PICTURE...
OVERALL PATTERN SHOWS RIDGE WEST/TROUGH EAST...CONTINUING THE
PATTERN OF WARMER TEMPS WEST AND COLDER TEMPS EAST. SHORTWAVES MOVE
THROUGH THE EASTERN TROUGH ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE
MOVES ASHORE ON THE PACIFIC COAST SATURDAY...MOVES THROUGH THE
WESTERN RIDGE...AND AMPLIFIES IN THE PLAINS MONDAY...AND CROSSES THE
NORTHEAST USA MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY.
MODEL CONTOUR HEIGHTS ARE SIMILAR THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH SMALL
DIFFERENCES ARISING DURING EARLY NEXT WEEK. WE USED A BLEND OF
GUIDANCE THROUGH THE PERIOD. PRECIP AMOUNTS WERE CRAFTED FROM A
BLEND OF THE 12Z GFS/12Z ECMWF AND TWO INTERNAL GRID FIELDS.
CONFIDENCE IS MODERATE FOR FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...AND LOW FOR
SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
DAILIES...
FRIDAY-SATURDAY... HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN USA FRIDAY MORNING
SHIFTS SOUTH FRIDAY AFTERNOON. ALBERTA CLIPPER MOVES THROUGH THE
GREAT LAKES FRIDAY AND PASSES NORTH OF NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY...BUT
SWINGS A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REGION DURING SATURDAY. INCREASING
MOISTURE AT MID AND HIGH LEVELS BUT COLD AND DRY BENEATH. THIS
SUPPORTS THE IDEA OF AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS FRIDAY BUT MIXED WITH
SUN. THEN THICKENING CLOUDS SATURDAY AS THE FRONT APPROACHES AND
MOVES THROUGH. DYNAMICS ARE WEAK BUT PRESENT ALONG WITH MOISTURE
FROM SURFACE TO JET LEVEL. PROBABLY SOME LIGHT SNOW OR SNOW SHOWERS
WITH LIGHT ACCUMS...MAINLY SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING.
FORECAST TEMPS IN THE MIXED LAYER FRIDAY ARE EQUIVALENT TO -21C
TO -23C AT 850 MB. THIS WOULD SUPPORT MAX SFC TEMPS IN THE
TEENS...MAYBE LOW 20S ALONG THE SOUTH COAST. CLOUDS WILL KEEP
FRIDAY NIGHT A LITTLE LESS COLD THAN THURSDAY NIGHT WITH AN
ESTIMATED RANGE OF 5 TO 15 ABOVE. SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT SATURDAY WILL BRING SFC MAX TEMPS UP A LITTLE MORE...MID 20S
TO LOWER 30S.
SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY... THE COLD FRONT WILL STALL SOUTH OF NEW
ENGLAND AS THE UPPER FLOW TURNS MORE WEST-EAST. SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTH INTO QUEBEC AND THE MARITIMES DURING THE EARLY
WEEK. THIS WILL SERVE TO HOLD COLD AIR IN THE NORTHEAST USA. IT WILL
ALSO SET UP AN EAST-NORTHEAST WIND OFF THE GULF OF MAINE INTO
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THE STEADY FLOW WILL BRING CLOUDS THROUGH THE
PERIOD. A WEAK NORTHERN JET MOVES OVERHEAD SUNDAY AND MAY INDUCE
SOME LIFT OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...ENOUGH TO ENCOURAGE A PERIOD
OF LIGHT SNOW OVER THE REGION.
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST SHORTWAVE WILL REACH THE PLAINS SUNDAY AND
MOVE OVER THE STALLED FRONT. THIS WILL GENERATE A LOW PRESSURE WAVE
ALONG THE FRONT...AND BOTH THE SHORTWAVE AND SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE
EAST. ALL MODELS AGREE THAT THE SHORTWAVE WILL DEEPEN AS IT
APPROACHES THE ATLANTIC COAST WHICH WILL TURN THE UPPER FLOW
SOUTHWEST AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM. THIS WOULD DRAW DEEP MOISTURE UP THE
COAST MONDAY AND TUESDAY OVERRUNNING THE STALLED FRONT AS THE WAVE
APPROACHES AND THEN PASSES TO OUR SOUTH. THE COMBINATION OF THE
MOISTURE WITH DEEPENING LIFT WILL SUPPORT A PROLONGED PERIOD OF
ACCUMULATING SNOW. THIS WOULD BE A PLOWABLE SNOW SPREAD OVER A 72-
HOUR PERIOD...WITH STRONGEST RATES MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING.
BECAUSE THE SHORTWAVE IS CURRENTLY OVER THE MID-PACIFIC...IT IS TOO
SOON TO BE CONFIDENT ON DETAILS. CONFIDENCE SHOULD INCREASE OVER
THE WEEKEND AS THE SHORTWAVE COMES ASHORE IN THE WEST.
WEDNESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN WITH COLD DRY WEATHER.

FEET. NORTHEAST GALES ARE POSSIBLE DURING THIS PERIOD ESPECIALLY ON
