Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
358 PM EST Wed Dec 21 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Weak low pressure passing to the north will bring some light snow,
changing to rain showers tomorrow morning into afternoon. High
pressure then delivers dry weather and seasonable temperatures
Thursday night and Friday. A fast moving cold front will likely
bring a period of widespread rain Saturday. Christmas looks dry
with slightly above normal temperatures. Another low pressure
system may bring showers early next week which may begin as a
period of ice at the onset across the interior.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT/...
CI shield already beginning to block the remaining Sun across W
MA/CT this hour and continuing to push E. This represents the
moisture increase through the column from the top down as a
clipper system approaches from the W.

Below seasonable normals for most this afternoon, something
guidance continues to struggle to reflect well, so expect with
some early evening cooling, several locations will dip back into
the 20s initially before some modest warm advection picks up late
in advance of the approaching wave. Expect dry conditions through
midnight although a light flurry could begin across the N

&&

.SHORT TERM /MIDNIGHT TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Early morning through evening...

Clipper system will track out of the great lakes sliding through
N-Central New England during mid day. Climatologically, the S half
of a clipper is the dry side, with minimal impact and in general,
this system looks to be no different. However, at least across the
N tier of MA, do note a period of higher omega within the snow
growth regime between 10Z-14Z. At odds will be the moisture as
PWATs only top out around 0.5 inches. The moisture will take some
time to fully influence the lower lvls thanks to robust dwpt
depressions initially. Within the window, a period of light
snowfall is expected mainly in the early to mid morning hours with
light accumulations, mainly below an inch, although as one
approaches the border with VT/NH, the risk for near an inch total
by mid day is highest. Given the timing, will be issuing an SPS
for points across extreme N MA, due to impact to the AM commute.
This could be expanded further S late tonight.

Diurnal warming and slight low-lvl warm advection will lead to a
gradual shift from light snow to rain as drying returns aloft and
warming occurs near the sfc. Also, the region of peak lift shifts
S as the cold front attendant to the clipper approaches and moves
through mid day and early afternoon. This suggests some light rain
showers mainly across E RI and SE MA lingering into the afternoon
as snows/mix rain ends elsewhere.  Pops reflect this timing.

Temps are colder than previous forecast and most guidance due to
their inability to handle the airmass the last couple of days, and
the fact that mostly cloudy conditions are expected for the bulk
of the daylight hours. Looking for highs mainly in the mid 30s to
around 40.

Tomorrow night...
With precip ending through the afternoon, expect clearing through
the evening and into the overnight as winds shift NW, drier air
filters in, and subsidence begins to dry the column once again.
Some decoupling inland is expected while areas closer to the coast
are more likely to see modest NW breezes. Fetch is right for some
ocean effect clouds across the Cape, but with colder SSTs and
drier air, not expecting as much in the way of showers this time
around. Expect mins to range from the very low teens in NW MA to
the mid-upper 20s in SE MA/RI and the urban heat islands.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Highlights...

* Dry Fri with seasonable temperatures
* A period of widespread rain likely Saturday
* Dry with slightly above normal temps Christmas Day
* Showers possible Mon/Tue w/perhaps some interior ice at the onset

Model/Guidance Review...

12z deterministic and ensemble guidance in fairly good agreement
much of this period. The trend has been for a more robust/phased mid
level trough crossing the region Saturday along with a greater
moisture contribution from the southern stream. Thus looking wet
Saturday along with modest qpf. Other trend in the 12z guidance is
previous runs had the GFS and its ensembles much colder than the
Euro and its ensembles for Christmas Day.  Guidance has now trended
closer to the more modest EC/EPS solution.

Details...

Friday...

Chilly start to the day but thermal advection transition to low
level WAA as high pressure over the interior Mid Atlc shifts
eastward to south of New England. BUFKIT RH profiles suggest mostly
sunny conditions. Model soundings support west winds of 10-15 kt
along with highs of 40-45F. Slightly above normal for late Dec.
Overall a pleasant winter day with full sunshine...modest west winds
and temps at or slightly above normal.

Saturday...

Both deterministic and ensemble guidance have trended stronger/more
phased and wetter with mid level trough moving across our area
Saturday. This is a result of southern stream energy ejecting out of
closed low currently off the coast of Baja CA which eventually
phases with northern stream energy directly over New England Sat.
Southern stream moisture plume briefly peaks at +1 STD over southern
New England Sat before racing eastward offshore. The combination of
modest synoptic scale lift and deep layer moisture will result in a
period of widespread rain...possibly moderate to heavy for a time
with qpf amounts of 0.25 to 0.50. Model soundings suggest column
warm enough to support all rain most locations. The only exception
may be over western MA where snow and/or sleet may briefly mix in at
the start. System is progressive so could see some late day clearing
possible before sunset especially across CT and western-central MA.
As previous forecaster noted strong (55-65kt) low level SW jet moves
across the south coast during the day. Model soundings suggest
sufficient low level inversion to preclude stronger winds aloft from
mixing to the surface. Nonetheless enough gradient to support ssw
winds of 20 to 30 mph along the south coast.

Christmas Day...

Mid level trough moves offshore Sat evening with rising heights and
subsidence overspreading southern New England Sunday. Strong high
pressure (1043 mb) over Ontario slowly builds southeast toward New
England resulting in shallow colder air advecting southward. This
should yield highs of 40-45...upper 30s high terrain. These temps
are slightly warmer than normal however model soundings suggest
gusty NW winds up to 30 kt are possible. Therefore it won/t feel
warmer than normal.

Early next week...

Upper air pattern briefly amplifies with strong southeast/
subtropical ridge over FL and building up the eastern seaboard. This
results in a WAA pattern into New England. However 1040+ mb surface
high over eastern Quebec early Mon will support shallow cold air
lingering across New England. Depending on arrival time of qpf this
setup supports the risk of freezing rain across the interior at the
onset of precipitation. There will also likely be a brief period of
mild weather Mon night into Tue as warm sector potentially
overspreads the region. However this should be short lived as all
guid suggest northern stream becoming dominant again by Tue/Wed
which results in east ridge eroding and colder air overspreading the
region by middle of next week.

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.

Short Term /through Thursday Night/...High confidence.

Through most of tonight...
VFR. Building mid clouds expected later today. W-winds will shift
to SW overnight but should remain generally 10 kt or less.

Tomorrow...
Although CIGS will lower especially N of a PSF-ORH-BOS line,
mainly VFR is still expected with only a few pockets of MVFR.
Meanwhile, light SN will also build across the same region during
the early morning hours and linger through about mid day.
Occasional MVFR vsbys possible, with light accumulations on
runways, although some may see little to no accumulation closer to
the aforementioned line. Parts S of the line may stay dry except
SE MA/RI where a few showers may linger into the afternoon.

Tomorrow night...
A return to VFR everywhere with winds shifting back to the NW. All
precip ends and skies trend back toward SKC.

KBOS TAF...High confidence in TAF. Low risk for light SN during
the early AM hours.

KBDL TAF...VFR. High confidence in TAF.

Outlook /Friday through Monday/...

Friday...VFR, dry runways and modest WNW winds becoming WSW. High
forecast confidence.

Saturday...Moderate confidence.  A period of MVFR to perhaps even
IFR conditions likely in some rain with even some wet snow possible
across the highest terrain of western MA.

Saturday night and Sunday...Moderate to high confidence in mainly
VFR and dry conditions. Gusty WNW winds up to 30 kt possible.

Monday...trend from VFR to MVFR and possibly IFR in developing
rain...freezing rain possible interior MA and CT. Moderate
confidence.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels.

Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.

Short Term /through Friday/...High confidence.

Winds and seas will remain below small craft thresholds tonight
into early tomorrow, with some light rainfall across the waters
during the morning hours. After a cold frontal passage tomorrow
afternoon, with winds shifting to the NW, expect building seas and
wind gusts approaching 25 kt by evening. Therefore small craft
advisories will begin late day tomorrow, and continue into the
overnight hours.

Outlook /Friday through Monday/...

Friday...High confidence.  Dry weather and good vsby in modest WNW
winds becoming WSW.

Saturday...Moderate confidence.  Strong southwest low level jet of
50+ knots develops ahead of a cold front.  Inversion will keep some
of that wind aloft, but still expect a period of southwest wind
gusts of 20 to 30 knots across our waters.  Small craft headlines
will likely be needed.

Sunday...Moderate confidence. Dry weather and good vsby along with
northwest wind gusts of 20 to 30 knots expected as strong high
pressure north of the Great Lakes generates enough of a pressure
gradient with departing low pressure moving away from the
Maritimes.
