Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
257 AM EST Mon Dec 26 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure early today gives way to low pressure passing to the
Northwest which will bring sleet and freezing rain for some,
changing to rain everywhere overnight. The rain tapers off
tomorrow. Low pressure will likely bring some snow or rain to the
region Thursday into Thursday evening. Looks like colder than
normal temperatures for the first half of the New Years weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL NOON TODAY/...
Temperatures have struggled this morning in spite of the
relatively good setup for radiational cooling. This is mainly due
to influence of high pres to the N and dwpts being a bit higher
than previous forecasts suggest. However, still noting several
spots in the upper teens and low 20s given the clear skies.

Winds will gradually shift from N to ENE through the morning,
which may be enough to yield some clouds building onshore, however
the most likely scenario is for clouds to increase from W-E ahead
of a warm front attendant to distant inside running low pres. With
cold temps and ENE flow (noting ageostrophic flow remains N thanks
to the high pres continuing to nose across the N) temps are likely
to be slow to warm. So leaned more heavily on latest mesoscale
guidance which hints at this damming scenario best.

Temps will reach only the low-mid 30s by about noon across much of
the region.

&&

.SHORT TERM /NOON TODAY THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
*** Periodic Freezing Rain/Sleet This Evening ***

Late today and tonight...
Overrunning setup as warm front approaches from the W attached to
inside runner expected to stay well NW of the region late tonight.
The front is associated with building LLJ which will peak to
nearly 60-70kt at H85 by the early AM hours. Strong mid lvl
warming expected with this LLJ, with H92 to H85 temps warming late
today to nearly +5C by midnight local. Meanwhile, dwpt depressions
in the lowest 200 mb or so will reach nearly 15C allowing for some
wet-bulb as the column moisture loads from H7 to the sfc through
the evening. Combine this wet-bulb effect with the cold damming
setup, and some locations across W and N Central MA, as well as
the CT Valley may see a period with temps below freezing as the
overruning precip begins to build across the region.

Sleet changing to freezing rain is possible, even though coverage
may be more shra than stratiform at onset. Still with temps near
freezing at 2M and very cold sfcs from overnight radiational
cooling, some light ice accumulation is possible mainly during
the evening and early overnight hours across the area mentioned.
Current FZRA headlines will be maintained, although will be adding
Hartford CO, as the damming signal could keep the CT valley cold
enough to see some of this wintry precip as well.

Gradual change to rain is expected as the mid lvl warming mixes to
the sfc by about midnight. This is also timed with the core of the
LLJ beginning to move through. How well this LLJ mixes to the sfc
remains in question as the cold sfc temps will limit low-lvl lapse
rates. However, warming across SE MA/RI will be strongest, away
from the influence of the cold sfc air. Therefore, some mixing of
could produce +40 kt gusts during the early morning hours across
SE MA where temps peak in the mid 40s. Will be issuing a wind
advisory to cover this threat as well, which could be expanded if
it appears that warmer air will expand further inland than
currently forecast.

Tomorrow...
Actual cold front and LLJ will be shifting E but not before a peak
in rainfall early as K values approach 30. Precip should be ending
by early afternoon at all locations with clearing toward the end
of the day. H92 temps still hover between 0C and +5C, so afternoon
highs could range between the low 40s and upper 50s. Seasonably
warm for late December.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Long term will be updated shortly...

Highlights...

* Showers move offshore Tue AM, then dry and windy
* Snow or rain likely Thu into Thu evening
* Cold New Year's weekend with chance of some snow early Sunday

Overview...

Persistent SE upper ridge becomes suppressed to some extent during
this period with northern stream flow depicting general cyclonic and
fast flow during the forecast period. A more amplified upper trough
in the northern stream flow draws focus to the Thu and Thu night
time frame.

Tue/Tue night...Front moves offshore and lingering showers end
during the morning followed by dry and rather windy conditions in
the NW flow with most significant gusts likely over the SE coastal
plain. Temperatures start very mild Tue morning but will gradually
drop during the day as the cold advection outpaces the solar
insolation. A sharper drop in temperature will be noted after sunset
but lows Tue night should be close to seasonal norms.

Wed/Wed night...Looks to be dry with max temperatures between 35 and
40, near normal values for this time of year. Wed night lows will
generally be in the 20s except upper teens in the NW. Increasing
clouds later at night will prevent temperatures from fall further.

Thu/Thu night...This is where most of effort for this forecast
period was placed. A more pronounced short wave trough in the
northern stream brings moisture and precipitation into the area but
details vary among the medium range models. The ECMWF is
considerably more bullish than the GFS with formation of a secondary
surface low along the mid Atlantic coast which is tracked across SE
MA to the Gulf of Maine. The operational GFS in contrast shows just
a weakness in the surface pressure pattern with a broader upper
trough. There is some support in the ensemble data for the ECMWF
solution. Have gone with a blend of the ECMWF and GFS for now with a
moderate QPF event of a third to half or so of precipitation.

Precipitation type for Thu into Thu evening is somewhat uncertain,
and this may change some in the coming days as we get closer to the
event. It looks like precipitation type is likely to be snow in NW
MA and rain in most of RI and SE MA. In between including Hartford,
Springfield, Worcester, Boston, and Merrimack Valley the
precipitation type may be snow to rain but could end up being mostly
snow or mostly rain depending upon the amplitude/sharpness of the
upper trough and location of surface secondary cyclogenesis.

Fri through Sat...Fairly strong cold advection and brisk winds are
anticipated with temperatures just a little below normal on Fri but
probably somewhat more significantly below normal Fri night and Sat.
Although certainly nothing extreme, temperatures may struggle to get
out of the 20s for most of the area on Sat. Should be dry, however.

Sat night and Sun...An upper level short wave trof and possibly weak
surface trough or low center may bring a period of snow late Sat
night into Sun morning. For now, any accumulation looks to be
relatively light with perhaps an inch or two in some areas, but this
is too far away to have much confidence one way or the other.
Temperatures will probably moderate a little on Sun to near or
slightly above normal.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /through Tuesday/...

Through 18Z...High confidence.
VFR. Winds gradually shift from to the SE, then finally the SW by
late afternoon. Skies give way from clear to mostly cloudy.

Late day tomorrow and tomorrow night...Moderate confidence.
Trend down from VFR to IFR all TAF sites by the overnight hours
as CIGS gradually lower. Rain showers, some freezing rain across
W MA and NW CT possible during the evening, before turning to
rain everywhere after 02Z. Freezing rain could lead to some light
ice accumulation. Other than rain overnight, risk for LLWS with
about 50 kt S winds at 020, 60+ kt at 030. Some winds of 40+ kt at
the sfc mainly across SE MA during the early morning hours.

Tuesday...High confidence.
IFR and rain end through the morning, giving way to VFR with winds
shifting back to the W-NW, weaker than the overnight hours.

KBOS TAF...High confidence in TAF overall, timing of lower
categories may be off by an hour or two.

KBDL TAF...High confidence in TAF through early afternoon. Lower
afterwards.

Outlook /Tuesday Night through Friday/...

Tue...High confidence. Conditions becoming VFR during the morning.
Gusty W or NW winds with gusts over 30 knots possibly, however.

Tue night through Wed night...High confidence. VFR likely.

Thur into Thu night...Moderate confidence. Conditions likely
lowering to widespread MVFR and areas IFR in snow to the NW and rain
and fog to the SE.

Fri...High confidence. VFR expected but with gusty NW winds.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels.

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

Short Term /through Tuesday/...High Confidence.

N winds will gradually veer to the SSW by evening. At which point
gusts 35-40 kt can be expected through the overnight hours into
early morning. Gale warnings have been issued for all waters
except Boston Harbor, where winds will top out around 30 kt. Seas
reach 8-10 ft on the ocean waters and linger into Tue. Therefore
small craft conditions are likely to follow the Gales. Winds Tue
will shift to the W, with gusts mainly 25-30 kt.

Outlook /Tuesday Night through Friday/...

Confidence...Moderate.

Looks most of the waters will be under Small Craft Advisory
conditions during this period with a couple of periods when gale
gusts are possible. Gale Watch for most of the waters extends to
early Tue afternoon in W or NW flow. Greatest uncertainty is Thu/Thu
night period as to location and strength of surface low pressure
center near coast. If the surface low tracks right across the
waters, the winds may be relatively light for a time during this
period. There is greater confidence of at least Small Craft Advisory
wind gusts and possibly gale gusts in the Fri and Fri night time
frame in strong NW flow.
