Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
735 AM EST Tue Dec 27 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will move through southern New England today
followed by high pressure building into the region tonight and
Wednesday. Low pressure will rapidly intensify Thursday into
Thursday night, bringing the likelihood of a nor'easter to
portions of the region. Significant snow accumulation is possible
in the interior, especially across central and western MA with
mainly rain along the coastal plain. Dry but windy and colder
conditions are expected for Friday into Saturday. Another low
pressure system may bring a light amount of rain or snow to the
region late Saturday night into Sunday.

&&

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

715 AM Update...

Last of the showers ahead of cold front moving across SE Mass and
RI at 12Z. SW winds remain gusty, though highest gusts appear to
be lowering slowly. Noting gusts up to around 40 kt at several
coastal mesonet sites around Boston Harbor at around 09Z, but have
since lowered to around 30-35 kt. Have ended the wind advisory
over NE Mass, but continued remainder of the region for now.

Expect winds to continue to diminish as H925 jet max moves out of
the region this morning. Will still see some gusts up to 30 kt
during the day. Expect clouds to push southward as drier air works
in from northern New England.

Remainder of forecast looks pretty good for now, but have updated
to bring conditions current.

Previous Discussion...

Excellent low to mid level drying develops late morning through
the afternoon from north to south which will lead to increasing
sunshine. It will remain windy today with gusts to 35 mph as winds
shift to west behind the cold front.

Max temps will occur this morning with falling temps this
afternoon as strong cold advection takes place. Temps will fall
into the 30s across the higher terrain and into the 40s by late
afternoon in the coastal plain.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
Tonight...
Decent mid level shortwave from the Gt Lakes moves into New Eng
late tonight. The column is dry with very low PWATs so expect dry
weather but the shortwave will bring increasing cloud cover late
tonight, especially to western New Eng. With a modest NW breeze,
low temps will bottom out in the 20s, except lower 30s near the
immediate coast.

Wednesday...
The shortwave moves through around 12z then east of New Eng by
midday. Temps aloft will be increasing during the day, but
will still be fairly cold and acting on low level moisture will
result in bkn cu developing during the day. Expect ptsunny skies
with lighter winds as high pres builds in from the west.
Seasonable temps 35-40 degrees, but colder higher elevations.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Highlights...

* Potential significant snowfall Thu afternoon into Thu
  night across interior Mass, mainly north and west of I-495
* Cold New Years Eve with snow possible late at night

Overview...

Medium range models continue to advertise fast moving mid level
flow across the northern tier of the U.S. during this timeframe.

A short wave trough digs as it amplifies during its progression
eastward Thu, promoting surface low pressure development around the
NJ coast. The low will push across southern New England as it
rapidly deepens late Thu and Thu night, exiting to the Maritimes
Friday. A return to colder conditions expected late this week into
the weekend, while another low may approach toward New Year's
Day.

Details...

Wed night...Looks to be dry during this period with near normal
temperatures with temps falling back to lower to mid 20s. Clouds
will increase across northern Mass after midnight.

Thu-Thu night...Both the 00Z models and associated ensembles
signaling a strong, digging H5 trough diving SE into the Ohio Valley
and Great Lakes early Thursday. While parent low remains south of
Hudson Bay, continue to see development of secondary low pressure
along triple point frontal system during Thursday, along with good
moisture working into the system from the Gulf of Mexico. Models
show good agreement of explosive cyclogenesis around the NJ coast
late Thu into Thu evening. GFS has low at 991 hPa at 21Z Thu,
dropping to 975 hPa by 06Z Fri, and similar pressure falls on the
GGEM and ECMWF, though still some question on exact track of the low.

Will see potential of good snow growth Thu night as the low passes
across SE Mass, but some question of amounts as rain/snow ratio
remains at around 10:1. In any event, should see period of moderate
to heavy snow at times late Thu into Thu night across portions of
interior southern New England, with the best chance of heavy snows
across the higher inland terrain of the Worcester hills and the E
slopes of the Berkshires, as well as along the Route 2 corridor and
portions of the I-91 area. Expect mainly rain across the coastal
plain. In between, will see some mix with rain Thu afternoon, but
will become all snow Thu night.

Where it remains all snow, potential continues for over 6 inches of
heavy, wet snow, then amounts drop off quickly S and E of a Lawrence
to Worcester to Springfield line.

Increasing wind on the back side as the surface low rapidly
deepens Thu night could be an issue in itself across the coastal
plain with advisory criteria gusts possible and also an issue when
combined with any plastering of heavy wet snow over the northern
interior.

Fri through Sat...Will see colder air work in along with gusty winds
behind the exiting low as it continues to deepen as it approaches
the Canadian Maritimes. Friday will be the transition day with highs
ranging from around 30 across the higher inland terrain to around 40
at the coast. It will be much colder on Saturday across north
central and W Mass with highs only in the mid and upper 20s, ranging
to the upper 30s to near 40 along the immediate south coast.

Sat night and Sun...A nearly zonal mid level steering pattern in
place across the northern stream, but noting an H5 short wave
digging in this flow. Weak surface low pressure associated with this
feature may bring period of light rain and/or snow to bring in the
New Year, but exact timing in question due to the fast flow.

Mon...With a continued progressive mid level steering pattern in
place, current forecast suggests dry conditions as high pressure
builds at the surface and aloft. However, this will be dependent
upon the exit of Sunday's system.

&&

.AVIATION /13Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /through Wednesday/...

Today...High confidence in trends. Lower confidence in timing.
Scattered showers along the south coast this morning before
shifting offshore. Otherwise, local MVFR cigs will improve to VFR
with clearing skies from north to south late morning into the
afternoon as winds shift to west. Strongest gusts assocd with the
low level jet moves offshore after 12z, but gusts to 25-30 kt
expected into the afternoon.

Tonight...High confidence. VFR. Patchy MVFR cigs possible in the
Berkshires.

Wednesday...High confidence. VFR. Cigs around 4k ft developing.

KBOS TAF...High confidence in trends. Lower confidence in timing.

approach the E slopes of the Berkshires toward daybreak.

Thu into Thu night...Moderate confidence. Expect areas of -SN with
MVFR-IFR conditions developing by late morning across the interior.
Mainly MVFR across the coastal plain where any -SN should change to
-RN by around midday. Expect precip to change back to -SN or a mix
of -RN/-SN Thu night across the coastal plain inland from Cape Cod.
Strong surface west wind gusts possible late Thu night, especially
along the immediate coast.

Fri through Sat...High confidence. VFR conditions expected. Gusty
NW winds through Fri.

&&

be rough, peaking at 10-12 ft over the southern waters. Showers
moving off the S coast by late morning.

Tonight...Some lingering W/NW gusts to 25 kt possible this
evening especially eastern waters, then diminishing as high pres
builds in from the west. Subsiding seas.

Wednesday...NW winds up to 20 kt. Some lingering SCA seas over the

Outlook /Wednesday Night through Saturday/...

Moderate confidence through the period.

will remain at gale force. Seas build up to 6-10 feet Thu night.
Visibility restrictions likely in areas of rain and fog.

Friday and Friday night...W winds continue to gust up to 35-45 KT
during the morning, highest on the eastern outer waters, then
should start to diminish during the afternoon. Expect gale force
gusts to continue into Friday night. Seas up to 8-12 ft on the
outer waters will slowly subside late in the day but remain well
above 5 feet.

Saturday...Leftover gale gusts on the eastern outer waters should
diminish, but will continue to see small crafts. Seas remain at or
above 5 feet mainly across the outer waters.
