Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
114 PM EST Tue Jan 31 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will bring a widespread accumulating snowfall to the
region this afternoon into early Wednesday. The remainder of the
week will trend colder with blustery conditions at times. Another
shot of snow is possible sometime late Sunday into Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
* Expect widespread accumulating snowfall across the region this
  afternoon into early Wednesday.

* May see bands of heavy snow, which could impact eastern and
  central Massachusetts into northern Rhode Island and SE MA late
  this afternoon into early tonight, causing hazardous driving
  conditions.

100 PM Update...

Shortwave continues to dig across the region this afternoon
resulting in the development of a surface low close to the
Benchmark. Precipitation shield continues to expand across the
region in WAA lift. Stout banding is setting up across the
south coast in conjunction with mid and upper level frontogenesis
and strong omega lift within the snow growth region. Steep lapse
rates as well have been noticed in SPC mesoscale forecast page
which increases forecaster confidence on the potential for
snowfall rates 1-2 inches and hour. Anticipate this band to
continue over the next few hours and move eastward per latest model
guidance. This band should move offshore closer to 00-02z.

In terms of high impact, believe this band will be the main show
for today dropping vsbys and increasing snowfall amounts. Went
ahead an updated the snowfall forecast to adjust the heavier
amounts closer to the south coast.

Looking westward, appears the remainder of the snow is more
convective in nature as is moves into the region late this
afternoon into the evening hours. A few locations may see a quick
burst, but the higher priority is the ongoing band across the
south coast.

Still waiting for snowfall measurements, but looking at webcams
appears that roads are already covered and the snow is quickly
adding up in a line south of BDL-PVD-EWB.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
Tonight...

Triple point low pres moves across the region, likely near the
MA/RI/CT border up to near the Mass Pike. Best moisture influx
continues early tonight, mainly near and ahead of this low. Could
see some snow bands develop, which may produce up to an inch of
snow per hour. However, this should be brief, maybe for a couple
of hours, as the low quickly pushes into Mass Bay by around
midnight.

High res model guidance, namely the ARW and NMM, giving up to 1/3"
QPF amounts overnight, with the highest amounts occurring between
00Z and 04Z. Not quite sure will see quite that much with the fast
movement of the low, but 0.2 to 0.3 inches looks reasonable, which
will be pretty uniform across central and northern areas. With the
cold air in place, should see snow/rain ratios around 15:1 or so,
somewhat lower along the S coast where there will be some mix or
change to rain.

As the low slowly shifts NE into the western Gulf of Maine during
the early morning hours, the strongest lift and moisture will go
with it. Will see the snow taper off from S-N after midnight, but
will linger through the night as the upper system moves across N
NY state into N New England causing the inverted trough to linger.

Looks like, when all is said and done with the majority of the
precip, will see up to 2-3 inches of snow across S coastal areas,
then up to 2-4 inches with some locally higher amounts possible
further N. Can not rule out amounts up to 6 inches in a few
locations across E Mass into N RI where best moisture and lift
looks to occur. For now, have kept amounts in a general 3-5
inch range. Will be all dependent upon formation of mesoscale
banding.

With somewhat higher amounts of snow along the south coast and
Cape Cod, as well as its impact for the evening commute, have
added these areas to the winter weather advisory. So, entire
region is in the advisory except the islands, where only about an
inch or so of snow is forecast before mixing with/changing to
rain.

With the steady movement of the low, should start to see improving
conditions during the early morning hours across S coastal areas.

Wednesday...Should see slow but steady improvement from S-N during
the day. Some lingering snow will continue into midday across the
Route 2 corridor, while snow lingers through the day across the E
slopes of the Berkshires. W winds will become blustery across S
coastal areas, with gusts up to 25-30 kt, where there may be some
sunshine during the afternoon.

&&

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

* Trending colder with below normal temps and blustery at times Thu
  into Sat
* Chance of snow sometime Sun-Mon but confidence is low

Overview...

Pattern in the extended features an anomalous mid level ridge over
Alaska with polar vortex over Hudson Bay drifting east across
Canada. Broad longwave trof from the Gt Lakes to New Eng will result
in mainly dry and cold conditions into the weekend with below normal
temps, coldest Fri-Sat period. Low amplitude Pacific shortwave then
approaches for late in the weekend. With lack of downstream
blocking, pattern remains progressive and not very amplified which
would downplay a potential significant storm Sun-Mon period but this
is still Day 6 so there remains inherent uncertainty.

Wednesday night through Saturday...

SNE will be under influence of broad longwave trof with cyclonic NW
flow. Moisture is limited so outside of a few flurries/snow showers
from time to time, looking at mostly dry conditions during this
period. Trending colder into the weekend as 850 mb temps fall to
-14 to -18C Fri/Sat resulting in below normal temps.

Sunday into Monday...

Still considerable uncertainty regarding a potential storm as there
is lots of spread among the deterministic and ensemble guidance. As
previous forecaster indicated, low confidence at this range and
associated energy is out in the middle of the Pacific. Both GEFS and
EPS probs of 0.50" QPF are quite low, less than 10 percent, which
would argue against a significant storm unless the shortwave can
amplify further.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Today and Tonight...Moderate confidence. Any locations that is
currently VFR will drop to MVFR within the next few hours.
Terminals south of the pike will drop to if IFR in heavy snow
bands this afternoon. Cannot rule out the potential for LIFR
conditions at times. Conditions may slowly improve to MVFR from
south to north between 09-12Z Wed. Untreated runways will likely
become snow covered.

Wednesday...Moderate confidence.
Leftover -SN and MVFR CIGS through late morning, then should
improve to VFR. MVFR conditions may linger across the E slopes of
the Berkshires through the day in scattered snow showers. W winds
gusting up to 30 kt along S coast, Cape Cod and the islands.

KBOS TAF...Moderate confidence. VFR will lowering to MVFR within
the next hour or two with -SN. There is potential for IFR
conditions near 21z. Conditions should improve by Wednesday
morning.

KBDL TAF...Moderate confidence. IFR and occasionally LIFR in
heavy snow bands will continue over the next few hours. Conditions
will improve closer to 3-6z.

Outlook /Wednesday Night through Saturday/...Moderate confidence.

Mostly VFR cigs with areas of MVFR at times. Gusty NW winds to 25 kt
at times.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Today...Moderate confidence. Any leftover small craft winds/seas
diminish by mid to late morning. Winds shift to S-SE during this
afternoon from S-N, gusting to 20 kt on the southern outer waters
by sunset. Visibility restrictions move across the waters during
the afternoon from S-N in snow and patchy fog.

Tonight...Moderate confidence. E winds increase for a time, then
shift to W on the southern waters as low pressure moves across
with gusts up to 25 kt on the southern outer waters around or
after midnight. Small crafts reissued for all southern waters
through the overnight. Low visibilities across the waters in snow
and patchy fog, which may start to improve around or after
midnight on the southern waters.

Wednesday...Moderate to high confidence. Winds shift to W on the
eastern waters Wed morning. Gusts will increase to 25-35 kt,
highest on the southern outer waters where a gale watch has been
issued. Visibilities improve from S-N during the day, but some
lower conditions may linger on the eastern outer waters through
the day.

Outlook /Wednesday Night through Saturday/...Moderate confidence.

W/NW flow through the period with gusts to 20-30 kt at times.
Anticipating a long period of small craft advisories due to winds
and/or seas. Strongest gusts expected Sat with low risk for
gales.
