Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
946 AM EST Mon Feb 6 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Dry but colder air returns today as high pressure moves in. A
storm moving through the Great Lakes will bring snow changing to
rain Tuesday into Tuesday night, but a period of interior ice
is likely. Showers Wednesday with milder and breezy conditions.
Colder Thursday and a coastal storm will need to be watched as
it tracks south of New England Thursday.

&&

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

945 am update...

Gusty northwest winds in the cold air advection pattern will
persist for another few hours before diminishing by mid to late
afternoon. Sunny skies late this morning will give way to a
gradual increase in clouds from west to east this afternoon,
but it will remain dry. Highs should top out in the lower 30s
across the high terrain, to the middle to upper 30s elsewhere.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Tonight...
High pres moves to the east with warm front approaching from the
SW. Moisture is deepening overnight in developing overrunning
pattern which may lead to some light snow developing by
daybreak, or mixed rain/sleet along the coast, but it appears
bulk of the precip will hold off until Tue morning.

Tuesday into Tuesday night...

*** Snow changing to sleet/freezing rain then rain from south
to north ***

*** Moderate snow accumulations possible well north of the Mass
Pike with decent ice accretion possible across higher terrain
interior northern MA ***

Decent shot of overrunning precip Tue into Tue evening with deep
moisture within warm conveyor belt overrides initial cold air
at the surface. Models have trended a bit faster with warm air
moving in aloft which limit snow accum, especially south of the
Pike, but weak coastal wave moving along the south coast will
help to lock in low level cold air and northerly winds in the
interior so a period of ice is likely.

Precip type and timing...
It appears precip will begin as mostly rain or mixed rain/sleet
near the immediate south coast and Cape/Islands with snow
elsewhere. However, snow will quickly change to sleet/freezing
rain south of the Pike during the morning as warm air in the
lower levels advances northward rather quickly, with a change to
rain across SE MA and eventually northern RI and northern CT.
However, it will likely take until mid/late afternoon for the
changeover to reach northern MA, especially near the NH border.
Low level cold air will be locked in across interior MA and
possibly into portions of the CT Valley in northern CT for much
of Tue so an extended period of freezing rain is possible,
especially areas near the Mass Pike which will have an earlier
changeover to freezing rain. Closer to the NH border, precip
will be more snow/sleet Tue with changeover to freezing rain not
until later afternoon.

By Tue evening, most areas will likely have changed to plain
rain as temps rise above freezing. The exception will be across
higher terrain in interior MA where pockets of freezing rain
will likely linger through at least midnight. Also have to watch
NE MA for some freezing rain Tue night as weak wave moves up
into the Gulf of Maine which may draw colder air south across NE
MA. It is important to note that when dealing with mixed
precip transition zones, there is always uncertainty as minor
changes in thermal profile can make a big difference. So there
is uncertainty with this ptype forecast.

Snow and Ice amounts...
Only minor snow accum expected south of the Mass Pike due to quick
changeover. Preliminary forecast is less than an inch across
CT, RI and SE MA with an inch or 2 near the Mass Pike, with
amounts increasing to 2 to 4 inches closer to the NH border.
Highest amounts will likely be across far north central MA and
interior NE MA. Amounts could be lower or higher depending on
the timing of the changeover. Regarding ice, potential for
0.10 to 0.25" ice accretion across the E slopes of the
Berkshires and northern Worcester Hills. However, some icing is
likely across northern CT and northern RI during Tue morning.
There will be some impact to the morning commute, especially the
later part due to some light snow and mixed precip. But a more
significant impact is likely for the evening commute north of
the Mass Pike.

Headlines...
A winter weather advisory will be issued for most of the
interior west of the I-95 corridor. South of the Pike, advisory
is mainly for a period of freezing rain, while to the north it
is for a combination of snow and ice.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Highlights...

* Wintry mix may into Wednesday morning across the interior
* Monitoring a potential coastal storm for Wednesday night into
  Thursday with snow
* May see off and on light precipitation during next weekend

Overview...

The progressive weather pattern that has as been in place for a
few weeks now continues across the lower 48. However, there
appear to be some signals that the upper flow may start to
become more amplified toward the latter portion of the week as a
long wave trough digs across the eastern half of the country
around Thu into Fri. Models signaling a wave wrapping around the
base of the H5 trough will push off the mid Atlantic coast
could quickly develop low pressure south of New England. The big
questions at this point are...how close will this come and what
impacts could it bring. The 00Z GFS and ECMWF were in decent
agreement, with the GFS continuing to hug the low close to or
just inside the 40N/70W benchmark while the ECMWF keeps it
outside but somewhat closer than its previous run. Something to
monitor very closely.

Once that low passes offshore and the upper level steering
current flatten out again, will see a few fast moving systems
that may affect the region sometime around next weekend. Have
rather low confidence with the potential weak system as timing
and track are very much in question. This would also have an
effect on PTYPE. At this point, used a blend of available
guidance which kept only low chance POPs going, but this could
change as we get closer to next weekend.

Details...

Wednesday...

Wednesday night-Thursday...

Developing low pressure will push up the eastern seaboard during
this timeframe. As mentioned above, a lot of question as to the
exact track and strength of this low. There is the potential for
a moderate snowfall with this system for possibly southern
areas. However, if this system tracks farther N, could affect
more of the region. Something to keep a close eye on. Will also
see developing N-NE winds gusting to 25-30 kt Wed night into Thu,
highest along the coast. With the onshore flow and mild ocean
temperatures for this time of year, could see mainly rain mainly
across portions of Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard.

This low remains progressive, at least at this point, in a
rather strong SW flow with a digging H5 trough which should
allow the low to exit rather quickly during Thu. Again, this is
dependent upon whether the low deepens rapidly and how close it
comes to or just inside the 40N/70W benchmark.

Friday...

Looks like high pressure ridge builds steadily eastward across
the eastern seaboard. Should see mainly dry conditions across
the region.

Friday night-Sunday...

May be seeing a cutoff low digging across the 4 corners region
sometime this upcoming weekend, which may mean a return of
milder temperatures. However, could still see weak short waves
in the developing W-SW mid level steering flow. First of these
looks to be a warm front Fri night into Sat, which may bring a
mix of light rain and/or snow showers. Another fast moving low
may pass close to or just S of the region during Sunday with
another batch of light precipitation.

High temperatures both Sat and Sun look to run about 5 degrees
above seasonal normals.

Wednesday night-Thursday...Will see conditions lower to MVFR-IFR
across most areas Wed night into Thu morning in CIGS, lowest
across NE CT/RI/SE Mass possible depending upon track of passing
low pressure offshore. May also see MVFR-IFR VSBYS in developing

to VFR Thu afternoon across western areas, but lower conditions
may linger through Thu across Worcester county into NE CT
eastward.

Thursday night-Friday...Any leftover -SN should exit Thu
evening, with mainly VFR conditions. Some MVFR CIGS may linger
across higher terrain Thu night. Gusty W-NW winds along the
coast Thu evening should diminish.

&&

.MARINE...

restrictions in patchy fog and light rain, but may briefly
improve Wed afternoon.

Wednesday night-Thursday...NW winds shift to N-NE during Wed
night as low pressure approaches. This low should pass S of New
England, but may see gusts up to 30 kt. Winds shift back to N
late Thu as the low should exit. Low risk of gale force winds
late Wed night into Thu, especially over the outer waters. Seas
will build up to 6-10 ft Thu.

Thursday night-Friday...W-NW winds Thu night will back to W-SW
