Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
127 PM EST Sat Dec 23 2017

.SYNOPSIS...

Freezing rain will transition to plain rain though late
afternoon and early evening in most locations. High pressure
provides dry and seasonable weather Sunday. A fast moving
developing coastal low may bring a period of accumulating snow
to the region late Sunday night into Monday morning, except
possibly rain for southeast MA. Colder than normal temperatures
dominant the week ahead along with the potential for a winter
storm before the end of the month.

&&

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

*** Threat for downed tree limbs/isolated power outages
 increases over the next several hours across central and
 northeast MA ***

125 pm update...

A widespread shield of freezing rain continued to impact much of
the region...but temps were beginning to warm sector into the
40s but so far just along the south coast, Cape and Islands.

Main concern over the next few hours will be ice accretion
across central and northeast MA with an increased risk for
downed tree limbs/isolated power outages. This is where the low
level cold air will be toughest to scour out.  We were just
starting to receive some damage reports and expect these to
increase over the next 1 to 3 hours. Temperatures were slowly
rising...mainly a result of the latent heat release from the
freezing rain process. We also should see the heaviest/steadiest
rain come to an end by late afternoon/early evening...but
scattered showers will persist. Temps should reach the freezing
mark in most locales by late afternoon/early evening and perhaps
a degree or so over in some locales. Overall...expect us to
remain below ice storm warning criteria in most locations but
there will be some downed tree limbs/isolated power outages.
However...we have issued a special weather statement to
highlight these damage concerns.

Otherwise...we should see portions of RI and far southeast MA
warm sector for a time early this evening based on the track of
the surface low. This may allow these locations to briefly spike
into the 50s with some gusty southwest winds.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
4 AM update...

This Evening...

Cold front sweeps across the area 21z-03z from northwest to
southeast. Highest temps for the day will likely occur immediately
behind the frontal passage as warm air aloft is able to mix down to
the surface. All guid shows highs potentially jumping into the low
50s around 00z across CT/RI and eastern MA. This includes Hartford
to Providence to Boston.

Could be some heavy showers along and ahead of the front as PWATs
climb to +3 standard deviations along with some mid level
instability as lapse rates approach moist adiabatic (6.5C/KM).
Thus low risk of thunder.

Increasing winds in the warm sector along the south coast especially
the islands as low level southwest jet traverses this area. Model
soundings are inverted so not expecting much mixing other than in
the heavier showers, but sustain winds could approach 30-35 mph in
this region.

Overnight...

Dry and seasonably cool as post frontal airmass overspreads the
region.

Sunday/Christmas Eve...

Real nice day by late Dec standards with seasonable temps in the
upper 30s and low 40s as 1027 mb high builds into northern England.
So light winds, seasonable temps and sunshine fading behind
increasing mid/high clouds late will provide very pleasant
conditions.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
*/ Highlights...

 - Snow expected around Monday morning, immediately windy after
 - Colder than average midweek with high pressure
 - Increasing signal of a Nor'Easter by the end of the month

*/ Overview...

Holiday snows followed by nudging Arctic air associated with high
pressure from the N/W along the SE periphery of which signal is
building of a potential winter storm towards the end of December.

Omega block ongoing over AK into the Arctic, cold air is dislodging
and beginning to bowl S through a subsequent broad trof regime over
Central Canada into the N-Central CONUS wobbling into the NE CONUS
as waves rotate through the flow, either from Arctic source regions
or straight from the Pacific as the omega block cuts off. Thermal
gradient / baroclinic zone along the SE periphery, need to closely
watch as waves cascade through, the first on Monday and potentially
another by the end of the week / end of December. High pressure and
Arctic air in-between.

Morphology of individual waves and associated synoptics / dynamics
all crucial towards interpreting outcomes as is both upstream and
downstream traffic influences (i.e., blocking). Uncertainty ever
increasing out with time, so continue to lean towards ensemble means
of mass fields incorporating climatology / analogs with respect to
possible outcomes, all of which will be outlined along with timing
and forecast thinking in the discussion below.

*/ Details...

Sunday night into Monday...

Snow across the N/W interior, rain/snow mix along the coastal plain,
rain along the coast and over SE New England. Advisory level event
with the possibility of warning-level snows over N/E MA.

Low center over SE New England, quick moving, rapid cyclogenesis and
closing off further downstream, expecting a quick brush of snow over
the interior. Potency with deformation just emerging, the absence of
Arctic air within low-levels near-isothermal, around freezing, a non-
diurnal trend overnight, adjusting the rain / snow line around the I-
95 corridor to the I-495 / I-90 / I-84 NE to SW corridor. Morphology
of small details in question however leaning with stronger synoptic
lift and forcing over the N/W, especially with the convergence of E
onshore flow along the high terrain beneath the main mid-level vort-
max, moisture wrapping in along the 280-300K isentropic surfaces, a
combination of parent frontogenesis and negative EPV, signals of
potential instability. Initially forcing is within the low levels
from 6z-12z Monday, more potent within the dendritic growth zone 12-
18z as the wrap-around comma-head begins to emerge. Steepening lapse
rates H8-6 and potential upright convection (thundersnow?). A nod to
drying within the mid-levels, more likely a factor over S/E New
England, however going to keep ice within the column given lengthy
onshore E flow.

So continued thinking of broadscale ascent of light snow overnight,
again the lack of lift through the dendritic growth zone, becoming
moderate over N/E MA possibly extending down into the CT River
Valley as the system rapidly deepens into Monday morning,
better lift within the dendritic growth zone as it begins to
close off at the mid-levels, and trowaling / deformation towards
the NW quadrant of the low begins around Monday morning. Mix to
rain along coastal plains towards the coast. Quick morning
brush.

Wiggle room around the rain / snow line potentially changing with
later forecasts on the order of 10s of miles, however can't ignore
onshore warm air / non-diurnal trend overnight. Cold air drainage
through the valleys, ageostrophic-isallobaric flow ahead of the
approaching low, but we're missing that Arctic high N/W.
Hartford on the cusp, could end up a degree or two cooler than
the present forecast around the low to mid 30s.

Advisory-level snows with a 2-5" event, amounts around 6" possible
over the N/E MA. Going conservative for now. Adjust with later
forecasts. Event coming to an end towards midday.

The system rapidly deepening as it quickly lifts NE, strong gradient-
isallobaric response, winds immediately gust as cold air advection
wraps in behind the system, lapse rates steepening. BUFKIT soundings
both highlighting an average of 60+ mph wind gusts across Nantucket
around 10 am Monday. WIND HEADLINES possibly needed for the S-coast
including the Cape and Islands as well as adjacent waters. Clearing
out quickly.

Tuesday through Thursday...

Coldest air of the season. Persistent NW winds. Talking lows in the
single digits to below zero. Highs in the teens and 20s. Wind chills
roughly 5 to 10 degrees below observed temperatures at times. Ocean
effect stratus lingering offshore.

Friday onward...

Potential Nor'Easter. Consistent signal as of late within ensemble
means and CPC is highlighting the hazard threat in their 8-14 day
forecast. So far out in the forecast, details highly uncertain. Wait
till we get out of the present and holiday wintry weather, then we
will have the opportunity to entertain a more thorough discussion.

...Additional downed tree limbs and isolated power outages will
remain possible for another couple hours but improving conditions
expected into early this evening as temperatures rise above
freezing...

Areas of freezing rain continue to impact the region...although
temperatures have risen to near or even just above the freezing
mark. Ice accretion will become less of a problem as the heaviest
precipitation will be exiting the region and most locations will
rise above freezing through early evening. However...some more downed
tree limbs and additional isolated power outages will remain
possible from the ice that remains on trees and power lines for
the next few hours.

...Areas of fog may be briefly dense across portions of Rhode
Island and Southeast Massachusetts through early this evening.

A warm front will lift north across the region allowing
temperatures to climb into the 40s and even 50s for a time in some
locations. As this warm air moves into the region...a period of
fog will probably occur and it may become briefly dense. Motorists
should be prepared for a short period of dense fog into this
evening and drive with extra caution.
