Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
405 AM EST Sat Feb 4 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Dry and seasonably cold weather continues through Monday, other than
the risk for a brief passing rain or snow shower on Sunday. 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
between the changeover. Blustery and colder weather follows behind
this storm for Thursday into Friday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
115 AM Update...

Clouds associated with the passing cold front pushing offshore
as seen on latest IR satellite imagery. Still noting lower
clouds, at around 4-5Kft, across the Route 2 area of N Mass into
the Berkshires at 06Z.

Winds have shifted to W-NW across the region, with gusts up to
20-25 kt along the coast. Dewpts have dropped to the single
digits across the interior.

Expect skies to become mostly clear across most of the region,
with some clouds lingering across the E slopes of the Berkshires
into the central and northern Mass portion of the CT valley.
Temps will bottom out in the teens for most areas, except around
20 degrees along the immediate coast.

Previous Discussion...

Area of mid and high level clouds moving SE as seen on latest
observations as well as IR satellite imagery. W-NW winds have
picked up briefly this evening after the dry cold frontal
passage. Noting bands of precip on NE regional 88D radar along
the S coast and over the southern coastal waters, but not see
any ground truth with these returns along the S coast. Dry
airmass in place with T/Td spreads of 15-20 degrees across the
near shore waters.

Weak ridging will build across the region out of northern New
England as clouds should diminish overnight except across the E
slopes of the Berkshires. May see some scattered snow showers
may work across the Berkshires as well.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
Today...

A blustery and seasonably cold day on tap across the region.  850T
around -15C should hold high temps between 30 and 35 in most locales
with mid to upper 20s across the high terrain.  Good mixing will
result in northwest wind gusts around 30 mph, so it will feel colder
than today.  Dry weather should prevail other than perhaps a passing
flurry or two along the east slopes of the Berks.  Partial sunshine
should be mixed with diurnal cumulus clouds, especially across the
interior during the afternoon.

Tonight...

A brief ridge of high pressure crests over the region Saturday
evening allowing for winds to diminish.  This should allow for
temperatures to quickly drop after sunset in the typically outlying
locations.  Mid/high level cloudiness will be on the increase after
midnight as warm advection increases aloft ahead of the next cold
front, but it should remain dry.  Lows should bottom out mainly in
the teens, with low to mid 20s in the urban heat islands of
Boston/Providence.

&&

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

* Blustery and colder Sunday night into Monday
* Snow changing to rain Tue/Tue night with a period of interior ice
* Mild with showers Wed
* Blustery and colder Thu and Fri

Overview...

Models in decent agreement on the amplification of the large scale
pattern next week as Pacific energy phases with northern stream
energy. Amplifying trof digs into the northern Plains and Gt Lakes
Tue to Wed with strong primary low lifting across the Gt Lakes and
into Canada. This results in a snow to rain event for SNE with
interior ice between the transition but smaller scale details and
timing regarding precip types/amounts remain uncertain. The longwave
trof moves to New Eng for the end of the week with a return to below
normal temps.

Sunday night into Monday...

Northern stream shortwave passage will bring a cold front through
SNE Sun night followed by gusty W/NW winds which will linger into
Mon morning before diminishing. Other than a few flurries/snow
showers in the Berkshires Sun night, expect dry conditions. Sunshine
Mon will give way to increasing afternoon clouds. Seasonably cold
temps.

Tuesday into Tuesday night...

Cold air is initially in place and a decent period of overrunning
ahead of the warm front will lead to precip beginning as snow,
except rain/snow over the islands. With primary low tracking across
the Gt Lakes, this will be a snow to rain scenario with some
interior ice between the transition, but there remains considerable
uncertainty with timing of changeover and duration/amount of
snow/ice. Best chance for several inches snow accum will be north of
the Pike but even here amounts likely less than 6 inches. Only minor
accum expected south of the Pike. However, there is some concern for
appreciable ice accretion in the interior and particularly over the
higher terrain in MA. Warm front will be slow to lift north across
the interior with excellent cold air damming signature suggesting
low level cold air will be slow to erode. This could result in
several hours of freezing rain in the interior. But even here an
eventual changeover to plain rain is expected overnight Tue as temps
rise above freezing.

Will have to watch for the potential for gusty SW winds near the
coast Tue night as a low level jet develops. However, low level
inversion is strong and should prevent stronger gusts from mixing
down.

Wednesday...

SNE will be in the warm sector by Wed morning with showery precip,
mild temps and potential for gusty SW winds. Cold front will be
moving through during the day followed by gusty west winds and
improving conditions but timing of the front is uncertain. With 925
mb temps around +10C, temps should reach well into the 50s,
especially in the coastal plain.

Thursday and Friday...

Mainly dry weather. Blustery and much colder Thu as 850 mb temps
back down to -15C. Diminishing wind Fri as high pres builds
into the region but remaining cold.

&&
