Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
1054 AM EST Tue Feb 7 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A storm moving through the Great Lakes will bring a wintry mix of
snow...rain and freezing rain to the region this morning changing to
plain rain in most locations this afternoon.  However, an extended
period of freezing rain may persist across the interior high terrain
into this evening. Low pressure races out of the Southern
Plains and passes south of New England Thursday with a potential
for plowable snow mainly along and just north of the south
Coast, but there remains some uncertainty. High pressure builds
in with drier colder air from Thursday night through Friday
night. Two weather systems then affect us over the weekend,
bringing a chance of snow Saturday and rain or snow Sunday.

&&

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

***Moderate to heavy snow falling near and north of MA Pike will
 shift focus to near the NH border this afternoon as most other
 areas change to rain with freezing rain across the interior***

1045 am update...

Strong omega in the snowgrowth region was resulting in
widespread moderate to heavy snow near and north of the MA Pike
late this morning. This included the Boston metro area. Expect
to see ptype transition to rain on the coast with freezing rain
inland south of route 2 by mid afternoon. This a result of
diminishing precipitation intensity allowing thermal profiles to
warm.

2 to 4 inches of snow north of the Pike seems reasonable, but
localized 5 inch amounts are certainly possible near the NH
border.

No other changes to the forecast at this time, with mainly rain
south of the Pike along the coast. However, freezing rain
currently falling in northern CT and perhaps the higher terrain
of northwest RI as previous forecast captures well.

Previous Discussion Below...

Precipitation Types and Timing...

Most of the 00z guidance is dry thru 12z with just spotty light
precip. Immediately after 12z and specifically 12z-15z precip
becomes widespread across the entire region. Thus the front end of
the morning commute (5 am to 7 am) should be mainly dry with just
some spotty light precip. However by 9 or 10 am precip should be
fairly widespread.

The more tricky part of the forecast is determining ptype and its
duration. Given the airmass over southern New England is not very
cold or dry (dew pts in the teens and 20s) by early Feb standards...
a small model error in thermal profiles will result in a significant
difference in the outcome.  Impressive baroclinic zone setting up
across the south coast with 42 degs at BID with a south wind and
just to the north 31 at WST with a light northerly wind. This
boundary and overrunning precip will set the stage for a period of
wintry weather today and into this evening across the interior. Here
are the details below.

North of MA Turnpike to the MA/NH border...

This is where the deepest cold air exist. Thus greatest risk for
accumulating snow is across northern MA. However model soundings
begin to warm near 0C around 850 mb. This suggest a risk of some
sleet mixing in at times especially when precip intensity slackens.
However here is the wildcard...with that said both NAM and GFS
suggest modest mid level Fgen/lift later this morning that is
focused in the snow growth region and is collocated with marginal
instability. Thus could be a period of moderate snow later this
morning (around 15z) across northern MA (MA pike northward to NH
border). This is the time period when 1-3" of snowfall may
accumulate. Given the risk of sleet during this time our
deterministic snowfall forecast is a bit conservative (1-2") with
our probabilistic snowfall forecast addressing the potential for
higher amounts if precip remains all snow across northern MA.
Depending how quickly the boundary layer warms and intensity of snow
to offset this warming...there is the risk of some minor
accumulation into the Greater Boston area later this morning.

By afternoon model soundings indicate mid level warming around 800
mb will change snow to sleet and then to freezing rain across the
interior (west of I495) where shallow cold air will be difficult to
scour out as coastal frontal wave develops and tracks over RI and
southeast MA. Up to a 0.25" of ice is possible across this region
with highest amounts across the hilly terrain of the Worcester Hills
and east slopes of the Berkshires.

South of MA Turnpike...

To the south of the MA Turnpike into northern CT and northwest RI,
model soundings indicate that thermal profiles will support a mix of
snow and sleet at the onset quickly changing to freezing rain. A
period of freezing rain is possible farther southeast into interior
southeast MA. Given that this may impact the morning (back end) will
continue the winter weather advisory.  Any freezing rain should
change to plain rain in most of this area by late morning.

Most of RI into southeast MA...

Any snow and/or sleet at the onset will quickly change to rain. Thus
not much impact here and will continue to keep headlines north and
west of this area.

&&

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

Warm frontal boundary and surface wave lift northeast thru the
night. This combined with dry slot overspreading the region will
result in low top showers and drizzle over the area. Warm sector
overspreads much of the region with temps rising thru the 40s at
night. However subfreezing temps will support freezing rain into the
evening hours across the Worcester Hills and the East Slopes of the
Berks...diminishing after midnight as shallow cold air slowly erodes
from top down. Warm air invading the region will also lead to patchy
dense fog.

Wednesday...

Very mild start to the day thanks to warm sector lingering across
the region. Cold front sweeps across the region late morning-early
afternoon. At 18z very warm airmass remains over RI and southeast MA
with 925 mb temps ranging from +6c to +10c depending on model of
choice. With the wind shift to the west boundary layer becomes well
mixed to at least 925 mb and possibly 850 mb. This combined with
some breaks of sunshine will support highs in the 50s to possibly
near 60.

&&

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

  * Plowable possible for some Thursday.
  * Another light snow/rain event Saturday.
  * Uncertain mixed precip event Sun-Mon.

Overview and model preferences...
Relatively progressive pattern becomes established following an
arctic influence wave passage late Wed night into Thu. While
downstream blocking does occur E of Greenland and over Iceland,
the trend toward a positive EPO even as PNA/AO remain negative
suggest the flow pattern across the CONUS and into the W
Atlantic is nearly zonal. Therefore, this allows for the passage
of several shortwaves in such a manner that they potentially
impact S New England. The first Thu, cold enough for snow but
will depend ultimately the track of low pres S of the region.
The next is much weaker as the confluent flow across the NE
continues to open the initial wave. Still some Pacific influence
could yield another round of light precip as the clipper
associated with this feature makes its closest passage. Finally,
yet another strong and slowly phasing Pacific/Arctic wave
arrives by early next week, but given potential interactions
exact track remains a low confidence forecast, however the
gradual resurgence of the SE CONUS ridge, suggests this may be a
warmer wave passage. Given the mesoscale differences inherent
to each wave passage will lean more heavily on ensemble means
rather than any individual deterministic model run.

Details...

Wed night into Thu...
Initial influence of Arctic high pres will allow for rapid
cooling of the airmass in advance of acute upper lvl shortwave
which will initiate cyclogenesis off the mid-Atlantic coast
along a stalled cold front. Final location of this front will
have significant impact on exactly how close the resulting low
pres passes to S New England. Current mean is just S of the
40/70 benchmark but some members including the operational NAM
are within the bench mark. However, as the wave continues its
deepening process, the strength of the resulting low pres will
also determine how far N the precip shield can reach. This can
bee seen in the difference between the 00Z operational GFS and
ECMWF, the former is closer, but suggests less QPF while the
latter is further S and strengthens earlier. In any case
combination of overrunning and weak mid lvl F-gen N of the low
pres will be enough to establish a band of precip within an
airmass of PWATs generally around or less than 0.75 inches. Snow
is expected in this case as even H92 temps are generally colder
than -4C by 12Z. The final passage will define how far N
plowable snow occurs, but agree, given the latest updates that
the best chance would be mainly S of the border between RI/CT
and MA and across SE MA. Gradient will likely be tight, but this
will become better refined with better agreement following the
system over the next 24-36 hours. QPF plumes still suggest a
fair amount of spread. Highs Thu mainly in the mid 30s while
lows Thu night drop into the teens and low 20s with colder
airmass.

Fri...
Blustery and cool Fri between two weak low pres waves. H92
temps warm, but begin the day in averaging colder than -16C.
Therefore highs will struggle to break the freezing mark,
possibly topping out only in the mid 30s or lower. Mixing
suggests wind gust up to 25-30 mph through the afternoon,
reinforcing the cold.

Fri night into Sat night...
Weak clipper system will cross the region along with modest
warm advection. PWATs are quite low suggesting moisture is
limited with this weakening wave. However, could see widespread
light SN initially until low lvls warm (H92 reaches near 0C to
+2C by Sat evening) since dynamic cooling looks limited given
the weak lift. Some suggesting weak inverted troughing and ocean
effect as the parent low pres shifts E. QPF mean is generally
0.1-0.2 inches suggesting any SN would be sub advisory. Overall
less of a risk for headlines than the Thu wave, however still
some time to watch this feature.

Sun into Mon...
Tricky setup regarding yet another wave, although with more
influence from Pacific vortex. This suggests a stronger system,
which could slide W of the region especially of the current
strengthening of the SE CONUS ridge is realized. Cold air locked
in initially with high pres N of the region possible reaching
between 1035-1040. Given all this factors, and the expected
uncertainty with any system beyond 100 hours, will need to
monitor for yet another mixed precipitation event potentially.
Far too early to make any specific case as thermal profiles will
depend on the complex interactions of the arctic, Pacific and
SE CONUS airmasses.

Early next week...
Indications suggest that in any particular case regarding the
system for Sun-Mon, colder air will once again filter into the
region as the longwave trof across E Canada is reinforced, so
another return to seasonable or even below seasonable conditions
is possible, if even likely given current ensemble means.

KBDL TAF...Moderate to high confidence. Freezing rain/freezing
drizzle will persist into the afternoon.

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

Wed night into Thu...High confidence.
Mix of IFR/MVFR conditions in snowfall. Highest accumulations
will occur closest to the south coast, dropping off toward the
border with NH/VT. Only caveat may be some areas which see
little to no snow across the N and NW, but it's likely at least
some light snow will be occur. Wind gusts late Thu, Thu night
could reach 20-30 kt at times out of the NNW.

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Range /through Tuesday night/...

Today...Moderate to high confidence.  Initial wave of low pressure
will generate a period of northeast wind gusts of 25 to 35 knots
this afternoon and early evening across our northeast outer waters.
Strongest northeast winds will be near Gale force across northeast
MA waters. Thus continued the Gale Warning for the waters east of
Cape Ann. Elsewhere SCA are posted. Vsbys will lower in snow and
rain changing to all rain by midday.

Tonight...Moderate to high confidence.  Main low pressure tracking
well to our northwest will allow winds to shift to the southwest
with gusts between 20 and 30 knots.  Seas will build to between 5
and 9 feet across most open waters. Vsby will lower in rain and fog.

Wed...moderate to high confidence.  Big improvement with wind shift
to the WNW. Early morning showers give way to a drying trend for the
afternoon along with improving vsby.

Outlook /Wednesday Night through Saturday/...

Wed night into Fri...Moderate Confidence.
W winds shift to the N early Thu, then gradually back to the W
Thu night into Fri. While any remaining small craft advisory
conditions drop off Thu night, conditions change to potentially
Gale force late Thu into Fri. Seas increase through Thu night,
peaking at 10-12 ft on the SE ocean waters. Gale warnings may be
needed.

Sat...Low confidence.
Low pres will pass over or very near the waters. While
conditions could drop below even small craft advisory conditions
by this time, it is possible that small craft advisories may be
needed of certain conditions change.
