Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
1244 AM EST Sun Mar 12 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Blustery and bitterly cold conditions will persist through the
Sunday. A major winter storm will impact the region Tuesday into
Wednesday with heavy snow, strong winds, and possible coastal
flooding. Blizzard conditions are possible along portions of
coast. Blustery and cold weather will follow for the end of the
week. Another round of unsettled weather is possible for the
start of next weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
10 PM Update...
Lake effect clouds which made it into SNE are diminishing.
Expect mostly clear skies during the overnight period. Winds
remain gusty but the gustiness will subside a bit overnight,
except along the coast and higher terrain. No changes to the
forecast. A bitter cold night with subzero wind chills.

Previous discussion...
With clear skies in place overnight, the bitter cold will
continue. Overnight lows will again be in the single digits
except lower teens on Cape Cod and the islands. Could be a few
degrees below zero in the northwest hills of Franklin County,
MA. Although winds will diminish somewhat, they still will be
gusting to 20-25 mph at times overnight.

A Wind Chill Advisory has been reissued for the slopes of the
Berkshires, and the northern Worcester County hills. Wind chill
readings of -15 to -20 degrees are again expected there
overnight with -10 to 0 degrees elsewhere. Bundle up if outside
tonight!

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
More of the same for Sunday and Sunday night. Sunshine on Sunday
but with cold arctic air still in place, expect highs only in
the lower to mid 20s, except still upper teens in the higher
terrain in northwestern MA. Near record cold max temperatures
are possible again. West-northwest winds will be gusty but not
as bad as they were today...probably in the 25-30 mph range.

Clear skies and very cold again Sunday night with lows in the
single digits except mid teens along the immediate coast.

&&

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

* Major coastal storm expected Tuesday/Tuesday night with a high
  potential for heavy snow, strong winds, high waves, and at least
  some coastal flooding
* Temperatures remain below normal for the rest of the week

Overview...

Main focus this forecast period involves two chunks of energy. An
impressive closed upper low digs southeast through the Great Lakes
while a second short wave trough moves about the periphery
instigates significant cyclogenesis along the impressive baroclinic
zone lying just off the USA east coast. The peripheral short wave is
eventually drawn toward the major upstream upper low as the surface
cyclone deepens and proceeds to have an impact on the upper flow.
There are classic signals in place for rapid cyclogenesis off the
east coast and by late Tuesday models suggest a double upper jet
pattern with the right rear quad (or right entrance region) of the
northern jet not far from the left front quad (or left exit region)
of the southern jet given further credence to the potential for
rapid and intense cyclogenesis. A second closed upper low
appears poised to dig southeast into the eastern USA over the
following weekend with not too surprisingly differences in
individual model solutions. The focus for this forecast period
is on what looks to be a high impact coastal storm for southern
New England in the Tuesday and Tuesday night time frame.

Details...

Monday...

Dry with below normal temperatures but with lighter winds.

Monday night...

Expect increasing/thickening clouds with a chance of snow breaking
out over Connecticut and southwest Rhode Island before daybreak and
possibly reaching all but far northeast Massachusetts by around
daybreak.

Tuesday into Wednesday...

Essentially all numerical prediction models including the vast
number of ensemble runs depict major cyclogenesis off the Carolina
and mid Atlantic coast Monday into Tuesday. As would be expected
this far out, there is a range of intensities and tracks but
significantly not all that wide of an envelope solutions. There are
a few ensemble runs southeast of the benchmark and some that take a
surface low center over interior southern New England, which we
think does not seem too likely given the depth of cold air in place.
The suite of model solutions now strongly suggest a track between
about the Cape Cod canal and a little southeast of the benchmark
(40N 70W). The overall mean position of the various models seems to
track the low center between Nantucket and the benchmark. There are
intensity differences but nearly all solutions point to a low deeper
than 990 mb. All models also show a closed 700 mb low that
tracks across southeast New England. The trajectory of the
expected warm conveyor belt will draw moisture from the Gulf of
Mexico and the southwest Atlantic and thus QPF approaching or
greater than an inch seems likely. The thermal profile would
support snow along and NW of the Boston to Providence I95
corridor. Southeast of that corridor it is a little trickier
with greater sensitivity to the range of track solutions.
However, the trend of model envelope would seem to suggest most
of the QPF will be in the form of snow outside of the Cape and
Islands and even the Cape and Islands, including Block Island,
have a risk of 6+ inches of snow. This storm will likely contain
a banded structure but cannot be sure just where those bands
will set up. Snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches may occur over a
fairly broad area on Tuesday with possibly 2 to 3 inches in
heavier bands.

For a number of consecutive model runs, a tight surface pressure
gradient and strong low level wind field has been advertised by all
medium range models. The 925 mb wind field depicts a 60 to 70 knot
NE jet. This raises the potential for damaging winds along the Cape
and Islands as well as the potential for blizzards conditions where
the ptype is solidly snow.  The timing of the strongest onshore
winds will also determine the coastal flood risk, which is noted in
a separate section below.

A consensus among northeast offices is that the confidence level of
6+ inches of snow with this storm is high enough to justify Winter
Storm Watches. Many areas may end up with 12+ inches. We have
issued a Winter Storm Watch for our entire forecast area,
although we are a bit shaky on meeting the criteria for
Nantucket. Given the definition of a watch, we felt it prudent
to include Nantucket. Furthermore, the combination of
potentially heavy snow and strong surface winds raises the
possibility of blizzard conditions. After consulting with the
New York City office, it was decided to consider a Blizzard
Watch along a strip of zones near the coast to highlight the
potential serious impact of this storm and where our confidence
of heavy snow and high winds superimposed is greatest. We at
this office did not feel confident enough to issue a Blizzard
Watch for Cape Cod and any of the islands, since precipitation
type (potential for precipitation to mix with or change to rain
for a time) and character of the snow (e.g. may be a wet snow)
may be factors. It is possible that blizzard or near blizzard
conditions may be experienced further north and west of the
Blizzard Watch area but believe we need to monitor later model
runs/trends before achieving enough confidence to expand any
further at this time. Note that Boston is in the Blizzard Watch
and Providence is not too far removed from the watch area.

There is certainly a potential for the need to issue High Wind
Watches and Coastal Flood Watches with later shifts.

Wednesday...

Upper low passes across the area and so there remains a lingering
chance of snow showers. Expect cold and blustery conditions in the
wake of the departing low pressure.

Thursday and Friday...

This period looks to be dry with below normal for temperatures.

Saturday...

Another digging high amplitude trough over eastern North America may
result in another bout of unsettled weather for the following
weekend. There is a lot of spread in individual models solutions,
and our focus today has been on the potent coastal storm for Tuesday
and Tuesday night.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Through Monday...High confidence.
Mainly VFR through the period. Sct-bkn clouds around 5k ft
developing this afternoon and clearing tonight. Some mid/high
clouds Monday. A few MVFR ocean effect clouds possible at times
through tonight over the outer Cape. NW gusts up to 25 kt
today and this evening before diminishing overnight. Light
winds Monday.

KBOS TAF...High confidence.

KBDL TAF...High confidence.

Outlook /Monday Night through Thursday/...

Tuesday and Tuesday Night...Moderate Confidence. Widespread IFR or
LIFR conditions likely developing during Tuesday in snow, possibly
heavy snow, that may change to rain with areas of fog over the Cape
and Islands for a time during Tuesday afternoon. Strong NE surface
winds possible, especially along coastal terminals and exposed
interior terrain, becoming north during Tuesday night.

Wednesday...Moderate Confidence. Areas of MVFR ceilings possible in
scattered snow showers. Otherwise...VFR but with gusty NW surface
winds.

Thursday...High confidence. VFR expected.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

This evening through Sunday night...High confidence.

NW gales continue into this evening with gusts 35-40 kt,
diminishing to SCA speeds overnight through Sunday. The Gale
Warning is in effect until 9 PM for Boston Harbor and
Narragansett Bay and until the overnight hours for the outer
waters. A Freezing Spray Advisory is in effect for all open
waters into Sunday morning for widespread moderate freezing
spray. Small craft advisory-level winds will diminish Sunday
night. Rough seas from 5 to 10 ft will only slowly subside
to 4 to 7 ft by Sunday night.

Outlook /Monday Night through Thursday/...

Confidence...Moderate.

Monday and Monday night...Light winds and seas likely below small
craft advisory thresholds are expected.

Tuesday into Wednesday...Potent coastal storm will likely produce at
least Gale Force winds and possibly storm force winds Tuesday
afternoon and night. There is even a low risk of wind gusts to
hurricane force over some of the outer southeast coastal waters
depending upon the storm's exact track and intensity. Northwest
gales are likely behind the departing system on Wednesday. Seas of
20 to even 25 feet are possible across coastal waters exposed to the
east late Tuesday into Tuesday night. Conditions are likely to be
very dangerous for mariners for Tuesday through at least Tuesday
night and have issued a Marine Statement to emphasize the
threat to mariners.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
The Tuesday/Tuesday night storm has the potential to wreak havoc on
the coastline given a potential for 2 to 3 foot storm surges and
waves in excess of 20 feet just offshore. The big question will be
timing. Most guidance would point to the surge, waves, and onshore
wind peaking out after the Tuesday early afternoon high tide. This
could mitigate the impacts some.  Even so, there appears to be a
risk of at least minor to moderate coastal flooding and significant
erosion about the time of the Tuesday early afternoon high tide
along the Massachusetts east facing coastlines and possibly again
during the Wednesday early AM high tide for north and northeast
facing shorelines. A Coastal Flood Watch may eventually be
warranted.
