Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
337 PM EST Thu Jan 12 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Mild conditions linger into the early overnight hours along with a
period or two of wet weather. A cold front moves through Southern
New England tonight, followed by clearing overnight. Mainly dry
and much colder weather follows this weekend as strong high
pressure builds into the region keeping low pressure well to the
south. The high pressure moves offshore Monday, but maintains dry
weather through the day. Low pressure moving out of the Southern
Plains will bring milder temperatures and mostly rain beginning
Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Low pressure mid afternoon was moving off toward Newfoundland, and
swinging a cold front through the St Lawrence Valley and
Northern/Western New York. The upper flow will continue to move
this east and southeast this evening and tonight. Movement of the
front would extrapolate it to the Connecticut River Valley around
9 PM/02Z, Worcester/Central Hills 1030 PM/0330Z, and the BOS-PVD
corridor around midnight/05Z.

Expect wet weather in much of Southern New England through the
early night. Radar mosaics show a broad area of rain across NY
and NW Pennsylvania. This is moving ENE into New England. Within
this rain is a line of convection over western PA moving ENE
leading the front. Several lightning strikes along this line in
Western PA and Central Ohio. This line, if it holds together,
extrapolates to the CT Valley about 7 pm and to the coast by 9 pm.

Still strong winds overhead at 2000-3000 feet AGL, so we will
continue to be concerned with gusts 30-35 knots in any heavier
rain through the evening.

Once the cold front moves through... the rain will end, the winds
will shift from the west and eventually the northwest. Skies will
clear, mainly after midnight.

Temperatures should remain mild this evening, but then turn colder
after the cold front moves through. Temperatures upstream early
this morning were in the 30s and low 40s, which will be our
min temp forecast for us tonight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...

Friday... High confidence.

Northwest winds will bring cold advection to the region through
the day. Mixing is forecast to 925 mb. Temps in the mixed layer
at 12Z would support max sfc temps of 40s except mid to upper 30s
in western MA. Temps aloft at 18Z would support max sfc temps in
the upper 20s and 30s. So we expect max temps to occur during the
morning with falling temps much of the day. Cold advection mixing
will also bring wind gusts of 25 to 30 knots to the surface.

The airmass will be dry, but with some lingering moisture around
900 mb. That should be enough for a few diurnal clouds. Otherwise
a sunny day with the aforementioned wind and falling temps.

Friday night... High confidence.

High pressure builds over the region with clear skies and light
winds. Increasing high-level moisture suggests some increasing
cirrus late at night. For the most part it will be a good
radiational cooling night. With dew points in the single numbers,
plenty of room for min temps of 5F to 15F. We undercut guidence by
about 3 degrees.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
*/ Highlights...

 - Despite a slight chance of snow for the S-coast Saturday night, a
   warmer than average, wet pattern

 - Mainly nuisance-type weather, nothing blockbuster

*/ Discussion...

A mild pattern marked by weak, wet-weather disturbances. There are
two noteworthy signals: 1) +1-2 standard deviation in H5 heights
across the E CONUS per ensemble means, and 2) concurrent confluent
to anti-cyclonic flow within the mid to upper levels, progressive.

Averaged out over the long-term period, there will likely be some
shots of colder air in-between closer to seasonable values rather
than of Arctic-origin. Synoptic disturbances are likely to be non-
blockbuster, rather nuisance, progressive and quick-moving, with
minor impacts more so with the onset of precipitation in the form of
wintry weather transitioning to rain. Leaning with surface to H85
lows riding N/E mostly across the Great Lakes region ahead of which
expect a pattern of gusty S winds and warmer air with temperatures
potentially reaching 60 degrees at some point.

So going into detail, will keep it dry through Tuesday morning. It
is perhaps that we'll see some flurry activity across the S-coast
Saturday night. But given confluent flow aloft and forecast trends
of favorable synoptics remaining S, plus ensemble and probabilistic
signals, will go with slight chance PoPs if anything at all.

Building upstream ridge across the N Pacific amplifies N flow rear-
ward of a weak troughing signal towards the W CONUS. Energy shears
equatorward into a closed, cut-off low across the SW CONUS into
Mexico. Evolving as a deeper trough with the additional introduction
of upstream Pacific-origin energy, begin to see shortwave impulses
transition E across a building ridge and anti-cyclonic flow over the
E CONUS. Isentropic focus within the low to mid levels, an overall
evolving, persistent over-running setup brought about by successive
waves of energy from the upstream trough, with SW to NE flow along a
series of frontal boundaries. During onset with lead high pressure
built S out of Canada anticipate an initial period of wintry precip,
mainly focused over N/W Mass. Perhaps short-lived as surface lows
are expected to track N/W of our region, will see a transition to
rain with enhanced S flow and usherance of warm, mild air N.

Individual impulses being weak as previously mentioned, confidence
wanes beyond the midweek period as to specific outcomes with poor
model handling. General feeling is that surface lows remain N/W of
the region as we end up on the warmer side of the envelope. Targets
of opportunity: blustery S winds and whether we may reach advisory
criteria (low confidence), and with the usherance of anomalous warm,
high dewpoint air N, depending on winds, the potential for fog
impacts (moderate confidence should winds become light and given how
and cold 2 cm soil temperatures). Too far out in the forecast to say
with any certainty, just something to chew on and maintain a watch.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /through Friday Night/...

Tonight... Moderate confidence.

Broad zone of light rain from Southern Vermont through NY and NW
PA. Movement along the line is toward the northeast, but with time
later this afternoon and evening it will slide southeast across
MA-RI-CT. Cloud bases ahead of this rain are VFR, but in the cloud
layer we note a lower cloud layer around 1500-2500 feet and
expect this to move through with the rain during the evening and
early night. In addition, strong winds continue around 2000 feet
AGL with speeds of 40-50 knots. This will continue to create low
level wind shear through early tonight.

A cold front trails the rain, and will sweep across MA-RI-CT
tonight after 10 pm. Winds will shift from the west behind the
front. Ceilings/vsbys will then improve to VFR for the remainder
of the night.

Friday-Friday night... High confidence.

High pressure builds over the region. The increasing air pressure
and movement of cold air into New England will cause brisk wind
and will draw stronger winds to the surface from 3000 feet AGL.
Expect NW wind with gusts 25 to 30 knots during the late morning
and afternoon.  Winds will diminish at night.

KBOS TAF...VFR with LLWS. Ceilings will lower to MVFR levels this
evening and early night as an area of rain moves through. Timing
of the end of the rain is approximately 11 PM but with low
confidence. A cold front follows, with wind shift and improvement
to VFR.

KBDL TAF...VFR. Ceilings will lower to MVFR levels late this
afternoon and evening as an area of rain moves through. Timing of
the end of the rain is approximately 10 PM, but with low
confidence. A cold front follows, with wind shift and improvement
to VFR.

Outlook /Saturday through Tuesday/...Moderate confidence.

Saturday into Saturday night...

Light W/SW flow with low-end VFR cigs, MVFR across S CT and S MA
with -SN. Low risk IFR mainly confined to the immediate S-coast

Sunday through Tuesday...

VFR through Monday. Lowering cigs into Tuesday down to IFR with RA
and increasing SW winds. Low risk of LLWS impacts late in the
period.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /through Friday Night/...

Tonight...

Southwest winds have had observed winds in the 20s and around 30
knots. Expect the gusty winds to continue through the evening as a
cold front approaches. This front will bring a period of reduced
vsbys in rain, although with the best chance on Massachusetts Bay
and Ipswich Bay and the outer waters to the east. The cold front
will move across during around midnight, at which point the winds
will shift from the west and northwest and diminish.

Seas of 5 to 10 feet the first part of the night on the exposed
waters, but these will subside overnight after the cold front and
wind shift move past. Small Craft Advisory continues.

Friday...

Northwest winds will have potential gusts to 30 knots through much
of the day. Lingering 5 to 7 foot seas, mainly on the outer waters
and also on RI Sound. Small Craft Advisory in effect on all
waters.

Friday night...

Winds and seas diminish Friday night as high pressure builds over
Southern New England and the waters. Small Craft Advisory coverage
will diminish through the night.

Outlook /Saturday through Tuesday/...Moderate confidence.

Blustery NW winds diminish Saturday allowing seas to subside. An
offshore area of low pressure sweeping W to E allows for some
light snow across the S waters, perhaps some lower visibility.
Otherwise good boating weather Sunday with light N winds, shifting
out of the S and slowly increasing into midweek along with chances
of rain.
