Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
931 PM EST Sun Jan 29 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Colder weather works into the region tonight and Monday, as a
distant low pressure system grazes the Cape and Islands with some
light snow. Low pressure and cold front will move across New
England between Tuesday and Wednesday. This may bring a a period
of snow, and then bring dry and cold weather for much of next
week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...

930 pm update...

Previous forecast is on track. Weak ridge of high pressure will bring
light winds and dry weather overnight. Should see enough breaks in
the clouds with the light winds to allow many locations to bottom
out in the upper teens to lower 20s by daybreak. There may even be
some middle teens in the normally coldest outlying locations of
northwest MA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Monday...

Skirting snow along the S coast. Continued cyclonic flow at first
at a positively-tilted becoming neutral as a potent mid-level short-
wave rotates through the base. Stronger dynamics and parent QG-
forcing emerges off the Mid-Atlantic across regions of better baro-
clinicity, begin to see the development stages of low pressure
quickly transitioning towards maturity during the day, sliding E
most notably S/E of the 40N/70W benchmark.

Forecast guidance has wobbled N as of late and perhaps no surprise
during low maturation wanting to tighten up beneath lower heights
aloft. Yet progressive across the now offshore stalled arctic front.
Perhaps too late in backing N? GFS the N outlier and strongest with
the central low pressure with the EC not far behind, slightly S.
Aside, forecast consensus with respect to moist convergence,
frontogenesis within the snow-growth region is immediately at or S
of the S New England coastline.

Interrogating probabilistics, evaluating Nantucket specifically,
in the last 4 SREF runs the trend for storm total snowfall has
been higher with the ensemble mean hinting a 30 percent chance of
up around 1 inch of snow. NCAR ensembles skiff the S shore with
the ensemble max, but the mean is a near miss. And lastly the ECens
has at least a 40 percent chance of 1 inch of snow on Nantucket.

So plenty of signal to warrant likely PoP for Nantucket. Think
they'll at least see flurries. Will keep chance PoPs along the S
shore with slight N of there to roughly a W-E line across mid-
state CT and RI, and S half of SE Mass. Looking at storm total
snowfall amounts on the order of a couple of tenths for Nantucket
with just a coating along the immediate S coast. Thinking mostly
snow but could mix with rain. Not thinking much in the way of
visibility restrictions.

Overall cloudy day with highs around the low to mid 30s. NW winds.

Monday night...

Mid-Atlantic storm on the out as a stout ridge of high pressure
builds into the region. Sinking air, conditions become fairly
clear with a W/NW flow prevailing, stronger more so over the
waters per isallobaric response of the departing, deepening low.
Gusts up to 25 mph along the immediate coasts and over the waters.

Surprisingly, the consensus of MOS guidance was roughly the same
if not slightly warmer than the consensus of model guidance. Would
lean towards some measure of radiational cooling. Nudged lows down
a degree or two with teens for most locations, single digits for
the high terrain. Dry overall.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Big Picture...

Hudsons Bay upper low maintains a broad cyclonic flow over the
Northeast USA with several shortwaves moving through this flow. The
GFS/ECMWF/GGEM show a Rex block briefly forming in the flow Monday-
Tuesday near the Pacific Northwest coast, cutting off Pacific flow
across the Northern Tier of the USA and replacing it with a flow
from Arctic Canada. This block appears to break down by the weekend,
releasing a shortwave into the southern stream that crosses the
Southern USA over the weekend. This wave may then interact with a
northern stream shortwave to pull northeast toward New England late
next Sunday.

Model mass fields are similar through the week, although there are
differences in detail regarding the Pacific NW block just mentioned.
Also, the ECMWF develops a difference over next weekend regarding a
potential storm.  Because of this, we continue to use a model blend
for this forecast with moderate confidence for much of the week and
low confidence for next Sunday.

Details...

Tuesday-Wednesday...

Alberta Clipper moves east from the Great Lakes and crosses New
England Tuesday night. Warm advection southwest flow rides over the
top of the colder air at the surface during the afternoon. The
southwest flow provides a source of moisture while the mechanism
provides sufficient lift to create a deep column reaching the 400 mb
pressure level. Strongest lift is forecast in the 500-700 mb layer,
where temps range from -15C to -30C, mostly above the prime
dendritic growth layer. This means a period of snow with low water
content late Tuesday into at least the first half of Tuesday night.
With QPF below and possibly much below 0.25 inches, expect a general
inch or two of snow. Some of the hills might approach 3 inches.
Temps near the South Coast may be warm enough to support a rain/snow
mix.

The upper shortwave axis moves through on Wednesday, while an E-W
surface trough lingers over VT-NH-ME. This will maintain a chance of
snow showers with best chance in the northern tier of MA.  Total-
totals near 50 and west winds increasing aloft to 35 knots may mean
brief snow squalls, especially in areas that get a few breaks of sun
during the day.

Thursday through Saturday...

This is when the change of source airmass caused by the Pacific Rex
Block makes itself felt. Temps at 850 mb fall to between -14C and
-18C, which would support max temps only in the mid 20s to lower 30s
by Friday and Saturday. Dew points suggest mins at least in the
teens with some single numbers possible. High pressure builds in
from the Midwest and should keep the weather dry during this period.
The air will be cold enough and winds strong enough over the waters
to generate ocean effect snow showers east of Massachusetts, but the
WNW fetch favors the snow bands to remain offshore.

Sunday...

High pressure starts the day over New England and the West Atlantic,
with dry weather.

GFS brings a southern stream shortwave and surface low to the East
Coast Sunday night. The GFS redevelops the low off our coast,
bringing us a potential coastal storm. The ECMWF focusses
development on the northern stream with a low that passes across
Quebec and swings a cold front through our area. A clear difference
among the forecast information, leading to low confidence in the
forecast.

It is important to note that the predecessor system to this storm is
currently over the North Pacific, midway between Alaska and Hawaii.
It has a long way to go just to reach the West Coast, let alone the
East. At this point we will note low-end chance pops for next Sunday
night...and allow time for the storm to get closer and into better
focus.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Tonight...Moderate confidence. Winds turning more W/NW,
diminishing. VFR cigs. Will keep conditions dry for the morning
push with cigs lowering along the S coast.

Monday...Moderate confidence.
Low-end VFR cigs with NW flow for most locations. Focus along the
S-coast with -SN. MVFR possible along with snow accumulation for
at least ACK, all other islands and S shoreline of MA (including
Cape Cod) and RI possible.

Monday night...High confidence.
Clearing out. SCT-BKN low-end VFR cigs lingering. NW winds increase
especially over the coastlines, remaining light over the interior.

KBOS TAF...Will keep SN out of the terminal for the entire forecast
timeframe. No impacts expected. Low-end VFR conditions.

KBDL TAF...Perhaps a SHSN this afternoon with a low risk of MVFR
impact. Otherwise quiet with low-end VFR SCT-BKN cigs and W flow.

Outlook /Tuesday through Friday/... Moderate confidence.

Tuesday-Wednesday...

VFR at the start of Tuesday, deteriorating to MVFR/IFR mix in mainly
snow by evening and continuing at night. The lower conditions will
be realized in both ceiling and visibility. Conditions improve to
VFR on Wednesday, but still potential for brief MVFR/IFR cigs and
vsbys in snow squalls Wednesday afternoon.  South to southwest winds
less than 20 knots Tuesday will increase overnight with West winds
gusting 30 to 35 knots Wednesday.

Thursday-Friday...

VFR with West-Northwest winds gusting 25 knots.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

W winds diminishing as an arctic front sweeps the region during
the overnight hours. This will allow waves to subside thus
concluding the small craft advisories toward daybreak. An area of
low pressure sweeps S of New England Monday yielding light snow
mainly across the S waters, the low deepening with passage. Thus
as we go into Monday night, expect NW winds to become breezy with
gusts up to 25 kts as the low deepens out to sea. Waves amplify
over 5 feet on the outer waters and will likely see the return of
small craft advisories.

Tuesday-Wednesday... Moderate confidence.

Southwest flow develops ahead of low pressure approaching from the
Great Lakes Tuesday, then becomes West on Wednesday as the weather
system moves off to the north and east. Winds on all waters remain
below 25 knots Tuesday. The southern waters then increase to near 25
knots later Tuesday night and 35 knots Wednesday.  Winds on the
waters off Cape Ann will increase to 30 to 35 knots Wednesday. All
winds diminish Wednesday night.

Seas below 5 feet all waters Tuesday. Seas will build to 5-10 feet
on RI Sound and the outer waters Wednesday, then subside Wednesday
night.

Gale Warnings may be needed on some of the waters late Tuesday
night and Wednesday.

Thursday-Friday...

WNW winds will continue to gust near 25 knots as high pressure
builds in from the west. Seas diminish to less than 5 feet in most
areas, but a few 5 foot heights will be possible on the outer
waters.
