Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
333 AM EST Thu Feb 2 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
The remainder of this week into Saturday will trend colder with
blustery conditions at times. A few snow or rain showers are
possible Sunday then turning blustery and colder Monday behind a
cold front. An approaching storm may bring snow, ice and rain Tue
into Wed.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
1045 PM Update...

Mainly clear skies across the region at 03Z with mainly
light/variable or calm winds away from the immediate coast and W
winds at 5-10 kt at the shore. Where the winds have dropped off,
mainly across portions of the CT valley, may see brief patchy low
clouds and fog develop. Noted a report of low clouds and fog for a
time at KBAF at around 03Z, though conditions have improved. Will
monitor this closely overnight.

Wide range in temps due to the clear, calm conditions inland.
Readings down to lower-mid 20s across the Route 2 corridor from
KFIT westward as well as the mid and upper CT valley. Temps range
up to around 40 along the S coast and on the islands at 03Z.

May see a couple of lake effect snow streamers touch into NW Mass
overnight. Trends over the last few hours have kept most of the
action across S central VT, but can not rule out a couple of snow
showers that may sneak in.

Have updated near term forecast to bring conditions current and
incorporated into overnight trends.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
The pattern for the rest of the short term period is characterized
by a broad cyclonic flow with embedded weak short wave troughs
aloft and mostly dry cold front passages at the surface. Other
than a risk of a flurry or two, especially across the east slopes
of the Berkshires and far northern MA, we anticipate dry
conditions to prevail. A blend of model guidance suggests more
clouds across the northern half of the forecast area during
Thursday. Cold advection through the period will translate to
progressively colder highs and lows. Most locations will likely
max out in the mid to upper 30s during Thursday afternoon. With a
colder air mass in place, anticipate low temperatures Thursday
night to bottom out in the teens across the interior and lower 20s
near the coast and the Boston/Providence metro areas.

Bufkit profiles indicate that there will probably be enough mixing
Thursday afternoon for wind gusts near 25 knots for a few hours in
the afternoon.

&&

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

* Blustery and cold Sat with below normal temps
* Chance of a few snow/rain showers Sun afternoon/evening
* Blustery and turning colder Monday
* A storm may bring snow, ice and rain Tue into Wed

Overview...

Relatively low amplitude flow pattern across the CONUS through the
weekend with a few fast moving shortwaves rotating through the flow.
One shortwave moves through Fri night and will bring a reinforcing
shot of cold air into Sat with below normal temps. Second Pacific
shortwave moves south of New Eng Sun followed by a stronger northern
stream impulse Sun night which will bring another thrust of cold air
into Mon. Then models are signaling a pattern change into the mid
week period as amplifying trof moves across the northern Plains to
the Gt Lakes Tue-Wed with backing flow across the NE. Still a lot of
details to resolve but there is potential for an overrunning wintry
event Tue into Wed possibly changing to rain.

Friday night and Saturday...

Mid level shortwave swings across New Eng Fri night with trof axis
moving to the east Sat. Trof passage may trigger a few flurries/snow
showers Fri night into Sat morning, especially in the interior high
terrain, otherwise mainly dry as moisture is limited. Main effect of
this shortwave will be to bring a reinforcing shot of colder air to
New England as 850 mb temps drop to -16 to -18C by 12z Sat. Expected
lows in the teens Fri night with highs mainly in the 20s to near 30
Sat. Steep low level lapse rates support NW wind gusts to 25-30
mph Sat with wind chills in the teens.

Sunday into Sunday night...

High pres SE of New Eng Sun. Developing weak warm advection and
deepening moisture plume will result in increasing clouds with a few
snow showers possible afternoon/evening, mixed with rain near the
coast as increasing SW flow develops. In fact, gusts to 30 mph
possible in the afternoon, especially along the coast. Then northern
stream trof diving SE from Canada will deliver a cold front late Sun
night.

Monday...

Cold front moves off the coast with blustery NW winds developing and
colder temps. GFS is much more aggressive with the cold air with 850
mb temps dropping to -16 to -18C and sfc temps remaining in the 20s.
ECMWF considerably milder. Lots of temp spread among the GEFS
members so we used a model blend on temps but potential for
considerably colder than forecast if GFS verifies. Expect gusty NW
winds developing with GFS indicating a low risk for near wind
advisory gusts. ECMWF weaker but still blustery.

Tuesday into Wednesday...

Still lots of uncertainty regarding the evolution of the amplifying
trof moving into the Gt Lakes, sfc low track and thermal profile.
Lots of spread among the ensemble guidance. However, given the cold
airmass in place ahead of this system, potential for some
overrunning snow on the front end Tue, with changeover to ice/rain
into Wed as primary low tracks to the west. But lots of uncertainty
at this time range and things can certainly change.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Overnight...High confidence. VFR conditions are expected to
prevail. A few flurries are possible near the crest of the
Berkshires, mainly across western Franklin and Hampshire
counties. W winds gusting up to 20 kt across outer Cape Cod and
Nantucket will diminish by around 06Z.

Thursday...High confidence. VFR. May encounter occasional MVFR
cigs across the E slopes of the Berkshires near the crest where
there could also be scattered flurries. Surface winds from the
west may gust to 25 knots at times during the afternoon.

Thursday night...High confidence. VFR conditions are expected and
diminishing winds.

KBOS TAF...High confidence. VFR should prevail through Thursday
night. W winds will gust 20 to 25 kt for a few hours this
afternoon and again Thursday afternoon.

KBDL TAF...High confidence. Expect VFR conditions through
Thursday night.

Outlook /Friday Night through Monday/...Moderate confidence.

Friday night into Saturday...Mostly VFR cigs with areas of MVFR at
times, especially across the higher terrain of central and western
MA. Gusty NW winds to 25 kt Sat.

Sunday...Cigs may lower to a period of MVFR with sct snow/rain
showers in the afternoon/evening. SW wind gusts to 25-30 kt
possible.

Monday...Mainly VFR. Gusty NW winds developing.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Moderate to High confidence.

W winds will continue to diminish across the near shore waters,
but have kept small crafts going overnight mainly for seas over
the open waters. Will monitor conditions on Mass/Ipswich Bays as
well as Block Island/RI sounds to see if conditions diminish
before sunrise.

Previous discussion...

Frequent wind gusts and seas look to remain above small craft
criteria for most of the time across the outer waters to the
south and east and have a Small Craft Advisory extended until
midnight Thursday night for that area. Elsewhere, conditions look
to be more marginal. May need to raise Small Craft Advisories
again over the more near shore waters for Thursday afternoon, but
confidence isn't all that high at this time.

Outlook /Friday Night through Monday/...Moderate confidence.

Friday night into Saturday...SCA conditions with NW gusts to 25 kt
at times.

Sunday...Increasing SW winds developing with gusts to 30 kt possible
in the afternoon.

Monday...Gusty post-frontal NW winds developing with moderate risk
for gales.

&&
