Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
338 PM EST Sat Feb 4 2017

.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure brings dry weather tonight as it moves offshore. Low
pressure passing through Quebec will swing a cold front through S
New England on Sunday afternoon bringing clouds and possibly some
flurries and sprinkles. Another area of high pressure brings a
return of dry weather Monday. A storm moving through the Great
Lakes will bring snow changing to rain Tuesday into Tuesday night,
but a period of interior ice is likely before the changeover. Rain
Wednesday and milder with breezy southerly winds. Cold air returns
for the end of the week with north- westerly winds.

&&

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

High pressure over the Eastern USA maintains cold dry weather
tonight as it moves offshore. Winds diminish this evening, then
come around out of the Southwest as the ridge moves offshore.
Expect increasing high level moisture bringing increasing high
clouds, but otherwise a fair night.

Min temps upstream this morning were mostly in the teens. With
fair skies and light winds and with our dew points in the upper
single numbers and teens, this is reasonable for our interior.
Coastal areas may be around 20 or low 20s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...

Offshore Atlantic high will bring an increasing southwest wind
to the region. Low pressure moving across Canada will increase
the gradient across New England, with favorable lapse rates to
between 950 mb and 925 mb, winds up to those levels are in play
to be mixed to the surface. Winds in the layer are forecast at
25 knots inland, and 30 to 35 knots along the South Coast and
the Islands.

The upper flow actually shows two streams, north and south. All
of the forecast models indicate the southern jet stream
generates a weak wave over the ocean which moves up the coast.
There is a chance Nantucket gets clipped by the precipitation
shield in the afternoon, but most of it remains offshore.
Temperatures at all levels remain warm enough for this to be
rain.

As the surface low passes to our north, it will swing a cold
front across our area during the afternoon/evening. Much of the
support for lift remains focused in the northern jet stream and
favoring precipitation to our north. Cross sections show a deep
layer of moisture over us, but meager lift most of which is
focused above the -10C to -15C zone. Could be some snow showers
in the higher elevations, especially near the Berkshires, but
flurries elsewhere as the system moves through.

Temps aloft in the mixed layer will be equivalent to -8C to -10C
at 850 mb, so max sfc temps in the upper 30s and lower 40s are
reasonable. Maybe a little cooler in northwest Mass.

Clearing skies Sunday night as the system moves off and drier
air works in. High pressure builds in from the Midwest creating
a tighter pressure gradient during the night and drawing colder
air in aloft. That means colder air and mixing, bringing
northwest winds behind the cold front with gusts of 20 to 25
knots inland and 30 to 35 knots along the coast.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...

*/ Highlights...

 - Wintry mix impacts Tuesday into Tuesday Night
 - Snow, sleet, freezing rain before transitioning to all rain
 - Winds may be an issue for late Tuesday through late Wednesday
 - Unclear forecast pattern for the late week period

*/ Overview...

Signals of a transitional pattern towards the end of week into the
following weekend, yet outcomes over the NE CONUS are unclear. H5
high pressure over the Bering Straight of Alaska changing over to a
dominant low. The -WPO / -EPO trends shifting positive Friday into
the weekend. Rather ensemble forecast flat-flow initially buckles
and becomes more amplified as the W CONUS ridge builds in response
to a fast-mild inflow of Pacific air promoting downstream troughing.
This is slightly enhanced per a negative perturbation on the NAO /
AO by pseudo-rex-block pattern over W / Central Europe yielding a
stronger N Atlantic ridge and subsequent slower upstream pattern.

One would think the NE CONUS may be in for a more active and colder
weather pattern. However, evaluating on up through the stratosphere
it would appear colder air remains locked up N as cross polar flow
echoed down through the upper to mid levels is more or less aimed at
SE Canada where ensemble forecast H5 low resides. A loosened grip of
colder air across the region in mostly absent downstream blocking
despite the aforementioned perturbation, does appear the upstream
Pacific jet maintains a dominant pattern of ridging across the area.

Not entirely clear. Suggestion of prevailing inside-runner lows yet
however some hint of perhaps something more coastal Friday during
the transition and deepening H5 troughing during which the -NAO/-AO
trend prevails. Something to monitor. Overall, per climatology of
teleconnections, a seasonable pattern is suggested, yet more than
likely averaged out. Would expect undulations in temperatures as we
see-saw back and forth if the ensemble forecast long-term pattern is
correct.

Perhaps rambling, totally out of my mind, just trying to make sense
of it all. This winter has not met initially though expectations by
many in the meteorological community. Will convey greater confidence
and forecast thinking in the details below. Main focus on Tuesday
especially, will only touch on the remaining forecast thereafter.

*/ Discussion...

Monday...

High pressure across the region. W/NW flow relaxing. Not well agreed
upon as to depth and magnitude of colder air across the region. It
appears the GFS / Canadian are slightly colder than the NAM / EC at
H925. Averaging around -8C with increasing cloud decks across the
region out of the SW ahead of the over-running setup for Tuesday.
Looking at seasonable conditions with highs around the low to mid
30s.

Monday night through Wednesday...

Wintry mix setup given an inside runner low emerging beneath rather
flat H5 open wave trough. Focus within front-end over-running of the
anti-cyclonic branch of the warm-moist conveyor belt along and ahead
of an accompanying warm front parent to the low.

Seemingly textbook. Decent low to mid level forcing beneath a right-
rear quadrant of an upper level jet. This above undercutting colder
air at the surface from surface high pressure over the SE Canadian
maritimes. The big question is how long can cold air damming prevail
given surface to H925 ageostrophic flow to result in sub-freezing
temperatures at ground level beneath warming within the column aloft
namely around H925 based on forecast sounding profiles. Evaluating
surface wet bulb temperatures as the column saturates. Looking more
intently Monday night into Tuesday.

SREF probabilities and plumes exhibiting weak signals. Perhaps a
result of too light of an event? Coming into the forecast timeframe?
GEFS plumes suggesting an initial mix becoming dominant rain. ECens
showing a high probability of 1 to 3 inches of snow N of the Mass
Pike with values on the high end of the spectrum for high terrain.
Then there's the CIPS analogs highly confident of a 1-hour freezing
rain event across the interior with a 3-6 hour event over N/NE MA,
but this based on the 04.0z GFS. To note, CIPS is only to be as good
as the model. Not sure in having full confidence in 04.0z GFS nor
04.12z GFS. Top analog of 1992.01.23 lacks high pressure over the SE
Canadian maritimes though suggests a decent freezing rain event. As
to the 04.12z GFS, CIPS analogs has the top analog as 2014.03.20
which is more conforming of a snow to rain event with an in-between
band of wintry mix mainly over the N/W interior. Continued signals
of confidence as noted earlier with the 04.0z GFS of 1/3/6 hour
freezing rain.

So a fair amount of varying signals on the precipitation transition
that makes for a tricky forecast. Moderate confidence. Am going to
lean closer to the wet-bulb with 2m temperatures from Tuesday morn
and through the day from the 04.12z NAM. This includes ageostrophic
flow with a more E vector off the maritimes within H975-925. Still
want to lean with more N flow across the interior, especially across
the CT Valley, until the inside runner-low lifts N/E across the E
Great Lakes Tuesday night into Wednesday. Went close w/ MOS guidance
to exhibit this thinking. The warm intrusion just above the surface
and a shallow cold airmass right at the surface, given precipitation
falling through an ever increasing warm layer with time would figure
sub-freezing temperature would be more quick to erode N. So here are
the overall details...

Timing: Onset Tuesday morning starting off as snow. Transition N/W
into the interior with an increasing presence of milder E flow and
over-running warmer air aloft into the Tuesday evening hours. All
rain roughly around midnight Wednesday into the conclusion of the
event late Wednesday.

Snow / Sleet: A roughly 1 to 3 inch event N of the Mass Pike. Higher
amounts over N MA. Coating to an inch for locations S of the Pike.

Ice: Mainly across the higher terrain and within interior valleys of
N/W MA and CT. Looking at a trace up to a tenth of an inch of ice
accretion. Think an E onshore flow will keep the coastal plain to a
simple transition of rain / snow. Expect the typical coastal front
setup eroding N/W with time into N New England.

Winds: May have to watch out for some gusty S/SW winds ahead of the
cold front Tuesday night into Wednesday behind the warm front that
should be lifting N. Mainly a gradient response but should warmer
air surge more effectively N, the forecast sounding stout inversion
may not be as pronounced. Something to monitor.

Impacts: Some concern for the AM rush on Tuesday but onset may be
delayed enough that we experience few troubles. More critical is
perhaps the expectation of sleet / freezing rain ongoing during the
PM Tuesday rush over N/W MA, especially the Route 2 corridor. Such
impacts going into the evening hours before all precipitation is in
the form of rain. Hazardous travel conditions with slick roadways.

Wednesday night onwards...

NW flow and high pressure well agreed upon by consensus of forecast
solutions at first. A general relaxing trend but going to have to
watch conditions initially. Given cold air advection up around H7
and subsequent steepening lapse rates, could turn quite breezy.

By Thursday into Friday there is noteworthy spread in forecast
solutions. Two ends to consider: a near-coastal low versus dominant
high pressure. H5 troughing and accompanying jet dynamics well
agreed upon, but perhaps complicated by surface to mid level
features, for example, upstream energy across the W CONUS that is
deepening along the lee slopes promoting downstream ridging. A
pseudo-rex-block to consider downstream along with the polar H5 low
more situated over the SE Canadian maritimes. Lots of variables to
consider and thus overall confidence is low. Going to have to simply
wait and watch later forecast solutions as attributable energy that
is presently in the N-Central Pacific gets better sampled. Sticking
close to ensemble mean forecasts. Will forego PoP mention and keep
conditions near-seasonable.

.MARINE...

Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Range /through Sunday night/... High confidence

Tonight...

West winds become Southwest during the night. Wind gusts will
diminish below 25 knots this evening. Seas will remain 4 feet or
less.

Sunday... High confidence.

Increasing Southwest winds with gusts 30 to 35 knots. The
increasing wind will build seas with 5 to 8 foot heights on the
outer waters and RI Sound. We will expand the gale watch to
include Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound. Expect this will be
converted to a Gale Warning. An area of rain showers will move
over the southern/southeast waters during the afternoon and may
bring brief vsby reductions.

Sunday night... High confidence.

Cold front crosses the waters and brings a wind shift from the
West Northwest. Wind speeds may briefly lower, but then pick up
again with frequent gusts of 35-40 knots mainly on the outer
waters. Winds diminish late at night.

Outlook /Monday through Thursday/...Moderate confidence.

Period of blustery weather beginning late Tuesday with S/SW gusts
potentially up to gale force ahead of a cold front, sweeping through
late Wednesday, turning out of the W/NW and remaining gusty up to
gale force before diminishing into Thursday. Waves building 8 to 12
feet on the outer waters in following OPC. Nearly multiplied wave
guidance by 2 to get desired outcome considering the gradient wind
forecast with a deepening low through the E Great Lakes region.
