Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
1229 AM EST Fri Mar 3 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Winds will diminish early tonight as powerful low pressure over
New Brunswick moves farther away from the region. An arctic
cold front will cross the region late Friday afternoon and early
evening, which may bring by a few localized heavy snow showers
or squalls. Behind the arctic front near record cold and
bitterly cold wind chills Fri night into Sunday morning. A
warming trend follows next week with temperatures likely in the
50s Tue and Wed along with the risk of showers.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
1000 PM Update...

No major changes with the late evening update. Temps are
dropping a bit slower than previously forecast mainly due to the
continued pres gradient/winds. Therefore, timed the hourly temps
a bit slower, however, with some decoupling late, many locations
will drop into the teens and even a few single digits. Updated
mins to reflect this.

Previous discussion follows...

Expect any leftover strong W-NW wind gusts to diminish this
evening as pressure gradient relaxes somewhat. Still noting
strong cold air advection working across the region with NW wind
flow aloft as cutoff H5 low pressure moves across Quebec
tonight, with H85 temp core of -32C associated with it. H85
temps continue to fall, with readings down to -13C to -17C by
12Z Friday.

Skies will be mainly clear with a very dry airmass through the
layer. With the cold air advection and winds continuing to stir,
will see wind chill values drop to around zero across the higher
inland terrain, ranging to the lower-mid teens across the coastal
plain by around daybreak Friday.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
*** A few locally heavy snow showers or squalls possible late
Friday afternoon and early evening ***

Friday and Friday night...

Another strong H5 short wave and arctic surface front will dive
SE during the afternoon and evening hours. This will bring
another surge of cold air, with H85 readings falling to -17C to
-22C through Friday night.

Short range models continue to signal very steep low level
lapse rates, on the order of 9-10C/km. Also noting some low
level convergence, and even Total total values in the lower 50s
mainly near and S of the Mass Pike. The only question that
remains is the lack of good low level moisture. Have continued
with chance POPs at this point, but would not be surprised to
see some localized brief heavy snow showers or even snow
squalls. Question will be the timing of any potential snow
activity, which could occur during the Friday evening commute
with current timing between 19Z and 00Z Sat. If any snow squalls
do develop, could see roadways quickly become snow covered with
brief reduced visibilities.

Finally, as the short wave moves off the Cape overnight Fri
night, it may start to slow its eastward progression as cutoff
H5 low pressure digs across northern New England as high
amplitude ridge builds across the central U.S. So, could see
some delay in the exit of the precip.

Another round of gusty NW winds will move in and, combining
with the low temps, could see wind chills drop to the single
digits above and below zero, possibly as low as -10 to -15
toward daybreak Saturday across the higher terrain of NW Mass.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Updated 430 PM...

Highlights...

* Near record cold and frigid with bitterly cold wind chills Fri
  night into Sunday morning

* Moderating temps begin Sunday afternoon with above normal temps
  by Tue into Wed

* Showers possible at times Tue/Wed

Sat and Sun...

Models continue to trend toward a more amplified mid level trough
over New England and Atlantic Canada this time period. This
translates to a colder airmass and slower to depart the region. Good
model agreement on 850 mb temps lowering to about -22C/-23C Sat and
continuing into Sat evening before CAA slowly eases late Sat night.
Despite deep blyr mixing the magnitude of the cold air (-2 STD
colder than climo) will limit highs Sat to the lower 20s with upper
teens across the high terrain. This will likely result in record low
max temperatures for the daylight hours of Sat. Just a week ago we
experienced record highs and now record cold. Average the the two
weeks and it's near normal. Very deceiving.

In addition very gusty NW winds combined with the arctic airmass
will yield wind chills from zero to minus 10 early Sat morning and
again late Sat night into early Sun morning! Thus frigid conditions
with bitterly cold wind chills. Not much better Sat afternoon with
wind chills in the single digits.

Given the trough amplitude has trended deeper the CAA lingers into
Sunday morning with blustery NNW winds into much of Sunday. This
will result in colder temps Sunday than previous forecast along with
more wind. Although not nearly has cold as Sat with highs Sunday in
the upper 20s and lower 30s.

Given the anomalous cold airmass temperatures were derived from the
coldest data sets.

Mon...

Cold start to the day especially outside of the urban areas with
1035 mb high over the region. Good radiational cooling conditions
will likely support lows in the teens with low 20s in the urban
areas. Given the more amplified departing trough dry weather will
likely linger into much Monday. Moderating trend continues from

...Snow showers with embedded snow squalls late today...

An arctic cold front will cross the region late this afternoon and
evening. As it does so, scattered snow showers are expected to
develop. Some of these snow showers could become squalls, with
quick accumulations on area roadways and rapid visibility
reductions at times. The best chance for these will occur between
4 PM and 10 PM this evening.

Note that, like summertime thunderstorms, these squalls are will
be hit-or-miss with some locations seeing little to no impact.
