Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
504 PM EDT Sun Mar 12 2017

.SYNOPSIS...

A major winter storm will impact the region Tuesday into Tuesday
night with heavy snow, strong winds, and possible coastal flooding.
Blizzard conditions are possible along portions of eastern MA and
Rhode Island.  Blustery Thursday, then fair and cold Friday as
high pressure builds in. Another round of unsettled weather is
possible during the weekend, currently favoring Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
Still gusty winds in place, but the wind and CAA are diminishing
as high pressure builds east. Clear skies and light wind will
allow radiational cooling overnight. With dew points about 5
degrees either side of zero, expect most min temps in the
single numbers. A few cold spots may dip a couple of degrees
below zero.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
High pressure overhead will keep fair weather through the day
and evening. As the high shifts east, mid and high clouds will
move overhead. Model high-level moisture fields suggest a period
of increased mid-high clouds early afternoon followed by
thinning. Temps at the top of the mixed layer will be equivalent
to -15C thru -17C at 850 mb, so max temps should be mid 20s to
low 30s.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Highlights on Major Winter Storm Tuesday:

* High confidence in 12" to 18" of snow for many locations with
  a low risk for isolated 20" to 24" amounts

* Exception is mainly across the Cape/Islands where snowfall amounts
  are highly uncertain given Ptype uncertainty

* Blizzard conditions along with strong to damaging wind gusts
  possible across eastern MA/RI

Details on Major Winter Storm...

High confidence in a major winter storm for most of the region with
the potential for blizzard conditions and strong to damaging wind
gusts possible across eastern MA/RI.  Confidence in a heavy snowfall
is quite high over much of the county warning area, but given the
event is still 48+ hours out in the model world uncertainty remains.
The two main issues are where the axis of heaviest snow will setup
along with Ptype across extreme southeast new England, focused
across the Cape/Islands.  Will break it down a bit more below.

Timing...

Vigorous shortwave diving down from Canada will spawn rapid
cyclogenesis along the coast.  This will increase the forcing for
ascent and snow should rapidly overspread the region between 4 and 8
am Tuesday morning.  The rapid intensification of this low will
generate an 850 mb easterly low level jet this is 4 to 5 standard
deviations above normal.  The result will be an area of tremendous
omega/frontogenesis developing Tuesday morning and into the
afternoon.  Both the GFS/NAM indicate a period of 30 to 50 units of
omega in the snow growth region for a time.  This certainly may
yield 2 to 4" per hour snowfall rates for a time and would not be
surprised to see a bit of thundersnow.  The heaviest snow should
taper off to snow showers from southwest to northeast Tuesday night
as the intensifying surface low lifts to our northeast.

Snowfall Amounts...

The models have come into much better agreement over the last 24 to
48 hours, but small nuances are enough to make a significant
difference in the overall outcome in some locations.  Given the
overall synoptics and expected strong omega/frontogenesis...we are
quite confident in much of the region receiving 12 to 18 inches of
snow. While QPF may be less on some of the guidance in our western
zones...many models track the mid level low across eastern CT and up
through central MA.  Snowfall amounts are often underdone to the
northwest of this region in the mid level deformation zone/back.
bent mid level warm front.  The exact track this storm and its mid
level centers remains uncertain...but there certainly is a low risk
for isolated 20 to 24" in amounts.  Highest risk for this would
probably be northwest of the Boston to Providence corridor. Portions
of eastern MA/RI may have to contend with a mid level dry slot which
may cut down amounts for some of these locations.  However, models
still show some low level frontogenesis and assistance from a coastal
front that may result in another area of enhanced snowfall.

Ptype Uncertainty...

The most difficult portion of this forecast revolves around ptype
across extreme southeast MA and especially across the the
Cape/Islands.  The NAM model is the most aggressive given its surface
track across far southeast MA allowing for a change to rain across
the south coast and into much of far southeast MA.  We think this is
probably too aggressive, while the GFS showing pretty much all snow
for the Cape/Islands is likely too cold.  Therefore, we blended the
guidance and basically have to 4 to 8 inches of snow in this region.
A lot of uncertainty in these amounts though and they certainly may
need to be adjusted.

Headlines and Strong Winds....

Potent northeast low level jet and good mixing should result in 50
to 60 mph wind gusts along the immediate coast, with 40 to 50 mph
gusts further back into interior eastern MA and RI.  Given the
potential for those wind speeds and heavy snow...opted to expand the
Blizzard Watch across most of eastern MA and RI.  Blizzard
conditions are possible with blowing and drifting snow along with
near white-out conditions possible at times.  Many roads may become
impassable on Tuesday.  In addition...given our very high confidence
in heavy snow across all but the Cape/Islands have converted the
Winter Storm Watch to a Warning.  Will let the later shifts decide
on whether or not confidence is high enough to convert Blizzard
Watches to Blizzard Warnings.

Across the Cape/Islands too much ptype uncertainty, so continued a
Winter Storm Watch and High Wind Watch.  Given the wet nature of the
snow along the coast...there will be an increased risk for tree
damage and power outages.  Something will have to watch closely.

Thursday and Friday...Moderate confidence.

Lingering northwest flow Thursday as high pressure approaches,
but less pressure gradient than Wednesday so expect lighter
winds. High pressure overhead Friday. Expect dry weather both
days.

Saturday and Sunday...Low confidence.

Shortwave races east from the Canadian Prairies and digs
southeast. Associated surface low redevelops along the Mid
Atlantic coast. Timing on this feature has been shifting.
Previously it looked like a Saturday storm. Now it looks like a
Sunday storm. We are indicating chance pops for Sunday, but with
low confidence due to timing.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Tonight and Monday...High confidence.

VFR through the period. NW winds gusting to 25 knots in the
evening will diminish tonight.

KBOS TAF...High confidence.

KBDL TAF...High confidence.

Outlook /Monday Night through Friday/...

Monday Night...High confidence. VFR.

Tuesday and Tuesday Night...Moderate to high confidence. Snow should
arrive between 8z and 12z. Periods of moderate to heavy snow will
result in IFR to LIFR conditions at times through the afternoon
before tapering off Tue night. Northeast Wind gusts of 40 to 50
knots expected along the coast late Tue morning into Tue afternoon,
will result in blowing and drifting snow. Ptype mainly snow except a
change to rain may occur across the Cape/Islands.

Wednesday...Moderate Confidence.

Conditions improving to VFR in general, but with areas of MVFR
in scattered snow showers. Northwest winds will gust to 30
knots.

Thursday-Friday...High confidence. VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Tonight...High confidence.

West northwest winds gusting 25 to 30 kt will diminish early
tonight. Areas of light freezing spray will slowly diminish
overnight. Lingering 5 to 6 foot seas on the outer waters, but
these will subside toward morning. Small Craft Advisory remains
in effect through evening, then ends close to shore while an
advisory remains in effect overnight over the outer waters.

Monday...High confidence.

High pressure moves over the waters. Winds will become light,
then shift from the south and southwest late afternoon. Some 5
foot seas east of Cape Cod early, otherwise seas below 5 feet
through the day.

Outlook /Monday Night through Friday/...

High confidence.

* Dangerous Conditions for Mariners Tuesday and Tuesday Night *

Monday Night...High confidence.  Light winds and flat seas ahead of
the approaching storm.

Tuesday and Tuesday night...Moderate to high confidence.
Intensifying low pressure system will result in rapidly building
winds/seas Tuesday morning.  By Tue afternoon...expect northeast
wind gusts of 45 to 55 knots with a low risk for a few gusts up to
60 knots.  Seas should build to over 20 feet by late Tue and Tue
night across our eastern outer-waters.  Storm Watches remain posted
for all waters with strong Gales across Boston Harbor and
Narragansett Bay.  These headlines will likely need to be upgraded
to Warnings in the next 12 to 24 hours.

Wednesday...Moderate confidence.

Northwest winds 25 to 30 knots. Lingering 8 to 13 foot seas on
the outer waters, and 5 to 9 feet on the exposed waters closer
to shore such as Mass Bay and RI Sound. Seas further diminishing
Wednesday night. Small Craft Advisory will be needed. Low
probability for Gales.

Thursday and Friday...Moderate confidence.

Diminishing northwest wind as high pressure approaches from the
west. Lingering 5 foot seas on the outer waters Thursday, then
seas below 5 feet Friday.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...

We hoisted a Coastal Flood Watch for the early Tuesday afternoon
high tide cycle along the eastern MA Coast, which includes the Cape
and Nantucket.  We are fortunate that the high tide is not a few
hours later, when the seas will be more built up.
Nonetheless...given potential for northeast wind gusts of 50 knots
and a 2 to 3 foot storm surge minor coastal flooding with pockets of
moderate coastal flooding are possible along with some beach
erosion.  A timing change by just a few hours will make a
difference...so felt it was worth a watch at this time.

Also, will need to watch the late Tue night high tide given seas
will still be built up.  If the wind stays north we can not rule out
some minor to perhaps even isolated pockets of moderate coastal
flooding.
