...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 AM EST
MONDAY...
* LOCATION...Coastal Plymouth county as well as Barnstable
county.
* TIDAL DEPARTURE...Storm surge of 1 to 2 feet.
* TIMING...The overnight high tide cycle.
* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Minor coastal flooding and splash over
are expected during the overnight high tide cycle. The typical
low lying areas will most likely see inundation as well as
locations that have received breaches in dunes and seawalls.
While this high tide will not have as large of an impact as
the last couple days...some locations are more vulnerable
given the impacts from this long duration event.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Coastal Flood Advisory is issued for minor coastal flooding of
the most vulnerable shore roads and/or basements due to the
height of storm tide or wave splashover. The majority of roads
remain passable with only isolated closures. There is no
significant threat to life...and impact on property is minimal.
&&
&&
Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.
Category thresholds are based on still water levels. Impacts
may be greater, depending upon wave action.

The local office's own words before this coastal flood statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Boston/Norton, MA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this coastal flood statement went out at Mar 4, 7:00 PM EST, 1 hour 35 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 4, 7:00 PM EST, 1 hour 35 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
700 PM EST Sun Mar 4 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
A fast moving disturbance will bring a period of snow to much
of the region late tonight into early Monday morning with minor
accumulations possible. Drier weather then moves in for late
Monday into Tuesday. A winter storm is looking more likely
Wednesday into early Thursday with significant snow and wind,
then a trend toward drier but colder weather follows later
Thursday into Saturday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
* Minor snow accumulations overnight especially across southeast MA
7PM update...
The ole meteorological squeeze-play already in effect this
evening. Upper lvl shortwave is combining with lingering energy
from the powerful offshore storm to yield a modest sfc- low lvl
trof and attendant lift across the region. This lift is working
on the available moisture to yield very light SN across much of
the region. The rates should preclude much if any accumulations
except for on cars/grassy sfcs through the evening.
Mesoscale guidance continues to support a slight shift toward a
more acute sfc trof with help from ocean instability mainly late
this evening into the early AM hours focused on E MA/RI. During
this period, SN rates may increase somewhat, with accumulations
1-2 inches possible across the area. Once again, this should
mostly be on grassy surfaces as roads sfcs are generally warm.
Still some light SN could still be falling by the early hours of
the commute which may require extension of the special
statement currently out.
Previous discussion follows...
Impressive shortwave/closed 500 mb low will be diving southeast
across western New England this evening. The result will be
scattered snow showers this evening...which may be in the form of
rain showers at the onset. This will setup a brief inverted trough
and pull in deeper moisture/forcing from the distant ocean storm.
Appears areas east of the CT River Valley will see a period of
steady snow roughly between midnight and 6 am. The best forcing
will be located across eastern MA and there appears to be some
land/sea interface and ocean enhancement...particularly across
southeast MA. Thermal profiles overnight support ptype to be mainly
snow...except perhaps across portions of the outer-Cape and
Nantucket.
Given what we discussed above expect many areas to receive a coating
to 2 inches of snow east of the CT River Valley. Localized 3 inch
amounts are possible across portions of southeast MA and perhaps
onto the upper Cape. While temperatures will be cold enough for snow
given profiles aloft...surface temperatures will generally range
from between 32 and 34 in the lower elevations. This should result
in a most paved surfaces remaining wet or perhaps slushy with most
snow accumulations on grassy surfaces. It is possible though that if
we can get enough intensity...roads may become briefly snow covered
and slippery in the lower elevations. This may also happen in the
higher terrain...where snow intensity will be less but temperatures
colder We did go ahead and issue a special weather statement to
highlight this potential east of the CT River Valley. The bulk of
snow will be coming to an end between 5 and 7 am.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
* Wind headlines posted Monday for the Cape/Islands
Monday...
Any lingering snow showers should come to an end across the
southeast New England coast by mid to late Monday morning.
Otherwise...main story will be another round of strong winds across
the Cape/Islands as the ocean storm temporarily retrogrades
increasing the pressure gradient. Northerly wind gusts of 40 to 50
mph are expected for the Cape and Islands where a wind advisory has
been posted. Further inland across the coastal plain it will not be
quite as windy...but still expect some gusts around 35 mph.
Otherwise, after any lingering snow showers end by late Monday
morning along the southeast New England coast mainly dry weather is
on tap for Monday. We will once again see an abundance of
clouds...but a few peeks of sunshine are also expected. High
temperatures will mainly be in the upper 30s to the lower 40s.
Monday night...
The ocean storm will once again begin to move slowly east allowing
the strong winds to gradually diminish along the southeast New
England coast. A bit more colder air will filter into the region
from northern New England than we have seen in recent days...so
expect overnight low temps to drop into the 20s to the lower 30s.
NNE low level flow and 850T between -8C and -10C may allow for
scattered flurries/light snow showers along the eastern MA
coast...but not expecting anything more than a dusting at this
time.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Highlights...
* Temperatures at or cooler than normal this period
* Tuesday - pick of the week with light winds and sunshine
* Significant Snow and Wind Possible Wednesday into early Thursday
* Cool but with improvement toward the weekend
Overview and model preferences...
Examining both teleconnections and H5 GPH anomalies continues
to favor a gradual breakdown in the amplification and blocking
pattern through the late week. AO/NAO/PNA all continue to trend
toward neutral from their strongly negative magnitude this
weekend. This results and gradually diminishing positive height
anomalies within the block as it retrogrades into QC from
Labrador. However, as this gradual transition occurs, it also
allows Pacific energy to get caught up with arctic influenced PV
anomaly diving S along the W periphery of the weakening block,
shifting from Hudsons Bay S toward the Great Lakes. How
efficiently these phase, if at all, will help to determine the
track of a secondary coastal low pres, which will develop as the
energy from the parent Great Lakes mid week. This is the
potential storm that has been advertised over the last 48 hours,
and will be the feature to watch this coming week. There
remains enough spread in final track of the coastal low between
both operational and ensemble guidance to continue leaning on an
overall mean between ensembles (most weight) and operational
guidance (less weight). Will continue with this blend throughout
the remainder of the long term forecast.
Details...
Tuesday...
Overall a pleasant March day. H92 temps hover in the -2C to
-3C range with mixing likely reaching just beyond, which should
yield high temps in the low-mid 40s. Agree with previous
forecaster that there is likely to be some clouds around to
spoil the sunshine at times given we are wedged between the
strong offshore storm from this weekend and a parent low pres
over the Great lakes. However, dry wx will prevail.
Wed into Thu...
Some of the necessary players continue to fall in line for a
typical S New England coastal storm with accumulating snowfall,
some strong winds and potential for p-type issues across SE
portions of the forecast area. Given the overall pattern becomes
more progressive, PWAT plume is unable to tap Gulf of Mexico
moisture like this previous system did, and as such PWATs only
rise to 1 standard deviation above normal, or around 0.75in.
Even though this moisture plume is not overly impressive, as the
coastal low deepens toward 980hPa and makes its closest pass
overnight Wed night, there will be strong dynamic forcing to
make up the difference. Noting that within a well defined trowal
resides an strong Ely LLJ, 50-60 kt (3 std deviations above
climatology) which will shift toward S New England as the low
passes. Also, noting that as the low deepens, low-mid lvl
heights cutoff, suggesting a good setup for banding. While these
all suggest the possibility of a high QPF event, (and indeed
ensemble probabilities still support final liquid totals over
1.00), the actual track will define the SLRs, where the banding
sets up, and whether a change to rain is imminent across the E
third of S New England. 12Z Operational GFS remains a W outlier,
bringing the low pres well inside the 40/70 benchmark and even
over Cape Cod. Of the operational models, CMC is now well S of
the benchmark, with a miss. ECMWF and several ensemble members
are in between, but this will have to be watched.
All in all, taking a mean approach still supports a good setup
for interior MA/RI/CT, especially in the higher terrain where
some upslope under E flow is enhanced. With QPF still ranging
between 0.75-1.50in (similar to last couple of runs), the risk
for warning level snow is rising as even if lower 10 to 1 SLRs
are observed and this could include the I-95 corridor if the
clustering toward the 40/70 benchmark continues. The key is the
introduction of temps of +2C or higher along this area, which
could force a change to rain. Expect totals to become more
refined with time.
Strong winds are also a risk especially across the E/SE
assuming the core of the LLJ does not push too far SE given
50-60kt at H92. The better news, is that given this is a more
progressive system, and astro-tides will be much lower, coastal
flooding looks to be a low risk at this point. Only caveat may
be areas that are left vulnerable and/or of the low pres slows.
Something to watch, but a much lower risk.
Fri...
Although improvement from late Thu into early Fri is expected,
the coastal low pres is likely to Fujiwhara somewhat as it
encounters the remnants of the storm from the last 48 hours
offshore. This may actually force a slight retrograde as the
upper lvls show signs of cutting off. Dry slot will be wrapping
into the system with time however, which could help prevent it
from being too significant in the long run, but will have to
watch this process and help trap some of the milder air aloft
initially. Again, will need to watch this as it could yield more
snow even well after the initial impacts have passed. Temps mid
30s to low 40s.
Next weekend...
Cutoff should begin a slow slide into the Maritimes which will
finally allow the core of a modified arctic airmass to move into
New England. H92 temps dip as low as -6C as a mean, so expect
highs to be limited in the 30s most likely. However, noting
enough subsidence and influence of high pres to suggest mainly
dry conditions.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Short Term /through Monday Night/...
Overnight...Moderate confidence.
Areas of light -SN/RA continue through early AM hours, but trend
toward -SN everywhere. Overall, vsbys in the -SN should remain
generally VFR to higher end MVFR. Between the hours of 03Z and
10Z and especially E MA/RI, -SN could yield predominantly MVFR
vsbys, along with MVFR CIGS all sites. Coating to about 2 inches
mainly on the grass with mostly just wet runways. The -SN tapers
off between 09Z-12Z. Otherwise N-NW winds increase overnight
with sustained winds 10-15 kt most terminals (20-25 kt outer
Cape/Islands) and gusts 20-30 kt most terminals (35-45 outer
Cape/Islands) peaking during the early morning.
Monday...Moderate to high confidence. No significant changes
for Mon with 00Z TAF update. MVFR conditions in the morning
should improve to mainly VFR by afternoon. Some lingering light
snow showers across the Cape/Islands should end by mid to late
morning. NNE wind gusts around 30 knots along the coastal
plain...but 35 to 45 knots across the Cape/Islands.
Monday night...Moderate to high confidence. Mainly VFR conditions
but some marginal MVFR cigs may develop along the coast with NNE
flow. Strong NNE wind gusts along the southeast New England coast
should gradually diminish after as the night wears along.
KBOS Terminal...High confidence in overall TAF trends. Timing
may be off a bit. Mainly VFR in -SN through about 03Z with
occasional MVFR vsbys and dominant MVFR CIGS through 10Z with
slightly heavier SN. Accumulations mainly on grass rather than
runways, which should remain mostly wet. SN/CIGS taper through
the morning.
KBDL Terminal...Moderate confidence. SHSN linger through about
04Z before ending for the most part. However, MVFR conditions
linger as lower CIGS remain in place through early AM.
Outlook /Tuesday through Friday/...
Tuesday: Mainly VFR.
Tuesday Night: Mainly VFR.
Wednesday: IFR with LIFR conditions possible. Windy with local
gusts to 30 kt. SN with some rain possible mainly southeast.
Wednesday Night: Mainly IFR, with local LIFR possible. Windy
with gusts to 30 kt. SN, RA.
Thursday: MVFR/IFR conditions possible. Windy with local gusts
to 30 kt. Lingering SN changing to RA.
Thursday Night: Mainly VFR. Breezy. Slight chance SHSN.
Friday: Mainly MVFR, with local IFR possible. Breezy. Slight
chance SHRA, slight chance SHSN.
&&
.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Short Term /through Monday Night/...
Tonight and Monday...High confidence. Retrograding ocean storm will
once again increase the pressure gradient late tonight and Monday.
The result will be NNE wind gusts increasing to between 35 to 45
knots over most waters and Gale Headlines are in effect. Seas also
will not be able to subside and remain at 10 to 15+ feet across our
eastern waters.
Monday night...High confidence. Gale force wind gusts will slowly
subside from west to east Monday night as the ocean storm begins to
move east of the region again. Nonetheless...still expect northerly
wind gusts of 25 to 30 knots by daybreak Tuesday across most
waters.
Outlook /Tuesday through Friday/...
Tuesday: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts up
to 25 kt. Rough seas up to 16 ft.
Tuesday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Rough seas up to 14 ft.
Small craft advisories continue.
Wednesday: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with local
gusts up to 30 kt. Rough seas up to 12 ft. Rain. Visibility 1
to 3 nm.
Wednesday Night: Gale force winds with gusts up to 35 kt. Rough
seas up to 17 ft. Rain, snow. Local visibility 1 to 3 nm.
Thursday: Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts up to 30 kt.
Rough seas up to 17 ft. Chance of rain. Local visibility 1 to 3
nm.
Thursday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Rough seas up to 12 ft.
Small craft advisories remain in place for seas.
Friday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of rough seas. Slight
chance of rain showers.

.HYDROLOGY...
Minor flooding continues along the Pawcatuck, Taunton
and Pawtuxet Rivers. Please see our latest Flood Warnings for
more information on these rivers.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
* Coastal Flood Advisory Overnight Across Eastern MA
Although astronomical tides continue to lower persistent strong NNE
winds gusts and 10 to 15+ foot seas offshore will likely result in
pockets of minor coastal flooding during the overnight high tide
cycle across the eastern MA coast. Impacts certainly much less than
Friday or Saturday...but some shoreline roads will be impacted and
areas that have experienced damage may see things exacerbated. The
Monday afternoon and the late Monday night high tide may also
experience some minor impacts.
For the work week...Seas and surge will slowly subside through
Tuesday. The astronomical high tide continues to slowly decline.
In fact, the tide will be low enough to mitigate impacts from
another, albeit probably more progressive, nor'easter which
looks affect our region during mid week.
