Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
111 PM EST Thu Feb 15 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Unseasonably mild into Friday afternoon with another round of
rain later tonight into early Friday morning. Dry but much
colder weather returns Friday night into Saturday. A fast moving
low pressure system will likely bring accumulating snow to much
of the region Saturday night into early Sunday morning...but
amounts remain uncertain. Above normal temperatures will quickly
return early next week with the potential for near record high
temperatures Tuesday and possibly Wednesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1015 AM Update...

Area of dense fog across central-W Mass into N central CT that
developed around 12Z and has been persistent over the last few
hours. The fog has lifted across N Central CT as of 15Z, but
remains across central and W Mass to the E slopes of the
Berkshires. Should see slow improvement over the next 2-3 hours
there. Elsewhere, low clouds linger across most of the region
except NE Mass where some breaks in the clouds are seen on
GOES-East visible satellite.

With the low clouds and fog, temps have been slow to rise
especially where the dense fog lingers. Once the fog and low
clouds lift, though, should see temps rise as well. Have updated
to lower temps a few degrees due to the lingering clouds.

Remainder of forecast in pretty good shape but did bring near
term conditions current and incorporated trends for the
afternoon.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
Overnight into Fri AM...
A stronger slightly more acute wave will slide E from the Great
Lakes, attendant to sfc cold frontal passage late. Given high
PWATS, around 1.10 inches or nearly 4 std deviations above
normal, will likely see more widespread RA during the overnight
with this wave passage/fropa. Given the fact that this will be
associated with a sfc convergent boundary and high PWATs
(K-values exceed 30 as well) rain could be heavy enhanced by
SLIs near 0 and high TTs. Will also include a very low risk for
TS, mainly across the S coast where these convective indices are
highest. Widespread QPF is mainly between 0.25-0.50, mainly
because the overall system/wave is progressive. However, given
the factors suggesting brief heavier downpours, would not be
surprised if localized spots exceed reach 0.50-1.00. Overall, a
mild wet night for Feb standards. Rain should gradually end from
NW-SE after sunrise, as drier air W winds push in from the W.

Remainder of Fri...
Dry air and CAA follow the cold frontal passage. This will allow
drier air and clearing through the day. The coldest airmass
lags, so highs, especially with afternoon sunshine will remain
mild, in the 40s-50s. Given these anomalously warm sfc temps,
afternoon mixing should also easily tap strong westerlies 30-40
kt at H92, yielding windy conditions through the afternoon.

&&

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

* Dry but turning much colder Fri night/Sat

* Accumulating snow likely Sat night/early Sun AM but uncertainty on
  amounts/location and thermal profiles

* Period of rain showers likely Mon afternoon/evening

* Near record high temperatures likely Tue and possible Wed

Details...

Friday night and Saturday...

Dry but much colder moves in behind the front Friday evening on
blustery northwest winds.  High pressure building in from the west
will allow winds to diminish later Friday night and especially
toward daybreak Saturday.  This will allow low temps to drop into
the teens across many locations...while lower to middle 20s will be
common in downtown Boston/Providence as well as the Cape/Islands.
High temps on Saturday will reach well into the 30s...but light
winds/sunshine will take the bite off the chilly temperatures.

Saturday night...

Accumulating snow appears likely Sat night...but considerable
uncertainty remains regarding amounts/locations and if there are
ptype issues on the coastal plain. Shortwave energy approaching from
the west will combined with surface low lifting northeast out of the
southeast states. The issue is that the upper level flow is very
progressive and given the tight packing in the height fields...the
track of this fast moving system is quite uncertain. However...given
the system/s origins it will be loaded with moisture so a fast
moving snowstorm is a possibility if it tracks close enough to the
coast.

The strength and amplification of the shortwave energy will
determine how close to the coast this fast moving low pressure
system tracks.  The individual ensemble runs remain more important
at this stage of the event than the specific operational runs.
Unfortunately...they continue to show a great deal of spread given
the overall pattern. Solutions range from a miss/glancing blow to a
fast moving snowstorm.  In fact...given that the high is moving away
from the region and antecedent airmass is not spectacularly cold if
the system comes too close to the coast some ptype/boundary layer
issues would be a concern especially on the coastal plain.

In a nutshell...while a complete miss can/t be ruled out that looks
to be a lower probability at this point given upper air pattern and
ensembles.  We will say that accumulating snow appears likely...but
amounts remain uncertain along with potential ptype issues on the
coastal plain and especially Cape/Islands.

Sunday...

What ever happens with this system...the bulk of the precipitation
will have come to an end by daybreak Sunday.  So if we do end up
with a fast moving snowstorm...it will be lower impact than usual
given the timing of the event.  The one thing will have to watch is
if the storm follows the more amplified ECMWF and results in a swath
of 6+ inches of wet snow along the coastal plain...there would be
the low risk for isolated power outages.

Otherwise...temperatures on Sunday will rise into the 40s so travel
will be fine by late Sunday morning/afternoon.

Monday...

A warm front will approach the region and probably result in a
period of showers sometime Monday afternoon and/or night.  High
temps Monday should be mainly in the 40s.

Tuesday/Wednesday...

Very anomalous upper level ridge over the southeast coast builds
northward bringing above to well above normal temperatures to
southern New England.  Just how mild temps get will depend on the
amount of sunshine and whether we eventually get shallow cool air to
slip south...which can often happen this time of year. The guidance
is in pretty good agreement in near record high temps in the 60s Tue
and perhaps again on Wed.  Lower confidence on Wed given the
potential for a backdoor cold front...but if it does not come
through there would even be a low risk for temps to exceed 70 in a
few locales. However...on the flip side of the coin a backdoor cold
frontal passage could result in Wed highs in the 40s to lower 50s.

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /through Friday night/...

This afternoon...Moderate confidence.
IFR-LIFR CIGS linger across most areas through around 20Z-21Z
then should improve to MVFR with low end VFR. Areas of MVFR-IFR
VSBYS, lowest along S coastal areas and the CT Valley, improving
to VFR around mid to late afternoon. Lower conditions will
linger across S coastal areas with moist onshore flow.

Tonight...Moderate confidence.
Briefly VFR conditions through 03Z, then lower to IFR with
pockets of LIFR. Expect widespread -RA and areas of fog to move
across. Light S-SW winds shift to W toward daybreak.

Friday...Moderate confidence.
Scattered -SHRA linger through mid to late morning with MVFR to
local IFR conditions, then improving to VFR. W-NW winds gust to
25-30 kt across higher inland terrain and along immediate E
coast Friday afternoon.

Friday night...Moderate to high confidence.
VFR conditions. W-NW winds gusting to 20-30 kt with local 35 kt
across outer Cape Cod and Nantucket through 04Z-05Z, then
diminishing.

KBOS Terminal...Moderate confidence in TAF.

KBDL Terminal...Moderate confidence in TAF.

Outlook /Saturday through Monday/...Moderate Confidence.

Saturday: VFR.

Saturday Night: MVFR/IFR conditions possible. SN likely perhaps
mixed with RN across portions of the coastal plain.

Sunday: VFR. Breezy.

Sunday Night: VFR.

Washington's Birthday: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible.
Breezy. SHRA likely.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /through Friday/...High confidence.

Through early Friday...
S-SW winds remain below 25 kt through the period but will be
persistent, so ocean swells will build to 5-8 ft late tonight
into early Fri on the S waters. Small craft advisories will be
issued for this risk and will continue until the westerlies
develop early Fri. Otherwise, fog on the waters today and rain
overnight will lead to visibility restrictions.

Friday...
W winds increase, and although seas may dip initially because of
this, wind gusts are likely to reach 35-40 kt by the late
afternoon. Gale Watches have been issued.

Outlook /Friday Night through Monday/...Moderate to High Confidence.

Friday Night: Strong small craft to gale force winds with gusts
up to 35 kt. Gale Watches hoisted for our eastern waters...where
confidence is highest.  Rough seas up to 11 ft.

Saturday: Winds less than 25 kt. Local rough seas.

Saturday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching
5 ft. Rain, snow. Local visibility 1 nm or less.

Sunday: Winds less than 25 kt. Slight chance of rain showers.

Sunday Night: Winds less than 25 kt.

Washington's Birthday: Winds less than 25 kt. Chance of rain
showers.
