What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this gale warning 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 gale warning went out at Mar 16, 1:38 AM EDT, 2 hours 21 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 16, 1:38 AM EDT, 2 hours 21 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
138 AM EDT Fri Mar 16 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Mainly dry but unseasonably cold weather is anticipated through
early next week. There is the potential for a Noreaster to
impact the region late Tuesday into Thursday...but there is low
confidence and it is not a certainty.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
10PM update...

Upper lvl shortwave pivoting S of the region per last WV
imagery. The sfc reflection is a dry/weak cold front which is
moving across S New England already this evening and should be
fully offshore by morning. Noting breaks in the low-mid deck of
clouds. However, the sfc pres gradient only strengthens somewhat
with the frontal passage, so this will limit ability for
radiational cooling. However, CAA will still yield mins in the
mid 20s to low 30s, which is pretty much what already forecast,
so no significant changes are necessary. Mainly brought the
hourly temps and dewpoints up to current trends as the remainder
of the forecast fields are on track.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
Friday...
As another short wave clears across the region early Friday,
will continue to see H85 temps continue to fall though the core
of the cold will remain N of the region. H85 readings will
bottom out in the -12C to -14C range and H925 temps from -6C
to -8C Friday afternoon. So, with a mix of clouds and sun
especially across central and N Mass, along with the colder air
aloft, temps will not be quite as mild as there were today.
Expect readings to only top off in the upper 20s to around 30
across the higher terrain, ranging to 35-40 across the coastal
plain. Gusty W-NW winds return thanks to good low level lapse
rates and excellent mixing aloft, reaching 25-35 mph.

Friday night...
With a continued W-NW wind flow across the region, H85 temps
remain in the -12C to -14C range. Dry air will yield mostly
clear skies through around midnight, then clouds will increase
mainly across central and northern Mass. Another short wave with
another core of cold air (H85 temps down to -26C to -30C) works
SE in the continued long NW wind flow out of central Quebec.
Though the coldest air appears to remain across central and
northern New England, will still see a good chunk of it moving
across. NW winds will pick up again with gusts up to 25-40 mph,
highest across the higher terrain and along the immediate
coast.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Highlights:

* Mainly dry but unseasonably cold this weekend into Monday

* Noreaster possible late Tue into Thu but low confidence and
  it is not a certainty that we are impacted

Details...

Saturday through Monday...

A couple pieces of northern stream energy will be diving
southeastward across far northern New England and the Canadian
Maritimes this weekend into Monday. The trough axis to our east
will keep us dry, except perhaps for a brief passing snow shower
or two with a cold front on Saturday. Otherwise...northwest
flow aloft and at the surface will result in dry but
unseasonably cold temperatures. High temperatures this weekend
into Monday will mainly be in the 30s. Lows generally in the
teens to lower 20s...but can not rule out some single digit
readings in the normally coldest spots of western MA with the
snowpack in place.

Tuesday through Thursday...

The potential for a Noreaster exists late Tue into Thu...but
there is low confidence and it is not a certainty that we will
be impacted. This potential event is 5 to 7 days in the future
so there is not much more to say at this point other than it
bears watching. As usual this will revolve around interaction
between several pieces of shortwave energy and their specific
timing/strength. All options remain on the table from a
complete whiff, to a wintry mix, or a late season significant
snowstorm. It will be at least a few more days until we will
have a better idea.
