Area forecast discussion, Oct 15, 3:15 AM EDT, 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
315 AM EDT Mon Oct 15 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure south of New England provides dry cool weather
overnight. A cold front will bring scattered showers Monday
into Monday night along with a few heavy downpours possible
Monday evening. Drier cooler air moves in behind the front
Tuesday along with gusty winds. A cold front moves through New
England late Wednesday. Much colder air moves in behind the
front Wednesday night on gusty northwest winds. The cold weather
lingers through Friday morning, then moderates during Friday.
Another cold front swings through on Saturday followed by more
cold air Sunday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
1010 PM Update...
Skies remain mostly clear except for some mid and high clouds
along the immediate S coast into Long Island at 02Z as seen on
latest GOES-East Nighttime Microphysics composite satellite and
surface obs.
Also noting some patchy fog developing in the KOWD-KTAN-KEWB
corridor of interior E Mass as well as at KIJD and into SW NH at
02Z. Dewpts have been steady or rising at most locations, except
falling a bit with the calm winds and radiational cooling in the
normally cooler locations. This conditions should not last too
long as mid and high clouds push in overnight, as well as light
S-SW winds bringing slightly milder temps in after midnight.
Other than a few minor adjustments to bring conditions current,
overnight forecast pretty much on track.
Previous Discussion...
1024 mb high building south of New England will provide dry
weather tonight along with light winds and cool temperatures.
While radiational cooling conditions will not be ideal given
mid/high clouds from time to time, dew pts in the 30s and light
winds will promote temps to fall into the mid/upper 30s across
northern- northwest MA with low to mid 40s elsewhere. These min
temps are right on track for mid October. Temps may level off or
even rise a deg or two after 07Z or so as clouds lower and/or
S-SW begin to increase.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
330 PM update...
Monday...
Showers overspread the region ahead of approaching short wave trough
and attending cold front. Other than some spotty light rain showers
at daybreak, widespread showers hold off until until 8 am to 10 am
for Hartford/Springfield to 11 am to 1 pm for RI and eastern MA.
Much of the guidance especially the HREF indicates showers will come
in two surges, 1st batch Monday morning and early afternoon followed
by a break and then a second batch during the evening from west
to east. The second round may have some heavier downpours
especially across CT/RI and southeast MA as strong synoptic
scale lift combines with PWATs climbing to 1.75 inches and some
elevated instability as Showalter indices drop to zero to -1.
Time frame looks to be 5 pm to 11 pm west to east and mainly
south of the Mass Pike.
It will become breezy during the afternoon and evening as modest low
level SW jet of 40-50 kt moves across the area. Model soundings
indicate low level lapse rates are about neutral so much of this
wind will remain aloft however can expect gusts up to 35 mph or so.
Given trees remain fully leaved this may be sufficient to down some
small branches but thinking a wind advisory is not necessary.
However later shifts will have to monitor how models trend on the
strengthen of the low level jet, which is increasing with time as it
moves across the area.
Very mild Monday given strong low level WAA with 925 mb temps
warming to about +15C! This should supports highs 65-70, cooler
across northwest MA. Nonetheless mild showers especially in the
afternoon/evening RI and eastern MA. It will feel mild especially
south coast of RI and MA as dew pts climb into the low 60s by days
end.
Monday night...
Heavier showers with embedded thunder possible across CT/RI and
southeast MA begin to exit offshore later in the evening with FROPA.
Fairly robust CAA behind the front and NW winds likely gusts up to
35-40 mph. Again probably not sufficient to warrant wind advisory
headline but possibly strong enough to down a few small branches.
Later shifts will have to monitor if models trend stronger with post
frontal winds. Rapidly drying thru the column toward daybreak Tue so
expect at least some sunshine to greet us Tue morning along with
gusty NW winds, cooler temps and much drier airmass.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Big Picture...
Baffin-Hudson upper low anchors a broad trough over the Northeast
and North Central USA. Coastal Pacific ridge and Southwest USA upper
low form a blocked flow along the Pacific coast. The western ridge
flattens for a couple of days, then rebuilds over next weekend.
Two shortwaves move through the jet flow during the long term.
The first moves through Wednesday night, the second digs over
the weekend and crosses New England Sunday. The jet flow loads
air from the Canadian Arctic behind the Wednesday trough,
bringing it across New England Wednesday night through Friday
morning. The jet flow then shifts as the western ridge flattens.
This loads air from Alaska and Nrn British Columbia behind the
weekend trough.
Contour heights are forecast below normal midweek, near normal
Friday-Saturday, and below normal again Sunday. Expect a
similar trend in temperatures during this period.
Model mass and thermal fields are in general agreement through
Saturday, then show differences in detail with the weekend trough.
Overall forecast confidence is moderate-high through the period.
Concerns...
Tuesday night-Wednesday...
Upper trough moves through supported by a 140 kt jet. Trough also
brings a cold pool with 500-mb temps -20C to -28C. Even so, moisture
is forecast mainly at or below 500 mb with a relatively dry surface
layer. Dynamic lift will be weak. This suggests a dry frontal
passage with the best chance of showers in Western MA, possibly
Central MA and parts of northern CT. Mixing to 850 mb brings
potential for 30-35 kt west-northwest gusts. Temps in the mixed
layer are 0-1C east and -2C west, support max sfc temps in the 50s
and perhaps near 60 east.
Wednesday night through Friday morning...
Plains high pressure builds Wednesday night. Pressure gradient
and cold advection Wednesday night will maintain gusty winds and
transport cold air. Winds in the column will be near 30 kt
Wednesday night and 25 kt Thursday. The ridge moves overhead
Thursday night bringing light wind. Lingering moisture near 850
mb may support a few clouds Wednesday night, but otherwise
mainly clear skies through Thursday night.
The forecast 500-mb heights and 850-mb tempertures are more
than 2 Std Deviations below normal for mid October. Temperatures
in the mixed layer at -8C suggest high sfc temps in the 40s.
Nighttime temperatures upstream in Nrn Canada are in the upper
20s and 30s, and this will be used for the Wed night/Thursday
night min temps.
The presence of wind Wednesday night should prevent much frost, but
some min temps near 32F may lead to freezing concerns in the Central
Hills and Berkshires. Clear skies and light wind Thursday night will
present frost and freeze concerns over most of Southern New England.
Friday afternoon-Saturday-Sunday...
High pressure moves offshore. Return flow around the high will bring
milder air back into New England. The next trough approaches this
weekend. The surface cold front swings through on Saturday with a
150 kt jet overhead providing dynamic support, while a moisture
column reaches sfc to 400 mb and provides support for showers.
Colder air moves in Sunday with the upper trough moves overhead.
Cold pool clouds are a concern for Sunday, low confidence on any
showers.
&&
.AVIATION /07Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Short Term /through Tuesday/...
03Z Update...
Overnight...Mainly VFR conditions, except for patchy IFR-LIFR
CIGS/MVFR-IFR VSBYS in patchy fog in the normally susceptible
valley locations of interior E Mass and portions of the CT
valley/NE CT. Conditions may improve after 07Z or so as mid and
high clouds move in and temps level off or even rise a bit on
light S-SW winds. May see more general MVFR CIGS approach S
coastal terminals toward daybreak. Low risk of -SHRA moving into
E slopes of the Berkshires after 10Z with brief local MVFR
VSBYS.
A mid level deck of clouds moves in from the southwest Monday
morning lowering CIGs to MVFR generally after 12Z. -SHRA and
associated lower CIGs and VSBYs arrive to KBDL and KBAF by 12Z
and spread east through the morning, with another round of -SHRA
expected Monday evening.
Previous Discussion...
Monday/Monday night...
MVFR becoming widespread during the morning from west to east.
First round of showers arrive 12z-15z from west to east then
becoming light and spotty during the afternoon before second
round 23z-05z. This second round may contain some heavy
downpours and isolated elevated thunder. Marginal LLWS as 40-50
kt southwest jet moves across the region during the afternoon
and early evening. Some of this wind may mix down to the surface
with a few southwest wind gusts up to 30 kt, highest across RI
and eastern MA. Cold frontal passage with wind shift to the NW
and improving conditions arrives after 06z from west to east.
KBOS Terminal...High confidence in TAF. Marginal LLWS Monday
afternoon and evening. At the surface, S-SW winds may gusts up
to 30 kt. Heavy showers with isolated thunder Monday night may
remain south of the airport. Showers Monday morning become less
numerous during the afternoon.
