Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
356 AM EST Mon Jan 15 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Another very cold day is on tap with some accumulating snow across
portions of eastern MA into this evening. Low pressure drives east
from the Great Lakes Tuesday, then redevelops off the Mid Atlantic
coast. This will bring the potential for several inches of snow to
portions of the region mainly late Tuesday into Wednesday
afternoon...but precipitation type is uncertain along and southeast
of the Boston to Providence corridor. Dry weather likely follows
Thursday into Friday with unseasonably mild temperatures expected
for the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
* Mesoscale snow event across portions of eastern MA into the evening
* Highest snowfall totals expected south of Boston in Plymouth County

Today...

Very strong 1048 mb high pressure system across Quebec will combined
with a weak wave of low pressure passing well southeast of the
Benchmark. This was already resulting in winds shifting to the
northeast along the coast and low clouds advancing westward.  The
main issue today will be a mesoscale snow event that will impact
portions of eastern MA. Light snow showers and flurries were already
developing across eastern MA and even into RI early this morning. We
expect this activity to increase near daybreak and especially later
this morning as the 925 easterly LLJ increase to between 25 and 30
knots.  The other main component will be a coastal front that is
currently setting up over Plymouth County. Temps to the northwest of
this boundary will be in the upper teens/lower 20s, while areas
southeast of the boundary will see readings in the upper 20s to
lower 30s and some locales across the Cape/ACK will get above
freezing. Lastly, the land/sea interface will also aid in forcing
for this mesoscale snow event.

The coastal front across Plymouth county along with a 25 to 30 knot
easterly LLJ will result in the mesoscale snow event mainly across
portions of eastern MA...but some lighter snow showers/flurries will
impact RI. We have to rely on the high resolution models and
climatology on these type of events as heavier snow bands tend to be
quite narrow and localized. Based on the above factors...we favor
Boston/s south shore into Plymouth county to see the heaviest
amounts of snow but some of this may also clip Cape Ann.  The
heavily traveled Route 3 connecting Boston to the south shore will
be impacted by these heavier bands of snow.  We think 2 to 4 inches
of snow seems reasonable in this region...but can not rule out very
localized 5-6 inch amounts. The snow will likely be very banded with
amounts varying considerably in a matter miles.  Will continue the
winter weather advisory for Plymouth county and eastern Norfolk
county.

As we get outside of these favored bands...generally thinking an
inch or two of snow from Boston to Taunton.  It is important to
remember though that the mesoscale models being off by just 10 miles
will make the difference of where the localized heavier snow
develops.

Meanwhile...just a bit northwest of the Boston to Providence
corridor nothing more than some flurries are expected.  We still do
expect low clouds to push towards the CT River Valley given the
onshore flow.  High temps will mainly be in the lower to middle 20s.

PLEASE NOTE: Because of the more widespread snowfall potential Tue
into Wed (See Long Term below), our snowfall maps on the web
(including probabilities) will focus on that since a much larger
area will be impacted. We will post the expected snowfall map for
today into this evening on social media.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM TUESDAY/...
Ocean effect snow showers will continue along the eastern MA
coast into part of the evening. However...this snow should be
coming to an end after midnight or so as the easterly LLJ
weakens and coastal front shifts offshore. Otherwise...dry
weather expected elsewhere for much of the night. We may see a
bit of light snow develop across western MA towards 12z as weak
warm advection commences aloft. Lots of clouds tonight will
probably keep low temperatures in the teens...although a bit
milder along the southeast New England coast.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...

*** Risk For Some Warning Level Snow Late Tue into Wed ***

Overview and model preferences...
The arctic PV lobe that we have been discussing for some time
now, after settling near the Great Lakes through Mon night is
expected to gradually open, as it responds to influence of the
remnants of an upstream Rex Block. Even though the parent wave
itself gradually dissipates (and the clipper associated with
it), the breakdown of the cutoff into an open trof actually
shifts the mean jet such that its poleward exit region orients
offshore, developing a secondary weak low pres. It is this that
will generate an enhanced precip shield within modest low-mid
lvl f-gen, leading to widespread snowfall later Tue into Wed.
However, this breakdown will also allow the remnants of the
block to influence sensible wx by late week, leading to rising
heights and moderating temperatures into the weekend. Regarding
model preferences, noting enough agreement between GFS/ECMWF at
the synoptic lvl to introduce more weight to these with respect
to the ensembles. While there are still thermal differences to
work out, overall lift and QPF forecast are close enough to use
the full consensus as a baseline.

Details...

Tue into Wed...
As mentioned above, looking at the synoptic scale, there is now
generally decent agreement that as the initial clipper
attendant to the opening longwave trof upstream weakens, a
secondary low offshore of the Delmarva, will develop and track
near or along the 40/70 benchmark. However, several members of
both the ECENS and GEFS, as well as the deterministic ECMWF
itself is well inside (00Z ECMWF actually tracks the low over
the Cape). This will impact coastal snow totals, as it
introduces air at H92 near or above +2C, so portions from Boston
to Providence and points SE remain the area with most
uncertainty given the introduction of warm air. Elsewhere,
soundings are cold enough for all SN. SLRs are unlikely to be
maximized, as the best f-gen forcing/weak deformation NW of the
low will be below the DGZ, even though it fully moistens Tue
night into early Wed. Agree with previous forecaster that better
than 10 to 1, maybe in the 12 to 15 range is probably a good
starting point right now given weak lift where it should be
maximized. The PWATs, given the influence of Atlantic moisture
with the secondary low Tue night into Wed, now average closer to
0.50 inches, which is close to 1 std deviation above
climatological normals. Final QPF totals now range from about
0.40 to as much as 0.75 inches with this slight tick up in
moisture. Using the applied ratios, this is advisory territory,
with the potential for isolated low end warnings, with
widespread 4-6 inches and a few spots higher. Timing of earliest
snowfall would be Tue across the W with the initial clipper,
with the heaviest (although limited to 1in/hr or less) mainly
Tue night through Wed morning, including the Wed morning
commute. Given the upward trends in both the strength of the
secondary low and moisture. Stay tuned as this will evolve over
the next 24-36 hours. Ensemble probs, WPC and CIPS analogs are
all suggesting decent probs of approaching the warning
threshold. Given all of these factors will issue a Winter Storm
Watch for the interior or MA, where confidence is highest in
this occurrence. Regarding temps, expecting mainly 20s and low
30s for the interior, while the introduction of warm air around
or above H92 could allow temps above freezing SE of the BOS-PVD
corridor.

Thu...
With the trend of opening the wave more quickly now than runs
earlier this past week, the pattern is overall more progressive
especially as the upstream Rex breaks down. This supports
secondary coastal development further offshore for Thu,
something even the ECMWF, which was the most amplified now falls
in line with, including the majority of its ensembles.
Therefore, will continue to trend grids toward a drier solution
for Thu. However, the influence of of the moderating arctic air
is likely to be felt. H92 temps drop following the exit of low
pres, reaching about -10C by early Thu morning. This should keep
overnight lows following the storm and highs on Thu near or
just below normal. Mainly in the teens at night, to upper 20s
and low 30s by day.

Fri through the weekend..
The remnants of the ridge to the W gradually build across New
England along with high pres oriented to the S. This suggests
continued moderation of the airmass and daytime snow melt as H92
temps warm from an average around -5C Fri to +6C by Sun. This
would favor temps mainly above normal, and likely into the 50s
to near 60 in spots by Sun. Overall dry wx is likely given
soundings show influence of high pres in the form of a broad
subsidence inversion.

Early next week...
Although early indications suggest another trof impacting the
region, currently cutoff in the Pacific vortex, and that the
moderated airmass suggests mainly a warm setup, there is enough
uncertainty that any POPs will remain low with this update.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /through Tonight/...

Today...Moderate to high confidence.  MVFR Cigs will continue to
advance westward to the CT River Valley this morning and continue
into the afternoon.  Ocean effect snow showers will primarily impact
portions of eastern MA...especially Boston/s south shore.  IFR
conditions expected at times with even very localized VLIFR
conditions.  Some light snow showers will likely extend back into
portions of RI.

Tonight...Moderate to high confidence in TAF.  Snow showers across
eastern MA should wind down by midnight or so.  Otherwise...low end
VFR to MVFR Cigs expected in a broken deck of low clouds.

KBOS Terminal...Moderate confidence in TAF.  Heaviest snow likely
remains just south of the terminal...but probably will see
conditions vary from MVFR to IFR in snow showers much of the day. An
inch or two of snow possible at the terminal today.

KBDL Terminal...High confidence in TAF.

Outlook /Tuesday through Friday/...

Tuesday: MVFR/IFR conditions possible. Slight chance SN.

Tuesday Night: Mainly IFR, with areas MVFR possible. Breezy.
SN.

Wednesday: Mainly IFR, with areas MVFR possible. Windy with
local gusts to 30 kt. SN.

Wednesday Night: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Breezy.
Slight chance SHSN.

Thursday through Friday: VFR. Breezy.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /Today and Tonight/... High confidence.

Today...High confidence.  Increasing gradient between strong high
pressure across Quebec and weak wave of low pressure passing well
southeast of the Benchmark will result in NE wind gusts of 20 to 30
knots.  SCA headlines posted for all waters except Boston Harbor and
Narragansett Bay.  Ocean enhanced snow will reduce visibility at
times, particularly near the eastern MA coast.

Tonight...High confidence.  Northeast 25 knot wind gusts will
diminish from west to east overnight as the pressure gradient
weakens.  Left over swell though will keep seas above small craft
thresholds through daybreak across all outer waters.

Outlook /Tuesday through Friday/...

Tuesday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of rough seas. Local
visibility 1 to 3 nm.

Tuesday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Snow
likely, rain likely. Visibility 1 to 3 nm.

Wednesday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of rough seas. Rain,
snow. Visibility 1 to 3 nm.

Wednesday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of rough seas.
Chance of snow showers. Visibility 1 to 3 nm.

Thursday through Thursday Night: Moderate risk for Small Craft
Advisory winds with gusts up to 25 kt. Areas of rough seas.

Friday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft.

.HYDROLOGY...
Minor flooding continues along Taunton and Pawcatuck where Flood
Warnings remain posted. Flood warnings were also issued last evening
for the CT River at Hartford and Middle Haddam...where very
minor flooding is occurring with a lot of ice causing river
fluctuations.

Colder weather will persist through midweek which will limit
additional runoff, although we should see some building of snow
pack from bands of ocean effect snow in eastern MA Monday and
for much of region Tuesday into Wednesday.
