Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
347 PM EST Sat Dec 15 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure builds across northern New England tonight
providing dry chilly weather. Low pressure approaches New
England from the south with rain overspreading the region from
south to north Sunday, although the steadiest and heaviest rain
arrives Sunday evening and overnight. Precipitation will likely
be a mix of sleet and freezing rain across northwest CT into
western-central MA then trending toward light snow Sunday night.
Greatest impact will be at the higher elevations where
temperatures will be below freezing. Low pressure exits seaward
Monday with a drying trend. Behind the low a cold blast
overspreads southern New England Monday night into Wednesday
morning. Milder weather returns Thursday followed by the
potential for gusty heavy rain showers Friday.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

330 PM update...

Frontal boundary has now reached the south coast with earlier
light rain offshore. Dew pts still around 50 along the south
coast but dew pts drop off into the 30s across northern MA in
the deeper post frontal airmass. As northern stream short wave
currently over Maine moves east this will drive frontal boundary
farther south with dew pts falling into the 20s and 30s
overnight. Thus dry weather prevails and not expecting any fog
given the drier airmass. Although may be enough moisture for
frost where temps fall below freezing, mainly north and west of
HFD-PVD-BOS. However, until the core of the colder/drier
airmass arrives enjoy temps of 50-55 late this afternoon!

Later tonight as low pressure approaches from the south, 1025 mb
high over Maine will squeeze the pgrad and result in increasing
NE winds along the south coast including Cape Cod.

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

Updated 330 PM...

*** Wintry mix of precip inland especially High Terrain ***

Synoptic Overview...

Northern stream short wave currently across ME moves east
tonight and delivers a burst of low level cold air advection
tonight into Sunday, setting the stage for a wintry mix of
precip inland Sunday/Sunday night before ending Monday morning.
The key here is the cold air is fairly shallow (below 850 mb)
Sunday, thus not deep enough to support snow until Sunday night
when the column begins to cool from the top down courtesy of
height falls as the vertically stacked low deepens Sunday night
as it tracks over or near the benchmark. This is typically a
favorable track for heavy snow, however the antecedent airmass
is not very cold as mentioned above and this is a southern
stream system that doesn't phase with any northern stream
energy. Thus no infusion of cold air.

Sunday...

Model soundings show dry layer between 800-900 mb which delays
northward progression of rain shield during the day. Thus
steadiest rain occurs late in the day across CT-RI and southeast
MA with just spotty light rain elsewhere. Concern is Sunday
morning there may be enough low level moisture for some spotty
drizzle across northern CT and over the border into southwest MA
eastward into southern Worcester county. Therefore there is a
very low risk for some spotty freezing drizzle across this
region. Will issue a Special Weather Statement to address this.

Otherwise rain shield slowly overspreads the region from south
to north Sunday especially during the afternoon. Most location
the column is warm enough along with surface temps to support
all rain. However from northwest Hartford county into western-
central MA a mix of freezing rain and sleet is likely with the
greatest travel impact at elevations above 1000 ft during the
day where temps will be near freezing. Again most of the region
will have temps above freezing so just expecting wet roadways.

NE winds continue to increase especially along the south coast
including Cape Cod and the islands as low pres approaches with
attending low level ENE jet.

Sunday night...

Coastal low continues to slowly deepen as it tracks over or near
the benchmark. This causes the column to cool from top down in
response to height falls with mid level warm layer eroding
across northwest CT into western-central MA. This is where sleet
and freezing rain will transition to mainly light snow
overnight. Thus a winter weather advisory has been issued for
this region for a period of wintry mix (sleet and freezing rain)
followed by a coating to 2 inches of snow possible. Greatest
forecast confidence for impact will be across the higher terrain
where temps will be at or below freezing, so expecting slippery
travel here. Thus the advisory has been confined to the highest
elevations. At lower elevations in the advisory area roads may
just have a minor slushy accumulation or perhaps just wet in the
valleys. If later trends suggest a colder scenario the advisory
may have to be expanded south and east. But for now any travel
impacts should be confined the high terrain of northwest CT into
western-central MA.

Elsewhere especially from HFD-PVD-BOS to the coastline just
expecting periods of rain overnight and wind gusts up to 40 mph
over Cape Cod and the Islands. Held off on a wind advisory as
wind gusts will be marginal given lack of cold air and steep low
level lapse rates in addition to strongest winds still beyond 36
hrs. Later shifts will have to monitor trends here.

Monday morning...

Vertically stacked low just NE of the 40N/70W benchmark remains
progressive and moves farther offshore with morning precip
ending and giving way to at least partial clearing by midday or
so.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...

*/ Highlights...

 - Cold, dry and blustery late Monday into Tuesday
 - Mild conditions return Wednesday into Thursday
 - Rain forecast for Friday
 - Blustery, cold, dry conditions for the following weekend

*/ Overview...

H5 ridge-trof setup, downshearing potential vorticity, colder air,
tapping into the S-stream sub-tropical Pacific jet. Yet Arctic air
bottled up N. Cohesion between the two into this weekend, there are
forecast winter weather outcomes highlighted in the discussion below
along with forecast model preference. Echoing the prior forecaster,
this is a complex interaction between N- and S-stream energy. Better
model clustering with 15.0z guidance, however there are still subtle
differences, and there's a lot of forecaster aggravation determining
precip-types and subsequent outcomes. Ensemble mean preference along
with WPC forecasts, however leaned a bit more with the EC / NAM with
respect to more small-scale details.

*/ Discussion...

Late Monday into Tuesday...

Windy and cold. Bombing low over SE Canada, cold air advection as a
result of the isallobaric / gradient wind response dragging Arctic
air S. H85 temperatures around -13 to -15C by Tuesday morning. Steep
lapse rates upwards to H85 beneath the inversion, highs around 30.
Potential for nearing wind advisory criteria, gales on the waters.
Lake effect machine ongoing, snow shower / flurry activity across
the Berkshires. Weather dissipating as high pressure builds into the
region Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Clear and calm, leaning
with coldest forecast guidance with lows in the teens.

Wednesday into Thursday...

Moderating temperature trend as high pressure shifts E and S-flow
returns. More seasonable conditions expected with increasing clouds
late ahead of a storm system for the late-week timeframe.

Friday into the weekend...

Upstream pattern amplification, energy is downsheared again across
the CONUS, latching into the sub-tropical Pacific jet. Lifting NE
against the Atlantic ridge, seemingly more inside-running, forecast
shot of warm, wet weather for Friday followed by cold air advection
and drier conditions with blustery W / NW winds over the weekend.

...LOW RISK FOR SPOTTY FREEZING DRIZZLE SUNDAY MORNING...

Spotty light drizzle may overspread northern Connecticut into
Worcester county early Sunday morning. Surface temperatures will
be around freezing during this time, therefore any drizzle will
freeze upon contact with the ground making for potentially
slippery travel. However if the precipitation holds off until
later Sunday morning when temperatures rise above freezing roads
will be just wet.

Stay tuned to later forecasts for updated information.
