Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
103 PM EST Tue Feb 13 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure brings dry but chilly weather to southern New
England today. Unseasonably mild weather is anticipated
Wednesday into Friday afternoon with scattered rain showers
from time to time ahead of an approaching cold front. A
brief shot of cold but dry weather follows Friday night
into Saturday...but above normal temperatures
return Sunday and especially by Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

100 pm update...

High pressure passing overhead with light winds over the area.
Sunny/mostly sunny skies continue for most of the area.
Exception to this is along the Cape and Islands where
approaching ocean effect stratocumulus bring more clouds than
sun. A few stratocumulus may make their way into east coastal
MA north of the Cape as well. With relatively weak mixing high
temps expected to be mainly in the low- mid 30s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
Tonight..
High pres shifts E with return flow developing. This will allow
the lower lvls to gradually moisten through the evening. In
fact, by 12Z Wed, soundings show nearly saturated profile
beneath H8 with drier air above. Therefore, expecting
increasing cloud cover from S-N, especially as a very weak
shortwave and attendant warm front approaches from the S. Also,
given very weak lift, and moisture below H8, could see the
development of some late night/early AM very light precip,
drizzle or snow flurries with little to no accum. The lift will
be weak, and lacking any form of sfc/low lvl convergent
boundary. In fact, will continue with NIL POPs, but add it to
weather as a possibility mainly S of the Mass Pike, where
moisture is peaked.

Temps will be key at this point, as there is a risk for sfc
temps to drop near or below freezing before or as precip starts
if it does. Could see localized flurry/freezing drizzle which
will need to be watched for the Wed AM commute.

Wed...
Aside from the early AM ice risk, warm front should be able to
shift N of the region thanks to enhanced S flow through the day.
This allows H85 temps to reach a full standard deviation above
normal, or nearly +2C to +4C by late afternoon. There is a
modest damming signal which could slow this progression.
However, will likely see highs reaching mid 40s to around 50F
especially if some later day sunshine is observed. Rising
heights through the day support this possibility, before a
stronger wave arrives Wed evening/overnight.

&&

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

* Brief showers possible late Wed night/early Thu am, otherwise
  mainly dry with unseasonably mild temperatures Thu afternoon

* Cold front likely brings some showers Thu night/Fri am followed by
  a brief shot of dry but cold weather Fri night/Sat

* Above normal temps return early next week but there is a low risk
  for a period of ice/snow during the transition

Details...

Wednesday night and Thursday...

Anomalous upper level ridging over the Gulf coast will result in
unseasonably mild westerly flow across southern New England. We may
have a brief round of showers late Wed night/early Thu with a burst
of marginal elevated instability/moisture. The low level jet has
mainly a westerly component...so uncertain if these brief showers
will impact most of the area or pass to the south of most locations.

Regardless...mainly dry weather anticipated by late Thu morning and
afternoon.  Given well mixed atmosphere and 850T between +4C and
+6C...high temps should be well above normal. High temps will likely
climb well into the 50s. However...if we end up with more sunshine
than expected it is not out of the question that a few locations in
the lower elevations could break 60!

Thursday night and Friday...

Weak wave of low pressure and approaching cold front will likely
bring a period of showers to the region Thu night into Fri morning.
Mild/above normal temperatures will continue over this time period.
Temps should remain above freezing Thu night with highs well up into
the 40s to lower 50s on Fri.

Friday night and Saturday...

Dry weather but a brief shot of cold air moves into the region
behind the cold front. Low temps Fri night in the teens to lower
20s with highs Sat mainly in the 30s.

Sunday and Monday...

Upper level ridging builds across the southeast coast resulting in
the return of unseasonably high height fields into southern New
England. Above normal temperatures will return early next week. Some
guidance is indicated the risk for a bit of snow or ice during the
transition back to milder temperatures Sat night/Sun.  Will call
that a low risk for now but something will have to watch.

...Pockets of freezing drizzle or black ice possible late tonight
and early Wednesday...

Moisture will be increasing late tonight near the coast as a weak
onshore flow develops. With temperatures below freezing, some of
this moisture may freeze on road surfaces with pockets of black ice
possible late tonight and early Wednesday. In addition, there is a
low risk for patchy freezing drizzle developing toward daybreak
across portions of Rhode Island and southeast Massachusetts which
could impact the morning commute.

While many areas will remain dry, motorists traveling to work or
school early Wednesday morning should be prepared for the
possibility of some slick roads due to black ice or pockets of
freezing drizzle.
