What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Feb 19, 3:07 AM EST, 8 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 19, 3:07 AM EST, 8 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
307 AM EST Mon Feb 19 2018

.SYNOPSIS...

A warm front will likely bring a period of showers late today and
tonight. This will set the stage for near record high temperatures
Tuesday and especially Wednesday...so long as enough sunshine is
realized. Cooler temperatures work into the region Thursday into the
weekend...but still expecting them to remain above normal. Best
chance for unsettled weather will be sometime Friday into next
weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...

1240 AM Update...

High pressure ridge slowly pushing E across the region early
this morning, which should move off the coast by around 12Z.
Veil of high thin cirrus continues to move E across the
northeast U.S. as seen on latest GOES-East Air Mass RGB
composite satellite loop.

Noting mainly calm winds across the region on the 05Z
observations so, even with the passing high clouds, temps were
mainly in the 20s except a bit milder across the urban centers.
With the temps below freezing, should see refreezing of any
standing waters into black ice on untreated surfaces.

Short range models continue to signal a warm bias vs. current
conditions, so have adjusted downward. Beginning to see winds
shift to SE-S across central and E NY state on the backside of
the ridge so suspect that, once winds start to gradually
increase from the S, temps should halt their fall and even rise
a bit overnight. The question is when this will start. Will
continue to monitor this aspect.

Have updated to incorporate near term trends into the overnight
forecast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...

Increasing south winds will boost temperatures well above
normal Monday, and likely keep temperatures nearly steady or
slowly rising Monday night.

Morning sunshine. Increasing clouds during the afternoon as a
warm front approaches. There appears to be enough forcing and
moisture for a likely period of showers sometime late afternoon
into Monday night. Chance for showers should decrease after
midnight Tuesday as a warm front moves into northern New
England. It should remain mostly cloudy, though.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...

Highlights...

* Wednesday: Near all time February record highs might be approached
  if enough sunshine is realized

* Cooler Thu/Fri into next weekend but temps still above normal

* Unsettled weather possible sometime Friday into next weekend with
  ptype favoring rain although a bit of ice/snow can not be ruled out

Details...

Tuesday night...

Massive southeast upper level ridge will result in an anomalous
southwest flow of very mild air into southern New England.  Low
temps may not drop below 50 away from the cooler marine influence of
the south coast.  Some low clouds and fog are certainly
possible...especially near the Cape/Islands with high dewpoint air
moving over the relatively cool ocean.

Wednesday...

Anomalous upper level ridge of 594 decameters off the southeast
coast will pump an incredibly mild airmass into our region for late
February standards. This will result in 850T rising to between +12C
and +14C.  Given southwest flow...high temperatures will climb well
into the 60s to lower 70s inland from the cooling marine influence
of the southeast New England coast.  If this ends up being the
case...record highs would be broken and near all time February
record high temperatures would be challenged.  The one fly in the
ointment is if we are jammed up in a bunch of low clouds.  NAM
soundings suggests this as a possibility...but often southwest flow
is able to allow for these to break up.  However...if the low clouds
remain in place high temps would be cooler than currently forecast.
Something later shifts will have to monitor closely.

Wednesday night and Thursday...

While the southeast upper level ridge will remain in place...1040+
MB surface high pressure system will approach from the west and
force a cold front south of the region Wed night/Thu.  The result
will be significantly cooler temperatures Thursday with high
temperatures mainly in the 40s.  At this time...the bulk of the
period looks dry but we can not rule out a period of mainly ana
frontal showers which are depicted in some of the GEFS/EPS ensemble
members.

Friday through Sunday....

Low confidence forecast particularly with timing...but the potential
exists for a couple rounds of unsettled weather Friday into next
weekend.  Certainly not expecting the entire period to be a
washout...just impossible to try to time individual shortwaves this
far out.  The southeast ridge remains pretty strong...so ptype
favors mainly rain.  However...if a couple Canadian high pressure
systems are slower to retreat it could be marginally cold enough to
support a bit of snow/ice.
